YAP Induces a Pro-Renewal Metabolic State in Cardiomyocytes: Cardiomyocyte-enriched Datasets

ABSTRACT: Cardiomyocyte (CM) maturation is characterized by a change in energy metabolism from glucose to fatty acid catabolism, which poses a barrier to CM proliferation and cardiac regenerative repair. YAP, a transcriptional cofactor that is regulated by the Hippo signaling pathway, induces cardiac regenerative repair. We investigated YAP function in postnatal metabolic maturation and remodeling and found that YAP inhibits fatty acid catabolism and shifts fatty acid catabolism to anabolism with phospholipid biosynthesis. Moreover, YAP induced metabolic remodeling enhances CM carbohydrate utilization. Functional experiments using maternal dietary fat challenge, which stimulates fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and induces CM maturation, counteracts YAP-induced metabolic remodeling. Mechanistically, we discover that YAP inhibits the MEF2A directed maturation program leading to a neonatal-like CM metabolic state. We provide a transcriptional framework by which YAP induces neonatal CM metabolic remodeling to reverse CM metabolic maturation, thereby promoting heart regeneration.

Project description:The heart undergoes significant structural, metabolic, gene expression and functional alterations during the perinatal to postnatal transition. While recent studies have identified multiple epigenetic and transcriptional regulators of cardiac maturation, post-transcriptional mechanisms regulating this process remain poorly understood. Neddylation is a post-translational modification that conjugates a small ubiquitin-like protein, NEDD8, to protein substrates via an E1-E2-E3 enzymatic cascade. The goal of this study was to define the role of neddylation in perinatal cardiac development and cardiac maturation. Neddylation was inhibited in adult mouse hearts by cardiac-specific deletion of NAE1 gene, a regulatory subunit of NEDD8 E1 enzyme, or in neonatal cardiomyocytes (CMs) with a pharmacological neddylation inhibitor, MLN4924. The impact on cardiac transcriptome, metabolism, maturation and function was assessed. Mosaic deletion of NAE1 in ~40% neonatal CMs disrupted aspects of maturation, including transverse-tubule formation, cellular hypertrophy and fetal/adult isoform switching, whereas deletion of NAE1 in over 80% CMs led to rapid development of cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Transcriptome analysis demonstrated an association of metabolic derangement with immature cardiomyocyte signature. Biochemical, ultrastructural and metabolomics analyses confirmed downregulation of fatty acid and oxidative phosphorylation genes, deficits in fatty acid utilization, mitochondrial dysfunction, and significantly altered metabolic profiles in NAE1-deficient hearts or MLN4924-treated neonatal CMs. Mechanistically, we found that HIF1α, a transcription factor known to promote glycolysis and suppress oxidative metabolism, is a putative NEDD8 target. Inhibition of neddylation resulted in HIF1α accumulation and activation, which contributed to diminished fatty acid utilization. Taken together, we conclude that neddylation plays a crucial role in CM maturation and postnatal cardiac development through sustaining the glycolytic to oxidative metabolic switch in perinatal hearts.
