Project description:Cardiac malformations due to aberrant development of the atrioventricular (AV) valves are among the most common forms of congenital heart disease. At localized swellings of extracellular matrix known as the endocardial cushions, the endothelial lining of the heart undergoes an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) to form mesenchymal progenitors of the AV valves. Further growth and differentiation of these mesenchymal precursors results in formation of portions of the atrial and ventricular septae, and generation of thin, pliable valves. The transcription factor Gata4 is expressed in the endothelium and mesenchyme of the AV valves. Using a Tie2-Cre transgene, we selectively inactivated Gata4 within endothelial-derived cells. Mutant endothelium failed to undergo EMT, resulting in hypocellular cushions. Mutant cushions had decreased levels of Erbb3, an EGF-family receptor essential for EMT in the atrioventricular cushions. In Gata4 mutant embryos, Erbb3 downregulation was associated with impaired activation of Erk, which is also required for EMT. Expression of a Gata4 mutant protein defective in interaction with Friend of Gata (FOG) cofactors rescued the EMT defect, but resulted in decreased proliferation of mesenchyme and hypoplastic cushions that failed to septate the ventricular inlet. We demonstrate two novel functions of Gata4 in development of the AV valves. First, Gata4 functions as an upstream regulator of an Erbb3-Erk pathway necessary for EMT, and second, Gata4 acts to promote cushion mesenchyme growth and remodeling. Experiment Overall Design: To further investigate the role of Gata4 in EC development, we specifically inactivated Gata4 in endothelium and endothelium-derived cushion mesenchyme. All mice were maintained in a mixed C57BL6/129 genetic background. Gata4wt/flox; T2Cre+ mice were crossed with Gata4flox/flox mice to yield Gata4flox/flox (CONTROL); T2Cre+ (Gata4T2del) (MUTANT) mice.

Project description:This is an investigation of whole genome gene expression level in tissues of mice stimulated by LPS, FK565 or LPS + FK565 in vivo and ex vivo. We show that parenteral administration of a pure synthetic Nod1 ligand, FK565, induces site-specific vascular inflammation in mice, which is prominent in aortic root including aortic valves, slight in aorta and absent in other arteries. The degree of respective vascular inflammation is associated with persistent high expression of proinflammatory chemokine/cytokine genes in each tissue in vivo by microarray analysis, and not with Nod1 expression levels. The ex vivo production of proinflammatory chemokine/cytokine by Nod1 ligand is higher in aortic root than in other arteries from normal murine vascular tissues, and also higher in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) than in human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAEC), suggesting that site-specific vascular inflammation is at least in part ascribed to an intrinsic nature of the vascular tissue/cell itself.

A fourty chip study using total RNA recovered from four isolated tissues of mice which were stimulated by various reagents. Aortic root, pulmonary artery, aorta and spleen of mice in 3 groups: 1) intraperitoneal injection of 20M-NM-<g of LPS priming only, 2) oral administration of FK565 (100M-NM-<g) for consecutive days, 3) oral administration of FK565 (100M-NM-<g) for consecutive days 1 day after LPS priming, at day 2, 4, and 7. And six chip study using total RNA recovered from three isolated vascular tissues of mice which were stimulated by FK565 (10M-NM-<g/mL) ex vivo.

Project description:CD109 encodes a GPI-linked glycoprotein that acts as a signaling modulator in the TGF-β pathway. CD109 has emerged in several genome-wide association studies as linked to coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and angina pectoris. Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in CD109 have also been reported in patients with congenital heart defects, suggesting potential developmental relevance, though CD109 has never been investigated in the context of cardiovascular development. We previously identified Cd109 upregulation in murine atrioventricular valves undergoing myxomatous degeneration following a reduction of epicardial-derived cells. Here, we characterize Cd109 expression in the murine cardiovascular system and assess its function during development using in vitro and in vivo approaches. We found that Cd109 is strongly expressed in the endothelium of the coronary vasculature and in an endocardial-derived subpopulation in the atrioventricular valves. This expression persists through key stages in cardiovascular development. Western blotting and immunostaining confirm endothelial expression in heart and lung tissues. siRNA knockdown of CD109 in primary human endothelial cells led to dysregulation of vascular development pathways and decreased tube formation capacity. We generated Tie2Cre;Cd109fl/fl mice, eliminating Cd109 expression from heart and lung tissues without overt morphological consequences. Together, these results establish Cd109 as a useful marker of coronary vasculature in the heart and indicate that endothelial lineage-specific deletion of Cd109 does not cause gross morphological defects during cardiac development. The transcriptional and functional changes observed in endothelial cells in vitro suggest that additional studies will be necessary to define contexts in which Cd109 influences vascular biology.
