2 Chapter 1 General Introduction
3 Cardiac development and disease The heart forms from the mesodermal germ layer of the embryo and is one of the first functional organs. Development of the heart begins with bilateral fields of cardiac precursors fusing to form a crescent shaped structure at days of gestation in humans (Sylva et al 2014). This is followed by the formation of a linear heart tube, which undergoes rightward looping. The first heartbeat is detectable around 22 days of human development. The vertebrate heart then divides into four chambers two ventricles and two atria, which are separated by fibrous skeletal structures, derived from the endocardial cushions. Simultaneously, the blood vessels that connect the heart to pulmonary and systemic circulation begin to develop within the pharyngeal arches of the embryo (Moore et al, 2015). Electrical activity of the heart is coordinated by a specialized conduction system (CS) that allows contraction of the heart essential for its role as a mechanical pump. The right side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body, which is sent to the lungs while the left side supplies oxygenated blood coming from the lungs to the rest of the body. Heart disease, both congenital and acquired, is responsible for millions of deaths each year. Chromosomal abnormalities (e.g. Trisomy21, DiGeorge syndrome) and mutations in cardiogenic transcription factors such as GATA4, TBX5 have been reported to cause congenital heart disease (CHD) (Fahed et al, 2013). Septal defects (atrial/ventricular/atrioventricular) are the most commonly occurring forms of CHD. Acquired cardiac disease on the other hand maybe multifactorial (e.g. coronary heart disease) although genetic predisposition that increases the risk of an individual for heart attack or sudden cardiac death (SCD). For example, heritable mutations in ion channel genes such as KCNQ1 cause long QT syndrome, the symptoms of which manifest in childhood or adolescence and patients suffering from this disease are prone to SCD (Modell & Lehmann 2006). Research performed on experimental animal models has been essential for understanding the genetic and molecular pathways involved in physiology and pathophysiology of the heart. In particular, mouse experimental models have been widely used due to ease of genetic manipulation and maintenance (Fox et al, 2007). However, there are noteworthy differences between a human and mouse heart including variations in distribution of potassium channels and heart rate (Hamlin & Altschuld, 2011). These biological distinctions underline the importance of relevant models to study human cardiac function. Human pluripotent stem cell models of cardiac development and disease Human pluripotent stem cells (hpscs), both human embryonic stem cells (hescs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hipscs) have proven to be valuable for studying cardiac differentiation and disease in vitro. Isolation of ESCs from blastocysts of human embryos in 1998 marked the beginning of a new era in experimental medicine (Thomson et al, 1998). hescs were shown to be capable of unlimited proliferation in culture and were also able to differentiate to derivatives of all three germ layers. The availability of hesc lines provided a tool for emulating differentiation of human lineages in vitro and protocols were developed for generation of cardiomyocytes (CMs) from hescs (Kehat et al, 2001; Mummery et al, 2002). Differentiation of hescs to CMs gave insight into early steps of cardiovascular specification and established that this model mimics cardiac development in vivo (Beqqali et al 2006; Cao
4 Chapter 1 et al, 2008). With the realization that mammalian heart has limited regenerative capacity, research into alternative sources of CMs for cell repair gained momentum. hesc-derived CMs were viewed as an attractive option for transplantation into damaged heart. Several studies demonstrated that hesc-cms engraft with the host tissue when injected into injured rodent heart and may improve function, although beneficial effects were not maintained in long-term studies (Caspi et al, 2007; van Laake et al 2007, Laflamme et al, 2007). However, heterogeneity of CM preparations posed risk of teratoma formation and arrhythmias. Moreover, the possibility of immunologic rejection of graft tissue and poor survival of implanted CMs had to be addressed. In addition, application of hesc-derived CMs for safety pharmacology also attracted interest. Figure 1. Human pluripotent stem cells (hpscs). Human embryonic stem cells (hescs) were derived from inner cell mass of blastocyst stage of human embryos in 1998 and human induced pluripotent stem cells (hipscs) were generated by reprogramming human adult somatic cells in hescs and hipscs are characterized by prolonged self-renewal in culture and the ability to differentiate to cell types representing all three germ layers such as brain and skin (ectoderm derivatives); gut and liver (endoderm derivatives), heart and blood vessels (mesoderm derivatives). Cardiotoxicity is the major cause for withdrawal of pharmaceutical compounds during preclinical development (Chi et al, 2013). Drugs inducing prolongation of QT interval (a parameter measuring the electrical depolarization and repolarization of the ventricles) on the electrocardiogram (ECG) may lead to ventricular arrhythmias and as a consequence, 10
