Sinapic Acid Inhibits Cardiac Hypertrophy via Activation of Mitochondrial Sirt3/SOD2 Signaling in Neonatal Rat Cardiomyocytes.

ABSTRACT: Sinapic acid (SA) is a naturally occurring phenolic compound with antioxidant properties. It also has a wide range of pharmacological properties, such as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and hepatoprotective properties. The present study aimed to evaluate the potential pharmacological effects of SA against hypertrophic responses in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. In order to evaluate the preventive effect of SA on cardiac hypertrophy, phenylephrine (PE)-induced hypertrophic cardiomyocytes were treated with subcytotoxic concentrations of SA. SA effectively suppressed hypertrophic responses, such as cell size enlargement, sarcomeric rearrangement, and fetal gene re-expression. In addition, SA significantly inhibited the expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) proteins as pro-hypertrophic factors and protected the mitochondrial functions from hypertrophic stimuli. Notably, SA activated Sirt3, a mitochondrial deacetylase, and SOD2, a mitochondrial antioxidant, in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes. SA also inhibited oxidative stress in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes. However, the protective effect of SA was significantly reduced in Sirt3-silenced hypertrophic cardiomyocytes, indicating that SA exerts its beneficial effect through Sirt3/SOD signaling. In summary, this is the first study to reveal the potential pharmacological action and inhibitory mechanism of SA as an antioxidant against cardiac hypertrophy, suggesting that SA could be utilized for the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:When confronted to stress or pathological conditions, the mitochondria overproduce reactive species that participate in the cellular dysfunction. These organelles are however difficult to target with antioxidants. A feature of mitochondria that can be used for this is the negatively charged compartments they form. Most of mitochondrion-targeting antioxidants are therefore cationic synthetic molecules. Our hypothesis is that such mitochondriotropic traits might also exists in natural molecules. AIM:We tested here whether sinapine, a natural phenolic antioxidant-bearing a permanent positive charge, can target mitochondria to modulate mitochondrial oxidative stress. METHODS:Experiments were performed in-vitro, in-cellulo, ex-vivo, and in-vivo, using cardiac tissue. The sinapic acid -lacking the positively-charged-choline-moiety present in sinapine-was used as a control. Sinapine entry into mitochondria was investigated in-vivo and in cardiomyocytes. We used fluorescent probes to detect cytosolic (H2DCFDA) and mitochondrial (DHR123) oxidative stress on cardiomyocytes induced with either hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or antimycin A, respectively. Finally, ROS production was measured with DHE 10 min after ischemia-reperfusion (IR) on isolated heart, treated or not with sinapine, sinapic acid or with a known synthetic mitochondrion-targeted antioxidant (mitoTempo). RESULTS:We detected the presence of sinapine within mitochondria in-vitro, after incubation of isolated cardiomyocytes, and in-vivo, after oral treatment. The presence of sinapic acid was not detected in the mitochondria. Both the sinapine and the sinapic acid limited cytosolic oxidative stress in response to H2O2. Only sinapine was able to blunt oxidative stress resulting from antimycin A-induced mtROS. Both mitoTempo and sinapine improved cardiac functional recovery following IR. This was associated with lower ROS production within the cardiac tissue. CONCLUSION:Sinapine, a natural cationic hydrophilic phenol, commonly and substantially found in rapeseed species, effectively (i) enters within the mitochondria, (ii) selectively decreases the level of mitochondrial oxidative stress and, (iii) efficiently limits ROS production during cardiac ischemia-reperfusion.
