Project description:To begin to understand how variations in the genome drive changes in the skeletal muscle proteome, we performed a proteomic analysis of Gastrocnemius muscle from 73 inbred mouse strains of the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel (HMDP) that were fed a chow diet and housed under identical environmental conditions (n=2-4; 162 mice). These data were integrated with genomic and various molecular/phenotypic data via systems genetic analysis which is a powerful forward genetics approach to identify potential new regulators of complex traits. Proteomics was performed with eighteen 10-plex tandem mass tags (TMT) experiments each consisting of 9 strains plus a pooled common internal reference. Peptides were analysed by 2D-liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (2D-LC-MS/MS) resulting in the quantification of 5,350 proteins with 4,027 quantified in >50 mice and 2,069 proteins quantified in all 162 animals.

Project description:Combining mass spectrometry based chemical cross-linking and complexome profiling, we analyzed the interactome of heart mitochondria. We focused on complexes of oxidative phosphorylation and found that dimeric apoptosis inducing factor 1 (AIFM1) forms a defined complex with ~10% of monomeric cytochrome c oxidase (COX), but hardly interacts with respiratory chain supercomplexes. Multiple AIFM1 inter-crosslinks engaging six different COX subunits provided structural restraints to build a detailed atomic model of the COX-AIFM12 complex. Application of two complementary proteomic approaches thus provided unexpected insight into the macromolecular organization of the mitochondrial complexome. Our structural model excludes direct electron transfer between AIFM1 and COX. Notably however, the binding site of cytochrome c remains accessible allowing formation of a ternary complex. The discovery of the previously overlooked COX-AIFM12 complex and clues provided by the structural model hint at a role of AIFM1 in OXPHOS biogenesis and in programmed cell death.

Project description:The mammalian heart undergoes major transitions during postnatal life to acquire the physiological properties of an adult organ. Postnatal life imposes numerous adaptations including electrophysiological, structural and metabolic maturation of cardiomyocytes1, which occur coincident with loss of proliferative capacity and regenerative potential2,3. The discovery of key upstream drivers of cardiomyocyte maturation and cell cycle arrest remains one of the most important unanswered questions in cardiac biology. Discovery of these drivers would facilitate current attempts to promote cardiomyocyte maturation in vitro for drug discovery and to de-differentiate adult cardiomyocytes in vivo for regenerative medicine. A recent study has suggested that the shift from a low oxygen environment in utero towards a high oxygen environment after birth acts as a key trigger for cardiomyocyte cell cycle exit4. Moreover, it was recently demonstrated that proliferative adult cardiomyocytes reside in a hypoxic niche5 and that exposure of adult mice to gradual hypoxemia is sufficient to drive cell cycle re-entry and regeneration following infarction6. However, it is currently unclear whether postnatal changes in oxygen tension or the associated shifts in cardiomyocyte metabolism are sufficient to promote maturation and cell cycle arrest as human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes fail to mature when cultured at 21% oxygen7,8. There are considerable changes in metabolic substrate provision during early postnatal life. The mammalian heart relies on high concentrations of carbohydrates and the presence of insulin in utero but later switches to fatty acid dominated substrates present in milk and low insulin levels post-birth9. In order to adapt to these changes in substrates, cardiomyocytes upregulate the genes required for fatty acid oxidation after birth10. The importance of these metabolic adaptations for cardiomyocyte maturation has been difficult to study because genetic disruption of fatty acid oxidation components in vivo can have a broad range of negative health impacts11. Therefore, there is a need to develop alternative approaches for studying the impact of cardiomyocyte metabolism on the maturation process. hPSCs are now widely used for the generation of defined human somatic cell types, including cardiomyocytes. These cardiomyocytes have now been used extensively for developmental studies, drug screening, disease modeling, and heart repair. However, lack of maturity and inappropriate responses to pharmacological agents have been identified as limitations in 2D or embryoid body based differentiation strategies12. To improve maturity of hPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, long-term culture can be used13, although long-term cultures may not be amenable to high-throughput screening applications and adult-like maturity is still not achieved14. In an effort to better simulate heart muscle structure and function, cardiac tissue engineering to form 3D engineered heart tissue has been used15-19. However, despite these recent advances in human cardiac tissue engineering, cardiac tissues derived from hPSC still lack many features of fully mature adult heart tissue20. Moreover, engineered heart tissue fabrication, culture, mechanical loading and pacing protocols, and analysis methods using organ baths are costly, labor intensive, and the multiple handling steps induce variability. In order to facilitate higher-throughput experiments, platforms for engineered heart tissue production have been miniaturized, however, screening experiments using semi-automated force of contraction analyses have only been published in 24-well plate formats21. Therefore, we developed a novel 96-well device, the heart dynamometer (Heart-Dyno), for high-throughput functional screening of human cardiac organoids (hCOs) to facilitate screening on a larger scale. The Heart-Dyno is designed to facilitate automated formation of dense muscle bundles from minimal cells and reagents while also facilitating culture and automated force of contraction analysis without any tissue handling. Using the Heart-Dyno, we define serum-free 3D culture conditions that promote structural, electrophysiological, metabolic and proliferative maturation of hPSC-derived cardiac organoids. Furthermore, we uncover a metabolic mechanism governing cardiomyocyte cell cycle arrest through repression of a β-catenin and YAP1 dependent signalling.

