During progression of atherosclerosis, myeloid cells destabilize lipid-rich plaques in the arterial wall and cause their rupture, thus triggering myocardial infarction and stroke. Survivors of acute coronary syndromes have a high risk of recurrent events for unknown reasons. Here we show that the systemic response to ischaemic injury aggravates chronic atherosclerosis. After myocardial infarction or stroke, Apoe-/- mice developed larger atherosclerotic lesions with a more advanced morphology. Th ...[more]

Project description:Atherosclerotic animal models show increased recruitment of inflammatory cells to the heart after myocardial infarction (MI), which impacts ventricular function and remodeling.The purpose of this study was to determine whether increased myocardial inflammation after MI also contributes to arrhythmias.MI was created in 3 mouse models: (1) atherosclerotic (apolipoprotein E deficient [ApoE(-/-)] on atherogenic diet, n = 12); (2) acute inflammation (wild-type [WT] given daily lipopolysaccharide [LPS] 10 ?g/day, n = 7); and (3) WT (n = 14). Sham-operated (n = 4) mice also were studied. Four days post-MI, an inflammatory protease-activatable fluorescent probe (Prosense680) was injected intravenously to quantify myocardial inflammation on day 5. Optical mapping with voltage-sensitive dye was performed on day 5 to assess electrophysiology and arrhythmia susceptibility.Inflammatory activity (Prosense680 fluorescence) was increased approximately 2-fold in ApoE+MI and LPS+MI hearts vs WT+MI (P<.05) and 3-fold vs sham (P<.05). ApoE+MI and LPS+MI hearts also had prolonged action potential duration, slowed conduction velocity, and increased susceptibility to pacing-induced arrhythmias (56% and 71% vs 13% for WT+MI and 0% for sham, respectively, P<.05, for ApoE+MI and LPS+MI groups vs both WT+MI and sham). Increased macrophage accumulation in ApoE+MI and LPS+MI hearts was confirmed by immunofluorescence. Macrophages were associated with areas of connexin43 (Cx43) degradation, and a 2-fold decrease in Cx43 expression was found in ApoE+MI vs WT+MI hearts (P<.05). ApoE+MI hearts also had a 3-fold increase in interleukin-1? expression, an inflammatory cytokine known to degrade Cx43.Underlying atherosclerosis exacerbates post-MI electrophysiological remodeling and arrhythmias. LPS+MI hearts fully recapitulate the atherosclerotic phenotype, suggesting myocardial inflammation as a key contributor to post-MI arrhythmia.

Project description:Disruption of systemic homeostasis by either chronic or acute stressors, such as obesity1 or surgery2, alters cancer pathogenesis. Patients with cancer, particularly those with breast cancer, can be at increased risk of cardiovascular disease due to treatment toxicity and changes in lifestyle behaviors3-5. While elevated risk and incidence of cardiovascular events in breast cancer is well established, whether such events impact cancer pathogenesis is not known. Here we show that myocardial infarction (MI) accelerates breast cancer outgrowth and cancer-specific mortality in mice and humans. In mouse models of breast cancer, MI epigenetically reprogrammed Ly6Chi monocytes in the bone marrow reservoir to an immunosuppressive phenotype that was maintained at the transcriptional level in monocytes in both the circulation and tumor. In parallel, MI increased circulating Ly6Chi monocyte levels and recruitment to tumors and depletion of these cells abrogated MI-induced tumor growth. Furthermore, patients with early-stage breast cancer who experienced cardiovascular events after cancer diagnosis had increased risk of recurrence and cancer-specific death. These preclinical and clinical results demonstrate that MI induces alterations in systemic homeostasis, triggering cross-disease communication that accelerates breast cancer.

