Peptides 2024; 178:171245. [PMID: 38801993 DOI: 10.1016/j.peptides.2024.171245] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (DOX) is a highly effective and widely used cytotoxic agent with application for various malignancies, but it's clinically limited due to its cardiotoxicity Oxidative stress and inflammation were reported to take part in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Tirzepatide, a dual glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist has been approved to treat type 2 diabetes. However, its role in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and the underlying mechanisms has not been explored. METHODS The cardioprotective properties of Tirzepatide against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity are examined in this work both in vivo and in vitro. For four weeks, an intraperitoneal injection of 4 mg/kg DOX was used to cause cardiotoxicity in C57BL/6 mice. To ascertain the cardioprotective function and underlying mechanisms of Tirzepatide against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, mice and H9c2 cells were treated with and without Tirzepatide. RESULTS Tirzepatide treatment significantly inhibited DOX-induced oxidative stress, inflammation and cardiac injury. Mechanistically, PI3K/Akt signaling pathway contributes to the protective effect of Tirzepatide against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and inhibited PI3K/Akt signaling pathway with LY294002 almost blocked its therapeutic effect. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, Tirzepatide could alleviate DOX-induced oxidative stress, inflammation and cardiac injury via activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and Tirzepatide may be a novel therapeutic target for DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
PURPOSE Grb2 associated binding protein 1 (Gab1) is an adaptor protein that is important for intracellular signal transduction which involved in several pathological process. However, the role of Gab1 in pressure overload-induced ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) remain poorly understood. In the current study, we aimed to test the role of Gab1 in VA susceptibility induced by pressure overload. METHODS We overexpressed Gab1 in the hearts using an adeno-associated virus 9 (AAV9) system through tail vein injection. Aortic banding (AB) surgery was performed in C57BL6/J mice to induce heart failure (HF). Four weeks following AB, histology, echocardiography, and biochemical analysis were conducted to investigate cardiac structural remodeling and electrophysiological studies were performed to check the electrical remodeling. Western blot analysis was used to explore the underlying mechanisms. RESULTS The mRNA and protein expression were downregulated in AB hearts compared to sham hearts. Gab1 overexpression significantly reversed AB-induced cardiac structural remodeling including ameliorated AB-induced cardiac dysfunction, cardiac fibrosis, and inflammatory response. Moreover, Gab1 overexpression also markedly alleviated AB-induced electrical remodeling including ion channel alterations and VA susceptibility. Mechanistically, we found that TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB contributes to the cardio protective effect of Gab1 overexpression on AB-induced VAs. CONCLUSIONS Our study manifested that Gab1 may serve as a promising anti-arrhythmic target via inhibiting TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway induced by AB.

[PMID: 37903290 DOI: 10.1042/cs20230728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The inflammatory response and subsequent ventricular remodeling are key factors contributing to ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) after myocardial infarction (MI). Ubiquitin-specific protease 38 (USP38) is a member of the USP family, but the impact of USP38 in arrhythmia substrate generation after MI remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the role of USP38 in post-MI VAs and its underlying mechanisms. METHODS AND RESULTS Surgical left descending coronary artery ligation was used to construct MI models. Morphological, biochemical, histological, and electrophysiological studies and molecular analyses were performed after MI on days 3 and 28. We found that the USP38 expression was remarkably increased after MI. Cardiac-conditional USP38 knockout (USP38-CKO) reduces the expression of the inflammatory marker CD68 as well as the inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β after MI, thereby alleviating advanced cardiac fibrosis, electrical remodeling, ion channel remodeling, and susceptibility to VAs. In contrast, cardiac-specific USP38 overexpression (USP38-TG) showed a significant opposite effect, exacerbating the early inflammatory response and cardiac remodeling after MI. Mechanistically, USP38 knockout inhibited activation of the TAK1/NF-κB signaling pathway after MI, whereas USP38 overexpression enhanced activation of the TAK1/NF-κB signaling pathway after MI. CONCLUSIONS Our study confirms that USP38-CKO attenuates the inflammatory response, improves ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction, and reduces susceptibility to malignant VA by inhibiting the activation of the TAK1/NF-κB pathway, with USP38-TG playing an opposing role. These results suggest that USP38 may be an important target for the treatment of cardiac remodeling and arrhythmias after MI.

