Project description:We used single-cell RNA-seq to reconstruct differentiation paths of cardiac progenitors in two sequential waves during early heart development. Further analysis identified six major cell types and multiple differentiation trajectories of cardiac progenitors derived from distinct heart fields. We also constructed TF regulatory networks controlling SHF CPC differentiation. Interlineage crosstalk through signaling pathways and chemotactic guidance played a potent role in SHF CPC deployment. The mechanisms regulating SHF CPC migration and differentiation was further confirmed by Nkx2-5 enhancer knock out. Our work provides a cardiac lineage hierarchy and new insights into SHF CPC development. Mechanistically, NKX2-5 directly bound the Cxcr2 genomic locus and activated its transcription.

Project description:Cardiac development arises from two sources of mesoderm progenitors, the first (FHF) and the second heart field (SHF). Mesp1 has been proposed to mark the most primitive multipotent cardiac progenitors common for both heart fields. Here, using clonal analysis of the earliest prospective cardiovascular progenitors in a temporally controlled manner during the early gastrulation, we found that Mesp1 progenitors consist of two temporally distinct pools of progenitors restricted to either the FHF or the SHF. FHF progenitors were unipotent, while SHF progenitors, were either uni- or bipotent. Microarray and single cell RT-PCR analysis of Mesp1 progenitors revealed the existence of molecularly distinct populations of Mesp1 progenitors, consistent with their lineage and regional contribution. Altogether, these results provide evidence that heart development arises from distinct populations of unipotent and bipotent cardiac progenitors that independently express Mesp1 at different time points during their specification, revealing that the regional segregation and lineage restriction of cardiac progenitors occurs very early during gastrulation. We used microarrays to characterize the molecular mechanisms that control Mesp1 progenitor specification and lineage segregation during the early stage of cardiac mesoderm formation, 50 Mesp1 H2B-GFP+ or Mesp1 H2B-GFP- cells at E6.5 or E7.5 from mouse embryos were sorted for RNA extraction, amplification and hybridization on Affimetrix microarrays. Microaarrays were performed on Mouse Genome 430 PM strip Affymetrix array. The overall design was repeated in two different biological samples.

Project description:Progenitor cells of the first and second heart fields (FHF and SHF) depend on cardiac-specific transcription factors for their differentiation. In mouse mutant embryos, we define the hierarchy of signaling events that controls the expression of cardiac-specific transcription factors during commitment of SHF progenitors at E9.25. Wnt and Bmp act downstream of Notch/RBPJ at this developmental stage. Mutation of Axin2, the negative regulator of canonical Wnt signaling, enhances Wnt and Bmp signals and suffices to rescue the cardiac differentiation arrest caused by loss of RBPJ. By analysis of isolated cardiac progenitors, embryo cultures in the presence of pharmacological inhibitors, and Bmp triple mutants, we could classify the expression of heart-specific transcription factors of SHF progenitors according to their dependence on either Wnt or Bmp signals, Nkx2-5, Isl1, Baf60c and Gata4, SRF, Mef2c, respectively. Total RNA from whole embryonic hearts of control mice was compared to MesP1-cre:RBPJlox/lox (KO), MesP1-cre:RBPJlox/lox//Axin2-/- (DKO), MesP1-cre:RBPJlox/+//Axin2-/- (hetDKO) and MesP1-cre:RBPJlox/lox//Axin2+/- (DKOhet) mutant mouse embryos.

Project description:Mamamlian cardiogenesis occurs through the development of discreate populations of first and second heart field progenitors. We have used a dual transgenic color reproter system to isolate purified populations of these progenitors. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cardiac development in mouse; All four populations of cells are derived from embryonic stem cells differentiating in vitro (day 6 of in vitro differentaition). The stem cell line has two transgenic reporters as follows:; 1. The second heart field (SHF) specific reporter of the Mef2C gene (E. Dodou, S. M. Xu, B. L. Black, Mech Dev 120, 1021 (Sep, 2003)) driving the expression of dsRed; 2. The cardiac specific enhancer ( C. L. Lien et al., Development 126, 75 (Jan, 1999)) driving the expression of eGFP. Thus, the red cells are SHF specific, the green cells are cardiac specific, and the red/green are SHF and cardiac specific. These cells are compared to the double negative cells which serve as a control. Experiment Overall Design: Embryonic stem cell derived progenitors were isolated into four distinct populations by FACS purifying these progenitors based on a two color reporter system. Four populations were then compared to each other by transcriptional profiling.

