Enhanced cardiac reprogramming by Inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2/prostaglandin E2/prostaglandin E receptor 4 signaling

ABSTRACT: Direct cardiac reprogramming from fibroblasts can be a promising approach for disease modeling, drug screening, and cardiac regeneration in pediatric and adult patients. However, postnatal and adult fibroblasts are less efficient for reprogramming compared with embryonic fibroblasts, and barriers to cardiac reprogramming associated with aging remain undetermined. In this study, we screened 8,400 chemical compounds, and found that diclofenac sodium (diclofenac), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, greatly enhanced cardiac reprogramming in combination with Gata4, Mef2c, and Tbx5 (GMT) or GMT plus Hand2. Intriguingly, diclofenac promoted cardiac reprogramming in mouse postnatal and adult tail-tip fibroblasts (TTFs), but not in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Mechanistically, diclofenac enhanced cardiac reprogramming by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2, prostaglandin E2/prostaglandin E receptor 4, cyclic AMP/protein kinase A, and interleukin 1b pathway, silencing inflammatory and fibroblast programs, which were activated in postnatal and adult TTFs. Thus, anti-inflammation can be a new target for cardiac reprogramming associated with aging.

Chemical Enhancement of Direct Cardiac Reprogramming In Vitro and In Vivo

Project description:Reprogramming of cardiac fibroblasts into induced cardiomyocyte-like cells (iCMs) in situ represents a promising strategy for cardiac regeneration. A combination of three cardiac transcription factors, Gata4, Mef2c and Tbx5 (GMT), can convert fibroblasts into iCMs, albeit with low efficiency in vitro. Here, we screened 5,500 compounds in primary cardiac fibroblasts and found that a combination of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β inhibitor SB431542 and the WNT inhibitor XAV939 increased reprogramming efficiency eight-fold when added to GMT-overexpressing cardiac fibroblasts. The small-molecules also enhanced the speed and the quality of cell conversion, as we observed beating cells as early as 1 week after reprogramming compared to 6–8 weeks with GMT alone. In vivo, mice exposed to GMT, SB431542, and XAV939 for 2 weeks after myocardial infarction showed significantly improved reprogramming and cardiac function compared to those exposed to only GMT. Human cardiac reprogramming was similarly enhanced upon TGF-b and WNT inhibition and was achieved most efficiently with GMT plus Myocardin. Thus, TGF-β and WNT inhibitors jointly enhance GMT-induced direct cardiac reprogramming from cardiac fibroblasts in vitro and in vivo and provide a more robust platform for cardiac regeneration.

The histone reader PHF7 cooperates with the SWI/SNF complex at cardiac super-enhancers to promote direct cardiac reprogramming

Project description:Direct cardiac reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiomyocytes presents an attractive therapeutic strategy to restore cardiac function following injury. Cardiac reprogramming was initially achieved through the overexpression of the transcription factors Gata4, Mef2c, and Tbx5 (GMT), and later, Hand2 (GHMT) and Akt1 (AGHMT) were found to further enhance this process. Yet, staunch epigenetic barriers severely limit the ability of these cocktails to reprogram adult fibroblasts. We undertook a screen of mammalian gene regulatory factors to discover novel regulators of cardiac reprogramming in adult fibroblasts and identified the histone reader PHF7 as the most potent activating factor. Mechanistically, PHF7 localizes to cardiac super-enhancers in fibroblasts, and through cooperation with the SWI/SNF complex, increases chromatin accessibility and transcription factor binding at these sites. Importantly, PHF7 is the first epigenetic factor found to achieve efficient reprogramming in the absence of Gata4. Here, we highlight the underexplored necessity of cardiac epigenetic modifiers, such as PHF7, in harnessing chromatin remodeling complexes to overcome critical barriers to direct cardiac reprogramming.

Robust Cardiac Reprogramming Systems with Selectivity to Cardiac Fibroblasts

Project description:Direct cardiac reprogramming to induce cardiomyocyte-like cells, e.g. by GMT (Gata4, Mef2c and Tbx5), is a promising route for regenerating damaged heart in vivo and disease modeling in vitro. Supplementation with additional factors and chemical agents can enhance efficiency but raises concerns regarding selectivity to cardiac fibroblasts and complicates delivery for in situ cardiac reprogramming. Here, we screened 2000 chemicals with known biological activities and found that a combination of 2C (SB431542 and Baricitinib) significantly enhances cardiac reprogramming by GMT. Without Gata4, MT (Mef2c and Tbx5) plus 2C could selectively reprogram cardiac fibroblasts with enhanced efficiency, kinetics and cardiomyocyte function. More importantly, 2C+MYOCD selectively reprograms human cardiac fibroblasts into cardiomyocyte-like cells. 2C enhances cardiac reprogramming by inhibiting Alk5, Tyk2 and downregulating Oas2, Oas3, Serpina3n and Tgfbi. 2C thus enables selective and robust cardiac reprogramming that can greatly facilitate disease modeling in vitro and advance clinical therapeutic heart regeneration in vivo.