The potential roles of stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 and connexin 43 in rats with reperfusion arrhythmia. Immun Inflamm Dis 2023; 11:e852. [PMID: 37904692 PMCID: PMC10546868 DOI: 10.1002/iid3.852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 11/01/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Connexin 43 (Cx43) is a critical gene for maintaining myocardial homeostasis. Interestingly, Cx43 and stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 (STIP1) were recorded to be lowly expressed in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). However, their impacts on reperfusion arrhythmia (RA) remain to be explored. Our study aimed to find out the related underlying mechanisms. METHODS After the establishment of an isolated heart model through Langendorff perfusion, the heart rate, conduction activation time, conduction velocity, and conduction direction of the left ventricle were evaluated, along with the apoptotic rate detection in the collected myocardial tissues. After the construction of a hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cellular model, cell apoptosis, intercellular communication, cell viability, and the content of reactive oxygen species, superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, and lactic dehydrogenase were measured. The expression of Cx43 and STIP1 was determined in both rat heart and cell models. The bindings of STIP3 and Cx43 to heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) were verified. RESULTS Relative to the corresponding controls, Cx43 and STIP1 were decreased in myocardial tissues of RA rats and H/R-stimulated H9C2 cells, where Cx43-binding HSP70 and HSP90 were respectively increased and decreased, and ubiquitination level of Cx43 was enhanced. STIP1 overexpression promoted protein expression of Cx43, intercellular communication, and cell viability, and reduced cell apoptosis and oxidative stress in H/R-stimulated H9C2 cells. CONCLUSION STIP1 promoted Cx43 expression to improve intercellular communication and reduce oxidative stress in H/R-stimulated H9C2 cells.

Abstract
Histone modifications play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, a genome-wide map of histone modifications and the underlying epigenetic signatures in myocardial I/R injury have not been established. Here, we integrated transcriptome and epigenome of histone modifications to characterize epigenetic signatures after I/R injury. Disease-specific histone mark alterations were mainly found in H3K27me3-, H3K27ac-, and H3K4me1-marked regions 24 and 48 h after I/R. Genes differentially modified by H3K27ac, H3K4me1 and H3K27me3 were involved in immune response, heart conduction or contraction, cytoskeleton, and angiogenesis. H3K27me3 and its methyltransferase polycomb repressor complex 2 (PRC2) were upregulated in myocardial tissues after I/R. Upon selective inhibition of EZH2 (the catalytic core of PRC2), the mice manifest improved cardiac function, enhanced angiogenesis, and reduced fibrosis. Further investigations confirmed that EZH2 inhibition regulated H3K27me3 modification of multiple pro-angiogenic genes and ultimately enhanced angiogenic properties in vivo and in vitro. This study delineates a landscape of histone modifications in myocardial I/R injury, and identifies H3K27me3 as a key epigenetic modifier in I/R process. The inhibition of H3K27me3 and its methyltransferase might be a potential strategy for myocardial I/R injury intervention.

Abstract
Mitochondria-mediated apoptosis plays a critical role in myocardial ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury and causes a negative impact on cardiac efficiency and function. The combined angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) is a promising cardioprotective pharmacological agent that could rescue the heart from IR injury. This study investigated the cardioprotective effect of thiorphan (TH) in combination with three different doses of irbesartan (IRB) on myocardial IR injury and detected the most effective dose combination. Male Wistar rats were used and divided into five groups (10 rats/group): (I) Sham, (II) ischemia-reperfusion I/R, (III) TH/IRB + IR (0.1/5 mg/kg), (IV) TH/IRB + IR (0.1/10 mg/kg), and (V) TH/IRB + IR (0.1/15 mg/kg) groups. Thiorphan and irbesartan were injected intraperitoneally 15 min before IR induction. Mean arterial blood pressure, left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP), left ventricular maximum rate of pressure (LVdp/dtmax ), and cardiac levels of creatine kinase-MB, malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, and endothelin-1 were measured. Cardiac mitochondria complexes activities, histopathological examination of myocardial tissues, immunohistochemistry studies for myocardial apoptosis (Bax and Bcl-2), and electron microscopy examination of left ventricle were performed. TH/IRB combination preserved cardiac functions and mitochondria complex activities and mitigated cardiac damage, oxidative stress, and apoptosis following IR. Also, there was an evident improvement in histopathological changes and electron microscopy examination of left ventricle compared with I/R group. TH/IRB in a dose of 0.1/10 mg/kg showed significant improvement compared with the other treated groups. Thiorphan/irbesartan improved cardiac functions following IR injury. This could be explained by the reported improvement of mitochondria complex activities and reduction of oxidative stress, endothelin-1, and apoptosis.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide and a significant global burden. Many lines of evidence suggest complex remodeling responses to cardiovascular disease, such as myocardial ischemia, hypertension and valve disease, which lead to poor clinical outcomes, including heart failure, arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death (SCD). The mechanisms underlying cardiac remodeling are closely related to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation. Myeloid differentiation protein 1 (MD1) is a secreted glycoprotein known as lymphocyte antigen 86. The complex of MD1 and radioprotective 105 (RP105) is an important regulator of inflammation and is involved in the modulation of vascular remodeling and atherosclerotic plaque development. A recent study suggested that the expression of MD1 in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients is decreased compared with that in donor hearts. Therefore, MD1 may play an important role in the pathological processes of cardiovascular disease and have potential clinical value. Here, this review aims to discuss the current knowledge regarding the role of MD1 in the regulation of cardiac pathophysiology.