Vitamin D globally accelerates growth and regeneration in zebrafish

ABSTRACT: Animals possess control mechanisms to synchronize organ and organismal size during growth, to maintain tissue integrity through homeostatic cell proliferation, and to counter major injury with regeneration. A principal research goal is to elucidate mitogenic triggers that underlie these mechanisms. Here, from a large-scale in vivo chemical screen, we discovered that analogues of the essential nutrient vitamin D potently activate heart muscle cell division in larval zebrafish. Unexpectedly, loss- and gain-of-function methods to modulate vitamin D signaling altered metabolic and cell cycle gene expression in zebrafish larvae and dictated rates of organismal growth. Systemic vitamin D treatment sharply increased in vivo cell proliferation in a variety of adult cell types including cardiomyocytes, hepatocytes, osteoblasts, cardiac mesothelium, skin and corneal epithelium, and retina, and enhanced injury-induced heart and appendage regeneration. Our experiments identify vitamin D signaling as a broad growth- and regeneration-initiating influence throughout the life stages of a vertebrate model system.

Amino acid priming of mTOR is essential for heart regeneration

Project description:For a short period of time in mammalian neonates, the mammalian heart can regenerate via cardiomyocyte proliferation. This regenerative capacity is largely absent in adults. In other organisms, including zebrafish, damaged hearts can regenerate throughout their lifespans. Many studies have been performed to understand the mechanisms of cardiomyocyte de-differentiation and proliferation during heart regeneration however, the underlying reason why adult zebrafish and young mammalian cardiomyocytes are primed to enter cell cycle have not been identified. Here we show the primed state of a pro-regenerative cardiomyocyte is dictated by its amino acid profile and metabolic state. Adult zebrafish cardiomyocyte regeneration is a result of amino acid-primed mTOR activation. Zebrafish and neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes display elevated glutamine levels, predisposing them to amino acid-driven activation of mTORC1. Injury initiates Wnt/β-catenin signalling that instigates primed mTORC1 activation, Lin28 expression and metabolic remodeling necessary for zebrafish cardiomyocyte regeneration. These studies reveal a unique mTORC1 primed state in zebrafish and mammalian regeneration competent cardiomyocytes.

Telomerase is essential for zebrafish heart regeneration

Project description:Unlike human hearts, zebrafish hearts efficiently regenerate after injury. Regeneration is driven by the strong proliferation response of its cardiomyocytes to injury. In this study, we show that active telomerase is required for cardiomyocyte proliferation and full organ recovery, supporting the potential of telomerase therapy as a means of stimulating cell proliferation upon myocardial infarction. Heart transcriptomes of WT and telomerase defective adult zebrafish animals were profiled by RNASeq, in control conditions and 3 days after heart cryoinjury.

Hand2 delineates mesothelium progenitors and is reactivated in mesothelioma

Project description:The mesothelium forms epithelial membranes that line the bodies cavities and surround the internal organs. Mesothelia widely contribute to organ homeostasis and regeneration, and their dysregulation can result in congenital anomalies of the viscera, ventral wall defects, and mesothelioma tumors. Nonetheless, the embryonic ontogeny and developmental regulation of mesothelium formation has remained uncharted. Here, we combine genetic lineage tracing, in toto live imaging, and single-cell transcriptomics in zebrafish to track mesothelial progenitor origins from the lateral plate mesoderm (LPM). Our single-cell analysis uncovers a post-gastrulation gene expression signature centered on hand2 that delineates distinct progenitor populations within the forming LPM. Combining gene expression analysis and imaging of transgenic reporter zebrafish embryos, we chart the origin of mesothelial progenitors to the lateral-most, hand2-expressing LPM and confirm evolutionary conservation in mouse. Our time-lapse imaging of transgenic hand2 reporter embryos captures zebrafish mesothelium formation, documenting the coordinated cell movements that form pericardium and visceral and parietal peritoneum. We establish that the primordial germ cells migrate associated with the forming mesothelium as ventral migration boundary. Functionally, hand2 mutants fail to close the ventral mesothelium due to perturbed migration of mesothelium progenitors. Analyzing mouse and human mesothelioma tumors hypothesized to emerge from transformed mesothelium, we find de novo expression of LPM-associated transcription factors, and in particular of Hand2, indicating the re-initiation of a developmental transcriptional program in mesothelioma. Taken together, our work outlines a genetic and developmental signature of mesothelial origins centered around Hand2, contributing to our understanding of mesothelial pathologies and mesothelioma.

