Pitx2 promotes heart repair by transcriptionally activating the antioxidant response after cardiac injury

ABSTRACT: Myocardial infarction results in compromised myocardial function with heart failure due to insufficient cardiomyocyte self-renewal. Unlike lower vertebrates, mammalian hearts only have a transient neonatal renewal capacity. Reactivating the primitive reparative ability in the fully mature heart requires an intimate knowledge of the molecular mechanisms promoting early heart repair. Here we identified a novel factor that can sufficiently promote heart muscle repair. By screening an established Hippo-deficient heart regeneration model for renewal promoting factors, we found that PITX2 protein expression in ventricles was induced after cardiomyocyte injury. Moreover, Pitx2-deficient neonatal hearts failed to repair after apex resection. Pitx2-gain-of-function in ventricular cardiomyocytes conferred reparative ability to the adult mouse heart after myocardial infarction. Integrated genomic analyses indicated that Pitx2 activated genes encoding electron transport chain components and reactive oxygen species scavengers. Pitx2 mutant myocardium had elevated reactive oxygen species levels while supplement of antioxidants suppressed the Pitx2-loss-of-function phenotype. Furthermore, PITX2 directly binds NFE2L2 and translocates from cytoplasm to nucleus upon oxidative stress.

YAP Drives Assembly of a Spatially Colocalized Cellular Triad Required for Heart Renewal

Project description:After myocardial infarction (MI), the heart fails to renew, and the cardiac microenvironment is irreversibly disrupted. Inactivation of the Hippo signaling pathway can rebuild the post ischemic microenvironment and improve cardiac function. We investigated spatially resolved cellular relationships of neonatal and adult renewal-competent hearts to gain insight into inefficient mammalian heart renewal. Spatial transcriptomics (ST) and single-cell sequencing of adult control hearts and hearts expressing YAP5SA, an active version of the Hippo signaling pathway effector YAP, which models heart renewal, revealed a conserved, renewal-competent cardiomyocyte (CM) population in control hearts and amplified in YAP5SA hearts. This CM population was also found in the wildtype, renewal competent neonatal heart after myocardial infarction, as well as the adult human heart. Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs), expressing complement C3, colocalized with these CMs. In YAP5SA hearts and neonatal hearts post-MI, macrophages (MPs) expressing complement receptor C3ar1 also colocalized, creating a pro-renewal niche composed of the CM, CF and MP triad. Both C3 and C3ar1 loss-of-function in YAP5SA hearts similarly suppressed heart renewal, indicating that C3-expressing CFs, C3ar1-expressing MPs, and complement system signaling play a direct role in heart renewal

Cardiomayocyte specific translating RNA sequencing from mice in heart failure

Project description:Mammalian organs vary widely in regenerative capacity, and poorly regenerative organs, such as the heart are particularly vulnerable to organ failure. Once established, heart failure commonly results in in considerable mortality and early demise. The Hippo pathway, a kinase cascade that prevents adult cardiomyocyte proliferation and regeneration, is upregulated in human heart failure. We show that deletion of the Hippo pathway component Salvador (Salv) in mouse hearts with established ischemic heart failure after myocardial infarction induced a reparative genetic program characterized by increased scar border vascularity, reduced fibrosis, and recovery of pumping function to that of sham-operated controls. To isolate cardiomyocyte specific translating mRNA we used TRAP (translating ribosomal affinity purification) followed by RNA sequencing. Hippo deficient cardiomyocytes had increased expression of proliferative, and stress response genes. Interestingly the mitochondrial quality control gene, Park2 was among the stress response genes. Further genetic studies indicated that Park2 was essential for heart repair in both the neonatal mouse and the adult Salv conditional knockout mouse. Thus, suggesting a requirement for mitochondrial quality control in the regenerating myocardium. Our findings indicate that the failing heart has a previously unrecognized capacity for repair involving more than cardiomyocyte renewal.