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Grb2-associated binding protein 1 (Gab1), an intracellular scaffolding adaptor, was involved in several cardiovascular diseases. However, the role of Gab1 in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity remains largely unknown. The present study investigated whether Gab1 protected against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and the underlying mechanism. We overexpressed Gab1 in the hearts using an adeno-associated virus 9 system through tail vein injection. C57BL/6 mice were subjected to DOX (15 mg/kg/d, i.p.) to generate DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Echocardiography, histological analysis, immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits, Western blotting, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) evaluated DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and the underlying mechanisms. Myocardial Gab1 protein and messenger RNA (mRNA) levels were markedly decreased in DOX-administered mice. Overexpression of Gab1 in myocardium significantly improved cardiac function and attenuated cardiac oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis induced by DOX. Mechanistically, we found that PI3K/Akt signaling pathway was downregulated after DOX treatment, and Gab1 overexpression activated PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, whereas PI3K/Akt signaling pathway inhibition abolished the beneficial effect of Gab1 overexpression in the heart. Collectively, our results indicated that Gab1 is essential for cardioprotection against DOX-induced oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis by mediating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. And cardiac gene therapy with Gab1 provides a novel therapeutic strategy against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Activation of TLR4 by its cognate damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) elicits potent profibrotic effects and myofibroblast activation in systemic sclerosis (SSc), while genetic targeting of TLR4 or its DAMPs in mice accelerates fibrosis resolution. To prevent aberrant DAMP/TLR4 activity, a variety of negative regulators evolved to dampen the magnitude and duration of the signaling. These include radioprotective 105 kDa (RP105), a transmembrane TLR4 homolog that competitively inhibits DAMP recognition of TLR4, blocking TLR4 signaling in immune cells. The role of RP105 in TLR4-dependent fibrotic responses in SSc is unknown. Using unbiased transcriptome analysis of skin biopsies, we found that levels of both TLR4 and its adaptor protein MD2 were elevated in SSc skin and significantly correlated with each other. Expression of RP105 was negatively associated with myofibroblast differentiation in SSc. Importantly, RP105-TLR4 association was reduced, whereas TLR4-TLR4 showed strong association in fibroblasts from patients with SSc, as evidenced by PLA assays. Moreover, RP105 adaptor MD1 expression was significantly reduced in SSc skin biopsies and explanted SSc skin fibroblasts. Exogenous RP105-MD1 abrogated, while loss of RP105 exaggerated, fibrotic cellular responses. Importantly, ablation of RP105 in mice was associated with augmented TLR4 signaling and aggravated skin fibrosis in complementary disease models. Thus, we believe RP105-MD1 to be a novel cell-intrinsic negative regulator of TLR4-MD2-driven sustained fibroblast activation, representing a critical regulatory network governing the fibrotic process. Impaired RP105 function in SSc might contribute to persistence of progression of the disease.

Abstract
Activation of Toll like receptors (TLR) plays an important role in cardiovascular disease development, progression and outcomes. Complex TLR mediated signaling affects vascular and cardiac function including tissue remodeling and repair. Being central components of both innate and adaptive arms of the immune system, TLRs interact as pattern recognition receptors with a series of exogenous ligands and endogenous molecules or so-called danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that are released upon tissue injury and cellular stress. Besides immune cells, a number of structural cells within the cardiovascular system, including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts and cardiac myocytes express TLRs and are able to release or sense DAMPs. Local activation of TLR-mediated signaling cascade induces cardiovascular tissue repair but in a presence of constant stimuli can overshoot and cause chronic inflammation and tissue damage. TLR accessory molecules are essential in guiding and dampening these responses toward an adequate reaction. Furthermore, accessory molecules assure specific and exclusive TLR-mediated signal transduction for distinct cells and pathways involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Although much has been learned about TLRs activation in cardiovascular remodeling, the exact role of TLR accessory molecules is not entirely understood. Deeper understanding of the role of TLR accessory molecules in cardiovascular system may open therapeutic avenues aiming at manipulation of inflammatory response in cardiovascular disease. The present review outlines accessory molecules for membrane TLRs that are involved in cardiovascular disease progression. We first summarize the up-to-date knowledge on TLR signaling focusing on membrane TLRs and their ligands that play a key role in cardiovascular system. We then survey the current evidence of the contribution of TLRs accessory molecules in vascular and cardiac remodeling including myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, atherosclerosis, vein graft disease and arterio-venous fistula failure.

