Existe una controversia sobre si los cardiomiocitos son capaces de volver a entrar en el ciclo celular y dividir después de la lesión y durante la homeostasis del tejido. Los valores para el volumen de negocio básico de cardiomiocitos se han dado en el rango entre 1% 1 y 80% 7. También después de una lesión cardíaca, la inducción de la actividad del ciclo celular y la generación de nuevos cardiomiocitos se ha informado en la zona fronteriza, con valores entre 0,00...

La correcta identificación de los núcleos de cardiomiocitos y el estado del ciclo celular es de crucial importancia para la determinación del volumen de negocios del músculo cardiaco y la regeneración. Esto es especialmente cierto para el uso de marcadores nucleares, tales como pHH3, Ki-67, o los análogos de timidina, para la identificación de la actividad del ciclo celular. Como la capacidad de proliferación de los cardiomiocitos de mamíferos adultos es muy pequeño 1, una falsa identificación de un núcleo positivo para un marcador de proliferación de un núcleo de cardiomiocitos podría hacer una diferencia crucial en el resultado de un ensayo de proliferación. Además, los cardiomiocitos son propensos a las variaciones en el ciclo celular, tales como la endorreduplicación y la mitosis acytokinetic, que resultan en células poliploides y multinucleadas en lugar de en la división celular. Con este fin, la interpretación de la tinción de anticuerpos contra marcadores del ciclo celular comunes no es concluyente en todos los casos. A continuación, presentamos los métodos para la recta forwa<html> reconocimiento rd de cardiomiocitos de ratón y su nuclearidad en células aisladas nativas y secciones de tejido de espesor en las etapas postnatales y adultos por la identificación inequívoca de sus núcleos. Para ello, se utilizó una línea de ratones transgénicos con la expresión de los cardiomiocitos-específica de una proteína de fusión que consta de la histona H2B humana y mCherry bajo el control del promotor MYH6 (MYH6-H2B-MCH) 2. Cruzamiento de esta línea de ratón con una línea de ratones indicador de proliferación transgénico, en el que la expresión de una proteína de fusión eGFP-anillin está bajo el control del promotor de actina de pollo ubicua con un promotor de CMV (CAG-eGFP-anillin), permite la determinación del estado del ciclo celular. El anillin andamio de proteínas se expresa específicamente en el ciclo celular de células activas 3, y su localización subcelular diferencial durante el ciclo celular permite la progresión del ciclo celular en vivo de seguimiento con una alta resolución de la fase Mef &quot;&gt; 4. Por lo tanto, los ratones dobles transgénicos pueden ser utilizados para discriminar entre la proliferación de los cardiomiocitos y los que se someten a variaciones del ciclo celular. Esto resulta especialmente útil en el cribado de sustancias que inducen la proliferación in vitro.

visualization of cell cycle variations and determination of nucleation in postnatal cardiomyocytes

Cardiomyocytes are prone to variations of the cell cycle, such as endoreduplication (continuing rounds of DNA synthesis without karyokinesis and cytokinesis) and acytokinetic mitosis (karyokinesis but no cytokinesis). Such atypical cell cycle variations result in polyploid and multinucleated cells rather than in cell division. Therefore, to determine cardiac turnover and regeneration, it is of crucial importance to correctly identify cardiomyocyte nuclei, the number of nuclei per cell, and their cell cycle status. This is especially true for the use of nuclear markers for identifying cell cycle activity, such as thymidine analogues Ki-67, PCNA, or pHH3. Here, we present methods for recognizing cardiomyocytes and their nuclearity and for determining their cell cycle activity. We use two published transgenic systems: the Myh6-H2B-mCh transgenic mouse line, for the unequivocal identification of cardiomyocyte nuclei, and the CAG-eGFP-anillin mouse line, for distinguishing cell division from cell cycle variations. Combined together, these two systems ease the study of cardiac regeneration and plasticity.

