Injury-activated endocardium plays structural and signalling roles in zebrafish heart regeneration

ABSTRACT: The zebrafish heart remarkably regenerates after a severe ventricular damage followed by inflammation, fibrotic tissue deposition and removal concomitant with cardiac muscle replacement. We have investigated the role of the endocardium in this regeneration process. 3D-whole mount imaging in injured hearts revealed that GFP-labelled endocardial cells in ET33mi-60A transgenic fish become rapidly activated and highly proliferative at 3 days post cryoinjury (dpci). Endocardial cells extensively expand within the injury site and organize to form a coherent structure at 9 dpci that persists throughout the regeneration process. Upon injury, endocardial cells strongly up-regulate the Notch pathway ligand delta like4 (dll4) and the Notch receptors notch1b, notch2 and notch3. Expression profiling showed that Notch signalling inhibition affects endocardial gene expression and genes related to extracellular matrix remodelling and inflammation. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments revealed that Notch is required for the organization of the endocardium, attenuation of the inflammatory response and cardiomyocyte proliferation. These results demonstrate a novel structural and signalling role for the endocardium during heart regeneration.

Comparison of the expression profiles of kdrl:mCherry-positive cells in injured versus uninjured zebrafish cardiac ventricle and analysis of the expression prolife of postnb:citrin-positive cells upon injury compared to the rest of cardiac cells.

Project description:Contrary to mammals, zebrafish regenerate their heart upon cryoinjury of the cardiac ventricular apex. Regeneration is preceed by a fibrotic response. To understand the contribution of different cell sources to zebrafish cardiac fibrosis we performed an RNASeq including endocardial kdrl:mCherry cells from an uninjured heart, and activated endocardial kdrl:mCherry cells, postnb:citrine fibroblasts and the rest of the cells at 7 days post injury.

Endocardial identity is established during early somitogenesis by Bmp signalling acting upstream of npas4l and etv2

Project description:The endocardium plays important roles in the development and function of the vertebrate heart; however, few molecular markers of this tissue have been identified and little is known about what regulates its differentiation. Here, we describe the Gt(SAGFF27C); Tg(4xUAS:egfp) line as a marker of endocardial development in zebrafish. Transcriptomic comparison between endocardium and pan-endothelium confirms molecular distinction between these populations and time-course analysis suggests differentiation as early as eight somites. To investigate what regulates endocardial identity, we employed npas4l, etv2 and scl loss-of-function models. Endocardial expression is lost in npas4l mutants, significantly reduced in etv2 mutants and only modestly affected upon scl loss-of-function. Bmp signalling was also examined: overactivation of Bmp signalling increased endocardial expression, whereas Bmp inhibition decreased expression. Finally, epistasis experiments showed that overactivation of Bmp signalling was incapable of restoring endocardial expression in etv2 mutants. By contrast, overexpression of either npas4l or etv2 was sufficient to rescue endocardial expression upon Bmp inhibition. Together, these results describe the differentiation of the endocardium, distinct from vasculature, and place npas4l and etv2 downstream of Bmp signalling in regulating its differentiation.

Single-Cell RNA-Seq and Patient-Specific iPSCs Reveal Endocardial Abnormalities in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

Project description:Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is one of the most devastating forms of congenital heart defects. Previous studies have only focused on intrinsic defects in the myocardium. However, this does not sufficiently explain the abnormal development of the cardiac valve, septum, and vasculature, which are known to originate from the endocardium. Here, using single-cell RNA profiling, induced pluripotent stem cells, and fetal heart tissue with an underdeveloped left ventricle, we identified a developmentally impaired endocardial cell population in HLHS. The intrinsic endocardial deficits contributed to abnormal endothelial to mesenchymal transition, NOTCH signaling, and extracellular matrix organization, all of which are key factors in valve formation. Consequentially, endocardial abnormalities conferred reduced proliferation and maturation of cardiomyocytes through a disrupted fibronectin-integrin interaction. Several known HLHS de novo mutations all contributed to the abnormal endocardial gene expression through the alteration of promoter/enhancer activities. These mechanistic discoveries provide an alternative angle for early intervention and heart regeneration in HLHS.

