A single-cell comparison of adult and foetal human epicardium defines the age-associated changes in epicardial activity

Project description:Re-activating quiescent adult epicardium represents a potential therapeutic approach for human cardiac regeneration. However, the exact molecular differences between inactive adult and active foetal epicardium are not known. Here, we combined foetal and adult human hearts for the first time using single-cell and single-nuclei RNA sequencing, and compared epicardial cells from both stages. We found a migratory fibroblast-like epicardial population only in the foetal heart and foetal epicardium expressed angiogenic gene programs, while the adult epicardium was solely mesothelial and immune-responsive. Furthermore, we predicted that adult hearts may still receive foetal epicardial paracrine communication, including WNT-signalling with endocardium, reinforcing the validity of regenerative strategies that administer or reactivate epicardial cells in situ. Finally, we explained graft efficacy of our human embryonic stem-cell derived epicardium model, by noting its similarity to human foetal epicardium. Overall, our study defines epicardial programs of regenerative angiogenesis absent in adult hearts, contextualises animal studies, and defines epicardial states required for effective human heart regeneration.

Genome-wide analysis of epicardial gene expression in E11.5 mouse hearts

Project description:Identification of epicardium-enriched genes in the embryonic heart. The epicardium encapsulates the heart and functions as a source of multipotent progenitor cells and paracrine factors essential for cardiac development and repair. Injury of the adult heart results in re-activation of a developmental gene program in the epicardium, but the transcriptional basis of epicardial gene expression has not been delineated. We established a mouse embryonic heart organ culture and gene expression system that facilitated the identification of epicardial enhancers activated during heart development and injury. Epicardial activation of these enhancers depends on a combinatorial transcriptional code centered on CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) transcription factors. Disruption of C/EBP signaling in the adult epicardium reduced injury-induced neutrophil infiltration and improved cardiac function. These findings reveal a transcriptional basis for epicardial activation and heart injury, providing a platform for enhancing cardiac regeneration.

Nonmuscle myosin IIB regulates epicardial integrity and epicardium-derived mesenchymal cell maturation

Project description:Nonmuscle myosin IIB (NMIIB; heavy chain encoded by MYH10) is essential for cardiac myocyte cytokinesis. The role of NMIIB in other cardiac cells is not known. Here, we show that NMIIB is required in epicardial formation and functions to support myocardial proliferation and coronary vessel development. Ablation of NMIIB in epicardial cells results in disruption of epicardial integrity with a loss of E-cadherin at cell-cell junctions and a focal detachment of epicardial cells from the myocardium. NMIIB-knockout and blebbistatin-treated epicardial explants demonstrate impaired mesenchymal cell maturation during epicardial epithelial-mesenchymal transition. This is manifested by an impaired invasion of collagen gels by the epicardium-derived mesenchymal cells and the reorganization of the cytoskeletal structure. Although there is a marked decrease in the expression of mesenchymal genes, there is no change in Snail (also known as Snai1) or E-cadherin expression. Studies from epicardium-specific NMIIB-knockout mice confirm the importance of NMIIB for epicardial integrity and epicardial functions in promoting cardiac myocyte proliferation and coronary vessel formation during heart development. Our findings provide a novel mechanism linking epicardial formation and epicardial function to the activity of the cytoplasmic motor protein NMIIB.

Single epicardial cell transcriptome sequencing identifies Caveolin-1 as an essential factor in zebrafish heart regeneration

