Protection against doxorubicin-induced myocardial dysfunction in mice by cardiac-specific expression of carboxyl terminus of hsp70-interacting protein.


ABSTRACT: Carboxyl terminus of Hsp70-interacting protein (CHIP) is a critical ubiquitin ligase/cochaperone to reduce cardiac oxidative stress, inflammation, cardiomyocyte apoptosis and autophage etc. However, it is unclear whether overexpression of CHIP in the heart would exert protective effects against DOX-induced cardiomyopathy. Cardiac-specific CHIP transgenic (CHIP-TG) mice and the wild-type (WT) littermates were treated with DOX or saline. DOX-induced cardiac atrophy, dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress and cardiomyocyte apoptosis were significantly attenuated in CHIP-TG mice. CHIP-TG mice also showed higher survival rate than that of WT mice (40% versus 10%) after 10-day administration of DOX. In contrast, knockdown of CHIP by siRNA in vitro further enhanced DOX-induced cardiotoxic effects. Global gene microarray assay revealed that after DOX-treatment, differentially expressed genes between WT and CHIP-TG mice were mainly involved in apoptosis, atrophy, immune/inflammation and oxidative stress. Mechanistically, CHIP directly promotes ubiquitin-mediated degradation of p53 and SHP-1, which results in activation of ERK1/2 and STAT3 pathways thereby ameliorating DOX-induced cardiac toxicity.
