Project description:Background: The protein kinase PKN2 is required for embryonic development, and PKN2 knockout mice die as a result of failure in expansion of mesoderm tissues, cardiac development and neural tube closure. In the adult, cardiomyocyte PKN2 and PKN1 (in combination) are required for cardiac adaptation to pressure-overload. The role of PKN2 in contractile cardiomyocytes during development and its role in the adult heart remain to be fully established. Methods: We used mice with cardiomyocyte-directed knockout of PKN2 or global PKN2 haploinsufficiency. Cardiac function and dimensions were assessed with high resolution episcopic microscopy, MRI, micro-CT and echocardiography. Biochemical and histological changes were assessed. Results: Cardiomyocyte-directed PKN2 knockout embryos displayed striking abnormalities in the compact myocardium, with frequent myocardial clefts and diverticula, ventricular septal defects and abnormal heart shape. The sub-Mendelian homozygous knockout survivors developed cardiac failure. RNASeq data showed upregulation of PKN2 in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, suggesting an involvement in adult heart disease. Given the rarity of homozygous survivors with cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of PKN2, this was explored using mice with constitutive heterozygous PKN2 knockout. Cardiac hypertrophy resulting from hypertension induced by angiotensin II was reduced in haploinsufficient PKN2 mice relative to wild-type littermates, with suppression of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis. Conclusions: Cardiomyocyte PKN2 is essential for heart development and formation of compact myocardium, and is also required for cardiac hypertrophy in hypertension. Thus, PKN signalling may offer therapeutic options for managing congenital and adult heart diseases.

Project description:Malnutrition during pregnancy, which causes prenatal exposure to excessive glucocorticoid, induces adverse metabolic programming leading to hypertension in offspring. Pregnant rats receiving a low-protein diet exhibited moderate downregulation of 11-beta-dehydrogenase isozyme 2, which inactivates corticosterone, in the placenta, resulting in prenatal exposure to excessive corticosterone. In offspring of pregnant rats receiving a low-protein diet or dexamethasone, mRNA expression of angiotensin receptor type 1a (Agtr1a) in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus was upregulated, concurrent with reduced expression of DNA methyltransferase 3a (Dnmt3a), reduced binding of DNMT3a to the Agtr1a promoter, and DNA demethylation, suggesting hypothalamic Agtr1a expression is epigenetically modulated by excess glucocorticoid. Dexamethasone treatment of PVN cells downregulated DNMT3a while upregulating Agtr1a, and decreased DNMT3a binding and DNA demethylation at the Agtr1a promoter. Consistent with Agtr1a upregulation in the hypothalamus, salt loading increased BP in both types of offspring. Even without dexamethasone treatment, hypothalamic neuron-specific DNMT3a-deficient mice, in which Agtr1a was upregulated, exhibited salt-induced BP elevation. By contrast, dexamethasone-treated Agtr1a-deficient mice failed to show salt-induced BP elevation, despite reduced expression of DNMT3a. Thus, epigenetic modulation of hypothalamic angiotensin signaling contributes to salt-sensitive hypertension induced by prenatal glucocorticoid excess in offspring of mothers that are malnourished during pregnancy.

Project description:During cardiomyocyte (CM) maturation, the centrosome undergoes a dramatic structural reorganization whereby certain components, previously localized at the centrioles, become localized to the nuclear envelope. Here, we generated a scRNA-seq data set of iPSC-CMs and identified impaired CM maturation as a key dysregulated process underlying a case of congenital dilated cardiomyopathy

