Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of the developing zebrafish heart.

ABSTRACT: Cardiac development is a complex process where bilateral precursors undergo migration, proliferation, and differentiation to form a multi-chambered organ that sustains life. While scRNA-seq technology has advanced significantly, a comprehensive analysis of vertebrate heart development from early to late developmental stages is still lacking. We profiled over 34,000 cells from resected zebrafish hearts spanning 10 developmental stages from 25 hours to 60 days post-fertilization. We identified and sub-clustered all known cardiac cell types, revealing distinct proliferation dynamics. We also analysed the cardiac interactome, focusing on the ligand-receptor interactions between myocardial and endocardial cells. By investigating later stages, we discovered novel marker genes, which appears to be enriched in trabecular cardiomyocytes. This zebrafish heart atlas enhances our understanding of vertebrate heart development and represents a valuable resource for future studies.

Comparison of the expression profiles of kdrl:mCherry-positive cells in injured versus uninjured zebrafish cardiac ventricle and analysis of the expression prolife of postnb:citrin-positive cells upon injury compared to the rest of cardiac cells.

Project description:Contrary to mammals, zebrafish regenerate their heart upon cryoinjury of the cardiac ventricular apex. Regeneration is preceed by a fibrotic response. To understand the contribution of different cell sources to zebrafish cardiac fibrosis we performed an RNASeq including endocardial kdrl:mCherry cells from an uninjured heart, and activated endocardial kdrl:mCherry cells, postnb:citrine fibroblasts and the rest of the cells at 7 days post injury.

Comparative analysis of the cardiac structure and transcriptome of scallop and snail, perspectives to heart evolution

Project description:As a vital organ to pump blood in the circulatory system, the heart has undergone gradual refinement in its structure and functional efficiency along animal evolution. The occurrence of cardiac chambers, the atrium and the ventricle, is an important event during heart evolution.The two-chambered heart, consisting of a single atrium and a single ventricle, first appeared among mollusks, prior to the evolution of multi-chambered hearts in higher vertebrates. The molecular bases driving the evolution of cardiac chambers, however, are largely unknown. In this study, we studied two common mollusks, the giant African snail (Lissachatina fulica) and scallops (Mizuhopecten yessoensis), to explore the gene profiles of atrium vs. ventricle in mollusks. By examining their heart structures, we found that the snail heart possesses a more compact muscle layer than the scallop heart. Then, RNA sequencing and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis of the atrium and ventricle revealed that these two chambers are distinct in gene expression preference and functional features. Moreover, by comparing with the zebrafish heart, a typical two-chambered heart in vertebrates, mollusk ventricles share similar gene function enrichments with the zebrafish ventricle, but their atria exhibit obvious variation in functional clusters from the zebrafish atrium. Interestingly, we also found that the scallop hearts contain a high amount of collagens, which could be beneficial for heart repair after damage. Together, our work presented novel gene profiling data in the mollusk atria and ventricles, thereby providing new insights into the evolution of cardiac chambers.

Spinster homolog 1 (spns1)-dependent endocardial autophagy-lysosomal pathway drives valve morphogenesis through the control of Notch1 signaling.

Project description:Autophagy-lysosomal degradation is an evolutionarily conserved process key to cellular homeostasis, differentiation, and stress survival, which is particularly important to the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system. What is more, both experimental and clinical observations indicate that autophagy-lysosomal degradation affects correct cardiac morphogenesis, and in particular valve development. However, it is still unclear which cells upregulate autophagy-lysosomal degradation and for which specific cellular processes it is required. Here, we introduce novel zebrafish transgenic models to visualize autophagosomes and lysosomes in vivo and to follow their temporal and cellular localization in the larval heart. This allowed us to determine the kinetics of autophagosome and lysosome vesicle formation and to observe significant accumulation of lysosomal vesicles during the development of the atrioventricular and bulboventricular valves. We then addressed the functional role of lysosomal degradation in cardiovascular development using a spns1 mutant as a zebrafish model of lysosomal impairment. We found that spns1 mutants displayed morphologically and functionally abnormal heart development, including abnormal endocardial organization, impaired cardiac valve formation and high incidence of retrograde blood flow. Single-nuclear transcriptome analysis revealed endocardial-specific differences in the expression of lysosome-related genes and alterations of notch1 signaling in the mutant larval heart. Further, endocardial-specific overexpression of spns1 and notch1 rescued features of valve formation and function as well as overall cardiac morphogenesis. Altogether, our study provides an improved description of the autophagy and lysosomal events that take place during zebrafish heart development and reveals a cell-autonomous role of lysosomal processing during cardiac valve formation upstream of notch1 signaling.

