Project description:The direct conversion, or trans-differentiation, of non-cardiac cells into cardiomyocytes by forced expression of transcription factors and microRNAs provide promising ways of cardiac regeneration. However, genetic manipulations are still not desirable in real clinical applications. we report the generation of automatically beating cardiomyocyte-like cells from mouse fibroblasts with only chemical cocktails. These chemical-induced cardiomyocyte-like cells (CiCMs) express cardiomyocyte-specific markers, exhibit sarcomeric organization, and possess typical cardiac calcium flux and electrophysiological features. Microarray-bassed gene expression patterns of Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), CiCMs, and cardiomyocytes(CMs) indicated a clear transition from dividing MEFs to differentiated cardiomyocyte-like state in CiCM samples.

Microarray-bassed gene expression patterns of Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), CiCMs, and cardiomyocytes(CMs) indicated a clear transition from dividing MEFs to differentiated cardiomyocyte-like state in CiCM samples. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts were treated with a small-molecule combination CRFVPT (10 μM CHIR99021 (C); 10 μM RepSox (R); 50 μM Forskolin (F); 0.5 mM VPA (V); 5 μM Parnate, (P); 1 μM TTNPB (T)) to induce transdifferentiation to chemical-induced cardiomyocyte-like cells. CiCMs beating clusters were picked at day 24 for analysis. MEFs were isolated from mouse embryos, and CMs were isolated from mouse hearts. Total RNA of MEFs, CiCMs and CMs were extracted and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Direct cardiac reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiomyocytes presents an attractive therapeutic strategy to restore cardiac function following injury. Cardiac reprogramming was initially achieved through the overexpression of the transcription factors Gata4, Mef2c, and Tbx5 (GMT), and later, Hand2 (GHMT) and Akt1 (AGHMT) were found to further enhance this process. Yet, staunch epigenetic barriers severely limit the ability of these cocktails to reprogram adult fibroblasts. We undertook a screen of mammalian gene regulatory factors to discover novel regulators of cardiac reprogramming in adult fibroblasts and identified the histone reader PHF7 as the most potent activating factor. Mechanistically, PHF7 localizes to cardiac super-enhancers in fibroblasts, and through cooperation with the SWI/SNF complex, increases chromatin accessibility and transcription factor binding at these sites. Importantly, PHF7 is the first epigenetic factor found to achieve efficient reprogramming in the absence of Gata4. Here, we highlight the underexplored necessity of cardiac epigenetic modifiers, such as PHF7, in harnessing chromatin remodeling complexes to overcome critical barriers to direct cardiac reprogramming.

Project description:Background: Direct cardiac reprogramming of fibroblasts into cardiomyocytes has emerged as one of the promising strategies to remuscularize the injured myocardium. Yet, it is still insufficient to generate functional induced cardiomyocytes (iCMs) from human fibroblasts using conventional reprogramming cocktails, such as our previously published combination consisting of MEF2C, GATA4, TBX5 and microRNA miR-133 (MGT133). Results: To discover potential missing factors for human direct reprogramming, we performed transcriptomic comparison between human iCMs and functional cardiomyocytes (CMs). We identified T-box transcription factor TBX20 as the top CM gene that is unable to be activated by MGT133. TBX20 is required for normal heart development and cardiac function in adult CMs but its role on cardiac reprogramming remains undefined. Here, we found that transduction of MGT133+TBX20 in human cardiac fibroblasts resulted in enhanced reprogramming featured with significantly activated contractility gene programs and signatures more similar to ventricular CMs. Human iCMs produced with MGT133+TBX20 more frequently demonstrated beating and calcium oscillation in co-culture with pluripotent stem cell derived CMs. More mitochondria and higher mitochondrial respiration were also detected in iCMs after TBX20 overexpression. Mechanistically, comprehensive transcriptomic, chromatin occupancy and epigenomic integration revealed that TBX20 localized to the cis-regulatory enhancers of under-expressed cardiac genes, such as MYBPC3, MYH7 and MYL4, to activate gene expression via strengthening the occupancy and co-occupancy of transcription factors. Furthermore, we identified TBX20-regulated enhancers and confirmed the synergistic effect of MGT and TBX20 on enhancer activation. Conclusions: TBX20 promotes cardiac cell fate conversion via direct activating cardiac enhancers. Human iCMs generated with TBX20 showed enhanced cardiac function in terms of contractility and mitochondrial respiration.
