heart of glass Regulates the Concentric Growth of the Heart in Zebrafish

Abstract: heart of glass encodes a previously uncharacterized endocardial signal that is vital for patterning concentric growth of the heart. Growth of the heart requires addition of myocardial cells along the endocardial-to-myocardial axis. This axis of patterning is driven by heg, a novel transmembrane protein expressed in the endocardium.

“…To test the idea that progenitor cell populations give rise to new CMs during homeostasis, we assessed CM maturation in the cmlc2:nRFP transgenic line, a strain that reports a slow-folding, nuclear-localized DsRed2 protein under control of the cardiac myosin light chain 2 (myl7 -Zebrafish Information Network) promoter (Mably et al, 2003). Mature CMs in these transgenic fish show nuclear-localized DsRed fluorescence.…”

“…Mutations in the heart of glass (heg), santa (krit1), and valentine (ccm2) genes do not seem to influence the shape of the heart tube, but they do cause severe distortion of chamber shape: the mutant hearts have thin-walled, extremely dilated chambers [35,36]. All three of these genes are expressed in endothelial cells, with heg clearly being expressed in the endocardium, suggesting that endocardial-myocardial signaling plays a key role in regulating chamber wall thickening.…”

“…For the heart, part of such morphogenesis reflects control of overall cell number (Rottbauer et al, 2001;Rottbauer et al, 2002). Others control development of cells along two axes: anterior-posterior (Stainier and Fishman, 1992) and concentric (Mably et al, 2003). During the first stage of primitive heart tube formation the heart grows in essentially an anteriorposterior direction, with each of the two chambers constituted by a single-layered myocardium around the single layer of endocardium.…”
