Project description:Cardiac fibroblasts stay relatively quiescent under normal condition. These cells differentiate to myofibroblasts after myocardial infarction (MI), characterized by the expression of contractile proteins and secretion of elevated levels of extracellular matrix proteins, leading to cardiac remodeling. The differentiated myofiroblasts gradually lose most myofibroblast phenotypes but still persist in the infarct area to maintain the tissue structural integrity. We used microarrays to reveal the change in cardiac fibroblast gene expression profile after MI.

Project description:Cardiac fibrosis occurs in most cardiac diseases, which reduces cardiac muscle compliance, impairs both systolic and diastolic heart function and, ultimately, leads to heart failure. Using unbiased transcriptome profiling in a mouse model of myocardial infarction, we identified a cardiac-fibroblast enriched lncRNA (AK048087) named cardiac fibroblast-associated transcript (Cfast), which is significantly elevated after myocardial infarction. Here, we show that silencing Cfast expression by lentiviral shRNAs resulted in suppression of fibrosis-related gene expression and transdifferentiation of myofibroblasts into cardiac fibroblasts. We performed the RNA-seq profiling in both lentivirus Cfast knockdown and lentivirus scramble group in cardiac fibroblasts. Finally, the transcriptome analysis indicates that genes related to cell differentiation, cell migration, extracellular matrix organization downregulated in Cfast knockdown group.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Cardiac reprogramming is a technique to directly convert non-myocytes into myocardial cells using genes and/or small molecules. This intervention provides functional benefit to the rodent heart when delivered at the time of myocardial infarction or activated transgenically up to 4 weeks after myocardial infarction. Yet, several hurdles have prevented the advancement of cardiac reprogramming for clinical use. METHODS: Through a combination of screening and rational design, we identified a cardiac reprogramming cocktail that can be encoded in a single AAV. We also created a novel AAV capsid that can transduce cardiac fibroblasts more efficiently than available parental serotypes by mutating post-translationally modified capsid residues. Since a constitutive promoter was needed to drive high expression of these cell-fate altering reprogramming factors, we included binding sites to a cardiomyocyte-restricted microRNA within the 3’ UTR of the expression cassette that limits expression to non-myocytes. After optimizing this expression cassette to reprogram human cardiac fibroblasts into induced cardiomyocyte-like cells in vitro, we also tested the ability of this capsid / cassette combination to confer functional benefit in acute mouse myocardial infarction and chronic rat myocardial infarction models. RESULTS: We demonstrated sustained, dose-dependent improvement in cardiac function when treating a rat model two weeks after MI, showing that cardiac reprogramming, when delivered in a single, clinically relevant AAV vector, can support functional improvement in the post-remodeled heart. This benefit was not observed with GFP or a hepatocyte reprogramming cocktail and was achieved even in the presence of immunosuppression, supporting myocyte formation as the underlying mechanism. CONCLUSION: Collectively, these results advance the application of cardiac reprogramming gene therapy as a viable therapeutic approach to treat chronic heart failure resulting from ischemic injury.

Project description:To assess the pathophysiological of genetic depletion of Yap and Wwtr1 in myofibroblasts following myocardial infarction, we utilized a Cre-lox system whereby the inducible Periostin promoter is leveraged to deplete both Yap and Wwtr1 from myofibroblasts in mice. Following myocardial infarction, myofibroblast depletion of both Yap and Wwtr1 significantly improves cardiac function after injury as compared to injured controls. Here, we have performed single cell RNA sequencing of interstitial cardiac cells 7 days post myocardial infarction to assess differentially express genes within cardiac fibroblasts and immune cell populations.

