Human iPSC cardiomyocyte patch transplantation modifies extracellular matrix and fibroblast behavior after myocardial infarction

ABSTRACT: Myocardial infarction (MI) followed by chronic heart failure is the main cause of mortality of heart diseases. Although reparative cell transplantation therapies with pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs) represent a promising therapeutic strategy, molecular mechanisms of the therapy remain elusive. Here, we show that transplantation of the hiPSC-derived CM patch onto the damaged heart after MI, increases the ratio of collagen type I against collagen type III to modulate alignment of the collagen fibers at the infarcted zone. As a result, tissue elasticity of the heart is improved and fibrosis at the remote zone is reduced. Mechanistically, we find that hiPSC-derived CM patches secrete TGF-β1, directly inducing collagen type I production in fibroblasts but not collagen type III. Our results suggest the direct effect of the transplanted CM patch on the cardiac fibroblasts to improve elasticity of the damaged heart, resulting in functional recovery after MI.

TGF-β Signalling Drives Chemotaxis of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes in Response to MI Stimulus

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) hold significant promise for cardiac regeneration therapies. However, the efficacy of such treatments depends on the ability of transplanted cells to migrate and integrate into the damaged myocardium, a process that remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the migratory behaviour of hiPSC-CMs using homogenised rat MI tissue to simulate myocardial infarction (MI) in vitro. Transwell migration assays demonstrated a concentration-dependent chemotactic response, with hiPSC-CM migration increasing up to threefold toward MI tissue homogenate. Wound healing assays further confirmed enhanced migration under MI-mimetic conditions. Bulk RNA sequencing revealed activation of the TGF-β signalling pathway as a key regulator of this response. Inhibition of TGF-β signalling, both pharmacologically and through antibody neutralisation, significantly reduced hiPSC-CM migration. These findings uncover a previously underappreciated chemotactic capability of hiPSC-CMs and identify TGF-β signalling as a central mediator, offering new mechanistic insights and potential therapeutic targets to improve the integration and efficacy of hiPSC-CM-based cardiac regeneration strategies.

Healthy human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes exhibit sex dimorphism even without the addition of hormones

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM) are a valuable cell type for studying human cardiac health and disease in vitro. However, it is not known whether hiPSC-CM display sex dimorphism and therefore whether sex should be incorporated as a biological variable in in vitro studies that include this cell type. To date, the vast majority of studies that utilize hiPSC-CM do not include both male and female sex nor stratify results based on sex because it is challenging to amass such a cohort of cells. Here we generated three female and three male hiPSC-lines from adult left ventricular cardiac fibroblasts as a resource for studying sex differences in in vitro cardiac models. We used this resource to generate hiPSC-CM and maintained them in basal media without exogenous hormones. Functional assessment of CM showed enhanced calcium handling in female-derived hiPSC-CM relative to male. Bulk RNA sequencing revealed over 300 differentially expressed genes (DEG) between male and female hiPSC-CM. Gene ontology analysis of DEG showed distinct differences in pathways related to cardiac pathology including cell-cell adhesion, metabolic processes, and response to ischemic stress. Differential expression of the sodium channel auxiliary unit SCN3B was found and validated through patch-clamp measurements of sodium currents showing increased peak amplitude and window current in female hiPSC-CM. These findings highlight the importance of considering sex as a variable when conducting studies to evaluate aspects of human cardiac health and disease related to cardiomyocyte function.

Contractile work contributes to maturation of energy metabolism in hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes

Project description:Energy metabolism is a key aspect of cardiomyocyte biology. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM) are a promising tool for biomedical application, but they are immature and have not undergone metabolic shift related to early postnatal development. Cultivation of hiPSC-CM in 3D engineered heart tissue (EHT) format leads to morphological maturation. This study compared the mitochondrial and metabolic state of hiPSC-CM in standard 2D culture and the EHT format and determined the influence of contractile activity. HiPSC-CM in EHTs showed ~2-fold higher number of mitochondria (electron microscopy), mitochondrial mass (mitotracker), DNA (Mt-ND1, Mt-ND2), and protein abundance (proteome) than in 2D culture. While hiPSC-CM exhibited the principal ability to use glucose, lactate and fatty acids as energy substrates irrespective of culture format, hiPSC-CM in 3D performed more oxidation of glucose, lactate and fatty acid, and less anaerobic glycolysis. The increase in mitochondrial mass and DNA in 3D was diminished by pharmacological inhibition of contractile force, suggesting that contractile work participates in mitochondrial development hiPSC-CM. In conclusion, contractile work in the EHT format contributes to metabolic maturation of hiPSC-CM.

