Project description:We used microarrays to detail genome-wide gene expression underlying cardiac myocyte pathologies and identified candidate genes and specific pathways affecting cardiac myopathies Keywords: transgenics, cardiac disease analysis Mouse heart atria were dissected for RNA extraction and hybridisation on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to profile gene expression from the transgenic mouse models for non-transgenics (Ntg), dnPI3K (dominant negative for phosphoinositide 3-kinase), Mst1 (mammalian sterile 20-like kinase 1) and dnPI3K-Mst1 (double mutant) mouse models with a combined background of C57BL/6/FVB/N inbred strains. Pathological insults on cardiac myocytes are investigated

Project description:Cardiac hypertrophy can lead to heart failure, and is induced either by physiological stimuli eg postnatal development, chronic exrcise training or pathological stimuli eg pressure or volume overload. This data set looks at microRNA profiles in mouse models to examine whether phosphoinositide 3-kinase (p110 alpha isoform) activity is critical for the maintenance of cardiac function and long term survival in a seeting of heart failure (myocardial infarction). The significance and expected outcome are to recognise genes involved in models of heart failure and attempt to examine underlying regulator pathways involved in possible cardica maintenance in the PI3K mouse model. The matching mRNA gene expression profile (GSE7487) is examined to look for mRNA and microRNA interactions. miRNA expression correlates directly with cardiac function. PI3K regulon ameliorates cardiac stress. Keywords: microRNA profiling, regulatory pathway discovery, genotype comparison Ntg (non-transgenics), dnPI3K (cardiac-specific transgenic model with reduced PI3K activity) and caPI3K (transgenic mice with increased PI3K activity) mice at 3-4 months of age were used. Mice were then subjected to myocardial infarction (occlusion of the left anterior descending aorta) and sham (open heart surgery) for 8 weeks. Left ventricles were harvested. The resulting 6 experimental models were profiled accordingly. The assignment of the mouse models is as follows: caPI3K Sham, Ntg Sham, dnPI3K Sham, caPI3K MI (myocardial infarction), Ntg MI and dnPI3K MI with n = 4 in each group.

Project description:Dysregulation of ER has been linked with increased metabolic and cardiovascular disease risk. Uncovering the impact of ERα deficiency in specific tissues has implications for understanding the role of ERα in normal physiology and disease, the increased disease risk in postmenopausal women, and the design of tissue-specific ERα-based therapies for a range of pathologies including cardiac disease and cancer. Cardiac myocyte-specific ER knockout mice (ERHKO) were generated to assess the role of ERα in the heart. Female ERHKO mice displayed a mild cardiac phenotype, but unexpectedly, the most striking phenotype was obesity in female ERHKO but not male ERHKO mice. We identified mild cardiac dysfunction, metabolic and lipid dysregulation in hearts of female ERHKO mice. We also show that extracellular vesicles (EVs) collected from the perfusate from Langendorff-isolated hearts from female ERHKO mice have a distinct proteome compared to male ERHKO; enriched for functions associated with muscle, metabolic and fatty acid dysregulation.

Project description:Background: The adult mammalian heart has limited ability to repair itself following injury. Zebrafish, newts and neonatal mice can regenerate cardiac tissue, largely by cardiac myocyte (CM) proliferation. It is unknown if hearts of young large mammals can regenerate. Methods: We examined the regenerative capacity of the pig heart in neonatal animals (ages: 2, 3 or 14 days postnatal) after myocardial infarction (MI) or sham procedure. Myocardial scar and left ventricular function were determined by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and echocardiography. Bromodeoxyuridine pulse-chase labeling, histology, immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were performed to study cell proliferation, sarcomere dynamics and cytokinesis and to quantify myocardial fibrosis. RNA-sequencing was also performed. Results: After MI, there was early and sustained recovery of cardiac function and wall thickness in the absence of fibrosis in 2-day old pigs. In contrast, older animals developed full-thickness myocardial scarring, thinned walls and did not recover function. Genome wide analyses of the infarct zone revealed a strong transcriptional signature of fibrosis in 14-day old animals that was absent in 2-day old pigs, which instead had enrichment for cytokinesis genes. In regenerating hearts of the younger animals, up to 10% of CMs in the border zone of the MI showed evidence of DNA replication that was associated with markers of myocyte division and sarcomere disassembly. Conclusions: Hearts of large mammals have regenerative capacity, likely driven by cardiac myocyte division, but this potential is lost immediately after birth.

