Both excess and reduced RA signaling lead to cardiovascular malformations, particularly affecting the cardiac outflow tract (OFT). The cellular mechanisms underlying the effects of RA signaling during OFT morphogenesis are not fully understood. To address this question, we used transient maternal RA supplementation to rescue the early lethality resulting from inactivation of the murine retinaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (Raldh2) gene. By embryonic day 13.5, Raldh2-/- hearts exhibited OFT septation defects. Although cardiac neural crest cells (cNCC) were present in OFT cushions of Raldh2-/- mutant embryos, we observed that cNCC were ectopically located in the peripheral region of the endocardial cushions, closer to the myocardium rather than immediately subjacent to the endocardium. Mislocated cNCC were aligned in parallel instead of perpendicular arrays to the endocardial surface within the proximal OFT. Supernumerary mesenchyme was generated both in and ex vivo within the cushions by Raldh2-/- mutant endocardium and found in place of the cNCC in a subendocardial, medial position. Although mislocated and misoriented, mutant cNCC resembled wildtype cells in their compaction density and individually elongated shape. Our data show that RA signaling acts on cNCC orientation relative to the septation plane and position within OFT cushions during septation process. Transcriptomic analysis and pathway-specific readout suggest that up-regulation of the Bmp pathway may be responsible for increased endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, leading thereby to displacement of cNCC. E10.5 stage embryonic mouse outflow tracts were microdissected. Four pools of four outflow tracts were established for wildtype (WT) and mutant (Raldh2-/-) embryos derived from dams whose food had been supplemented with all-trans-RA (Sigma) directly mixed into powdered food at 0.1 mg/g food and offered between E7.5 and E8.5. Total RNA was extracted using Macherey-Nagel NucleoSpin® RNA columns without on-column DNase digestion.

ID_REF = VALUE = gProcessedSignal - green channel linearly scaled, normalized processed intensity values 50 ng total RNA input labeled with Cy3 using the Agilent One-color Low Input Quick Amp labeling kit. Labeled and purified cRNA quantities were assessed on a Nanodrop spectrophotometer. Labeled cRNAs were hybridized on a single Agilent 8x60K SurePrint G3 Mouse GE 8x60K microarray for 40 hours at 65°C in an ozone-free environment. Four pooled samples of four microdissected outflow tracts from both conditions (1 and 2 - retinoic acid-rescued embryos of Raldh2 KO or WT genotype respectively) were collected. Total RNA was extracted without DNase treatment using Macherey-Nagel Nucleospin RNA columns. After assessing quality with an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100, samples with an RNA Integrity Number (RIN) over 8.0 were selected for each condition (mutant or wildtype littermates). The slide was then scanned on Agilent DNA scanner G2505C at 3 µm using one color scan setting for 1x44k array slides (Scan Area 61x21.6 mm, Scan resolution 10um, Dye channel is set to Green and Green PMT is set to 100%). Raw data were extracted using Feature Extraction software.