Single epicardial cell transcriptome sequencing identifies Caveolin-1 as an essential factor in zebrafish heart regeneration

Project description:By contrast with mammals, adult zebrafish have a high capacity to regenerate damaged or lost myocardium through proliferation of spared cardiomyocytes. The epicardial sheet covering the heart is activated by injury and aids muscle regeneration through paracrine effects and as a multipotent cell source, and has received recent attention as a target in cardiac repair strategies. While it is recognized that epicardium is required for muscle regeneration and itself has high regenerative potential, the extent of cellular heterogeneity within epicardial tissue is largely unexplored. In this study, we performed transcriptome analysis on dozens of epicardial lineage cells purified from zebrafish harboring a transgenic reporter for the pan-epicardial gene tcf21. Hierarchical clustering analysis suggested the presence of at least three epicardial cell subsets defined by expression signatures. We validated many new pan-epicardial and epicardial markers by alternative expression assays. Additionally, we explored the function of the scaffolding protein and main component of caveolae, caveolin-1 (cav1), which was present in each epicardial subset. In BAC transgenic zebrafish, cav1 regulatory sequences drove strong expression in ostensibly all epicardial cells and in coronary vascular endothelial cells. Moreover, cav1 mutant zebrafish generated by genome editing showed grossly normal heart development and adult cardiac anatomy, but displayed profound defects in injury-induced cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration. Our study defines a new platform for the discovery of epicardial lineage markers, genetic tools, and mechanisms of heart regeneration. Deep sequencing of isolated single epicardial cells

Transcriptome profiling times series of zebrafish heart regeneration

Project description:The zebrafish has the capacity to regenerate its heart after severe injury. While the function of a few genes during this process has been studied, we are far from fully understanding how genes interact to coordinate heart regeneration. To enable systematic insights into this phenomenon, we generated and integrated a dynamic co-expression network of heart regeneration in the zebrafish and linked systems-level properties to the underlying molecular events. Across multiple post-injury time points, the network displays topological attributes of biological relevance. We show that regeneration steps are mediated by modules of transcriptionally coordinated genes, and by genes acting as network hubs. We also established direct associations between hubs and validated drivers of heart regeneration with murine and human orthologs. The resulting models and interactive analysis tools are available at http://infused.vital-it.ch. Using a worked example, we demonstrate the usefulness of this unique open resource for hypothesis generation and in silico screening for genes involved in heart regeneration. In order to monitor the whole regeneration process, we recovered samples at different time points post-injury: 4 h, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days and 90 days (respectively 4 hpi, 1 dpi, 3 dpi, 7 dpi, 14 dpi and 90 dpi). Cryoinjured hearts were compared to healthy hearts from control fish in 3 independent experiments.

Transcriptome analysis of heart regeneration in adult zebrafish

Project description:After heart injury, adult zebrafish can perfectly regenerate its heart without any scar tissue left. We performed 100bp*2, paired-end, strand-specific, polyA-positive RNA-seq on hearts from 2 group of adult zebrafish, in which one was sham group and the other 7 days after heart tip amputation (7dpa). We found pathways involving hydrogen peroxidate related functions significantly up-regulated in 7dpa group, indicating its role in heart regeneration. RNA-seq: hearts from sham or 7dpa adult zebrafish

Vitamin D Receptor regulation of hepatic energy metabolism in zebrafish

Project description:Vitamin D deficiency and mutations in Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) are associated with liver disease and obesity, but the functions of vitamin D signaling in metabolism are poorly understood. Though vitamin D signaling is best known for its functions in mineral homeostasis and skeleton calcification in terrestrial vertebrates, this is unlikely to be the evolutionary function of vitamin D signaling. We utilize tissue-specific genetic modulation of Vdr signaling to investigate the function of the vitamin D endocrine system in zebrafish. We find that hepatocyte Vdr regulates organismal response to nutritional cues and coordinates hepatic and organismal energy metabolism by balancing energy storage and tissue growth.

