[PMID: 38065671 PMCID: PMC10836288 DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2023.2283195] [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: 05/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac sympathetic hyperinnervation after myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with arrhythmogenesis and sudden cardiac death. The characteristics of cardiac sympathetic hyperinnervation remain underexposed. OBJECTIVE To provide a systematic review on cardiac sympathetic hyperinnervation after MI, taking into account: (1) definition, experimental model and quantification method and (2) location, amount and timing, in order to obtain an overview of current knowledge and to expose gaps in literature. METHODS References on cardiac sympathetic hyperinnervation were screened for inclusion. The included studies received a full-text review and quality appraisal. Relevant data on hyperinnervation were collected and qualitatively analysed. RESULTS Our literature search identified 60 eligible studies performed between 2000 and 2022. Cardiac hyperinnervation is generally defined as an increased sympathetic nerve density or increased number of nerves compared to another control group (100%). Studies were performed in a multitude of experimental models, but most commonly in male rats with permanent left anterior descending (LAD) artery ligation (male: 63%, rat: 68%, permanent ligation: 93%, LAD: 97%). Hyperinnervation seems to occur mainly in the borderzone. Quantification after MI was performed in regions of interest in µm2/mm2 (41%) or in percentage of nerve fibres (46%) and the reported amount showed a great variation ranging from 439 to 126,718 µm2/mm2. Hyperinnervation seems to start from three days onwards to >3 months without an evident peak, although studies on structural evaluation over time and in the chronic phase were scarce. CONCLUSIONS Cardiac sympathetic hyperinnervation after MI occurs mainly in the borderzone from three days onwards and remains present at later timepoints, for at least 3 months. It is most commonly studied in male rats with permanent LAD ligation. The amount of hyperinnervation differs greatly between studies, possibly due to differential quantification methods. Further studies are required that evaluate cardiac sympathetic hyperinnervation over time and in the chronic phase, in transmural sections, in the female sex, and in MI with reperfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal denervation (RDN) can reduce ventricular arrhythmia after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but the mechanism is not clear. The purpose of this study is to study its mechanism. METHODS Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: control group, AMI group, RDN-1d + AMI group, RDN-2w + AMI group. The AMI model was established 1 day after RDN in the RDN-1d + AMI group and 2 weeks after RDN in the RDN-2w + AMI group. At the same time, 8 normal rats were subjected to AMI modelling (the AMI group). The control group consisted of 8 rats without RDN intervention or AMI modelling. RESULTS The study confirmed that RDN can reduce the occurrence of ventricular tachycardia in AMI rats, reduce renal sympathetic nerve discharge, and inhibit the activity of local sympathetic nerves and cell growth factor (NGF) protein expression in the heart after AMI. In addition, RDN decreased the expression of norepinephrine (NE) and glutamate in the hypothalamus,and NE in cerebrospinal fluid, and increased the expression level of γ aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the hypothalamus after AMI. CONCLUSION RDN can effectively reduce the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmia after AMI, and its main mechanism may be via the inhibition of central sympathetic nerve discharge.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction or pressure overload leads to cardiac fibrosis, the leading cause of heart failure. ADAMTS8 (A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 8) has been reported to be involved in many fibrosis-related diseases. However, the specific role of ADAMTS8 in cardiac fibrosis caused by myocardial infarction or pressure overload is yet unclear. The present study aimed to explore the function of ADAMTS8 in cardiac fibrosis and its underlying mechanism. ADAMTS8 expression was significantly increased in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy; its expression myocardial infarction and TAC rat models was also increased, accompanied by increased expression of α-SMA and Collagen1. Adenovirus-mediated overexpression of ADAMTS8 through cardiac in situ injection aggravated cardiac fibrosis and impaired cardiac function in the myocardial infarction rat model. Furthermore, in vitro studies revealed that ADAMTS8 promoted the activation of cardiac fibroblasts; ADAMTS8 acted as a paracrine mediator allowing for cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts to communicate indirectly. Our findings showed that ADAMTS8 could damage the mitochondrial function of cardiac fibroblasts and then activate the PI3K-Akt pathway and MAPK pathways, promoting up-regulation of YAP expression, with EGFR upstream of this pathway. This study systematically revealed the pro-fibrosis effect of ADAMTS8 in cardiac fibrosis and explored its potential role as a therapeutic target for the treatment of cardiac fibrosis and heart failure.

Abstract
The stellate ganglion (SG) of the autonomic nervous system plays important role in cardiovascular diseases (CDs). Myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with sustained increasing cardiac sympathetic nerve activity. Expressions and functions of proteins in SG tissue after MI are remaining unclear. This study is to explore the expression characteristics of proteins in SGs associated with MI. Japanese big-ear white rabbits (n = 22) were randomly assigned to the control group and MI group. The MI model was established by left anterior descending coronary artery ligation and confirmed by serum myocardial enzymes increasing 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium (TTC) staining and echocardiography. The expressions of proteins in rabbit SGs after MI were detected using tandem mass tags (TMT) quantitative proteomic sequencing. There were 3,043 credible proteins were predicted in rabbit SG tissues and 383 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) including 143 upregulated and 240 downregulated proteins. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis showed that the DEPs involved in adrenergic signaling in cardiomyocytes, positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade, and other biological processes. Three kinds of proteins directly correlated to CDs were selected to be validated by the subsequent western blot experiment. This study first identified the characterization of proteins in rabbit SG after MI, which laid a solid foundation for revealing the mechanism of roles of SG on the MI process.