The overall goal of this procedure is to visualize cell cycle activity in postnatal cardiomyocytes and to determine their nuclearity. This method can help answer key questions in the cardiac regeneration field, such as does a cardiomyocyte really divide or does it just increase its ploidy or become multi-nucleated? The main advantages of this technique are that the M phase of the cell cycle can be visualized in high spatiotemporal resolution and that cardiomyocyte nuclei can be identified by fluorescence.Demonstrating the procedure will be Patricia Freitag, a technician from our laboratory. If using non-homozygous breeding pairs, first identify the transgenic hearts via fluorescent microscopy to check for their EGFP analin and H2B-mCherry expression. EGFP analyin nuclear signals can be most easily detected at the edges of the atria by focusing through its tissue layers.To isolate the cardiomyocytes, place the appropriate number of hearts in 1.5 milliliter reaction tubes containing one milliliter of enzyme mix from a neonatal heart dissociation kit and cut the hearts into small pieces with scissors. Then, transfer the solution into 15 milliliter reaction tubes. Place the tube in an almost horizontal position at 37 degrees celsius for 15 minutes, mixing the tissue five to 10 times with a five milliliter pipette at the end of the incubation.At the end of the third digestion, stop the reaction with 7.5 milliliters of medium two and filter the cell suspension through a 70 micron cell strainer. Rinse the cell strainer with three milliliters of medium two, pooling the wash with the collected cells and collect the cells by centrifugation. Re-suspend the pellet in 500 microliters of medium one for counting.Then, seed one times ten to the fourth cells per well in 120 microliters of medium one in a 96-well flat-bottom plate and centrifuge the cells before their overnight culture in a cell culture incubator. The next day, most of the cardiomyocytes should be beating. Before beginning the transfection, wipe the bench and all of the transfection materials with RNAse decontamination solution to remove any RNAse.When all of the materials are ready, add 20 microliters of freshly prepared siRNA mix to each well and return the cells to the incubator for 48 hours. After two days, replace the supernatant in each well with 120 microliters of medium one and return the cells to the incubator for at least another 24 hours. At the end of the incubation, wash the cells one time with PBS, followed by fixation in 4%formaldehyde solution for 20 minutes.To analyze the cells by confocal video microscopy, transfer the plate to the confocal microscope stage and start the imaging software. Open the A1plus settings and check the channel one, two, three and four boxes. In the pull-down menu, set channel one to DAPI, channel two to eGFP, channel three to RFP, and channel four to Cy5.Click the channel voltage and use the slide bars to set the voltage to 80 for each channel. Use the slide bars to set the offset to zero and click on the home button to set the pinhole to the home position. Set the scan size to 1024 by 1024 pixels in the pull-down menu.Click optimize to open the XYZ size setup window and check the perfect voxel box under the suggested step Z.Select the 20x objective and adjust the laser intensities until the picture is neither under-nor overexposed. When all of the parameters have been set, open the acquire menu. Select scan large image then choose current position is at top left corner under area.Then set the number of fields in X and Y to three by three and click scan. To define the number of cardiomyocyte nuclei, click measure, manual measurement, and counts. Select the nuclei with H2B-mCherry signals, thereby marking and counting them.Then, select the alpha-actinin positive cells to determine the number of cardiomyocytes. To count the G1, S, G2 phase cardiomyocytes with nuclear EGFP analin signals, select measure, manual measurement, and counts. Mark the EGFP analin and H2B-mCherry expressing nuclei with clicking and manually count the cardiomyocytes with the mitosis-specific EGFP analin signals such as contractile rings and mid-bodies.Then, click measure, manual measurement, and counts and click the cardiomyocytes with mitosis-specific EGFP analin signals, cytoplasmatic signals, contractile rings, and mid-bodies. Compared to the negative controls, the miRNA and siRNA transfected cardiomyocytes demonstrate an induction of cell cycle activity. Cardiomyocytes that perform endoreduplication exhibit an exclusively nuclear EGFP analin expression, whereas cardiomyocytes undergoing cell division display EGFP analin expression in M phase typical localizations.After enzymatic digestion of the heart tissue at the Langendorff apparatus, the atria and ventricles can be mechanically separated and analyzed independently, allowing the visualization of H2B-mCherry transgenic ventricular cardiomyocytes with a high number of H2B-mCherry positive bi-nucleated cardiomyocytes. By contrast, the majority of atrial cardiomyocytes are mono-nucleated. Enzymatic digestion does not result in a 100%single-cell population revealing a pattern of cross-striation by alpha-actinin staining, further facilitating the discrimination between bi-nucleated cardiomyocytes as a continuous pattern of cross-striation and cell doublets.To analyze the bi-nucleation index of cardiomyocytes in thick slices, it is necessary to manually scroll through the stack as the nuclei do not necessarily lay within one Z-plane, with wheat germ agglutinin staining permitting the detection of the cell borders. 3D reconstructions of fixed slices of adult transgenic mouse hearts allow the detection and automated counting of hooks, stained, and H2B-mCherry positive nuclei to determine the proportion of cardiomyocyte nuclei under physiological conditions within the tissue. Once mastered, the heart dissociation can be completed in two to three hours if it is performed properly.While attempting this procedure, it is important to remember to work continuously to maintain the viability of the cells throughout the experiment. Following this procedure, it is possible to screen microRNAs or other small substances for their proliferation-inducing effects in postnatal cardiomyocytes.