Abstract
Monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) has been reported to cause right heart failure (RHF). Moreover, Right heart diseases have been determined to cause ventricular arrhythmia (VA). So we can conclude that MCT-induced PAH increases the incidence of VA. In addition, Previous studies have determined the benefits of Dapagliflozin (DA) on the cardiac system, but the responses of MCT-induced RHF to DA are not fully reported. So the present study sought to evaluate the effects of DA on the MCT-induced PAH. A dose intraperitoneal injection of MCT (60 mg/kg) was carried out to induce a rat model with PAH. DA (60 mg/l) was administered for 4 weeks following MCT injection. Echocardiography, body weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, electrophysiological study, and Western blot were performed. Four weeks after the MCT injection, MCT-treated rats decreased body weight, blood glucose and blood pressure. In addition, MCT caused the formation of PAH and RHF. Moreover, MCT-induced PAH rats increased the incidence of VA, prolonged action potential duration (APD), and shortened effective refractory period (ERP). Additionally, PAH rats significantly prevented the activated expressions of Ion channel proteins such as potassium channel (Kv1.5, Kv2.1, Kv4.2, Kv4.3) and L-type Ca channel (Cav1.2). As we expected, these changes above in PAH rats were reversed when DA was administered. Mechanistically, DA significantly reduced the levels of toll-like receptor (TLR4), the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in MCT-treated rats. In conclusion, these findings determine that DA reduces the vulnerability of VA in PAH rats through the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Naringin (NRG) has been reported to exert cardioprotective effects against multiple cardiovascular diseases, including lipopolysaccharide-induced and hyperglycemia-induced myocardial injury. However, the role of NRG in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains unclear. In the present study, the PI3K/Akt pathway was investigated to evaluate the possible mechanisms underlying the roles of NRG in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The levels of cardiac enzymes were measured by ELISA to evaluate the optimal dosage of NRG that could protect against myocardial I/R injury. Rats were administered 100 mg/kg of NRG and activities of myocardial enzymes, the level of cardiac apoptosis and inflammation, oxidant response, autophagy indicators and echocardiography were evaluated. The level of corresponding proteins was measured using western blotting. The results indicated that NRG elicited the best cardioprotective effects at a dose of 100 mg/kg by significantly reducing the levels of myocardial enzymes, apoptosis, inflammation, oxidative response and infarct size. Furthermore, NRG alleviated contractile dysfunction by increasing the left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening. In addition, NRG markedly promoted the phosphorylation of Akt, while decreasing the level of autophagy indicator beclin-1 and the microtubule-associated protein 1B-light chain 3 (LC3B) II/ LC3BI ratio. However, PI3K/Akt inhibitor (LY294002) partially reduced the NRG induced phosphorylation of Akt and the reduction in beclin-1, along with the LC3BII/LC3BI ratio. The results of the present study demonstrated that NRG could attenuate myocardial I/R injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Daphnetin (7,8-dihydroxycoumarin, DAP) exhibits various bioactivities, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, the role of DAP in myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and I/R-related arrhythmia is still uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying the effects of DAP on myocardial I/R injury and electrophysiological properties in vivo and in vitro. METHODS Myocardial infarct size was measured by triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Cardiac function was assessed by echocardiographic and haemodynamic analyses. The levels of creatine kinase-MB, lactate dehydrogenase, malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were detected using commercial kits. Apoptosis was measured by terminal deoxynucleotidyl-transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labelling staining and flow cytometry. The viability of H9c2 cells was determined by the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. In vitro, the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were measured by quantitative PCR. The expression levels of proteins associated with apoptosis, inflammation, and the Toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor 88/nuclear factor kappa B (TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB) signalling pathway were detected by Western blot analysis. The RR, PR, QRS, and QTc intervals were assessed by surface ECG. The 90% action potential duration (APD90), threshold of APD alternans, and ventricular tachycardia inducibility were measured by the Langendorff perfusion technique. RESULTS DAP preconditioning decreased myocardial I/R injury and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in cells. DAP preconditioning improved cardiac function after myocardial I/R injury. DAP preconditioning also suppressed apoptosis, attenuated oxidative stress, and inhibited inflammatory responses in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, DAP preconditioning decreased the susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmia after myocardial I/R. Finally, DAP preconditioning inhibited the expression of TLR4, MyD88, and phosphorylated NF-κB (p-NF-κB)/P65 in mice subjected to I/R and cells subjected to H/R. CONCLUSIONS DAP preconditioning protected against myocardial I/R injury and decreased susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmia by inhibiting the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signalling pathway.