Project description:Ischemic heart disease remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide despite improved possibilities in medical care. Alongside interventional therapies, such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), adjuvant tissue-engineered and cell-based treatments can provide regenerative improvement. Unfortunately, most of these advanced approaches require multiple lengthy and costly preparation stages without in turn delivering significant clinical benefit.
Here, we investigated the effect of epicardial matrix patch-encased atrial appendage micrografts (AAMs) in a mouse model of myocardial infarction. The matrix-covered AAM patches salvaged the myocardium from infarction-induced functional tissue loss. Fibrosis was attenuated, and site-targeted proteomics revealed AAM patch-activated pathways for angiogenesis and cardiogenesis. The matrix component of the graft further supports functional myocardial recovery by ventricular unloading.
The composite epicardial matrix graft encasing AAM micrografts delivers effects desirable for adjuvant cardiac therapy preserving functional cardiac tissue and restricting fibrosis after myocardial infarction.

Project description:Purpose: This study aims to identify IHD-associated signature RNAs from the atrial myocardium and evaluate their ability to reflect disease severity or cardiac surgery outcomes. Methods: We collected right atrial appendage (RAA) biopsies from 40 patients with invasive coronary angiography (ICA)-positive IHD undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery and from 8 patients ICA-negative for IHD (non-IHD) undergoing valvular surgery. Following RNA sequencing, RAA transcriptomes were analyzed against those 429 donors from the GTEx project without cardiac background. Results: The IHD transcriptome was characterized using repressed RNA expressions in pathways for cell–cell contacts and mitochondrial dysfunction. Specifically, we identified the increased expressions of the CSRNP3, FUT10, SHD, NAV2-AS4, and hsa-mir-181 genes to correlate with the complexity of coronary artery obstructions or with a functional cardiac benefit from bypass surgery. Conclusions: Our results provide an atrial myocardium–focused insight into IHD signature RNAs. The specific gene expression changes we characterized here pave the way for disease mechanism–based identification of biomarkers allowing for the early detection and treatment of IHD.

Project description:Accumulating studies have suggested that epicardial adipose tissue play an important role in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF), but few have characterized the underlying mechanism between their interactions. Recent evidence suggested that bioactive molecules secreted from EAT, including exosomes carrying non-coding RNAs, may modulate atrial remodeling. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression profile of mRNAs and ncRNAs in EAT with AF.

Project description:By contrast with mammals, adult zebrafish have a high capacity to regenerate damaged or lost myocardium through proliferation of spared cardiomyocytes. The epicardial sheet covering the heart is activated by injury and aids muscle regeneration through paracrine effects and as a multipotent cell source, and has received recent attention as a target in cardiac repair strategies. While it is recognized that epicardium is required for muscle regeneration and itself has high regenerative potential, the extent of cellular heterogeneity within epicardial tissue is largely unexplored. In this study, we performed transcriptome analysis on dozens of epicardial lineage cells purified from zebrafish harboring a transgenic reporter for the pan-epicardial gene tcf21. Hierarchical clustering analysis suggested the presence of at least three epicardial cell subsets defined by expression signatures. We validated many new pan-epicardial and epicardial markers by alternative expression assays. Additionally, we explored the function of the scaffolding protein and main component of caveolae, caveolin-1 (cav1), which was present in each epicardial subset. In BAC transgenic zebrafish, cav1 regulatory sequences drove strong expression in ostensibly all epicardial cells and in coronary vascular endothelial cells. Moreover, cav1 mutant zebrafish generated by genome editing showed grossly normal heart development and adult cardiac anatomy, but displayed profound defects in injury-induced cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration. Our study defines a new platform for the discovery of epicardial lineage markers, genetic tools, and mechanisms of heart regeneration. Deep sequencing of isolated single epicardial cells

Project description:Introduction: Post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a frequent complication after cardiac surgery, but its pathophysiology remains incompletely understood. Considering that epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is in close vicinity with the atrial myocardium, we hypothesized that a specific pre-operative EAT phenotype would be associated to POAF onset following surgery. Methods: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery prospectively enrolled in the POMI-AF cohort between February 2016 and June 2017 were studied. EAT samples were collected at the beginning of surgery. Whole-tissue gene expression patterns and the stromal and vascular fraction (SVF) cellular composition were explored. Patients were followed after surgery by continuous ECG to detect POAF onset. Results: Among the 60 patients included in the cohort, 15 POAF and 15 non-POAF patients were matched based on pre-operative characteristics. Gene set enrichment analysis of transcriptomic data from pre-operative EAT samples revealed 40 enriched biological processes in POAF vs non-POAF patients. Most of these processes were related to cellular immune response. Leukocytes (63±15% of total cells), and more specifically lymphocytes (56±13% of total CD45+ cells), represented the major cell subset in the preoperative EAT SVF, with no quantitative differences between POAF and SR patients (76 [52; 84]% vs 56 [50; 64]%, p=0.22). However, POAF patients presented a significantly higher cytotoxic CD8+/helper CD4+ T lymphocyte ratio than SR patients (respectively, 0.69[0.55; 1.19] vs 0.50 [0.31; 0.54], p=0.03) suggesting a cytotoxic shift prior to surgery. Conclusion: Epicardial fat from patients who develop POAF displays a specific pre-operative transcriptome signature characteristic of cellular immune response and cytotoxic lymphocyte enrichment.

Project description:Purpose: Studying the epicardium-myocardium crosstalk in the zebrafish larval heart. To do so, we aimed to identify, with RNA-seq, the genes dysregulated following the loss of the epicardial marker gene tcf21 in sorted epicardial cells and cardiomyocytes. Results: We first analyzed the transcriptome of epicardial and myocardial WT cells and identified cell-type specific/enriched genes. Then, we identified several differential expressed genes in tcf21 mutants, including several ligand-receptor couples known to mediate the epicardium-myocardium crosstalk.

Project description:The epicardium is a mesothelial layer covering the myocardium and contributes to different cardiac lineage descendants during cardiogenesis. Fine-tuned balanced signaling defines epicardial specification and regulates cell plasticity and cell-fate decisions of epicardial-derived cells (EPCDs) by epicardial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, powerful tools to investigate epicardial cell function, including markers with pivotal roles in developmental signaling, are still lacking. Here, we recapitulated embryonic epicardiogenesis using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and identified type II classical cadherin CDH18 as a novel biomarker defining lineage specification in human developing epicardium. The loss of CDH18 led to the onset of EMT and specific differentiation towards cardiac smooth muscle cells. Furthermore, GATA4 regulated epicardial CDH18 expression. These results demonstrate the production and enrichment of hiPSC-derived epicardial cells via the tracing of CDH18 expression, providing a model for investigating epicardial function in human development and disease and enabling new possibilities for regenerative medicine.
