Project description:Rationale: The atrioventricular conduction system controls ventricular activation and is delineated by expression of Tbx3. Genome-wide association studies identified genetic variants near TBX3 associated with conduction velocities (PR interval and QRS duration), suggesting minor changes in TBX3 dose affect conduction system function. Objective: To assess whether and how Tbx3 dose reduction affects the integrity of the atrioventricular conduction system. Methods and Results: Electrocardiograms revealed a PR interval shortening and prolonged QT interval and QRS duration in heterozygous Tbx3 mutants compared to wild-types. We observed that the atrioventricular bundle and proximal bundle branches of Tbx3+/- mice after birth became hypoplastic, whereas the size of the atrioventricular node was not affected. The transcriptomes of wild-type and Tbx3+/- atrioventricular nodes were analyzed using BAC-Tbx3-Egfp mice enabling specific isolation of the atrioventricular node by laser capture microdissection followed by RNA-sequencing. Hundreds of genes were slightly but consistently deregulated. Cross-referencing with transcriptome data of isolated cardiomyocytes of the conduction system and chamber myocardium derived from Tbx3+/Venus;BAC-Nppb-Katushka hearts revealed that a set of chamber-enriched genes, including Kcne1 (MinK), Ryr2, and Scn5a, were upregulated in Tbx3+/- atrioventricular nodes, whereas conduction system-enriched genes, including Hcn4 and Cacna2d2, were downregulated. We performed ATAC-sequencing on purified fetal Tbx3+ atrioventricular cardiomyocytes to identify potential atrioventricular-specific regulatory DNA elements on a genome-wide scale, and identified regulatory elements mediating the Tbx3-dependent regulation of Ryr2 and other target genes in the atrioventricular node. Conclusions: Tbx3 dose reduction results in deregulation of a large number of genes affecting the electrical properties of the atrioventricular node and causes failure to maintain the structural integrity of the atrioventricular bundle. These data provide a mechanism underlying differences in PR interval and QRS duration in individuals carrying associated variants in the TBX3 locus.

Project description:In this study, we aimed to differentiate atrioventricular (AV) canal-like cardiomyocytes (AVCM) from hiPSCs to facilitate the study of disorders that affect the AV conduction axis. hiPSC-derived AVCM preferentially expressed AV canal-associated genes MSX2, TBX2 and TBX3. Single cell RNA sequencing and comparative analysis with mouse heart further validated their AV canal-like identity. In addition, hiPSC-AVCM demonstrated sensitivity to ivabradine and carbachol, indicating the presence of key nodal currents If and IKACh. To model the AV conduction axis, we created an organoid-based tissue model. These so-called “assembloids” consisted of atrial, AVC, and ventricular organoids, which exhibited spontaneous contractions and unidirectional conduction with impulses initiated predominantly at the atrial end. Remarkably, we observed slower conduction in the AVC region of the assembloid, effectively recapitulating the “fast-slow-fast” conduction pattern found in the early heart tube. Our results demonstrate that hiPSC-derived AVCM recapitulate molecular and electrophysiological properties of in vivo AV canal cardiomyocytes and tissue models incorporating this cell type enhance our ability to evaluate complex cardiac conduction disorders.

Project description:Rationale: A critical step in heart development is the coordinated formation of nodal myocardium and cushion tissue from the atrioventricular canal (AVC). After its specification, the myocardium of the AVC aligns the chambers, forms the AV node, and induces the formation of the mesenchymal AV cushions, primordia of valves and septa, while it resists working myocardial differentiation. Objective: To assess what roles Tbx2 and Tbx3, two closely related T-box transcription factors expressed in the AVC, play in these processes. Methods and Results: We analyzed mice ectopically expressing Tbx3 in the atrial myocardium by genome-wide microarray and expression analysis. We found a prominent role for Tbx3 in defining the nodal phenotype by repressing working myocardial genes (sarcomeric, mitochondrial, fast conduction) and cell proliferation regulators, and in inducing node-associated genes. Moreover, there was a striking induction of genes associated with endocardial cushions and mesenchyme. Using gain-of-function models, we found that in the developing heart both Tbx2 and Tbx3 induce ectopic Bmp2 and Tgfb2 expression and endocardial cushion formation. Analysis of compound Tbx2/Tbx3 mutant embryos revealed that upon loss of more than two functional alleles, expansion of the AV myocardium does not occur and AV cushions fail to form. Conclusions: Tbx2 and Tbx3 locally stimulate development of the AVC myocardium, induce the AV nodal phenotype therein and trigger AV cushion formation from the overlying AV endocardium, providing a mechanism for the colocalization and coordination of these two important processes in heart development.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the atrioventricular canal from e10.5 mouse hearts comparing wild-type control with Tbx3 GH/N hypomorphic mutant microdissected tissue. The goal was to identify direct and indirect targets of the transcription factor Tbx3, because Tbx3 is expressed in the AVC and hypomorphs develop embryonic AV conduction block at e12.5.

Nppa-Cre4 (Cre4) mice were crossed with CT mice to obtain efficient activation of Tbx3 in atria of double transgenic Cre4-CT mice, as previously described (Hoogaars et al., 2007). To investigate the gene expression profile of atria of Cre4-CT mice, we performed whole genome microarray analysis using Sentrix Mouse-6 oligonucleotide beadchips. We compared the atrial gene expression profiles of six male double transgenic Cre4-CT mice and six male Cre4 control mice.

Project description:The atrioventricular (AV) node is a recurrent source of potentially life-threatening arrhythmias. Nevertheless, limited data are available on its developmental control or molecular phenotype. We used a novel AV node-specific reporter mouse to gain insight into the gene programs determining the formation and phenotype of the AV node. In the transgenic reporter, green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression was driven by 160 kbp of Tbx3 and flanking sequences. GFP was selectively expressed in the AV canal of embryos, and in the AV node of adults, while all other Tbx3+ conduction system components, including the AV bundle, were devoid of GFP expression. Fluorescent AV nodal (Tbx3BAC-Egfp) and complementary working (NppaBAC336-Egfp) myocardial cell populations of E10.5 embryos and E17.5 fetuses were purified using fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and their expression profiles were assessed by microarray analysis. We constructed a comprehensive list of sodium, calcium, and potassium channels specific for the nodal or working myocard. Furthermore, the data revealed that the AV node and the working myocardium phenotypes diverge during development, but that the functional gene classes characteristic for both compartments are maintained. Interestingly, the AV node-specific gene repertoire consisted of multiple neurotrophic factors not yet appreciated to play a role in nodal development. These data present the first genome-wide transcription profiles of the AV node during development, providing valuable information concerning its molecular identity.