Project description:Angiotensin IV mitigates diabetic cardiomyopathy via downregulating FoxO1-mediated autophagy
| PRJNA649543 | ENA
Project description:It is well known that rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a critical role in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. The present study was aimed to clarify the role of a novel member of RAAS, angiotensin IV (Ang IV) and its downstream mediator forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1), in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy. In vivo, diabetic mice were treated with low-, medium- and high-dose Ang IV, AT4R antagonist divalinal, FoxO1 inhibitor AS1842856 (AS), or their combinations. In vitro, cardiomyocytes and cardiofibroblasts were treated with different concentrations of glucose, low-, medium- and high-dose Ang IV, divalinal, FoxO1-overexpression plasmid (FoxO1-OE), AS or their combinations. The results showed that Ang IV treatment dose-dependently attenuated left ventricular dysfunction, fibrosis, and myocyte apoptosis in diabetic mice. Besides, enhanced autophagy and FoxO1 protein expression by diabetes were dose-dependently suppressed by Ang IV treatment. However, these cardioprotective effects of Ang IV were completely abolished by divalinal administration. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the differentially expressed genes were enriched in autophagy, apoptosis, and FoxO signaling pathways among control, diabetes, and diabetes+high-dose Ang IV groups. Similar to Ang IV, AS treatment ameliorated diabetic cardiomyopathy in mice. In vitro, high glucose stimulation increased collagen expression, apoptosis, overactive autophagy flux and FoxO1 nuclear translocation in cardiomyocytes, and upregulated collagen and FoxO1 expression in cardiofibroblasts, which were substantially attenuated by Ang IV treatment. However, these protective effects of Ang IV were completely blocked by the use of divalinal or FoxO1-OE, and these detrimental effects were reversed by the additional administration of AS. In summary, Ang IV treatment dose-dependently attenuated left ventricular dysfunction and remodeling in a mouse model of diabetic cardiomyopathy, and the mechanisms involved stimulation of AT4R and suppression of FoxO1-mediated fibrosis, apoptosis, and overactive autophagy.

Project description:Activation of the systemic and myocardial rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) by hyperglycemia plays a critical role in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. To test the hypothesis that AngIV protects against diabetic cardiomyopathy via stimulation of AT4R and inhibition of overactive autophagy, diabetic mice were treated with low-, medium- and high-dose AngIV, AT4R antagonist divalinal, forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) inhibitor AS1842856 (AS) or their combinations. In vitro, cardiomyocytes were treated with different concentrations of glucose, low-, medium- and high-dose AngIV, divalinal, FoxO1-overexpression plasmid (FoxO1-OE), AS or their combinations. The results showed that AngIV treatment dose-dependently attenuated left ventricular dysfunction, remodeling, fibrosis, and myocyte apoptosis in diabetic mice. Besides, autophagy and FoxO1 protein expression enhanced by diabetes were dose-dependently suppressed by AngIV treatment. However, these cardioprotective effects of AngIV were completely abolished by divalinal administration. Bioinformatic analyses revealed that the differentially expressed genes were enriched in autophagy, apoptosis, and FoxO signaling pathways among control, diabetes, and diabetes+high-dose AngIV groups. Similar to AngIV, AS treatment ameliorated diabetic cardiomyopathy in mice. In vitro, AngIV inhibited collagen expression, apoptosis, overactive autophagy flux, and FoxO1 nuclear translocation induced by high glucose in cardiomyocytes. However, these protective effects of AngIV were completely blocked by the use of divalinal or FoxO1-OE, and these detrimental effects were reversed by the additional administration of AS. In summary, AngIV treatment dose-dependently attenuated left ventricular dysfunction and remodeling in a mouse model of diabetic cardiomyopathy, and the mechanism involved stimulation of AT4R, suppression of FoxO1 nuclear translocation and inhibition of FoxO1-mediated overactive autophagy.

Project description:Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a CTG microsatellite expansion (CTGexp) disorder caused by expression of CUGexp RNAs. These mutant RNAs alter the activities of RNA processing factors, including MBNL proteins, leading to reversion to specific fetal isoforms in adult tissues and DM1 pathology. While this pathogenesis model accounts for adult-onset disease, the molecular basis of congenital DM (CDM) is unknown. Here, we test the hypothesis that disruption of developmentally regulated RNA alternative processing pathways contributes to CDM disease. Analysis of alternative splicing (AS) transitions during human myogenesis reveals hundreds of AS events that undergo prenatal isoform transitions and both AS and alternative polyadenylation abnormalities are prominently detectable in infant CDM muscle biopsies. While the majority of RNA targets are also mis-regulated in adult-onset DM1, splicing dysregulation is significantly more severe in CDM. Since many of these mis-processing events are MBNL-regulated, we generated mouse Mbnl double (Mbnl1; Mbnl2) and triple (Mbnl1; Mbnl2; Mbnl3) muscle-specific knockout models that recapitulate the congenital myopathy, gene expression and spliceopathy defects characteristic of CDM. This study demonstrates RNA mis-processing is a major pathogenic factor in CDM and provides novel mouse models to further examine roles for co/post-transcriptional gene regulation during tissue development.
