Project description:Mouse embryonic stem cells can differentiate in vitro into spontaneously contracting cardiomyocytes. The main objective of this study was to investigate cardiogenesis in cultures of differentiating embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and to determine how closely it mimics in vivo cardiac development. We identified and isolated a population of cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) through the use of a reporter DNA construct that allowed the expression of a selectable marker under the control of the Nkx2.5 enhancer. We proceeded to characterize these CPCs by examining their capacity to differentiate into cardiomyocytes and to proliferate. We then performed a large-scale temporal microarray expression analysis in order to identify genes that are uniquely upregulated or downregulated in the CPC population. We determined that the transcriptional profile of the mESC derived CPCs was consistent with pathways known to be active during embryonic cardiac development. We conclude that in vitro differentiation of mESCs recapitulates the early steps of mouse cardiac development. Keywords: embryonic stem cell, differentiation, cardiac progenitor, cardiogenesis

Project description:Previous evidence suggested ISL1 plays unique transcriptional roles between vastly different cell types in developing humans. Single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) of in vitro progenitor cells detailed ISL1's cell-type-specific roles in human cardiac progenitors (CPs) and motor neuron progenitors (MNPs). In addition, scRNA-seq confirmed ISL1 and NKX2.5 likely regulate common transcriptional pathways.

Project description:We show that cardiac-specific RNA-sequencing studies reveal a disrupted embryonic Nkx2.5 transcriptional profile despite histologically normal, Nkx2.5 loss-of-function adult myocardium. Yet, adult nkx2.5-/- fish exhibit an impaired ability to recover following ventricular apex amputation as illustrated by retention of fibrin and collagen in the injured area. Complex network analyses illuminate that Nkx2.5 is required to mount a proliferative response for cardiomyocyte renewal and to provoke proteolytic pathways necessary for sarcomere disassembly. Moreover, direct Nkx2.5 targets embedded in these distinct gene regulatory modules coordinate appropriate, multi-faceted injury responses. Altogether, our findings support a previously unrecognized, Nkx2.5-dependent regenerative circuit that invokes myocardial proliferation and dedifferentiation to ensure effective regeneration in the teleost heart.

Project description:The NK2 family of homeobox genes constitutes a family of transcription factors that play an important role in different developmental processes. Members of this group are characterized by two highly conserved protein domains: the homeodomain, conferring DNA binding activity, and the NK2-specific domain (NK2-SD) of yet unknown function. One of the best characterized members of this group is the early cardiogenic marker Nkx2.5. Loss of function of Nkx2.5 leads to embryonic lethality around E10.5 due to an arrest of heart development at the looping stage. We have further dissected the function of Nkx2.5 in vivo by creating a knockout mouse line harboring an in frame deletion of the NK2-SD by Cre/loxP mediated excision. Homozygous mutant mice die at E14.5 due to severe cardiac malformations, e.g. common AV canal, DORV, and VSD. Lack of the NK2-SD leads to downregulation of the ventricular markers MLC-2v and Irx4 specifically in the right ventricle, and is accompanied with reduced right ventricular function. This function of Nkx2.5 seems to be independent of its ability to bind target DNA, since lack of the NK2-SD does not alter the DNA binding activity of Csx/Nkx2.5 in vitro. Heterozygous mutant mice show a spectrum of cardiac defects related to cardiac septation and valve morphogenesis, but lack conduction system defects as reported for heterozygous Nkx2.5 mice. The phenotype observed in NK2-SD mutant mice shows that Nkx2.5 is not only crucial during early steps of cardiogenesis but also plays an important role at later developmental stages. Embryos were isolated at embryonic day 12.5. The entire embryo heart was taken and isolated in ice-cold PBS and immediately frozen on dry-ice. Total RNA was extracted from pooled samples of wildtype, heterozygous and mutant embryos.

Project description:The transcription factor Nkx2.5 is required for specification of pharyngeal arch second heart field (SHF) progenitors that contribute to outflow tract (OFT) and right ventricle (RV) formation. Multiple sets of microarray data were analyzed to identify genes that are candidate targets of Nkx2.5 in the second heart field. These sets are: 1) publicly available data for cardiothoracic tissue from E9.5 Nkx2.5 wild-type, heterozygous and homozygous embryos; 2) an analysis of mouse E10.5 pharyngeal arch tissue; 3) an analysis of mouse E12.5 heart tissue; and 4) a temporal analysis of the cardiogenic cell line P19CL6. This combined analysis identified 11 genes (Lrrn1, Elovl2, Safb, Slc39a6, Khdrbs1, Hoxb4, Fez1, Ccdc117, Jarid2, Nrcam, and Enpp3) expressed in SHF-containing pharyngeal arch tissue whose regulation is dependent on Nkx2.5 expression.

Project description:Rationale: Cardiogenesis is regulated by a complex interplay between transcription factors and chromatin-modifying enzymes. However, little is known about how these interactions regulate the transition from mesodermal precursors to cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs). Objective: To identify novel regulators of mesodermal cardiac lineage commitment. Methods and Results: We performed a bioinformatic-based transcription factor-binding site analysis on upstream promoter regions of genes that are enriched in ES cell-derived CPCs. From 32 candidate transcription factors screened, we found that YY1, a repressor of sarcomeric gene expression, is present in CPCs in vivo. Interestingly, we uncovered the ability of YY1 to transcriptionally activate Nkx2.5, a key marker of early cardiogenic commitment. YY1 regulates Nkx2.5 expression via a 2.1 kb cardiac-specific enhancer as demonstrated by in vitro luciferase-based assays and in vivo chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and genome-wide sequencing analysis. Furthermore, the ability of YY1 to activate Nkx2.5 expression depends on its cooperative interaction with GATA4 at a nearby chromatin. Cardiac mesoderm-specific loss-of-function of YY1 resulted in early embryonic lethality. This was corroborated in vitro by ES cell-based assays where we show that the over-expression of YY1 enhanced the cardiogenic differentiation ES cells into CPCs in a cell autonomous manner. Conclusion: These results demonstrate an essential and unexpected role for YY1 to promote cardiogenesis as a transcriptional activator of Nkx2.5 and other CPC-enriched genes. We report the identification of putative YY1 target genes in cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs). Two samples of independently FACS-purified eGFP+ CPCs were examined against the input.

Project description:We utilized a dual reporting hPSC line that identified cells expressing NKX2.5 and endothelal cells to characterize discrete milestones during cardiac and vascular differentiaiton. Comparing populations that express either or both reporters to human umbilical vein endothelial cells, we document a unique molecular phenotype in hPSC-derived endocardium that points toward an important role for Wnt signaling during vascular specification of cardiac progenitors.
