Up-regulation of miR-195 contributes to cardiac hypertrophy-induced arrhythmia by targeting calcium and potassium channels.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have confirmed that miR-195 expression is increased in cardiac hypertrophy, and the bioinformatics website predicted by Targetscan software shows that miR-195 can directly target CACNB1, KCNJ2 and KCND3 to regulate Cav?1, Kir2.1 and Kv4.3 proteins expression. The purpose of this study is to confirm the role of miR-195 in arrhythmia caused by cardiac hypertrophy. The protein levels of Cav?1, Kir2.1 and Kv4.3 in myocardium of HF mice were decreased. After miR-195 was overexpressed in neonatal mice cardiomyocytes, the expression of ANP, BNP and ?-MHC was up-regulated, and miR-195 inhibitor reversed this phenomenon. Overexpression of miR-195 reduced the estimated cardiac function of EF% and FS% in wild-type (WT) mice. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the ultrastructure of cardiac tissues was damaged after miR-195 overexpression by lentivirus in mice. miR-195 overexpression increased the likelihood of arrhythmia induction and duration of arrhythmia in WT mice. Lenti-miR-195 inhibitor carried by lentivirus can reverse the decreased EF% and FS%, the increased incidence of arrhythmia and prolonged duration of arrhythmia induced by TAC in mice. After miR-195 treatment, the protein expressions of Cav?1, Kir2.1 and Kv4.3 were decreased in mice. The results were consistent at animal and cellular levels, respectively. Luciferase assay results showed that miR-195 may directly target CACNB1, KCNJ2 and KCND3 to regulate the expression of Cav?1, Kir2.1 and Kv4.3 proteins. MiR-195 is involved in arrhythmia caused by cardiac hypertrophy by inhibiting Cav?1, Kir2.1 and Kv4.3.

Project description:BackgroundOxidative stress in cardiac disease promotes proarrhythmic disturbances in Ca2+ homeostasis, impairing luminal Ca2+ regulation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release channel, the RyR2 (ryanodine receptor), and increasing channel activity. However, exact mechanisms underlying redox-mediated increase of RyR2 function in cardiac disease remain elusive. We tested whether the oxidoreductase family of proteins that dynamically regulate the oxidative environment within the SR are involved in this process.MethodsA rat model of hypertrophy induced by thoracic aortic banding (TAB) was used for ex vivo whole heart optical mapping and for Ca2+ and reactive oxygen species imaging in isolated ventricular myocytes (VMs).ResultsThe SR-targeted reactive oxygen species biosensor ERroGFP showed increased intra-SR oxidation in TAB VMs that was associated with increased expression of Ero1α (endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductase 1 alpha). Pharmacological (EN460) or genetic Ero1α inhibition normalized SR redox state, increased Ca2+ transient amplitude and SR Ca2+ content, and reduced proarrhythmic spontaneous Ca2+ waves in TAB VMs under β-adrenergic stimulation (isoproterenol). Ero1α overexpression in Sham VMs had opposite effects. Ero1α inhibition attenuated Ca2+-dependent ventricular tachyarrhythmias in TAB hearts challenged with isoproterenol. Experiments in TAB VMs and human embryonic kidney 293 cells expressing human RyR2 revealed that an Ero1α-mediated increase in SR Ca2+-channel activity involves dissociation of intraluminal protein ERp44 (endoplasmic reticulum protein 44) from the RyR2 complex. Site-directed mutagenesis and molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated a novel redox-sensitive association of ERp44 with RyR2 mediated by intraluminal cysteine 4806. ERp44-RyR2 association in TAB VMs was restored by Ero1α inhibition, but not by reducing agent dithiothreitol, as hypo-oxidation precludes formation of covalent bond between RyR2 and ERp44.ConclusionsA novel axis of intraluminal interaction between RyR2, ERp44, and Ero1α has been identified. Ero1α inhibition exhibits promising therapeutic potential by stabilizing RyR2-ERp44 complex, thereby reducing spontaneous Ca2+ release and Ca2+-dependent tachyarrhythmias in hypertrophic hearts, without causing hypo-oxidative stress in the SR.

Project description:BackgroundPathological cardiac hypertrophy occurs in response to numerous stimuli and precedes heart failure (HF). Therapies that ameliorate pathological cardiac hypertrophy are highly needed.MethodsThe expression level of miR-30d was analyzed in hypertrophy models and serum of patients with chronic heart failure by qRT-PCR. Gain and loss-of-function experiments of miR-30d were performed in vitro. miR-30d gain of function were performed in vivo. Bioinformatics, western blot, luciferase assay, qRT-PCR, and immunofluorescence were performed to examine the molecular mechanisms of miR-30d.FindingsmiR-30d was decreased in both murine and neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) models of hypertrophy. miR-30d overexpression ameliorated phenylephrine (PE) and angiotensin II (Ang II) induced hypertrophy in NRCMs, whereas the opposite phenotype was observed when miR-30d was downregulated. Consistently, the miR-30d transgenic rat was found to protect against isoproterenol (ISO)-induced pathological hypertrophy. Mechanistically, methyltransferase EZH2 could promote H3K27me3 methylation in the promotor region of miR-30d and suppress its expression during the pathological cardiac hypertrophy. miR-30d prevented pathological cardiac hypertrophy via negatively regulating its target genes MAP4K4 and GRP78 and inhibiting pro-hypertrophic nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). Adeno-associated virus (AAV) serotype 9 mediated-miR-30d overexpression exhibited beneficial effects in murine hypertrophic model. Notably, miR-30d was reduced in serum of patients with chronic heart failure and miR-30d overexpression could significantly ameliorate pathological hypertrophy in human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.InterpretationOverexpression of miR-30d may be a potential approach to treat pathological cardiac hypertrophy.FundingThis work was supported by the grants from National Key Research and Development Project (2018YFE0113500 to J Xiao), National Natural Science Foundation of China (82020108002 to J Xiao, 81900359 to J Li), the grant from Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality (20DZ2255400 and 21XD1421300 to J Xiao, 22010500200 to J Li), Shanghai Sailing Program (19YF1416400 to J Li), the "Dawn" Program of Shanghai Education Commission (19SG34 to J Xiao), the "Chen Guang" project supported by the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission and Shanghai Education Development Foundation (19CG45 to J Li).
