Pitx2 promotes heart repair by transcriptionally activating the antioxidant response after cardiac injury

ABSTRACT: Myocardial infarction results in compromised myocardial function with heart failure due to insufficient cardiomyocyte self-renewal. Unlike lower vertebrates, mammalian hearts only have a transient neonatal renewal capacity. Reactivating the primitive reparative ability in the fully mature heart requires an intimate knowledge of the molecular mechanisms promoting early heart repair. Here we identified a novel factor that can sufficiently promote heart muscle repair. By screening an established Hippo-deficient heart regeneration model for renewal promoting factors, we found that PITX2 protein expression in ventricles was induced after cardiomyocyte injury. Moreover, Pitx2-deficient neonatal hearts failed to repair after apex resection. Pitx2-gain-of-function in ventricular cardiomyocytes conferred reparative ability to the adult mouse heart after myocardial infarction. Integrated genomic analyses indicated that Pitx2 activated genes encoding electron transport chain components and reactive oxygen species scavengers. Pitx2 mutant myocardium had elevated reactive oxygen species levels while supplement of antioxidants suppressed the Pitx2-loss-of-function phenotype. Furthermore, PITX2 directly binds NFE2L2 and translocates from cytoplasm to nucleus upon oxidative stress.

YAP Drives Assembly of a Spatially Colocalized Cellular Triad Required for Heart Renewal

Project description:After myocardial infarction (MI), the heart fails to renew, and the cardiac microenvironment is irreversibly disrupted. Inactivation of the Hippo signaling pathway can rebuild the post ischemic microenvironment and improve cardiac function. We investigated spatially resolved cellular relationships of neonatal and adult renewal-competent hearts to gain insight into inefficient mammalian heart renewal. Spatial transcriptomics (ST) and single-cell sequencing of adult control hearts and hearts expressing YAP5SA, an active version of the Hippo signaling pathway effector YAP, which models heart renewal, revealed a conserved, renewal-competent cardiomyocyte (CM) population in control hearts and amplified in YAP5SA hearts. This CM population was also found in the wildtype, renewal competent neonatal heart after myocardial infarction, as well as the adult human heart. Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs), expressing complement C3, colocalized with these CMs. In YAP5SA hearts and neonatal hearts post-MI, macrophages (MPs) expressing complement receptor C3ar1 also colocalized, creating a pro-renewal niche composed of the CM, CF and MP triad. Both C3 and C3ar1 loss-of-function in YAP5SA hearts similarly suppressed heart renewal, indicating that C3-expressing CFs, C3ar1-expressing MPs, and complement system signaling play a direct role in heart renewal

Cardiomayocyte specific translating RNA sequencing from mice in heart failure

Project description:Mammalian organs vary widely in regenerative capacity, and poorly regenerative organs, such as the heart are particularly vulnerable to organ failure. Once established, heart failure commonly results in in considerable mortality and early demise. The Hippo pathway, a kinase cascade that prevents adult cardiomyocyte proliferation and regeneration, is upregulated in human heart failure. We show that deletion of the Hippo pathway component Salvador (Salv) in mouse hearts with established ischemic heart failure after myocardial infarction induced a reparative genetic program characterized by increased scar border vascularity, reduced fibrosis, and recovery of pumping function to that of sham-operated controls. To isolate cardiomyocyte specific translating mRNA we used TRAP (translating ribosomal affinity purification) followed by RNA sequencing. Hippo deficient cardiomyocytes had increased expression of proliferative, and stress response genes. Interestingly the mitochondrial quality control gene, Park2 was among the stress response genes. Further genetic studies indicated that Park2 was essential for heart repair in both the neonatal mouse and the adult Salv conditional knockout mouse. Thus, suggesting a requirement for mitochondrial quality control in the regenerating myocardium. Our findings indicate that the failing heart has a previously unrecognized capacity for repair involving more than cardiomyocyte renewal.

Analysis of cardiac miRNA expression in the early neonatal period

Project description:The regenerative capacity of the mammalian heart is lost quickly after birth when cardiomyocytes stop dividing and undergo cell cycle arrest. Thus, the adult mammalian heart lacks the ability to heal itself to any appreciable amount after ischemic injury such as myocardial infarction. Heart growth begins during fetal life with the first phase of DNA synthesis that is exclusively associated with cardiomyocyte proliferation. This process proceeds until 12 hours after birth and is defined as 0 days in our submitted samples. Cardiomyocytes division is undetectable at neonatal day 1. To analyze the molecular mechanisms responsible for cessation of cardiomyocyte proliferation, we performed genome-wide miRNA microarray profiling by comparing postnatal days 0 vs 1d.This revealed a profile of 8 significantly downregulated miRNAs in the proliferative DKO hearts (versus vehicle-injected control), that were enriched for mRNA targets involved in cell cycle regulation. In vitro studies have demonstrated that knockdown of these 8 miRNAs in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes can increase the occurrence of cytokinetic events. Ultimately, we aim to inject antagomirs targeting these miRNAs into mice post-myocardial infarction to determine the effect of these miRNAs on heart function and cardiomyocyte proliferation in vivo.

Gene expression profile of mouse CD206+F4/80+CD11b+ M2-like macrophages

Project description:Characterisation of M2-like macrophage in terms of gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that M2-like macrophages in myocardial infarction (MI) heart have upregulation of genes relevant to cardiac repair. The results obtained showed tha various tanti-inflammatory and reparative genes were upregulated in M2-like macrophage from MI heart compared to those from intact hearts. M2-like macrophages from the heart (either MI or intact) were distinct from those in the peritoneal cavity.

