[PMID: 39216681 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2024.111370] [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: 07/09/2024] [Revised: 08/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/26/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death worldwide, and reperfusion therapy is a critical therapeutic approach to reduce myocardial ischemic injury and minimize infarct size. However, ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) itself also causes myocardial injury, and inflammation is an essential mechanism by which it leads to myocardial injury, with macrophages as crucial immune cells in this process. Macrophages are innate immune cells that maintain tissue homeostasis, host defence during pathogen infection, and repair during tissue injury. During the acute phase of I/R, M1-type macrophages generate a pro-inflammatory milieu, clear necrotic myocardial tissue, and further recruit mononuclear (CCR2+) macrophages. Over time, the reparative (M2 type) macrophages gradually became dominant. In recent years, metabolic studies have shown a clear correlation between the metabolic profile of macrophages and their phenotype and function. M1-type macrophages are mainly characterized by glycolytic energy supply, and their tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) processes are impaired. In contrast, M2 macrophages rely primarily on OXPHOS for energy. Changing the metabolic profile of macrophages can alter the macrophage phenotype. Altered energy pathways are also present in macrophages during I/R, and intervention in this process contributes to earlier and greater M2 macrophage infiltration, which may be a potential target for the treatment of myocardial I/R injury. Therefore, this paper mainly reviews the characteristics of macrophage energy metabolism alteration and phenotypic transition during I/R and its mechanism of mediating myocardial injury to provide a basis for further research in this field.

Abstract
PURPOSE The emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has revolutionized cancer treatment, but these drugs can also cause severe immune-related adverse effects (irAEs), including myocarditis. Researchers have become interested in exploring ways to mitigate this side effect, and one promising avenue is the use of baricitinib, a Janus kinase inhibitor known to have anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to examine the potential mechanism by which baricitinib in ICIs-related myocarditis. METHODS To establish an ICIs-related myocarditis model, BALB/c mice were administered murine cardiac troponin I (cTnI) peptide and anti-mouse programmed death 1 (PD-1) antibodies. Subsequently, baricitinib was administered to the mice via intragastric administration. Echocardiography, HE staining, and Masson staining were performed to evaluate myocardial functions, inflammation, and fibrosis. Immunofluorescence was used to detect macrophages in the cardiac tissue of the mice.In vitro experiments utilized raw264.7 cells to induce macrophage polarization using anti-PD-1 antibodies. Different concentrations of baricitinib were applied to assess cell viability, and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines was measured. The activation of the JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway was evaluated through western blot analysis. RESULTS Baricitinib demonstrated its ability to improve cardiac function and reduce cardiac inflammation, as well as fibrosis induced by ICIs. Mechanistically, baricitinib treatment promoted the polarization of macrophages towards the M2 phenotype. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that anti-PD-1 promoted the release of inflammatory factors. However, treatment with baricitinib significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of JAK1 and STAT3. Additionally, the use of RO8191 reversed the effects of baricitinib, further confirming our findings. CONCLUSION Baricitinib demonstrated its potential as a protective agent against ICIs-related myocarditis by modulating macrophage polarization. These findings provide a solid theoretical foundation for the development of future treatments for ICIs-related myocarditis.

A simplified herbal decoction attenuates myocardial infarction by regulating macrophage metabolic reprogramming and phenotypic differentiation via modulation of the HIF-1α/PDK1 axis. Chin Med 2024; 19:75. [PMID: 38816815 PMCID: PMC11140944 DOI: 10.1186/s13020-024-00933-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) poses a global public health challenge, often associated with elevated mortality rates and a grim prognosis. A crucial aspect of the inflammatory injury and healing process post-MI involves the dynamic differentiation of macrophages. A promising strategy to alleviate myocardial damage after MI is by modulating the inflammatory response and orchestrating the shift from pro-inflammatory (M1) to anti-inflammatory (M2) macrophages, aiming to achieve a reduced M1/M2 ratio. Nuanxinkang (NXK), a simplified herbal decoction, has demonstrated noteworthy cardioprotective, inflammation-regulating, and myocardial energy metabolism-regulating properties. METHODS In this study, we constructed an MI model by ligating coronary arteries to investigate the efficacy of NXK in improving ventricular remodeling and cardiac function. Mice were administered NXK (1.65 g/kg/d) or an equivalent volume of regular saline via gavage for 28 consecutive days, commencing the day after surgery. Then, we conducted echocardiography to assess the cardiac function, Masson staining to illustrate the extent of myocardial fibrosis, TUNEL staining to reveal myocardial apoptosis, and flow cytometry to analyze the polarization of M1 and M2 macrophages in the hearts. Besides, a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pro-inflammatory macrophage (M1) polarization model was implemented in RAW264.7 cells to elucidate the underlying mechanism of NXK in regulating macrophage polarization. RAW264.7 cells were pre-treated with or without NXK-containing serum. Oxidative stress was detected by MitoSox staining, followed by Seahorse energy metabolism assay to evaluate alterations in mitochondrial metabolic patterns and ATP production. Both In vivo and in vitro, HIF-1α and PDK1 were detected by fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS In vivo, MI mice exhibited a decline in cardiac function, adverse ventricular remodeling, and an increase in glycolysis, coupled with M1-dominant polarization mediated by the HIF-1α/PDK1 axis. Notably, robust responses were evident with high-dose NXK treatment (1.65 g/kg/day), leading to a significant enhancement in cardiac function, inhibition of cardiac remodeling, and partial suppression of macrophage glycolysis and the inflammatory phenotype in MI mice. This effect was achieved through the modulation of the HIF-1α/PDK1 axis. In vitro, elevated levels of mitochondrial ROS production and glycolysis were observed in LPS-induced macrophages. Conversely, treatment with NXK notably reduced the oxidative stress damage induced by LPS and enhanced oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Furthermore, NXK demonstrated the ability to modify the energy metabolism and inflammatory characteristics of macrophages by modulating the HIF-1α/PDK1 axis. The influence of NXK on this axis was partially counteracted by the HIF-1α agonist DMOG. And NXK downregulated PDK1 expression, curtailed glycolysis, and reversed LPS-induced M1 polarization in macrophages, similar to the PDK1 inhibitor DCA. CONCLUSION In conclusion, NXK protects against MI-induced cardiac remodeling by inducing metabolic reprogramming and phenotypic differentiation of macrophages, achieved through the modulation of the HIF-1α/PDK1 axis. This provides a novel and promising strategy for the treatment of MI.

