Project description:Mice respond to myocardial infarction (MI) by generating a fibrotic scar in the heart. This is accompanied by systemic inflammation after the MI resolves. In contrast, zebrafish can fully regenerate their heart after heart injury. To further investigate the divergent species’ responses to cardiac injury, single cell transcriptomic analyses were performed on the heart, blood, liver, kidney, and pancreatic islets.

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to cardiomyocyte death, which triggers an immune response that clears debris and restores tissue integrity. In the adult heart, the immune system facilitates scar formation, which repairs the damaged myocardium but compromises cardiac function. In neonatal mice, the heart can regenerate fully without scarring following MI; however, this regenerative capacity is lost by P7. The signals that govern neonatal heart regeneration are unknown. By comparing the immune response to MI in mice at P1 and P14, we identified differences in the magnitude and kinetics of monocyte and macrophage responses to injury. Using a cell-depletion model, we determined that heart regeneration and neoangiogenesis following MI depends on neonatal macrophages. Neonates depleted of macrophages were unable to regenerate myocardia and formed fibrotic scars, resulting in reduced cardiac function and angiogenesis. Immunophenotyping and gene expression profiling of cardiac macrophages from regenerating and nonregenerating hearts indicated that regenerative macrophages have a unique polarization phenotype and secrete numerous soluble factors that may facilitate the formation of new myocardium. Our findings suggest that macrophages provide necessary signals to drive angiogenesis and regeneration of the neonatal mouse heart. Modulating inflammation may provide a key therapeutic strategy to support heart regeneration. Total RNA was isolated from CD11b+Ly6G- cells sorted from hearts 3 days following ligation of LAD. 6 samples total: Triplicates of cells from P1 mice and from P14 mice

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) results from occlusion of blood supply to the heart muscle causing death of cardiac muscle cells. Following myocardial infarction (MI), scar formation acts to mechanically stabilise the injured heart to prevent rupture and death. While fibroblasts and macrophages are implicated in post-MI scar formation and maturation, their exact contributions to this process are poorly characterised, especially in the long-term (i.e., beyond 1-week post-MI). Here, we employ state-of-the-art spatially-targetted optical micro-proteomics (STOMP) to isolate proteomes of tissue fractions enriched for fibroblasts (sma+) and macrophages (cd68+) over a 6-week post-MI timecourse and compare them to whole-scar proteome. We illustrate dynamic, specific changes in sma- and cd68-enriched fraction protein composition over 1-6 weeks post-MI with some of these changes reflected in whole-infarct preparations. These results link specific cell populations to specific protein changes in whole infarct.

Project description:The mammalian heart possesses a poor ability to regenerate after acute ischemic cardiac injury and lost cardiac muscle is replaced by scar tissue. Multiple clinical studies demonstrate that the size of scar tissue following myocardial infarction is an independent predictor of cardiovascular outcomes, yet little is known about factors that regulate the size of scar after ischemic cardiac injury. In this report, we demonstrate that collagen V, a fibrillar collagen and a minor constituent of heart scars regulates the size of heart scars after ischemic cardiac injury. Depletion of collagen V in heart scars in two independent animal models led to a significant and paradoxical increase in post infarction scar tissue size with worsening of heart function. A systems genetics approach analyzing genes versus traits across 100 in-bred strains of mice independently demonstrated that collagen V is a critical driver of post injury heart function. We show that collagen V deficiency alters the ultra-structure and mechanical properties of scar tissue that make it more vulnerable to expansion. There is altered reciprocal feedback between matrix and cells that induce expression of specific mechanosensitive integrins which drive fibroblast activation and increased ECM gene expression. Scar size increases. Administration of cilengitide, an inhibitor of specific integrins, completely rescues the phenotype of increased post injury scarring, myofibroblast formation and cardiac dysfunction in collagen V deficient mice. These observations demonstrate that collagen V, a structural constituent of heart scar tissue regulates scar size in an integrin dependent manner.

Project description:In this study, we used a cardiac-specific, inducible expression system to activate YAP in adult mouse heart. Activation of YAP in adult heart promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation and did not deleteriously affect heart function. Furthermore, YAP activation after myocardial infarction (MI) preserved heart function and reduced infarct size. Using adeno-associated virus subtype 9 (AAV9) as a delivery vector, we expressed human YAP in the murine myocardium immediately after MI. We found that AAV9:hYAP significantly improved cardiac function and mouse survival. AAV9:hYAP did not exert its salutary effects by reducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Rather, we found that AAV9:hYAP stimulated adult cardiomyocyte proliferation. Gene expression profiling indicated that AAV9:hYAP stimulated cell cycle gene expression, enhanced TGFβ-signaling, and activated of components of the inflammatory response.Cardiac specific YAP activation after MI mitigated myocardial injury after MI, improved cardiac function and mouse survival. These findings suggest that therapeutic activation of hYAP or its downstream targets, potentially through AAV-mediated gene therapy, may be a strategy to improve outcome after MI. Three groups were involved in this study: sham group, AAV9:Luci+MI group and AAV9-YAP+MI group. Each group contained three biological replicates. The sham group had neither myocardial infarction nor AAV injection. The AAV9:Luci +MI(L for brief) group had myocardial infarction and injected with AAV9:Luic. The AAV9:hYAP+MI(YAP for brief) group had myocardial infarction and injected with AAV9:hYAP. 5 days after MI and AAV injection, the heart apexes were collected and the total RNA were isolated for microarray analysis.

Project description:Mice with either a cranial bone defect, skin biopsy punch injury, quadriceps volumetric muscle loss defect or myocardial infarction (MI) were treated with Tregs, either via local hydrogel-mediated delivery (for bone, muscle and skin), or with systemic (intravenous) delivery (for heart). Control mice were treated with hydrogel alone (for bone, muscle and skin) or PBS (for heart). On day 4 and 7 post-MI, the injured tissues were harvested and the endogenous monocytes/macrophages were sorted and used for mini-bulk RNA sequencing, to compare the transcriptomic profiles of injured tissue monocytes/macrophages in Treg-treated and untreated mice post-injury.

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) contributes to cardiac mortality and morbidity. After myocardial infarction the innate immune response is pivotal in clearing of tissue debris as well as scar formation, but exaggerated cytokine and chemokine secretion with subsequent leukocyte infiltration also leads to further tissue damage. Post-translational regulation of cytokine / chemokine signaling occurs via ectodomain shedding through a disintegrin and metalloproteases (ADAMs). Here, we address the value of targeting a previously unknown ADAM10 / CX3CL1 axis in the regulation of neutrophil recruitment early after MI. We show that myocardial ADAM10 is distinctly upregulated in biopsies from patients with ischemia-driven cardiomyopathy and correlates with heart failure progression. Intriguingly, upon MI in mice, pharmacological treatment with the ADAM10 inhibitionor GI254023X as well as genetic cardiomycyte-specific ADAM10 deletion improves survival with markedly enhanced heart function and reduced scar size. Mechanistically, this is driven by abolished ADAM10-mediated CX3CL1 ectodomain shedding followed by diminished IL-1β-dependent inflammation, reduced neutrophil bone marrow egress as well as myocardial tissue infiltration. Genetic cardiomycyte-specific ADAM10 deletion confirmes the small-molecule data and leads to improved cardiac function and reduction in inflammatory markers after ischemic myocardial injury. Thus, our data shows a conceptual insight into how acute MI induces chemotactic signaling via ectodomain shedding in cardiomyocytes.
