RNA splicing controls organ-wide maturation of postnatal heart in mice


ABSTRACT: Postnatal cardiac development requires the orchestrated maturation of diverse cellular components, for which unifying control mechanisms are still lacking. Using full-length sequencing, we examined the transcriptomic landscape of the maturating mouse heart (E18.5-P28) at single-cell and transcript isoform resolution. We identified dynamically changing intercellular networks as a molecular basis of the maturing heart, and alternative splicing (AS) as a common mechanism that distinguished developmental age. Manipulation of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) remodeled the AS landscape, cardiac cell maturation, and intercellular communication through direct binding of splice targets, which were enriched for functions related to general, as well as cell type-specific, maturation. Overexpression of an RBP NCBP2 in neonatal hearts repressed cardiac maturation. Together, our data suggest AS regulation by RBPs as an organ-level control mechanism in mammalian postnatal cardiac development, and provide insight into the possibility of manipulating RBPs for therapeutic purposes.