Extracellular vesicles from dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells modulate macrophage phenotype during acute and chronic cardiac inflammation in athymic nude rats with myocardial infarction. Inflamm Regen 2024; 44:25.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells (DP-MSCs) are a promising therapeutic option for the treatment of myocardial ischemia. The aim of this study is to determine whether MSC-EVs could promote a pro-resolving environment in the heart by modulating macrophage populations. METHODS EVs derived from three independent biopsies of DP-MSCs (MSC-EVs) were isolated by tangential flow-filtration and size exclusion chromatography and were characterized by omics analyses. Biological processes associated with these molecules were analyzed using String and GeneCodis platforms. The immunomodulatory capacity of MSC-EVs to polarize macrophages towards a pro-resolving or M2-like phenotype was assessed by evaluating surface markers, cytokine production, and efferocytosis. The therapeutic potential of MSC-EVs was evaluated in an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) model in nude rats. Infarct size and the distribution of macrophage populations in the infarct area were evaluated 7 and 21 days after intramyocardial injection of MSC-EVs. RESULTS Lipidomic, proteomic, and miRNA-seq analysis of MSC-EVs revealed their association with biological processes involved in tissue regeneration and regulation of the immune system, among others. MSC-EVs promoted the differentiation of pro-inflammatory macrophages towards a pro-resolving phenotype, as evidenced by increased expression of M2 markers and decreased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Administration of MSC-EVs in rats with AMI limited the extent of the infarcted area at 7 and 21 days post-infarction. MSC-EV treatment also reduced the number of pro-inflammatory macrophages within the infarct area, promoting the resolution of inflammation. CONCLUSION EVs derived from DP-MSCs exhibited similar characteristics at the omics level irrespective of the biopsy from which they were derived. All MSC-EVs exerted effective pro-resolving responses in a rat model of AMI, indicating their potential as therapeutic agents for the treatment of inflammation associated with AMI.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a leading cause of disability and death worldwide, with immune regulation playing a crucial role in its pathogenesis. Various immune cells are involved, and as one of the key immune cells residing in the heart, macrophages play an indispensable role in the inflammatory and reparative processes during cardiac ischemia. Exosomes, extracellular vesicles containing lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and other bioactive molecules, have emerged as important mediators in the regulatory functions of macrophages and hold promise as a novel therapeutic target for IHD. This review summarizes the regulatory mechanisms of different subsets of macrophages and their secreted exosomes during cardiac ischemia over the past five years. It also discusses the current status of clinical research utilizing macrophages and their exosomes, as well as strategies to enhance their therapeutic efficacy through biotechnology. The aim is to provide valuable insights for the treatment of IHD.

Abstract
The evolutionarily conserved Hippo pathway plays a pivotal role in governing a variety of biological processes. Heart failure (HF) is a major global health problem with a significant risk of mortality. This review provides a contemporary understanding of the Hippo pathway in regulating different cell types during HF. Through a systematic analysis of each component's regulatory mechanisms within the Hippo pathway, we elucidate their specific effects on cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and macrophages in response to various cardiac injuries. Insights gleaned from both in vitro and in vivo studies highlight the therapeutic promise of targeting the Hippo pathway to address cardiovascular diseases, particularly HF.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) induces the generation of proinflammatory Ly6Chigh monocytes in the spleen and the recruitment of these cells to the myocardium. CD4+ Foxp3+ CD25+ T-cells (Tregs) promote the healing process after myocardial infarction by engendering a pro-healing differentiation state in myocardial monocyte-derived macrophages. We aimed to study the effects of CD4+ T-cells on splenic myelopoiesis and monocyte differentiation. We instigated MI in mice and found that MI-induced splenic myelopoiesis is abrogated in CD4+ T-cell deficient animals. Conventional CD4+ T-cells promoted myelopoiesis in vitro by cell-cell-contact and paracrine mechanisms, including interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) signalling. Depletion of regulatory T-cells enhanced myelopoiesis in vivo, as evidenced by increases in progenitor cell numbers and proliferative activity in the spleen 5 days after MI. The frequency of CD4+ T-cells-producing factors that promote myelopoiesis increased within the spleen of Treg-depleted mice. Moreover, depletion of Tregs caused a proinflammatory bias in splenic Ly6Chigh monocytes, which showed predominantly upregulated expression of IFN-γ responsive genes after MI. Our results indicate that conventional CD4+ T-cells promote and Tregs attenuate splenic myelopoiesis and proinflammatory differentiation of monocytes.

Nicorandil-Pretreated Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Facilitate Cardiac Repair After Myocardial Infarction via Promoting Macrophage M2 Polarization by Targeting miR-125a-5p/TRAF6/IRF5 Signaling Pathway. Int J Nanomedicine 2024; 19:2005-2024. [PMID: 38469055 PMCID: PMC10926597 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s441307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-exo) have been considered as a promising cell-free therapeutic strategy for ischemic heart disease. Cardioprotective drug pretreatment could be an effective approach to improve the efficacy of MSC-exo. Nicorandil has long been used in clinical practice for cardioprotection. This study aimed to investigate whether the effects of exosomes derived from nicorandil pretreated MSC (MSCNIC-exo) could be enhanced in facilitating cardiac repair after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods MSCNIC-exo and MSC-exo were collected and injected into the border zone of infarcted hearts 30 minutes after coronary ligation in rats. Macrophage polarization was detected 3 days post-infarction, cardiac function as well as histological pathology were measured on the 28th day after AMI. Macrophages were separated from the bone marrow of rats for in vitro model. Exosomal miRNA sequencing was conducted to identify differentially expressed miRNAs between MSCNIC-exo and MSC-exo. MiRNA mimics and inhibitors were transfected to MSCs or macrophages to explore the specific mechanism. Results Compared to MSC-exo, MSCNIC-exo showed superior therapeutic effects on cardiac functional and structural recovery after AMI and markedly elevated the ratio of CD68+ CD206+/ CD68+cells in infarcted hearts 3 days post-infarction. The notable ability of MSCNIC-exo to promote macrophage M2 polarization was also confirmed in vitro. Exosomal miRNA sequencing and both in vivo and in vitro experiments identified and verified that miR-125a-5p was an effector of the roles of MSCNIC-exo in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, we found miR-125a-5p promoted macrophage M2 polarization by inhibiting TRAF6/IRF5 signaling pathway. Conclusion This study suggested that MSCNIC-exo could markedly facilitate cardiac repair post-infarction by promoting macrophage M2 polarization by upregulating miR-125a-5p targeting TRAF6/IRF5 signaling pathway, which has great potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) has become the primary cause of cardiovascular mortality, while the current treatment methods in clinical all have their shortcomings. Injectable biomaterials have emerged as a promising solution for cardiac tissue repair after MI. In this study, we designed a smart multifunctional carrier that could meet the treatment needs of different MI pathological processes by programmatically releasing different therapeutic substances. The carrier could respond to inflammatory microenvironment in the early stage of MI with rapid release of curcumin (Cur), and then sustained release recombinant humanized collagen type III (rhCol III) to treat MI. The rapid release of Cur reduced inflammation and apoptosis in the early stages, while the sustained release of rhCol III promoted angiogenesis and cardiac repair in the later stages. In vitro and in vivo results suggested that the multifunctional carrier could effectively improve cardiac function, promote the repair of infarcted tissue, and inhibit ventricular remodeling by reducing cell apoptosis and inflammation, and promoting angiogenesis in the different pathological processes of MI. Therefore, this programmed-release carrier provides a promising protocol for MI therapy.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the primary drivers of the growing public health epidemic and the leading cause of premature mortality and economic burden worldwide. With decades of research, CVDs have been proven to be associated with the dysregulation of the inflammatory response, with macrophages playing imperative roles in influencing the prognosis of CVDs. Autophagy is a conserved pathway that maintains cellular functions. Emerging evidence has revealed an intrinsic connection between autophagy and macrophage functions. This review focuses on the role and underlying mechanisms of autophagy-mediated regulation of macrophage plasticity in polarization, inflammasome activation, cytokine secretion, metabolism, phagocytosis, and the number of macrophages. In addition, autophagy has been shown to connect macrophages and heart cells. It is attributed to specific substrate degradation or signalling pathway activation by autophagy-related proteins. Referring to the latest reports, applications targeting macrophage autophagy have been discussed in CVDs, such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and myocarditis. This review describes a novel approach for future CVD therapies.

