Cardiomyocyte gene programs encoding morphological and functional signatures in cardiac hypertrophy and failure (ChIP-Seq)

ABSTRACT: Pressure overload induces a transition from cardiac hypertrophy to heart failure, but its underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here we reconstruct a trajectory of cardiomyocyte remodeling and clarify distinct cardiomyocyte gene programs encoding morphological and functional signatures in cardiac hypertrophy and failure, by integrating single-cardiomyocyte transcriptome with cell morphology, epigenomic state and heart function. During early hypertrophy, cardiomyocytes activate mitochondrial translation/metabolism genes, whose expression is correlated with cell size and linked to ERK1/2 and NRF1/2 transcriptional networks. Persistent overload leads to a bifurcation into adaptive and failing cardiomyocytes, and p53 signaling is specifically activated in late hypertrophy. Cardiomyocyte-specific p53 deletion shows that cardiomyocyte remodeling is initiated by p53-independent mitochondrial activation and morphological hypertrophy, followed by p53-dependent mitochondrial inhibition, morphological elongation, and heart failure gene program activation. Human single-cardiomyocyte analysis validates the conservation of the pathogenic transcriptional signatures. Collectively, cardiomyocyte identity is encoded in transcriptional programs that orchestrate morphological and functional phenotypes.

Transcription profiling of hearts from mice heterozygous for Gata4 mutation (G4D) to investigate the significance of Gata4 in regulating postnatal heart function and in regulating the hypertrophic response of the heart to pathological stress.

Project description:An important event in the pathogenesis of heart failure is the development of pathological cardiac hypertrophy. In cultured cardiac cardiomyocytes, the transcription factor Gata4 is required for agonist-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. We hypothesized that in the intact organism Gata4 is an important regulator of postnatal heart function and of the hypertrophic response of the heart to pathological stress. To test this hypothesis, we studied mice heterozygous for deletion of the second exon of Gata4 (G4D). At baseline, G4D mice had mild systolic and diastolic dysfunction associated with reduced heart weight and decreased cardiomyocyte number. After transverse aortic constriction (TAC), G4D mice developed overt heart failure and eccentric cardiac hypertrophy, associated with significantly increased fibrosis and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Inhibition of apoptosis by overexpression of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor prevented TAC-induced heart failure in G4D mice. Unlike WT-TAC controls, G4D-TAC cardiomyocytes hypertrophied by increasing in length more than width. Gene expression profiling revealed upregulation of genes associated with apoptosis and fibrosis, including members of the TGF? pathway. Our data demonstrate that Gata4 is essential for cardiac function in the postnatal heart. After pressure overload, Gata4 regulates the pattern of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and protects the heart from load-induced failure. Experiment Overall Design: We reasoned that if Gata4 was a crucial regulator of pathways necessary for cardiac hypertrophy, then modest reductions of Gata4 activity should result in an observable cardiac phenotype. To test this hypothesis, we used gene targeted mice that express reduced levels of Gata4. We characterized these mice at baseline and after pressure Experiment Overall Design: overload.

Receptor Interacting Protein 140 (Nrip1) Controls Cardiac Fuel Metabolism and Function [RNA-seq]

Project description:During development of heart failure, capacity for cardiomyocyte fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and ATP production is progressively diminished contributing to pathologic cardiac hypertrophy and contractile dysfunction. Receptor interacting protein 140 (RIP140; Nrip1) has been shown to function as a transcriptional co-repressor of oxidative metabolism. Here we show that mice lacking RIP140 in striated muscle (strRIP140-/-) have increased expression of a broad array of involved in a broad array of mitochondrial energy metabolism and contractile function in heart and skeletal muscle. strRIP140-/- mice were resistant to the development of pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy, and cardiomyocyte-specific RIP140 deficient (csRIP140-/-) mice were defended against development of heart failure caused by pressure overload combined with myocardial infarction. Genomic enhancers activated by RIP140 deficiency in cardiomyocytes were enriched in binding motifs for transcriptional regulators of mitochondrial function (estrogen-related receptor) and cardiac contractile proteins (myocyte enhancer factor 2). Consistent with a role in the control of cardiac fuel metabolism, loss of RIP140 in heart resulted in augmented triacylglyceride turnover and FA utilization. We conclude that RIP140 functions as a suppressor of a transcriptional regulatory network that controls cardiac fuel metabolism and contractile function, representing a potential therapeutic target for heart failure.

Gene Therapy with the N-terminus of Junctophilin-2 Improves Hypertrophy and Heart Failure in Mice

Project description:Our previous work found a variety of cardiac stresses initiate site-specific cleavage of junctophilin-2 (JP2), an essential component of the E-C coupling apparatus, producing a 75-kDa N-terminal fragment (JP2NT) which unexpectedly translocates into cardiomyocyte nuclei and functions as a transcriptional repressor. We also determined that transgenic overexpression of JP2NT in cardiomyocytes attenuates pressure-overload induced hypertrophy and heart failure by blunting the induction of maladaptive transcripts. To test whether JP2NT could be utilized by gene therapy approaches for treating heart failure, we developed cardiotropic adeno-associated GFP and JP2NT expressing viruses for testing in a preclinical model of heart failure. Our results show that the transcriptional and pathological changes from pressure overload can be reduced through viral expression of JP2NT once hypertrophy and heart failure has already begun.

