Reassessment of Isl1 and Nkx2-5 cardiac fate maps using a Gata4-based reporter of Cre activity

Abstract

Isl1 and Nkx2–5 expressing cardiovascular progenitors play pivotal roles in cardiogenesis. Previously reported Cre-based fate mapping studies showed that Isl1 progenitors contribute predominantly to the derivatives of the second heart field, and Nkx2–5 progenitors contributed mainly to the cardiomyocyte lineage. However, partial recombination of Cre reporter genes can complicate interpretation of Cre fate mapping experiments. We found that a Gata4-based Cre-activated reporter was recombined by Isl1Cre and Nkx2–5Cre in a substantially broader domain than previously reported using standard Cre-activated reporters. The expanded Isl1 and Nkx2–5 cardiac fate maps were remarkably similar, and included extensive contributions to cardiomyocyte, endocardial, and smooth muscle lineages in all four cardiac chambers. These data indicate that Isl1 is expressed in progenitors of both primary and secondary heart fields, and that Nkx2–5 is expressed in progenitors of cardiac endothelium and smooth muscle, in addition to cardiomyocytes. These results have important implications for our understanding of cardiac lineage diversification in vivo, and for the interpretation of Cre-based fate maps.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
