Project description:The contraction pattern of the heart relies on the activation and conduction of the electrical impulse. Perturbations of cardiac conduction have been associated with congenital and acquired arrhythmias as well as cardiac arrest. The pattern of conduction depends on the regulation of heterogeneous gene expression by key transcription factors and transcriptional enhancers. Here, we assessed the genome-wide occupation of conduction system–regulating transcription factors TBX3, NKX2-5, and GATA4 and of enhancer-associated coactivator p300 in the mouse heart, uncovering cardiac enhancers throughout the genome.

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common muscular dystrophy in adults, is caused by the expression of expanded CUG repeats, which sequester the MBNL1 RNA binding protein. Cardiac involvement, which is characterized by conduction defects and arrhythmias, is the second cause of death of DM1 patients. Down-expression of miR-1 in mice leads to cardiac conduction disturbances and to arrhythmias. Here, we show that miR-1 expression is decreased in DM1 hearts, due to a mis-regulation of the processing of pre-miR-1. MBNL1 binds to UGC motifs located within the pre-miR-1 loop and competes binding of LIN28, which promotes uridylation and blocks pre-miR-1 processing. Finally and consistent with a down-regulation of miR-1, known, GJA1, and novel, CACNA1C, targets of miR-1 are increased in DM1 hearts. CACNA1C and GJA1 encode the main calcium and gap junction channels in heart, respectively, and their mis-regulation may contribute to the heart arrythmias and conduction defects observed in DM1 patients. Total RNA of 3 control and 3 CDM1 primary culture of muscle cells differentiated 10 days into myotubes was extracted using Trizol and analyzed by Agilent microarray.

Project description:Arrhythmias are a hallmark of myocardial infarction (MI) and increase patient mortality. The cardiac conduction system is implicated in arrhythmias, but how it is altered following MI is poorly understood. We demonstrate complete conduction system restoration during neonatal mouse heart regeneration, versus pathological remodelling at non-regenerative stages. Tissue-cleared whole-organ imaging identified disorganised bundling of conduction fibres after MI, global His/Purkinje disruption and regional loss of connexin-40. Single-cell RNA-sequencing revealed that Purkinje cells undergo specific molecular changes to regenerate the network, versus sustained aberrant electrical alterations during fibrotic repair. This manifested functionally as transition from normal rhythm to pathological conduction delay beyond the regenerative window. Modelling the non-regenerative phenotype in the infarcted human heart implicated these changes as causative for bundle branch block and ventricular dyssynchrony, as observed in patients. These findings elucidate the mechanisms underpinning conduction system regeneration versus repair and reveal the consequences of MI-induced damage for clinical arrhythmogenesis.

Project description:Fibrotic changes in the myocardium and cardiac arrhythmias represent fatal complications in rheumatic disease systemic sclerosis (SSc), however the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Fos-related antigen-2 (Fosl-2) has been implicated in development of organ fibrosis. Mice overexpressing Fosl-2 (Fosl-2tg) showed interstitial cardiac fibrosis, disorganized connexin43/40 in intercalated discs and deregulated expression of genes controlling conduction system. Fosl-2tg mice developed higher heart rate (HR), prolonged QT intervals, arrhythmias with prevalence of premature ventricular contractions, ventricular tachycardias, II-degree atrio-ventricular blocks and reduced HR variability. Following stimulation with isoproterenol Fosl-2tg mice showed impaired HR response. To assess the role of inflammation in cardiac fibrosis we used Rag2-/-Fosl-2tg mice lacking T/B cells. These mice showed no myocardial fibrosis and ECG abnormalities. Transcriptomics analysis of cardiac Rag-2-/-Fosl-2wt/Rag2-/-Fosl-2tg/Fosl-2tg fibroblasts revealed that systemic inflammation triggered fibrotic and arrhythmogenic alterations while Fosl-2-overexpression mediated profibrotic signature. In human cardiac fibroblasts FOSL-2-overexpression enhanced myofibroblast signature under proinflammatory or profibrotic stimuli. These results demonstrate that under immunofibrotic conditions activator protein 1 transcription factor component Fosl-2 exaggerates myocardial fibrosis, arrhythmias and aberrant response to stress.

Project description:Sudden cardiac death is the number one cause of death worldwide. Major causes of sudden cardiac death include myocardial infarction and cardiomyopathies. To develop novel therapeutic strategies, we need to identify key factors that are required for proper cardiac function and are dysregulated in the diseased heart. Under this notion, we found T-box 5 (TBX5), a transcription factor regarded solely in the context of congenital heart disease, to be downregulated in human diseased left ventricles. To investigate the effects of TBX5 loss in the adult heart, we generated an inducible ventricular cardiomyocyte specific knock-out mouse model (vTbx5KO). We performed integrative genome-wide chromatin occupancy and transcriptomic analysis and identified 47 downregulated transcripts in vTbx5KO that contain TBX5 active enhancers. The TBX5 targets in the ventricle included genes implicated in cardiac conduction and contraction (Gja1, Kcnj5, Kcng2, Cacna1g, Chrm2), cytoskeleton organization (Fstl4, Pdlim4, Emilin2, Cmya5) as well as cardiac protection upon stress (Fhl2, Gpr22, Fgf16). In line with this analysis, vTbx5KO mice presented cardiac conduction defects and arrhythmias at baseline as well as exacerbated cardiac remodeling upon Angiotensin II-induced hypertrophy. In conclusion, this study uncovers a novel protective role of TBX5 upon cardiac remodeling and renders TBX5 as an interesting therapeutic target.

Project description:Conduction slowing of the electric impulse that drives the heartbeat may evoke lethal cardiac arrhythmias. Mutations in SCN5A, which encodes the pore-forming cardiac sodium channel alpha subunit, are associated with familial arrhythmia syndromes based on conduction slowing. However, disease severity among mutation carriers is highly variable. We hypothesized that genetic modifiers underlie the variability in conduction slowing and disease severity. With the aim of identifying such modifiers, we studied the Scn5a(1798insD/+) mutation in 2 distinct mouse strains, FVB/N and 129P2. In 129P2 mice, the mutation resulted in more severe conduction slowing particularly in the right ventricle (RV) compared to FVB/N. Pan-genomic mRNA expression profiling in the 2 mouse strains uncovered a drastic reduction in mRNA encoding the sodium channel auxiliary subunit beta4 (Scn4b) in 129P2 mice compared to FVB/N. This corresponded to low to undetectable beta4 protein levels in 129P2 ventricular tissue, whereas abundant beta4 protein was detected in FVB/N. Sodium current measurements in isolated myocytes from the 2 mouse strains indicated that sodium channel activation in myocytes from 129P2 mice occurred at more positive potentials compared to FVB/N. Using computer simulations, this difference in activation kinetics was predicted to explain the observed differences in conduction disease severity between the 2 strains. In conclusion, genetically determined differences in sodium current characteristics on the myocyte level modulate disease severity in cardiac sodium channelopathies. In particular, the sodium channel subunit beta4 (SCN4B) may constitute a potential genetic modifier of conduction and cardiac sodium channel disease.
