Matrix-dependent cardiac progenitor cell fate is instructed by the early regulation of YAP and Plk2

ABSTRACT: Although recent studies support regenerative potential based on cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs), it remains unclear what cues regulate CPC fate. Using 2- and 3D-culture models, we demonstrate that the two most abundantly expressed matrix proteins in the heart, laminin and fibronectin, have opposite roles in CPC fate decision. CPCs on fibronectin showed predominantly nuclear localization of the transcriptional co-activator YAP and maintained proliferation. In contrast, seeding on laminin induced cytosolic retention and degradation of YAP and altered gene expression, which preceded decreased proliferation and enhanced lineage commitment. RNA-sequencing identified Plk2 as candidate target gene of YAP. Plk2 expression depended on YAP stability, was rapidly downregulated on laminin, and its regulation was sufficient to rescue and/or mimic the CPC response to laminin and fibronectin, respectively. These findings propose a novel role of Plk2 and identify an early molecular mechanism in matrix-instructed CPC fate with potential implications for therapeutic cardiac regeneration.

Project description:Identify gene expression changes in the absence of Plk2 Disruptions in polarity and mitotic spindle orientation contribute to the progression and evolution of tumorigenesis. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms regulating these processes in vivo. Here we demonstrate that Polo-like kinase 2 (Plk2) regulates mitotic spindle orientation in the mammary gland and is a putative tumor suppressor. Plk2 is highly expressed in the mammary gland and is required for proper mammary gland development. Loss of Plk2 leads to increased mammary epithelial cell proliferation and ductal hyperbranching. Additionally a novel role for Plk2 in regulating the orientation of the mitotic spindle and maintaining proper cell polarity in the ductal epithelium was discovered. In support of a tumor suppressor function for Plk2, loss of Plk2 increased the formation of lesions in multiparous glands. Collectively, these results demonstrate a novel role for Plk2 in regulating mammary gland development and as a tumor suppressor in mammary tumorigenesis.
