Cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) must control their number and fate to sustain the rapid heart growth during development, yet the intrinsic factors and environment governing these processes remain unclear. Here, we show that deletion of the ancient cell-fate regulator Numb (Nb) and its homologue Numblike (Nbl) depletes CPCs in second pharyngeal arches (PA2s) and is associated with an atrophic heart. With histological, flow cytometric and functional analyses, we find that CPCs remain undifferentiated and expansive in the PA2, but differentiate into cardiac cells as they exit the arch. Tracing of Nb- and Nbl-deficient CPCs by lineage-specific mosaicism reveals that the CPCs normally populate in the PA2, but lose their expansion potential in the PA2. These findings demonstrate that Nb and Nbl are intrinsic factors crucial for the renewal of CPCs in the PA2 and that the PA2 serves as a microenvironment for their expansion.

Abstract Our understanding of nerve regeneration can be enhanced by delineating its underlying molecular activities at single neuron resolution in small model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans. Existing cell isolation techniques cannot isolate regenerating neurons from the nematode. We present femtosecond laser microdissection (fs-LM), a new single cell isolation method that dissects intact cells directly from living tissue by leveraging the micron-scale precision of fs-laser ablation. We show that fs-LM facilitated sensitive and specific gene expression profiling by single cell RNA-sequencing, while mitigating the stress related transcriptional artifacts induced by tissue dissociation. Single cell RNA-sequencing of fs-LM isolated regenerating C. elegans neurons revealed transcriptional program leading to successful regeneration in wild-type animals or regeneration failure in animals lacking DLK-1/p38 kinase. The ability of fs-LM to isolate specific neurons based on phenotype of interest allowed us to study the molecular basis of regeneration heterogeneity displayed by neurons of the same type. We identified gene modules whose expression patterns were correlated with axon regrowth rate at a single neuron level. Our results establish fs-LM as a highly specific single cell isolation method ideal for precision and phenotype-driven studies.
