Mitochondria to nucleus translocation of AIF in mice lacking Hsp70 during ischemia/reperfusion.

ABSTRACT: Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) has been shown to have an anti-apoptotic function, but its mechanism is not clear in heart. In this study, we examined the effect of Hsp70 deletion on AIF-induced apoptosis during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in vivo. Although Hsp70 KO and WT mice demonstrated similar amounts of AIF released from mitochondria after I/R surgery, Hsp70 KO mice showed a significantly greater increase in apoptosis, larger infarct size, and decreased cardiac output. There was also a significant fourfold increase in the nuclear accumulation of AIF in Hsp70 KO mice compared with WT mice. Treatment with 4-AN (4-amino-1,8-napthalimide, 3 mg/kg), a potent inhibitor of PARP-1, which is a critical regulator of AIF-induced apoptosis, significantly blocked the release of AIF from mitochondria and the translocation of AIF into the nuclei after I/R in both WT and Hsp70 KO mice. In addition, 4-AN treatment resulted in a significant inhibition of apoptosis, a reduction of infarct size, and attenuated cardiac dysfunction in both WT and Hsp70 KO mice after I/R. The anti-apoptotic function of Hsp70 occurs through the inhibition of AIF-induced apoptosis by blocking the mitochondria to nucleus translocation of AIF. PARP-1 inhibition improves cardiac function by blocking AIF-induced apoptosis.

Project description:p53 is a tumor suppressor protein with a very low content in the basal condition, but the content rapidly rises during stress conditions including ischemia-reperfusion. An increase in p53 content increases cardiac injury during ischemia-reperfusion. Since mitochondrial damage plays a key role in cardiac injury during ischemia-reperfusion, we asked if genetic ablation of p53 decreases cardiac injury by protecting mitochondria. Isolated, perfused hearts from cardiac specific p53 deletion or wild type underwent 25 min global ischemia at 37 °C and 60 min reperfusion. At the end of reperfusion, hearts were harvested for infarct size measurement. In separate groups, cardiac mitochondria were isolated at 30 min reperfusion. Time control hearts were buffer-perfused without ischemia. Compared to wild type, deletion of p53 improved cardiac functional recovery and decreased infarct size following ischemia-reperfusion. Oxidative phosphorylation was improved in p53 deletion mitochondria following ischemia-reperfusion compared to wild type. The net release of ROS generation from wild type but not in p53 deletion mitochondria was increased following ischemia-reperfusion. Peroxiredoxin 3 (PRDX 3) content was higher in p53 deletion than that in wild type, indicating that p53 deletion increases a key antioxidant. Ischemia-reperfusion led to increased spectrin cleavage (a marker of cytosolic calpain1 activation) in wild type but not in p53 deletion mice. Ischemia-reperfusion increased the truncation of mature AIF (apoptosis inducing factor, an indicator of mitochondrial calpain1 activation) in wild type but not in p53 deletion mice. The loss of cytochrome c from mitochondria was also decreased in p53 deletion following ischemia-reperfusion. Bcl-2 content was decreased in wild type but not in p53 deletion following reperfusion, suggesting that depletion of bcl-2 contributes to permeabilization of the mitochondrial outer membrane. Thus, deletion of p53 decreases cardiac injury by protecting mitochondria through attenuation of oxidative stress and calpain activation during ischemia-reperfusion.
