Abstract

Hyperlipidemia and hypertension might play a role in cardiac fibrosis, in which a heterogeneous population of fibroblasts seems important. However, it is unknown whether CD34+ progenitor cells are involved in the pathogenesis of heart fibrosis. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of CD34+ cell differentiation in cardiac fibrosis during hyperlipidemia. Through the analysis of transcriptomes from 50,870 single cells extracted from mouse hearts and 76,851 single cells from human hearts, we have effectively demonstrated the evolving cellular landscape throughout cardiac fibrosis. Disturbances in lipid metabolism can accelerate the development of fibrosis. Through the integration of bone marrow transplantation models and lineage tracing, our study showed that hyperlipidemia can expedite the differentiation of non-bone marrow-derived CD34+ cells into fibroblasts, particularly FABP4+ fibroblasts, in response to angiotensin II. Interestingly, the partial depletion of CD34+ cells led to a notable reduction in triglycerides in the heart, mitigated fibrosis, and improved cardiac function. Furthermore, immunostaining of human heart tissue revealed colocalization of CD34+ cells and fibroblasts. Mechanistically, our investigation of single-cell RNA sequencing data through pseudotime analysis combined with in vitro cellular studies revealed the crucial role of the PPARγ/Akt/Gsk3β pathway in orchestrating the differentiation of CD34+ cells into FABP4+ fibroblasts. Through our study, we generated valuable insights into the cellular landscape of CD34+ cell-derived cells in the hypertrophic heart with hyperlipidemia, indicating that the differentiation of non-bone marrow-derived CD34+ cells into FABP4+ fibroblasts during this process accelerates lipid accumulation and promotes heart failure via the PPARγ/Akt/Gsk3β pathway.

Integrative Single-Cell Analysis of Cardiomyopathy Identifies Differences in Cell Stemness and Transcriptional Regulatory Networks among Fibroblast Subpopulations.

[PMID: 38799173 PMCID: PMC11127766 DOI: 10.1155/2024/3131633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 03/31/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open

Abstract

Background

Cardiomyopathy encompasses a broad spectrum of diseases affecting myocardial tissue, characterized clinically by abnormalities in cardiac structure, heart failure, and/or arrhythmias. Clinically heterogeneous, major types include dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), restrictive cardiomyopathy (RM), ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), among which DCM is more prevalent, while ICM exhibits higher incidence and mortality rates. Myocardial injury during cardiomyopathy progression may lead to myocardial fibrosis. Failure to intervene early and inhibit the process of myocardial fibrosis may culminate in heart failure. Cardiac fibroblasts constitute crucial cellular components determining the extent and quality of myocardial fibrosis, with various subpopulations exerting diverse roles in cardiomyopathy progression. Despite this, understanding of the cellular plasticity and transcriptional regulatory networks of cardiac fibroblasts in cardiomyopathy remains limited. Therefore, in this study, we conducted comprehensive single-cell analysis of cardiac fibroblasts in cardiomyopathy to explore differences in cellular plasticity and transcriptional regulatory networks among fibroblast subpopulations, with the aim of providing as many useful references as possible for the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cardiomyopathy.

Materials and Methods

Cells with mitochondrial gene expression comprising >20% of total expressed genes were excluded. Differential expression genes (DEGs) and stemness genes within cardiac fibroblast subpopulations were subjected to Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of biological processes (BP) and AUCell analysis. Monocle software was employed to analyze the pseudo-temporal trajectory of cardiac fibroblasts in cardiomyopathy. Additionally, the Python package SCENIC was utilized to assess enrichment of transcription factors and activity of regulators within cardiac fibroblast subpopulations in cardiomyopathy.

Results

Following batch effect correction, 179,927 cells were clustered into 32 clusters, designated as T_NK cells, endothelial cells, myeloid cells, fibroblasts, pericytes, SMCs, CMs, proliferating cells, EndoCs, and EPCs. Among them, 8148 fibroblasts were further subdivided into 4 subpopulations, namely C0 THBS4+ Fibroblasts, C1 LINC01133+ Fibroblasts, C2 FGF7+ Fibroblasts, and C3 AGT + Fibroblasts. Results from GO_BP and AUCell analyses suggest that C3 AGT + Fibroblasts may be associated with immune response activation, protein transport, and myocardial contractile function, correlating with disease progression in cardiomyopathy. Transcription factor enrichment analysis indicates that FOS is the most significant TF in C3 AGT + Fibroblasts, also associated with the M1 module, possibly implicated in protein hydrolysis, intracellular DNA replication, and cell proliferation. Moreover, correlation analysis of transcriptional regulatory activity between fibroblast subpopulations reveals a more pronounced heterogeneity within C3 AGT + Fibroblasts in cardiomyopathy.

Conclusion

C3 AGT + Fibroblasts exhibit increased sensitivity towards adverse outcomes in cardiomyopathy, such as myocardial fibrosis and impaired cardiac contractile function, compared to other cardiac fibroblast subpopulations. The differential cellular plasticity and transcriptional regulatory activity between C3 AGT + Fibroblasts and other subgroups offer new perspectives for targeting fibroblast subpopulation activity to treat cardiomyopathy. Additionally, stemness genes EPAS1 and MYC, along with the regulator FOS, may play roles in modulating the biological processes of cardiac fibroblasts in cardiomyopathy.
