Project description:Adult cardiomyocytes (CM) are terminally differentiated cells with minimal regenerative capacity, making cardiac tissue particularly vulnerable to injury. Thus, defining the roadblocks responsible for adult CM cell cycle arrest lies at the core of developing therapies to regenerate myocyte loss following injurious events such as myocardial infarction. We have previously shown that inactivating the p53/Mdm2 tumor suppressor circuitry, specifically in the heart (using the Cre-loxP recombination system of bacteriophage P1), can allow differentiated CMs to regain proliferative capacity, through an upregulation of factors involved in cell cycle re-entry. These factors are repressed in quiescent CMs, in part through the action of microRNAs (miRNAs). Notably, knockout of either p53 or Mdm2 individually was insufficient to promote CM proliferation. Therefore, we hypothesized that inactivation of p53/Mdm2-regulated miRNAs could promote the expression of cell cycle activators and induce proliferation of adult murine CMs. To identify miRNAs regulated by both p53 and Mdm2, total miRNA expression profiles from cardiac specific p53/Mdm2 double knockout (DKO) mouse hearts were compared with those from cardiac-specific single knockouts (p53KO and Mdm2KO), and vehicle-injected controls using the Nanostring nCounter mouse miRNA expression assay. This revealed a profile of 11 significantly downregulated miRNAs in the proliferative DKO hearts (versus vehicle-injected control), that were enriched for mRNA targets involved in cell cycle regulation. In vitro studies have demonstrated that knockdown of these 11 miRNAs in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes can increase the occurrence of cytokinetic events. Ultimately, we aim to inject antagomirs targeting these miRNAs into animals post-myocardial infarction to determine the effect of p53/Mdm2-regulated miRNAs on heart function and CM proliferation in vivo.

Project description:Utilization of lipids as energy substrates after birth causes cardiomyocyte (CM) cell-cycle arrest and loss of regenerative capacity in mammalian hearts. Beyond energy provision, proper management of lipid composition is crucial for cellular and organismal health, but its role in heart regeneration remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate widespread sphingolipid metabolism remodeling in neonatal hearts after injury and find that SphK1 and SphK2, isoenzymes producing the same sphingolipid metabolite sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), differently regulate cardiac regeneration. SphK2 is downregulated during heart development and determines CM proliferation via nuclear S1P-dependent modulation of histone acetylation. Reactivation of SphK2 induces adult CM cell-cycle re-entry and cytokinesis, thereby enhancing regeneration. Conversely, SphK1 is upregulated during development and promotes fibrosis through an S1P autocrine mechanism in cardiac fibroblasts. By fine-tuning the activity of each SphK isoform, we develop a therapy that simultaneously promotes myocardial repair and restricts fibrotic scarring to regenerate the infarcted adult hearts.

Project description:The acquisition of knowledge pertaining to the molecular mechanisms that govern cardiomyocyte (CM) proliferation would enable the creation of novel approaches to promote cardiac regeneration in adult individuals, a crucial therapeutic objective that has yet to be accomplished. The limited regenerative response observed in adult myocardium may be attributed, in part, to the relatively low proliferative capacity of cardiomyocytes. The comprehension of cardiomyocyte division is a complex undertaking, as cardiomyocytes are capable of entering the cell cycle but are unable to complete cell division. Our research revealed that the induction of cardiac cytoskeleton changes by Blebbistatin result in the entry of cardiomyocytes entry into the cell cycle but, followed by cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. Sirt1 is identified as a potential mediator of the binucleation process in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, which is regulated by the cardiomyocyte cytoskeleton. Furthermore, the distribution of H3K9me3 in cardiomyocytes with varying nuclear numbers and treatments indicates a significant involvement in the formation of binucleated cardiomyocytes.

