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

Project description:Although most mammals heal injured tissues and organs with scarring, spiny mice (Acomys) naturally regenerate skin and complex musculoskeletal tissues. Currently, the core signaling pathways driving mammalian tissue regeneration are poorly characterized. Here, we show that, while immediate ERK activation is a shared feature of scarring (Mus) and regenerating (Acomys) injuries, ERK activity is only sustained during complex tissue regeneration. Following ERK inhibition, regeneration in Acomys shifted towards a fibrotic repair. Using scRNA-seq, we uncovered that MAPK/ERK signaling acts in a cell type specific manner to direct regenerative healing. Loss- and gain-of-function experiments prompted us to identify FGF and ErbB signaling as upstream ERK regulators of regeneration. By ectopically activating ERK in Mus injuries, a pro- regenerative response was induced, including cell proliferation, extracellular matrix remodeling and hair follicle neogenesis. Our data provide new insights into why some mammals regenerate better than others and open avenues to redirect fibrotic repair towards regenerative healing.

Project description:Loss of cardiomyocytes (CMs) following injury can lead to myocardial dysfunction, heart failure (HF) and ultimately death. The limited regenerative ability of the adult human heart after injury, however, poses a significant obstacle to restore cardiac function effectively. While mammalian hearts, including those of mice and humans, do have the potential to regenerate, this capacity is restricted to a narrow window during early stages of life. The molecular mechanisms governing the regenerative capacity of mammalian hearts remain incompletely understood. Exploring a comparative transcriptome analysis in regenerative neonatal vs. non-regenerative adult mouse CMs, we identified N-Cadherin, a member of Ca2+-dependent cell adhesion protein cadherin superfamily, as a potential novel regulator of CM proliferation/renewal. The primary objectives of this study were to elucidate the molecular mechanisms through which N-Cadherin regulates cardiomyocyte proliferation and regeneration, and to determine the therapeutic potential to promote CM renewal and restore cardiac function following injury by targeting N-Cadherin. Cardiac N-Cadherin expression exhibits a strong positive correlation with that of cell cycle- and proliferation-related genes. Its expression levels show an age-dependent reduction, with a 75% decrease of N-Cadherin in adult, compared to P1 neonatal, CMs. N-Cadherin expression is upregulated in the neonatal mouse heart in response to apical resection, especially in the peri-injury region, coinciding with increased CM mitotic activities in the neonatal heart. Knocking down N-Cadherin reduced, whereas overexpression of N-Cadherin increased, the proliferation activity of neonatal mouse CMs and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived CMs. Mechanistically, increased N-Cadherin potentiates CM renewal through direct binding with and stabilization of a pro-mitotic transcription regulator β-Catenin, leading to increased CMs proliferative activity. Deletion of β-Catenin-binding domain on N-Cadherin abrogated its pro-regenerative activity. Importantly, targeted depletion of N-Cadherin in CMs resulted in incomplete cardiac repair/regeneration and excessive fibrotic scar formation in neonatal mouse hearts following injury. Cardiac-specific overexpression of N-Cadherin in adult mouse heart using adeno-associated viral vectors, by contrast, resulted in increased CM proliferation and protected against myocardial infarction-induced adverse remodeling and contractile dysfunction. Adherent junction protein N-cadherin is demonstrated to play a crucial role in maintaining CM renewal potential by post-translational stabilization of β-Catenin. Enhancing N-cadherin expression levels and downstream signaling activities in the heart, therefore, could be a powerful new approach to promote cardiac regeneration and restore myocardial function in adult human heart following injury.

Project description:Salamanders, such as the Mexican axolotl, are some of the few vertebrates fortunate in their ability to regenerate diverse structures after injury. Unlike mammals they are able to regenerate a fully functional spinal cord after injury. However, the early signals required to initiate a pro-regenerative response after spinal cord injury is not well understood. To address this question we developed a spinal cord injury model in axolotls and used in vivo imaging of ion sensitive dyes and determined that spinal cord injury induces a rapid and dynamic change in the resting membrane potential of ependymoglial cells. Prolonged depolarization of ependymoglial cells after injury inhibits glial cell proliferation and subsequent axon regeneration. Using transcriptional profiling we identified c-Fos as a key voltage sensitive early response gene that is expressed specifically in the ependymoglial cells after injury. This data establishes that dynamic changes in the membrane potential after injury are essential for regulating the specific spatiotemporal expression of c-Fos that is critical for promoting faithful spinal cord regeneration in axolotl.

Project description:The regenerative capacity of the adult mammalian heart is constrained by the post-mitotic nature of cardiomyocytes (CMs). Conversely, neonatal mouse hearts exhibit a regenerative window within the first week of life. Here, we demonstrate that an injury-induced Clusterin-positive (Clu+) CM population reprograms macrophages, facilitating heart regeneration during this timeframe. Clu+ CMs are selectively induced in the border zone of regenerative hearts across multiple species, contrasting with their absence in non-regenerative hearts. Genetic ablation of Clu+ CMs or Clu impedes neonatal heart regeneration, while transplantation of engineered human organoids enriched in Clu+ CMs or Clu overexpression promotes myocardial regeneration in adult mice. Mechanistically, Clu+ CMs secrete CLU, binding to TLR4 in macrophages, directing them toward an immune-suppressive neonatal-like phenotype through Cpt1a-mediated metabolic reprogramming, inducing BMP2 and promoting CM proliferation. Our findings unveil a novel cellular source for mammalian heart regeneration and highlight the fundamental roles of cardio-immune interaction in cardiac repair.

Project description:Contrary to mammals, zebrafish regenerate their heart upon cryoinjury of the cardiac ventricular apex. Regeneration is preceed by a fibrotic response. To understand the contribution of different cell sources to zebrafish cardiac fibrosis we performed an RNASeq including endocardial kdrl:mCherry cells from an uninjured heart, and activated endocardial kdrl:mCherry cells, postnb:citrine fibroblasts and the rest of the cells at 7 days post injury.