Effect of aqueous extract of Indigofera tinctoria ( Linn) on aging-induced inflammation and its associated left ventricular hypertrophy and fibrosis in the rat. 3 Biotech 2023; 13:407. [PMID: 37987026 PMCID: PMC10657343 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-023-03815-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the present study is to investigate the ameliorative potential of the aqueous extract of Indigofera tinctoria (IT) in aging-induced inflammation and its associated cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. Young (3-month-old) and aged (24-26-month-old) male Wistar albino rats were grouped into young control, aged control, aged + IT, and young + IT. The animals in the supplementary groups received 200 mg/kg BWT of aqueous extract of IT orally once a day for 21 days. Aged animals showed prolonged QT interval and increased weight and volume of the heart with a thickening ventricular wall. Infiltration of leukocytes and increased cardiomyocyte diameter and decreased numerical density along with cardiomyocyte apoptosis and increased collagen accumulation were also seen in aged myocardium when compared to the young. The expression profile of various pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, NFκB, and iNOS was increased with a concomitant reduction in IL-10 expression in the aged compared to the young. In addition, a marked increase in ROS generation, TGF-β, and α-SMA levels is evident in the aged myocardium. These pathological changes were greatly reversed in aged animals supplemented with IT. Furthermore, the aged + IT group showed repression of pro-inflammatory markers with a subsequent increase in IL-10 expression. Contrarily, no marked changes were observed between young and young + IT groups. Taken together, it is concluded that the aqueous extract of Indigofera tinctoria suppresses cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy by repressing the inflammation and its associated activation of TGFβ and myofibroblast conversion.

Abstract
AIMS Acute myocardial infarction (MI) causes inflammation, collagen deposition, and reparative fibrosis in response to myocyte death and, subsequently, a pathological myocardial remodelling process characterized by excessive interstitial fibrosis, driving heart failure (HF). Nonetheless, how or when to limit excessive fibrosis for therapeutic purposes remains uncertain. Galectin-3, a major mediator of organ fibrosis, promotes cardiac fibrosis and remodelling. We performed a preclinical assessment of a protein inhibitor of galectin-3 (its C-terminal domain, Gal-3C) to limit excessive fibrosis resulting from MI and prevent ventricular enlargement and HF. METHODS AND RESULTS Gal-3C was produced by enzymatic cleavage of full-length galectin-3 or by direct expression of the truncated form in Escherichia coli. Gal-3C was intravenously administered for 7 days in acute MI models of young and aged rats, starting either pre-MI or 4 days post-MI. Echocardiography, haemodynamics, histology, and molecular and cellular analyses were performed to assess post-MI cardiac functionality and pathological fibrotic progression. Gal-3C profoundly benefitted left ventricular ejection fraction, end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes, haemodynamic parameters, infarct scar size, and interstitial fibrosis, with better therapeutic efficacy than losartan and spironolactone monotherapies over the 56-day study. Gal-3C therapy in post-MI aged rats substantially improved pump function and attenuated ventricular dilation, preventing progressive HF. Gal-3C in vitro treatment of M2-polarized macrophage-like cells reduced their M2-phenotypic expression of arginase-1 and interleukin-10. Gal-3C inhibited M2 polarization of cardiac macrophages during reparative response post-MI. Gal-3C impeded progressive fibrosis post-MI by down-regulating galectin-3-mediated profibrotic signalling cascades including a reduction in endogenous arginase-1 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). CONCLUSION Gal-3C treatment improved long-term cardiac function post-MI by reduction in the wound-healing response, and inhibition of inflammatory fibrogenic signalling to avert an augmentation of fibrosis in the periinfarct region. Thus, Gal-3C treatment prevented the infarcted heart from extensive fibrosis that accelerates the development of HF, providing a potential targeted therapy.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which encompass a myriad of pathological conditions that affect the heart and/or the blood vessels, remain the major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. By transferring a wide variety of bioactive molecules, including proteins and microRNAs (miRNAs), extracellular vesicles (EVs) are recognized as key players in long-range communication across the cardiovascular system. It has been demonstrated that these highly heterogeneous nanosized vesicles participate both in the maintenance of homeostasis of the heart and vessels, and contribute to the pathophysiology of CVDs, thus emerging as promising tools for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of multiple CVDs. In this review, we highlight the beneficial roles of EV-mediated communication in regulating vascular homeostasis, and inter-organ crosstalk as a potential mechanism controlling systemic metabolic fitness. In addition, the impact of EV secretion in disease development is described, particularly focusing on cardiac remodelling following ischaemia, atherogenesis and atrial fibrillation progression. Finally, we discuss the potential of endogenous and bioengineered EVs as therapeutic tools for CVDs, as well as the suitability of assessing the molecular signature of circulating EVs as a non-invasive predictive marker of CVD onset and progression. This rapidly expanding field of research has established the role of EVs as key conveyors of both cardioprotective and detrimental signals, which might be of relevance in uncovering novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers of CVDs.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) causes irreversible damage to the heart muscle, seriously threatening the lives of patients. Injectable hydrogels have attracted extensive attention in the treatment of MI. By promoting the coupling of mechanical and electrical signals between cardiomyocytes, combined with synergistic therapeutic strategies targeting the pathological processes of inflammation, proliferation, and fibrotic remodeling after MI, it is expected to improve the therapeutic effect. In this study, a pH/ROS dual-responsive injectable hydrogel was developed by modifying xanthan gum and gelatin with reversible imine bond and boronic ester bond double crosslinking. By encapsulating polydopamine-rosmarinic acid nanoparticles to achieve on-demand drug release in response to the microenvironment of MI, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-fibrosis effects. By adding conductive composites to improve the conductivity and mechanical strength of the hydrogel, restore electrical signal transmission in the infarct area, promote synchronous contraction of cardiomyocytes, avoid induced arrhythmias, and induce angiogenesis. Furthermore, the multifunctional hydrogel promoted the expression of cardiac-specific markers to restore cardiac function after MI. The in vivo and in vitro results demonstrate the effectiveness of this synergistic comprehensive treatment strategy in MI treatment, showing great application potential to promote the repair of infarcted hearts.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries and among older populations. Conventional diagnostic and therapeutic approaches have limitations such as low sensitivity, high cost and side effects. Nanotechnology offers promising alternative strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of CHD by exploiting the unique properties of nanomaterials. In this review, we use bibliometric analysis to identify research hotspots in the application of nanotechnology in CHD and provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art. Nanomaterials with enhanced imaging and biosensing capabilities can improve the early detection of CHD through advanced contrast agents and high-resolution imaging techniques. Moreover, nanomaterials can facilitate targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering and modulation of inflammation and oxidative stress, thus addressing multiple aspects of CHD pathophysiology. We discuss the application of nanotechnology in CHD diagnosis (imaging and sensors) and treatment (regulation of macrophages, cardiac repair, anti-oxidative stress), and provide insights into future research directions and clinical translation. This review serves as a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians seeking to harness the potential of nanotechnology in the management of CHD.