CRISPR activation of endogenous genes reprograms fibroblasts into cardiovascular progenitor cells

Project description:In this study, we determine whether direct activation of endogenous loci by targeting the genomic DNA (using a CRISPRa system) can fulfill reprogramming of fibroblasts into cardiac progenitors. Core promoter regions of Gata4, Nkx2-5, and Tbx5 were targeted by the CRISPRa (Synergistic Activation Mediator) in mouse tail tip fibroblasts (TTFs). RNA sequencing was performed to characterize the transcriptome of the transfected fibroblasts and reprogrammed cells. These data indicate that our CRISPRa approaches can induce cardiac reprogramming and establish a gene network for heart development.

Gene expression profiles of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), induced cardiomyocytes (iCMs) and heart

Project description:Global gene expression patterns of the iCMs shift from a MEF state toward a cardiac-like phenotype by Gata4/Mef2c/Tbx5 (GMT) or GMT/miR-133 transduction at 3, 7 and 18 days after transduction (D3, D7 and D18) MiR-133 silenced fibroblast signatures in parallel with cardiac gene activation, and Snai1 overexpression inhibited the effects of miR-133-mediated cardiac reprogramming. MEFs were used for negative control, mouse heart tissue for positive control. Gene expression profiles were compared among MEFs, iCMs and heart. 23474 probes were analyzed in each experiment.

Cardiac Reprogramming Factors Synergistically Activate Genome-wide Cardiogenic Stage-Specific Enhancers (RNA-seq data set)

Project description:Fibroblasts can be directly reprogrammed toward a cardiac fate by introducing cardiogenic transcription factors (TFs), although the underlying mechanisms of the cardiac reprogramming process remain unclear. Three cardiac TFs, GATA4, MEF2C, and Tbx5 (referred to as GMT) can activate cardiac genes in fibroblasts and their cardiogenic activity is enhanced by the Hand2 TF and the Akt1 kinase. To understand the mechanistic basis of cardiac reprogramming, we performed a genome-wide analysis of cardiogenic TF binding sites and active enhancers, which were annotated by H3K27ac histone modification, during the reprogramming process. We found that cardiogenic TFs rapidly co-occupy core regulatory elements of cardiac genes and activate myriad cardiac enhancers that are enriched predominantly in Mef2 binding sites. Addition of Hand2 and Akt1 to the GMT reprogramming cocktail expands the spectrum of co-occupied active cardiac enhancers. As reprogramming proceeds over time, reprogramming TFs continue to activate additional cardiac enhancers, which are also enriched for Mef2 motifs, while fibroblast enhancers are silenced. This transition of the enhancer landscape strongly correlated with changes in the fibroblast and cardiac transcriptome. To test the relevance of cardiac reprogramming enhancers to the regulation of cardiogenesis in vivo, we assayed a collection of reprogramming enhancers in transgenic mouse embryos and found that they directed highly specific expression patterns in the developing heart. Our findings demonstrate that Hand2 and Akt1 enhance reprogramming by facilitating cardiac enhancer occupancy and identify Mef2 as a central effector of cardiac reprogramming, which coordinates the actions of accessory factors across a broad landscape of cardiac enhancers.

Development of gene expression signatures for identifying novel factors that can overcome age-associated reprogramming barriers

Project description:To investigate the molecular features underlying senescence and rejuvenation during aged cell reprogramming and identify novel factors that can overcome age-associated barriers, we compared gene expression for reprogramming intermediates on D8 of tail-tip fibroblasts (TTFs) from young Wild Type (WT), old WT, and old p16 knockout (KO) mice. We collected TTFs from young WT, old WT, and old p16 KO mice and reprogrammed the cells by introducing four reprogramming factors, including Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc. Gene expression of reprogramming intermediates on D8 were compared. Two independent experiments were performed using different mice donors for each experiment.