Am80 activates cardiomyocytes cell cycle via retinoic acid receptor for efficient transplantation

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-cardiomyocytes) are promising sources for the regenerative therapy to treat heart failure. To realize this therapy, the engraftment potential of hiPSC-cardiomyocytes following the injection into the host heart should be improved. Here, we established the efficient method to analyze the cell cycle activity of hiPSC-cardiomyocytes using Fluorescence Ubiquitination-based Cell Cycle Indicator (FUCCI) system. High-throughput screening analysis using FUCCI-expressing hiPSC-cardiomyocytes identified a retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonist, Am80, as an effective cell cycle activator in hiPSC-cardiomyocytes. The transplantation of hiPSC-cardiomyocytes treated by Am80 prior to the injection significantly enhanced the engraftment into the damaged mouse heart for 6 months. RNA sequencing analysis in Am80-treated iPSC-cardiomyocytes revealed that both RARA and RARB played important roles in the Am80-mediated cell cycle activation in hiPSC-cardiomyocytes. Collectively, this study highlights the effectiveness of FUCCI system to easily analyze the cell cycle status in hiPSC-cardiomyocytes and the cell cycle activation by Am80 is the possible strategy to increase the graft size following the cell transplantation into the damaged heart.

Cysteine-rich with EGF-like domains 2 (CRELD2) is an endoplasmic reticulum stress-inducible angiogenic growth factor promoting ischemic heart repair

Project description:Tissue repair after myocardial infarction (MI) is guided by incompletely defined autocrine and paracrine-acting proteins. Deciphering these signals and their upstream triggers is essential when considering infarct healing as a therapeutic target. Searching for previously unknown growth factors involved in infarct repair, we performed a bioinformatic secretome analysis in cardiac endothelial cells and identified cysteine-rich with EGF-like domains 2 (CRELD2), an endoplasmic reticulum stress-inducible protein with poorly characterized function. CRELD2 was abundantly expressed and secreted in the heart after MI in mice and patients. Creld2-deficient mice and wild-type mice treated with a CRELD2-neutralizing antibody displayed impaired de novo microvessel formation in the infarct border zone and developed severe postinfarction heart failure. CRELD2 protein therapy, conversely, improved heart function after MI. Exposing human coronary artery endothelial cells to recombinant CRELD2 induced angiogenesis, associated with a distinct phosphoproteome signature. These findings identify CRELD2 as a novel angiogenic growth factor and unravel a link between endoplasmic reticulum stress and ischemic tissue repair.

RNA-seq of cardiac-specific Cdk1 knockout mice at 4 days after experimental myocardial infarction

Project description:Biological Relevance and Intent of the Experiment: The objective of this study is to elucidate the role of Cdk1 in cardiac function, specifically its contribution to cardiomyocyte (CM) proliferation and response to injury. Using a heart-specific Cdk1 knockout mouse model, we investigate the molecular and cellular impact of Cdk1 deficiency in the context of myocardial infarction (MI). Cdk1 is known for its regulatory functions in cell cycle progression, and its absence may significantly affect cardiac repair mechanisms post-MI. This research aims to explore whether the lack of Cdk1 impairs CM regeneration or promotes maladaptive remodeling, leading to compromised cardiac function. Overview of the Experimental Workflow: We performed RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) on heart tissue collected from both wild-type (WT) and cardiac-specific Cdk1 knockout mice subjected to experimental MI. Heart samples were collected 4 days to capture dynamic transcriptional changes associated with Cdk1 loss. Comparative transcriptomic analysis between WT and knockout samples will reveal differentially expressed genes and signaling pathways involved in cardiomyocyte proliferation, apoptosis, and fibrosis. These insights may uncover key pathways driving heart regeneration or degeneration in the absence of Cdk1.