Abstract
The regulation of inflammatory response at the site of injury and macrophage immunotherapy is critical for tissue repair. Chiral self-assemblies are one of the most ubiquitous life cues, which is closely related to biological functions, life processes, and even the pathogenesis of diseases. However, the role of supramolecular chiral self-assemblies in the regulation of immune functions in the internal environment of tissues has not been fully explored yet. Herein, 3D supramolecular chiral self-assembling matrixes are prepared to regulate the polarization of macrophages and further enhance the repair of myocardial infarction (MI). Experiments studies show that M-type (left-handed) self-assembling matrixes significantly inhibit inflammation and promote damaged myocardium repair by upregulating M2 macrophage polarization and downstream immune signaling compared with P-type (right-handed), and R-type (non-chirality) self-assembling matrixes. Classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation demonstrates that M-type self-assembling matrixes display higher stereo-affinity to cellular binding, which enhances the clustering of mechanosensitive integrin β1 (Itgβ1) and activates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK), as well as downstream PI3K/Akt1/mTOR signaling axes to promote M2 polarization. This study of designing a 3D chiral self-assembling matrixes microenvironment suitable for regulating the polarization of macrophages will provide devise basis for immunotherapy with biomimetic materials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS This study aims to identify sex-specific transcriptional differences and signaling pathways in circulating monocytes contributing to cardiovascular disease. METHODS AND RESULTS We generated sex-biased gene expression signatures by comparing male versus female monocytes of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients (n = 450) from the Center for Translational Molecular Medicine-Circulating Cells Cohort. Gene set enrichment analysis demonstrated that monocytes from female CAD patients carry stronger chemotaxis and migratory signature than those from males. We then inferred cytokine signaling activities based on CytoSig database of 51 cytokine and growth factor regulation profiles. Monocytes from females feature a higher activation level of EGF, IFN1, VEGF, GM-CSF, and CD40L pathways, whereas IL-4, INS, and HMGB1 signaling was seen to be more activated in males. These sex differences were not observed in healthy subjects, as shown for an independent monocyte cohort of healthy subjects (GSE56034, n = 485). More pronounced GM-CSF signaling in monocytes of female CAD patients was confirmed by the significant enrichment of GM-CSF-activated monocyte signature in females. As we show these effects were not due to increased plasma levels of the corresponding ligands, sex-intrinsic differences in monocyte signaling regulation are suggested. Consistently, regulatory network analysis revealed jun-B as a shared transcription factor activated in all female-specific pathways except IFN1 but suppressed in male-activated IL-4. CONCLUSIONS We observed overt CAD-specific sex differences in monocyte transcriptional profiles and cytokine- or growth factor-induced responses, which provide insights into underlying mechanisms of sex differences in CVD.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. It is a result of the buildup of atherosclerosis within the coronary arteries. The role of the immune system in CAD is complex and multifaceted. The immune system responds to damage or injury to the arterial walls by initiating an inflammatory response. However, this inflammatory response can become chronic and lead to plaque formation. Neutrophiles, macrophages, B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, and NKT cells play a key role in immunity response, both with proatherogenic and antiatherogenic signaling pathways. Recent findings provide new roles and activities referring to endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells, which help to clarify the intricate signaling crosstalk between the involved actors. Research is ongoing to explore immunomodulatory therapies that target the immune system to reduce inflammation and its contribution to atherosclerosis. This review aims to summarize the pathogenic interplay between immunity and CAD and the potential therapeutic strategies, and explore immunomodulatory therapies that target the immune system to reduce inflammation and its contribution to atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Monocytes circulate the vasculature at steady state and are recruited to sites of inflammation where they differentiate into macrophages (MФ) to replenish tissue-resident MФ populations and engage in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Monocytes display considerable heterogeneity, currently reflected by a nomenclature based on their expression of cluster of differentiation (CD) 14 and CD16, distinguishing CD14++CD16- classical (cMo), CD14++CD16+ intermediate (intMo) and CD14+CD16++ non-classical (ncMo) monocytes. Several reports point to shifted subset distributions in the context of CVD, with significant association of intMo numbers with atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. However, clear indications of their causal involvement as well as their predictive value for CVD are lacking. As recent high-parameter cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) studies suggest an even higher degree of heterogeneity, better understanding of the functionalities of these subsets is pivotal. Considering their high heterogeneity, surprisingly little is known about functional differences between MФ originating from monocytes belonging to different subsets, and implications thereof for CVD pathogenesis. This paper provides an overview of recent findings on monocyte heterogeneity in the context of homeostasis and disease as well as functional differences between the subsets and their potential to differentiate into MФ, focusing on their role in vessels and the heart. The emerging paradigm of monocyte heterogeneity transcending the current tripartite subset division argues for an updated nomenclature and functional studies to substantiate marker-based subdivision and to clarify subset-specific implications for CVD.

Abstract
Innovative methodologies combined with scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), alleviating oxidative stress damage and promoting macrophage polarization to M2 phenotype may be ideal for remodeling implant-infected bone tissue. Herein, a functionalization strategy for doping Tannic acid-d-tyrosine nanoparticles with photothermal profile into the hydrogel coating composed of konjac gum and gelatin on the surface of titanium (Ti) substrate is accurately constructed. The prepared hydrogel coating exhibits excellent properties of eliminating biofilm and killing planktonic bacteria, which is based on increasing susceptibility to bacteria by the photothermal effect, biofilm-dissipation effect of D-tyrosine, as well as the bactericidal effect of tannic acid. In addition, the modified Ti substrate has effectively alleviated proinflammatory responses by scavenging intracellular excessive ROS and guiding macrophages polarization toward M2. More interesting, conditioned medium from macrophage indicates that paracrine is conducive to osteogenic proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. Results from rat model of femur infection in vivo demonstrate that the modified Ti implant significantly eliminates the residual bacteria, relieves inflammation, mediates macrophage polarization, and accelerates osseointegration. Altogether, this study exhibits a new perspective for the development of advanced functional implant with great application potential in bone tissue regeneration and repair.

Abstract
N-formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) are seven-transmembrane, G protein-coupled receptors with a wide distribution in immune and non-immune cells, recognizing N-formyl peptides from bacterial and mitochondrial origin and several endogenous signals. Three FPRs have been identified in humans: FPR1, FPR2, and FPR3. Most FPR ligands can activate a pro-inflammatory response, while a limited group of FPR agonists can elicit anti-inflammatory and homeostatic responses. Annexin A1 (AnxA1), a glucocorticoid-induced protein, its N-terminal peptide Ac2-26, and lipoxin A4 (LXA4), a lipoxygenase-derived eicosanoid mediator, exert significant immunomodulatory effects by interacting with FPR2 and/or FPR1. The ability of FPRs to recognize both ligands with pro-inflammatory or inflammation-resolving properties places them in a crucial position in the balance between activation against harmful events and maintaince of tissue integrity. A new field of investigation focused on the role of FPRs in the setting of heart injury. FPRs are expressed on cardiac macrophages, which are the predominant immune cells in the myocardium and play a key role in heart diseases. Several endogenous (AnxA1, LXA4) and synthetic compounds (compound 43, BMS-986235) reduced infarct size and promoted the resolution of inflammation via the activation of FPR2 on cardiac macrophages. Further studies should evaluate FPR2 role in other cardiovascular disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Recent technological advances have identified distinct subpopulations and roles of the cardiac innate immune cells, specifically macrophages and neutrophils. Studies on distinct metabolic pathways of macrophage and neutrophil in cardiac injury are expanding. Here, we elaborate on the roles of cardiac macrophages and neutrophils in concomitance with their metabolism in normal and diseased hearts. RECENT FINDINGS Single-cell techniques combined with fate mapping have identified the clusters of innate immune cell subpopulations present in the resting and diseased hearts. We are beginning to know about the presence of cardiac resident macrophages and their functions. Resident macrophages perform cardiac homeostatic roles, whereas infiltrating neutrophils and macrophages contribute to tissue damage during cardiac injury with eventual role in repair. Prior studies show that metabolic pathways regulate the phenotypes of the macrophages and neutrophils during cardiac injury. Profiling the metabolism of the innate immune cells, especially of resident macrophages during chronic and acute cardiac diseases, can further the understanding of cardiac immunometabolism.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (MI) and chemotherapeutic drug administration can induce myocardial damage and cardiomyocyte cell death, and trigger the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that initiate the aseptic inflammatory response. The moderate inflammatory response is beneficial for repairing damaged myocardium, while an excessive inflammatory response exacerbates myocardial injury, promotes scar formation, and results in a poor prognosis of cardiac diseases. Immune responsive gene 1 (IRG1) is specifically highly expressed in activated macrophages and mediates the production of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolite itaconate. However, the role of IRG1 in the inflammation and myocardial injury of cardiac stress-related diseases remains unknown. Here, we found that IRG1 knockout mice exhibited increased cardiac tissue inflammation and infarct size, aggravated myocardial fibrosis, and impaired cardiac function after MI and in vivo doxorubicin (Dox) administration. Mechanically, IRG1 deficiency enhanced the production of IL-6 and IL-1β by suppressing the nuclear factor red lineage 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) pathway in cardiac macrophages. Importantly, 4-octyl itaconate (4-OI), a cell-permeable derivative of itaconate, reversed the inhibited expression of NRF2 and ATF3 caused by IRG1 deficiency. Moreover, in vivo 4-OI administration inhibited the cardiac inflammation and fibrosis, and prevented adverse ventricle remodeling in IRG1 knockout mice with MI or Dox-induced myocardial injury. Our study uncovers the critical protective role of IRG1 in suppressing inflammation and preventing cardiac dysfunction under ischemic or toxic injury conditions, providing a potential target for the treatment of myocardial injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reperfusion therapy is the most effective approach to resolve coronary occlusion, but myocardial injury caused by excessive inflammation during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion will also pose a new threat to health. Our prior study revealed the expression pattern of interleukin-38 (IL-38) in the peripheral blood serum of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and the role of IL-38 in acute myocardial infarction in mice. However, its role and potential mechanisms in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) remain to be determined. METHODS AND RESULTS The left anterior descending artery of C57BL/6 mice was transiently ligated to induce the MIRI model. We found that MIRI induced the expression of endogenous IL-38, which was mainly produced by locally infiltrating macrophages. Overexpression of IL-38 in C57BL/6 mice attenuated inflammatory injury and decreased myocardial apoptosis after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. Furthermore, IL-38 inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage inflammation in vitro. Cardiomyocytes cocultured with the supernatant of IL-38- and troponin I-treated macrophages showed a lower rate of apoptosis than controls. CONCLUSIONS IL-38 attenuates MIRI by inhibiting macrophage inflammation. This inhibitory effect may be partially achieved by inhibiting the activation of NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-related protein 3 inflammasome, resulting in decreased expression of inflammatory factors and reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

