Human Cardiac-Derived Stem/Progenitor Cells Fine-Tune Monocyte-Derived Descendants Activities toward Cardiac Repair.

ABSTRACT: Cardiac repair following MI relies on a finely regulated immune response involving sequential recruitment of monocytes to the injured tissue. Monocyte-derived cells are also critical for tissue homeostasis and healing process. Our previous findings demonstrated the interaction of T and natural killer cells with allogeneic human cardiac-derived stem/progenitor cells (hCPC) and suggested their beneficial effect in the context of cardiac repair. Therefore, we investigated here whether monocytes and their descendants could be also modulated by allogeneic hCPC toward a repair/anti-inflammatory phenotype. Through experimental in vitro assays, we assessed the impact of allogeneic hCPC on the recruitment, functions and differentiation of monocytes. We found that allogeneic hCPC at steady state or under inflammatory conditions can incite CCL-2/CCR2-dependent recruitment of circulating CD14+CD16- monocytes and fine-tune their activation toward an anti-inflammatory profile. Allogeneic hCPC also promoted CD14+CD16- monocyte polarization into anti-inflammatory/immune-regulatory macrophages with high phagocytic capacity and IL10 secretion. Moreover, hCPC bended the differentiation of CD14+CD16- monocytes to dendritic cells (DCs) toward anti-inflammatory macrophage-like features and impaired their antigen-presenting function in favor of immune-modulation. Collectively, our results demonstrate that allogeneic hCPC could reshape monocytes, macrophages as well as DCs responses by favoring their anti-inflammatory/tolerogenic activation/polarization. Thereby, therapeutic allogeneic hCPC might also contribute to post-infarct myocardial healing by modeling the activities of monocytes and their derived descendants.

Project description:Transcription of the human mitochondrial genome and correct processing of the two long polycistronic transcripts are crucial for oxidative phosphorylation. According to the tRNA punctuation model, nucleolytic processing of these large precursor transcripts occurs mainly through the excision of the tRNAs that flank most rRNAs and mRNAs. However, some mRNAs are not punctuated by tRNAs, and it remains largely unknown how these non-canonical junctions are resolved. The FASTK family proteins are emerging as key players in non-canonical RNA processing. Here, we have generated human cell lines carrying single or combined knockouts of several FASTK family members to investigate their roles in non-canonical RNA processing. The most striking phenotypes were obtained with loss of FASTKD4 and FASTKD5 and with their combined double knockout. Comprehensive mitochondrial transcriptome analyses of these cell lines revealed a defect in processing at several canonical and non-canonical RNA junctions, accompanied by an increase in specific antisense transcripts. Loss of FASTKD5 led to the most severe phenotype with marked defects in mitochondrial translation of key components of the electron transport chain complexes and in oxidative phosphorylation. We reveal that the FASTK protein family members are crucial regulators of non-canonical junction and non-coding mitochondrial RNA processing. Author summary As a legacy of their bacterial origin, mitochondria have retained their own genome with a unique gene expression system. All mitochondrially encoded proteins are essential components of the respiratory chain. Therefore, the mitochondrial gene expression is crucial for their iconic role as the ‘powerhouse of the cell’–ATP synthesis through oxidative phosphorylation. Consistently, defects in enzymes involved in this gene expression system are a common source of incurable inherited metabolic disorders, called mitochondrial diseases. The human mitochondrial transcription generates long polycistronic transcripts that carry information for multiple genes, so that the expression level of each gene is mainly regulated through post-transcriptional events. The polycistronic transcript first undergoes RNA processing, where individual mRNA, rRNA, and tRNA are cleaved off. However, its entire molecular mechanism remains unclear, and in particular, ‘non-canonical’ RNA processing has been poorly understood. To address this question, we studied the FASTK family proteins, emerging key mitochondrial post-transcriptional regulators. We generated different human cell lines carrying single or combined disruption of FASTKD3, FASTKD4, and FASTKD5 genes, and analyzed them using biochemical and genetic approaches. We show that the FASTK family members fine-tune the processing of both ‘canonical’ and ‘non-canonical’ mitochondrial RNA junctions.
