J Card Fail 2022; 28:1137-1148. [PMID: 35470057 PMCID: PMC10010287 DOI: 10.1016/j.cardfail.2022.03.358] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2021] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We compared health-related quality of life (HRQOL), depressive symptoms, anxiety, and burden in caregivers of older patients with heart failure based on the intended therapy goal of the patient: awaiting heart transplantation (HT) with or without mechanical circulatory support (MCS) or prior to long-term MCS; and we identified factors associated with HRQOL. METHODS Caregivers (n = 281) recruited from 13 HT and MCS programs in the United States completed measures of HRQOL (EQ-5D-3L), depressive symptoms (PHQ-8), anxiety (STAI-state), and burden (Oberst Caregiving Burden Scale). Analyses included ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis tests, χ2 tests, and linear regression. RESULTS The majority of caregivers were female, white spouses with ≤ 2 comorbidities, median [Q1,Q3] age = 62 [57.8, 67.0] years. Caregivers (HT with MCS = 87, HT without MCS = 98, long-term MCS = 96) reported similarly high baseline HRQOL (EQ-5D-3L visual analog scale median score = 90; P = 0.67 for all groups) and low levels of depressive symptoms. STAI-state median scores were higher in the long-term MCS group vs the HT groups with and without MCS, (38 vs 32 vs 31; P < 0.001), respectively. Burden (task: time spent/difficulty) differed significantly among groups. Caregiver factors (number of comorbidities, diabetes and higher anxiety levels) were significantly associated with worse caregiver HRQOL, R2 = 26%. CONCLUSIONS Recognizing caregiver-specific factors, including comorbidities and anxiety, associated with the HRQOL of caregivers of these older patients with advanced HF may guide support strategies.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac stromal cells are the most abundant cell type present in the heart, where they have an important homeostatic function in matrix renewal and electromechanical coupling. We have shown that YAP transcription factor (a component of the Hippo pathway) is important for the proliferation of these cells and, potentially, pathologic cardiac matrix stiffening in heart failure.
Purpose
Given the role of Hippo pathway in cell mechanosensation, we assessed the conditions for activation of the YAP-dependent transcriptional pathway related to geometry/strain sensing using human “cardiosphere”-derived cells.
Methods
Human cardiospheres (C-Sp) and C-Sp-derived cells (CDCs) were obtained from fragments of atrial appendages of patients admitted for AoC bypass. C-Sps and CDCs were cultured using published methods. To analyze cell/nuclear geometry in 2D/3D culture, we employed an adapting thresholding algorithm allowing segmentation of cell membrane/nuclei shape and the relative abundance of nuclear/cytoplasmic fluorescence intensities from z-stacked confocal immunofluorescence images. Inhibitors of signaling cascades converging onto actin cytoskeleton polymerization or of YAP/TEADs interaction were used to assess YAP target genes transcription.
Results
Previous results showed stiffness sensitivity of YAP nuclear translocation process. Namely, CDCs plated onto stiff (E >50kPa) culture plates exhibited high ratios of nuclear/cytoplasmic YAP, as compared to cells plated on substrates with lower stiffness (E ∼ 10kPa). Analogously, cells with a stretched cytoplasm/nuclear shape in the border regions of the 3D organoids exhibited a higher YAP nuclear localization level and expression of fibrotic markers compared with cells with a more round geometry in the center of the spheres. To uncouple the cytoskeleton tensioning-dependent YAP nuclear shuttling, we treated CDCs plated onto stiff substrates with blebbistatin and Y27632. This showed a fully reversible YAP relocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and a reversion of canonical target genes (CYR61, ANKRD1 and CTGF) expression. In parallel, a “softening” process of the nucleus, likely due to release from cytoskeleton traction forces, was observed by confocal imaging along the cellular z-axis. Interestingly, use of Verteporfin, a drug directly interfering with the interaction of YAP/TAZ complex with TEADs DNA binding proteins showed reversion of pro-fibrotic YAP targets independent of high cytoskeleton tensioning.
Conclusions
These results establish, for the first time, a deterministic relationship between pro-pathologic evolution of human adult cardiac stromal cells and activation of mechanosensing-dependent pathways. They also provide quantitative criteria for interpreting fibrotic evolution of the heart based on modifications of myocardial architecture and mechanical compliance, as well as the ability of the cells to generate tension forces affecting the nuclear structure.
