Maternal nicotine exposure causes alteration of gene expression and cardiovascular programming. The discovery of nicotine-medicated regulation in cardiogenesis is of major importance for the study of cardiac defects. The present study investigated the effect of nicotine on cardiac gene expression and epigenetic regulation during myocardial differentiation. Persistent nicotine exposure selectively inhibited expression of two cardiac genes, Tbx5 and Gata4, by promoter DNA hypermethylation. The nicotine-induced suppression on cardiac differentiation was restored by general nicotinic acetylcholine receptor inhibition. Consistent results of Tbx5 and Gata4 gene suppression and cardiac function impairment with decreased left ventricular ejection fraction were obtained from in vivo studies in offspring. Our results present a direct repressive effect of nicotine on myocardial differentiation by regulating cardiac gene suppression via promoter DNA hypermethylation, contributing to the etiology of smoking-associated cardiac defects. Nicotine downregulates Tbx5 and Gata4 during in vitro and in vivo cardiogenesis Nicotine causes diminished cardiac differentiation and impaired cardiac function Nicotine causes Tbx5 and Gata4 gene suppression via promoter DNA hypermethylation nAChR antagonist restores nicotine-induced gene suppression and DNA methylation In this article, Yu, Geng, and colleagues reveal a direct repressive effect of nicotine on myocardial differentiation by regulating suppression of two cardiac genes (Gata4 and Tbx5) via promoter DNA hypermethylation, contributing to the etiology of smoking-associated cardiac defects.
