Project description:Childhood-onset myocardial hypertrophy and cardiomyopathic changes are associated with significant morbidity and mortality early in life, particularly in patients with Noonan syndrome, a multisystemic genetic disorder caused by autosomal dominant mutations in genes of the Ras-MAPK pathway. Although the cardiomyopathy associated with Noonan syndrome (NS-CM) shares certain cardiac features with the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy caused by mutations in sarcomeric proteins (HCM), such as pathological myocardial remodeling, ventricular dysfunction and increased risk for malignant arrhythmias, the clinical course of NS-CM significantly differs from HCM. This suggests a distinct pathophysiology that remains to be elucidated. Here, by analysis of sarcomeric myosin conformational states, histopathology and gene expression in left ventricular myocardial tissue from NS-CM, HCM and normal hearts complemented with disease modeling in cardiomyocytes differentiated from patient-derived PTPN11N308S/+ induced pluripotent stem cells, we demonstrate distinct disease phenotypes between NS-CM and HCM and uncover cell cycle defects as a potential driver of NS-CM.

Project description:Leucine-zipper-like transcriptional regulator 1 (LZTR1) is a member of the BTB-Kelch superfamily, which regulates the RAS proteostasis. Autosomal dominant (AD) mutations in LZTR1 have been identified in patients with Noonan syndrome (NS), a congenital anomaly syndrome. However, it remains unclear whether LZTR1 regulates the proteostasis of the RAS subfamily molecules and activate MAPK signaling pathway in heart. To investigate the impact of the LZTR1 mutant on gene expression, we performed RNA-seq analyses using LVs.

Project description:Mutations in LZTR1, an adaptor for cullin 3 (CUL3) ubiquitin ligase complex, are associated with glioma, hepatocarcinoma, paediatric cancers, Schwannomatosis, and Noonan syndrome (NS). NS is a poorly understood and complex disease. The variety of NS phenotypes makes it challenging to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which mutations in LZTR1 drive human disease. Using an Lztr1 knockout model, we assessed the effect of Lztr1 loss on endothelial function. Moreover, the molecular alterations mediated by Lztr1 loss were evaluated by mass-spectrometry (MS)-based ubiquitome and proteome analysis. These analyses demonstrated that Lztr1 loss affects vesicular trafficking. We identified the ESCRT III member CHMP1B as a substrate for the LZTR1/CUL3 ubiquitin complex and could show that disease-related LZTR1 mutations abolish the interaction with CHMP1B. LZTR1-mediated ubiquitination of CHMP1B facilitates its interaction with IST1 that affects the dynamics of fusion and fission of endosomal vesicles. Dysregulation of vesicular trafficking triggered by Lztr1 loss leads to up-regulation of VEGF signaling due to endosomal accumulation and activation of VEGFR2. This novel molecular mechanism provides a fundamental explanation for the role of LZTR1 in endothelial function and justify the use of anti-VEGF therapies for the treatment of NS patients.

Project description:Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a genetic heart disease defined by unexplained cardiac wall thickening, is a leading cause of sudden death worldwide. However, the three-dimensional organization of cardiac tissue underlying left ventricular hypertrophy remains poorly understood. We developed CaMVIA-3D, a deep-learning volumetric imaging and analysis pipeline to characterize cardiac microarchitecture. Analysis of tissues from HCM hearts revealed genotype-specific differences in cardiomyocyte volume, morphology, and extracellular volume, with pathogenic variants exhibiting greater concentric cellular hypertrophy and disarray, and variant-negative cases showing predominant fibrosis. Longitudinal profiling of a pig HCM model revealed early-onset fibrosis preceding cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Integrating transcriptomic and morphologic changes, we identified genes associated with cellular and extracellular remodeling. These findings define genotype-specific microstructural differences in HCM, offering insights to improve diagnostics and targeted therapies.

Project description:Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) caused by autosomal-dominant mutations in genes that code for the structural proteins of the sarcomere, is the most common inherited heart disease. HCM is associated with progressive myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis, ventricular dysfunction, and arrhythmias. Disease onset during childhood and adolescence carries the risk of morbidity and sudden cardiac death. Hypoxia and the main regulator of the cellular hypoxic response hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1a (HIF1A) have been associated with HCM, however their exact roles are not elucidated yet.