Project description:Mammalian hearts had the capability to regenerate cardiomyocyte and completely recover after heart injury within a limited time window after birth. It has been shown that sphingosine 1-phospahte receptor 1 (S1pr1) was highly expressed in cardiomyocytes and played an important role in heart development and pathological cardiac remodeling. Herein, we aim to investigate the role of CM-S1pr1 for cardiac regeneration and tissue repair after heart injury. We generated cardiomyocyte (CM)-specific S1pr1 knock-out mice and showed that CM-specific S1pr1 loss-of-function significantly severely reduced cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration in neonatal mice after both apex resection and myocardial infarction, whereas S1pr1 gain-of-function by AAV9-mediated CM-specific overexpression of S1pr1 significantly boosted cardiac regeneration and improved cardiac functions after heart injuries. We next identified that S1pr1 activated AKT/mTOR/CyclinD1 and Bcl-2 signaling pathways, and thus promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation and inhibited CM apoptosis, respectively.Of note, we applied CM-targeted gene therapy by AAV9-cTNT to specifically overexpress S1pr1 in cardiomyocytes and achieved an efficient S1pr1 overexpression in CMs in vivo. This CM-targeted strategy to overexpress S1pr1 significantly enhanced cardiac regeneration and improved cardiac functions after myocardial infarction in an adult mouse model, suggesting a potential strategy to boost adult cardiac regeneration in vivo.

Project description:Loss of cardiomyocytes (CMs) following injury can lead to myocardial dysfunction, heart failure (HF) and ultimately death. The limited regenerative ability of the adult human heart after injury, however, poses a significant obstacle to restore cardiac function effectively. While mammalian hearts, including those of mice and humans, do have the potential to regenerate, this capacity is restricted to a narrow window during early stages of life. The molecular mechanisms governing the regenerative capacity of mammalian hearts remain incompletely understood. Exploring a comparative transcriptome analysis in regenerative neonatal vs. non-regenerative adult mouse CMs, we identified N-Cadherin, a member of Ca2+-dependent cell adhesion protein cadherin superfamily, as a potential novel regulator of CM proliferation/renewal. The primary objectives of this study were to elucidate the molecular mechanisms through which N-Cadherin regulates cardiomyocyte proliferation and regeneration, and to determine the therapeutic potential to promote CM renewal and restore cardiac function following injury by targeting N-Cadherin. Cardiac N-Cadherin expression exhibits a strong positive correlation with that of cell cycle- and proliferation-related genes. Its expression levels show an age-dependent reduction, with a 75% decrease of N-Cadherin in adult, compared to P1 neonatal, CMs. N-Cadherin expression is upregulated in the neonatal mouse heart in response to apical resection, especially in the peri-injury region, coinciding with increased CM mitotic activities in the neonatal heart. Knocking down N-Cadherin reduced, whereas overexpression of N-Cadherin increased, the proliferation activity of neonatal mouse CMs and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived CMs. Mechanistically, increased N-Cadherin potentiates CM renewal through direct binding with and stabilization of a pro-mitotic transcription regulator β-Catenin, leading to increased CMs proliferative activity. Deletion of β-Catenin-binding domain on N-Cadherin abrogated its pro-regenerative activity. Importantly, targeted depletion of N-Cadherin in CMs resulted in incomplete cardiac repair/regeneration and excessive fibrotic scar formation in neonatal mouse hearts following injury. Cardiac-specific overexpression of N-Cadherin in adult mouse heart using adeno-associated viral vectors, by contrast, resulted in increased CM proliferation and protected against myocardial infarction-induced adverse remodeling and contractile dysfunction. Adherent junction protein N-cadherin is demonstrated to play a crucial role in maintaining CM renewal potential by post-translational stabilization of β-Catenin. Enhancing N-cadherin expression levels and downstream signaling activities in the heart, therefore, could be a powerful new approach to promote cardiac regeneration and restore myocardial function in adult human heart following injury.