Abstract
Heart failure is typically caused by different cardiovascular conditions and has a poor prognosis. Despite the advances in treatment in recent decades, heart failure has remained a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. As revealed by in vivo and in vitro experiments, inflammation plays a crucial role in adverse cardiac remodeling, ultimately leading to heart failure. Macrophages are central to the innate immune system, and they are the most indispensable cell type for all cardiac injuries and remodeling stages. The immediate microenvironment regulates their polarization and secretion. In this review, we summarize the phenotypic heterogeneity and governing roles of macrophages in the infarcted, inflamed, and aging heart and assess their significance as potential therapeutic targets in heart failure. We also highlight the current missing links and major challenges in the field that remain to be addressed before macrophages can be exploited for therapeutic applications.

Multiomics uncover the proinflammatory role of Trpm4 deletion after myocardial infarction in mice. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 2023; 324:H504-H518.

Abstract
Upon myocardial infarction (MI), ischemia-induced cell death triggers an inflammatory response responsible for removing necrotic material and inducing tissue repair. TRPM4 is a Ca2+-activated ion channel permeable to monovalent cations. Although its role in cardiomyocyte-driven hypertrophy and arrhythmia post-MI has been established, no study has yet investigated its role in the inflammatory process orchestrated by endothelial cells, immune cells, and fibroblasts. This study aims to assess the role of TRPM4 in 1) survival and cardiac function, 2) inflammation, and 3) healing post-MI. We performed ligation of the left coronary artery or sham intervention on 154 Trpm4 WT or KO mice under isoflurane anesthesia. Survival and echocardiographic functions were monitored up to 5 wk. We collected serum during the acute post-MI phase to analyze proteomes and performed single-cell RNA sequencing on nonmyocytic cells of hearts after 24 and 72 h. Lastly, we assessed chronic fibrosis and angiogenesis. We observed no significant differences in survival or cardiac function, even though our proteomics data showed significantly decreased tissue injury markers (i.e., creatine kinase M and VE-cadherin) in KO serum after 12 h. On the other hand, inflammation, characterized by serum amyloid P component in the serum, higher number of recruited granulocytes, inflammatory monocytes, and macrophages, as well as expression of proinflammatory genes, was significantly higher in KO. This correlated with increased chronic cardiac fibrosis and angiogenesis. Since inflammation and fibrosis are closely linked to adverse remodeling, future therapeutic attempts at inhibiting TRPM4 will need to assess these parameters carefully before proceeding with translational studies.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Deletion of Trpm4 increases markers of cardiac and systemic inflammation within the first 24 h after MI, while inducing an earlier fibrotic transition at 72 h and more overall chronic fibrosis and angiogenesis at 5 wk. The descriptive, robust, and methodologically broad approach of this study sheds light on an important caveat that will need to be taken into account in all future therapeutic attempts to inhibit TRPM4 post-MI.

Abstract
IntroductionInducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) produces micromolar amounts of nitric oxide (NO) upon the right stimuli, whose further reactions can lead to oxidative stress. In murine models of myocardial infarction (MI), iNOS is known to be expressed in infiltrating macrophages, which at early onset enter the infarcted zone and are associated with inflammation. In contrast cardiac tissue resident macrophages are thought to enhance regeneration of tissue injury and re-establish homeostasis. Both detrimental and beneficial effects of iNOS have been described, still the role of iNOS in MI is not fully understood. Our aim was to examine cell expression patterns of iNOS and nitrotyrosine (NT) production in human MI.Material and MethodsWe examined in postmortem human MI hearts the iNOS mRNA expression by means of qPCR. Further we performed immunohistochemical stainings for cell type identification. Afterwards a distance analysis between iNOS and NT was carried out to determine causality between iNOS and NT production.ResultsiNOS mRNA expression was significantly increased in infarcted regions of human MI hearts and iNOS protein expression was detected in resident macrophages in infarcted human hearts as well as in controls hearts, being higher in resident macrophages in MI hearts compared to control. Furthermore in MI and in healthy human hearts cells showing signs of NT production peaked within 10–15 µm proximity of iNOS+ cells.DiscussionThese results indicate that, unexpectedly, resident macrophages are the main source of iNOS expression in postmortem human MI hearts. The peak of NT positive cells within 10–15 µm of iNOS+ cells suggest an iNOS dependent level of NT and therefore iNOS dependent oxidative stress. Our results contribute to understanding the role of iNOS in human MI.

