Haematopoietic and cardiac GPR55 synchronize post-myocardial infarction remodelling.

ABSTRACT: While classical cannabinoid receptors are known to crucially impact on myocardial infarction (MI) repair, a function of the cannabinoid-sensitive receptor GPR55 herein is poorly understood. We investigated the role of GPR55 in cardiac physiology and post-MI inflammation and remodelling. Global GPR55-/- and wildtype (WT) mice were basally characterized or assigned to 1, 3 or 28 days permanent MI and subsequently analysed via pro-inflammatory and pro-hypertrophic parameters. GPR55-/- deficiency was basally associated with bradycardia, increased diastolic LV volume and sarcomere length and a subtle inflammatory phenotype. While infarct size and myeloid cell infiltration were unaffected by GPR55 depletion, acute cardiac chemokine production was prolonged post-MI. Concurrently, GPR55-/- hearts exhibited a premature expansion of pro-reparative and phagocytic macrophages paralleled by early up-regulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) factors 3 days post-MI, which could be mimicked by sole haematopoietic GPR55 depletion. Moreover, global GPR55 deficiency mitigated MI-induced foetal gene re-programming and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, culminating in aggravated LV dilatation and infarct expansion. GPR55 regulates cardiac homeostasis and ischaemia responses by maintaining adequate LV filling and modulating three crucial processes post-MI: wound healing kinetics, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and maladaptive remodelling.

Interleukin-38 alleviates cardiac remodelling after myocardial infarction.

Project description:Excessive immune-mediated inflammatory reaction plays a deleterious role in ventricular remodelling after myocardial infarction (MI). Interleukin (IL)-38 is a newly characterized cytokine of the IL-1 family and has been reported to exert a protective effect in some autoimmune diseases. However, its role in cardiac remodelling post-MI remains unknown. In this study, we found that the expression of IL-38 was increased in infarcted heart after MI induced in C57BL/6 mice by permanent ligation of the left anterior descending artery. In addition, our data showed that ventricular remodelling after MI was significantly ameliorated after recombinant IL-38 injection in mice. This amelioration was demonstrated by better cardiac function, restricted inflammatory response, attenuated myocardial injury and decreased myocardial fibrosis. Our results in vitro revealed that IL-38 affects the phenotype of dendritic cells (DCs) and IL-38 plus troponin I (TNI)-treated tolerogenic DCs dampened adaptive immune response when co-cultured with CD4+ T cells. In conclusion, IL-38 plays a protective effect in ventricular remodelling post-MI, one possibility by influencing DCs to attenuate inflammatory response. Therefore, targeting IL-38 may hold a new therapeutic potential in treating MI.

Differential roles of cardiac and leukocyte derived macrophage migration inhibitory factor in inflammatory responses and cardiac remodelling post myocardial infarction.

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) provokes regional inflammation which facilitates the healing, whereas excessive inflammation leads to adverse cardiac remodelling. Our aim was to determine the role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in inflammation and cardiac remodelling following MI. Wild type (WT) or global MIF deficient (MIFKO) mice were subjected to coronary artery occlusion. Compared to WT mice, MIFKO mice had a significantly lower incidence of post-MI cardiac rupture (27% vs. 53%) and amelioration of cardiac remodelling. These were associated with suppressed myocardial leukocyte infiltration, inflammatory mediators' expression, and reduced activity of MMP-2, MMP-9, p38 and JNK MAPK. Infarct myocardium-derived or exogenous MIF mediated macrophage chemotaxis in vitro that was suppressed by inhibition of p38 MAPK or NF-?B. To further dissect the role of MIF derived from different cellular sources in post-MI cardiac remodelling, we generated chimeric mice with MIF deficiency either in bone marrow derived-cells (WT(KO)) or in somatic-cells (KO(WT)). Compared to WT and KO(WT) mice, WT(KO) mice had reduced rupture risk and ameliorated cardiac remodelling, associated with attenuated regional leukocyte infiltration and expression of inflammatory mediators. In contrast, KO(WT) mice had delayed healing and enhanced expression of M1 macrophage markers, but diminished expression of M2 markers during the early healing phase. In conclusion, global MIF deletion protects the heart from post-infarct cardiac rupture and remodelling through suppression of leukocyte infiltration and inflammation. Leukocyte-derived MIF promotes inflammatory responses after MI, whereas cardiac-derived MIF affects early but not ultimate healing process.