Project description:By contrast with mammals, adult zebrafish have a high capacity to regenerate damaged or lost myocardium through proliferation of spared cardiomyocytes. The epicardial sheet covering the heart is activated by injury and aids muscle regeneration through paracrine effects and as a multipotent cell source, and has received recent attention as a target in cardiac repair strategies. While it is recognized that epicardium is required for muscle regeneration and itself has high regenerative potential, the extent of cellular heterogeneity within epicardial tissue is largely unexplored. In this study, we performed transcriptome analysis on dozens of epicardial lineage cells purified from zebrafish harboring a transgenic reporter for the pan-epicardial gene tcf21. Hierarchical clustering analysis suggested the presence of at least three epicardial cell subsets defined by expression signatures. We validated many new pan-epicardial and epicardial markers by alternative expression assays. Additionally, we explored the function of the scaffolding protein and main component of caveolae, caveolin-1 (cav1), which was present in each epicardial subset. In BAC transgenic zebrafish, cav1 regulatory sequences drove strong expression in ostensibly all epicardial cells and in coronary vascular endothelial cells. Moreover, cav1 mutant zebrafish generated by genome editing showed grossly normal heart development and adult cardiac anatomy, but displayed profound defects in injury-induced cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration. Our study defines a new platform for the discovery of epicardial lineage markers, genetic tools, and mechanisms of heart regeneration. Deep sequencing of isolated single epicardial cells

scRNA-seq of E15.5 epicardium and epicardium-derived cells

Project description:The embryonic epicardium provides a source of multipotent progenitors for cardiac lineages, including pericytes, fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. However, it remains unclear if the epicardium comprises of heterogeneous progenitors or if epicardial cells are multipotent. Using scRNA-seq, we analysed the expression profile of epicardial and epicardial-derived cells at E15.5 and found no evidence of discrete epicardial sub-compartments. Our findings also support the notion that epicardial fate is specified after epithelial-mesenchymal transition, not pre-determined.

An injury-associated transient progenitor state in the epicardium mediates heart regeneration

Project description:Adult zebrafish regenerate heart muscle after severe cardiac damage without significant scarring. The epicardium, a mesothelial cell sheet covering the vetebrate heart, is activated by injury and supports muscle regeneration through paracrine effects and as a source of multipotent cells. The understudied cellular heterogeneity of the adult epicardium during heart regeneration has constrained the effort in mobilizing the epicardium for heart repair. To dissect epicardial cell states and the underlying mechanisms that lead to successful heart regeneration in zebrafish, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing of isolated epicardial cells from the regenerating adult heart and revealed their dynamic cellular heterogeneity. We defined the epithelial and mesenchymal layers of the epicardium and identified a transiently activated epicardial progenitor cell (aEPC) subpopulation that expresses aldh1a2, ptx3a, col12a1b and marcksb. Upon heart amputation injury, aEPCs emerge from the existing epicardial cells, migrate to enclose the wound, and disappear as regeneration progresses. Genetic lineage tracing combined with modified RNA labelling confirmed an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process of aEPCs and their differentiations to pdgfrb+ mural cells and pdgfra+hapln1a+ mesenchymal fibroblast-like cells that support heart regeneration. Genetic ablation of aEPCs blocked wound closure of the injured ventricle, suppressed cardiomyocyte proliferation, and disrupted heart regeneration. Our findings define a transient progenitor state of the adult epicardium that is an indispensable driver of zebrafish heart regeneration and identified ptx3a as a regeneration-specific non-ontogenetic regulator of the epicardium.

Single-cell sequencing of epicardial cells and fibroblasts within the infarcted heart

Project description:In the adult heart, the epicardium becomes activated after injury, contributing to cardiac healing by secretion of paracrine factors. Here we analyzed by single-cell RNA sequencing combined with RNA in situ hybridization and lineage tracing of WT1+ cells the cellular composition, location, and hierarchy of epicardial stromal cells (EpiSC) in comparison to activated myocardial fibroblasts/stromal cells in infarcted mouse hearts. We identified 11 transcriptionally distinct EpiSC populations, that can be classified in three groups each containing a cluster of proliferating cells. Two groups expressed cardiac specification makers and sarcomeric proteins suggestive of cardiomyogenic potential. Transcripts of HIF-1α and HIF-responsive genes were enriched in EpiSC consistent with the epicardium being a hypoxic niche. Expression of paracrine factors was not limited to WT1+ cells but was a general feature of activated cardiac stromal cells. Our findings provide the cellular framework by which myocardial ischemia may trigger in EpiSC the formation of cardioprotective/regenerative responses.