Prrx1b restricts fibrosis and promotes Nrg1-dependent cardiomyocyte proliferation during zebrafish heart regeneration

Project description:Fibroblasts are activated to repair the heart following injury. Fibroblast activation in the mammalian heart leads to a permanent fibrotic scar that impairs cardiac function. In other organisms, such as zebrafish, cardiac injury is followed by transient fibrosis and scar-free regeneration. The mechanisms that drive scarring versus scar-free regeneration are not well understood. Here, we show that the homeobox-containing transcription factor Prrx1b is required for scar-free regeneration of the zebrafish heart as the loss of Prrx1b results in excessive fibrosis and impaired cardiomyocyte proliferation. Through lineage tracing and single-cell RNA sequencing we find that Prrx1b is activated in epicardial-derived cells where it restricts TGFβ ligand expression and collagen production. Furthermore, through combined in vitro experiments in human fetal epicardial-derived cells and in vivo rescue experiments in zebrafish, we conclude that Prrx1 stimulates Nrg1 expression and promotes cardiomyocyte proliferation. Collectively, these results indicate that Prrx1 is a key transcription factor that balances fibrosis and regeneration in the injured zebrafish heart.

An injury-associated transient progenitor state in the epicardium mediates heart regeneration

Project description:Adult zebrafish regenerate heart muscle after severe cardiac damage without significant scarring. The epicardium, a mesothelial cell sheet covering the vetebrate heart, is activated by injury and supports muscle regeneration through paracrine effects and as a source of multipotent cells. The understudied cellular heterogeneity of the adult epicardium during heart regeneration has constrained the effort in mobilizing the epicardium for heart repair. To dissect epicardial cell states and the underlying mechanisms that lead to successful heart regeneration in zebrafish, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing of isolated epicardial cells from the regenerating adult heart and revealed their dynamic cellular heterogeneity. We defined the epithelial and mesenchymal layers of the epicardium and identified a transiently activated epicardial progenitor cell (aEPC) subpopulation that expresses aldh1a2, ptx3a, col12a1b and marcksb. Upon heart amputation injury, aEPCs emerge from the existing epicardial cells, migrate to enclose the wound, and disappear as regeneration progresses. Genetic lineage tracing combined with modified RNA labelling confirmed an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process of aEPCs and their differentiations to pdgfrb+ mural cells and pdgfra+hapln1a+ mesenchymal fibroblast-like cells that support heart regeneration. Genetic ablation of aEPCs blocked wound closure of the injured ventricle, suppressed cardiomyocyte proliferation, and disrupted heart regeneration. Our findings define a transient progenitor state of the adult epicardium that is an indispensable driver of zebrafish heart regeneration and identified ptx3a as a regeneration-specific non-ontogenetic regulator of the epicardium.

Comparative transcriptome profiling of the injured zebrafish and mouse hearts identifies miRNA-dependent repair pathways

Project description:The mammalian heart has poor regenerative capacity following injury. In contrast, certain lower vertebrates such as zebrafish retain a robust capacity for regeneration into adult life. Here we use an integrated approach to identify evolutionary conserved regenerative miRNA-dependant regulatory circuits in the heart. We identified novel miRNA-dependant networks involved in critical biological pathways, which are differentially utilized between the infarcted mouse heart and the regenerating zebrafish heart. 2 conditions, 6 biological replicates per condition
