Cardiogenic genes expressed in cardiac fibroblasts contribute to heart development and repair

ABSTRACT: Cardiac fibroblasts are critical to proper heart function through multiple interactions with the myocardial compartment. Loosely defined based on their mesenchymal origin, capacity to adhere to plastic and to secrete extracellular matrix, cardiac fibroblasts have been largely neglected due to heterogeneity and lack of proper markers. Objective: To identify genes uniquely expressed in the cardiac fibroblast pool, we performed an unbiased comparative analysis between cardiac and tail fibroblasts, and tracked cardiac fibroblasts after injury to determine their contribution to myocardial regeneration. Methods and Results: High-throughput cell surface and intracellular profiling identified homogeneously expressed MSC markers in cardiac fibroblasts, as well as a surprising number of cardiogenic markers, some expressed at higher levels than in cardiomyocytes. Genetically marked fibroblasts contributed to interstitial but not cardiomyocyte compartments in infarcted hearts. Conclusions: The core transcriptional identity of cardiac fibroblasts reflects their embryological origin, provoking novel interpretations for studies on more specialized cardiac progenitors, and offering a novel perspective for reinterpreting cardiac regenerative therapies

Genetic profiling and surface proteome analysis of epicardial derived cells reveals cardiogenic potential

Project description:Rationale: Epicardium-derived cells (EPDC) are formed in response to myocardial infarction and recapitulate an embryonic program that is likely to participate in cardiac regeneration and remodeling. The existence of atrial counterparts that are potentially involved in atrial remodeling is still elusive. Objective: We have elaborated and validated techniques for the robust isolation and cultivation of atrial and ventricular EPDC from the rat heart and compared their molecular phenotype with human atrial stromal cells obtained from tissue biopsies. Methods and Results: In vitro culture revealed that rat and human cells display a similar morphology, are highly enriched for the epicardial markers WT-1 and Tbx18 throughout in vitro expansion, strongly express the stem/progenitor cell markers CD73, CD90 and, surprisingly the early and late cardiac markers Gata4, Tbx5 and troponin T. In general, these cells display a similar molecular signature - which is different from human MSC - when analyzed by FACS, immunohistochemistry and real time PCR. We also examined the cell surface proteome of human and rat EPDC using cell surface biotinylation combined with nano-liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry. Proteome analysis revealed the presence of 149 overlapping proteins and >200 species specific proteins. These proteins are preferentially involved in cardiac repair and regeneration. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that atrial stromal cells are EPDC suggesting a common epicardial precursor. Cell surface proteome analysis suggests that atrial and ventricular EPDC are likely to play an important role during atrial and ventricular remodeling.

Single cell RNA-seq analysis reveals the crucial role of Collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (Cthrc1) cardiac fibroblasts for ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction [RNA-seq]

Project description:Cardiac fibroblasts have a central role during the ventricular remodeling process associated to different types of cardiac injury. Recent studies have shown that fibroblasts do not respond homogeneously to heart damage, suggesting that the adult myocardium may contain specialized fibroblast subgroups with specific functions. Due to the limited set of bona fide fibroblast markers, a proper characterization of fibroblast population dynamics in response to cardiac damage is still missing. Using single cell RNA-seq we have identified and characterized a fibroblast subpopulation that emerges in response to myocardial infarction (MI) in a murine model. These activated fibroblasts exhibit a clear pro-fibrotic signature, express high levels of the hormone CTHRC1 and of the immunomodulatory co-receptor CD200, and localize to the wounded myocardium. Combining epigenomic profiling with functional assays, we unveil important candidate regulators mediating their response to cardiac damage. We show that the absence of CTHRC1, a top marker of this activated fibroblast subpopulation, results in pronounced lethality due to ventricular rupture within the first week post-myocardial infarction. Finally, we find evidence for the existence of similar mechanisms in a pig pre-clinical model of MI and establish a positive correlation between Cthrc1 levels and cardiac function after MI.

Transcriptional Remodeling in Human Cardiac Fibroblasts and Myocytes Induced by Oxygen-Dependent Crosstalk

Project description:Myocardial infarctions are caused by coronary occlusions that deprive downstream myocardial tissue of oxygenated blood, leading to localized necrosis of cardiac myocytes. Hypoxic injury drives a remodeling process in which cardiac fibroblasts activate and synthesize matrix proteins to form a scar. During this process, cardiac cells are exposed to an oxygen gradient at the infarct border zone that transitions from 0% oxygen at the site of injury to 10% oxygen in healthy myocardium. However, the impact of any crosstalk between hypoxic cardiac fibroblasts and neighboring, normoxic (10% oxygen) cardiac cells is unexplored because conventional research tools cannot re-create spatially heterogeneous oxygen landscapes. Here, we used a microfluidic device to co-culture hypoxic cardiac fibroblasts with (1) normoxic cardiac fibroblasts or (2) normoxic human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiac myocytes. We then compared their transcriptome to the same cells cultured in uniform hypoxia or normoxia. These data contribute to more advanced understanding of how oxygen-dependent crosstalk between cardiac cells impacts the wound healing process post-myocardial infarction.

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.

Cardiac Reprogramming Factors Synergistically Activate Genome-wide Cardiogenic Stage-Specific Enhancers (RNA-seq data set)

Project description:Fibroblasts can be directly reprogrammed toward a cardiac fate by introducing cardiogenic transcription factors (TFs), although the underlying mechanisms of the cardiac reprogramming process remain unclear. Three cardiac TFs, GATA4, MEF2C, and Tbx5 (referred to as GMT) can activate cardiac genes in fibroblasts and their cardiogenic activity is enhanced by the Hand2 TF and the Akt1 kinase. To understand the mechanistic basis of cardiac reprogramming, we performed a genome-wide analysis of cardiogenic TF binding sites and active enhancers, which were annotated by H3K27ac histone modification, during the reprogramming process. We found that cardiogenic TFs rapidly co-occupy core regulatory elements of cardiac genes and activate myriad cardiac enhancers that are enriched predominantly in Mef2 binding sites. Addition of Hand2 and Akt1 to the GMT reprogramming cocktail expands the spectrum of co-occupied active cardiac enhancers. As reprogramming proceeds over time, reprogramming TFs continue to activate additional cardiac enhancers, which are also enriched for Mef2 motifs, while fibroblast enhancers are silenced. This transition of the enhancer landscape strongly correlated with changes in the fibroblast and cardiac transcriptome. To test the relevance of cardiac reprogramming enhancers to the regulation of cardiogenesis in vivo, we assayed a collection of reprogramming enhancers in transgenic mouse embryos and found that they directed highly specific expression patterns in the developing heart. Our findings demonstrate that Hand2 and Akt1 enhance reprogramming by facilitating cardiac enhancer occupancy and identify Mef2 as a central effector of cardiac reprogramming, which coordinates the actions of accessory factors across a broad landscape of cardiac enhancers.
