The role of TNF-alpha receptors p55 and p75 in acute myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and late preconditioning.

ABSTRACT: The specific role of TNF-alpha receptors I (TNFR-I, p55) and II (TNFR-II, p75) in myocardial ischemic injury remains unclear. Using genetically engineered mice, we examined the relative effects of TNF-alpha signaling via p55 and p75 in acute myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury under basal conditions and in late preconditioning (PC). Wild-type (WT) (C57BL/6 and B6,129) mice and mice lacking TNF-alpha (TNF-alpha(-/-)), p55 (p55(-/-)), p75 (p75(-/-)), or both receptors (p55(-/-)/p75(-/-)) underwent 30 min of coronary occlusion and 24 h of reperfusion with or without six cycles of 4-min coronary occlusion/4-min reperfusion (O/R) 24 h earlier (ischemic PC). Six cycles of O/R reduced infarct size 24 h later in WT mice, indicating a late PC effect. This late PC-induced infarct-sparing effect was abolished not only in TNF-alpha(-/-) and p55(-/-)/p75(-/-) mice, but also in p55(-/-) and p75(-/-) mice, indicating that TNF-alpha signaling via both p55 and p75 is necessary for the development of protection. In nonpreconditioned TNF-alpha(-/-), p55(-/-)/p75(-/-), and p75(-/-) mice, infarct size was similar to strain-matched WT mice. In contrast, infarct size in nonpreconditioned p55(-/-) mice was reduced compared with nonpreconditioned WT mice. We conclude that (i) unopposed p75 signaling (in the absence of p55) reduces infarct size following acute ischemia/reperfusion injury in naive myocardium, whereas unopposed p55 signaling (in the absence of p75) has no effect; and (ii) the development of the infarct-sparing effects of the late phase of PC requires nonredundant signaling via both p55 and p75 receptors. These findings reveal a fundamental, heretofore unrecognized, difference between the two TNF-alpha receptors in the setting of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury: that is, both p55 and p75 are necessary for the development of protection during late PC, but only signaling via p75 is protective in nonpreconditioned myocardium.

Project description:Little is known about the role of the neuropeptide somatostatin (SST) in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and cardioprotection. Here, we investigated the direct cardiocytoprotective effect of SST on ischemia/reperfusion injury in cardiomyocyte cultures, as well as the expression of SST and its receptors in pig and human heart tissues. SST induced a bell-shaped, concentration-dependent cardiocytoprotection in both adult rat primary cardiomyocytes and H9C2 cells subjected to simulated ischemia/reperfusion injury. Furthermore, in a translational porcine closed-chest acute myocardial infarction model, ischemic preconditioning increased plasma SST-like immunoreactivity. Interestingly, SST expression was detectable at the protein, but not at the mRNA level in the pig left ventricles. SSTR1 and SSTR2, but not the other SST receptors, were detectable at the mRNA level by PCR and sequencing in the pig left ventricle. Moreover, remote ischemic conditioning upregulated SSTR1 mRNA. Similarly, SST expression was also detectable in healthy human interventricular septum samples at the protein level. Furthermore, SST-like immunoreactivity decreased in interventricular septum samples of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. SSTR1, SSTR2, and SSTR5 but not SST and the other SST receptors were detectable at the mRNA level by sequencing in healthy human left ventricles. In addition, in healthy human left ventricle samples, SSTR1 and SSTR2 mRNAs were expressed especially in vascular endothelial and some other cell types as detected by RNA Scope® in situ hybridization. This is the first demonstration that SST exerts a direct cardiocytoprotective effect against simulated ischemia/reperfusion injury. Moreover, SST is expressed in the heart tissue at the peptide level; however, it is likely to be of sensory neural origin since its mRNA is not detectable. SSTR1 and SSTR2 might be involved in the cardioprotective action of SST, but other mechanisms cannot be excluded.

Project description:BackgroundIschemic heart diseases is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Although revascularization timely is an effective therapeutic intervention to salvage the ischemic myocardium, reperfusion itself causes additional myocardial injury called ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is one of the promising cells to alleviate ischemic myocardial injury. However, this cell therapy is limited by poor MSCs survival after transplantation. Here, we investigated whether sevoflurane preconditioning could promote MSCs to attenuate myocardial I/R injury via transient receptor potential canonical channel 6 (TRPC6)-induced angiogenesis.MethodsThe anti-apoptotic effect of sevoflurane preconditioning on MSCs was determined by Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide staining. TRPC6, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), Chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein expressions and VEGF release from MSCs were determined after hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R). Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to knock down TRPC6 gene expression in MSCs. The angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) co-cultured with MSCs was determined by Matrigel tube formation. Myocardial I/R mouse model was induced by occluding left anterior descending coronary artery for 30 min and then reperfusion. MSCs or sevoflurane preconditioned MSCs were injected around the ligature border zone 5 min before reperfusion. Left ventricle systolic function, infarction size, serum LDH, cTnI and inflammatory cytokines were determined after reperfusion.ResultsSevoflurane preconditioning up-regulated TRPC6, HIF-1α, CXCR4 and VEGF expressions in MSCs and VEGF release from MSCs under H/R, which were reversed by knockdown of TRPC6 gene using siRNA in MSCs. Furthermore, sevoflurane preconditioning promoted the angiogenic and anti-inflammatory effect of HUVECs co-cultured with MSCs. Sevoflurane preconditioned MSCs improved left ventricle systolic function and alleviated myocardial infarction and inflammation in mice subjected to I/R insult.ConclusionThe current findings reveal that sevoflurane preconditioned MSCs boost angiogenesis in HUVECs subjected to H/R insult and attenuate myocardial I/R injury, which may be mediated by TRPC6 up-regulated HIF-1α, CXCR4 and VEGF.
