GATA6 regulates WNT and BMP programs to pattern precardiac mesoderm during the earliest stages of human cardiogenesis (CUT&RUN)

ABSTRACT: Haploinsufficiency for GATA6 is associated with congenital heart disease (CHD) with variable comorbidity of pancreatic or diaphragm defects, although the etiology of disease is not well understood. Here, we used cardiac directed differentiation from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) as a platform to study GATA6 function during early cardiogenesis. GATA6 loss-of-function hESCs had a profound impairment in cardiac progenitor cell (CPC) specification and cardiomyocyte (CM) generation due to early defects during the mesendoderm and lateral mesoderm patterning stages. Profiling by RNA-seq and CUT&RUN identified genes of the WNT and BMP programs regulated by GATA6 during early mesoderm patterning. Furthermore, interactome analysis detected GATA6 binding with developmental transcription factors and chromatin remodelers suggesting cooperative regulation of cardiac lineage gene accessibility. We show that modulating WNT and BMP inputs during the first 48 hours of cardiac differentiation is sufficient to partially rescue CPC and CM defects in GATA6 heterozygous and homozygous mutant hESCs. This study provides evidence of the regulatory functions for GATA6 directing human precardiac mesoderm patterning during the earliest stages of cardiogenesis to further our understanding of haploinsufficiency causing CHD and the co-occurrence of cardiac and other organ defects caused by human GATA6 mutations.

Transcriptional specification of early cardiac precursor cells at single cell resolution

Project description:Transcriptional networks governing cardiac precursor cell (CPC) specification are incompletely understood due in part to limitations in distinguishing CPCs from non-cardiac mesoderm in early gastrulation. We leveraged detection of early cardiac lineage transgenes within a granular single cell transcriptomic time course of mouse embryos to identify emerging CPCs and describe their transcriptional profiles. Mesp1, a transiently-expressed mesodermal transcription factor (TF), is canonically described as an early regulator of cardiac specification. However, we observed perdurance of CPC transgene-expressing cells in Mesp1 mutants, albeit mis-localized, prompting us to investigate the scope of Mesp1’s role in CPC emergence and differentiation. Mesp1 mutant CPCs failed to robustly activate markers of cardiomyocyte maturity and critical cardiac TFs, yet they exhibited transcriptional profiles resembling cardiac mesoderm progressing towards cardiomyocyte fates. Single cell chromatin accessibility analysis defined a Mesp1-dependent developmental breakpoint in cardiac lineage progression at a shift from mesendoderm transcriptional networks to those necessary for cardiac patterning and morphogenesis. These results reveal Mesp1-independent aspects of early CPC specification and underscore a Mesp1-dependent regulatory landscape required for progression through cardiogenesis.

TET1-V5 ChIP-seq

Project description:Changes in DNA methylation are associated with normal cardiogenesis, while altered methylation patterns can occur in congenital heart disease. Ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and promote locus-specific DNA demethylation. Here we characterize stage-specific methylation dynamics and the function of TETs during directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to cardiomyocyte (CM) fate. No defect is observed using isogenic TET2, TET3 or TET2/3 double knockout lines, while TET1 knockout lines display a significant decrease in capacity to generate CTNT+ CMs. Moreover, hESCs in which all three TET genes are inactivated (TET TKO hESCs) fail entirely to generate CMs. TET-deficient cells display altered mesoderm patterning and defective cardiac progenitor specification. Genome-wide methylation analysis shows that TETs are required first to maintain hypomethylation of early regulatory genes, and subsequently for demethylation of cardiac structural genes. Mechanistically, TET knockout causes promoter hypermethylation of genes encoding WNT inhibitors, leading to hyperactivated WNT signaling and defects in cardiac mesoderm patterning. TET activity is also needed to maintain hypomethylated status and expression of NKX2-5 for subsequent cardiac progenitor specification. Finally, loss of TETs causes a set of cardiac structural genes to fail to be demethylated at the cardiac progenitor stage. Our data demonstrate key roles for TET proteins to control methylation dynamics at sequential steps during human cardiac development.

