Gene expression in mouse neonatal cardiomyocytes, cardiac fibroblasts, reprogramming failed GFP- cells, and GFP+ iCMs

ABSTRACT: The reprogramming of fibroblast cells to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells raises the possibility that a somatic cell could be reprogrammed to an alternative differentiated fate without first becoming a stem/progenitor cell. A large pool of fibroblast cells exists in the post-natal heart, yet no single “master regulator” of direct cardiac reprogramming has been identified. Here, we report that a combination of three developmental transcription factors (i.e., Gata4, Mef2c and Tbx5) rapidly and efficiently reprogrammed post-natal cardiac or tail-tip fibroblasts directly into differentiated cardiomyocyte-like cells. Induced cardiomyocytes expressed cardiac-specific markers, had a global gene expression profile similar to cardiomyocytes, and contracted spontaneously. Fibroblast cells transplanted into mouse hearts one day after transduction of the three factors also differentiated into cardiomyocyte-like cells. These findings demonstrate that functional cardiomyocytes can be directly reprogrammed from differentiated somatic cells by defined factors. Reprogramming of endogenous or explanted fibroblast cells might provide a source of cardiomyocytes for regenerative approaches.

Dynamics of H3K4me2 during cardiac lineage reprogramming

Project description:During reprogramming of fibroblasts into cardiomyocyte-like cells by overexpression of transcription factors, GATA4, Hand2, Mef2C and Tbx5 (GHMT), H3K4Me2, an active histone code, shifts from fibroblast-exclusive peaks to cardiomyocyte-exclusive peaks. Important cardiac genes are gradually marked by this active histone marker. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and neonatal mouse ventricular cardiomyocytes (NMVMs) represent fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes, respectively. Chromatins harvested from MEFs infected with retroviruses carrying GHMT at day 3, day 5, day 7 post-viral infection were prepared for immunoprecipitation.

Genome-wide maps of chromatin state during cardiac reprogramming of human fibroblasts by small molecules

Project description:Cardiomyocyte-like cells can be reprogrammed from somatic fibroblasts by overexpression of cardiac genes, providing a new avenue for cardiac regenerative therapy. Here we report an alternative approach in which functional cardiomyocytes can be rapidly and efficiently generated from human fibroblasts by a specific combination of small molecules. ChIP-seq analysis has been used to understand the dynamic changes in chromatin state during early stage of reprogramming. We analyzed the genome-wide epigenetic changes by ChIP-seq analysis of H3K4me3 and H3K27ac (active chromatin marks) and H3K27me3 (inactive chromatin mark) at reprogramming Day 6 (D6) and day 11 (D11).

Cardiac reprogramming under defined conditions

Project description:FGF2, FGF10, and VEGF greatly promote cardiac reprogramming under defined serum-free conditions by enhancing the conversion of partially reprogrammed cells into fully reprogrammed functional iCMs. Fibroblasts can be directly reprogrammed into cardiomyocyte-like cells (iCMs) by overexpression of cardiac transcription factors, including Gata4, Mef2c, and Tbx5; however, this process is inefficient under serum-based culture conditions, in which the conversion of partially reprogrammed cells into fully reprogrammed functional iCMs has been a major hurdle. Here, we report that a combination of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 2, FGF10, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), termed FFV, promoted cardiac reprogramming under defined serum-free conditions, increasing spontaneously beating iCMs by 100-fold compared with those under conventional serum-based conditions. Mechanistically, FFV activated multiple cardiac transcriptional regulators and converted partially reprogrammed cells into functional iCMs through the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphoinositol 3-kinase/AKT pathways. Moreover, FFV enabled cardiac reprogramming with only Mef2c and Tbx5 through the induction of cardiac reprogramming factors, including Gata4. Thus, defined culture conditions promoted the quality of cardiac reprogramming, and this finding provides new insights into the mechanism of cardiac reprogramming.