Project description:Diabetes increases mortality and accelerates left ventricular (LV) dysfunction following myocardial infarction (MI). This study sought to determine the impact of impaired myocardial insulin signaling, in the absence of diabetes, on the development of LV dysfunction following MI. Mice with cardiomyocyte-restricted knock out of the insulin receptor (CIRKO) and wildtype (WT) mice were subjected to proximal left coronary artery ligation (MI) and followed for 14 days. Despite equivalent infarct size, mortality was increased in CIRKO-MI vs. WT-MI mice (68% vs. 40%, respectively). In surviving mice, LV ejection fraction and dP/dt were reduced by >40% in CIRKO-MI vs. WT-MI. Relative to shams, isometric developed tension in LV papillary muscles increased in WT-MI but not in CIRKO-MI. Time to peak tension and relaxation times were prolonged in CIRKO-MI vs. WT-MI suggesting impaired, load-independent myocardial contractile function. To elucidate mechanisms for impaired LV contractility, mitochondrial function was examined in permeabilized cardiac fibers. Whereas maximal ADP-stimulated mitochondrial O(2) consumption rates (V(ADP)) with palmitoyl carnitine were unchanged in WT-MI mice relative to sham-operated animals, V(ADP) was significantly reduced in CIRKO-MI (13.17+/-0.94 vs. 9.14+/-0.88 nmol O(2)/min/mgdw, p<0.05). Relative to WT-MI, expression levels of GLUT4, PPAR-alpha, SERCA2, and the FA-Oxidation genes MCAD, LCAD, CPT2 and the electron transfer flavoprotein ETFDH were repressed in CIRKO-MI. Thus reduced insulin action in cardiac myocytes accelerates post-MI LV dysfunction, due in part to a rapid decline in mitochondrial FA oxidative capacity, which combined with limited glucose transport capacity that may reduce substrate utilization and availability.

Project description:Disruptions of systemic homeostasis have emerged as critical regulators of cancer. Recent studies indicate that chronic or acute host stressors (e.g., obesity1, surgery2) alter cancer pathogenesis. Many cancer patients, particularly those with breast cancer, are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease due to treatment toxicity and resulting changes in lifestyle behaviors3-5. While elevated risk and incidence of cardiovascular events in breast cancer is well-established, whether such events impact cancer pathogenesis is not known. Herein, we show that an incident myocardial infarction (MI or heart attack) accelerates breast cancer outgrowth and cancer-specific mortality in mice and humans. In mouse models of breast cancer, MI epigenetically reprogrammed Ly6Chigh monocytes in the bone marrow reservoir to an immunosuppressive phenotype that was maintained at the transcriptional level in monocytes in the circulation and tumor. In parallel, MI increased circulating Ly6Chigh monocyte levels and recruitment to tumors, and depletion of these cells abrogated MI-induced tumor growth. Furthermore, evaluation of the relationship between a new onset post-diagnosis cardiovascular event and cancer outcomes in early-stage breast cancer patients revealed increased risk of recurrence and cancer-specific death, highlighting the clinical relevance of our findings. Collectively, our results demonstrate that MI induces alterations to systemic homeostasis, triggering cross-disease communication that accelerates breast cancer.

