Project description:Background: Direct cardiac reprogramming is currently being investigated for the generation of cells with a true cardiomyocyte (CM) phenotype. Based on the original approach of cardiac transcription factor-induced reprogramming of fibroblasts into CM-like cells, various modifications of that strategy have been developed. However, they uniformly suffer from poor reprogramming efficacy and a lack of translational tools for target cell expansion and purification. Therefore, our group has developed a unique approach to generate proliferative cells with a pre-CM phenotype that can be expanded in vitro to yield substantial cell doses. Methods: Cardiac fibroblasts were reprogrammed toward CM fate using lentiviral transduction of cardiac transcriptions factors (GATA4, MEF2C, TBX5, and MYOCD). The resulting cellular phenotype was analyzed by RNA sequencing and immunocytology. Live target cells were purified based on intracellular CM marker expression using molecular beacon technology and fluorescence-activated cell sorting. CM commitment was assessed using 5-azacytidine–based differentiation assays and the therapeutic effect was evaluated in a mouse model of acute myocardial infarction using echocardiography and histology. The cellular secretome was analyzed using mass spectrometry. Results: We found that proliferative CM precursor-like cells were part of the phenotype spectrum arising during direct reprogramming of fibroblasts toward CMs. These induced CM precursors (iCMPs) expressed CPC- and CM-specific proteins and were selectable via hairpin-shaped oligonucleotide hybridization probes targeting Myh6/7-mRNA–expressing cells. After purification, iCMPs were capable of extensive expansion, with preserved phenotype when under ascorbic acid supplementation, and gave rise to CM-like cells with organized sarcomeres in differentiation assays. When transplanted into infarcted mouse hearts, iCMPs prevented CM loss, attenuated fibrotic scarring, and preserved ventricular function, which can in part be attributed to their substantial secretion of factors with documented beneficial effect on cardiac repair. Conclusions: Fibroblast reprogramming combined with molecular beacon-based cell selection yields an iCMP-like cell population with cardioprotective potential. Further studies are needed to elucidate mechanism-of-action and translational potential.

Project description:Circadian clocks are cell autonomous, transcriptionally-based, molecular mechanisms that confer the selective advantage of anticipation, enabling cells/organs to respond to environmental factors in a temporally appropriate manner. Critical to circadian clock function are two transcription factors, CLOCK and BMAL1. Previous studies in our laboratory have highlighted roles for CLOCK in cardiac physiology/pathophysiology. Here, we describe transcriptional, metabolic, and functional consequences of cardiomyocyte-specific Bmal1 knockout (CBK). Microarray analysis revealed 2037 differentially expressed genes in CBK hearts, many of which were previously identified in cardiomyocyte-specific Clock mutant (CCM) hearts. Subsequent analysis showed that Beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase 1 mRNA, protein, and enzymatic activity are markedly depressed in both CBK and CCM hearts, as is myocardial Beta-hydroxybutyrate oxidation, revealing a novel role for the circadian clock in ketone body utilization. A number of genes encoding for collagen isoforms were identified as oscillating in a time-of-day-dependent manner in wild-type, but not CBK, hearts, including col3a1, col4a1, and col4a2. Chronic induction of collagen isoform genes in CBK hearts was associated with severe age-dependent depression of cardiac function. Development of cardiomyopathy in CBK mice was associated with early mortality; all CBK mice die by one year of age. These studies highlight novel critical functions for BMAL1 in the heart, including regulation of ketone body metabolism and the extracellular matrix. RNA from whole hearts collected every 3 hours for 24 hours from wildtype and CBK mice was isolated and analyzed using MouseRef-8_V2 BeadChips (Illumina, Inc.). The 24-hour data were examined for rhythmicity using cosinor analysis and differences in rhythmicity between genotype groups were further examined for differences in the model fitting parameters.

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.