Inflamm Res 2023; 72:879-892. [PMID: 36912917 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-023-01714-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2022] [Revised: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Monocytes/macrophages play critical roles in inflammation and cardiac remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI). The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) modulates local and systemic inflammatory responses by activating α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7nAChR) in monocytes/macrophages. We investigated the effect of α7nAChR on MI-induced monocyte/macrophage recruitment and polarization and its contribution to cardiac remodeling and dysfunction. METHODS Adult male Sprague Dawley rats underwent coronary ligation and were intraperitoneally injected with the α7nAChR-selective agonist PNU282987 or the antagonist methyllycaconitine (MLA). RAW264.7 cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) + interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and treated with PNU282987, MLA, and S3I-201 (a STAT3 inhibitor). Cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography. Masson's trichrome and immunofluorescence were used to detect cardiac fibrosis, myocardial capillary density, and M1/M2 macrophages. Western blotting was used to detect protein expression, and the proportion of monocytes was measured using flow cytometry. RESULTS Activating the CAP with PNU282987 significantly improved cardiac function and reduced cardiac fibrosis and 28-day mortality after MI. On days 3 and 7 post-MI, PNU282987 reduced the percentage of peripheral CD172a + CD43low monocytes and the infiltration of M1 macrophages in the infarcted hearts, whereas it increased the recruitment of peripheral CD172a + CD43high monocytes and M2 macrophages. Conversely, MLA exerted the opposite effects. In vitro, PNU282987 inhibited M1 macrophage polarization and promoted M2 macrophage polarization in LPS + IFN-γ-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. These PNU282987-induced changes in LPS + IFN-γ-stimulated RAW264.7 cells were reversed by administering S3I-201. CONCLUSION Activating α7nAChR inhibits the early recruitment of pro-inflammatory monocytes/macrophages during MI and improves cardiac function and remodeling. Our findings suggest a promising therapeutic target for regulating monocyte/macrophage phenotypes and promoting healing after MI.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels carrying therapeutic factors to modulate the infarct immune microenvironment show great potential in the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). However, conventional injectable hydrogels release therapeutic factors in an uncontrolled manner, which leads to poor treatment efficacy and acute side effects on normal tissues. In this work, a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2/9-responsive hydrogel system (MPGC4) is developed, considering the characteristics of the post-MI microenvironment. MPGC4 consists of tetra-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels and a composite gene nanocarrier (CTL4) that is composed of carbon dots (CDots) coupled with interleukin-4 plasmid DNA via electrostatic interactions. MPGC4 can be automatically triggered to release CTL4 on demand after MI to regulate the infarct immune microenvironment. In addition, due to the photoluminescence properties of CDots, a large amount of viscoelastic MPGC4 is found to be retained in situ after injection into the infarct region without leakage. The in vitro results demonstrate that CTL4 promotes proinflammatory M1 macrophage polarization to the anti-inflammatory M2 subtype and contributes to cardiomyocyte survival through macrophage transition. In a rat model of MI, MPGC4 clears MMPs and precisely targets CTL4 to the infarcted region. In particular, MPGC4 improves cardiac function by modulating macrophage transition to reduce early inflammatory responses and proangiogenic activity.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is defined as evidence of myocardial necrosis consistent with prolonged ischemia. In response to MI, the myocardium undergoes a series of wound healing events that initiate inflammation and shift to anti-inflammation before transitioning to tissue repair that culminates in scar formation to replace the region of the necrotic myocardium. The overall response to MI is determined by two major steps, the first of which is the secretion of proteases by infiltrating leukocytes to breakdown extracellular matrix (ECM) components, a necessary step to remove necrotic cardiomyocytes. The second step is the generation of new ECM that comprises the scar; and this step is governed by the cardiac fibroblasts as the major source of new ECM synthesis. The leukocyte component resides in the middle of the two-step process, contributing to both sides as the leukocytes transition from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory and reparative cell phenotypes. The balance between the two steps determines the final quantity and quality of scar formed, which in turn contributes to chronic outcomes following MI, including the progression to heart failure. This review will summarize our current knowledge regarding the cardiac wound healing response to MI, primarily focused on experimental models of MI in mice. This article is categorized under: Cardiovascular Diseases > Molecular and Cellular Physiology Immune System Diseases > Molecular and Cellular Physiology.

Features of metabolic syndrome and inflammation independently affect left ventricular function early after first myocardial infarction. Int J Cardiol 2023; 370:43-50. [PMID: 36306955 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2022.10.142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Revised: 10/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A high body mass index (BMI) is often associated with metabolic syndrome, which is accompanied by systemic low-grade chronic inflammation. Here, we analyzed whether BMI, other components of metabolic syndrome, and/or inflammatory markers correlate with left ventricular geometry, function, and infarct size as assessed by serial cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after a first (clinically evident) ST-elevation MI (STEMI). METHODS Within the Etiology, Titre-Course, and effect on Survival (ETiCS) study, cardiac MRI conducted 7-9 days and 12 months after MI enabled longitudinal characterization of patients with a first STEMI along with serial routine blood counts and multiplex cytokine measurements. RESULTS Of 91 locally included STEMI patients, 47% were overweight (25 kg/m2 < BMI < 30 kg/m2) and 24% were obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2). No patient died during 12 months of follow-up. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), measured 7-9 days after STEMI, was significantly lower in overweight (49.5 ± 7.1%) and obese (45.8 ± 12.0%) patients than in the normal weight group (56.2 ± 7.7%). Along with BMI (T = -3.8; p < 0.001), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c; T = -3.1; p = 0.004) and peak C-reactive protein (T = -2.6; p = 0.013) emerged as independent predictors of worse LVEF 7-9 days post MI (R2 = 0.45). Only peak C-reactive protein (T = -4.4; p < 0.001), but not parameters of the metabolic syndrome, predicted worse LVEF 12 months after STEMI (R2 = 0.20). CONCLUSION Both BMI and HbA1c correlated negatively with LVEF only early, but not late after STEMI. Peak CRP evolved as strongest predictor of cardiac function at all time points independent of the metabolic syndrome.

Excessive or persistent inflammation incites cardiomyocytes necrosis by generating reactive oxygen species in myocardial infarction (MI). Hydrogen sulfide (H2 S), a gaseous signal molecule, can quickly permeate cells and tissues, growing concerned for its cardioprotective effects. However, short resident time and strong side effects greatly restrict its application. Herein, a complex scaffold (AAB) is first developed to slowly release H2 S for myocardial protection by integrating alginate modified with 2-aminopyridine-5-thiocarboxamide (H2 S donor) into albumin electrospun fibers. Next, a band-aid like patch is constructed based on AAB (center) and nanocomposite scaffold which comprises albumin scaffold and black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs). With near-infrared laser (808 nm), thermal energy generated by BPNSs can locally change the molecular structure of fibrous scaffold, thereby attaching patch to the myocardium. In this study, it is also demonstrated that AAB can enhance regenerative M2 macrophage and attenuate inflammatory polarization of macrophages via reduction in intracellular ROS. Eventually, this engineered cardiac patch can relieve inflammation and promote angiogenesis after MI, and thereby recover heart function, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for MI treatment.

Abstract
Heart failure is associated with profound alterations in cardiac intermediary metabolism. One of the prevailing hypotheses is that metabolic remodeling leads to a mismatch between cardiac energy (ATP) production and demand, thereby impairing cardiac function. However, even after decades of research, the relevance of metabolic remodeling in the pathogenesis of heart failure has remained elusive. Here we propose that cardiac metabolic remodeling should be looked upon from more perspectives than the mere production of ATP needed for cardiac contraction and relaxation. Recently, advances in cancer research have revealed that the metabolic rewiring of cancer cells, often coined as oncometabolism, directly impacts cellular phenotype and function. Accordingly, it is well feasible that the rewiring of cardiac cellular metabolism during the development of heart failure serves similar functions. In this review, we reflect on the influence of principal metabolic pathways on cellular phenotype as originally described in cancer cells and discuss their potential relevance for cardiac pathogenesis. We discuss current knowledge of metabolism-driven phenotypical alterations in the different cell types of the heart and evaluate their impact on cardiac pathogenesis and therapy.

Abstract
The human body seems like a "balance integrator." On the one hand, the body constantly actively receives various outside stimuli and signals to induce changes. On the other hand, several internal regulations would be initiated to adapt to these changes. In most cases, the body could keep the balance in vitro and in vivo to reach a healthy body. However, in some cases, the body can only get to a pathological balance. Actively exposed to unhealthy lifestyles and passively adapting to individual primary diseases lead to a similarly inner environment for both heart failure and cancer. To cope with these stimuli, the body must activate the system regulation mechanism and face the mutual interference. This review summarized the association between heart failure and cancer from active exposure to passive adaption. Moreover, we hope to inspire researchers to contemplate these two diseases from the angle of overall body consideration.

