MED12cKO heart ventricles from male mice [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The Mediator complex regulates gene transcription by linking basal transcriptional machinery with DNA-bound transcription factors. The activity of the Mediator complex is mainly controlled by a kinase submodule that is comprised of four proteins, including MED12. Although ubiquitously expressed, Mediator subunits can differentially regulate gene expression in a tissue-specific manner. Here, we report that MED12 is required for normal cardiac function such that mice with conditional cardiac-specific deletion of MED12 display progressive dilated cardiomyopathy. Loss of MED12 perturbs expression of calcium handling genes in the heart, consequently altering calcium cycling in cardiomyocytes and disrupting cardiac electrical activity. We identified transcription factors that regulate expression of calcium-handling genes that are downregulated in the heart in the absence of MED12, and found that MED12 localizes to transcription factor consensus sequences within calcium handling genes. We showed that MED12 interacts with one such transcription factor, MEF2, in cardiomyocytes, and that MED12 and MEF2 co-occupy promoters of calcium handling genes. Furthermore, we demonstrated that MED12 enhances MEF2 transcriptional activity and overexpression of both increases expression of calcium handling genes in cardiomyocytes. Our data support a role for MED12 as a coordinator of transcription through MEF2 and other transcription factors. We conclude that MED12 is a regulator of a network of calcium handling genes, consequently “mediating” contractility in the mammalian heart.

YAP-TEAD multiphasic activation regulates pluripotent stem cell mechanics to drive cardiac specification and contractility in pathological heart.

Project description:YAP transcriptional regulator controls cell mechanics by activating genes involved in cell-matrix interaction following extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling and stiffening. YAP is needed for cardiogenesis in mouse but is repressed in adult cardiomyocytes. The protein is reactivated following ischemic insults, although the timing and mechanisms underlying YAP depletion during heart development and the reason for its reactivation are unclear. Here, we combine pluripotent stem cell (PSC) cardiac differentiation, mouse embryo development and human heart tissue analysis to demonstrate that the fine-tuning of cell mechanics, as controlled by YAP multiphasic activation through TEAD transcription, is crucial for mesoderm commitment and cardiac progenitor specification. Finally, by adopting induced PSC models of dilated cardiomyopathy, we prove that YAP-TEAD reactivation in diseased cardiomyocytes empowers calcium handling apparatus and increases cell contractility. Given YAP prompt activation following myocardial infarction, we unveil a novel role for mechanosensing in connecting ECM remodelling to cardiomyocyte function in pathological heart.

RNA-sequencing analysis of ZsYellow-negative cells and ZsYellow-positive cardiopharyngeal progenitors and cardiomyocytes purified from the same 14-16 somites stage Tg(nkx2.5:ZsYellow) zebrafish embryos

Project description:The identification of novel cardiomyocyte-intrinsic factors that support ventricular function will expand the number of candidate genes and therapeutic options for heart failure, a leading cause of death worldwide. Here, we demonstrate that a conserved RNA-binding protein RBPMS2 is required for ventricular function in zebrafish and for myofibril organization and the regulation of intracellular calcium dynamics in zebrafish and human cardiomyocytes. A differential expression screen uncovered co-expression of rbpms2a and rbpms2b in zebrafish cardiomyocytes. Double knockout embryos suffer from compromised ventricular filling during the relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle, which significantly reduces cardiac output. Evaluating rbpms2-null embryos with splicing-sensitive differential expression analysis, quantitative PCR, and in situ hybridization revealed differential alternative splicing of cardiomyopathy genes including myosin binding protein C3 (mybpc3) and phospholamban (pln). Cardiomyocytes in double mutant ventricles and those derived from RBPMS2-null human induced pluripotent stem cells exhibit myofibril disarray and calcium handling abnormalities. Taken together, our data suggest that RBPMS2 performs a conserved role in regulating alternative splicing in cardiomyocytes, which is required for sarcomere organization, optimal calcium handling, and cardiac function.

Secreted-frizzled-related protein 5 modulates calcium handling in human iPSC-cardiomyocytes

Project description:End-stage heart failure caused by myocardial injury is a leading cause of death in the developed world, with high prevalence and poor prognosis. Current therapies focus on attenuating cardiac remodeling after a cardiovascular event such as myocardial infarction or pressure overload, but no therapy is currently available to halt or reverse disease progression. Recent studies have suggested a cardioprotective function of the Wnt5a inhibitor secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) in preventing adverse cardiac remodeling. However, until now, the underlying molecular mechanisms of SFRP5 treatment in the human heart are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the mechanistic and functional consequences of SFRP5 by establishing knockout and overexpression models in human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. Transcriptome profiling and deep pathway analysis revealed an involvement of SFRP5 in the regulation of calcium handling, cardiac contraction, and apoptosis. Functional analysis of iPSC-cardiomyocytes by live-cell calcium imaging confirmed the regulatory role of SFRP5 on calcium homeostasis. Our study uncovered a novel role of SFRP5 as a modulator of calcium handling, providing a deeper molecular understanding of the cardioprotective role of SFRP5 in the human heart.