Project description:Heart disease remains the number one killer of women in the US. Nonetheless, studies in women and female animal models continue to be underrepresented in cardiac research. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the most commonly inherited cardiac disorder, has been tied to sarcomeric protein variants. Among the susceptible genes, TNNC1—encoding cardiac troponin C (cTnC)—has contributed to a substantial HCM phenotype in mice. In this study we sought to characterize the sexual dimorphism observed within cardiac physiology and transcriptomics of adult male and female mice bearing the HCM-associated cTnC-A8V point mutation. The HCM mice showed a significant decrease in stroke volume, left ventricular diameter, volume, and relative wall thickness. Importantly, isovolumetric contraction time was significantly higher for female HCM mice. RNA sequencing revealed several altered canonical pathways within the HCM mice vs WT groups including an increase in EIF2 signaling, ILK signaling, actin nucleation by ARP-WASP complex, regulation of actin-based motility by Rho, VDR/RXR activation, and glutathione redox reactions pathways. In contrast, Valine Degradation, TCA Cycle II, Methionine Degradation, and Inositol Phosphate Compound pathways were notably down regulated in HCM mice. HCM male vs. female mice followed similar trends of the canonical pathways altered between the HCM and WT. Interestingly, seven of the genes that were differentially expressed in both the WT and HCM male vs female comparisons changed directions in fold change between the sexes. These data suggest a sexually-dimorphic HCM phenotype and identify several key pathways and genes that could be critical to sex differences seen in disease manifestation.

Project description:Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, characterized by cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, cardiomyocyte disarray and fibrosis, which has a prevalence of ~1:200-500 and predisposes individuals to sudden death and heart failure. The mechanisms through which diverse HCM-causing mutations cause cardiac dysfunction remain mostly unknown and their identification may reveal new therapeutic avenues. MicroRNAs have emerged as critical regulators of gene expression and disease phenotype in various pathologies. We explored whether miRNAs could play a role in HCM pathogenesis and offer potential therapeutic targets. Methods and Results: Using high-throughput miRNA expression profiling and qPCR analysis in two distinct mouse models of HCM, we found that miR-199a-3p expression levels are upregulated in mutant mice compared to age- and treatment-matched wild-type mice. We also found that miR-199a-3p expression is enriched in cardiac non-myocytes compared to cardiomyocytes. When we expressed miR-199a-3p mimic in cultured primary cardiac non-myocytes and analyzed the conditioned media by proteomics, we found that several ECM proteins (e.g., TSP2, FBLN3, COL11A1, LYOX) were differentially expressed. We confirmed our proteomics findings by qPCR analysis of selected mRNAs and demonstrated that miR-199a-3p mimic expression in cardiac non-myocytes drives upregulation of ECM genes including Tsp2, Fbln3, Pcoc1, Col1a1 and Col3a1. To examine the role of miR-199a-3p in vivo, we inhibited its function using lock-nucleic acid (LNA)-based inhibitors (antimiR-199a-3p) in an HCM mouse model. Our results revealed that progression of cardiac fibrosis is attenuated when miR-199a-3p function is inhibited in mild-to-moderate HCM. Finally, guided by computational target prediction algorithms, we identified mRNAs Cd151 and Itga3 as direct targets of miR-199a-3p and have shown that miR-199a-3p mimic expression negatively regulates AKT activation in cardiac non-myocytes. Conclusions: Altogether, our results suggest that miR-199a-3p may contribute to cardiac fibrosis in HCM through its actions in cardiac non-myocytes. Thus, inhibition of miR-199a-3p in mild-to-moderate HCM may offer therapeutic benefit in combination with complementary approaches that target the primary defect in cardiac myocytes.

Project description:Aims: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) caused by autosomal-dominant mutations in genes coding for structural sarcomeric proteins, is the most common inherited heart disease. HCM is associated with progressive myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, ventricular dysfunction, and arrhythmias. Hypoxia together with hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1a (HIF1A) is the central master regulators of cellular hypoxia response and associated with HCM. Yet their exact role remains to be elucidated. Therefore, the effect of a cardiomyocyte-specific Hif-1a knockout (cHif1aKO) was studied in an established α-MHC719/+ HCM mouse model that exhibits the classical features of human HCM. Results: HIF-1α protein and HIF downstream targets were upregulated in left ventricular tissue of α-MHC719/+ mice. Cardiomyocyte-specific abolishment of Hif-1a did not cause cardiac abnormalities in wild type (WT) mice and resulted in amelioration of disease phenotype in α-MHC719/+ mice, as evidenced by decreased left ventricular wall thickness, reduced myocardial fibrosis, reduced disordered SRX/DRX state and diminished ROS production. In addition, cHif1aKO induced normalization of pro-hypertrophic and pro-fibrotic left ventricular remodeling signaling evidenced on whole transcriptome and proteomics analysis in α-MHC719/+ mice. Proteomics of serum samples from patients with early onset HCM compared to age-and gender-matched healthy controls revealed significant upregulation of HIF targets IGF2, LTBP1, RECK and downregulation of WDR1. Innovation and Conclusion: Overall, these results demonstrate for the first time that HIF signaling is involved in mouse and human HCM pathogenesis. Cardiomyocyte-specific knockout of Hif-1a attenuates disease phenotype in the HCM α-MHC719/+ mouse model. Targeting HIF-1α might serve as a therapeutic option to mitigate HCM disease progression.
