NOX2-derived reactive oxygen species are crucial for CD29-induced pro-survival signalling in cardiomyocytes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The highly expressed cell adhesion receptor CD29 (?(1)-integrin) is essential for cardiomyocyte growth and survival, and its loss of function causes severe heart disease. However, CD29-induced signalling in cardiomyocytes is ill defined and may involve reactive oxygen species (ROS). A decisive source of cardiac ROS is the abundant NADPH oxidase (NOX) isoform NOX2. Because understanding of NOX-derived ROS in the heart is still poor, we sought to test the role of ROS and NOX in CD29-induced survival signalling in cardiomyocytes.

Methods and results

In neonatal rat ventricular myocytes, CD29 activation induced intracellular ROS formation (oxidative burst) as assessed by flow cytometry using the redox-sensitive fluorescent dye dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate. This burst was inhibited by apocynin and diphenylene iodonium. Further, activation of CD29 enhanced NOX activity (lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence) and activated the MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt survival pathways. CD29 also induced phosphorylation of the inhibitory Ser9 on the pro-apoptotic kinase glycogen synthase kinase-3? in a PI3K/Akt- and MEK-dependent manner, and improved cardiomyocyte viability under conditions of oxidative stress. The ROS scavenger MnTMPyP or adenoviral co-overexpression of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase inhibited CD29-induced pro-survival signalling. Further, CD29-induced protective pathways were lost in mouse cardiomyocytes deficient for NOX2 or functional p47(phox), a regulatory subunit of NOX.

Conclusion

p47(phox)-dependent, NOX2-derived ROS are mandatory for CD29-induced pro-survival signalling in cardiomyocytes. These findings go in line with a growing body of evidence suggesting that ROS can be beneficial to the cell and support a crucial role for NOX2-derived ROS in cell survival in the heart.

Project description:BackgroundReactive oxygen species (ROS) often promote acute brain injury after stroke, but their roles in the recovery phase have not been well studied. We tested the hypothesis that ROS activity mediated by NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) contributes to acute brain injury but promotes functional recovery during the delayed phase, which is linked with neuroinflammation, autophagy, angiogenesis, and the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.MethodsWe used the NOX2 inhibitor apocynin to study the role of NOX2 in brain injury and functional recovery in a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) stroke mouse model. Infarct size, neurological deficits and behavior were evaluated on days 3, 7, 10 and 14 after reperfusion. In addition, dynamic NOX2-induced ROS levels were measured by dihydroethidium (DHE) staining. Autophagy, inflammasomes, and angiogenesis were measured by immunofluorescence staining and western blotting. RNA sequencing was performed, and bioinformatics technology was used to analyze differentially expressed genes (DEGs), as well as the enrichment of biological functions and signaling pathways in ischemia penumbra at 7 days after reperfusion. Then, Akt pathway-related proteins were further evaluated by western blotting.ResultsOur results showed that apocynin injection attenuated infarct size and mortality 3 days after stroke but promoted mortality and blocked functional recovery from 5 to 14 days after stroke. DHE staining showed that ROS levels were increased at 3 days after reperfusion and then gradually declined in WT mice, and these levels were significantly reduced by the NOX2 inhibitor apocynin. RNA-Seq analysis indicated that apocynin activated the immune response under hypoxic conditions. The immunofluorescence and western blot results demonstrated that apocynin inhibited the NLRP3 inflammasome and promoted angiogenesis at 3 days but promoted the NLRP3 inflammasome and inhibited angiogenesis at 7 and 14 days after stroke, which was mediated by regulating autophagy activation. Furthermore, RNA-Seq and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis indicated that apocynin injection resulted in PI3K-Akt signaling pathway enrichment after 7 days of MCAO. We then used an animal model to show that apocynin decreased the protein levels of phosphorylated PI3K and Akt and NF-κB p65, confirming that the PI3K-Akt-NF-κB pathway is involved in apocynin-mediated activation of inflammation and inhibition of angiogenesis.ConclusionsNOX2-induced ROS production is a double-edged sword that exacerbates brain injury in the acute phase but promotes functional recovery. This effect appears to be achieved by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation and promoting angiogenesis via autophagy activation.

Project description:BackgroundHyperglycemia can blunt the cardioprotective effects of isoflurane in the setting of ischemia-reperfusion injury. Previous studies suggest that reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increased mitochondrial fission play a role in cardiomyocyte death during ischemia-reperfusion injury. To investigate the role of glucose concentration in ROS production and mitochondrial fission during ischemia-reperfusion (with and without anesthetic protection), we used the novel platform of human-induced pluripotent stem-cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs).MethodsCardiomyocyte differentiation from iPSC was characterized by the expression of CM-specific markers using immunohistochemistry and by measuring contractility. iPSC-CMs were exposed to varying glucose conditions (5, 11, and 25 mM) for 24 hours. Mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening, cell viability, and ROS generation endpoints were used to assess the effects of various treatment conditions. Mitochondrial fission was monitored by the visualization of fragmented mitochondria using confocal microscopy. Expression of activated dynamin-related protein 1, a key protein responsible for mitochondrial fission, was assessed by Western blot.ResultsCardiomyocytes were successfully differentiated from iPSC. Elevated glucose conditions (11 and 25 mM) significantly increased ROS generation, whereas only the 25-mM high glucose condition induced mitochondrial fission and increased the expression of activated dynamin-related protein 1 in iPSC-CMs. Isoflurane delayed mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening and protected iPSC-CMs from oxidative stress in 5- and 11-mM glucose conditions to a similar level as previously observed in various isolated animal cardiomyocytes. Scavenging ROS with Trolox or inhibiting mitochondrial fission with mdivi-1 restored the anesthetic cardioprotective effects in iPSC-CMs in 25-mM glucose conditions.ConclusionsHuman iPSC-CM is a useful, relevant model for studying isoflurane cardioprotection and can be manipulated to recapitulate complex clinical perturbations. We demonstrate that the cardioprotective effects of isoflurane in elevated glucose conditions can be restored by scavenging ROS or inhibiting mitochondrial fission. These findings may contribute to further understanding and guidance for restoring pharmacological cardioprotection in hyperglycemic patients.