Project description:Co-development of the lungs and heart underlies key evolutionary innovations in the transition to terrestrial life. Cardiac specializations that support pulmonary circulation, including the atrial septum, are generated by second heart field (SHF) cardiopulmonary progenitors (CPPs). It has been presumed that transcription factors required in the SHF for cardiac septation, e.g. Tbx5, directly drive a cardiac morphogenesis gene regulatory network. Here, we report instead that TBX5 directly drove Wnt ligands to initiate a bi-directional signaling loop between cardiopulmonary mesoderm and the foregut endoderm for endodermal pulmonary specification, and subsequently, atrial septation. TBX5 ChIP-seq identified cis-regulatory elements at Wnt2 sufficient for endogenous Wnt2 expression domains in vivo and required for Wnt2 expression in pre-cardiac mesoderm in vitro. Thus, Tbx5 initiated a mesoderm-endoderm-mesoderm signaling loop in lunged vertebrates that provides a molecular basis for the co-evolution of pulmonary and cardiac structures required for terrestrial life.

Project description:Development of the vertebrate heart requires the appropriate integration of temporally-distinct differentiating progenitor populations. While factors that promote accrual of later-differentiating second heart field (SHF)-derived cells to the outflow tract (OFT) have been intensively investigated, few signals are understood that specifically restrict the size of the vertebrate OFT. Here, we show that improper specification and proliferation of SHF progenitors in zebrafish lazarus (lzr) mutants, which lack the transcription factor Pbx4, produces enlarged hearts with a specific increase in ventricular cardiomyocytes and smooth muscle cells within the OFT. Specifically, optogenetic lineage-tracing demonstrates Pbx4 initially promotes the proper partitioning of the SHF into anterior progenitors, which contribute to the OFT, and adjacent endothelial cell progenitors, which contribute to posterior pharyngeal arch arteries. Subsequently, Pbx4 also limits the size of the SHF through repressing SHF progenitor proliferation. Single-cell RNA sequencing of nkx2.5+ cells revealed that the enlarged SHF progenitor population within Pbx4-deficient embryos assimilates characteristics of normally distinct proliferative and more anterior, differentiated cardiomyocyte populations. Therefore, the generation of proper OFT size and great arteries in vertebrates requires Pbx-dependent stratification of unique progenitor differentiation states to facilitate homeotic-like transformations and limit progenitor production within the SHF.

Project description:Efficient differentiation of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into cardiac cells is essential for the development of new therapeutic modalities to repair damaged heart tissue. We identified a novel cell surface marker, the G protein-coupled receptor lysophosphatidic acid receptor 4 (LPAR4), specific to cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) and determined its functional significance and therapeutic potential. During in vitro differentiation of mouse and human PSCs toward cardiac lineage, LPAR4 expression peaked after 3−7 days of differentiation in cardiac progenitors and then declined. In vivo, LPAR4 was specifically expressed in the early stage of embryonal heart development, and as development progressed, LPAR4 expression decreased and was non-specifically distributed. We identified the effective agonist octadecenyl phosphate and a p38 MAPK blocker, as the downstream signal blocker. Sequential stimulation and inhibition of LPAR4 using these agents enhanced the in vitro efficiency of cardiac differentiation from mouse and human PSCs. Importantly, in vivo, this sequential stimulation and inhibition of LPAR4 reduced the infarct size and rescued heart dysfunction in mice. In conclusion, LPAR4 is a novel CPC marker transiently expressed only in heart during embryo development. Modulation of LPAR4-positive cells may be a promising strategy for repairing myocardium after myocardial infarction.
