MAIR-II deficiency ameliorates cardiac remodelling post-myocardial infarction by suppressing TLR9-mediated macrophage activation.

ABSTRACT: Macrophages are fundamental components of inflammation in post-myocardial infarction (MI) and contribute to adverse cardiac remodelling and heart failure. However, the regulatory mechanisms in macrophage activation have not been fully elucidated. Previous studies showed that myeloid-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor II (MAIR-II) is involved in inflammatory responses in macrophages. However, its role in MI is unknown. Thus, this study aimed to determine a novel role and mechanism of MAIR-II in MI. We first identified that MAIR-II-positive myeloid cells were abundant from post-MI days 3 to 5 in infarcted hearts of C57BL/6J (WT) mice induced by permanent left coronary artery ligation. Compared to WT, MAIR-II-deficient (Cd300c2^-/- ) mice had longer survival, ameliorated cardiac remodelling, improved cardiac function and smaller infarct sizes. Moreover, we detected lower pro-inflammatory cytokine and fibrotic gene expressions in Cd300c2^-/- -infarcted hearts. These mice also had less infiltrating pro-inflammatory macrophages following MI. To elucidate a novel molecular mechanism of MAIR-II, we considered macrophage activation by Toll-like receptor (TLR) 9-mediated inflammation. In vitro, we observed that Cd300c2^-/- bone marrow-derived macrophages stimulated by a TLR9 agonist expressed less pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to WT. In conclusion, MAIR-II may enhance inflammation via TLR9-mediated macrophage activation in MI, leading to adverse cardiac remodelling and poor prognosis.

Project description:BackgroundMyocardial infarction (MI) and subsequent ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) are the primary causes of heart failure. Inter-α trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 5 (ITIH5) is an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein and has been identified as a myocardial marker of ICM. However, its diagnostic value in patients with ICM and its function and molecular mechanism in regulating cardiac repair and remodelling after MI remain unknown.MethodsThree microarray datasets including 117 ICM and 152 non-failing (NF) myocardial tissue samples were merged and analysed. Peripheral blood and clinical information were collected from 53 patients with ICM and 40 NF controls. The effects of ITIH5 on cellular interactions and cardiac remodelling was studied using ITIH5 RNAi adeno-associated virus and mouse MI model in vivo and in fibroblast-macrophage co-culture model in vitro.ResultsITIH5 was upregulated in the myocardial tissue and peripheral blood of patients with ICM and could be an independent risk factor for ICM. Experiments in mice suggested that ITIH5 promotes cardiac fibrotic remodelling at all phases after MI. Downregulation of ITIH5 increased the risk of death within 7 d after MI but inhibited ventricular remodelling and improved cardiac function on the long-term. ITIH5 promotes the primary cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) proliferation, migration, and improves survival rather than activiation. Morover, ITIH5 directly promotes macrophage tissue infiltration, maturation, and profibrotic phenotype transformation, thereby promoting fibrotic remodelling. By using fibroblast-macrophage co-culture model, we demonstrated ITIH5 enhanced the fibroblast/macrophage crosstalk manifest as macrophage profibrotic phenotype transformation and CFs activation, mainly by enhancing the hyaluronan stability, the ability of ITIH5 to bind macrophage CD44 receptors and the downstream activation of the signal transduction and activator of transcription 3 pathway in macrophages.ConclusionsITIH5 could be used as a diagnostic marker for ICM. Moreover, ITIH5 expression was upregulated after MI, which accelerated ECM-fibroblast-macrophage interaction, thereby promoting macrophage profibrotic phenotype transformation, CFs activation, and cardiac fibrotic remodelling.
