Myeloperoxidase Inhibition Improves Ventricular Function and Remodeling After Experimental Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT: PF-1355 is an oral myeloperoxidase (MPO) inhibitor that successfully decreased elevated MPO activity in mouse myocardial infarction models. Short duration PF-1355 treatment for 7 days decreased the number of inflammatory cells and attenuated left ventricular dilation. Cardiac function and remodeling improved when treatment was increased to 21 days. Better therapeutic effect was further achieved with early compared with delayed treatment initiation (1 h vs. 24 h after infarction). In conclusion, PF-1355 treatment protected a mouse heart from acute and chronic effects of MI, and this study paves the way for future translational studies investigating this class of drugs in cardiovascular diseases.

Project description:Microvascular malperfusion after myocardial infarction leads to infarct expansion, adverse remodeling, and functional impairment. Native reparative mechanisms exist but are inadequate to vascularize ischemic myocardium. We hypothesized that a 3-dimensional human fibroblast culture (3DFC) functions as a sustained source of angiogenic cytokines, thereby augmenting native angiogenesis and limiting adverse effects of myocardial ischemia.Lewis rats underwent ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery to induce heart failure; experimental animals received a 3DFC scaffold to the ischemic region. Border-zone tissue was analyzed for the presence of human fibroblast surface protein, vascular endothelial growth factor, and hepatocyte growth factor. Cardiac function was assessed with echocardiography and pressure-volume conductance. Hearts underwent immunohistochemical analysis of angiogenesis by co-localization of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule and alpha smooth muscle actin and by digital analysis of ventricular geometry. Microvascular angiography was performed with fluorescein-labeled lectin to assess perfusion.Immunoblotting confirmed the presence of human fibroblast surface protein in rats receiving 3DFC, indicating survival of transplanted cells. Increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor in experimental rats confirmed elution by the 3DFC. Microvasculature expressing platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule/alpha smooth muscle actin was increased in infarct and border-zone regions of rats receiving 3DFC. Microvascular perfusion was also improved in infarct and border-zone regions in these rats. Rats receiving 3DFC had increased wall thickness, smaller infarct area, and smaller infarct fraction. Echocardiography and pressure-volume measurements showed that cardiac function was preserved in these rats.Application of a bioengineered 3DFC augments native angiogenesis through delivery of angiogenic cytokines to ischemic myocardium. This yields improved microvascular perfusion, limits infarct progression and adverse remodeling, and improves ventricular function.

Project description:Humans have a lower risk of death from myocardial infarction (MI) living at low elevations (<2500 m), which are not high enough to induce hypoxia. Both chronic hypoxia pre-MI, achieved by altitude simulation >5000 m, and intermittent hypobaric hypoxia post-MI can reduce MI size in rodents, and it is believed that hypoxia is the key stimulus. To explore mechanisms beyond hypoxia we studied whether altitude simulation <2500 m would also be associated with reduced infarct size. We performed left-anterior descending artery ligation on C57BL6 mice. Control mice (n = 12) recovered at 754 mmHg (atmospheric pressure, control), and treatment group mice (n = 13) were placed in a hypobaric chamber to recover 3-hours daily at 714 mmHg for 1 week. Echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular function was performed on Day 0, Day 1 and Day 8. Intermittent hypobaric treatment was associated with a 14.2±5.3% improvement in ejection fraction for treatment group mice (p<0.01 vs. Day 1), with no change observed in control mice. Cardiac output, stroke volume, and infarct size were also improved in treated mice, but no changes were observed in HIF-1 activation or neovascularization. Next, we studied the acute hemodynamic effects of low altitude stimulation in intact mice breathing 100% oxygen using left ventricular catheterization and recording of pressure-volume loops. Acute reductions in barometric pressure from 754 mmHg to 714 mmHg and 674 mmHg were associated with reduced systemic vascular resistance, increased stroke volume and cardiac output, and no change in blood pressure or heart rate. Ex-vivo vascular function was studied using murine mesenteric artery segments. Acute reductions in barometric pressure were associated with greater vascular distensibility. We conclude that intermittent hypobaric treatment using simulated altitudes <2500 m reduces infarct size and increases ventricular function post-MI, and that these changes are related to altered arterial function and not hypoxia-associated neovascularization.
