Global phosphoproteomic profiling reveals perturbed signaling in a mouse model of dilated cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT: Phospholamban (PLN) plays a central role in Ca2+ homeostasis in cardiac myocytes through regulation of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2A (SERCA2A) Ca2+ pump. An inherited mutation converting arginine residue 9 in PLN to cysteine (R9C) results in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in humans and transgenic mice, but the downstream signaling defects leading to decompensation and heart failure are poorly understood. Here we used precision mass spectrometry to study the global phosphorylation dynamics of 1,887 cardiac phosphoproteins in early affected heart tissue in a transgenic R9C mouse model of DCM compared with wild-type littermates. Dysregulated phosphorylation sites were quantified after affinity capture and identification of 3,908 phosphopeptides from fractionated whole-heart homogenates. Global statistical enrichment analysis of the differential phosphoprotein patterns revealed selective perturbation of signaling pathways regulating cardiovascular activity in early stages of DCM. Strikingly, dysregulated signaling through the Notch-1 receptor, recently linked to cardiomyogenesis and embryonic cardiac stem cell development and differentiation but never directly implicated in DCM before, was a prominently perturbed pathway. We verified alterations in Notch-1 downstream components in early symptomatic R9C transgenic mouse cardiomyocytes compared with wild type by immunoblot analysis and confocal immunofluorescence microscopy. These data reveal unexpected connections between stress-regulated cell signaling networks, specific protein kinases, and downstream effectors essential for proper cardiac function.

Project description:Heart failure (HF) is a worldwide pandemic with an unacceptable high level of morbidity and mortality. Understanding the different pathophysiological mechanisms will contribute to prevention and individualized therapy of HF. We established mouse models for ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) by inducing myocardial infarction (MI) and Coxsackievirus B3 infection, respectively. Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation and liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry technology was used to identify the protein expression profiles in control and failing hearts. A total of 1,638 proteins were identified and compared in this proteomics analysis. Among them, 286 proteins were differently expressed. Gene ontology, KEGG pathway and ingenuity pathway analysis was performed to systematically assess the potential connections of the differentially expressed proteins to biological functions. Compared with control group, the differentially expressed proteins derived from the hearts of ICM and DCM mice were partially similar and mainly modulated in oxidative phosphorylation, metabolism and protein folding pathways. Moreover, difference still existed, the differentially expressed proteins between DCM and ICM hearts were significantly modulated in oxidative phosphorylation, metabolic and AMPK signaling pathways. Confirmatory western bolt analysis demonstrated that SDHB was down-regulated in both ICM and DCM hearts, while UQCRQ, GLUT4 and adiponectin were up-regulated in ICM hearts. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration significantly decreased in both DCM and ICM hearts. The protein expression of phospho-AMPK? decreased significantly in DCM hearts, but increased in ICM. In summary, oxidative phosphorylation, cardiac metabolism, and protein folding play critical roles in the pathogenesis of HF. The diverse changes in protein expression profiles between failing hearts induced by either MI or CVB3 infection demonstrated the heterogeneity of HF. Understanding the differences in proteome profiles could offer more precise therapeutic options for HF.

Project description:Analysis of the effects of aging on the development of dilated cardiomyopathy by characterizing both changes in ejection fraction (EF) and gene expression profile in 3 groups of male mice: Control (Cont or WT, n=11) and transgenic (Tg or KO) mice with either high EF (KO-H or Tg-H, n=7) or low EF (KO-L or Tg-L, n=6). We previously produced a line of transgenic mice (Tg) on a mixed genetic background where cardiac-specific overexpression of Cre recombinase reduced expression of the EP4 receptor gene. There were no obvious phenotypes in 10-12-week-old male Tg mice. To determine if a cardiac phenotype developed in aged mice, we assessed cardiac structure and function by echocardiography, histology and gene expression in 23-33-week-old male Tg and littermates (Cont). After echocardiography, hearts were removed to assess hypertrophy (MCSA), fibrosis (ICF) and macrophage infiltration by histological methods and for extraction of total RNA and protein. Cont mice had a normal EF of 80±0.6% (n=70), whereas Tg mice had a lower EF (60±2.7%, n=55, p<0.001) coupled with left ventricular dilatation. The distribution of EFs in the Tg mice was large, ranging from normal to below 30%. MCSA and infiltrating macrophages were not different between groups, but ICF increased by 35% in Tg mice. Cre protein levels in heart lysates did not correlate with either age or EF. In contrast to male Tg mice, female Tg mice had no cardiac dysfunction assessed by echocardiography from 12 to 28 weeks of age. To understand gene expression differences between Cont and Tg mice, whole genome gene expression profiling (Illumina BeadChips) on hearts of 30-32 week old male mice was done. Data indicated that 595 genes were overexpressed in the Tg hearts, 156 of which changed more than 2-fold, including genes involved in remodeling, inflammation, and oxidative stress. 512 genes were downregulated in the Cont hearts, 79 of which changed more than 2-fold, including genes involved with calcium handling, K+ channels, and fatty acid transport and metabolism. In conclusion, Cre overexpression and EP4 knock down in cardiac myocytes in aged male but not female Tg mice are in part associated with increased fibrosis, reduced EF and dilated cardiomyopathy; however, Cre protein itself does not seem to be responsible for the cardiomyopathy. The absence of cardiac dysfunction in female mice suggests a sexual dimorphism in the phenotype. Creation of the cardiac-myocyte specific EP4 KO mouse and littermate controls was described in JY Qian et al, Hypertension 2008: 51(pt 2):560-566.
