Self-renewing resident cardiac macrophages limit adverse remodeling following myocardial infarction

ABSTRACT: Mononuclear phagocytes promote injury and repair following myocardial infarction but discriminating functions within mixed populations remains challenging. We utilized fate mapping and single cell RNA-sequencing to delineate fate specification trajectories of heterogeneous cardiac macrophage subpopulations. In steady state, TIMD4 expression tracked with a dominant resident cardiac macrophage subset that persisted via in situ self-renewal with minimal monocyte input. Following ischemic injury, monocytes displayed significant plasticity, ultimately adopting transcriptional states similar to resident macrophages, but also multiple unique states. Ischemic injury reduced resident macrophage abundance within infarct tissue, and despite transcriptional similarity, TIMD4 expression distinguished resident from recruited macrophages. Specific lineage-based depletion of resident cardiac macrophages resulted in depressed cardiac function and adverse remodeling primarily within the peri-infarct zone, the only region of the myocardium where resident macrophages expanded numerically following injury. Together, these data highlight a non-redundant, cardioprotective role of resident cardiac macrophages, and the diverse transcriptional fates recruited monocytes can adopt.

Project description:Background: Excess fibrotic remodeling leads to cardiac dysfunction in ischemic heart disease and is driven by MAP kinase-dependent transforming growth factor-ß1 (TGF-ß1) activation by coagulation signaling of myeloid cells. How coagulation-inflammatory circuits can be specifically targeted to achieve beneficial macrophage reprogramming after myocardial infarction (MI) is incompletely understood. Methods: Mice with permanent ligation of the proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) were used to model ischemic heart disease and analyzed by single cell RNA sequencing, protein expression changes, confocal microscopy, and longitudinal monitoring of recovery. We probed the role of the tissue factor (TF)-factor 7 (F7)-integrin ß1-protease activated receptor (PAR) 2 signaling complex by utilizing genetic mouse models and pharmacological intervention. Results: Cleavage-insensitive PAR2R38E and myeloid cell integrin ß1-deficient mice had improved cardiac function after MI compared to controls. Proximity ligation assays of monocytic cells in the infarcted myocardium demonstrated that colocalization of F7 with integrin ß1 was diminished in monocyte/macrophage F7-deficient mice. F7fl/fl CX3CR1Cre relative to littermate control mice showed reduced TGF-ß1 and MAP kinase activation, as well as cardiac dysfunction after MI, despite unaltered overall recruitment of myeloid cells into the infarct zone. Single cell mRNA sequencing of CD45+ cells 3 and 7 days after MI uncovered a trajectory from ischemic myocardium-recruited monocytes to inflammatory TF+/F7+/TREM1+ macrophages. As early as 7 days after MI, macrophage F7-deletion led to an expansion of Olfml3+ macrophages with a reparative phenotype and, conversely, to a reduction of TF+/F7+/TREM1+ macrophages, which were also attenuated in activation-resistant PAR2R38E mice. To demonstrate the therapeutic potential of inhibiting the TF-F7-PAR2 signaling complex,, we injected a specific monoclonal anti-TF antibody that lacks anticoagulant activity, but interferes with macrophage migration in vitro. Short-term treatment from day 1-5 after non-reperfused MI improved cardiac dysfunction, decreased excess fibrosis, attenuated vascular endothelial dysfunction, and increased survival 28 days after MI. Conclusions: Extravascular TF-F7-PAR2 complex signaling drives inflammatory macrophage polarization in ischemic heart disease. Targeting this signaling complex for specific therapeutic macrophage reprogramming following MI attenuates cardiac fibrosis and improves cardiovascular function.
