AbstractIn embryos, multipotent progenitors divide to produce distinct progeny and express their full potential. In vertebrates, multipotent cardiopharyngeal progenitors produce second-heart-field-derived cardiomyocytes, and branchiomeric skeletal head muscles. However, the mechanisms underlying these early fate choices remain largely elusive. The tunicate Ciona emerged as an attractive model to study early cardiopharyngeal development at high resolution: through two asymmetric and oriented divisions, defined cardiopharyngeal progenitors produce distinct first and second heart precursors, and pharyngeal muscle (aka atrial siphon muscle, ASM) precursors. Here, we demonstrate that differential FGF-MAPK signaling distinguishes between heart and ASM precursors. We characterize a feed-forward circuit that promotes the successive activations of essential ASM determinants, Hand-related, Tbx1/10 and Ebf. Finally, we show that coupling FGF-MAPK restriction and cardiopharyngeal network deployment with cell divisions defines the timing of gene expression and permits the emergence of diverse cell types from multipotent progenitors.

AbstractDuring early vertebrate heart development, the heart transitions from a linear tube to a complex asymmetric structure. This process includes looping of the tube and ballooning of the emerging cardiac chambers, which occur simultaneously with growth of the heart. A key driver of cardiac growth is deployment of cells from the Second Heart Field (SHF) into both poles of the heart, with cardiac morphogenesis and growth intimately linked in heart development. Laminin is a core component of extracellular matrix (ECM) basement membranes, and although mutations in specific laminin subunits are linked with a variety of cardiac abnormalities, including congenital heart disease and dilated cardiomyopathy, no role for laminin has been identified in early vertebrate heart morphogenesis. We identified dynamic, tissue-specific expression of laminin subunit genes in the developing zebrafish heart, supporting a role for laminins in heart morphogenesis.lamb1amutants exhibit cardiomegaly from 2dpf onwards, with subsequent progressive defects in cardiac morphogenesis characterised by a failure of the chambers to compact around the developing atrioventricular canal. We show that loss oflamb1aresults in excess addition of SHF cells to the atrium, revealing that Lamb1a functions to limit heart size during cardiac development by restricting SHF addition to the venous pole.lamb1amutants exhibit hallmarks of altered haemodynamics, and specifically blocking cardiac contractility inlamb1amutants rescues heart size and atrial SHF addition. Furthermore, we identify that FGF and RA signalling, two conserved pathways promoting SHF addition, are regulated by heart contractility and are dysregulated inlamb1amutants, suggesting that laminin mediates interactions between SHF deployment, heart biomechanics, and biochemical signalling during heart development. Together, this describes the first requirement for laminins in early vertebrate heart morphogenesis, reinforcing the importance of specialised ECM composition in cardiac development.
