Irisin attenuates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion?induced cardiac dysfunction by regulating ER?mitochondria interaction through a mitochondrial ubiquitin ligase?dependent mechanism

ABSTRACT: Abstract Background Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury imposes devastating cardiovascular sequelae in particular cardiac dysfunction as a result of restored blood flow. However, the mechanism behind MI/R injury remains elusive. Mitochondrial ubiquitin ligase (MITOL/MARCH5) is localized at the mitochondria?ER contact site and may be activated in response to a variety of pathophysiological processes, such as apoptosis, mitochondrial injury, ER stress, hypoxia, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Irisin as a cleaved product of fibronectin type III domain?containing protein 5 (FNDC5) displays cardioprotection in diverse cardiac diseases. Methods This study was designed to examine the role of irisin and MITOL in MI/R injury. Male C57BL/6J mice (8?10?week?old) were administered adenovirus MITOL shRNA through intracardiac injection followed by MI/R surgery through ligation and release the slipknot of cardiac left anterior descending coronary artery. Results Our results showed that irisin improved myocardial function in the face of MI/R injury as evidenced by reduced myocardial infarct size, apoptotic rate, serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), ROS generation, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels as well as lessened ER stress injury. Moreover, our results indicated that protective role of irisin was mediated by upregulation of MITOL. Irisin also protected H9c2 cells against simulated I/R through negating ER stress, apoptosis, ROS and MDA levels, as well as facilitating superoxide dismutase (SOD) by way of elevated MITOL expression. Conclusions To this end, our data favored that irisin pretreatment protects against MI/R injury, ER stress, ROS production, and mitochondrial homeostasis through upregulation of MITOL. These findings depicted the therapeutic potential of irisin and MITOL in the management of MI/R injury in patients with ST?segment elevation. Irisin improves cardiac function against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury, decreases apoptosis and myocardial infarct size following MI/R injury, alleviates reactive oxygen species (ROS) production following MI/R injury, and protects against MI/R injury, ER stress, and mitochondrial homeostasis through upregulation of MITOL

Project description:Aims: The inflammatory response and apoptosis are the major pathological features of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI). Maslinic acid (MA), a natural pentacyclic triterpene with various bioactivities, plays critical roles in the multiple cellular biological processes, but its protective effects on the pathophysiological processes of MI/RI have not been extensively investigated. Our study aimed to determine whether MA treatment alleviate ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced myocardial inflammation and apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo, and further reveal the underlying mechanisms. Methods and results: An MI/RI rat model was successfully established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery and H9c2 cells were exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) to mimic I/R injury. In addition, prior to H/R stimulation or myocardial I/R operation, the H9c2 cells or rats were treated with varying concentrations of MA or vehicle for 24 h and two consecutive days, respectively. In this study, our results showed that MA could obviously increase the cell viability and decrease the cardiac enzymes release after H/R in vitro. MA could significantly improve the H/R-induced cardiomyocyte injury and I/R-induced myocardial injury in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, MA suppressed the expression of inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α, interleukin-1β [IL-1β and interleukin-6 [IL-6]) and the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins (cleaved caspase-3 and Bax) as well as increased the levels of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 expression both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, MA significantly inhibited nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 after H/R via regulating high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)/toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) axis. Conclusion: Taken together, MA treatment may alleviate MI/RI by suppressing both the inflammation and apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner, and the cardioprotective effect of MA may be partly attributable to the inactivation of HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB pathway, which offers a new therapeutic strategy for MI/RI.

Project description:ObjectiveHumanin (HN), an endogenous antiapoptotic peptide, has previously been shown to protect against Alzheimer's disease and a variety of cellular insults. We evaluated the effects of a potent analog of HN (HNG) in an in vivo murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion.Methods and resultsMale C57BL6/J mice (8 to 10 week old) were subjected to 45 minutes of left coronary artery occlusion followed by a 24-hour reperfusion. HNG or vehicle was administered IP 1 hour prior or at the time of reperfusion. The extent of myocardial infarction per area-at-risk was evaluated at 24 hours using Evans Blue dye and 2-3-5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining. Left ventricular function was evaluated at 1 week after ischemia using high-resolution, 2D echocardiography (VisualSonics Vevo 770). Myocardial cell signaling pathways and apoptotic markers were assessed at various time points (0 to 24 hours) following reperfusion. Cardiomyocyte survival and apoptosis in response to HNG were assessed in vitro. HNG reduced infarct size relative to the area-at-risk in a dose-dependent fashion, with a maximal reduction at the dose of 2 mg/kg. HNG therapy enhanced left ventricular ejection fraction and preserved postischemic left ventricular dimensions (end-diastolic and end-systolic), resulting in improved cardiac function. Treatment with HNG significantly increased phosphorylation of AMPK and phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase in the heart and attenuated Bcl-2-associated X protein and B-cell lymphoma-2 levels following myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. HNG improved cardiomyocyte survival and decreased apoptosis in response to daunorubicin in vitro.ConclusionsThese data show that HNG provides cardioprotection in a mouse model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion potentially through activation of AMPK-endothelial nitric oxide synthase-mediated signaling and regulation of apoptotic factors. HNG may represent a novel agent for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction.