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are characterized by persistent accumulation of proinflammatory monocytes (Mo)/macrophages (MΦ) and impaired healing. However, the mechanisms underlying the persistent accumulation of Mo/MΦ remain poorly understood. In this study, we report that Ly6C+F4/80lo/- Mo/MΦ proliferate at higher rates in wounds of diabetic mice compared with nondiabetic mice, leading to greater accumulation of these cells. Unbiased single cell RNA sequencing analysis of combined nondiabetic and diabetic wound Mo/MΦ revealed a cluster, populated primarily by cells from diabetic wounds, for which genes associated with the cell cycle were enriched. In a screen of potential regulators, CCL2 levels were increased in wounds of diabetic mice, and subsequent experiments showed that local CCL2 treatment increased Ly6C+F4/80lo/- Mo/MΦ proliferation. Importantly, adoptive transfer of mixtures of CCR2-/- and CCR2+/+ Ly6Chi Mo indicated that CCL2/CCR2 signaling is required for their proliferation in the wound environment. Together, these data demonstrate a novel role for the CCL2/CCR2 signaling pathway in promoting skin Mo/MΦ proliferation, contributing to persistent accumulation of Mo/MΦ and impaired healing in diabetic mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myeloid differentiation protein 1 (MD1) is expressed in the human heart and is a negative regulator of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signalling. MD1 exerts anti-arrhythmic effects. AIM The aim of this study was to determine the role of MD1 in myocardial infarction (MI)-related ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). METHOD Myocardial infarction was induced by surgical ligation of the left anterior coronary artery in MD1 knockout (KO) mice and their wild-type littermates. Myocardial infarction-induced vulnerability to VAs and its underlying mechanisms were evaluated. RESULTS Myeloid differentiation protein 1 was downregulated in the MI mice. Myeloid differentiation protein 1 deficiency decreased post-MI left ventricular (LV) function and increased the infarct size. The MI mice exhibited prolonged action potential duration (APD), enhanced APD alternans thresholds, and a higher incidence of VAs. Myocardial infarction-induced LV fibrosis and inflammation decreased the expression levels of Kv4.2, Kv4.3, Kv1.5, and Kv2.1, increased Cav1.2 expression, and disturbed Ca2+ handling protein expression. These MI-induced adverse effects were further exacerbated in KO mice. Mechanistically, MD1 deletion markedly enhanced the activation of the TLR4/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) signalling pathway in post-MI mice. CONCLUSIONS Myeloid differentiation protein 1 deletion increases the vulnerability to VAs in post-MI mice. This is mainly caused by the aggravated maladaptive LV fibrosis and inflammation and interference with the expressions of ion channels and Ca2+ handling proteins, which is related to enhanced activation of the TLR4/CaMKII signalling pathway.

Abstract
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a key pattern recognition receptor, initiates the innate immune response and leads to chronic and acute inflammation. In the past decades, accumulating evidence has implicated TLR4-mediated inflammatory response in regulation of myocardium hypertrophic remodeling, indicating that regulation of the TLR4 signaling pathway may be an effective strategy for managing cardiac hypertrophy's pathophysiology. Given TLR4's significance, it is imperative to review the molecular mechanisms and roles underlying TLR4 signaling in cardiac hypertrophy. Here, we comprehensively review the current knowledge of TLR4-mediated inflammatory response and its interaction ligands and co-receptors, as well as activation of various intracellular signaling. We also describe the associated roles in promoting immune cell infiltration and inflammatory mediator secretion, that ultimately cause cardiac hypertrophy. Finally, we provide examples of some of the most promising drugs and new technologies that have the potential to attenuate TLR4-mediated inflammatory response and prevent or reverse the ominous cardiac hypertrophy outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect of melatonin against myocardial ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury in isolated rat hearts and explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS The isolated hearts from 40 male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10): the control group, where the hearts were perfused with KH solution for 175 min; IR group, where the hearts were subjected to global ischemia for 45 min followed by reperfusion for 120 min; IR+melatonin (Mel+IR) group, where melatonin (5 μmol/L) was administered to the hearts 1 min before ischemia and during the first 5 min of reperfusion, followed by 115 min of reperfusion; and IR+2, 3-butanedione monoxime (IR+BDM) group, where the hearts were treated with BDM (20 mmol/L) in the same manner as melatonin treatment. Myocardial injury in the isolated hearts was assessed based on myocardial injury area, caspase-3 activity, and expressions of cytochrome C and cleaved caspase-3 proteins. Cardiac contracture was assessed using HE staining and by detecting lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and the content of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in the coronary outflow, measurement of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and electron microscopy. The content of ATP in the cardiac tissue was also determined. RESULTS Compared with those in the control group, the isolated hearts in IR group showed significantly larger myocardial injury area and higher caspase-3 activity and the protein expressions of cytochrome C and cleaved caspase-3 with significantly increased LDH activity and cTnI content in the coronary outflow and elevated LVEDP at the end of reperfusion; HE staining showed obvious fractures of the myocardial fibers and the content of ATP was significantly decreased in the cardiac tissue; electron microscopy revealed the development of contraction bands. In the isolated hearts with IR, treatment with Mel or BDM significantly reduced the myocardial injury area, caspase-3 activity, and protein expressions of cytochrome C and cleaved caspase-3, obviously inhibited LDH activity, lowered the content of cTnI and LVEDP, reduced myocardial fiber fracture, and increased ATP content in the cardiac tissue. Both Mel and BDM inhibited the formation of contraction bands in the isolated hearts with IR injury. CONCLUSIONS Mel can alleviate myocardial IR injury in isolated rat hearts by inhibiting cardiac contracture, the mechanism of which may involve the upregulation of ATP in the cardiac myocytes to lessen the tear of membrane and reduce cell content leakage.