5 Introduction may cause SCD. By measuring electrical properties of hesc-cms in response to drugs, cardiotoxicity could be predicted in vitro (Chaudhary et al 2006; Braam et al 2010). Despite the tremendous scope for application of hesc-derived CMs in basic and preclinical research, they raise ethical concerns in some countries. hescs are isolated from human pre-implantation embryos formed by in vitro fertilization and since the embryo is destroyed during stem cell isolation, the use of these cells for research has been under scrutiny. A major breakthrough was achieved in 2007 with the discovery of hipscs, generated by reprogramming somatic cells (Takahashi et al, 2007). hipscs resembled hescs in morphological and molecular characteristics. Most importantly, they were also capable of unlimited self-renewal and had the ability to differentiate to derivatives of all three germ layers. The use of somatic cells for conversion into stem cells also circumvents some of the ethical barriers associated with hescs. Introduction of hipscs opened up new avenues in stem cell biology and for the first time, stem cells generated from patients were being used for cardiac disease modeling in vitro (Moretti et al, 2010; Itzhaki et al, 2011). Furthermore, patient-specific hipsc-derived cell types would be immunocompatible for cell replacement therapies. In the recent years, excellent protocols have been developed for guided differentiation of CMs from hpscs. Recapitulating embryonic cardiovascular development during hpsc differentiation using human recombinant growth factors promoted efficient differentiation (Kattmann et al, 2011). Further optimization of differentiation strategies to include small molecules (Lian et al, 2012; Burridge et al, 2014) and exclude any xenogenic components (Lian et al, 2015) greatly enhanced efficiency of CM differentiation. Identification of cell surface markers, such as SIRPA and VCAM1 has also made it possible to separate CMs from other cell types in culture (Elliott et al, 2011; Dubois et al, 2011). Combined with other novel technologies in the fields of genetic medicine, tissue engineering, and genome editing, hpsc-cm models will be valuable for 1) understanding lineage decisions determining CM specification, 2) unraveling molecular basis of disease, 3) translational applications such as target/drug discovery, diagnostic medicine and developing effective treatment strategies. 11
6 Chapter 1 Outline of this thesis In this dissertation, we describe research performed with hpscs in order to study cardiac differentiation and disease. In chapter 2, we reviewed our current understanding of cardiac lineage specification in vivo, with the aim of using this knowledge to guide differentiation to specific cardiac subtypes in vitro. We discussed the importance of generating cardiac subtypes from hpscs for applications in disease modeling, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In chapter 3, we described the generation of atrial-like CMs from hescs and demonstrate their value in preclinical research for testing selectivity of drugs being developed for atrial fibrillation. In addition, we also described a role for orphan nuclear transcription factors, COUP-TFI and COUP-TFII in hesc-atrial CMs. In chapter 4, we studied the association of a splice site mutation in TECRL to catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). CMs generated from patient-specific hipscs were valuable to study the electrophysiological features of TECRL mutant CMs and test the effect of Flecainide, a class Ic antiarrhythmic drug found to be effective in other forms of CPVT. In chapter 5, we performed further characterization of TECRL mutant hipsc-cms in order to identify dysregulated gene and signaling pathways. Functional analyses demonstrated altered mitochondrial function in TECRL mutant CMs. This work provides a framework for future studies aiming to elucidate the link between TECRL and inherited cardiac arrhythmias. In chapter 6, we investigated the molecular signature of the developing cardiac conduction system (CCS) in human fetal hearts. A panel of genes implicated in CCS development was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. This work serves as a reference for gene expression in the human cardiac CS during early stages of fetal development. In chapter 7, we discussed the significance of findings presented in this thesis with respect to cardiac development and their clinical impact. Scope for future work in the field is also proposed. 12