Cardiac organoids reveal mechanisms of human cardiogenesis

Project description:Self-organisation and coordinated morphogenesis of multiple cardiac lineages is essential for the development and function of the heart1-3. However, the absence of a human in vitro model that mimics the basic lineage architecture of the heart hinders research into developmental mechanisms and congenital defects4. Here, we describe the establishment of a reliable, lineage-controlled and high-throughput cardiac organoid platform. We show that cardiac mesoderm derived from human pluripotent stem cells robustly self-organises and differentiates into cardiomyocytes forming a cavity. Co-differentiation of cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells from cardiac mesoderm within these structures is required to form a separate endothelial layer. As in vivo, the epicardium engulfs these cardiac organoids, migrates into the cardiomyocyte layer and differentiates. We use this model to demonstrate that cardiac cavity formation is controlled by a mesodermal WNT-BMP signalling axis. Disruption of one of the key BMP targets in cardiac mesoderm, the transcription factor HAND1, interferes with cavity formation, which is consistent with its role in early heart tube and left chamber development5. Thus, the cardiac organoid platform represents a powerful resource for the quantitative and mechanistic analysis of early human cardiogenesis and defects that are otherwise inaccessible. Beyond understanding congenital heart disease, cardiac organoids provide a foundation for future translational research into human cardiac disorders.

Mink1 Kinase Regulates Dorsal Mesodermal Cell Fate in the Xenopus Gastrula via HMGA2

Project description:Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect and leading cause of infant mortality, yet molecular mechanisms explaining CHD remain mostly unknown. Sequencing studies are identifying CHD candidate genes at a brisk rate including MINK1, a serine/threonine kinase. However, a plausible molecular mechanism connecting CHD and MINK1 is unknown. Here, we reveal that mink1 is required for proper heart development due to its role in left right patterning. mink1 defines the cell fates of the Left-Right Organizer (LRO), a ciliated structure in the posterior mesoderm that breaks bilateral symmetry in vertebrate embryos. To identify mink1 targets, we applied an unbiased proteomics approach and identified the transcription factor, HMGA2. HMGA2 is necessary and sufficient for specifying Spemann’s Organizer, which can neuralize the ectoderm and dorsalize the mesoderm. Indeed, we demonstrate that HMGA2 is downstream of catenin, a critical effector of the Wnt signaling pathway that is well known to induce Spemann Organizer cell fates. In summary, we discover a transcription factor, HMGA2, that is downstream of mink1 that is critical for the specification of Spemann’s Organizer as well as the LRO defining a plausible mechanism for CHD.

Chromatin remodeler Brahma safeguards labile canalization of cardiac mesoderm differentiation

Project description:Differentiation proceeds along a continuum of increasingly fate-restricted intermediates, referred to as canalization. Canalization is essential for stabilizing cell fate, but mechanisms underlying robust canalization are unclear. Here we show that the BRG1/BRM-associated factor (BAF) chromatin remodeling complex ATPase gene Brm safeguards cell identity during directed cardiogenesis of mouse embryonic stem cells. Despite establishment of well-differentiated precardiac mesoderm, Brm-null cells predominantly became neural precursors, violating germ layer assignment. Trajectory inference showed sudden acquisition of non-mesodermal identity in Brm-null cells, consistent with a new transition state referred to as a saddle-node bifurcation. Mechanistically, loss of Brm prevented de novo accessibility of cardiac enhancers while increasing expression of neurogenic factor POU3F1, preventing expression of neural suppressor REST, and disrupting composition of BRG1 complexes. Brm mutant identity switch was overcome by increasing BMP4 levels during mesoderm induction. Mathematical modeling supports all our observations. In the mouse embryo, Brm deletion exacerbated mesoderm-deleted Brg1 mutant phenotypes, severely compromising cardiogenesis, unmasking an in vivo role for Brm. Our results reveal Brm as a compensable safeguard of the fidelity of mesoderm chromatin states, and support a model in which developmental canalization is not a rigid irreversible path, but a highly plastic trajectory.