Sequential Notch activation regulates ventricular chamber development

Project description:Ventricular chambers are essential for the rhythmic contraction and relaxation that occurs in every hearbeat throughout life. Congenital abnormalities in ventricular chamber formation cause severe human heart defects. How the early trabecular meshwork of myocardial fibres forms and subsequently develops into mature chambers is still poorly understood. Here we show that Notch signalling first connects chamber endocardium and myocardium to sustain trabeculation and later coordinates ventricular patterning and compaction with coronary vessel development to give rise to the mature chamber via a temporal sequence of ligand signalling determined by the glycosyltransferase Manic Fringe (Mfng). The early endocardial expression of Mfng favours Dll4-Notch1 signalling, Which induces trabeculation in the developing ventricle.Ventricular maturation and compaction in turn require Mfng and Dll4 downregulation in the endocardium, Which allows myocardial Jag1- And Jag2- Signalling to Notch1 in this tissue.Timely and spatial perturbation of this signalling equilibrium severely disrupts heart chamber formation. Our results open a new research avenue into the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathies.

Telomerase is essential for zebrafish heart regeneration

Project description:Unlike human hearts, zebrafish hearts efficiently regenerate after injury. Regeneration is driven by the strong proliferation response of its cardiomyocytes to injury. In this study, we show that active telomerase is required for cardiomyocyte proliferation and full organ recovery, supporting the potential of telomerase therapy as a means of stimulating cell proliferation upon myocardial infarction. Heart transcriptomes of WT and telomerase defective adult zebrafish animals were profiled by RNASeq, in control conditions and 3 days after heart cryoinjury.

Endocardium-to-coronary artery differentiation during heart development and regeneration involves sequential roles of Bmp2 and Cxcl12/Cxcr4.

Project description:Endocardial cells lining the heart lumen are coronary vessel progenitors during embryogenesis. Re-igniting this developmental process in adults could regenerate blood vessels lost during cardiac injury, but this requires additional knowledge on molecular regulators. Here, we use mouse genetics and scRNAseq to identify novel regulators of endocardial angiogenesis and precisely assess the role of CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling. Time-specific lineage tracing demonstrated that endocardial cells differentiated in coronary endothelial cells primarily at mid-gestation. A new mouse line reporting CXCR4 activity—along with cell-specific gene deletions—revealed it was specifically required for artery morphogenesis rather than angiogenesis. Integrating scRNAseq data of endocardial-derived coronary vessels from mid- and late-gestation identified a Bmp2-expressing transitioning population specific to mid-gestation. Bmp2 stimulated endocardial angiogenesis in vitro and in injured neonatal mouse hearts. Our data shed light on how understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying endocardial angiogenesis can identify new potential therapeutic targets promoting revascularization of the injured heart.

Microarray using CD31+/CD41-/CD45- cells from E9.5 mouse heart tube, caudal half and yolk sac

Project description:Hematopoietic cells arise from spatiotemporally restricted domains in the developing embryo. Although studies of non-mammalian animal and in vitro embryonic stem cell models suggest a close relationship among cardiac, endocardial, and hematopoietic lineages, it remains unknown whether the mammalian heart tube serves as a hemogenic organ akin to the dorsal aorta. Here, we examined the hemogenic activity of the developing endocardium. Mouse heart explants generated myeloid and erythroid colonies in the absence of circulation. Hemogenic activity arose from a subset of endocardial cells in the outflow cushion and atria earlier than in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros region, and was transient and definitive in nature. Interestingly, key cardiac transcription factors, Nkx2-5 and Isl1, were expressed in and required for the hemogenic activity of the endocardium. Together, these data suggest that a subset of endocardial and yolk sac endothelial cells expressing cardiac markers serve as a de novo source for transient definitive hematopoietic progenitors. Two independent biological duplicates of freshly isolated mouse tissues (caudal half, heart tube, yolk sac) were sorted for CD31+/CD41-/CD45- cells.

Myocardial Differentiation is Dependent upon Endocardial Signalling During Early Cardiogenesis in vitro

Project description:The endocardium interacts with the myocardium to promote proliferation and morphogenesis during the later stages of heart development. However, the role of the endocardium in early cardiac ontogeny remains under-explored. Given the shared origin, subsequent juxtaposition, and essential cell-cell interactions of endocardial and myocardial cells throughout heart development, we hypothesized that paracrine signaling from the endocardium to the myocardium is critical for initiating early differentiation of myocardial cells. To test this, we generated an in vitro, endocardial-specific ablation model using the diphtheria toxin receptor under the regulatory elements of the NFATc1 genomic locus (NFATc1-DTR) Early treatment of NFATc1-DTR embryoid bodies with diphtheria toxin efficiently ablated endocardial cells, which significantly attenuated the percent of beating EBs in culture and expression of early and late myocardial differentiation markers. The addition of Bmp2 during endocardial ablation partially rescued myocyte differentiation, maturation and function. Therefore, we conclude that early stages of myocardial differentiation rely on endocardial paracrine signaling mediated in part by Bmp2. Our findings provide novel insight into early endocardial-myocardial interactions that can be explored to promote early myocardial development and growth.
