| Sumario: | In contrast to mammals, the zebrafish maintains its cardiomyocyte proliferation capacity throughout adulthood. However, neither the molecular mechanisms that orchestrate the proliferation of cardiomyocytes during developmental heart growth nor in the context of regeneration in the adult are sufficiently defined yet. We identified in a forward genetic N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis screen the recessive, embryonic-lethal zebrafish mutant baldrian (bal), which shows severely impaired developmental heart growth due to diminished cardiomyocyte proliferation. By positional cloning, we identified a missense mutation in the zebrafish histone deacetylase 1 (hdac1) gene leading to severe protein instability and the loss of Hdac1 function in vivo. Hdac1 inhibition significantly reduces cardiomyocyte proliferation, indicating a role of Hdac1 during developmental heart growth in zebrafish. To evaluate whether developmental and regenerative Hdac1-associated mechanisms of cardiomyocyte proliferation are conserved, we analyzed regenerative cardiomyocyte proliferation after Hdac1 inhibition at the wound border zone in cryoinjured adult zebrafish hearts and we found that Hdac1 is also essential to orchestrate regenerative cardiomyocyte proliferation in the adult vertebrate heart. In summary, our findings suggest an important and conserved role of Histone deacetylase 1 (Hdac1) in developmental and adult regenerative cardiomyocyte proliferation in the vertebrate heart. |
