Project description:Phospholamban R14del mutazion (PLN-R14del) has been identified in a large family pedigree in which heterozygous carriers exhibited inherited dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and death by middle age. To better understand the causal link between the mutations in PLN and DCM pathology, we derived induced pluripotent stem cells from a DCM patient carrying the PLN R14del mutation. We showed that iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes recapitulated the DCM-specific phenotype and demonstrated that either TALEN-mediated genetic correction or combinatorial gene therapy resulted in phenotypic rescue. Our findings offer novel insights into the pathogenesis caused by mutant PLN and point to the development of potential new therapeutics of pathogenic genetic variants associated with inherited cardiomyopathies. iPSCs were derived from a female patient carrying a heterozygous mutation (R14del) in the PLN gene. Tree samples were analyzed: Cardiomyocytes derived from PLN-R41del iPSC cells (R14del-CM); R14del-CMs infected with AAV6-EGFP-miR-PLN and R14del-CMs infected with AAV6-EGFP-miR-luc used as a negative control

Project description:Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is characterized by life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death and affects hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide. The deletion of Arginine 14 (p.R14del) in the phospholamban (PLN) gene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of ACM. PLN is a key regulator of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ cycling and cardiac contractility. Despite global gene and protein expression studies, the molecular mechanisms of PLN-R14del ACM pathogenesis remain unclear. Using a humanized PLN-R14del mouse model and human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs), we investigated the transcriptome-wide mRNA splicing changes associated with the R14del mutation. We identified >200 significant alternative splicing (AS) events and distinct AS profiles were observed in the right (RV) and left (LV) ventricles in PLN- R14del compared to WT mouse hearts. Enrichment analysis of the AS events showed that the most affected biological process was associated with “cardiac cell action potential”, specifically in the RV. We found that splicing of 2 key genes, Trpm4andCamk2d, which encode proteins regulating calcium homeostasis in the heart, were altered in PLN-R14del mouse hearts and human iPSC-CMs. Bioinformatical analysis pointed to the tissue-specific splicing factors Srrm4 and Nova1 as likely upstream regulators of the observed splicing changes in the PLN-R14del cardiomyocytes. Our findings suggest that aberrant splicing may affect Ca2+- homeostasis in the heart, contributing to the increased risk of arrythmogenesis in PLN- R14del ACM.

Project description:Aims: A mutation in the phospholamban (PLN) gene, leading to deletion of Arg14 (R14del), has been associated with malignant arrhythmias and ventricular dilation. Identifying pre-symptomatic carriers with vulnerable myocardium is crucial because arrhythmia can result in sudden cardiac death, especially in young adults with PLN-R14del mutation. This study aimed at assessing the efficiency and efficacy of in vivo genome editing, using CRISPR/Cas9 and a cardiotropic adeno-associated virus (AAV9), in improving cardiac function in young adult mice expressing the human PLN-R14del. Methods and Results: Humanized mice were generated expressing human wild-type (hPLN-WT) or mutant (hPLN-R14del) PLN in the heterozygous state, mimicking human carriers. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at 12 weeks of age showed bi-ventricular dilation and increased stroke volume in mutant vs. WT mice, with no deficit in ejection fraction or cardiac output. Challenge of ex vivo hearts with isoproterenol and rapid pacing unmasked higher propensity for sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) in hPLN-R14del relative to hPLN-WT. Specifically, the VT threshold was significantly reduced (20.3±1.2 Hz in hPLN-R14del vs. 25.7±1.3 Hz in WT, p<0.01) reflecting higher arrhythmia burden. To inactivate the R14del allele, mice were tail-vein-injected with AAV9.CRISPR/Cas9/gRNA or AAV9 empty capsid (controls). CRISPR-Cas9 efficiency was evaluated by droplet digital PCR and NGS-based amplicon sequencing. In vivo gene editing significantly reduced end diastolic and stroke volumes in hPLN-R14del CRISPR-treated mice compared to controls. Susceptibility to VT was also reduced, as the VT threshold was significantly increased relative to controls (30.9±2.3 Hz vs. 21.3±1.5 Hz; p<0.01). Conclusions: This study is the first to show that disruption of hPLN-R14del allele by AAV9- CRISPR/Cas9 improves cardiac function and reduces VT susceptibility in humanized PLN-R14del mice, offering preclinical evidence for translatable approaches to therapeutically suppress the arrhythmogenic phenotype in human patients with PLN-R14del disease.

Project description:Background: The p.(Arg14del) pathogenic variant (R14del) of the phospholamban (PLN) gene is a prevalent cause of cardiomyopathy with heart failure. The exact underlying pathophysiology is unknown, and a suitable therapy is unavailable. We aim to identify molecular perturbations underlying this cardiomyopathy in a clinically relevant PLN-R14del mouse model. Methods: We investigated progression of cardiomyopathy in PLN-R14∆/∆ mice using echocardiography, electrocardiography and histological tissue analysis. RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry were performed on cardiac tissues at 3 weeks of age (before onset of disease), 5 weeks, when mild cardiomyopathy has developed, and 8 weeks (end-stage). Data were compared with cardiac expression levels of mice that underwent myocardial ischemia-reperfusion or myocardial infarction surgery, in an effort to identify alterations that are specific to PLN-R14del-related cardiomyopathy. Results: At 3 weeks of age, PLN-R14∆/∆ mice had normal cardiac function, but from the age of 4 weeks, we observed increased myocardial fibrosis and impaired global longitudinal strain. From 5 weeks onwards, ventricular dilatation, decreased contractility and diminished ECG voltages were observed. Strikingly, PLN protein aggregation was present prior to onset of functional deficits. Transcriptomics and proteomics revealed differential regulation of processes involved in remodelling, inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, in part similar to ischemic cardiomyopathy. Protein homeostasis pathways were identified exclusively in PLN-R14∆/∆ mice, even before disease onset, in concert with aggregate formation. Conclusions: We mapped the development of PLN-R14del-related cardiomyopathy, and identified alterations in proteostasis and PLN protein aggregation amongst the first manifestations of this disease, which could possibly be a novel target for therapy.
