Expression data of regenerating embryonic mouse hearts
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We have recently shown a remarkable regenerative capacity of the prenatal heart using a genetic model of mosaic mitochondrial dysfunction in mice. This model is based on inactivation of the X-linked gene encoding holocytochrome c synthase (Hccs) specifically in the developing heart. Loss of HCCS activity results in respiratory chain dysfunction, disturbed cardiomyocyte differentiation and reduced cell cycle activity. The Hccs gene is subjected to X chromosome inactivation, such that in females heterozygous for the heart conditional Hccs knockout approximately 50% of cardiac cells keep the defective X chromosome active and develop mitochondrial dysfunction while the other 50% remain healthy. During heart development, however, the contribution of HCCS deficient cells to the cardiac tissue decreases from 50% at midgestation to 10% at birth. This regeneration of the prenatal heart is mediated by increased proliferation of the healthy cardiac cell population, which compensate for the defective cells and allow the formation of a fully functional heart at birth. Here we performed microarray expression ananlyses on 13.5 dpc control and heterozygous Hccs knockout hearts to identify molecular mechanisms that drive embryonic heart regeneration.
