Secreted-frizzled-related protein 5 modulates calcium handling in human iPSC-cardiomyocytes

ABSTRACT: End-stage heart failure caused by myocardial injury is a leading cause of death in the developed world, with high prevalence and poor prognosis. Current therapies focus on attenuating cardiac remodeling after a cardiovascular event such as myocardial infarction or pressure overload, but no therapy is currently available to halt or reverse disease progression. Recent studies have suggested a cardioprotective function of the Wnt5a inhibitor secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) in preventing adverse cardiac remodeling. However, until now, the underlying molecular mechanisms of SFRP5 treatment in the human heart are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the mechanistic and functional consequences of SFRP5 by establishing knockout and overexpression models in human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. Transcriptome profiling and deep pathway analysis revealed an involvement of SFRP5 in the regulation of calcium handling, cardiac contraction, and apoptosis. Functional analysis of iPSC-cardiomyocytes by live-cell calcium imaging confirmed the regulatory role of SFRP5 on calcium homeostasis. Our study uncovered a novel role of SFRP5 as a modulator of calcium handling, providing a deeper molecular understanding of the cardioprotective role of SFRP5 in the human heart.

MED12cKO heart ventricles from male mice [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The Mediator complex regulates gene transcription by linking basal transcriptional machinery with DNA-bound transcription factors. The activity of the Mediator complex is mainly controlled by a kinase submodule that is comprised of four proteins, including MED12. Although ubiquitously expressed, Mediator subunits can differentially regulate gene expression in a tissue-specific manner. Here, we report that MED12 is required for normal cardiac function such that mice with conditional cardiac-specific deletion of MED12 display progressive dilated cardiomyopathy. Loss of MED12 perturbs expression of calcium handling genes in the heart, consequently altering calcium cycling in cardiomyocytes and disrupting cardiac electrical activity. We identified transcription factors that regulate expression of calcium-handling genes that are downregulated in the heart in the absence of MED12, and found that MED12 localizes to transcription factor consensus sequences within calcium handling genes. We showed that MED12 interacts with one such transcription factor, MEF2, in cardiomyocytes, and that MED12 and MEF2 co-occupy promoters of calcium handling genes. Furthermore, we demonstrated that MED12 enhances MEF2 transcriptional activity and overexpression of both increases expression of calcium handling genes in cardiomyocytes. Our data support a role for MED12 as a coordinator of transcription through MEF2 and other transcription factors. We conclude that MED12 is a regulator of a network of calcium handling genes, consequently “mediating” contractility in the mammalian heart.

YAP-TEAD multiphasic activation regulates pluripotent stem cell mechanics to drive cardiac specification and contractility in pathological heart.

Project description:YAP transcriptional regulator controls cell mechanics by activating genes involved in cell-matrix interaction following extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling and stiffening. YAP is needed for cardiogenesis in mouse but is repressed in adult cardiomyocytes. The protein is reactivated following ischemic insults, although the timing and mechanisms underlying YAP depletion during heart development and the reason for its reactivation are unclear. Here, we combine pluripotent stem cell (PSC) cardiac differentiation, mouse embryo development and human heart tissue analysis to demonstrate that the fine-tuning of cell mechanics, as controlled by YAP multiphasic activation through TEAD transcription, is crucial for mesoderm commitment and cardiac progenitor specification. Finally, by adopting induced PSC models of dilated cardiomyopathy, we prove that YAP-TEAD reactivation in diseased cardiomyocytes empowers calcium handling apparatus and increases cell contractility. Given YAP prompt activation following myocardial infarction, we unveil a novel role for mechanosensing in connecting ECM remodelling to cardiomyocyte function in pathological heart.

Heart-on-a-chip model of SARS-CoV-2 infection and treatment with induced pluripotent stem cell derived extracellular vesicles

Project description:Abstract: Although COVID-19–associated heart dysfunction has identified in individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection, complex and multifaceted pathophysiology in patients complicates the investigation of pathogenesis related to clinical manifestations and mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction after viral invasion. This study comprehensively investigated pathogenesis regarding SARS-CoV-2 infection via tissue model established from human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) and cardiomyopathy model induced by angiotensin II. We recapitulated cytopathic features of SARS-CoV-2-induced cardiac damage and monitored the course of cardiac complications after infection, which is critically important to develop therapeutics. We found that SARS-CoV-2 infection of hiPSC-CMs models progressively impaired contractile function and calcium handling and led to cell death. Therapeutics potential towards myocardial injury was further developed in our tissue model. We evaluated cardioprotective effects of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from hiPSC source on the infected tissues, indicating that EVs alleviated the impairment of contractile force and cardiac cell death following SARS-CoV-2 infection. We showed that enriched microRNA in hiPSC-EVs can modulate cardiac-specific processes. These findings suggested that cardiac manifestations examined from tissues models provided insights into cardiac injury induced by SARS-CoV-2 infection, and model systems allow the investigation of mechanisms driving cardiac dysfunction and iPSC-EVs served as a promising therapy to rescue cardiac damage from infection.

