Objective: Using a mouse model of Eln (elastin) insufficiency that spontaneously develops neointima in the ascending aorta, we sought to understand the origin and phenotypic heterogeneity of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) contributing to intimal hyperplasia. We were also interested in exploring how vascular cells adapt to the absence of Eln. Approach and Results: We used single-cell sequencing together with lineage-specific cell labeling to identify neointimal cell populations in a noninjury, genetic model of neointimal formation. Inactivating Eln production in vascular SMCs results in rapid intimal hyperplasia around breaks in the ascending aorta’s internal elastic lamina. Using lineage-specific Cre drivers to both lineage mark and inactivate Eln expression in the secondary heart field and neural crest aortic SMCs, we found that cells with a secondary heart field lineage are significant contributors to neointima formation. We also identified a small population of secondary heart field-derived SMCs underneath and adjacent to the internal elastic lamina. Within the neointima of SMC-Eln knockout mice, 2 unique SMC populations were identified that are transcriptionally different from other SMCs. While these cells had a distinct gene signature, they expressed several genes identified in other studies of neointimal lesions, suggesting that some mechanisms underlying neointima formation in Eln insufficiency are shared with adult vessel injury models. Conclusions: These results highlight the unique developmental origin and transcriptional signature of cells contributing to neointima in the ascending aorta. Our findings also show that the absence of Eln, or changes in elastic fiber integrity, influences the SMC biological niche in ways that lead to altered cell phenotypes.

Inactivation of the left-right asymmetry gene Pitx2 has been shown, in mice, to result in right isomerism with associated defects that are similar to that found in humans. We show that the Pitx2c isoform is expressed asymmetrically in a presumptive secondary heart field within the branchial arch and splanchnic mesoderm that contributes to the aortic sac and conotruncal myocardium. Pitx2c was expressed in left aortic sac mesothelium and in left splanchnic and branchial arch mesoderm near the junction of the aortic sac and branchial arch arteries. Mice with an isoform-specific deletion of Pitx2c had defects in asymmetric remodeling of the aortic arch vessels. Fatemapping studies using a Pitx2 cre recombinase knock-in allele showed that daughters ofPitx2-expressing cells populated the right and left ventricles,atrioventricular cushions and valves and pulmonary veins. In Pitx2mutant embryos, descendents of Pitx2-expressing cells failed to contribute to the atrioventricular cushions and valves and the pulmonary vein,resulting in abnormal morphogenesis of these structures. Our data provide functional evidence that the presumptive secondary heart field, derived from branchial arch and splanchnic mesoderm, patterns the forming outflow tract and reveal a role for Pitx2c in aortic arch remodeling. Moreover, our findings suggest that a major function of the Pitx2-mediated left right asymmetry pathway is to pattern the aortic arches, outflow tract and atrioventricular valves and cushions.

The secondary heart field (SHF) progenitors ultimately contributes to diverse cardiovascular cell types through the formation of an early, multipotent heart progenitor pool and are marked by expression of ISL1, a LIM-homeodomain transcription factor. Human SHF can be derived from human pluripotent stem cells but their characterization has been limited due to the inefficiency of the differentiation protocols and lack of a proper reporter or surface marker based purification system. Using genetic tools and antibiotic selection we were able to purify ISL1+ cells for global gene expression analysis to identify key pathways that SHF identity. Genetic and small molecule based manipulation of these pathways alter ISL1 induction in differentiating cultures. Further proteomic analysis of enriched ISL1+ cells identified a hit surface marker that enables prospective isolation of ISL1+ secondary heart field progenitor cells with more than 90% purity. Purified SHF cells were multipotent and differentiate into pacemaker cells, endothelial and smooth muscle cells as well as mature beating cardiomyocytes. Finally transplantation of hPSC-derived purified SHF progenitors using this surface marker, restored myocardial function and regenerated infarcted area in mice myocardial infarction model.
