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.

Project description:The adult mammalian heart is incapable of regeneration following injury. In contrast, the neonatal mouse heart has a transient ability to regenerate, however the molecular mechanism that mediates this regenerative response is not fully understood. Here, by single-nucleus RNA sequencing we map the transcriptome landscape of cardiomyocytes in neonatal mouse hearts at healthy, regenerative, and remodeling conditions. We show that an immature cardiomyocyte population enters cell-cycle in response to injury. Absence of this cardiomyocyte population overtime is associated with the loss of the ability of the heart to regenerate. We show a defined injury response in these cardiomyocytes, including activation of transcription factors NFYa and NFE2L1, which play proliferative and protective roles, respectively. We further show that overexpression of these two factors in vivo promotes heart regeneration. Thus, these findings refined our understanding of cellular basis of neonatal heart regeneration and reveal dynamic transcriptome landscape of cardiomyocytes in response to injury.

Project description:The adult mammalian heart is incapable of regeneration following injury. In contrast, the neonatal mouse heart can efficiently regenerate during the first week of life. The molecular mechanisms that mediate the regenerative response and its blockade in later life are not understood. Here, by single-nucleus RNA sequencing, we map the dynamic transcriptional landscape of five distinct cardiomyocyte populations in healthy, injured and regenerating mouse hearts. We identify immature cardiomyocytes that enter the cell-cycle following injury and disappear as the heart loses the ability to regenerate. These proliferative neonatal cardiomyocytes display a unique transcriptional program dependent on NFYa and NFE2L1 transcription factors, which exert proliferative and protective functions, respectively. Cardiac overexpression of these two factors conferred protection against ischemic injury in mature mouse hearts that were otherwise non-regenerative. These findings advance our understanding of the cellular basis of neonatal heart regeneration and reveal a transcriptional landscape for heart repair following injury.

Project description:Heart failure is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the developed world, partly because mammals lack the ability to regenerate heart tissue. Whether this is due to evolutionary loss of regenerative mechanisms present in other organisms or to an inability to activate such mechanisms is currently unclear. Here, we decipher mechanisms underlying heart regeneration in adult zebrafish and show that the molecular regulators of this response are conserved in mammals. We identified miR-99/100 and Let-7a/c, and their protein targets smarca5 and fntb, as critical regulators of cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation and heart regeneration in zebrafish. Although human and murine adult cardiomyocytes fail to elicit an endogenous regenerative response following myocardial infarction, we show that in vivo manipulation of this molecular machinery in mice results in cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation and improved heart functionality after injury. These data provide a proof-of-concept for identifying and activating conserved molecular programs to regenerate the damaged heart.

Project description:Adult mammalian hearts do not regenerate following ischemic injury, causing permanent damage to the myocardium, often leading to heart failure. In contrast, neonatal mouse hearts can fully regenerate after injury, however this ability is lost shortly after birth. Loss of regenerative capacity coincides with profound changes in the epigenetic landscape. Yet, the mechanisms controlling cardiomyocyte proliferation remain poorly understood. To identify epigenetic mechanisms that underlie cardiomyocyte regeneration in response to ischemic injury, we subjected mice to sham or ischemia-reperfusion injury (IR) and performed RNA-Seq at multiple timepoints after injury. Multiple SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex subunits were upregulated after IR, including the AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (Arid1a), which has previously been implicated in tissue regeneration. Here, we show that Arid1a is abundantly expressed in cardiomyocytes during development, and is reactivated in a subset of adult cardiomyocytes after IR. Moreover, ARID1A is highly expressed in cardiomyocytes in human failing hearts, suggesting an important function in injury response. Cardiomyocyte-specific Arid1a ablation in neonatal mice induced cardiomyocyte hyperplasia, and severe cardiac enlargement at 2 weeks of age. Arid1a mutant hearts display increased expression of key cell cycle genes. Using ChIP-Seq and protein interaction studies we show that Arid1a functionally interacts with HIPPO signaling, thereby regulating neonatal cardiomyocyte proliferation. Furthermore, suppression of Arid1a in adult cardiomyocytes after IR induced cell cycle activity in border zone cardiomyocytes. These data suggest that Arid1a regulates cardiomyocyte proliferation and function. Upregulation of Arid1a in cardiomyocytes after injury may suppress proliferation and regeneration. Modulation of ARID1A after ischemic injury may be a novel therapeutic target to enhance cardiac regeneration.

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to cardiomyocyte death, which triggers an immune response that clears debris and restores tissue integrity. In the adult heart, the immune system facilitates scar formation, which repairs the damaged myocardium but compromises cardiac function. In neonatal mice, the heart can regenerate fully without scarring following MI; however, this regenerative capacity is lost by P7. The signals that govern neonatal heart regeneration are unknown. By comparing the immune response to MI in mice at P1 and P14, we identified differences in the magnitude and kinetics of monocyte and macrophage responses to injury. Using a cell-depletion model, we determined that heart regeneration and neoangiogenesis following MI depends on neonatal macrophages. Neonates depleted of macrophages were unable to regenerate myocardia and formed fibrotic scars, resulting in reduced cardiac function and angiogenesis. Immunophenotyping and gene expression profiling of cardiac macrophages from regenerating and nonregenerating hearts indicated that regenerative macrophages have a unique polarization phenotype and secrete numerous soluble factors that may facilitate the formation of new myocardium. Our findings suggest that macrophages provide necessary signals to drive angiogenesis and regeneration of the neonatal mouse heart. Modulating inflammation may provide a key therapeutic strategy to support heart regeneration. Total RNA was isolated from CD11b+Ly6G- cells sorted from hearts 3 days following ligation of LAD. 6 samples total: Triplicates of cells from P1 mice and from P14 mice

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:Background - The inability of the adult mammalian heart to regenerate following injury represents a major barrier in cardiovascular medicine. In contrast, the neonatal mammalian heart retains a transient capacity for regeneration, which is lost shortly after birth. Defining the molecular mechanisms that govern regenerative capacity in the neonatal period remains a central goal in cardiac biology. Here, we construct a transcriptional atlas of multiple cardiac cell populations, which enables comparative analyses of the regenerative (neonatal) versus non-regenerative (adult) state for the first time. Methods - Cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, leukocytes and endothelial cells from infarcted and non-infarcted neonatal (P1) and adult (P56) hearts were isolated by enzymatic dissociation and FACS. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed on these cell populations to generate a transcriptomic atlas of the major cardiac cell populations during cardiac development, repair and regeneration. In addition, we surveyed the epigenetic landscape of cardiomyocytes during post-natal maturation by performing deep sequencing of accessible chromatin regions using the Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin (ATAC-seq) from purified cardiomyocyte nuclei (P1, P14 and P56). Results - Profiling of cardiomyocyte and non-myocyte transcriptional programs uncovered several injury responsive genes across regenerative and non-regenerative time points. However, the majority of transcriptional changes in all cardiac cell types resulted from developmental maturation from neonatal stages to adulthood rather than activation of a distinct regeneration-specific gene program. Furthermore, adult leukocytes and fibroblasts reverted to a neonatal state and re-activated a neonatal proliferative network following infarction. In contrast, cardiomyocytes failed to re-activate the neonatal proliferative network following infarction, which was associated with loss of chromatin accessibility around cell cycle genes during post-natal maturation. Conclusions – This work provides a comprehensive transcriptional resource of multiple cardiac cell populations during cardiac development, repair and regeneration. Our findings define a transcriptional program underpinning the neonatal regenerative state and identifies an epigenetic barrier to re-induction of the regenerative program in adult cardiomyocytes.
