| Summary |
Cardiomyocytes are highly metabolic cells responsible for generating the contractile force that drives heart function. During fetal development and regeneration, these cells undergo active division but lose their proliferation activity in the adult heart. The mechanisms that coordinate their metabolism and proliferation are not fully understood. Here, we study the developmental functions of the transcription factor NFYa, which we previously identified from regenerating cardiomyocytes. We show that loss of NFYa profoundly alters cardiomyocyte composition, with a decrease in immature regenerative cells and an increase in trabecular and mature cardiomyocytes, as revealed by spatial and single-cell transcriptome analyses. NFYa-deleted cardiomyocytes exhibited reduced proliferation and impaired mitochondrial metabolism, contributing to the cardiac growth defect. NFYa acts as a transcriptional activator of mitochondrial metabolic genes as well as cell-cycle genes in cardiomyocytes through its interaction with the cofactor SP2, providing a direct link between metabolism and proliferation at the gene transcriptional level. Our study reveals a key role of NFYa in regulating cardiac growth before birth and a previously unrecognized transcriptional control mechanism of metabolic genes in the heart, and highlights the importance of mitochondrial metabolism during fetal heart development and regeneration.
