Project description:Human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs) are a promising tool for cardiac cell therapy. To optimize graft cells for cardiac reconstruction, we compared the engraftment efficiency of intramyocardially-injected undifferentiated-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), day4 mesodermal cells, and day8, day20, and day30 purified iPSC-CMs after initial differentiation by tracing the engraftment ratio (ER) using in vivo bioluminescence imaging. This analysis revealed the ER of day20 CMs was significantly higher compared to other cells. Transplantation of day20 CMs into the infarcted hearts of immunodeficient mice showed significant functional improvement. Moreover, the imaging signal and ratio of Ki67-positive CMs at 3 months post injection indicated engrafted CMs proliferated in the host heart. Although this graft growth reached a plateau at 3 months, histological analysis confirmed progressive maturation from 3 to 6 months. These results suggested that day20 CMs had very high engraftment, proliferation, and therapeutic potential in host mouse hearts.

Project description:Using APEX2, an engineered peroxidase, as an imaging tag, we successfully located iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) engrafted in post-myocardial infarction mouse hearts for more than 6 months. APEX2 caused clear contrast in X-ray microscopy and electron microscopy, and relatively well organized sarcomere structures were formed in iPSC-CMs. Electron microscopic tomography further found the development of T-tubules and dyads in APEX2-labelled cells, which are the signature characteristics of the maturation of cardiomyocytes.

Project description:Exciting pre-clinical data have confirmed that human pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes (PSC-CMs) can remuscularise the injured or diseased heart, with several clinical trials now in planning or recruitment stages worldwide. However, ventricular arrhythmias are a predictable complication following engraftment of intramyocardially injected PSC-CMs. Therefore, there is an urgent unmet need to gain mechanistic insights and treatment strategies to control or prevent these engraftment arrhythmias (EAs). We used a porcine model of myocardial infarction and PSC-CM transplantation to investigate efficacy of pharmacologic and catheter based anti-arrhythmic strategies in mitigating EAs. Furthermore, cell doses were robustly phenotyped using single cell ribonucleic acid sequencing and high parameter flow cytometry to identify cellular characteristics predictive of arrhythmogenesis. Combination therapy with amiodarone and ivabradine significantly reduced EA rate and burden following PSC-CM transplantation. Catheter ablation was also a feasible and effective treatment strategy which could be considered in the case of pharmacologically refractory arrhythmias. In addition, we show that EAs are mechanistically linked to cellular heterogeneity in the input PSC-CM and resultant graft. Specifically, we identify atrial and pacemaker-like cardiomyocytes as culprit arrhythmogenic subpopulations. We further describe two unique surface marker signatures, SIRPA+/CD90-/CD200+ and SIRPA+/CD90-/CD200-, which identify arrhythmogenic and non-arrhythmogenic cardiomyocytes respectively. Our data deepens mechanistic understanding of EAs and suggests that modifications to current PSC-CM production and/or selection protocols could ameliorate this problem. We further show that current clinical pharmacologic and interventional anti-arrhythmic strategies can control and potentially abolish these arrhythmias, an important safety consideration given several impending clinical trials.

Project description:ABSTRACT Background: Viral myocarditis is a life-threatening illness that may lead to heart failure or cardiac arrhythmias. This study examined whether human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) could be used to model the pathogenic processes of coxsackievirus-induced viral myocarditis and to screen antiviral therapeutics for efficacy. Methods and Results: Human iPSC-CMs were infected with a luciferase-expressing mutant of the coxsackievirus B3 strain (CVB3-Luc). Brightfield microscopy, immunofluorescence, and calcium imaging were used to characterize virally infected hiPSC-CMs. Viral proliferation on hiPSC-CMs was subsequently quantified using bioluminescence imaging. For drug screening, select antiviral compounds including interferon beta 1 (IFNβ1), ribavirin, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), and fluoxetine were tested for their capacity to abrogate CVB3-Luc proliferation in hiPSC-CMs in vitro. The ability of some of these compounds to reduce CVB3-Luc proliferation in hiPSC-CMs was consistent with the reported drug effects in previous studies. Finally, mechanistic analyses via gene expression profiling of hiPSC-CMs infected with CVB3-Luc revealed an activation of viral RNA and protein clearance pathways within these hiPSC-CMs after IFNβ1 treatment. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that hiPSC-CMs express the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor, are susceptible to coxsackievirus infection, and can be used to confirm antiviral drug efficacy. Our results suggest that the hiPSC-CM/CVB3-Luc assay is a sensitive platform that could be used to screen novel antiviral therapeutics for their effectiveness in a high-throughput fashion. For this experiment, human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes were infected with coxsackievirus at multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 5 for 8 hours. Cells were treated with and without interferon beta 1 in order to determine if treatment activates antiviral response genes and/or viral clearance pathways. 4 total samples (2 for each condition) were analyzed

Project description:To understand how Wnt/β-catenin signaling-activated cardiomyocytes (β-cat ON CMs) promote coronary vessel development, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of endothelial cells (ECs) sorted from the hearts ablated β-cat ON CMs and those from control hearts, respectively. Our analyses indicated that β-cat ON CMs regulates coronary vessel development by promoting arterialization, a step in the transition of endocardial ECs to coronary ECs.