Project description:Growth and expansion of ventricular chambers is essential during cardiogenesis and is achieved by proliferation of cardiac progenitors that are not fully differentiated. Disruption of this process can lead to prenatal lethality. In contrast, adult cardiomyocytes achieve growth through hypertrophy rather than hyperplasia. Although epicardial-derived signals may contribute to the proliferative process in myocytes, the factors and cell types responsible for development of the ventricular myocardial thickness are unclear. Moreover, the function of embryonic cardiac fibroblasts, derived from epicardium, and their secreted factors are largely unknown. Using a novel co-culture system, we found that embryonic cardiac fibroblasts induced proliferation of cardiomyocytes, in contrast to adult cardiac fibroblasts that promoted myocyte hypertrophy. We identified fibronectin, collagen and heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor as embryonic cardiac fibroblast-specific signals that collaboratively promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation in a paracrine fashion. b1 integrin was required for this proliferative response, and ventricular cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of b1 integrin in mice resulted in reduced myocardial proliferation and impaired ventricular compaction. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized paracrine function of embryonic cardiac fibroblasts in regulating cardiomyocyte proliferation. To identify candidate fibroblast-derived factors that promote myocyte proliferation, we isolated RNA from Nkx-YFP+ cardiomyocytes, embryonic cardiac fibroblasts, and adult cardiac fibroblasts and profiled mRNA expressions by microarray analyses. Arrays were performed using Affymetrix mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays. Analysis was performed on three biological replicates of mouse embyonic cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts and adult cardiac fibroblasts.

Project description:Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. As adult cardiomyocytes (CMs) have little regenerative capacity, after myocardial infarction (MI), resident cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) synthesize extracellular matrix to form scar tissues, resulting in myocardial remodeling and HF. Thus, both cardiac regeneration and fibrosis are therapeutic targets for chronic MI. We previously reported that fibroblasts were directly reprogrammed into induced CMs (iCMs) by overexpression of cardiogenic transcription factors in vitro and in vivo in acute MI. Here we show that in vivo cardiac reprogramming generated iCMs from resident CFs, improved cardiac function, and reversed fibrosis in chronic MI using a novel transgenic mouse system. Transcriptome analysis revealed that in vivo cardiac reprogramming altered the interstitial cell landscape, suppressed signs of fibrosis and inflammation, and activated the angiogenic program. Thus, in vivo cardiac reprogramming may be a promising approach for chronic HF.

Project description:Cardiac transdifferentiation represents an attractive way of reversing heart damage caused by myocardial infarction. Yet, it is still in pre-clinical stage mainly due to the lack of efficacy with current transdifferentiation protocols. Here, we describe that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is capable of augmenting cardiomyocyte transdifferentiation in vitro. Treatment of Gata4, Hand2, Mef2c and Tbx5 (GHMT) - transduced mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) with 1% DMSO induced ~5 fold increase in the percentage of Myh6-mCherry+ cells, and significantly increased the global expression of cardiac genes. Transcriptomic studies were carried out to explore the underlying mechanism of how DMSO may enhance cardiac transdifferentiation.

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.

Project description:Cardiac fibroblasts are critical to proper heart function through multiple interactions with the myocardial compartment. Loosely defined based on their mesenchymal origin, capacity to adhere to plastic and to secrete extracellular matrix, cardiac fibroblasts have been largely neglected due to heterogeneity and lack of proper markers. Objective: To identify genes uniquely expressed in the cardiac fibroblast pool, we performed an unbiased comparative analysis between cardiac and tail fibroblasts, and tracked cardiac fibroblasts after injury to determine their contribution to myocardial regeneration. Methods and Results: High-throughput cell surface and intracellular profiling identified homogeneously expressed MSC markers in cardiac fibroblasts, as well as a surprising number of cardiogenic markers, some expressed at higher levels than in cardiomyocytes. Genetically marked fibroblasts contributed to interstitial but not cardiomyocyte compartments in infarcted hearts. Conclusions: The core transcriptional identity of cardiac fibroblasts reflects their embryological origin, provoking novel interpretations for studies on more specialized cardiac progenitors, and offering a novel perspective for reinterpreting cardiac regenerative therapies 3 biological replicates plated over 5 days after isolation pooled out of 2 animals were used for both tail and heart fibroblasts (6 total samples analysed)