Cell-cell interaction between cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts regulates ferroptosis and fibrosis after myocardial injury

Project description:The heart suffers from a severe loss of cardiomyocyte after myocardial infarction (MI). However, it is not known which type of cell death is the major contributor of the loss of cardiomyocytes. By studying a mouse heart MI model at a regenerative and a non-regenerative stage, we demonstrate that ferroptosis, not apoptosis or necroptosis, is the major contributor to cardiomyocyte death starting at 1 day-post-MI. Intrinsic Pitx2 signaling in cardiomyocyte prevents ferroptosis. Meanwhile, cardiac fibroblasts expressing high level of Fth1 interact with cardiomyocytes to share the iron burden, therefore inhibit cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. Cardiomyocyte Pitx2 also inhibits Tsp1 expression, therefore negatively regulate fibroblast-to-myofibroblast activation to limit fibrosis.

Cardiomyocyte S1pr1 regulates cardiac regeneration via AKT/mTOR signaling pathway

Project description:Mammalian hearts had the capability to regenerate cardiomyocyte and completely recover after heart injury within a limited time window after birth. It has been shown that sphingosine 1-phospahte receptor 1 (S1pr1) was highly expressed in cardiomyocytes and played an important role in heart development and pathological cardiac remodeling. Herein, we aim to investigate the role of CM-S1pr1 for cardiac regeneration and tissue repair after heart injury. We generated cardiomyocyte (CM)-specific S1pr1 knock-out mice and showed that CM-specific S1pr1 loss-of-function significantly severely reduced cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration in neonatal mice after both apex resection and myocardial infarction, whereas S1pr1 gain-of-function by AAV9-mediated CM-specific overexpression of S1pr1 significantly boosted cardiac regeneration and improved cardiac functions after heart injuries. We next identified that S1pr1 activated AKT/mTOR/CyclinD1 and Bcl-2 signaling pathways, and thus promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation and inhibited CM apoptosis, respectively.Of note, we applied CM-targeted gene therapy by AAV9-cTNT to specifically overexpress S1pr1 in cardiomyocytes and achieved an efficient S1pr1 overexpression in CMs in vivo. This CM-targeted strategy to overexpress S1pr1 significantly enhanced cardiac regeneration and improved cardiac functions after myocardial infarction in an adult mouse model, suggesting a potential strategy to boost adult cardiac regeneration in vivo.

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.

Comparison of gene expression in cardiac macrophages from P1 or P14 mice 3 days following MI

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to cardiomyocyte death, which triggers an immune response that clears debris and restores tissue integrity. In the adult heart, the immune system facilitates scar formation, which repairs the damaged myocardium but compromises cardiac function. In neonatal mice, the heart can regenerate fully without scarring following MI; however, this regenerative capacity is lost by P7. The signals that govern neonatal heart regeneration are unknown. By comparing the immune response to MI in mice at P1 and P14, we identified differences in the magnitude and kinetics of monocyte and macrophage responses to injury. Using a cell-depletion model, we determined that heart regeneration and neoangiogenesis following MI depends on neonatal macrophages. Neonates depleted of macrophages were unable to regenerate myocardia and formed fibrotic scars, resulting in reduced cardiac function and angiogenesis. Immunophenotyping and gene expression profiling of cardiac macrophages from regenerating and nonregenerating hearts indicated that regenerative macrophages have a unique polarization phenotype and secrete numerous soluble factors that may facilitate the formation of new myocardium. Our findings suggest that macrophages provide necessary signals to drive angiogenesis and regeneration of the neonatal mouse heart. Modulating inflammation may provide a key therapeutic strategy to support heart regeneration. Total RNA was isolated from CD11b+Ly6G- cells sorted from hearts 3 days following ligation of LAD. 6 samples total: Triplicates of cells from P1 mice and from P14 mice

Interspecies comparison reveals Hmga1 as driver of cardiac regeneration [bulk sortChIC Hmga1a OE]

Project description:The prospect of repairing the heart after a myocardial infarction by promoting cardiomyocyte proliferation has gained momentum from studies showing the heart's regenerative ability in fish, amphibians and neonatal mammals. Despite evidence of varying cardiomyocyte proliferation rates among species, the molecular mechanisms driving cardiomyocyte cell cycle re-entry remain insufficiently understood. In this study, we employed spatial transcriptomics and identified high-mobility group AT-hook 1a (Hmga1a) as being upregulated in cardiomyocytes of the injury border zone in zebrafish, but not in mice. Through knock-out and cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of hmga1a, we found that Hmga1a was required for zebrafish heart regeneration and sufficient to drive cardiomyocyte proliferation. In addition, a single injection of Hmga1 virus in injured mouse hearts resulted in increased border zone cardiomyocyte proliferation and improved heart function. Mechanistically, Hmga1 expression reduced repressive H3K27me3 histone modifications from developmentally-regulated genes and induced a border zone-like transcriptional program in adult cardiomyocytes. Our study demonstrates the value of interspecies comparisons by identifying Hmga1 as a critical driver of heart regeneration and highlights Hmga1 as a promising therapeutic candidate to improve cardiac repair after injury.
