Project description:Background: Direct cardiac reprogramming of fibroblasts into cardiomyocytes has emerged as one of the promising strategies to remuscularize the injured myocardium. Yet, it is still insufficient to generate functional induced cardiomyocytes (iCMs) from human fibroblasts using conventional reprogramming cocktails, such as our previously published combination consisting of MEF2C, GATA4, TBX5 and microRNA miR-133 (MGT133). Results: To discover potential missing factors for human direct reprogramming, we performed transcriptomic comparison between human iCMs and functional cardiomyocytes (CMs). We identified T-box transcription factor TBX20 as the top CM gene that is unable to be activated by MGT133. TBX20 is required for normal heart development and cardiac function in adult CMs but its role on cardiac reprogramming remains undefined. Here, we found that transduction of MGT133+TBX20 in human cardiac fibroblasts resulted in enhanced reprogramming featured with significantly activated contractility gene programs and signatures more similar to ventricular CMs. Human iCMs produced with MGT133+TBX20 more frequently demonstrated beating and calcium oscillation in co-culture with pluripotent stem cell derived CMs. More mitochondria and higher mitochondrial respiration were also detected in iCMs after TBX20 overexpression. Mechanistically, comprehensive transcriptomic, chromatin occupancy and epigenomic integration revealed that TBX20 localized to the cis-regulatory enhancers of under-expressed cardiac genes, such as MYBPC3, MYH7 and MYL4, to activate gene expression via strengthening the occupancy and co-occupancy of transcription factors. Furthermore, we identified TBX20-regulated enhancers and confirmed the synergistic effect of MGT and TBX20 on enhancer activation. Conclusions: TBX20 promotes cardiac cell fate conversion via direct activating cardiac enhancers. Human iCMs generated with TBX20 showed enhanced cardiac function in terms of contractility and mitochondrial respiration.

Project description:Tbx20 is a transcription factor known to play important roles in embryonic and adult mouse heart function. Our goal in this work was to better understand the function of this gene in embryonic (E11.5) mouse cardiomyocytes that form the developing chambers, expanding our knowledge of its role in heart development. To elucidate the role of Tbx20 in mouse cardiomyocytes, we generated conditional Tbx20 knockout and compared 4 samples with 4 samples of wild-type cardiomyocytes. We found evidence of regulation of cell cycle genes by Tbx20, which are involved in proliferation. In addition, Tbx20 seems to bind and regulate an enhancer of CoupTFII in the atrium, a gene involved in atrial development.

Project description:T-box transcription factor 20 (Tbx20) plays a multifaceted role in cardiac morphogenesis and controls a broad gene regulatory network. However, the mechanism by which Tbx20 activates and represses target genes in a tissue-specific and temporal manner remains unclear. Studies show that Tbx20 directly interacts with the Transducin-like Enhancer of Split (TLE) family of proteins to mediate transcriptional repression. However, a function for the Tbx20-TLE transcriptional repression complex during heart development has yet to be established. We created a mouse model with a two-amino acid substitution in the Tbx20 EH1 domain, thereby disrupting the Tbx20-TLE interaction. Disruption of this interaction impaired critical morphogenic events, including cardiac looping and chamber formation. Transcriptional profiling of Tbx20EH1Mut hearts and analysis of putative direct targets revealed misexpression of the retinoic acid pathway and cardiac progenitor genes. Further, we show that altered cardiac progenitor development and function contribute to the severe cardiac defects in our model. Our studies indicate that TLE-mediated repression is a primary mechanism by which Tbx20 controls gene expression.

Project description:Using an unbiased systems-based screen, we demonstrate the cardiac transcription factor TBX20 physically and genetically interacts with the essential transcription factor CASZ1. This interaction is required for survival as mice heterozygous for both Tbx20 and Casz1 die post-natally as a result of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).We have used quantitative proteomic approaches to define the molecular pathways mis-regulated in Tbx20 and Casz1 mice and thus, are associated with DCM.

Project description:Tbx20 is a transcription factor important for heart development. To assess the role of Tbx20 in the adult heart, we sought to identify regulatory regions, gene targets and pathways regulated by this TF. To this end, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of Tbx20 fused to GFP to locate binding sites in the genome of 8 weeks whole heart mouse tissue.
