Mechanical Isolation Establishes and Maintains the Cardiac Pacemaker Cell Phenotype.

ABSTRACT: Electrical impulses generated in the sinoatrial node (SAN) are responsible for the rhythmic beating of the heart. These impulses are produced by specialized heart cells known as cardiac pacemaker cells (CPCs). While the ionic mechanisms controlling CPC function have been studied for over a century, the upstream cellular events that shape and maintain the SAN's unique electrical properties are still not well understood. We have discovered that abnormal activation of the core mechanotransduction pathways within CPCs leads to significant electrical dysfunction in the SAN. Mechanistically, our data shows that entire systems of ion channels essential for electrical oscillation, along with major transcription factor networks associated with CPC lineage commitment, are rapidly downregulated in response to cellular strain. These findings suggest that mechanical uncoupling and/or the suppression of mechanotransductive signaling pathways serve as a previously unrecognized critical regulatory mechanism necessary for supporting cardiac pacemaking.

Comparative Computational RNA Analysis of Cardiac-Derived Progenitor Cells and Their Extracellular Vesicles [miRNA-seq]

Project description:We aimed to examine differences between c-kit+ progenitor cells (CPCs) and CPC-derived extracellular vesicles (EV) RNA content. We isolated CPCs from cardiac biopsies of patients with congenital heart disease using magnetic bead sorting. We expanded CPCs, reduced serum for 24hrs, and collected secreted EVs from conditioned media with sequential ultracentrifugation. We isolate RNA from CPCs and CPC-EVs and sequence total RNA and miRNA. Sequencing was performed in at two different facilities: "E" and "N".

Human iPSC-Derived Cardiac Progenitor Cells Recapitulate Endogenous CPC Function and Offer a Rejuvenated Cell Source for Cardiac Regeneration

Project description:Cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) represent a promising alternative to CPC isolation from adult hearts avoiding the need for invasive myocardial biopsy and potentially overcoming the age-related decline in CPC function. Human iPSC-derived CPCs have previously been generated however current strategies are limited by the generation of developmentally immature and heterogeneous progenitor populations with restricted expansion capacity. A lack of donor-matched comparisons with native human CPCs has also limited insight into their developmental fidelity, functional competence, and translational relevance. Together, this study provides the first comprehensive donor-matched comparison of hiPSC-derived and native CPCs, establishing hiPSC-CPCs as an accessible, standardised, and rejuvenated progenitor source that closely mirrors native CPC identity and function. These findings support the potential application of hiPSC-CPCs for cardiac regenerative medicine applications.

Matrix-dependent cardiac progenitor cell fate is instructed by the early regulation of YAP and Plk2

Project description:Although recent studies support regenerative potential based on cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs), it remains unclear what cues regulate CPC fate. Using 2- and 3D-culture models, we demonstrate that the two most abundantly expressed matrix proteins in the heart, laminin and fibronectin, have opposite roles in CPC fate decision. CPCs on fibronectin showed predominantly nuclear localization of the transcriptional co-activator YAP and maintained proliferation. In contrast, seeding on laminin induced cytosolic retention and degradation of YAP and altered gene expression, which preceded decreased proliferation and enhanced lineage commitment. RNA-sequencing identified Plk2 as candidate target gene of YAP. Plk2 expression depended on YAP stability, was rapidly downregulated on laminin, and its regulation was sufficient to rescue and/or mimic the CPC response to laminin and fibronectin, respectively. These findings propose a novel role of Plk2 and identify an early molecular mechanism in matrix-instructed CPC fate with potential implications for therapeutic cardiac regeneration.

Chromatin accessibility profiles of early cardiac precursor cells at single cell resolution

Project description:Transcriptional networks governing cardiac precursor cell (CPC) specification are incompletely understood due in part to limitations in distinguishing CPCs from non-cardiac mesoderm in early gastrulation. We leveraged detection of early cardiac lineage transgenes within a granular single cell transcriptomic time course of mouse embryos to identify emerging CPCs and describe their transcriptional profiles. Mesp1, a transiently-expressed mesodermal transcription factor (TF), is canonically described as an early regulator of cardiac specification. However, we observed perdurance of CPC transgene-expressing cells in Mesp1 mutants, albeit mis-localized, prompting us to investigate the scope of Mesp1’s role in CPC emergence and differentiation. Mesp1 mutant CPCs failed to robustly activate markers of cardiomyocyte maturity and critical cardiac TFs, yet they exhibited transcriptional profiles resembling cardiac mesoderm progressing towards cardiomyocyte fates. Single cell chromatin accessibility analysis defined a Mesp1-dependent developmental breakpoint in cardiac lineage progression at a shift from mesendoderm transcriptional networks to those necessary for cardiac patterning and morphogenesis. These results reveal Mesp1-independent aspects of early CPC specification and underscore a Mesp1-dependent regulatory landscape required for progression through cardiogenesis.

A Regulatory Pathway Involving Notch1/β-Catenin/Isl1 Determines Cardiac Progenitor Cell Fate

Project description:The regulation of multipotent cardiac progenitor cell (CPC) expansion and subsequent differentiation into cardiomyocytes, smooth muscle, or endothelial cells is a fundamental aspect of basic cardiovascular biology and cardiac regenerative medicine. However, the mechanisms governing these decisions remain unclear. Here, we show that Wnt/β-Catenin signaling, which promotes expansion of CPCs, is negatively regulated by Notch1-mediated control of phosphorylated β-Catenin accumulation within CPCs, and that Notch1 activity in CPCs is required for their differentiation. Notch1 positively, and β-Catenin negatively, regulated expression of the cardiac transcription factors, Isl1, Myocd and Smyd1. Surprisingly, disruption of Isl1, normally expressed transiently in CPCs prior to their differentiation, resulted in expansion of CPCs in vivo and in an embryonic stem (ES) cell system. Furthermore, Isl1 was required for CPC differentiation into cardiomyocyte and smooth muscle cells, but not endothelial cells. These findings reveal a regulatory network controlling CPC expansion and cell fate that involve unanticipated functions of β-Catenin, Notch1 and Isl1 that may be leveraged for regenerative approaches involving CPCs.