Project description:A major challenge in bone allogeneic marrow (BM) transplantation is overcoming engraftment resistance to avoid the clinical problem of graft rejection. Identifying genes and pathways that regulate BM engraftment may reveal molecular targets for overcoming these engraftment barriers. Previously, we developed a mouse model of BM transplantation that utilizes recipient conditioning with non-myeloablative total body irradiation followed by transplantation of allogeneic BM cells. We defined TBI doses that lead to graft rejection, that are permissive for engraftment, and mouse strain variation with regards to the permissive TBI dose. We now report gene expression analysis, using the Agilent Mouse 8x60K v3 expression arrays, in spleen of mice conditioned with TBI doses for evaluation in correlation to the expected engraftment phenotype. The spleens of mice given TBI demonstrated extensive differential gene expression, compared with un-irradiated controls, at both multiple testing-corrected P < .05 and fold change greater than or equal to 2 levels. Functional analysis revealed significant enrichment for up-regulation of canonical pathways involved in inflammation, even when treated with TBI doses not permissive for engraftment. Consistent with this the most significantly associated upstream regulators included lipopolysaccharide, tumor necrosis factor, and a toll-like receptor. Unique to engrafting mice, however, were enrichment for a down-regulated canonical pathway related to B-cell development. Results from this analysis have identified canonical pathways and upstream regulators of BM engraftment in mice and may lead to new approaches to overcome the problem of graft rejection complicating clinical BM transplantation. Each individual sample was pooled from 3 mice and performed in triplicate for each experimental group (TBI 300 cGy, 400 cGy, or 500 cGy) and for each strain mice (BALB.K or B10.BR) for statistical analysis. Additional arrays were perfromed for TBI 800 cGy (BALB.K) and TBI 900 cGy (B10.BR) for anlaysis of gene expressive after myeloablative condition.

Project description:Inter-organelle contact and communication between mitochondria (Mito) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER), also known as sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in cardiomyocytes (CM), play vital roles in the maintenance of Mito and SR properties and cellular homeostasis. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the formin, Diaphanous-1 (DIAPH1), which regulates actin dynamics and signal transduction, contributes to these processes. Mice bearing CM-specific deletion of Diaph1 displayed reduced injury and superior functional recovery after the induction of cardiac ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). Studies in DIAPH1-silenced human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived CMs (HiPSC-CMs) and murine hearts devoid of CM-Diaph1 revealed that DIAPH1 interacts directly with Mitofusin-2 (MFN2) to regulate Mito-SR contact, Mito turnover, mitophagy, and oxidative stress. Ischemic murine hearts and human heart biopsies revealed more robust DIAPH1-MFN2 interaction vs. that observed in non-ischemic hearts. Solution structure studies affirm this interaction and reveal strong pH-dependent interaction between the Diaphanous Inhibitory Domain (DID) and the cytosolic GTPase domain of MFN2. In HiPSC-CMs, introduction of synthetic linkers, which reduce the Mito-SR distance, mitigated the cardioprotective benefits of Diaph1 deletion. Finally, DIAPH1 binding to the cytoplasmic domain of receptor for advanced glycation endproduct (RAGE) supports signal transduction and contributes to I/R injury in the heart; in HiPSC-CMs, small molecule antagonism of RAGE-DIAPH1 reduced DIAPH1-MFN2 interaction and increased Mito-SR distance. This work establishes fundamental roles for DIAPH1-MFN2 interaction in the regulation of Mito-SR contact networks that control responses to ischemic stress. Targeting pathways that regulate DIAPH1-MFN2 may facilitate recovery from cardiac ischemic injury.

Project description:To identify novel mechanisms regulating allogeneic hematopoietic cell engraftment, we previously used a forward genetic approach and described identification, in mice, of the Bmgr5 bone marrow (BM) engraftment quantitative trait locus (QTL). This QTL confers dominant and large allele effects for engraftment susceptibility. It was localized to chromosome 16 by classical quantitative genetic techniques in a segregating backcross bred from susceptible BALB.K and resistant B10.BR mice. We now report verification of the Bmgr5 QTL using reciprocal chromosome 16 consomic strains. The BM engraftment phenotype in these consomic mice shows that Bmgr5 susceptibility alleles are not only sufficient but also indispensable for conferring permissiveness for allogeneic BM engraftment. Using panels of congenic mice, we resolved the Bmgr5 QTL into two separate subloci, termed Bmgr5a and Bmgr5b, each conferring permissiveness for the engraftment phenotype and both fine mapped to an interval amenable to positional cloning. Candidate Bmgr5 genes were then prioritized using whole exome DNA sequencing and microarray gene expression profiling. Further studies are needed to elucidate the genetic interaction between Bmgr5a and Bmgr5b and identify causative genes and underlying gene variants. This may lead to new approaches for overcoming the problem of graft rejection in clinical hematopoietic cell transplantation. B10.BALBChr16 and BALB.B10Chr16 consomic strain mice were constructed in our laboratory for validation of bone marrow engraftment and graft-vs-host diseaes QTLs. The parental strains for consomic line construction were B10.BR (B10.BR-H2k H2-T18a/SgSnJJrep) and BALB.K (C.C3-H2k/LilMcdJ). The JAX Mouse Diveristy 620K SNP Array was used to verify adequate removal of residual background heterozygosity. Liver DNA was delivered to JAX Mouse Diversity Genotyping Array Service (Jackson Laboratory) for the SNP Array genotyping.