Project description:Cell senescence is involved in the process of organ damage and repair; however, the underlying molecular mechanism needs to be further explored. Senescence-related genes (ie, p21, p53, and ataxia telangiectasia mutated [ATM]) were shown to be elevated after myocardial infarction (MI) in both mouse and human hearts. Ten- to 12-week-old male wild-type littermates (ATM+/+) and ATM heterozygous mice (ATM+/-) were subjected to MI. Cardiac echography showed that ATM haplodeficiency did not affect the survival rate but aggravated heart failure at day 28 post MI. Histologic analysis showed increased fibrosis in the noninfarct area of ATM+/- mice compared with that in ATM+/+ mice. Senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining showed that the number of senescent fibroblasts was decreased when ATM was haplodeficient both in vivo and in vitro. Costaining of α-smooth muscle actin with p53 or p19 showed fewer senescent myofibroblasts in ATM+/- mouse hearts. Moreover, angiogenesis was also examined using the endothelial markers CD31 both at early (day 7) and late stages (day 28) after MI, and ATM haplodeficiency reduced angiogenesis after MI. Finally, cardiac fibroblasts were isolated from infarcted mouse heart and the medium were tested for its capacity of endothelial tubing formation, revealing that ATM haplodeficiency led to lower vascular endothelial growth factor production from cardiac fibroblast and reduced capacity of endothelial tube formation in vitro. The present study shows that ATM haplodeficiency decreases fibroblast senescence and vascular endothelial growth factor production and impaired angiogenesis in response to MI, leading to accelerated heart failure.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Phospholipase (PL)D1 is crucial for integrin ?IIb?3 activation of platelets in arterial thrombosis and TNF-?-mediated inflammation and TGF-?-mediated collagen scar formation after myocardial infarction (MI) in mice. Enzymatic activity of PLD is not responsible for PLD-mediated TNF-? signaling and myocardial healing. The impact of PLD2 in ischemia reperfusion injury is unknown. METHODS:PLD2-deficient mice underwent myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). RESULTS:Enhanced integrin ?IIb?3 activation of platelets resulted in elevated interleukin (IL)-6 release from endothelial cells in vitro and enhanced IL-6 plasma levels after MI in PLD2-deficient mice. This was accompanied by enhanced migration of inflammatory cells into the infarct border zone and reduced TGF-? plasma levels after 72 h that might account for enhanced inflammation in PLD2-deficient mice. In contrast to PLD1, TNF-? signaling, infarct size and cardiac function 24 h after I/R were not altered when PLD2 was deleted. Furthermore, TGF-? plasma levels, scar formation and heart function were comparable between PLD2-deficient and control mice 21 days post MI. CONCLUSIONS:The present study contributes to our understanding about the role of PLD isoforms and altered platelet signaling in the process of myocardial I/R injury.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The dysregulated expressions of circulating miRNAs have been detected in various cardiovascular diseases. In our previous experiments, the altered expressions of circulating miRNA-21-5p, miRNA-361-5p and miRNA-519e-5p were confirmed in patients with coronary atherosclerosis by miRNA microarrays. However, the expression levels of these circulating miRNAs in the early phase of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are still unknown. In the present study, our aims were to examine the expressions of circulating miR-21-5p, miR-361-5p and miR-519e-5p in AMI patients, and assess their clinical applications for diagnosing and monitoring AMI. RESULTS: Two different cohorts were enrolled in this study. The first cohort included 17 AMI patients and 28 healthy volunteers, and the second cohort included 9 AMI patients, 9 ischemic stroke patients, 8 patients with pulmonary embolism, and 12 healthy volunteers. Quantitative real-time PCR and ELISA assays were preformed to detect the concentrations of plasma miRNAs and cardiac troponin I (cTnI), respectively. The results showed that the plasma levels of miR-21-5p and miR-361-5p were significantly increased in AMI patients, whereas the concentration of circulating miR-519e-5p was reduced. Interestingly, the levels of these circulating miRNAs correlated with the concentrations of plasma cTnI. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed that these three circulating miRNAs had considerable diagnostic accuracy for AMI with high values of area under ROC curve (AUC). Importantly, combining the three miRNAs significantly increased the diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, cell experiments demonstrated that these plasma miRNAs may originate from injured cardiomyocytes induced by hypoxia. In addition, the levels of all the three circulating miRNAs in ischemic stroke (IS) and pulmonary embolism (PE) were elevated, whereas the decreased level of plasma miR-519e-5p was only detected in AMI. ROC analysis demonstrated that circulating miR-519e-5p may be a useful biomarker for distinguishing AMI from other ischemic diseases. CONCLUSIONS: Circulating miRNAs may be novel and powerful biomarkers for AMI and they could be potential diagnostic tool for AMI.

Project description:Preclinical data suggest that an acute inflammatory response following myocardial infarction (MI) accelerates systemic atherosclerosis. Using combined positron emission and computed tomography, we investigated whether this phenomenon occurs in humans.Overall, 40 patients with MI and 40 with stable angina underwent thoracic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose combined positron emission and computed tomography scan. Radiotracer uptake was measured in aortic atheroma and nonvascular tissue (paraspinal muscle). In 1003 patients enrolled in the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events, we assessed whether infarct size predicted early (?30 days) and late (>30 days) recurrent coronary events. Compared with patients with stable angina, patients with MI had higher aortic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (tissue-to-background ratio 2.15±0.30 versus 1.84±0.18, P<0.0001) and plasma C-reactive protein concentrations (6.50 [2.00 to 12.75] versus 2.00 [0.50 to 4.00] mg/dL, P=0.0005) despite having similar aortic (P=0.12) and less coronary (P=0.006) atherosclerotic burden and similar paraspinal muscular 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (P=0.52). Patients with ST-segment elevation MI had larger infarcts (peak plasma troponin 32 300 [10 200 to >50 000] versus 3800 [1000 to 9200] ng/L, P<0.0001) and greater aortic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (2.24±0.32 versus 2.02±0.21, P=0.03) than those with non-ST-segment elevation MI. Peak plasma troponin concentrations correlated with aortic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (r=0.43, P=0.01) and, on multivariate analysis, independently predicted early (tertile 3 versus tertile 1: relative risk 4.40 [95% CI 1.90 to 10.19], P=0.001), but not late, recurrent MI.The presence and extent of MI is associated with increased aortic atherosclerotic inflammation and early recurrent MI. This finding supports the hypothesis that acute MI exacerbates systemic atherosclerotic inflammation and remote plaque destabilization: MI begets MI.URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
