Cardioprotection by isosteviol derivate JC105: A unique drug property to activate ERK1/2 only when cells are exposed to hypoxia-reoxygenation.

ABSTRACT: In the present study, we have investigated potential cardioprotective properties of Isosteviol analogue we recently synthesized and named JC105. Treatment of heart embryonic H9c2 cells with JC105 (10 ?M) significantly increased survival of cells exposed to hypoxia-reoxygenation. JC105 (10 ?M) activated ERK1/2, DRP1 and increased levels of cardioprotective SUR2A in hypoxia-reoxygenation, but did not have any effects on ERK1/2, DRP1 and/or SUR2A in normoxia. U0126 (10 ?M) inhibited JC105-mediated phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and DRP1 without affecting AKT or AMPK, which were also not regulated by JC105. Seahorse bioenergetic analysis demonstrated that JC105 (10 ?M) did not affect mitochondria at rest, but it counteracted all mitochondrial effects of hypoxia-reoxygenation. Cytoprotection afforded by JC105 was inhibited by U0126 (10 ?M). Taken all together, these demonstrate that (a) JC105 protects H9c2 cells against hypoxia-reoxygenation and that (b) this effect is mediated via ERK1/2. The unique property of JC105 is that selectively activates ERK1/2 in cells exposed to stress, but not in cells under non-stress conditions.

Project description:ObjectiveIschemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) is the leading cause of heart failure. Proteomic and genomic studies have demonstrated ischemic preconditioning (IPC) can assert cardioprotection against ICM through mitochondrial function regulation. Considering IPC is conducted in a relatively brief period, regulation of protein expression also occurs very rapidly, highlighting the importance of protein function modulation by post-translational modifications. This study aimed to identify and analyze novel phosphorylated mitochondrial proteins that can be harnessed for therapeutic strategies for preventing ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.MethodsSprague-Dawley rat hearts were used in an ex vivo Langendorff system to simulate normal perfusion, I/R, and IPC condition, after which the samples were prepared for phosphoproteomic analysis. Employing human cardiomyocyte AC16 cells, we investigated the cardioprotective role of CKMT2 through overexpression and how site-directed mutagenesis of putative CKMT2 phosphorylation sites (Y159A, Y255A, and Y368A) can affect cardioprotection by measuring CKMT2 protein activity, mitochondrial function and protein expression changes.ResultsThe phosphoproteomic analysis revealed dephosphorylation of mitochondrial creatine kinase (CKMT2) during ischemia and I/R, while preserving its phosphorylated state during IPC. CKMT2 overexpression conferred cardioprotection against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) by increasing cell viability and mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate level, preserving mitochondrial membrane potential, and reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, while phosphomutations, especially in Y368, nullified cardioprotection by significantly reducing cell viability and increasing ROS production during H/R. CKMT2 overexpression increased mitochondrial function by mediating the proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α/estrogen-related receptor-α pathway, and these effects were mostly inhibited by Y368A mutation.ConclusionThese results suggest that regulation of quantitative expression and phosphorylation site Y368 of CKMT2 offers a unique mechanism in future ICM therapeutics.

Project description:Background and purposeCellular debris causes sterile inflammation after myocardial infarction. Mitochondria constitute about 30 percent of the human heart. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a damage-associated-molecular-pattern that induce injurious sterile inflammation. Little is known about mtDNA's inflammatory signalling pathways in cardiomyocytes and how mtDNA is internalized to associate with its putative receptor, toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9).Experimental approachWe hypothesized that mtDNA can be internalized in cardiomyocytes and induce an inflammatory response. Adult mouse cardiomyocytes were exposed to hypoxia-reoxygenation and extracellular DNA. Microscale thermophoresis was used to demonstrate binding between nucleolin and DNA.Key resultsExpression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNFα were upregulated by mtDNA, but not by nuclear DNA (nDNA), in cardiomyocytes exposed to hypoxia-reoxygenation. Blocking the RNA/DNA binding protein nucleolin with midkine reduced expression of IL-1β/TNFα and the nucleolin inhibitor AS1411 reduced interleukin-6 release in adult mouse cardiomyocytes. mtDNA bound 10-fold stronger than nDNA to nucleolin. In HEK293-NF-κB reporter cells, mtDNA induced NF-κB activity in normoxia, while CpG-DNA and hypoxia-reoxygenation, synergistically induced TLR9-dependent NF-κB activity. Protein expression of nucleolin was found in the plasma membrane of cardiomyocytes and inhibition of nucleolin with midkine inhibited cellular uptake of CpG-DNA. Inhibition of endocytosis did not reduce CpG-DNA uptake in cardiomyocytes.Conclusion and implicationsmtDNA, but not nDNA, induce an inflammatory response in mouse cardiomyocytes during hypoxia-reoxygenation. In cardiomyocytes, nucleolin is expressed on the membrane and blocking nucleolin reduce inflammation. Nucleolin might be a therapeutic target to prevent uptake of immunogenic DNA and reduce inflammation.Linked articlesThis article is part of a themed section on Mitochondrial Pharmacology: Featured Mechanisms and Approaches for Therapy Translation.
