Absence of a prolonged macrophage and B cell response inhibits heart regeneration in the Mexican cavefish

ABSTRACT: A balanced immune response after cardiac injury is crucial to successful heart regeneration, but knowledge of what distinguishes a regenerative from a scarring response is still limited. The Mexican cavefish provides a unique comparative model to study heart regeneration and scarring within a single species, with Surface fish capable of heart regeneration and their cave-dwelling Pachón counterparts lacking this ability, similar to the human heart. Using single-cell transcriptomics and immune perturbations, we find significant differences in the immune response between the two populations. Unlike the transient response in the scarring Pachón, the regenerative Surface fish heart generates an unexpected prolonged innate and adaptive immune response, with unique functions at late stages of regeneration. Inhibiting the overall prolonged immune response impairs regeneration and cardiomyocyte proliferation. Further characterisation of specific cell types shows that late present macrophages are phagocytic, and their depletion disrupts regeneration but not cardiomyocyte proliferation, while inhibiting B cells impairs regeneration by reducing cardiomyocyte proliferation. This B cell response is conserved in zebrafish. Our findings reveal critical immune mechanisms distinguishing regenerative and non-regenerative responses, offering insights for potential therapeutic strategies to enhance heart repair.

Comparison of gene expression in cardiac macrophages from P1 or P14 mice 3 days following MI

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to cardiomyocyte death, which triggers an immune response that clears debris and restores tissue integrity. In the adult heart, the immune system facilitates scar formation, which repairs the damaged myocardium but compromises cardiac function. In neonatal mice, the heart can regenerate fully without scarring following MI; however, this regenerative capacity is lost by P7. The signals that govern neonatal heart regeneration are unknown. By comparing the immune response to MI in mice at P1 and P14, we identified differences in the magnitude and kinetics of monocyte and macrophage responses to injury. Using a cell-depletion model, we determined that heart regeneration and neoangiogenesis following MI depends on neonatal macrophages. Neonates depleted of macrophages were unable to regenerate myocardia and formed fibrotic scars, resulting in reduced cardiac function and angiogenesis. Immunophenotyping and gene expression profiling of cardiac macrophages from regenerating and nonregenerating hearts indicated that regenerative macrophages have a unique polarization phenotype and secrete numerous soluble factors that may facilitate the formation of new myocardium. Our findings suggest that macrophages provide necessary signals to drive angiogenesis and regeneration of the neonatal mouse heart. Modulating inflammation may provide a key therapeutic strategy to support heart regeneration. Total RNA was isolated from CD11b+Ly6G- cells sorted from hearts 3 days following ligation of LAD. 6 samples total: Triplicates of cells from P1 mice and from P14 mice

OXPHOS driven by glycolysis through the malate aspartate shuttle is required for cardiomyocyte re-differentiation and long-term fish heart regeneration [Astyanax_mexicanus_RNAseq]

Project description:In contrast to humans after myocardial infarction, fish can fully regenerate their hearts. However, not all fish are equally able to regenerate, allowing comparative inter- and intra-species analysis to identify novel mechanisms controlling successful heart regeneration. Here, we report a differential regenerative response to cardiac cryo-injury between seven different wild-type zebrafish strains. Correlating this data to single cell and bulk RNAseq data, we identify oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) as a positive regulator of long-term regenerative outcome. OXPHOS levels, driven by Glycolysis through the Malate aspartate shuttle (MAS), increase as soon as cardiomyocyte proliferation decreases, and this increase is required for cardiomyocyte re-differentiation and successful long-term regeneration. We confirm these findings in Astyanax mexicanus and link it to a dynamic temporal sarcomere gene expression programme during cardiomyocyte re-differentiation. These findings challenge the current stance that OXPHOS inhibits regeneration and provide new targetable pathways to enhance heart repair in humans after myocardial infarction.

MRG15 orchestrates glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway to facilitate heart regeneration following myocardial infarction

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming is crucial for adult heart regeneration after myocardial infarction (MI). Here, we identify the MORF4-related gene on chromosome 15 (MRG15) as a key orchestrator of cardiomyocyte metabolism to drive cardiomyocyte proliferation. MRG15 expression is upregulated in both hypoxic cardiomyocytes and infarcted human and mouse hearts. Cardiomyocyte-specific Mrg15 overexpression enhances glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), promoting cardiomyocyte proliferation and cardiac function restoration after MI, whereas Mrg15 deficiency impairs heart regeneration. Mechanistically, cytoplasmic MRG15 interacts with hexokinase 2 (HK2) and enhances its protein stability by preventing its chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA)-dependent degradation, which requires MRG15 residues 141–145. MRG15-mediated stabilization of HK2 orchestrates glycolysis and PPP, thereby facilitating cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration in adult mice post-MI. Our results underscore the importance of MRG15-mediated metabolic reprogramming in heart regeneration. By fine-tuning the activity of glycolysis and PPP, MRG15 represents a compelling therapeutic target for regenerative interventions following ischemic injury.