Project description:Human cardiomyocytes (CMs) differ from those of rodents in many aspects, and methods that effectively improve cardiac performance in rodents have been unsuccessful in humans, indicating a translational gap between humans and rodents in cardiac regeneration. The CM proliferation transition between the neonatal and adult stages is well-established in humans and rodents. The aim of the study is to analyze human atrial CM proliferation-transition for narrowing down the translational gap between humans and rodents in cardiac regeneration.At first we extracted decellularized samples (DS) from human atrial specimens collected during routine congenital cardiac surgery from children diagnosed with ventricular septal defect (VSD). The DS was next used for cell culture and proteomic analyses. The proteins (such as Agrin, BRP44, and insulin) identified in the proteomic analysis were further verified by testing their ability to promote CM proliferation. The results showed that the combination of agrin, BRP44, and insulin (ABI) enhanced the effect of agrin.To further confirmed the role of ABI on human CM proliferation, we performed RNA-seq on the ABI-treated HiPSC-CMs. The results showed that ABI induced abundant enrichment of cell-cycle associated genes, which highlighting the synergy of hormones and anti-oxidation/metabolism in human CM proliferation.

Project description:In this study, we used a cardiac-specific, inducible expression system to activate YAP in adult mouse heart. Activation of YAP in adult heart promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation and did not deleteriously affect heart function. Furthermore, YAP activation after myocardial infarction (MI) preserved heart function and reduced infarct size. Using adeno-associated virus subtype 9 (AAV9) as a delivery vector, we expressed human YAP in the murine myocardium immediately after MI. We found that AAV9:hYAP significantly improved cardiac function and mouse survival. AAV9:hYAP did not exert its salutary effects by reducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Rather, we found that AAV9:hYAP stimulated adult cardiomyocyte proliferation. Gene expression profiling indicated that AAV9:hYAP stimulated cell cycle gene expression, enhanced TGFβ-signaling, and activated of components of the inflammatory response.Cardiac specific YAP activation after MI mitigated myocardial injury after MI, improved cardiac function and mouse survival. These findings suggest that therapeutic activation of hYAP or its downstream targets, potentially through AAV-mediated gene therapy, may be a strategy to improve outcome after MI. Three groups were involved in this study: sham group, AAV9:Luci+MI group and AAV9-YAP+MI group. Each group contained three biological replicates. The sham group had neither myocardial infarction nor AAV injection. The AAV9:Luci +MI(L for brief) group had myocardial infarction and injected with AAV9:Luic. The AAV9:hYAP+MI(YAP for brief) group had myocardial infarction and injected with AAV9:hYAP. 5 days after MI and AAV injection, the heart apexes were collected and the total RNA were isolated for microarray analysis.

Project description:The inability of the adult mammalian heart to regenerate represents a fundamental barrier in heart failure management. In contrast, the neonatal heart retains a transient regenerative capacity, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Wnt/β-catenin signaling has been suggested as a key cardio-regenerative pathway. Here, we show that Wnt/β-catenin signaling potentiates neonatal mouse cardiomyocyte proliferation in vivo and immature human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (hPSC-CM) proliferation in vitro. In contrast, Wnt/β-catenin signaling in adult mice is cardioprotective but fails to induce cardiomyocyte proliferation. Transcriptional profiling of neonatal mouse and hPSC-CM revealed a core Wnt/β-catenin-dependent transcriptional network governing cardiomyocyte proliferation. In contrast, β-catenin failed to re-engage this proliferative gene network in the adult heart, which instead reverted to a neonatal-like glycolytic program. These findings suggest that Wnt/β-catenin drives distinct transcriptional networks in regenerative and non-regenerative cardiomyocytes, which may contribute towards the inability of the adult heart to regenerate following injury.

Project description:Reactivating cell cycle re-entry in adult cardiomyocytes improves cardiac function after myocardial infarction (MI). De novo purine synthesis is a critical source of nucleotides and is involved in modulating cell proliferation. Here, using gain-of-function genetic tools, we explored the role of the de novo purine synthesis enzyme Adssl1 in cardiac regeneration. RNA sequencing analysis suggested that Adssl1 overexpression induced strong dedifferentiation and cell cycle entry.