Functional abnormalities in iPSC-CMs generated from titin-mutated patients

Project description:Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a myocardial disorder that can result in progressive heart failure and arrhythmias, is defined by ventricular chamber enlargement and dilatation, and systolic dysfunction. To decipher the basis for the cardiac pathology in titin-mutated patients, we investigated the hypothesis that induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC)- derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CM) generated from patients, recapitulate the disease phenotype.Our findings show that the mutated cardiomyocytes from DCM patients recapitulate abnormalities of the inherited cardiomyopathies.

RNA-sequencing analysis of ZsYellow-negative cells and ZsYellow-positive cardiopharyngeal progenitors and cardiomyocytes purified from the same 14-16 somites stage Tg(nkx2.5:ZsYellow) zebrafish embryos

Project description:The identification of novel cardiomyocyte-intrinsic factors that support ventricular function will expand the number of candidate genes and therapeutic options for heart failure, a leading cause of death worldwide. Here, we demonstrate that a conserved RNA-binding protein RBPMS2 is required for ventricular function in zebrafish and for myofibril organization and the regulation of intracellular calcium dynamics in zebrafish and human cardiomyocytes. A differential expression screen uncovered co-expression of rbpms2a and rbpms2b in zebrafish cardiomyocytes. Double knockout embryos suffer from compromised ventricular filling during the relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle, which significantly reduces cardiac output. Evaluating rbpms2-null embryos with splicing-sensitive differential expression analysis, quantitative PCR, and in situ hybridization revealed differential alternative splicing of cardiomyopathy genes including myosin binding protein C3 (mybpc3) and phospholamban (pln). Cardiomyocytes in double mutant ventricles and those derived from RBPMS2-null human induced pluripotent stem cells exhibit myofibril disarray and calcium handling abnormalities. Taken together, our data suggest that RBPMS2 performs a conserved role in regulating alternative splicing in cardiomyocytes, which is required for sarcomere organization, optimal calcium handling, and cardiac function.

KMT2D regulates specific programs in heart development via histone H3 lysine 4 dimethylation

Project description:Histone modifying genes involved in histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation are critical for heart development, but the roles of these genes are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate a requirement for the H3K4 methyltransferase KMT2D in cardiac precursors and cardiomyocytes during cardiogenesis. Gene expression analysis revealed upregulation of hypoxia response genes, as well as downregulation of ion transport and cell cycle genes, leading to altered calcium handling and cell cycle defects. We further determined that myocardial Kmt2d deletion led to decreased H3K4me2 at promoters and enhancers. Finally, we identified KMT2D binding regions in cardiomyocytes, of which a subset was associated with decreased gene expression and decreased H3K4me2 in mutant hearts. This subset included genes related to ion transport, hypoxia-reoxygenation and cell cycle regulation, suggesting that KMT2D is important for these processes. Our findings indicate that KMT2D is essential for regulating cardiac gene expression during heart development via H3K4 dimethylation.

ZEB2 protects the heart from ischemic damage

Project description:infarct size and subsequent deterioration in function. The identification of factors that enhance cardiac repair by the restoration of the vascular network is, therefore, of great significance. Here, we show that the transcription factor Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) is increased in stressed cardiomyocytes and induces a cardioprotective cross-talk between cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells to enhance angiogenesis after ischemia. Single-cell sequencing indicates ZEB2 to be enriched in injured cardiomyocytes. Cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of ZEB2 results in impaired cardiac contractility and infarct healing post-myocardial infarction (post-MI), while cardiomyocyte-specific ZEB2 overexpression improves cardiomyocyte survival and cardiac function. We identified Thymosin 4 (TMSB4) and Prothymosin (PTMA) as main paracrine factors released from cardiomyocytes to stimulate angiogenesis by enhancing endothelial cell migration, and whose regulation is validated in our in vivo models. Therapeutic delivery of ZEB2 to cardiomyocytes in the infarcted heart induces the expression of TMSB4 and PTMA, which enhances angiogenesis and prevents cardiac dysfunction. These findings reveal ZEB2 as a beneficial factor during ischemic injury, which may hold promise for the identification of new therapies.
