Proteomics identification of regulated proteins during cardyomyocyte differentiation

ABSTRACT: 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.

We present here a rigorous proteomic analysis that monitored the changes in protein expression during differentiation of H9C2 cells into cardiomyocyte-like cells over time.

Project description:In Cichorium intybus, macroscopic and histological modifications were identified during in vitro cell reactivation and morphogenesis events. The relationships between these modifications and transcript profiles of genes were investigated. Two chicory genotypes derived from the Hungarian landrace Koospol, were tested: K59 is a responsive genotype (embryogenic), as it undergoes cell de- and re-differentiation that leads to somatic embryogenesis (SE). C15 is an unresponsive genotype (nonembryogenic), unable to express this morphogenetic pattern. Previously studies showed that addition of beta-D-glucosyl Yariv reagent (BGlcY), a synthetic phenyl-glycoside that specifically binds arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs), to the culture medium blocked somatic embryogenesis in chicory root explants in a concentration-dependent manner with complete inhibition of induction occurring at 250 ÂµM of BGlcY (Chapmann et al. 2000a). A putative AGP (DT212818) encoding gene was previously found significantly over-expressed in the K59 as compared to the C15 and was suggested to be involved in chicory re-differentiation. To better understand the cell reactivation events, a treatment with BGlcY was applied in order to precipitate AGPs in muro and to block the in vitro cell re-differentiation processes. The two different genotypes together with BGlcY represented an original tool to discriminate cell reactivation events from cell fate determination. Microscopy, biochemical and transcriptome analyses showed that in vitro SE in chicory was blocked during BGlcY-treatment but cell reactivation still occurred. Consequently, AGP (DT212818) seems to be only important in cell fate determination leading to SE commitment. Gene expression profiles showed in addition to the AGP, other proteins could play a role in SE determination: 26S proteasome AAA ATPase subunit 6 (RPT6), remorin (REM), metallothionein 1 (MT1), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reductase). Cell wall events during BGlcY-treatment were observed and discussed. Gene expression of K59 explants induced (d4) was compared with gene expression of K59 explants without induction (d0). Gene expression of K59 explants induced in the presence of BGlcY (Y+; d4) was next compared with gene expression of K59 explants induced in the absence of BGlcY (Y-; d4). Similar comparisons were made for C15 leaf explants. To link up both genotypes, direct comparison was done between gene expression of K59 explants without induction (d0) and C15 explants without induction (d0). Three biological replicates were used for each analysed condition. Dye labelling for each paired sample was reversed in two subsequent individual hybridizations giving rise to a total of six hybridizations per condition except for the K59_D0_vs_C15_D0 condition.

Project description:Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of life-threatening burden around the world. The heart has a very low regeneration capacity and donor organs for transplantation are scarce. Therefore regeneration of lost myocardium with stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs) provides an attractive strategy for heart repair. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can be efficiently differentiated in vitro into CMs but the molecular mechanisms behind this process are still not fully understood. In particular identification of secreted autocrine and/or paracrine factors that function as important extrinsic signals remained elusive because the mass spectrometry (MS)-based identification of secreted proteins from cell culture supernatants is impeded by high levels of albumin present in common differentiation media. Thus we established an albumin-free cardiomyogenic differentiation medium and performed secretomics at seven different time points during in vitro differentiation. This analysis led to the identification of 4832 proteins with 1802 being significantly altered during differentiation and 431 of these were annotated as secreted according to gene ontology. Bioinformatics revealed enrichment of extrinsic Wnt pathway-related proteins 3 days upon induction of differentiation and of extracellular matrix proteins in the resulting CMs. Numerous extrinsic components of Wnt, Activin A, Nodal, TGFβ, BMP or FGF signaling pathways were quantitatively assessed during differentiation. Notably, the abundance of pathway agonists was generally lower compared to the respective antagonists but their curves of progression over timer were rather similar. We hypothesize that Activin A, Nodal and TGFβ signaling are turned down shortly upon initiation of cardiac differentiation whereas BMP signaling is switched on. Wnt and FGF signaling peaks between d0 and d3 of differentiation and interestingly, Activin A and TGFβ signaling seem to be reactivated at the cardiac progenitor stages and/or in early CMs.

Project description:Dosage imbalance of X-chromosomal genes contributes to sex differences, in particular during early development, when both X chromosomes are active in females. X-encoded inhibitors of the differentiation-promoting MAP kinase (MAPK) signalling pathway slow down development, increase levels of naive pluripotency factors and decrease MAPK target gene expression. Through a hierarchical CRISPR screening approach in murine embryonic stem cells (mESC) we have comprehensively identified X-linked genes that modulate MAPK signalling, pluripotency factor expression and differentiation. We show that multiple genes act in concert to drive sex differences in mESC. Dusp9, a known negative regulator of the MAPK pathway alters phosphorylation of MAPK pathway intermediates in female cells, while Klhl13 underlies differences in pluripotency factor expression and differentiation by targeting differentiation-promoting factors for degradation. Klhl13 is a member of the Cullin 3 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, where it acts as a substrate adaptor to target proteins for proteasomal degradation (Dhanoa et al., 2013). We reasoned that the Klhl13-mediated sex differences we have identified might be due to reduced protein abundance of Klhl13 substrate proteins in female compared to male cells, which affect pluripotency factors, differentiation and MAPK target gene expression. To identify Klhl13 substrates in mESCs, we comprehensively profiled Klhl13 interaction partners and then selected those with increased protein levels in K13-HOM mutant cells. To identify interaction partners, we ectopically expressed either full-length Klhl13 or the substrate-binding Kelch domain, tagged with a green fluorescent protein (GFP), and identified binding partners by Immunoprecipitation-Mass Spectrometry (IP-MS) using a GFP-specific antibody. These experiments were performed in female mESCs with a homozygous Klhl13 deletion. By using this approach, we identify Scml2 and Alg13 as Klhl13 substrates.