Abstract
Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), a regulator of osteoblast differentiation, is pathologically involved in vascular calcification; however, the significance of Runx2 in cardiac homeostasis remains unclear. Here, we investigated the roles of Runx2 in cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). The expression of Runx2 mRNA and protein was upregulated in murine hearts after MI. Runx2 was expressed in heart-infiltrating myeloid cells, especially in macrophages, at the border zone of post-infarct myocardium. To analyze the biological functions of Runx2 in cardiac remodeling, myeloid cell-specific Runx2 deficient (CKO) mice were exposed to MI. After MI, ventricular weight/tibia length ratio was increased in CKO mice, concomitant with severe cardiac dysfunction. Cardiac fibrosis was exacerbated in CKO mice, consistent with the upregulation of collagen 1a1 expression. Mechanistically, immunohistochemical analysis using anti-CD31 antibody showed that capillary density was decreased in CKO mice. Additionally, conditioned culture media of myeloid cells from Runx2 deficient mice exposed to MI induced the tube formation of vascular endothelial cells to a lesser extent than those from control mice. RNA-sequence showed that the expression of pro-angiogenic or anti-angiogenic factors was altered in macrophages from Runx2-deficient mice. Collectively, Runx2+ myeloid cells infiltrate into post-infarct myocardium and prevent adverse cardiac remodeling, at least partially, by regulating endothelial cell function.

Abstract
Medullary and extra-medullary hematopoiesis has been shown to govern inflammatory cell infiltration and subsequently cardiac remodeling and function after acute myocardial infarction (MI). Emerging evidence positions adipose tissue (AT) as an alternative source of immune cell production. We, therefore, hypothesized that AT could act as a reservoir of inflammatory cells that participate in cardiac homeostasis after MI. To reveal the distinct role of inflammatory cells derived from AT or bone marrow (BM), chimeric mice were generated using standard repopulation assays. We showed that AMI increased the number of AT-derived macrophages in the cardiac tissue. These macrophages exhibit pro-inflammatory characteristics and their specific depletion improved cardiac function as well as decreased infarct size and interstitial fibrosis. We then reasoned that the alteration of AT-immune compartment in type 2 diabetes could, thus, contribute to defects in cardiac remodeling. However, in these conditions, myeloid cells recruited in the infarcted heart mainly originate from the BM, and AT was no longer used as a myeloid cell reservoir. Altogether, we showed here that a subpopulation of cardiac inflammatory macrophages emerges from myeloid cells of AT origin and plays a detrimental role in cardiac remodeling and function after MI. Diabetes abrogates the ability of AT-derived myeloid cells to populate the infarcted heart.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that 7-ketocholesterol (7-KC), one of the most abundant dietary oxysterols, causes inflammation and cardiovascular diseases. Here we show the deteriorating effects of dietary 7-KC on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury and detailed the molecular mechanisms. A high-fat high-cholesterol diet containing 7-KC (7KWD) for 3 weeks increased the plasma 7-KC level compared with high-fat high-cholesterol diet in mice. In wild-type mice but not in CCR2-/- mice, dietary 7-KC increased the myocardial infarct size after IR. Flow cytometry revealed that the ratio of Ly-6Chigh inflammatory monocytes to total monocytes was increased in the 7KWD group. Unbiased RNA sequencing using murine primary macrophages revealed that 7-KC regulated the expression of transcripts related to inflammation and cholesterol biosynthesis. We further validated that in vitro, 7-KC induced endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, and nuclear factor-kappa B activation, which are associated with increased mRNA levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Administration of N-acetyl-L-cysteine or siRNA-mediated knockdown of PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase or endoplasmic reticulum oxidase 1α suppressed the levels of 7-KC-induced inflammation. Dietary 7-KC exacerbates myocardial IR injury through monocyte/macrophage-mediated inflammation. Endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative stress are involved in the 7-KC-induced proinflammatory response in macrophages.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which Doxorubicin (Dox) causes acute and late cardiotoxicity are not completely understood. One understudied area is the innate immune response, and in particular the role of neutrophils in Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. Here, using echocardiography, flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining, we demonstrated increased infiltration of neutrophils that correlated with decreased heart function, disruption of vascular structures and increased collagen deposition in the heart after Dox treatment. Depleting neutrophils protected the heart from Dox-induced cardiotoxicity and changes in vascular structure. Furthermore, our data using neutrophil elastase (NE) knock-out mice and the NE inhibitor AZD9668 suggest that neutrophils cause this damage by releasing NE and that inhibiting NE can prevent Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. This work shows the role of neutrophils and NE in Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity for the first time and suggests a new possible therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Cardiac electrophysiology is a complex system established by a plethora of inward and outward ion currents in cardiomyocytes generating and conducting electrical signals in the heart. However, not only cardiomyocytes but also other cell types can modulate the heart rhythm. Recently, cardiac macrophages were demonstrated as important players in both electrophysiology and arrhythmogenesis. Cardiac macrophages are a heterogeneous group of immune cells including resident macrophages derived from embryonic and fetal precursors and recruited macrophages derived from circulating monocytes from the bone marrow. Recent studies suggest antiarrhythmic as well as proarrhythmic effects of cardiac macrophages. The proposed mechanisms of how cardiac macrophages affect electrophysiology vary and include both direct and indirect interactions with other cardiac cells. In this review, we provide an overview of the different subsets of macrophages in the heart and their possible interactions with cardiomyocytes under both physiologic conditions and heart disease. Furthermore, we elucidate similarities and differences between human, murine and porcine cardiac macrophages, thus providing detailed information for researchers investigating cardiac macrophages in important animal species for electrophysiologic research. Finally, we discuss the pros and cons of mice and pigs to investigate the role of cardiac macrophages in arrhythmogenesis from a translational perspective.

Abstract
Today, more and more studies focus on the processes in which macrophages are involved. These discoveries provide new perspectives on the cellular mechanisms that regulate the physiological functions of the healthy heart. Moreover, they offer a deeper knowledge of the pathologic processes underlying the onset and the evolution of specific cardiac impairment. The heterogeneous population of macrophages within the heart can be divided by origin, expression profile, and function. The pool of cardiac macrophages includes at least two distinct subsets with different ontogeny. The first one has an embryonic origin, deriving from the yolk sac and the fetal liver, while the other macrophage subset results from the postnatal recruitment of monocytes produced in the bone marrow. This review will focus on new phenotypes and functions of cardiac macrophages that have been identified in the last years and that need to be deeply studied to unveil new potential therapies aimed at treating cardiac diseases.

Abstract
Many facets of tissue engineered models aim at understanding cellular mechanisms to recapitulate in vivo behavior, to study and mimic diseases for drug interventions, and to provide a better understanding toward improving regenerative medicine. Recent and rapid advances in stem cell biology, material science and engineering, have made the generation of complex engineered tissues much more attainable. One such tissue, human myocardium, is extremely intricate, with a number of different cell types. Recent studies have unraveled cardiac resident macrophages as a critical mediator for normal cardiac function. Macrophages within the heart exert phagocytosis and efferocytosis, facilitate electrical conduction, promote regeneration, and remove cardiac exophers to maintain homeostasis. These findings underpin the rationale of introducing macrophages to engineered heart tissue (EHT), to more aptly capitulate in vivo physiology. Despite the lack of studies using cardiac macrophages in vitro, there is enough evidence to accept that they will be key to making EHTs more physiologically relevant. In this review, we explore the rationale and feasibility of using macrophages as an additional cell source in engineered cardiac tissues. Impact statement Macrophages play a critical role in cardiac homeostasis and in disease. Over the past decade, we have come to understand the many vital roles played by cardiac resident macrophages in the heart, including immunosurveillance, regeneration, electrical conduction, and elimination of exophers. There is a need to improve our understanding of the resident macrophage population in the heart in vitro, to better recapitulate the myocardium through tissue engineered models. However, obtaining them in vitro remains a challenge. Here, we discuss the importance of cardiac resident macrophages and potential ways to obtain cardiac resident macrophages in vitro. Finally, we critically discuss their potential in realizing impactful in vitro models of cardiac tissue and their impact in the field.

