Project description:Coronary heart disease damages the trabecular myocardium, and the regeneration of trabecular vessels may alleviate ischemic injury. However, the origins and developmental mechanisms of trabecular vessels remain unknown. Here, we show that murine ventricular endocardial cells generate trabecular vessels through an "angioEMT" mechanism. Time course fate mapping defined a specific wave of trabecular vascularization by ventricular endocardial cells. Single-cell transcriptomics and immunofluorescence identified a subpopulation of ventricular endocardial cells that underwent endocardial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) before these cells generated trabecular vessels. Ex vivo pharmacological activation and in vivo genetic inactivation experiments identified an EMT signal in ventricular endocardial cells involving SNAI2-TGFB2/TGFBR3, which was a prerequisite for later trabecular-vessel formation. Additional loss- and gain-of-function genetic studies showed that VEGFA-NOTCH1 signaling regulated post-EMT trabecular angiogenesis by ventricular endocardial cells. Our finding that trabecular vessels originate from ventricular endocardial cells through a two-step angioEMT mechanism could inform better regeneration medicine for coronary heart disease.

Project description:The ang1-Tie2 pathway is required for normal vascular development, but its molecular effectors are not well-defined during cardiac ontogeny. Here we show that endocardial specific attenuation of Tie2 results in mid-gestation lethality due to heart defects associated with a hyperplastic but simplified trabecular meshwork (fewer but thicker trabeculae). Reduced proliferation and production of endocardial cells (ECs) following endocardial loss of Tie2 results in decreased endocardial sprouting required for trabecular assembly and extension. The hyperplastic trabeculae result from enhanced proliferation of trabecular cardiomyocyte (CMs), which is associated with upregulation of Bmp10, increased retinoic acid (RA) signaling, and Erk1/2 hyperphosphorylation in the myocardium. Intriguingly, myocardial phenotypes in Tie2-cko hearts could be partially rescued by inhibiting in utero RA signaling with pan-retinoic acid receptor antagonist BMS493. These findings reveal two complimentary functions of endocardial Tie2 during ventricular chamber formation: ensuring normal trabeculation by supporting EC proliferation and sprouting, and preventing hypertrabeculation via suppression of RA signaling in trabecular CMs.

Project description:We established a differentiation strategy to generate endocardial-like cells from hPSCs. Endocardial-like cells generated from our protocol display major functional properties of endocardium in developing embryo: they can induce trabecular markers in early hPSC-derived ventricular cardiomyocytes and they can undergo endothelial-to-mesenchymal-trasition under appropriate conditions. Furthermore, the transcriptome of our in vitro generated endocardial cells showed a very high level of correlation to that of primary fetal endocardial cells. Functional properties and transcriptional profile of hPSC-derived endocardial cells were also compared to those of control (non-endocardial) endothelial cells. For scRNA-seq analysis live cells from bulk endocardial and control endothelial differentiation cultures were labeled with two different sets of anti-human Hashtag antibodies before sequencing. Single cell RNA sequencing was carried out on a sample consisting of 85% bulk endocardial cells (TotalSeq-A0255 anti-human Hashtag 5 antibody, BioLegend) and 15% bulk control endothelial cells (TotalSeq-A0254 anti-human Hashtag 4, Biolegend).

Project description:Fibronectin mediates Endothelial-to-mesenchymal Transition in retina angiogenesis
| PRJNA1221932 | ENA
Project description:Purpose: To investigate the role of endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) in pathological retinal angiogenesis and identify key molecular mediators in retina angiogenesis. Methods: RNA sequencing was performed on retinal tissue from oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mouse model to analyze gene expression patterns. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis was used to examine the correlation between EMT and angiogenesis gene sets. Fibronectin (FN1) expression was evaluated in endothelial cells, and its function was assessed through siRNA mediated knockdown in both in vitro angiogenesis assays and the OIR model. Results: EndoMT occurred early in retinal angiogenesis development, with significant correlation between EMT and angiogenesis gene sets. FN1 was identified as the most significantly upregulated EMT-related gene in endothelial cells. siRNA-mediated inhibition of FN1 effectively prevented VEGF-induced angiogenesis in vitro and reduced pathological angiogenesis in the OIR model. Conclusions: EndoMT is a crucial early event in pathological retinal angiogenesis, with FN1 serving as a key mediator. Targeting FN1 may provide a novel therapeutic strategy that could synergize with anti-VEGF treatments to more effectively treat pathological angiogenesis in DR and ROP, particularly in cases of poor response to anti-VEGF therapy alone.

Project description:Blood flow is critical for heart valve formation, and cellular mechanosensors are essential to translate flow into transcriptional regulation of development. Here, we identify a role for primary cilia in vivo in the spatial regulation of cushion formation, the first stage of valve development, by regionally controlling endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) via modulation of Kruppel-like Factor 4 (Klf4). We find that high shear stress intracardiac regions decrease endocardial ciliation over cushion development, correlating with KLF4 downregulation and EndoMT progression. Mouse embryos constitutively lacking heart contractility do not upregulate KLF4 or undergo EndoMT. snRNA-seq revealed that Ncx1-/- embryos failed to transition to early-EndoMT and have reduced mesenchymal markers.

Project description:Endocardial endothelium, which lines the chambers of the heart, is distinct in its origin, structure, and function. However, though functionally very important, no studies at protein level have been conducted so far characterizing endocardial endothelium. In this study, we used endothelial cells from pig heart to investigate if endocardial endothelial cells are distinct at the proteome level. Using a high throughput liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for proteome profiling and expression, we identified sets of proteins that belong to specific biological processes and metabolic pathways in endocardial endothelial cells supporting its specific structural and functional roles.

Project description:Blood flow is critical for heart valve formation, and cellular mechanosensors are essential to translate flow into transcriptional regulation of development. Here, we identify a role for primary cilia in vivo in the spatial regulation of cushion formation, the first stage of valve development, by regionally controlling endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) via modulation of Kruppel-like Factor 4 (Klf4). We find that high shear stress intracardiac regions decrease endocardial ciliation over cushion development, correlating with KLF4 downregulation and EndoMT progression. Mouse embryos constitutively lacking cilia exhibit a blood-flow dependent accumulation of KLF4 in these regions, independent of upstream left-right abnormalities, resulting in impaired cushion cellularization. snRNA-seq revealed that cilia KO endocardium fails to progress to late-EndoMT, retains endothelial markers and has reduced EndoMT/mesenchymal genes that KLF4 antagonizes. Together, these data identify a mechanosensory role for endocardial primary cilia in cushion development through regional regulation of KLF4.

Project description:Normal blood flow is essential for proper heart formation during embryonic development, as abnormal hemodynamic load (blood pressure and shear stress) results in cardiac defects seen in congenital heart disease. However, the progressive detrimental remodeling processes that relate altered blood flow to cardiac defects remain unclear. Outflow tract banding was used to increase hemodynamic load in the chicken embryo heart between Hamburger and Hamilton stages 18 and 24. Increased hemodynamic load induced increased cell density in outflow tract cushions, fewer cells along the endocardial lining, endocardium junction disruption, and altered periostin expression as measured by confocal microscopy analysis. Proteomic mass-spectrometry analysis quantified altered protein composition after banding.
