Cis-regulatory elements control gene expression in time and space

ABSTRACT: Cis-regulatory elements control gene expression in time and space and their disruption can lead to pathologies. Reporter assays allow the functional validation of enhancers and other regulatory elements, and transgenic mice provide a powerful tool to study gene regulation in vivo. However, these experiments are time-consuming and inefficient. Here, we increase the throughput of transgenic reporter assays by using a piggyBac transposon-based system, and use it to decode the regulatory landscape of atrial fibrillation, a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia. We systematically interrogated ten human atrial fibrillation associated loci, finding five new cardiac-specific enhancers. We also connected novel genes to atrial fibrillation through genome editing and three-dimensional chromatin structure analysis. Of note, we identified a bivalent regulatory element in the second intron of the CAV1 gene at the 7q31 locus, differentially acting upon four genes. Our approach also detected negative regulatory elements such as an ubiquitous silencer in the 16q22 locus that regulates ZFHX3 and can outcompete heart enhancers. Our study characterizes the function of new genetic elements that might be of relevance for the better understanding of gene regulation in cardiac arrhythmias. Thus, we have established a new framework for the efficient dissection of the genetic contribution to common human diseases.

Loss of the Atrial Fibrillation-related gene, Zfhx3, Results in Atrial Dilation and Arrhythmias by Disruption of Genes Essential for Cardiovascular Homeostasis

Project description:Background: ZFHX3, a gene that encodes a large transcription factor, is the second-most significantly associated locus with AF, but its function in the heart is unknown. This study aims to identify causative genetic variation related to AF at the ZFHX3 locus and examine the impact of Zfhx3 loss on cardiac function in mice. Methods: CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and luciferase assays in pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes were used to identify causative genetic variation related to AF at the ZFHX3 locus. Cardiac function was assessed by echocardiography, MRI, electrophysiology studies, calcium imaging, and RNA sequencing in mice with heterozygous and homozygous cardiomyocyte-restricted Zfhx3 deletion (Zfhx3 Het and KO, respectively). Human cardiac single-nucleus ATAC-sequencing data was analyzed to determine which genes in atrial cardiomyocytes are directly regulated by ZFHX3. Results: We found SNP rs12931021 modulates an enhancer regulating ZFHX3 expression, and the AF risk allele is associated with decreased ZFHX3 transcription. We observed a gene-dose response in AF susceptibility withZfhx3KO mice having higher incidence, frequency, and burden of AF thanZfhx3Het and WT mice, with alterations in conduction velocity, atrial action potential duration, calcium handling and the development of atrial enlargement and thrombus, and dilated cardiomyopathy. Zfhx3 loss results in atrial-specific differential effects on genes and signaling pathways involved in cardiac pathophysiology and AF. Conclusions: Our findings implicate ZFHX3 as the causative gene at the 16q22 locus for AF, and cardiac abnormalities caused by loss of cardiac Zfhx3 are due to atrial-specific dysregulation of pathways involved in AF-susceptibility. Together, these data reveal a novel and important role for Zfhx3 in the control of cardiac genes and signaling pathways essential for normal atrial function.

Function of Pitx2 in postnatal heart

Project description:Pitx2 is the homeobox gene located in proximity to the human 4q25 familial atrial fibrillation locus. Pitx2 haploinsufficient mice are prone to pacing induced atrial fibrillation indicating that reduced Pitx2 promotes an arrhythmogenic substrate within the atrium. Here, we inactivated Pitx2 in postnatal heart and discovered that unstressed adult Pitx2 mutant mice had sinus node dysfunction with impaired atrial conduction, an arrhythmia closely associated with atrial fibrillation. A genome-wide search for Pitx2 transcriptional targets using ChIP-sequencing and RNA expression profiling shows that Pitx2 represses target genes encoding cell junction proteins, ion channels, and critical transcriptional regulators many of which have been implicated in human atrial fibrillation by genome wide association studies. Our findings unveil a Pitx2 postnatal arrhythmogenic function, novel Pitx2 target genes relevant to atrial fibrillation, and reveal that Pitx2 stabilizes the intercalated disc in postnatal atrium. Genomic occupancy profiling of transcriptional factor Pitx2 in postnatal heart.

Therapeutic silencing Spp1 in cardiac macrophages suppresses atrial fibrillation

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AFib) and the risk of its lethal complications are worsened by atrial fibrosis. A recent study implicates osteopontin (encoded by Spp1) secreted by atrial TREM2+ macrophages in this fibrosis. Here, we show that silencing Spp1 in TREM2+ cardiac macrophages using an antibody-siRNA conjugate (ARC) reduces atrial fibrosis and suppresses AFib, thus offering a new immunotherapy for this common arrhythmia.

Here, we inactivated Pitx2 in postnatal heart and discovered that unstressed adult Pitx2 mutant mice had sinus node dysfunction with impaired atrial conduction, an arrhythmia closely associated with atrial fibrillation.

Pitx2 control and mutant hearts were collected from 3-, 6- and 12-week-old mice. At each time point, three cotrols and three mutants were collected as biological replicates. cDNA microarray analysis was performed using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA).

Integrated Quantitative Phosphoproteomics and Cell-based Functional Screening Reveals Specific Pathological Cardiac Hypertrophy-related Phosphorylation Sites

Project description:Ventricle arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation resulting from alternation of intracellular Ca2+ handling capacity leads to pathological cardiac hypertrophy. Junctate-1 TG mouse model is considered as a genetic model of clinical relevant atrial fibrillation. Phosphorylation is one of the most important signaling cascade for cardiac hypertrophy. To further investigate the phosphoproteome changes during abnormal Ca2+ release in junctate-1, we carried out label-free LC-MS/MS coupled with IMAC phosphopeptide enrichment.

Plasma Circular RNAs, Hsa_circRNA_025016, Predicts Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Isolated Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Project description:Rationale: Circular RNAs are pervasively expressed in highly diverged eukaryotes. Circular RNAs are more stable in body fluids, however, the link between circular RNA and onset of atrial fibrillation has never been investigated. Objective: To identify plasma circular RNAs for diagnosing onset of atrial fibrillation after the cardiac surgery. Methods and Results: Plasma circular RNAs expression was investigated in participants underwent isolated off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. First, we used microarray to screen 15 circular RNAs in 30 plasma samples for diagnosing new onset of atrial fibrillation. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay was then applied to evaluate the expression of selected circular RNAs. Hsa_circRNA_025016 was upregulated in patients with onset of atrial fibrillation, with a high diagnostic accuracy by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. The satisfactory diagnostic performance of hsa_circRNA_025016 persisted in validation cohort. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes biological pathway analysis indicated that hsa_circ_025016 could participate in melanogenesis, insulin secretion, and thyroid hormone signaling pathway. There was a positive correlation between hsa_circ_025016 and fast blood glucose in both cohorts. Conclusions: Hsa_circ_025016 is a novel biomarker of onset of atrial fibrillation after isolated off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