Increased Hemodynamic Load in Early Embryonic Stages Alters Endocardial to Mesenchymal Transition

Project description:Normal blood flow is essential for proper heart formation during embryonic development, as abnormal hemodynamic load (blood pressure and shear stress) results in cardiac defects seen in congenital heart disease. However, the progressive detrimental remodeling processes that relate altered blood flow to cardiac defects remain unclear. Outflow tract banding was used to increase hemodynamic load in the chicken embryo heart between Hamburger and Hamilton stages 18 and 24. Increased hemodynamic load induced increased cell density in outflow tract cushions, fewer cells along the endocardial lining, endocardium junction disruption, and altered periostin expression as measured by confocal microscopy analysis. Proteomic mass-spectrometry analysis quantified altered protein composition after banding.

Myocardial Differentiation is Dependent upon Endocardial Signalling During Early Cardiogenesis in vitro

Project description:The endocardium interacts with the myocardium to promote proliferation and morphogenesis during the later stages of heart development. However, the role of the endocardium in early cardiac ontogeny remains under-explored. Given the shared origin, subsequent juxtaposition, and essential cell-cell interactions of endocardial and myocardial cells throughout heart development, we hypothesized that paracrine signaling from the endocardium to the myocardium is critical for initiating early differentiation of myocardial cells. To test this, we generated an in vitro, endocardial-specific ablation model using the diphtheria toxin receptor under the regulatory elements of the NFATc1 genomic locus (NFATc1-DTR) Early treatment of NFATc1-DTR embryoid bodies with diphtheria toxin efficiently ablated endocardial cells, which significantly attenuated the percent of beating EBs in culture and expression of early and late myocardial differentiation markers. The addition of Bmp2 during endocardial ablation partially rescued myocyte differentiation, maturation and function. Therefore, we conclude that early stages of myocardial differentiation rely on endocardial paracrine signaling mediated in part by Bmp2. Our findings provide novel insight into early endocardial-myocardial interactions that can be explored to promote early myocardial development and growth.

RNA-sequencing project for zebrafish embryo and larva development

Project description:Zebrafish is an important model system for the study of vertebrate embryonic development and adaptive immunese response. Recent years have seen great advancement in the understanding of the regulatory mechanisms during zebrafish embryogenesis and immune processes, yet large gaps still remain in the functional pathways critical for each developmental stage, especially for the late embryonic development. We sequenced the polyA-extracted mRNA from 9 stages covering 7 major developmental periods of zebrafish. Whole genome gene expression pattern were analyzed to reveal unknown pathways or factors with implicated roles during each stage of vertebrate development.

Identification of proteins interacting with GPAT4 in HUVECs cell line.

Project description:The endocardium plays a pivotal role in governing myocardial development, and understanding the intrinsic regulatory insights will help apprehend pathological cardiomyopathy. Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 4 (GPAT4) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane anchored protein. While the role of GPAT4 in glycerophospholipid biosynthesis is well established, its function in the ER is less explored. Here, we generate Gpat4 global and tissue-specific knockout mice and identify the essential role of GPAT4 in endocardial development. Deficiency of GPAT4 provokes endocardial ER stress response and enhances ER-mitochondrial (ER-mito) communications, leading to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) escape. As a result, the cGAS-STING pathway triggers to stimulate type-I-interferon response, which affects heart development. Finally, abolishment of the cGAS-STING-type-I-interferon pathway rescues the heart defects of Gpat4 deletion mice. These findings uncover the pivotal role of GPAT4 in the maintenance of ER homeostasis during endocardial and heart development. Meanwhile, this study highlights the importance of the cGAS-STING pathway in cardiac organogenesis.

Reactivation of an Embryonic Cardiac Neural Crest Transcriptional Subcircuit During Zebrafish Heart Regeneration [bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:During vertebrate development, the heart primarily arises from mesoderm, with crucial contributions from cardiac neural crest cells that migrate to the heart and form a variety of cardiovascular derivatives. Here, by integrating bulk and single cell RNAseq with ATAC-seq, we identify a gene regulatory subcircuit specific to migratory cardiac crest cells composed of key transcription factors egr1, sox9a, tfap2a and ets1. Notably, we show that cells expressing the canonical neural crest gene sox10 are essential for proper cardiac regeneration in adult zebrafish. Furthermore, expression of all transcription factors from the migratory cardiac crest gene subcircuit are reactivated after injury at the wound edge. Together, our results uncover a developmental gene regulatory network that is important for cardiac neural crest fate determination, with key factors re-activated during regeneration.