Project description:We created mice, which are deficient for Myc specifically in cardiac myocytes by crossing crossed Myc-floxed mice (Mycfl/fl) and MLC-2VCre/+ mice. Serial analysis of earlier stages of gestation revealed that Myc-deficient mice died prematurely at E13.5-14.5. Morphological analyses of E13.5 Myc-null embryos showed normal ventricular size and structure; however, decreased cardiac myocyte proliferation and increased apoptosis was observed. BrdU incorporation rates were also decreased significantly in Myc-null myocardium. Myc-null mice displayed a 3.67-fold increase in apoptotic cardiomyocytes by TUNEL assay. We examined global gene expression using oligonucleotide microarrays. Numerous genes involved in mitochondrial death pathways were dysregulated including Bnip3L and Birc2. Hearts were taken from wide type and Myc-null Mouse embryos at E13.5 under the dissecting scope. Cardiac myocyte RNA was isolated using TRIZOL®Reagent Total RNA (100 ng) was hybridized to the Sentrix® MouseRef-8 Expression BeadChip that contains probes for ~24,000 transcripts. GeneChips were scanned using the Hewlett-Packard GeneArray Scanner G2500A. The data were analyzed with Illumina Inc. BeadStudio version 1.5.0.34 and normalized by rank invariant method.

Project description:Heart failure is the major cause of death for muscular dystrophy patients; however, the molecular pathomechanism remains unknown. Here, we show the detailed molecular pathogenesis of muscular dystrophy-associated cardiomyopathy in mice lacking the fukutin gene (Fktn), the causative gene for Fukuyama muscular dystrophy. Although cardiac Fktn elimination markedly reduced alpha-dystroglycan glycosylation and dystrophin-glycoprotein complex proteins in sarcolemma at all developmental stages, cardiac dysfunction was observed only in later adulthood, suggesting that membrane fragility is not the sole etiology of cardiac dysfunction. During young adulthood, Fktn-deficient mice were vulnerable to pathological hypertrophic stress with downregulation of Akt and the MEF2-histone deacetylase axis. Acute Fktn elimination caused severe cardiac dysfunction and accelerated mortality with myocyte contractile dysfunction and disordered Golgi-microtubule networks, which were ameliorated with colchicine treatment. These data reveal fukutin is crucial for maintaining myocyte physiology to prevent heart failure, and thus, the results may lead to strategies for therapeutic intervention.

Project description:Growth and expansion of ventricular chambers is essential during cardiogenesis and is achieved by proliferation of cardiac progenitors that are not fully differentiated. Disruption of this process can lead to prenatal lethality. In contrast, adult cardiomyocytes achieve growth through hypertrophy rather than hyperplasia. Although epicardial-derived signals may contribute to the proliferative process in myocytes, the factors and cell types responsible for development of the ventricular myocardial thickness are unclear. Moreover, the function of embryonic cardiac fibroblasts, derived from epicardium, and their secreted factors are largely unknown. Using a novel co-culture system, we found that embryonic cardiac fibroblasts induced proliferation of cardiomyocytes, in contrast to adult cardiac fibroblasts that promoted myocyte hypertrophy. We identified fibronectin, collagen and heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor as embryonic cardiac fibroblast-specific signals that collaboratively promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation in a paracrine fashion. b1 integrin was required for this proliferative response, and ventricular cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of b1 integrin in mice resulted in reduced myocardial proliferation and impaired ventricular compaction. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized paracrine function of embryonic cardiac fibroblasts in regulating cardiomyocyte proliferation.

Project description:We characterized single-cell transcriptional profiles of heart ventricles of C57BL/6J female and male mice subjected to a chronic stress, two weeks of continuous administration of Angiotensin II. The cell preparation we sequenced consisted of metabolically active, nucleated non-myocyte cells which were depleted of endothelial cells, mixed with nuclei isolated from cardiomyocytes. The goal of this experiment included characterizing cellular diversity in stressed and unstressed hearts, uncovering potential drivers of cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy, and quantifying sexual dimorphism in cardiac gene expression.
