Transcriptomic characterization of cardiac LECs and macrophages isolated from ACKR3∆Lyve1 and wild type mice with or without LAD ligation

ABSTRACT: In our study, we detected activation of ACKR3 signaling in cardiac lymphatics adjacent to the site of ischemic injury of left anterior descending artery (LAD) ligation. Furthermore, we found that Ackr3∆Lyve1 mice exhibited better survival and were protected from the formation of acute tissue edema after ischemic cardiac injury, in addition to a denser cardiac lymphatic network after LAD ligation, especially in the injured tissues. To characterize the transcriptomic changes in cardiac lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) and macrophage populations in the heart upon ischemic cardiac injury in Ackr3∆Lyve1 mice, CD68+ macrophages and CD68-/LYVE1+ LECs were immunoprecipitated from the ventricles of Ackr3fl/fl and Ackr3∆Lyve1 mice at baseline or 7 days post LAD ligation. We then performed microarray on the collected lymphatic and macrophage RNA samples.

Project description:The cellular and molecular aspects of post-infarct left-ventricle remodeling in presence of type-2 diabetes is poorly understood. In this study we have addressed the cellular and molecular aspects underlying post-infarct left-ventricle remodeling in type 2 diabetic (T2DM) mice using genome-wide mRNA-sequencing. Myocardial infarction was induced by ligating left-anterior descending artery (LAD) in 12-14 month old T2DM and control mice. Cardiac MRI was performed at baseline, day 7 and 14 post-LAD ligation. Blood and tissue samples were collected for biochemical and immunohistochemical, molecular biology analysis after sacrification at day 7 and 14. Genome-wide mRNA sequencing analysis was performed from left-ventricular tissues collected at day 7 post-LAD ligation. Mitochondrial dynamics, Leukocyte recruitment and Collagen I deposition were analyzed using electron microscopy, fluorescent assisted cell sorting (FACS) and fourier-transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy from left ventricular tissues collected at day 7 and 14 post-LAD ligation. Cardiac ejection fraction (EF) and stroke volume (SV) were significantly reduced along with increased mortality in T2DM compared to controls. Ingenuity pathway analyses of differentially expressed genes were enriched for mitochondrial dysfunction, TCA cycle and fatty acid oxidation. Additionally, upstream transcription factor analysis showed inhibition of PGC1a, PGC1b, ESRRA, ESRRB and TFAM in infarcted myocardium of T2DM mice. Electron microscopy analysis showed an altered mitochondrial dynamics and cardiomyocyte death in ischemic myocardium of T2DM mice. Leukocytes exhibited an altered phenotype in ischemic myocardium of T2DM mice. Neovascularization was impaired and collagen deposition was increased in ischemic myocardium of T2DM mice. We conclude that an altered mitochondrial dynamics, cell death modalities, leukocyte phenotype, neovascularization responses and fibrosis may contribute to an increased mortality after myocardial infarction in T2DM. Modulation of mitochondrial dynamics and cardiomyocyte cell death modalities may offer a novel therapeutic target.

Project description:In adult mice, “heart attack” or myocardial infarction (MI) activates the cardiac lymphatics, which undergo sprouting angiogenesis (lymphangiogenesis) and function to drain interstitial fluid and traffic macrophages to mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs). This prevents oedema and reduces inflammatory/fibrotic immune cell content to improve cardiac function. Given the importance of the adult cardiac lymphatics in macrophage clearance after injury, we investigated their role across the neonatal “regenerative window”. At post-natal day 1 (P1) neonatal mice fully regenerate their heart following MI, in a pro-regenerative macrophage-dependent manner, whereas equivalent injury at post-natal day 7 (P7) leads to scarring driven by pro-fibrotic macrophages. We hypothesised that lymphatics respond and function differently during this “window” to clear macrophage-specific subtypes, depending upon their requirement for regeneration versus fibrotic repair. Normal lymphatic growth and sprouting was evident in intact neonatal hearts until P16, with strain-dependent developmental differences. The response to injury revealed limited lymphangiogenesis (lymphatic vessel growth and sprouting) and minimal clearance of macrophages from P1 compared to P7 infarcted hearts, as determined by adoptive transfer, and monitoring of cleared macrophages to MLNs. This is coincident with maturation of lymphatic endothelial cell junctions across the neonatal period via transition from “zipper” (impermeable) to “button” (permeable) -type junctions and altered signalling between lymphatic endothelial cells and macrophages, including differential expression of the lymphangiocrine factor Reelin (RELN). Finally, in mice lacking the lymphatic endothelial receptor-1 (LYVE-1), that exhibit impaired transmigration of interstitial macrophages to lymphatic vessels, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a surprising impaired functional outcome in P1 mice 28 days post-MI. Given our observations that pro-regenerative macrophages at P1 are not trafficked, this suggested a distinct role for LYVE-1 in tissue-resident macrophages, consistent with its expression pattern in developing and post-natal hearts. Macrophage-specific deletion of Lyve1 during neonatal heart injury revealed impaired heart regeneration, characterised by persistent fibrosis, a reduced neovascular response and reduced function. ScRNA-seq of Lyve1 deficient CD45+ cells revealed a loss of tissue-resident macrophages and an increase in recruited monocytes which is predicted to increase inflammation and fibrosis, worsening the outcome post-MI. Collectively, this study reveals that cardiac lymphatics are developmentally compromised for clearance in early neonates, which enables retention of pro-regenerative tissue-resident macrophages, and that LYVE-1 plays an essential role in maintaining this population to promote heart regeneration and prevent inflammation and fibrotic repair.
