Project description:This project compares Baf60c homozygous deletions to WT at two time points during cardiac differentiation. This data is used in two separate projects: first to assess the role of Baf60c in regulating cardiac gene expression, and second to assess the repeatability of results from different RNA-seq analysis tools.

This data is used in two separate projects: first to assess the role of Baf60c in regulating cardiac gene expression, and second to assess the repeatability of results from different RNA-seq analysis tools. There are 12 samples total; 3 replicates for each group, times 2 genetic backgrounds (WT and Baf60c homozygous KO), times two timepoints (cardiomyocyte (D10) and cardiac precusor (D5.3)).
Project description:Pathological variants in NOTCH1 have been implicated in multiple types of congenital heart defects including bicuspid aortic valve and hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). To probe how NOTCH1 deficiency affects cardiac development, we generated homozygous NOTCH1 knockout (N1KO) human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). We then ran single-cell RNA-seq to temporally profile transcriptomic changes during cardiac differentiation in wild type (WT) and N1KO iPSCs. We collected differentiating cells at multiple time points corresponding to different development stages, i.e., Day 0 (D0: pluripotent stem cell), D2 (mesoderm), D5 (cardiac mesoderm), D10 (cardiac progenitor), D14 (early cardiomyocyte), and D30 (fetal cardiomyocyte). Single-cell transcriptomics analysis reveals that NOTCH1 disruption impairs human ventricular cardiomyocyte differentiation and proliferation through balancing cell fate determination of cardiac mesoderm toward the first heart field, second heart field, and epicardial lineages.
Project description:We directly reprogramed two human iPS cell lines to cardiac cells and collected four time points (day 0, day 2, day 4, and day 10) during cardiac differentiation for bulk RNA sequencing.
Project description:To investigate ageing-related changes in cardiac transcriptome of FVB mice we performed differential gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of five life time points (4-, 8-, 10-, 12-, 14 months) by comparing older FVB mice (8-, 10-, 12-, 14 months) to young 4-month-old FVB mice (FVB vs. FVB analysis). Genes that were differentially expressed in FVB vs. FVB analysis were also annotated to the respective biological processes based on Gene Ontology database, assessed for their overrepresentation to indicate processes involved in cardic ageing process in FVB mice. To investigate heart failure-related as well as ageing-related changes in cardiac transcriptome of Tgαq*44 mice we performed differential gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of five life time points (4-, 8-, 10-, 12-, 14 months) by comparing Tgαq*44 to age-matched FVB mice (Tgαq*44 vs. FVB analysis). Genes that were differentially expressed in Tgαq*44 vs. FVB analysis were also annotated to the respective biological processes based on Gene Ontology database, assessed for their overrepresentation to indicate processes iniciated along heart failure development as well as cardiac ageing process in Tgαq*44 mice. To investigate early activated ageing-related changes in cardiac transcriptome of Tgαq*44 mice during entire heart failure development we searched for the presence of ageing-related genes (those identified in cardiac transcriptome of older FVB mice) among genes which were differentially expressed commonly at each measured time points in Tgαq*44 vs. FVB analysis.

Project description:The rat cardio-myoblast cell line H9C2 has emerged as an important tool for studying cardiac development and toxicology. We present here a rigorous proteomic analysis that for the first time studied changes of proteins during H9C2 differentiation into cardiomyocyte-like cells over time. Quantitative mass spectrometry followed by gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed early changes in protein pathways that enable cardiac muscle morphogenesis/contraction and suggested an involvement of proteins relevant to sphingolipid synthesis. This early differentiation was followed by differentiation-induced alterations in cation transport and beta-oxidation at later time points. Applying a two-way ANOVA to study the temporal profile of H9C2 differentiation in further detail revealed eight clusters of co-regulated proteins that could be associated to early, late, continuous and transient up- and downregulation. Subsequent Reactome pathway analysis based on these eight clusters further corroborated and detailed the results of the GO analysis. Specifically, this analysis confirmed proteins related to pathways in muscle contraction as early and transiently upregulated, and proteins relevant to ECM matrix organization as early downregulated, while changes related to cardiac metabolism occurred at later time points. Our results are in line with a ‘function follows form’ model of differentiation, whereby early and transient changes of cellular morphology enable subsequent changes that are relevant for the characteristic physiology of cardiac cells.
Project description:We performed scRNA-seq over multiple time points of heart development in WT C57Bl6/J embryos and in Tbx1 mutant mice (Tbx1 KO). We dissected primarily the cardiac region but also the regions dorsal to the heart and the pharyngeal arches to capture the progenitor cells that migrate into the heart and the neural crest cells. For time points E10.5 and E11.5, we primarily dissected the regions behind the heart and included less of the overall cardiac region. We included pharyngeal arches for all time points and, at E11.5, we excluded the first arch. For Tbx1 null embryos, we also generated scRNA-seq data for WT and mutant embryos from the same pool of dissociated cells used for scATAC-seq.
