Single-cell transcriptomics reveals chemotaxis mediated intra-organ crosstalk during cardiogenesis [ChIP-seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: 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.