Abstract
In this study, the regulation of miR-15b-5p on myocardial ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury-induced arrhythmia and myocardial apoptosis was investigated in mice. We observed the change in miR-15b-5p expression after mice suffered from myocardial I/R injury and the change in myocardial injury, infarct size, apoptosis, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) after down-regulation of miR-15b-5p expression. The negative regulation of miR-15b-5p to KCNJ2 as well as whether cardioprotective effect formed by miR-15b-5p down-regulation relied on the increase of KNCJ2 expression were measured by dual-luciferase reporter assay system. miR-15b-5p expression increased and KCNJ2 mRNA and protein expressions decreased after myocardial ischemia reperfusion (all P < 0.05). miR-15b-5p negatively regulated KCNJ2 in a targeted way. Down-regulating miR-15b-5p expression or increasing KCNJ2 expression significantly decreased the incidence of arrhythmia, infarct size and apoptosis after myocardial I/R and lowered MDA content in the myocardial tissue as well as IL-6 and TNF-α content in the blood (all P < 0.05). KCNJ2 gene knockout reversed the above cardioprotective effect formed by miR-15b-5p down-regulation (P < 0.05). Down-regulating miR-15b-5p expression or up-regulating KCNJ2 expression improves arrhythmia after mice suffered from myocardial I/R injury and inhibits myocardial apoptosis.

Abstract
Shensong Yangxin (SSYX) is a traditional Chinese medicine, which has been proven to improve the clinical symptoms of arrhythmia. However, the role of SSYX in metabolic syndrome (MetS)-induced electrical remodeling remains to be fully elucidated. Here, we sought to clarify whether SSYX can alter the electrophysiological remodeling of cardiac myocytes from MetS rats by regulating transient outward potassium current (Ito) and calcium current (ICa-L). Male Wistar rats were subjected to 16 weeks of high-carbohydrate, high-fat to produce a MetS model group. SSYX (0.4 g/kg) was administrated by daily gavage 8 weeks following high-carbohydrate, high-fat for 8 weeks. In vivo electrophysiological study was performed to evaluated ventricular arrhythmias (VA) vulnerability and electrophysiological properties. The potential electrical mechanisms were estimated by whole-cell patch-clamp and molecular analysis. The H9C2 cells were used to verify the protective role of SSYX in vitro. After 16-week high-carbohydrate, high-fat feeding, MetS model rats showed increased body weight (BW), blood pressure (BP), blood sugar (BS), heart rate (HR) and heart weights to tibia length (HW/TL) ratio. Furthermore, MetS rats depicted increased VA inducibility, shortened effective refractory period (ERP) and prolonged action potential duration (APD). Lower ICa-L and Ito current densities were observed in MetS rats than CTL rats. Additionally, MetS rats exhibited significantly increased cardiac fibrosis, decreased Cx43 expression and protein levels of Cav1.2, Kv4.2, Kv4.3 than CTL group. As expected, these MetS-induced effects above were reversed when SSYX was administrated. Mechanistically, SSYX administrated significantly down-regulated the TLR4/MyD88/CaMKII signaling pathway both in vivo and in vitro. Collectively, our data indicated that the electrical remodeling induced by MetS contributed to the increased VA susceptibility. SSYX protects against MetS-induced VA by inhibiting electrical remodeling through TLR4/MyD88/CaMKII signaling pathway.