Project description:Hepatosteatosis underlies several diseases including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and liver disease. Unfortunately, our understanding of the contributing pathways that initiate and advance hepatosteatosis to subsequent complications is still poorly understood. Here, we take advantage of recent developments in “omics” technologies to perform high resolution proteomics (>5000 proteins) and quantitative lipidomics (>300 lipids) on livers from 107 genetically diverse inbred mouse strains from the hybrid mouse diversity panel. Integration of these data allowed us to define novel regulators of lipid metabolism in the liver.

Project description:Iron sulfur clusters (ISC) are essential cofactors that participate in electron transfer, environment sensing, and catalysis. Amongst the most ancient ISC containing proteins are the ferredoxin family of electron carriers. Humans have two ferredoxins, FDX1 and FDX2, localized to the mitochondria and important for ISC synthesis itself. We previously showed that hypoxia can bypass the requirement for some, but not all, components of the ISC biosynthetic pathway, but ferredoxins were not tested at that time. Here we report that FDX1 and its reductase FDXR, but not FDX2, are dispensable under ambient 1% O2 in cultured cells. We find that FDX1 is essential for production of the lipoic acid cofactor, which is synthesized by the ISC containing enzyme lipoyl synthase (LIAS). While hypoxia can rescue the growth phenotype of either FDX1 or LIAS knockout cells, lipoylation is not rescued, arguing against an alternative biosynthetic route or salvage pathway for lipoate in hypoxia. Our work identifies a role for FDX1/LIAS in lipoate synthesis and surprisingly reveals dispensability of lipoic acid altogether under low oxygen tensions in cell culture.

Project description:Re-induction of endogenous proliferation is a promising regeneration strategy for post-mitotic organs. For heart regeneration, we recently discovered that dual inhibition of both GSK3 and MST1 is required for proliferation in mature human cardiac organoids1. However, the mechanisms of action are not yet understood. Here, we de-convolute the mitogenic response using proteomics and report that GSK3 inhibition activates a cell cycle network whereas MST1 inhibition drives the mevalonate pathway. Screening of an additional 105 compounds identified a p38 inhibitor, which activated a cell cycle network, as well as an inhibitor of TGFBR, which activated the mevalonate pathway; combinatorial treatment with these two inhibitors also resulted in synergistic cell cycle activation. The mevalonate pathway which was consistently activated under the most robust proliferative conditions, is down-regulated during in vivo maturation when cardiomyocyte regenerative capacity ceases and inhibition of the mevalonate pathway abolished the myocyte proliferative response to mitogens. Taken together, our findings suggest that the mevalonate pathway synergises with mitogenic agents to enable mature cardiomyocytes to re-enter the cell cycle. These findings have important ramifications for development of cardiac regenerative therapeutics.

Project description:All mouse experiments were approved by The University of Melbourne Animal Ethics Committee (AEC ID1914940) and conformed to the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia guidelines regarding the care and use of experimental animals. C57BL/6J mice (JAX 000664) were obtained from Animal Resource Centre (WA, Australia). Mice were housed at 22°C (+/-1°C) in groups of five/cage and maintained on a Standard Chow diet (Specialty Feeds, Australia) with a 12-hour light/dark cycle and ad libitum access to food and water. For intramuscular injections of rAAV6, mice were anesthetized with isoflurane (4% in oxygen at 1L/min) and then transferred to a dissecting microscope stage with heat pad and isoflurane inhalation nose piece (2% in oxygen at 1 L/min). Unconsciousness was assessed via the lack of leg and optical reflexes for at least one minute to ensure head position does not affect normal breathing. Mice received subcutaneous analgesic injection of meloxicam between the shoulder blades (5mg/kg) and the surface of the hindlimbs were sterilized with 80% ethanol. The TA/EDL muscles were injected with 2 x 10^10 vector genomes / 30 µl of rAAV6 harbouring either a scramble shRNA or an shRNA targeting UFC1 using a 32G needle. Mice were returned to cages and body weights monitored daily for the first 3 days and then weekly.

Project description:Background: Maternal iron deficiency (ID) is associated with poor pregnancy and fetal outcomes. The effect is thought to be mediated by the placenta but there is no comprehensive assessment of placental response to maternal ID. Additionally, whether the influence of maternal ID on the placenta differs by fetal sex is unknown. Objectives: Our primary aim was to identify gene and protein signatures of ID mouse placentas at mid-gestation. A secondary objective was to profile the expression of iron genes in mouse placentas across gestation. Methods: We used a real-time PCR based array to determine the mRNA expression of all known iron genes in mouse placentas at embryonic day (E) 12.5, E14.5, E16.5, and E19.5 (n=3 placentas/time point). To determine the effect of maternal ID, we performed RNA sequencing and proteomics in male and female placentas from ID and iron adequate mice at E12.5 (n=8 dams/diet). Results: In female placentas, six genes including transferrin receptor (Tfrc) and solute carrier family 11 member 2 were significantly changed by maternal ID. An additional 154 genes were altered in male ID placentas. Proteomic analysis quantified 7662 proteins in the placenta. Proteins translated from iron responsive element (IRE) containing mRNAs were altered in abundance; ferritin and ferroportin 1 decreased while TFRC increased in ID placenta. Less than 4% of the significantly altered genes in ID placentas occurred both at the transcriptional and translational levels. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that the impact of maternal ID on placental gene expression in mice is limited in scope and magnitude at mid-gestation. We provide strong evidence for IRE-based transcriptional and translational coordination of iron gene expression in the mouse placenta. Finally, we discover sexually dimorphic effects of maternal ID on placental gene expression, with more genes and pathways altered in male compared with female mouse placentas.