Zinc Finger Protein ZBTB20 protects against cardiac remodelling post-myocardial infarction via ROS-TNFα/ASK1/JNK pathway regulation.

Project description:This study aims to determine the efficacy of Zinc finger protein ZBTB20 in treatment of post-infarction cardiac remodelling. For this purpose, left anterior descending (LAD) ligation was operated on mice to induce myocardial infarction (MI) with sham control group as contrast and adeno-associated virus (AAV9) system was used to deliver ZBTB20 to mouse heart by myocardial injection with vehicle-injected control group as contrast two weeks before MI surgery. Then four weeks after MI, vehicle-treated mice with left ventricular (LV) remodelling underwent deterioration of cardiac function, with symptoms of hypertrophy, interstitial fibrosis, inflammation and apoptosis. The vehicle-injected mice also showed increase of infarct size and decrease of survival rate. Meanwhile, the ZBTB20-overexpressed mice displayed improvement after MI. Moreover, the anti-apoptosis effect of ZBTB20 was further confirmed in H9c2 cells subjected to hypoxia in vitro. Further study suggested that ZBTB20 exerts cardioprotection by inhibiting tumour necrosis factor α/apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1/2 (JNK1/2) signalling, which was confirmed by shRNA-JNK adenoviruses transfection or a JNK activator in vitro as well as ASK1 overexpression in vivo. In summary, our data suggest that ZBTB20 could alleviate cardiac remodelling post-MI. Thus, administration of ZBTB20 can be considered as a promising treatment strategy for heart failure post-MI. Significance Statement: ZBTB20 could alleviate cardiac remodelling post-MI via inhibition of ASK1/JNK1/2 signalling.

Adverse Cardiac Remodelling after Acute Myocardial Infarction: Old and New Biomarkers.

Project description:The prevalence of heart failure (HF) due to cardiac remodelling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) does not decrease regardless of implementation of new technologies supporting opening culprit coronary artery and solving of ischemia-relating stenosis with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Numerous studies have examined the diagnostic and prognostic potencies of circulating cardiac biomarkers in acute coronary syndrome/AMI and heart failure after AMI, and even fewer have depicted the utility of biomarkers in AMI patients undergoing primary PCI. Although complete revascularization at early period of acute coronary syndrome/AMI is an established factor for improved short-term and long-term prognosis and lowered risk of cardiovascular (CV) complications, late adverse cardiac remodelling may be a major risk factor for one-year mortality and postponded heart failure manifestation after PCI with subsequent blood flow resolving in culprit coronary artery. The aim of the review was to focus an attention on circulating biomarker as a promising tool to stratify AMI patients at high risk of poor cardiac recovery and developing HF after successful PCI. The main consideration affects biomarkers of inflammation, biomechanical myocardial stress, cardiac injury and necrosis, fibrosis, endothelial dysfunction, and vascular reparation. Clinical utilities and predictive modalities of natriuretic peptides, cardiac troponins, galectin 3, soluble suppressor tumorogenicity-2, high-sensitive C-reactive protein, growth differential factor-15, midregional proadrenomedullin, noncoding RNAs, and other biomarkers for adverse cardiac remodelling are discussed in the review.

Three-dimensional myocardial strain correlates with murine left ventricular remodelling severity post-infarction.

Project description:Heart failure continues to be a common and deadly sequela of myocardial infarction (MI). Despite strong evidence suggesting the importance of myocardial mechanics in cardiac remodelling, many MI studies still rely on two-dimensional analyses to estimate global left ventricular (LV) function. Here, we integrated four-dimensional ultrasound with three-dimensional strain mapping to longitudinally characterize LV mechanics within and around infarcts in order to study the post-MI remodelling process. To induce infarcts with varying severities, we separated 15 mice into three equal-sized groups: (i) sham, (ii) 30 min ischaemia-reperfusion, and (iii) permanent ligation of the left coronary artery. Four-dimensional ultrasound from a high-frequency small animal system was used to monitor changes in LV geometry, function and strain over 28 days. We reconstructed three-dimensional myocardial strain maps and showed that strain profiles at the infarct border followed a sigmoidal behaviour. We also identified that mice with mild remodelling had significantly higher strains in the infarcted myocardium than those with severe injury. Finally, we developed a new approach to non-invasively estimate infarct size from strain maps, which correlated well with histological results. Taken together, the presented work provides a thorough approach to quantify regional strain, an important component when assessing post-MI remodelling.