Project description:Sympathetic overactivation under strong acute stresses triggers acute cardiovascular events including myocardial infarction (MI), sudden cardiac death, and stress cardiomyopathy. α1-ARs and β-ARs, two dominant subtypes of adrenergic receptors in the heart, play a significant role in the physiological and pathologic regulation of these processes. However, little is known about the functional similarities and differences between α1- and β-ARs activated temporal responses in stress-induced cardiac pathology. In this work, we systematically compared the cardiac temporal genome-wide profiles of acute α1-AR and β-AR activation in the mice model by integrating transcriptome and proteome. We found that α1- and β-AR activations induced sustained and transient inflammatory gene expression, respectively. Particularly, the overactivation of α1-AR but not β-AR led to neutrophil infiltration at 1 day, which was closely associated with the up-regulation of chemokines, activation of NF-κB pathway, and sustained inflammatory response. Furthermore, there are more metabolic disorders under α1-AR overactivation compared with β-AR overactivation. These findings provide a new therapeutic strategy that besides using β-blocker as soon as possible, blocking α1-AR within one day should also be considered in the treatment of acute stress associated cardiovascular diseases.

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs) hold great promise for the repair of the injured heart, but optimal cell production in a fully chemically defined and cost-effective system is essential for the efficacy and safety of cell transplantation therapies. In this study, we provided a simple and efficient strategy for cardiac differentiation from hPSCs and performed functional evaluation in a rat model of myocardial infarction. Using a chemically defined medium including four components, recombinant human albumin, ascorbic acid, human transferrin, and RPMI 1640, we developed a manageable and cost-effective protocol for robust generation of CMs from hPSCs. Interestingly, the addition of transferrin helped hPSCs to transit from TeSR-E8 medium to the simple cardiac differentiation medium and successfully initiated mesoderm differentiation without significant cell death. The CM generation efficiency was up to 85% based on cTnT expression. We performed transcriptome profiling from differentiation day 0 to 35, and characterized interesting dynamic change of cardiac genes. CMs derived from transferrin supplemented simple medium have similar transcriptome and the maturation level compared to cardiomyocytes generated in B27 minus insulin medium as well as their in vivo counterparts. Importantly, after transplantation, hPSC derived CMs survived in the infarcted rat heart, significantly improved the physiological function and reduced fibrosis. Our study offers an easy-to-use and cost-effective method for cardiac differentiation and facilitates the translational application of hPSC-derived CMs for heart repair.

Project description:A recent study suggests that systemic hypoxemia in adult male mice can induce cardiac myocytes to proliferate. The goal of the present experiments was to confirm these results, provide new insights on the mechanisms that induce adult cardiomyocyte cell cycle re-entry, and to determine if hypoxemia also induces cardiomyocyte proliferation in female mice. We also analyzed gene expression using data obtained from RNAseq of ventricular heart tissue from male and female mice subjected to either normoxia or hypoxia.

Project description:Both naturally occurring and artificially engineered multipotent cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) are associated with highly variable cardiomyocyte (CM) differentiation efficiencies, resulting in unpredictable and/or low CM yields. Therefore, CM-committed progenitors may be a more reliable cell product for therapeutic use. Here, we demonstrate that unipotent progenitors are part of the phenotype spectrum arising during direct reprogramming of neonatal cardiac fibroblasts towards CMs using lentiviral transduction of Gata4, Mef2c, Tbx5, and Myocd. Induced CM progenitors (iCMPs) simultaneously express CPC- and CM-specific proteins and can be selected via hairpin oligonucleotide molecular beacons targeting Myh6/7-mRNA–expressing cells. Purified iCMPs can be expanded extensively with preserved phenotype using ascorbic acid and give rise to CM-like cells in differentiation assays. When transplanted into infarcted mouse hearts, iCMPs prevent CM loss, attenuate fibrotic scarring, and preserve ventricular function. Given the clinical failure of conventional cardiac cell therapy using adult stem cells, further translational development of this iCMP approach is warranted.
