(Submitter supplied) 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. more...

(Submitter supplied) The epicardium, a thin mesothelial tissue layer that encompasses the heart, is a dynamic structure that is essential for cardiac regeneration in species with elevated regenerative capacity like zebrafish. To dissect epicardial cell states and associated pro-regenerative functions, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing and identified 7 epicardial cell clusters in adult zebrafish, with 3 of these clusters enhanced during regeneration. more...

(Submitter supplied) 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. more...

(Submitter supplied) The epicardium is a mesothelial tissue layer that envelops the heart. Cardiac injury activates dynamic gene expression programs in epicardial tissue, which in the case of zebrafish enables subsequent regeneration through paracrine and vascularizing effects. To identify tissue regeneration enhancer elements (TREEs) that control injury-induced epicardial gene expression during heart regeneration, we profiled transcriptomes and chromatin accessibility in epicardial cells purified from regenerating zebrafish hearts. more...

(Submitter supplied) Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, and frequently leads to massive heart injury and the loss of billions of cardiac muscle cells and associated vasculature. Critical work in the last two decades demonstrated that these lost cells can be partially regenerated by the epicardium, the outermost mesothelial layer of the heart, in a process that highly recapitulates its role in heart development. more...

(Submitter supplied) Purpose: Studying the epicardium-myocardium crosstalk in the zebrafish larval heart. To do so, we aimed to identify, with RNA-seq, the genes dysregulated following the loss of the epicardial marker gene tcf21 in sorted epicardial cells and cardiomyocytes. Results: We first analyzed the transcriptome of epicardial and myocardial WT cells and identified cell-type specific/enriched genes. Then, we identified several differential expressed genes in tcf21 mutants, including several ligand-receptor couples known to mediate the epicardium-myocardium crosstalk.

(Submitter supplied) The goal of the present study is to determine the miRNA cargo present in epicardial extracellular vesicles. For that, epicardial cells and human primary epicardial cells were cultured. Conditioned media was isolated from mouse epicardial cells and human primary epicardial cells derived from right atrial appendages in two different states: “cobble” (inactive) cells and “spindle” (active) . RNA from EVs was isolated and sequenced to determine the miRNA content profile.

(Submitter supplied) Epicardial cells can undergo epithelium-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) upon which the epicardium-derived cells (EPDCs) migrate into the myocardium and deliver growth factors or differentiate into smooth muscle cells or fibroblasts. The cell fate of EPDCs has been proposed to be determined by the persistence of subpopulations found in the proepicardial organ, but findings regarding this epicardial heterogeneity have been inconsistent. more...

(Submitter supplied) Unlike the adult mammalian heart, which has limited regenerative capacity, the zebrafish heart can fully regenerate following injury. Reactivation of cardiac developmental programmes is considered key to successfully regenerating the heart, yet the regulatory elements underlying the response triggered upon injury and during development remain elusive. Organ-wide activation of the epicardium is essential for zebrafish heart regeneration and is considered a potential regenerative source to target in the mammalian heart. more...

(Submitter supplied) Fibroblasts are activated to repair the heart following injury. Fibroblast activation in the mammalian heart leads to a permanent fibrotic scar that impairs cardiac function. In other organisms, such as zebrafish, cardiac injury is followed by transient fibrosis and scar-free regeneration. The mechanisms that drive scarring versus scar-free regeneration are not well understood. Here, we show that the homeobox-containing transcription factor Prrx1b is required for scar-free regeneration of the zebrafish heart as the loss of Prrx1b results in excessive fibrosis and impaired cardiomyocyte proliferation. more...

(Submitter supplied) Despite extensive studies on endogenous heart regeneration within the past 20 years, the players involved in initiating early regeneration events are far from clear. Here, we assessed the function of neutrophils, the first-responder cells to tissue damage, during heart regeneration. We detected rapid neutrophil mobilization to the injury site after ventricular amputation, peaking at 1-day post-amputation (dpa) and resolving by 3 dpa. more...

(Submitter supplied) To delineate the role of the epicardium, the initial site of presentation of the ACM phenotype, the Dsp gene, encoding desmosome protein desmoplakin (DSP) was conditionally deleted in the mouse epicardial cells under the transcriptional regulation of Wilms tumor 1 (Wt1) locus. Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) of ~ 40,000 tagged epicardial-derived cells (EDCs), isolated using the dual reporter R26mT/mG mice, showed an increased number of EDCs expressing unique molecular identifiers of fibroblasts as well as a unique subset of epicardial-derived fibroblasts expressing pro-fibrotic genes in the Wt1-Cre: R26mT/mG: Dsp mice. more...

(Submitter supplied) During cardiac development, cells from the precardiac mesoderm fuse to form the primordial heart tube, which then grows by addition of further progenitors to the venous and arterial poles. In the zebrafish, wilms tumor 1 transcription factor a (wt1a) and b (wt1b) are expressed in the pericardial mesoderm at the venous pole of the forming heart tube. The pericardial mesoderm forms a single layered mesothelial sheet that contributes to further the growth of the myocardium, and forms the proepicardium. more...
