RNA Expression Profiling of Human iPSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes in a Cardiac Hypertrophy Model [miRNA expression]

ABSTRACT: Cardiac hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and heart failure. There is increasing evidence that microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the regulation of messenger RNA (mRNA) and the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases. However, the ability to comprehensively study cardiac hypertrophy on a gene regulatory level is impacted by the limited availability of human cardiomyocytes. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) offer the opportunity for disease modeling. We utilized a previously established in vitro model of cardiac hypertrophy to interrogate the regulatory mechanism associated with the cardiac disease process. We performed miRNA sequencing and mRNA expression analysis on endothelin 1 (ET-1) stimulated hiPSC-CMs to describe associated RNA expression profiles. MicroRNA sequencing revealed over 250 known and 34 predicted novel miRNAs to be differentially expressed between ET-1stimulated and unstimulated control hiPSC-CMs. Messenger RNA expression analysis identified 731 probe sets with significant differential expression. Computational target prediction on significant differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs identified nearly 2000 target pairs. To characterize miRNA and mRNA expression patterns we utilized iCell Cardiomyocytes derived from human iPSCs (hiPSC-CMs). Based on preliminary dose-response and time-course studies, we stimulated these cells with ET-1 at 10-8M for 18h. We used unstimulated control (control-CM) and ET-1 stimulated (ET1-CM) hiPSCs from 3 separate experiments as triplicate data for this study. For the analysis of miRNA expression changes after ET-1 stimulation, single-end small RNA sequencing was performed using the Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGMTM) sequencing platform.

Project description:Cardiac hypertrophy is an important and independent risk factor for the development of cardiac myopathy that may lead to heart failure. Cardiac hypertrophy manifests as an enlargement of the individual cardiomyocytes, which impairs the function of the heart. The only way to cure end-stage cardiac myopathy is by heart transplantation, a possibility limited due to lack of donor hearts. Therefore, early diagnosis of cardiac hypertrophy is needed in order to be able to initiate interventions that may prevent further progression of the disease. The mechanisms underlying the development of cardiac hypertrophy are yet not well understood. To increase the knowledge about mechanisms and regulatory pathways involved in the progression of cardiac hypertrophy, we have developed a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-based in vitro model of cardiac hypertrophy and performed extensive characterization of the model using multi-omics analyses. In a series of experiments, hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes were stimulated with Endothelin-1 for 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours and their transcriptome and secreted proteome were analyzed thoroughly. The transcriptomic data show many enriched canonical pathways related to cardiac hypertrophy already at the earliest time point, e.g., cardiac hypertrophy signaling, actin cytoskeleton signaling and PI3K/AKT signaling. Cluster analysis of the differentially expressed genes showed that there are numerous clusters of genes that are dysregulated over the time period of 8 to 72h. An integrated transcriptome-secretome analysis enabled the identification of multimodal biomarkers of high relevance for monitoring early cardiac hypertrophy progression. Taken together, the results from this study demonstrate that our in vitro model displays a hypertrophic response on transcriptomic- and secreted proteomic level. The results also provide novel insight into the underlying mechanisms of cardiac hypertrophy and novel putative early cardiac hypertrophy biomarkers have been identified that will be further validated to assess their clinical relevance.

Project description:ABSTRACT Background: Viral myocarditis is a life-threatening illness that may lead to heart failure or cardiac arrhythmias. This study examined whether human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) could be used to model the pathogenic processes of coxsackievirus-induced viral myocarditis and to screen antiviral therapeutics for efficacy. Methods and Results: Human iPSC-CMs were infected with a luciferase-expressing mutant of the coxsackievirus B3 strain (CVB3-Luc). Brightfield microscopy, immunofluorescence, and calcium imaging were used to characterize virally infected hiPSC-CMs. Viral proliferation on hiPSC-CMs was subsequently quantified using bioluminescence imaging. For drug screening, select antiviral compounds including interferon beta 1 (IFNβ1), ribavirin, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), and fluoxetine were tested for their capacity to abrogate CVB3-Luc proliferation in hiPSC-CMs in vitro. The ability of some of these compounds to reduce CVB3-Luc proliferation in hiPSC-CMs was consistent with the reported drug effects in previous studies. Finally, mechanistic analyses via gene expression profiling of hiPSC-CMs infected with CVB3-Luc revealed an activation of viral RNA and protein clearance pathways within these hiPSC-CMs after IFNβ1 treatment. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that hiPSC-CMs express the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor, are susceptible to coxsackievirus infection, and can be used to confirm antiviral drug efficacy. Our results suggest that the hiPSC-CM/CVB3-Luc assay is a sensitive platform that could be used to screen novel antiviral therapeutics for their effectiveness in a high-throughput fashion. For this experiment, human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes were infected with coxsackievirus at multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 5 for 8 hours. Cells were treated with and without interferon beta 1 in order to determine if treatment activates antiviral response genes and/or viral clearance pathways. 4 total samples (2 for each condition) were analyzed