Effects of Yiqi Huoxue Decoction on Post-Myocardial Infarction Cardiac Nerve Remodeling and Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy in Rats. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:5168574. [PMID: 34471416 PMCID: PMC8405294 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5168574] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Myocardial infarction can lead to ventricular remodeling and arrhythmia, which is closely related to nerve remodeling. Our previous study found that Yiqi Huoxue decoction (YQHX) can improve ventricular remodeling and reduce myocardial damage. Therefore, in this study, we observed the effect of YQHX on cardiac neural remodeling and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and its possible mechanism. This research is composed of two parts: animal and H9c2 cells experiments. The animal model of acute myocardial infarction was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. H9c2 cells were placed in 94% N2, 5% CO2, and 1% O2 hypoxic environment for 12 hours to replicate the hypoglycemic hypoxia model. The experimental results showed that, compared with the MI group, YQHX can significantly improve heart function after myocardial infarction and reduce nerve remodeling and myocardial hypertrophy. Pathological structure observation demonstrated reducing myocardial tissue damage and decreasing of cell cross-sectional area, diameter, and circumference. The positive rate of TH declined apparently, and the sympathetic nerve density was lower than that of the MI group. After YQHX was given for 28 days, the proneural remodeling factors TH, NGF, and GAP43 in the marginal zone of infarction and stellate ganglion decreased obviously while the inhibitory nerve remodeling factor Sema-3A increased. The myocardial hypertrophic protein ANP and β-MHC were also significantly inhibited with p-ERK1/2 protein expression level prominently reduced. There was no difference between the YQHX group and the Meto group. After myocardial infarction, nerve remodeling was seen in the marginal area of infarction and stellate ganglion, and the neuropeptides released by which promoted myocardial hypertrophy. The mechanism may be related to the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. YQHX could regulate the ERK1/2 signaling pathway, inhibit the release of nerve remodeling factors and myocardial hypertrophy protein to reduce nerve remodeling, and relieve myocardial hypertrophy.

MICAL2 is essential for myogenic lineage commitment. Cell Death Dis 2020; 11:654.

Abstract
Contractile myofiber units are mainly composed of thick myosin and thin actin (F-actin) filaments. F-Actin interacts with Microtubule Associated Monooxygenase, Calponin And LIM Domain Containing 2 (MICAL2). Indeed, MICAL2 modifies actin subunits and promotes actin filament turnover by severing them and preventing repolymerization. In this study, we found that MICAL2 increases during myogenic differentiation of adult and pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) towards skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle cells and localizes in the nucleus of acute and chronic regenerating muscle fibers. In vivo delivery of Cas9–Mical2 guide RNA complexes results in muscle actin defects and demonstrates that MICAL2 is essential for skeletal muscle homeostasis and functionality. Conversely, MICAL2 upregulation shows a positive impact on skeletal and cardiac muscle commitments. Taken together these data demonstrate that modulations of MICAL2 have an impact on muscle filament dynamics and its fine-tuned balance is essential for the regeneration of muscle tissues.

Abstract
Atrial fibrosis, the hallmark of structural remodeling associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), is characterized by abnormal proliferation of atrial fibroblasts and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/activin receptor-like kinase 5 (ALK5)/Smad2/3/4 pathway has been reported to be involved in the process. Recent studies have implicated both activin A and its specific downstream component activin receptor-like kinase 4 (ALK4) in stimulating fibrosis in non-cardiac organs. We recently reported that ALK4 haplodeficiency attenuated the pressure overload- and myocardial infarction-induced ventricular fibrosis. However, the role of activin A/ALK4 in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrosis and vulnerability to AF remains unknown. Our study provided experimental and clinical evidence for the involvement of activin A and ALK4 in the pathophysiology of atrial fibrosis and AF. Patients with AF had higher activin A and ALK4 expression in atriums as compared to individuals devoid of AF. After angiotensin-II (Ang-II) stimulation which mimicked atrial fibrosis progression, ALK4-deficient mice showed lower expression of ALK4 in atriums, reduced activation of atrial fibroblasts, blunted atrial enlargement and atrial fibrosis, and further reduced AF vulnerability upon right atrial electrophysiological studies as compared to wild-type littermates. Moreover, we found that apart from the well-known TGF-β1/ALK5 pathway, the activation of activin A/ALK4/smad2/3 pathway played an important role in the pathogenesis of Ang-II-mediated atrial fibrosis and inducibility of AF, suggesting that targeting ALK4 might be a potential therapy for atrial fibrosis and AF.

Abstract
Cytokinetic abscission is the terminal step of cell division, leading to the physical separation of the two daughter cells. The exact mechanism mediating the final scission of the intercellular bridge connecting the dividing cells is not fully understood, but requires the local constriction of endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-III-dependent helices, as well as remodelling of lipids and the cytoskeleton at the site of abscission. In particular, microtubules and actin filaments must be locally disassembled for successful abscission. However, the mechanism that actively removes actin during abscission is poorly understood. In this Commentary, we will focus on the latest findings regarding the emerging role of the MICAL family of oxidoreductases in F-actin disassembly and describe how Rab GTPases regulate their enzymatic activity. We will also discuss the recently reported role of MICAL1 in controlling F-actin clearance in the ESCRT-III-mediated step of cytokinetic abscission. In addition, we will highlight how two other members of the MICAL family (MICAL3 and MICAL-L1) contribute to cytokinesis by regulating membrane trafficking. Taken together, these findings establish the MICAL family as a key regulator of actin cytoskeleton dynamics and membrane trafficking during cell division.