Gene profiling of Hand2 target genes and transcriptional regulation of Hand2 expression in the postnatal myocardium

Project description:In humans, cardiac hypertrophy is the principal risk factor for the development of overt heart failure and sudden cardiac death from lethal arrhythmias. Although aberrant reactivation of fetal² gene programs is intricately linked to maladaptive hypertrophy of postnatal cardiomyocytes, loss of cardiac function and heart failure, the transcription factors driving these gene programs remain ill defined. We report that the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor dHAND/Hand2 is re-expressed in the mammalian postnatal myocardium in response to stress signaling. Interestingly, mutant mice overexpressing Hand2 in otherwise healthy ventricular myocytes developed a phenotype of pathological hypertrophy. In contrast, conditional gene-targeted Hand2 mice demonstrated a marked resistance to pressure overload-induced hypertrophy, fibrosis, ventricular dysfunction and induction of a fetal gene program. These data suggest a critical role for the Hand2 transcription factor during hypertrophic remodeling and heart failure. To gain more mechanistically insight in the processes underlying heart failure, we here identified Hand2 target genes by microarray gene expression profiling. RNA samples were collected 4 weeks after sham or TAC surgery (to induce pressure overload) of both tamoxifen-treated Hand2f/f (WT) and MCM-Hand2f/f (KO) mice.

PKN2 deficiency leads both to prenatal ‘congenital’ cardiomyopathy and defective angiotensin II stress responses

Project description:Background: The protein kinase PKN2 is required for embryonic development, and PKN2 knockout mice die as a result of failure in expansion of mesoderm tissues, cardiac development and neural tube closure. In the adult, cardiomyocyte PKN2 and PKN1 (in combination) are required for cardiac adaptation to pressure-overload. The role of PKN2 in contractile cardiomyocytes during development and its role in the adult heart remain to be fully established. Methods: We used mice with cardiomyocyte-directed knockout of PKN2 or global PKN2 haploinsufficiency. Cardiac function and dimensions were assessed with high resolution episcopic microscopy, MRI, micro-CT and echocardiography. Biochemical and histological changes were assessed. Results: Cardiomyocyte-directed PKN2 knockout embryos displayed striking abnormalities in the compact myocardium, with frequent myocardial clefts and diverticula, ventricular septal defects and abnormal heart shape. The sub-Mendelian homozygous knockout survivors developed cardiac failure. RNASeq data showed upregulation of PKN2 in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, suggesting an involvement in adult heart disease. Given the rarity of homozygous survivors with cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of PKN2, this was explored using mice with constitutive heterozygous PKN2 knockout. Cardiac hypertrophy resulting from hypertension induced by angiotensin II was reduced in haploinsufficient PKN2 mice relative to wild-type littermates, with suppression of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis. Conclusions: Cardiomyocyte PKN2 is essential for heart development and formation of compact myocardium, and is also required for cardiac hypertrophy in hypertension. Thus, PKN signalling may offer therapeutic options for managing congenital and adult heart diseases.

Gene expression profiling of hypertrophic and failing cardiomyocytes identifies new players in heart failure

Project description:Aim - Pathological cardiac remodeling is characterized by cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and fibroblast activation, which can ultimately lead to heart failure (HF). Genome-wide expression analysis on heart tissue has been instrumental for the identification of molecular mechanisms at play. However, these data were based on signals derived from all cardiac cell types. Here we aimed for a more detailed view on molecular changes driving cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and failure to aid in the development of therapies to reverse maladaptive remodeling. Methods and results - Utilizing cardiomyocyte-specific reporter mice exposed to pressure overload by transverse aortic banding (TAB), we obtained gene expression profiles of hypertrophic (one-week TAB) and failing (eight-weeks TAB) cardiomyocytes. We identified subsets of genes differentially regulated and specific for either stage. Among these, we found upregulation of known marker genes for HF, such as Nppb and Myh7. Additionally, we identified a set of genes specifically upregulated in failing cardiomyocytes and that so far have not been studied in HF, including the platelet isoform of phosphofructokinase (PFKP). Human cardiomyocytes subjected to 7-day NE/AngII treatment recapitulated the upregulation of the failure-induced genes indicating conservation. RNA-seq on failing and healthy human hearts confirmed increased expression for several failure-induced genes and allowed for expressional correlation to NPPB/MYH7. Finally, suppression of Pfkp in PE-treated primary cardiomyocytes reduced stress-induced gene expression and hypertrophy, suggesting a role in cardiomyocyte failure. Conclusion - Using cardiomyocyte-specific transcriptomic analysis we identified novel failure-induced genes relevant for human HF, and show that PFKP is a conserved failure-induced gene that can modulate cardiomyocyte stress response.

Effect of cardiac SRPK3 overexpression in adult mice

Project description:Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is unequivocally identified as an ominous escalation of hemodynamically stressful overload, ultimately heighten risk of sudden death as heart failure (HF) ensues. Here, we explored how dysregulated mitochondrial RNA (mtRNA) metabolism remodels mitochondrial bioenergetics and controls hypertrophic-phenotype cardiopathy in mice and humans. Utilizing targeted genetic approaches and in vivo functional imaging, we describe a potent cardiac pro-hypertrophic role for serine arginine protein kinase 3 (SRPK3), which is highly induced in myocardium upon hypertrophic stimuli. Adult extended expression of SRPK3 in cardiomyocytes (CMs) leads to spontaneously concentric hypertrophy and eventuates sudden cardiac death in mice.