Amino acid priming of mTOR is essential for heart regeneration

Project description:For a short period of time in mammalian neonates, the mammalian heart can regenerate via cardiomyocyte proliferation. This regenerative capacity is largely absent in adults. In other organisms, including zebrafish, damaged hearts can regenerate throughout their lifespans. Many studies have been performed to understand the mechanisms of cardiomyocyte de-differentiation and proliferation during heart regeneration however, the underlying reason why adult zebrafish and young mammalian cardiomyocytes are primed to enter cell cycle have not been identified. Here we show the primed state of a pro-regenerative cardiomyocyte is dictated by its amino acid profile and metabolic state. Adult zebrafish cardiomyocyte regeneration is a result of amino acid-primed mTOR activation. Zebrafish and neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes display elevated glutamine levels, predisposing them to amino acid-driven activation of mTORC1. Injury initiates Wnt/β-catenin signalling that instigates primed mTORC1 activation, Lin28 expression and metabolic remodeling necessary for zebrafish cardiomyocyte regeneration. These studies reveal a unique mTORC1 primed state in zebrafish and mammalian regeneration competent cardiomyocytes.

Functionally conserved non-coding regulators of cardiomyocyte proliferation and regeneration in mouse and human

Project description:The adult mammalian heart has little regenerative capacity after myocardial infarction (MI) while neonatal mouse heart regenerates without scarring or dysfunction. However, the underlying pathways are poorly defined. We sought to derive insights into the pathways regulating neonatal development of the mouse heart and cardiac regeneration post-MI. Total RNA-seq of mouse heart through the first 10 days of postnatal life (referred to as P3, P5, P10) revealed a previously unobserved transition in microRNA expression between P3 and P5 associated specifically with altered expression of protein-coding genes on the focal adhesion pathway and cessation of cardiomyocyte cell division. We found profound changes in the coding and non-coding transcriptome after neonatal MI, with evidence of essentially complete healing by P10. Over two thirds of each of the mRNAs, lncRNAs and microRNAs that were differentially expressed in the post-MI heart were differentially expressed during normal postnatal development, suggesting a common regulatory pathway for normal cardiac development and post-MI cardiac regeneration. We selected exemplars of miRNAs implicated in our data set as regulators of cardiomyocyte proliferation. Several of these showed evidence of a functional influence on mouse cardiomyocyte cell division. In addition, a subset of these microRNAs, miR-144-3p, miR-195a-5p, miR-451a and miR-6240 showed evidence of functional conservation in human cardiomyocytes. The sets of mRNAs, miRNAs and lncRNAs that we report here merit further investigation as gatekeepers of cell division in the postnatal heart and as targets for extension of the period of cardiac regeneration beyond the neonatal period.

Transcriptome profiling of neonatal heart regeneration

Project description:Background: The adult mammalian heart has limited capacity for regeneration following injury, whereas the neonatal heart can readily regenerate within a short period after birth. To uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying neonatal heart regeneration, we compared the transcriptomes and epigenomes of regenerative and non-regenerative mouse hearts over a 7-day time period following myocardial infarction. Methods: RNA-Seq, H3K27ac ChIP-Seq and H3K27me3 ChIP-Seq were performed on ventricular samples from regenerative P1 or non-regenerative P8 mouse hearts at +1.5d, +3d and +7d after MI or Sham surgery to assemble the transcriptome, active chromatin and repressed chromatin landscapes during neonatal heart regeneration. Dynamic enhancer landscapes from mouse hearts during cardiac development were analyzed using data from ENCODE. Effects on cardiomyocyte proliferation and cardiac function from selected factors identified in this study were tested using BrdU/EdU pulse-labeling or mouse models coupled with immunohistochemistry and echocardiography. Results: By integrating gene expression profiles with histone marks associated with active or repressed chromatin, we identified transcriptional programs underlying neonatal heart regeneration and the blockade to regeneration in later life. Our results reveal a unique immune response in regenerative hearts and an embryonic cardiogenic gene program that remains active during neonatal heart regeneration. Among the unique immune factors and embryonic genes associated with cardiac regeneration, we identified Ccl24, which encodes a cytokine, and Igf2bp3, which encodes an RNA-binding protein, as previously unrecognized regulators of cardiomyocyte proliferation. Conclusions: Our data provide insights into the molecular basis of neonatal heart regeneration and identify genes that might be modulated to promote heart regeneration.