Knockout of MD1 contributes to sympathetic hyperactivity and exacerbates ventricular arrhythmias following heart failure with preserved ejection fraction via NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Exp Physiol 2020; 105:966-978. [PMID: 32240565 DOI: 10.1113/ep088390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2019] [Accepted: 03/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? In this study, we investigated whether MD1 interacted with the sympathetic nerves in ventricular arrhythmia (VA) during heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). What is the main finding and its importance? Mice with HFpEF showed increased susceptibility to VA, adverse electrical remodelling, impaired heart rate variability, enhanced sympathetic hyperactivity, activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and increased interleukin-1β release. These changes induced by HFpEF were exacerbated by MD1 deficiency. ABSTRACT Sympathetic hyperactivity can promote malignant ventricular arrhythmia (VA), and myeloid differentiation 1 (MD1) has been reported to play an important role in obesity-induced VA. However, it is not known whether an interaction of MD1 with sympathetic hyperactivity contributes to the VA induced by heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The aim of this study was to investigate the potential interaction between MD1 and sympathetic hyperactivity in HFpEF-induced VA and the underlying mechanism. Eight-week-old MD1-knockout (MD1-KO) and wild-type (WT) mice were subjected to a model of HFpEF induced by uninephrectomy, a continuous saline or d-aldosterone infusion and provision of drinking water containing 1.0% sodium chloride for 4 weeks. Echocardiography and haemodynamics were used to verify the model of HFpEF. An isolated electrophysiological study was performed to assess the susceptibility to VA. Four weeks later, the mice with HFpEF showed an increased heart weight to tibia length ratio, decreased left ventricular minimum rates of pressure rise (dP/dtmin ), increased τ, lung weight to tibia length ratio and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction compared with WT mice. The mice with HFpEF exhibited increased susceptibility to VA, as shown by the shortened effective refractory period, prolonged action potential duration (APD), increased APD alternans threshold and higher incidence of VA. Moreover, we also found that mice with HFpEF showed impaired heart rate variability, sympathetic hyperactivity, activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and increased interleukin-1β release. These changes induced by HFpEF were exacerbated by MD1 deficiency. We conclude that MD1-KO contributes to sympathetic hyperactivity and facilitates VA in HFpEF via activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Treatment targeting MD1 and NLRP3 might decrease the risk of HFpEF-induced VA.

Abstract
Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is closely related to cardiovascular diseases, particularly heart failure (HF). Recent studies shows that 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol (DMB) can reduce plasma TMAO levels. However, the role of DMB in overload-induced HF is not well understood. In this research study, we explored the effects and the underlying mechanisms of DMB in overload-induced HF. Aortic banding (AB) surgery was performed in C57BL6/J mice to induce HF, and a subset group of mice underwent a sham operation. After surgery, the mice were fed with a normal diet and given water supplemented with or without 1% DMB for 6 weeks. Cardiac function, plasma TMAO level, cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, expression of inflammatory, electrophysiological studies and signaling pathway were analyzed at the sixth week after AB surgery. DMB reduced TMAO levels in overload-induced HF mice. Adverse cardiac structural remodeling, such as cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis and inflammation, was elevated in overload-induced HF mice. Susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmia also significantly increased in overload-induced HF mice. However, these changes were prevented by DMB treatment. DMB attenuated all of these changes by reducing plasma TMAO levels, hence negatively inhibiting the p65 NF-κB signaling pathway and TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway. DMB plays an important role in attenuating the development of cardiac structural remodeling and electrical remodeling in overload-induced HF mice. This may be attributed to the p65 NF-κB signaling pathway and TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway inhibition.

Abstract
Myeloid differentiation protein 1 (MD1) is exerted an anti-arrhythmic effect in obese mice. Therefore, we sought to clarify whether MD1 can alter the electrophysiological remodeling of cardiac myocytes from obese mice by regulating voltage-gated potassium current and calcium current. MD1 knock-out (KO) and wild type (WT) mice were given a high-fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks, starting at the age of 6 weeks. The potential electrophysiological mechanisms were estimated by whole-cell patch-clamp and molecular analysis. After 20-week HFD feeding, action potential duration (APD) from left ventricular myocytes of MD1-KO mice revealed APD20, APD50, and APD90 were profoundly enlarged. Furthermore, HFD mice showed a decrease in the fast transient outward potassium currents (Ito,f), slowly inactivating potassium current (IK, slow), and inward rectifier potassium current (IK1). Besides, HFD-fed mice showed that the current density of ICaL was significantly lower, and the haft inactivation voltage was markedly shifted right. These HFD induced above adverse effects were further exacerbated in KO mice. The mRNA expression of potassium ion channels (Kv4.2, Kv4.3, Kv2.1, Kv1.5, and Kir2.1) and calcium ion channel (Cav1.2) was markedly decreased in MD1-KO HFD-fed mice. MD1 deletion led to down-regulated potassium currents and slowed inactivation of L-type calcium channel in an obese mice model.

