Myocardial infarction (MI) elicits a rapid and vigorous reaction from the bone marrow hematopoietic compartment, inducing a massive efflux of myeloid first responders into the bloodstream. These cells traffic to the infarct, where they mediate cardiac remodeling and repair through inflammatory signaling and recruitment of additional immune cells to the injured myocardium. A hyperinflammatory myeloid compartment, as is produced by mutations in epigenetic regulator TET2 associated with clonal hematopoiesis, can thus drive adverse cardiac remodeling after MI and accelerate progression to heart failure. Whether loss of TET2 alters the transcriptional landscape of MI-induced myelopoiesis remains to be investigated in an unbiased fashion. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of >16,000 bone marrow myeloid cells isolated from wild-type and Tet2 -/- mice after MI to characterize the emergency hematopoietic response in the presence and absence of TET2. Our data capture distinct transitional states of myeloid lineage commitment and maturation, originating from myeloid progenitors and progressing along divergent granulocytic and monocytic differentiation trajectories. Additionally, we delineate a subpopulation of interferon (IFN)-activated myeloid progenitors, monocytes, and neutrophils characterized by the concerted upregulation of various Type I IFN-stimulated genes, and find the fraction of IFN-activated cells, as well as the degree of activation, to be markedly higher in Tet2 -/- mice. We have previously described activation of this pathway after MI in mice, and demonstrated cardioprotective effects of its genetic or pharmacological inhibition. Our findings reveal heightened activation of the antiviral Type I interferon response among bone marrow myeloid cells of Tet2 -/- mice during MI-induced emergency hematopoiesis. This highlights IFN signaling as a potential candidate driver of cardiovascular pathologies (including atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and heart failure) associated with TET2-mediated clonal hematopoiesis. Further studies are necessary to investigate whether Tet2 -/- mice exhibit enhanced response to blockade of Type I IFN signaling after MI, and to determine whether myeloid cells of TET2 -mutant humans are similarly activated.
