Project description:We performed time-dependent, genome-wide analysis to explore gene expression profiles during in vitro cardiogenesis from embryonic stem cells to cardiac progenitor cells. Total RNA was extracted from undifferentiated stem cells, early mesodermal cells, cardiac mesodermal cells and cardiac progenitor cells. As a result of cluster analysis, Cited gene family was considered as candidate genes in cardiogenesis. Cited4 gene expression was specific for early cardiogenesis and Cited4 functioned as a cell cycle controling factor for early cardiac progenitor cells. Embryoid body was formed as in vitro cardiogenesis. Total RNA was extracted from Rex1-positive undifferentiated stem cells at day 0, Bra-positive early mesodermal cells at day 4.5, Flk1-positive cardiac mesodermal cells at day 4.5 and Nkx2.5-positive cardiac progenitor cells at day 7.5.

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.

Project description:Scl/Tal1 confers hemogenic competence and prevents cardiomyogenesis in embryonic endothelium. Here we show that Scl both directly activates a broad gene regulatory network required for hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HS/PC) development, and represses transcriptional regulators required for cardiogenesis. Cardiac repression occurs during a short developmental window through Scl binding to distant cardiac enhancers that harbor H3K4me1 at this stage. Scl binding to hematopoietic regulators extends throughout HS/PC and erythroid development and spreads from distant enhancers to promoters. Surprisingly, Scl complex partners Gata 1 and 2 are dispensable for hematopoietic versus cardiac specification and Scl binding to the majority of its target genes. Nevertheless, Gata factors co-operate with Scl to activate selected transcription factors to facilitate HS/PC emergence from hemogenic endothelium. These results uncover a dual function for Scl in dictating hematopoietic versus cardiac fate choice and suggest a mechanism by which lineage-specific bHLH factors direct the divergence of competing fates.

Project description:During heart development, an evolutionarily conserved network of cardiac transcription factors collaborate to define the precise timing and location of cardiac progenitor specification. Accumulating evidence suggests that cardiac progenitor specification is subject to transcriptional control beyond the level of transcription initiation. The PAF1C component Rtf1 is a multifunctional transcription regulatory protein that modulates pausing and elongation of RNA Pol II, as well as histone epigenetic modifications. By transient knockdown and CRISPR mutagenesis, we found that Rtf1 is essential for cardiogenesis and that without Rtf1 activity, cardiac progenitors arrest in an immature state. This role in early cardiogenesis was evolutionarily conserved between fish and mammals. We also found that Rtf1's Plus3 domain, which confers interaction with the pausing/elongation factor Spt5, was required for Rtf1's ability to support cardiac progenitor formation, while other regions of the protein were dispensable. We examined the occupancy of RNA Pol II at cardiac genes in rtf1 morphants using ChIP-seq and found that Pol II signals at the TSS of genes was reduced, suggesting a reduction in transcriptional pausing. Intriguingly, pharmacological or morpholino antisense reduction of pause release in rtf1 morphants and mutants restored the formation of cardiac cells and improved Pol II occupancy at the TSS of key cardiac genes. Our findings highlight the crucial role that transcriptional pausing plays in promoting normal levels of gene expression in a cardiac developmental context.

Project description:Gata factors are amongst the genes expressed early on in the process of cardiogenesis. We used microarrays to examine the immediate early targets of Gata4 and Gata5 in the Xenopus leavis animal cap cardiogenesis model. We hope to use these data to examine the roles of Gata4 and Gata5 in cardiogenesis and also to begin to dissect out the common and distinct targets of Gata4 and Gata5. Experiment Overall Design: Xenopus leavis embryos were injected at the one cell stage with dexamethasone-inducible Gata4 or Gata5 mRNA constructs (to examine endodermal and mesodermal targets) or with Gata4 in the presence of Dkk1 (to examine mesodermal targets.) Embryos were cultured to stage 9, whereupon animal caps were excised and cultured for 2.5 hours in media containing dexamethasone to induce the constructs and cycloheximide to block de novo protein synthesis and thus give only immediate early targets.

Project description:Rationale: Cardiogenesis is regulated by a complex interplay between transcription factors and chromatin-modifying enzymes. However, little is known about how these interactions regulate the transition from mesodermal precursors to cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs). Objective: To identify novel regulators of mesodermal cardiac lineage commitment. Methods and Results: We performed a bioinformatic-based transcription factor-binding site analysis on upstream promoter regions of genes that are enriched in ES cell-derived CPCs. From 32 candidate transcription factors screened, we found that YY1, a repressor of sarcomeric gene expression, is present in CPCs in vivo. Interestingly, we uncovered the ability of YY1 to transcriptionally activate Nkx2.5, a key marker of early cardiogenic commitment. YY1 regulates Nkx2.5 expression via a 2.1 kb cardiac-specific enhancer as demonstrated by in vitro luciferase-based assays and in vivo chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and genome-wide sequencing analysis. Furthermore, the ability of YY1 to activate Nkx2.5 expression depends on its cooperative interaction with GATA4 at a nearby chromatin. Cardiac mesoderm-specific loss-of-function of YY1 resulted in early embryonic lethality. This was corroborated in vitro by ES cell-based assays where we show that the over-expression of YY1 enhanced the cardiogenic differentiation ES cells into CPCs in a cell autonomous manner. Conclusion: These results demonstrate an essential and unexpected role for YY1 to promote cardiogenesis as a transcriptional activator of Nkx2.5 and other CPC-enriched genes. We report the identification of putative YY1 target genes in cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs). Two samples of independently FACS-purified eGFP+ CPCs were examined against the input.

Project description: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.