Abstract
Background Myocardial apoptosis and inflammation play important roles in doxorubicin (DOX)-caused cardiotoxicity. Our prior studies have characterized the effects of myeloid differentiation protein 1(MD-1) in pathological cardiac remodeling and myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, but its participations and potential molecular mechanisms in DOX-caused cardiotoxicity remain unknown. Material/Methods In the present study, MD-1 knockout mice were generated, and a single intraperitoneal injection of DOX (15 mg/kg) was performed to elicit DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Cardiac function, histological change, mitochondrial structure, myocardial death, apoptosis, inflammation, and molecular alterations were measured systemically. Results The results showed that the protein and mRNA levels of MD-1 were dramatically downregulated in DOX-treated cardiomyocytes. DOX insult markedly accelerated cardiac dysfunction and injury, followed by enhancements of apoptosis and inflammation, all of which were further aggravated in MD-1 knockout mice. Mechanistically, the TLR4/MAPKs/NF-κB pathways, which were over-activated in MD-1-deficient mice, were significantly increased in DOX-damaged cardiomyocytes. Moreover, the abolishment of TLR4 or NF-κB via a specific inhibitor exerted protective effects against the adverse effects of MD-1 loss on DOX-caused cardiotoxicity. Conclusions Collectively, these findings suggest that MD-1 is a novel target for the treatment of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Oridonin is a diterpenoid isolated from Rabdosia rubescens (Hemsl.) Hara, a well-known herbal tea in China with many health benefits. To provide a better understanding of the potential cardioprotective effect of Oridonin, we investigated the metabolic alterations in heart tissue and serum of rat subjected to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury with or without pretreatment of Oridonin by UPLC-MS/MS metabolomics approach. Rats were randomly divided into groups as follows: Control, Sham, MI/R and pretreated with Oridonin (10 mg/kg)+MI/R. After 24 h of reperfusion, heart tissue and serum were collected for biochemical and metabolomic analysis. Pretreatment with Oridonin significantly decreased infarct size and reversed the abnormal elevated myocardial zymogram in serum. Moreover, Oridonin regulated several metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, branched chain amino acid, kynurenine, arginine, glutamine and bile acid metabolism. Our results suggest that Oridonin indeed displays outstanding cardioprotective effect mainly by regulating energy and amino acid metabolism.

Abstract
Myeloid differentiation 1 (MD‐1) is a secreted protein that regulates the immune response of B cell through interacting with radioprotective 105 (RP105). Disrupted immune response may contribute to the development of cardiac diseases, while the roles of MD‐1 remain elusive. Our studies aimed to explore the functions and molecular mechanisms of MD‐1 in obesity‐induced cardiomyopathy. H9C2 myocardial cells were treated with free fatty acid (FFA) containing palmitic acid and oleic acid to challenge high‐fat stimulation and adenoviruses harbouring human MD‐1 coding sequences or shRNA for MD‐1 overexpression or knockdown in vitro. MD‐1 overexpression or knockdown transgenic mice were generated to assess the effects of MD‐1 on high‐fat diet (HD) induced cardiomyopathy in vivo. Our results showed that MD‐1 was down‐regulated in H9C2 cells exposed to FFA stimulation for 48 hours and in obesity mice induced by HD for 20 weeks. Both in vivo and in vitro, silencing of MD‐1 accelerated myocardial function injury induced by HD stimulation through increased cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, while overexpression of MD‐1 alleviated the effects of HD by inhibiting the process of cardiac remodelling. Moreover, the MAPK and NF‐κB pathways were overactivated in MD‐1 deficient mice and H9C2 cells after high‐fat treatment. Inhibition of MAPK and NF‐κB pathways played a cardioprotective role against the adverse effects of MD‐1 silencing on high‐fat stimulation induced pathological remodelling. In conclusion, MD‐1 protected myocardial function against high‐fat stimulation induced cardiac pathological remodelling through negative regulation for MAPK/NF‐κB signalling pathways, providing feasible strategies for obesity cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Myeloid differentiation 1 (MD-1), also known as lymphocyte antigen 86 (Ly86), is a soluble protein homologous to MD-2 and forms a complex with radioprotective 105 (RP105). RP105/MD-1 complex negatively regulates toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling and is involved in several immune disorders. However, the precise role of MD-1 in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) remains poorly understood. To further investigate the involvement of MD-1 in IBD, we inhibited MD-1 in colon with antisense oligonucleotide (AS-ODN) and assessed the effect of MD-1 inhibition on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis. We discovered that MD-1 protein expression was remarkably decreased in both patients with ulcerative colitis and mice with DSS-induced colitis. For the first time, we showed that oral administration of MD-1 AS-ODN to mice significantly suppressed the MD-1 protein levels in colon rather than systemic tissues. Subsequently, we found that MD-1 AS-ODN treated mice were more susceptible to DSS-induced colitis based on loss of body weight, colon length, histological scores, and disease activity index. MD-1 inhibition also significantly enhanced inflammatory cytokines production such as IL-6 and IL-1β in colons. Finally, mice treated with MD-1 AS-ODN exhibited increased messenger RNA levels of TLR4 and MyD88 after DSS exposure and showed enhanced nuclear factor (NF)-κB activation compared with the control. Taken together, specifically suppression of MD-1 in colon tissues with AS-ODN exacerbates DSS-induced experimental colitis in mice, which is possibly related to activation of TLR4/NF-κB signaling.
