Identifying downstream targets of ankrd1a in heart regeneration after cryoinjury in adult zebrafish

ABSTRACT: In contrast to humans, zebrafish have a remarkable ability to regenerate injured heart through a complex and highly orchestrated process involving all cardiac structures. During regeneration, the major source of new myocardial cells are resident cardiomyocytes, which dedifferentiate and reinitiate proliferation, invading the area of injury to replace the lost myocardium. The response of the myocardium and the coronary vasculature is preceded by activation of epi- and endocardium, which form active scaffolds to provide mechanical and paracrine support to guide regeneration.Zebrafish ankrd1a was found activated in differentiated and proliferating cardiomyocytes restricted to the border zone, as well as in protrusions of cardiomyocytes that invade the scar. The TgBAC(ankrd1a:EGFP) transgene was not detected in epicardial or endocardial cells of regenerating zebrafish heart. Transcriptomic analysis of cryoinjured ventricles showed that lack of functional ankrd1a at 7 dpci leads to change in expression of genes involved in antigen processing and presentation of peptide or polysaccharide antigen via MHC class II, cellular extravasation, cell-cell adhesion and heart valve development.

Single-cell analysis uncovers that metabolic reprogramming is essential for cardiomyocyte proliferation in the regenerating heart.

Project description:While the heart regenerates poorly in mammals, efficient heart regeneration occurs in certain amphibian and fish species. Zebrafish has been used extensively to study heart regeneration, resulting in a model in which preexisting cardiomyocytes dedifferentiate and reinitiate proliferation to replace the lost myocardium. However, there is limited knowledge about the cellular processes that occur in this rare population of proliferating cardiomyocytes during heart regeneration. To identify such processes, we generated a transgenic line based on nppa expression that marks proliferating cardiomyocytes located at the wound border zone. Next we have used a single-cell RNA-sequencing approach in the regenerating adult zebrafish heart and we uncovered that proliferating border zone cardiomyocytes have very distinct transcriptomes compared to the non-proliferating remote cardiomyocytes and that they resemble embryonic cardiomyocytes. Moreover, these cells have reduced expression of mitochondrial genes and reduced mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation activity, while glycolysis gene expression and glucose uptake are increased, indicative for metabolic reprogramming. Mechanistically, this metabolic reprogramming is induced by Nrg1/Erbb2 signaling and this mechanism is conserved in murine hearts. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of glycolysis impairs cardiomyocyte proliferation of both zebrafish and murine cardiomyocytes. Together these results reveal a conserved mechanism in which cardiomyocytes undergo metabolic reprogramming, which is essential for cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration and could ultimately help to develop novel methods to promote mammalian heart repair.

Pre-existent adult sox10+ cardiomyocytes contribute to myocardial regeneration in the zebrafish

Project description:During heart regeneration in the zebrafish, fibrotic tissue is replaced by newly formed cardiomyocytes derived from pre-existing ones. It is unclear whether the heart is comprised of several cardiomyocyte populations bearing different capacity to replace lost myocardium. Here, using sox10 genetic fate mapping, we identified a subset of pre-existent cardiomyocytes in the adult zebrafish heart with a distinct gene expression profile that expanded massively after cryoinjury. Genetic ablation of sox10+ cardiomyocytes severely impaired cardiac regeneration revealing that they play a crucial role for heart regeneration.

The ion channel Trpc6a regulates the cardiomyocyte regenerative response to mechanical stretch

Project description:Myocardial damage caused for example by cardiac ischemia leads to ventricular volume overload resulting in increased stretch of the remaining myocardium. In adult mammals, these changes trigger an adaptive cardiomyocyte hypertrophic response which, if the damage is extensive, will ultimately lead to pathological hypertrophy and heart failure. Conversely, in response to extensive myocardial damage, cardiomyocytes in the adult zebrafish heart and neonatal mice proliferate and completely regenerate the damaged myocardium. We therefore hypothesized that in adult zebrafish, changes in mechanical loading due to myocardial damage may act as a trigger to induce cardiac regeneration. Based, on this notion we sought to identify mechanosensors which could be involved in detecting changes in mechanical loading and triggering regeneration. Here we show using a combination of knockout animals, RNAseq and in vitro assays that the mechanosensitive ion channel Trpc6a is required by cardiomyocytes for successful cardiac regeneration in adult zebrafish. Furthermore, using a cyclic cell stretch assay, we have determined that Trpc6a induces the expression of components of the AP1 transcription complex in response to mechanical stretch. Our data highlights how changes in mechanical forces due to myocardial damage can be detected by mechanosensors which in turn can trigger cardiac regeneration.

Amino acid primed mTOR activity is essential for heart regeneration [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Heart disease is the leading cause of death as there is no current method to repair damaged myocardium due to the limited proliferative capacity of adult cardiomyocytes. Curiously, mouse neonates and zebrafish, larvae or adult, are able to regenerate their hearts via cardiomyocyte de-differentiation and proliferation. However, a molecular mechanism of why these cardiomyocytes can re-enter cell cycle is poorly understood. Here, we identify a unique metabolic state that primes adult zebrafish and neonatal mouse ventricular cardiomyocytes to proliferate. Zebrafish and neonatal mouse hearts display elevated glutamine levels, predisposing them to amino acid-driven activation of TOR. We show that this TOR activation is required for zebrafish cardiomyocyte regeneration in vivo. After injury we observe pS6 in both the epicardium and ventricular cardiomyocytes suggesting these are amino acid primed cells necessary for regeneration. Through single cell and system-wide RNA-sequencing, LQC proteomics and microscopy we identify dramatic metabolic and mitochondrial changes during the first week of regeneration. These data suggest that regeneration of zebrafish myocardium is driven by metabolic remodeling and reveals a unique metabolic regulator, TOR-primed state, in which zebrafish and mammalian cardiomyocytes are regeneration competent.

Identification of Tcf21 downstream genes in the epicardial cells and cardiomyocytes by transcriptomic analysis

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.

Downregulation of WT1 transcription factor gene expression is required to promote myocardial fate [RNA-seq]

Project description:During cardiac development, cells from the precardiac mesoderm fuse to form the primordial heart tube, which then grows by addition of further progenitors to the venous and arterial poles. In the zebrafish, wilms tumor 1 transcription factor a (wt1a) and b (wt1b) are expressed in the pericardial mesoderm at the venous pole of the forming heart tube. The pericardial mesoderm forms a single layered mesothelial sheet that contributes to further the growth of the myocardium, and forms the proepicardium. Proepicardial cells are subsequently transferred to the myocardial surface and give rise to the epicardium, the outer layer covering the myocardium in the adult heart. wt1a/b expression is downregulated during the transition from pericardium to myocardium, but remains high in proepicardial cells. Here we show that sustained wt1 expression impaired cardiomyocyte maturation including sarcomere assembly, ultimately affecting heart morphology and cardiac function. ATAC-seq data analysis of cardiomyocytes overexpressing wt1 revealed that chromatin regions associated with myocardial differentiation genes remain closed upon wt1b overexpression in cardiomyocytes, suggesting that wt1 represses a myocardial differentiation program. Indeed, a subset of wt1a/b-expressing cardiomyocytes changed their cell adhesion properties, delaminated from the myocardial epithelium, and upregulated the expression of epicardial genes, as confirmed by in vivo imaging. Thus, we conclude that wt1 acts as a break for cardiomyocyte differentiation by repressing chromatin opening at specific genomic loci and that sustained ectopic expression of wt1 in cardiomyocytes can lead to their transformation into epicardial cells.