Thyroid Hormone effects on hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM). Identification of target genes and pathways by RNA-Seq analysis

Project description:QT prolongation represents a dangerous and potentially life-threatening electrical event affecting the heart. Thyroid hormones (THs) are critical for cardiac development and heart function. However, little is known about THs influence on ventricular repolarization and controversial effects on QT prolongation are reported. Aim of this study was to characterize the direct effects of THs on the cardiac repolarization of human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM). RNA Seq analysis of hiPSC-CM treated with Thyroid Hormone T3 indicates significant deregulation in genes involved in cardiac pathways, in particular in ion homeostasis.

Serine synthesis pathway regulates cardiac differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) hold significant potential for advancing our understanding of heart development. Differentiating hiPSCs into cardiac cells allows for modeling early cardiac developmental processes and exploring key signaling pathways. However, variations in differentiation efficiency and poor reproducibility of hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) production have remained a challenge. Here, we report a unique metabolic method to promote hiPSC-CM differentiation that involves marked suppression of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation from the mesendoderm to the cardiac mesoderm, which is regulated by PHGDH, a rate-limiting enzyme in the serine synthesis pathway (SSP). Mechanistically, the analysis of scRNA-seq revealed that SSP inhibition promotes CM lineage differentiation by disrupting the cardiopharyngeal mesoderm lineage differentiation. Our findings show that SSP can regulate cardiac differentiation and have implications in elucidating the potential mechanisms of heart development and pathogenesis of heart disease.

Transcriptional co-activators YAP1-TAZ of Hippo signalling in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy

Project description:Aims: Hippo signalling is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that controls organ size by regulating apoptosis, cell proliferation and stem cell self-renewal. Recently, the pathway has been shown to exert powerful growth regulatory activity in cardiomyocytes. However, the functional role of this stress- and cell death-related pathway in the human heart and cardiomyocytes is not known. In this study, we investigated the role of the transcriptional co-activators of Hippo signalling, YAP and TAZ, in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM) in response to cardiotoxic agents and investigated the effects of modulating the pathway on cardiomyocyte function and survival. Methods and Results: RNA sequencing analysis of human heart samples with doxorubicin-induced end-stage heart failure and healthy controls showed YAP and ERBB2 (HER2) as upstream regulators of differentially expressed genes correlated with doxorubicin treatment. Thus, we tested the effects of doxorubicin and/or small molecule inhibitor lapatinib on hiPSC-CM in vitro . Using an automated high contentscreen of 96 clinically relevant chemotherapeutic drugs, we showed that doxorubicin induced the highest activation of YAP/TAZ nuclear translocation in both hiPSC-CM and control MCF7 breast cancer cells. The overexpression of YAP rescued doxorubicin- induced cell loss in hiPSC-CM by inhibiting apoptosis and inducing proliferation. In contrast, silencing of YAP and TAZ by siRNAs resulted in elevated mitochondrial membrane potential loss in response to doxorubicin. Human iPSC-CM calcium transients did not change in response to YAP/TAZ silencing. Conclusions: Our results suggest that Hippo signalling is involved in clinical anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy. Modelling with hiPSC-CM in vitro showed similar responses to doxorubicin as adult cardiomyocytes and revealed a potential cardioprotective effect of YAP in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Spatiotemporal transcriptome analysis reveals critical roles for mechano-sensing genes at the border zone in remodeling after myocardial infarction

Project description:The underlying mechanisms of ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) remain largely unknown. Here, we performed an integrative analysis of spatial transcriptomics and single-nucleus RNA-seq in a murine MI model and found that mechanical stress-response genes are expressed at the border zone and play a critical role in left ventricular remodeling following MI. An integrative analysis of single-nucleus RNA-seq and spatial transcriptome of the heart tissue after MI identified the unique cluster that appeared at the border zone in an early stage, highly expressing mechano-sensing genes such as Csrp3. AAV9-mediated gene silencing and overexpression of Csrp3 demonstrated that upregulation of Csrp3 plays critical roles in preventing cardiac remodeling after MI via regulation of genes associated with mechano-sensing. Overall, our study not only provides an insight into spatiotemporal molecular changes following MI but also highlights that the mechano-sensing genes at the border zone act as adaptive regulators of left ventricular remodeling.
