Roles of HDAC3-orchestrated circadian clock gene oscillations in diabetic rats following myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The circadian clock is closely related to the development of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, and disruption of the circadian clock exacerbates myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI). HDAC3 is a key component of the circadian negative feedback loop that controls the expression pattern of the circadian nuclear receptor Rev-erb? to maintain the stability of circadian genes such as BMAL1. However, the mechanism by which the HDAC3-orchestrated Rev-erb?/BMAL1 pathway increases MI/RI in diabetes and its relationship with mitophagy have yet to be elucidated. Here, we observed that the clock genes Rev-erb?, BMAL1, and C/EBP? oscillations were altered in the hearts of rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes, with upregulated HDAC3 expression. Oscillations of Rev-erb? and BMAL1 were rapidly attenuated in diabetic MI/R hearts versus non-diabetic I/RI hearts, in accordance with impaired and rhythm-disordered circadian-dependent mitophagy that increased injury. Genetic knockdown of HDAC3 significantly attenuated diabetic MI/RI by mediating the Rev-erb?/BMAL1 circadian pathway to recover mitophagy. Primary cardiomyocytes with or without HDAC3 siRNA and Rev-erb? siRNA were exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in vitro. The expression of HDAC3 and Rev-erb? in cardiomyocytes was increased under high-glucose conditions compared with low-glucose conditions, with decreased BMAL1 expression and mitophagy levels. After H/R stimulation, high glucose aggravated H/R injury, with upregulated HDAC3 and Rev-erb? expression and decreased BMAL1 and mitophagy levels. HDAC3 and Rev-erb? siRNA can alleviate high glucose-induced and H/R-induced injury by upregulating BMAL1 to increase mitophagy. Collectively, these findings suggest that disruption of HDAC3-mediated circadian gene expression oscillations induces mitophagy dysfunction, aggravating diabetic MI/RI. Cardiac-specific HDAC3 knockdown could alleviate diabetic MI/RI by regulating the Rev-erb?/BMAL1 pathway to restore the activation of mitophagy.