Modulation of Rxrα Expression in Mononuclear Phagocytes Impacts on Cardiac Remodeling after Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10061274. [PMID: 35740296 PMCID: PMC9219801 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10061274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 05/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Retinoid X receptors (RXRs), as members of the steroid/thyroid hormone superfamily of nuclear receptors, are crucial regulators of immune response during health and disease. RXR subtype expression is dependent on tissue and cell type, RXRα being the relevant isoform in monocytes and macrophages. Previous studies have assessed different functions of RXRs and positive implications of RXR agonists on outcomes after ischemic injuries have been described. However, the impact of a reduced Rxrα expression in mononuclear phagocytes on cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) has not been investigated to date. Here, we use a temporally controlled deletion of Rxrα in monocytes and macrophages to determine its role in ischemia-reperfusion injury. We show that reduced expression of Rxrα in mononuclear phagocytes leads to a decreased phagocytic activity and an accumulation of apoptotic cells in the myocardium, reduces angiogenesis and cardiac macrophage proliferation in the infarct border zone/infarct area, and has an impact on monocyte/macrophage subset composition. These changes are associated with a greater myocardial defect 30 days after ischemia/reperfusion injury. Overall, the reduction of Rxrα levels in monocytes and macrophages negatively impacts cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction. Thus, RXRα might represent a therapeutic target to regulate the immune response after MI in order to improve cardiac remodeling.

Abstract
Macrophages play an important role in clearing necrotic myocardial tissues, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction. M1 macrophages not only participate in the inflammatory response in myocardial tissues after infarction, which causes heart damage, but also exert a protective effect on the heart during ischemia. In contrast, M2 macrophages exhibit anti-inflammatory and tissue repair properties by inducing the production of high levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines and fibro-progenitor cells. Interleukin (IL)-38, a new member of the IL-1 family, has been reported to modulate the IL-36 signaling pathway by playing a role similar to that of the IL-36 receptor antagonist, which also affects the production and secretion of macrophage-related inflammatory factors that play an anti-inflammatory role. IL-38 can relieve myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by promoting the differentiation of M1 macrophages into M2 macrophages, inhibit the activation of NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain-associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, and increase the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β. The intact recombinant IL-38 can also bind to interleukin 1 receptor accessory protein-like 1 (IL-1RAPL1) to activate the c-jun N-terminal kinase/activator protein 1 (JNK/AP1) pathway and increase the production of IL-6. In addition, IL-38 regulates dendritic cell-induced cardiac regulatory T cells, thereby regulating macrophage polarization and improving ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction. Accordingly, we speculated that IL-38 and macrophage regulation may be therapeutic targets for ameliorating myocardial ischemic injury and ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction. However, the specific mechanism of the IL-38 action warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNA molecules that are associated with not only normal physiological functions but also various diseases, including cardiac diseases such as myocardial infarction (MI). The present study explored the potential role of circRNA_0007059 (circ_0007059) during MI pathogenesis using in vitro studies. Microarray and quantitative PCR analyses demonstrated elevated circ_0007059 expression and downregulated miR-378 and miR-383 expression in H2O2-treated mice cardiomyocytes and infarcted hearts of MI mouse model as compared those in relevant controls. Moreover, circ_0007059 knockdown improved cardiomyocyte viability after H2O2 treatment as revealed by the CCK-8 and colony formation assays. Flow cytometry and caspase activity assays demonstrated that circ_0007059 suppressed H2O2-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and Western blotting revealed that inflammatory cytokine (interleukin-1β, interleukin-18 and C-C motif chemokine ligand 5) expression was induced by H2O2 treatment and that circ_0007059 repressed H2O2-induced inflammation. Bioinformatics analyses and dual-luciferase reporter assays showed that circ_0000759 acts as a miR-378 and miR-383 sponge. Furthermore, the upregulation or suppression of miR-378 and miR-383 expression in H2O2-treated cardiomyocytes had similar effects on the apoptosis and inflammation of cardiomyocytes as that of circ_0007059 knockdown or overexpression, respectively. Additionally, lentiviral shRNA-circ_0007059 administration to mice with MI considerably reduced the size of infarcted regions and promoted cardiac activity. Collectively, our findings suggest that circ_0007059 expression is upregulated in mice cardiomyocytes in response to oxidative stress and cardiac tissues of MI mouse model, suggesting its involvement in the pathogenesis of MI by targeting miR-378 and miR-383.

Abstract
Introduction and Objectives Wound healing after myocardial infarction (MI) is a dynamic and complex multiple phase process, and a coordinated cellular response is required for proper scar formation. The current paradigm suggests that pro-inflammatory monocytes infiltrate the MI zone during the initial pro-inflammatory phase and differentiate into inflammatory macrophages, and then switch their phenotypes to anti-inflammatory during the reparative phase. Visualization of the reparative phase post-MI is of great interest because it may reveal delayed resolution of inflammation, which in turn predicts adverse cardiac remodeling. Imaging of anti-inflammatory macrophages may also be used to assess therapy approaches aiming to modulate the inflammatory response in order to limit MI size. Reparative macrophages can be distinguished from inflammatory macrophages by the surface marker mannose receptor (MR, CD206). In this study we evaluated the feasibility of 68Ga-NOTA-anti-MMR Nb for imaging of MR on alternatively activated macrophages in murine MI models. Methods Wildtype and MR-knockout mice and Wistar rats were subjected to MI via permanent ligation of the left coronary artery. Non-operated or sham-operated animals were used as controls. MR expression kinetics on cardiac macrophages was measured in mice using flow cytometry. PET/CT scans were performed 1 h after intravenous injection of 68Ga-NOTA-anti-MMR Nb. Mice and rats were euthanized and hearts harvested for ex vivo PET/MRI, autoradiography, and staining. As a non-targeting negative control, 68Ga-NOTA-BCII10 was used. Results In vivo-PET/CT scans showed focal radioactivity signals in the infarcted myocardium for 68Ga-NOTA-anti-MMR Nb which were confirmed by ex vivo-PET/MRI scans. In autoradiography images, augmented uptake of the tracer was observed in infarcts, as verified by the histochemistry analysis. Immunofluorescence staining demonstrated the presence and co-localization of CD206- and CD68-positive cells, in accordance to infarct zone. No in vivo or ex vivo signal was observed in the animals injected with control Nb or in the sham-operated animals. 68Ga-NOTA-anti-MMR Nb uptake in the infarcts of MR-knockout mice was negligibly low, confirming the specificity of 68Ga-NOTA-anti-MMR Nb to MR. Conclusion This exploratory study highlights the potential of 68Ga-NOTA-anti-MMR Nb to image MR-positive macrophages that are known to play a pivotal role in wound healing that follows acute MI.

Abstract
The immune system is fundamental to tissue homeostasis and is the first line of defense following infection, injury or disease. In the damaged heart, large numbers of immune cells are recruited to the site of injury. These cells play an integral part in both repair by scar formation and the initiation of tissue regeneration. They initially assume inflammatory phenotypes, releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines and removing dead and dying tissue, before entering a reparative stage, replacing dead muscle tissue with a non-contractile scar. In this Review, we present an overview of the innate and adaptive immune response to heart injury. We explore the kinetics of immune cell mobilization following cardiac injury and how the different innate and adaptive immune cells interact with one another and with the damaged tissue. We draw on key findings from regenerative models, providing insight into how to support a robust immune response permissible for cardiac regeneration. Finally, we consider how the latest technological developments can offer opportunities for a deeper and unbiased functional understanding of the immune response to heart disease, highlighting the importance of such knowledge as the basis for promoting regeneration following cardiac injury in human patients.