Gene expression in mouse embyonic cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts and adult cardiac fibroblasts

Project description:Growth and expansion of ventricular chambers is essential during cardiogenesis and is achieved by proliferation of cardiac progenitors that are not fully differentiated. Disruption of this process can lead to prenatal lethality. In contrast, adult cardiomyocytes achieve growth through hypertrophy rather than hyperplasia. Although epicardial-derived signals may contribute to the proliferative process in myocytes, the factors and cell types responsible for development of the ventricular myocardial thickness are unclear. Moreover, the function of embryonic cardiac fibroblasts, derived from epicardium, and their secreted factors are largely unknown. Using a novel co-culture system, we found that embryonic cardiac fibroblasts induced proliferation of cardiomyocytes, in contrast to adult cardiac fibroblasts that promoted myocyte hypertrophy. We identified fibronectin, collagen and heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor as embryonic cardiac fibroblast-specific signals that collaboratively promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation in a paracrine fashion. b1 integrin was required for this proliferative response, and ventricular cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of b1 integrin in mice resulted in reduced myocardial proliferation and impaired ventricular compaction. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized paracrine function of embryonic cardiac fibroblasts in regulating cardiomyocyte proliferation. To identify candidate fibroblast-derived factors that promote myocyte proliferation, we isolated RNA from Nkx-YFP+ cardiomyocytes, embryonic cardiac fibroblasts, and adult cardiac fibroblasts and profiled mRNA expressions by microarray analyses. Arrays were performed using Affymetrix mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays. Analysis was performed on three biological replicates of mouse embyonic cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts and adult cardiac fibroblasts.

Gene expression profile of cardiomyocyte-like cells derived from human foreskin and lung fibroblasts, and human ES cell-derived cardiomyocytes

Project description:Cardiomyocyte-like cells can be reprogrammed from somatic fibroblasts by combinations of genes, providing a new avenue for cardiac regenerative therapy. Here we show that functional cardiomyocytes can be rapidly and efficiently generated from human fibroblasts by specific combination small molecules. Microarray analysis has been used to compare the expression profile of cardiomyocyte-like cells derived from human foreskin and lung fibroblasts, and human ES cell-derived cardiomyocytes. Cardiomyocytes generated from different origins were metabolically purified under glucose-depleted and lactate-abundant conditions for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Analysis of transcriptomes during cardioac reprogramming by RNA-deep Sequencing

Project description:Fibroblasts can be reprogrammed into cardiomyocyte-like cells by overexpressing transcription factors, GATA4, Hand2, Mef2C and Tbx5 (GHMT). A83-01, an inhibitor of ALK4, ALK5 and ALK7 and two microRNA, miR-1 and miR-133 increase the efficiency of cardiac reprogramming. RNA_Seq was performed to anyalyze effects of these factors on gene expression. Total RNAs were prepared from mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs); Reprogramming fibroblasts including MEFs transduced with retroviruses encoding GHMT, MEFs transduced with with retroviruses encoding GHMT plus miR-1 and miR-133 (GHMT2m), MEFs transduced with with retroviruses encoding GHMT2m treated with A83-01, at day 7 after viral transduction; and neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes (NMCMs).

Akt1/Protein Kinase B Enhances Transcriptional Reprogramming of Fibroblasts to Functional Cardiomyocytes

Project description:Conversion of fibroblasts to functional cardiomyocytes represents a potential approach for restoring cardiac function following myocardial injury, but the technique thus far has been slow and inefficient. To improve the efficiency of reprogramming fibroblasts to cardiac-like myocytes (iCMs) by cardiac transcription factors (Gata4, Hand2, Mef2c, and Tbx5=GHMT), we screened 192 protein kinases and discovered that Akt/protein kinase B dramatically accelerates and amplifies this process. Approximately 50% of reprogrammed fibroblasts displayed spontaneous beating after three weeks of induction by Akt plus GHMT. Furthermore, addition of Akt1 to GHMT evoked a more mature cardiac phenotype for iCMs, as seen by enhanced polynucleation, cellular hypertrophy, gene expression, and metabolic reprogramming. Igf1 and Pi3 kinase acted upstream of Akt, whereas mTORC1 and Foxo3a acted downstream of Akt to influence fibroblast-to-cardiomyocyte reprogramming. These findings provide new insights into the molecular basis of cardiac reprogramming and represent an important step toward further application of this technique.
