Project description:The adult heart responds to injury by scarring with consequent loss of contractile function, whereas the neonatal heart possesses the ability to regenerate. We compared the immune response to injury in neonatal and adult mouse hearts and discovered that the PD1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint pathway is highly activated in regenerative hearts but is silenced in later life. Deletion of the PD1 receptor or inactivation of its PD-L1 ligand prevented regeneration of neonatal hearts after injury. Our findings reveal a previously unrecognized role of the PD1/PD-L1 pathway in the control of heart regeneration through modulating T cell activity and inflammation following injury and provide new inroads into the control of adult tissue regeneration.

Project description:The adult mammalian heart has limited capacity for regeneration following injury, whereas the neonatal heart can readily regenerate within a short period after birth. Neonatal heart regeneration is orchestrated by multiple cell types intrinsic to the heart, as well as immune cells that infiltrate the heart after injury. To elucidate the transcriptional responses of the different cellular components of the mouse heart following injury, we performed single cell RNA-sequencing on neonatal hearts at various time points following myocardial infarction, and coupled the results with bulk tissue RNA-sequencing data collected at the same time points. Concomitant single cell ATAC-sequencing exposed underlying dynamics of open chromatin landscapes and regenerative gene regulatory networks of diverse cardiac cell types, and revealed previously unknown mediators of cardiomyocyte proliferation, angiogenesis and fibroblast activation. Together, our data provide a transcriptional basis for neonatal heart regeneration at single cell resolution and suggest new strategies for enhancing cardiac function in response to injury.

Project description:The adult mammalian heart is incapable of regeneration following injury. In contrast, the neonatal mouse heart can efficiently regenerate during the first week of life. The molecular mechanisms that mediate the regenerative response and its blockade in later life are not understood. Here, by single-nucleus RNA sequencing, we map the dynamic transcriptional landscape of five distinct cardiomyocyte populations in healthy, injured and regenerating mouse hearts. We identify immature cardiomyocytes that enter the cell-cycle following injury and disappear as the heart loses the ability to regenerate. These proliferative neonatal cardiomyocytes display a unique transcriptional program dependent on NFYa and NFE2L1 transcription factors, which exert proliferative and protective functions, respectively. Cardiac overexpression of these two factors conferred protection against ischemic injury in mature mouse hearts that were otherwise non-regenerative. These findings advance our understanding of the cellular basis of neonatal heart regeneration and reveal a transcriptional landscape for heart repair following injury.

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to cardiomyocyte death, which triggers an immune response that clears debris and restores tissue integrity. In the adult heart, the immune system facilitates scar formation, which repairs the damaged myocardium but compromises cardiac function. In neonatal mice, the heart can regenerate fully without scarring following MI; however, this regenerative capacity is lost by P7. The signals that govern neonatal heart regeneration are unknown. By comparing the immune response to MI in mice at P1 and P14, we identified differences in the magnitude and kinetics of monocyte and macrophage responses to injury. Using a cell-depletion model, we determined that heart regeneration and neoangiogenesis following MI depends on neonatal macrophages. Neonates depleted of macrophages were unable to regenerate myocardia and formed fibrotic scars, resulting in reduced cardiac function and angiogenesis. Immunophenotyping and gene expression profiling of cardiac macrophages from regenerating and nonregenerating hearts indicated that regenerative macrophages have a unique polarization phenotype and secrete numerous soluble factors that may facilitate the formation of new myocardium. Our findings suggest that macrophages provide necessary signals to drive angiogenesis and regeneration of the neonatal mouse heart. Modulating inflammation may provide a key therapeutic strategy to support heart regeneration. Total RNA was isolated from CD11b+Ly6G- cells sorted from hearts 3 days following ligation of LAD. 6 samples total: Triplicates of cells from P1 mice and from P14 mice

Project description:Background: The adult mammalian heart has limited capacity for regeneration following injury, whereas the neonatal heart can readily regenerate within a short period after birth. To uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying neonatal heart regeneration, we compared the transcriptomes and epigenomes of regenerative and non-regenerative mouse hearts over a 7-day time period following myocardial infarction. Methods: RNA-Seq, H3K27ac ChIP-Seq and H3K27me3 ChIP-Seq were performed on ventricular samples from regenerative P1 or non-regenerative P8 mouse hearts at +1.5d, +3d and +7d after MI or Sham surgery to assemble the transcriptome, active chromatin and repressed chromatin landscapes during neonatal heart regeneration. Dynamic enhancer landscapes from mouse hearts during cardiac development were analyzed using data from ENCODE. Effects on cardiomyocyte proliferation and cardiac function from selected factors identified in this study were tested using BrdU/EdU pulse-labeling or mouse models coupled with immunohistochemistry and echocardiography. Results: By integrating gene expression profiles with histone marks associated with active or repressed chromatin, we identified transcriptional programs underlying neonatal heart regeneration and the blockade to regeneration in later life. Our results reveal a unique immune response in regenerative hearts and an embryonic cardiogenic gene program that remains active during neonatal heart regeneration. Among the unique immune factors and embryonic genes associated with cardiac regeneration, we identified Ccl24, which encodes a cytokine, and Igf2bp3, which encodes an RNA-binding protein, as previously unrecognized regulators of cardiomyocyte proliferation. Conclusions: Our data provide insights into the molecular basis of neonatal heart regeneration and identify genes that might be modulated to promote heart regeneration.

Project description:The adult mammalian heart is incapable of regeneration following injury. In contrast, the neonatal mouse heart has a transient ability to regenerate, however the molecular mechanism that mediates this regenerative response is not fully understood. Here, by single-nucleus RNA sequencing we map the transcriptome landscape of cardiomyocytes in neonatal mouse hearts at healthy, regenerative, and remodeling conditions. We show that an immature cardiomyocyte population enters cell-cycle in response to injury. Absence of this cardiomyocyte population overtime is associated with the loss of the ability of the heart to regenerate. We show a defined injury response in these cardiomyocytes, including activation of transcription factors NFYa and NFE2L1, which play proliferative and protective roles, respectively. We further show that overexpression of these two factors in vivo promotes heart regeneration. Thus, these findings refined our understanding of cellular basis of neonatal heart regeneration and reveal dynamic transcriptome landscape of cardiomyocytes in response to injury.