Analysis of cardiac miRNA expression in the early neonatal period

Project description:The regenerative capacity of the mammalian heart is lost quickly after birth when cardiomyocytes stop dividing and undergo cell cycle arrest. Thus, the adult mammalian heart lacks the ability to heal itself to any appreciable amount after ischemic injury such as myocardial infarction. Heart growth begins during fetal life with the first phase of DNA synthesis that is exclusively associated with cardiomyocyte proliferation. This process proceeds until 12 hours after birth and is defined as 0 days in our submitted samples. Cardiomyocytes division is undetectable at neonatal day 1. To analyze the molecular mechanisms responsible for cessation of cardiomyocyte proliferation, we performed genome-wide miRNA microarray profiling by comparing postnatal days 0 vs 1d.This revealed a profile of 8 significantly downregulated miRNAs in the proliferative DKO hearts (versus vehicle-injected control), that were enriched for mRNA targets involved in cell cycle regulation. In vitro studies have demonstrated that knockdown of these 8 miRNAs in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes can increase the occurrence of cytokinetic events. Ultimately, we aim to inject antagomirs targeting these miRNAs into mice post-myocardial infarction to determine the effect of these miRNAs on heart function and cardiomyocyte proliferation in vivo.

Gene expression profile of mouse CD206+F4/80+CD11b+ M2-like macrophages

Project description:Characterisation of M2-like macrophage in terms of gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that M2-like macrophages in myocardial infarction (MI) heart have upregulation of genes relevant to cardiac repair. The results obtained showed tha various tanti-inflammatory and reparative genes were upregulated in M2-like macrophage from MI heart compared to those from intact hearts. M2-like macrophages from the heart (either MI or intact) were distinct from those in the peritoneal cavity.

Cell-cell interaction between cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts regulates ferroptosis and fibrosis after myocardial injury

Project description:The heart suffers from a severe loss of cardiomyocyte after myocardial infarction (MI). However, it is not known which type of cell death is the major contributor of the loss of cardiomyocytes. By studying a mouse heart MI model at a regenerative and a non-regenerative stage, we demonstrate that ferroptosis, not apoptosis or necroptosis, is the major contributor to cardiomyocyte death starting at 1 day-post-MI. Intrinsic Pitx2 signaling in cardiomyocyte prevents ferroptosis. Meanwhile, cardiac fibroblasts expressing high level of Fth1 interact with cardiomyocytes to share the iron burden, therefore inhibit cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. Cardiomyocyte Pitx2 also inhibits Tsp1 expression, therefore negatively regulate fibroblast-to-myofibroblast activation to limit fibrosis.

Telomerase is essential for zebrafish heart regeneration

Project description:Unlike human hearts, zebrafish hearts efficiently regenerate after injury. Regeneration is driven by the strong proliferation response of its cardiomyocytes to injury. In this study, we show that active telomerase is required for cardiomyocyte proliferation and full organ recovery, supporting the potential of telomerase therapy as a means of stimulating cell proliferation upon myocardial infarction. Heart transcriptomes of WT and telomerase defective adult zebrafish animals were profiled by RNASeq, in control conditions and 3 days after heart cryoinjury.

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

Epigenome 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.

Alpha-1 adrenergic signaling drives cardiac regeneration through activation of extracellular matrix remodeling transcriptional program in macrophages

Project description:Autonomic drive plays a pivotal role in cardiac regeneration. Sympathetic or cholinergic denervation impairs myocardial regrowth in neonatal mouse and zebrafish hearts. Here, we uncovered the mechanistic underpinning of adrenergic signaling in regenerative repair of the heart to be critically dependent on immunomodulation. Through pharmacological and genetic manipulations, we identified adrenergic receptor alpha-1 as a key regulator of macrophage phenotypic diversification following myocardial infarction in zebrafish. Single-cell transcriptomics revealed that the receptor signals activation of an ‘extracellular matrix remodeling’ transcriptional program characterized by upregulation of matrix proteins and matrix-modifying enzymes in a macrophage subset. Functionally, adrenergic receptor alpha-1-activated macrophages regulate fibrotic response of the heart by mediating collagenous extracellular matrix turnover and myofibroblast activation, allowing vascularization and cardiomyocyte cell cycle entry at the infarcted lesion. These findings not only unravel the mechanism of adrenergic signaling in macrophage phenotypic and functional determination, but also highlight the potential of neural modulation for regulation of fibrosis and coordination of myocardial regenerative response.
