AIMS: The ventricular wall of the heart is composed of trabeculated and compact layers, which are separated by yet unknown processes during embryonic development. Here, we wanted to explore the role of Notch2 and Numb/Numblike for myocardial trabeculation and compaction.Methods and ResultsWe found that Notch2 activity is specifically downregulated in the compact layer during cardiac development of the mouse. The biological role of Notch2 downregulation was investigated by expression of constitutively active Notch2 in the myocardium of transgenic mice resulting in hypertrabeculation, reduced compaction, and ventricular septum defects. To disclose the mechanism that inhibited Notch2 activity during formation of myocardial layers, we analyzed potential suppressors of Notch signaling. We unveiled that concomitant but not separate ablation of Numb and Numblike in the developing heart leads to increased Notch2 activity along with hypertrabeculation, reduced compaction, and ventricular septum defects phenocopying effects gained by overexpression of constitutively active Notch2. Expression profiling revealed a strong upregulation of Bmp10 in Numb/Numblike mutant hearts, which might also interfere with trabeculation and compaction. CONCLUSIONS: This study identified potential novel roles of Numb/Numblike in regulating trabeculation and compaction by inhibiting Notch2 and Bmp10 signaling. |