Title Page Cardiac Gene Therapy Rescues Diabetic Cardiomyopathy and Lowers Blood Glucose

Project description:Diabetic cardiomyopathy, an increasingly global epidemic and a major cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), is associated with hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and intra-cardiomyocyte calcium mishandling. Here we identify that, in db/db mice with type 2 diabetes induced HFpEF, abnormal remodeling of cardiomyocyte transverse-tubule microdomains occurs with downregulation of the membrane scaffolding protein cardiac bridging integrator 1 (cBIN1). Transduction of cBIN1 by AAV9 gene therapy can restore transverse-tubule microdomains to normalize intracellular distribution of calcium handling proteins and, surprisingly, glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4). Cardiac proteomics revealed that AAV9-cBIN1 normalizes components of calcium handling and GLUT4 translocation machineries. Functional studies further identified that AAV9-cBIN1 normalizes insulin-dependent glucose uptake in diabetic cardiomyocytes. Phenotypically, AAV9-cBIN1 rescues cardiac lusitropy, improves exercise intolerance, and ameliorates hyperglycemia in diabetic mice. Restoration of transverse-tubule microdomains can improve cardiac function in the setting of diabetic cardiomyopathy, and also improve systemic glycemic control.

Connecting Transcriptomics with Computational Modeling to Reveal Developmental Adaptations in Pediatric Human Atrial Tissue

Project description:Nearly 1% of babies are born with congenital heart disease (CHD) – many of whom will require heart surgery within the first few years of life. A detailed understanding of cardiac maturation can help to expand our knowledge on cardiac diseases that develop during gestation, identify age-appropriate drug therapies, and inform clinical care decisions related to surgical repair and postoperative management. Yet, to date, our knowledge of the temporal changes that cardiomyocytes undergo during postnatal development is limited. In this study, we collected right atrial tissue samples from pediatric patients (n=117) undergoing heart surgery. Patients were stratified into five age groups. We measured age-dependent adaptations in cardiac gene expression, and used computational modeling to simulate action potential and calcium transients. Enrichment of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) revealed age-dependent changes in several key biological processes (e.g., cell cycle, structural organization), cardiac ion channels, and calcium handling genes. Gene-associated changes in ionic currents exhibited age-dependent trends, with changes in calcium handling (INCX) and repolarization (IK1) most strongly associated with an age-dependent decrease in the action potential plateau potential and increase in triangulation, respectively. We observed a shift in repolarization reserve, with lower IKr expression in younger patients, a finding potentially tied to an increased amplitude of IKs that could be triggered by elevated sympathetic activation in pediatric patients. Collectively, this study provides valuable insights into age-dependent changes in human cardiac gene expression and electrophysiology, shedding light on molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac maturation and function throughout development.

KMT2D regulates specific programs in heart development via histone H3 lysine 4 dimethylation

Project description:Histone modifying genes involved in histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation are critical for heart development, but the roles of these genes are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate a requirement for the H3K4 methyltransferase KMT2D in cardiac precursors and cardiomyocytes during cardiogenesis. Gene expression analysis revealed upregulation of hypoxia response genes, as well as downregulation of ion transport and cell cycle genes, leading to altered calcium handling and cell cycle defects. We further determined that myocardial Kmt2d deletion led to decreased H3K4me2 at promoters and enhancers. Finally, we identified KMT2D binding regions in cardiomyocytes, of which a subset was associated with decreased gene expression and decreased H3K4me2 in mutant hearts. This subset included genes related to ion transport, hypoxia-reoxygenation and cell cycle regulation, suggesting that KMT2D is important for these processes. Our findings indicate that KMT2D is essential for regulating cardiac gene expression during heart development via H3K4 dimethylation.

Interplay between calcium cycling and sarcomeres directs cardiomyocyte redifferentiation and maturation during regeneration

Project description:Zebrafish hearts can regenerate by replacing damaged tissue with new cardiomyocytes. Although the steps leading up to the proliferation of surviving cardiomyocytes have been extensively studied, little is known about the mechanisms that control proliferation and redifferentiation to a mature state. We found that the cardiac dyad, a structure that regulates calcium handling and excitation-contraction coupling, played a key role in the redifferentiation process. A component of the cardiac dyad called leucine-rich repeat–containing 10 (Lrrc10) acted as a negative regulator of proliferation, prevented cardiomegaly, and induced redifferentiation. We found that its function was conserved in mammalian cardiomyocytes. This study highlights the importance of the underlying mechanisms required for heart regeneration and their application to the generation of fully functional cardiomyocytes.