Overexpression of microRNA-99a attenuates heart remodelling and improves cardiac performance after myocardial infarction.

Project description:MicroRNAs are involved in the regulation of various cellular processes, including cell apoptosis and autophagy. Expression of microRNA-99a (miR-99a) is reduced in apoptotic neonatal mice ventricular myocytes (NMVMs) subjected to hypoxia. We hypothesize that miR-99a might restore cardiac function after myocardial infarction (MI) by up-regulation of myocyte autophagy and apoptosis. We observed down-regulated miR-99a expression in NMVMs exposed to hypoxia using TaqMan quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis (RT-PCR). We also observed that miR-99a overexpression decreased hypoxia-mediated apoptosis in cultured NMVMs. To investigate whether overexpression of miR-99a in vivo could improve cardiac function in ischaemic heart, adult C57/BL6 mice undergoing MI were randomized into two groups and were intra-myocardially injected with lenti-99a-green fluorescent protein (GFP) or lenti-GFP (control). Four weeks after MI, lenti-99a-GFP group showed significant improvement in both left ventricular (LV) function and survival ratio, as compared to the lenti-GFP group. Histological analysis, western blotting analysis and electron microscopy revealed decreased cellular apoptosis and increased autophagy in cardiomyocytes of lenti-99a-GFP group. Furthermore, western blotting analysis showed inhibited mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) expression in the border zones of hearts in miR-99a-treated group. Our results demonstrate that miR-99a overexpression improves both cardiac function and survival ratio in a murine model of MI by preventing cell apoptosis and increasing autophagy via an mTOR/P70/S6K signalling pathway. These findings suggest that miR-99a plays a cardioprotective role in post-infarction LV remodelling and increased expression of miR-99a may have a therapeutic potential in ischaemic heart disease.

The CD4(+) AT2R(+) T cell subpopulation improves post-infarction remodelling and restores cardiac function.

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major condition causing heart failure (HF). After MI, the renin angiotensin system (RAS) and its signalling octapeptide angiotensin II (Ang II) interferes with cardiac injury/repair via the AT1 and AT2 receptors (AT1R, AT2R). Our study aimed at deciphering the mechanisms underlying the link between RAS and cellular components of the immune response relying on a rodent model of HF as well as HF patients. Flow cytometric analyses showed an increase in the expression of CD4(+) AT2R(+) cells in the rat heart and spleen post-infarction, but a reduction in the peripheral blood. The latter was also observed in HF patients. The frequency of rat CD4(+) AT2R(+) T cells in circulating blood, post-infarcted heart and spleen represented 3.8 ± 0.4%, 23.2 ± 2.7% and 22.6 ± 2.6% of the CD4(+) cells. CD4(+) AT2R(+) T cells within blood CD4(+) T cells were reduced from 2.6 ± 0.2% in healthy controls to 1.7 ± 0.4% in patients. Moreover, we characterized CD4(+) AT2R(+) T cells which expressed regulatory FoxP3, secreted interleukin-10 and other inflammatory-related cytokines. Furthermore, intramyocardial injection of MI-induced splenic CD4(+) AT2R(+) T cells into recipient rats with MI led to reduced infarct size and improved cardiac performance. We defined CD4(+) AT2R(+) cells as a T cell subset improving heart function post-MI corresponding with reduced infarction size in a rat MI-model. Our results indicate CD4(+) AT2R(+) cells as a promising population for regenerative therapy, via myocardial transplantation, pharmacological AT2R activation or a combination thereof.

Allogeneic pASC transplantation in humanized pigs attenuates cardiac remodeling post-myocardial infarction.

Project description:Cell therapy repair strategies using adult mesenchymal stromal cells have shown promising evidence to prevent cardiac deterioration in rodents even in the absence of robust differentiation of the cells into cardiomyocytes. We tested whether increasing doses of porcine adipose-tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells (pASCs) increase cardiac tissue perfusion in pigs post-myocardial infarction (MI) receiving angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitors) and Beta-blockers similarly to patients. Female pigs were subjected to MI induction by sponge permanent occlusion of left circumflex coronary artery (LCx) generating approximately 10% of injured LV area with minimum hemodynamic impact. We assessed tissue perfusion by real time myocardial perfusion echocardiography (RTMPE) using commercial microbubbles before and following pASCs treatment. Four weeks after the occlusion of the left circumflex artery, we transplanted placebo or pASCs (1, 2 and 4x106 cells/Kg BW) into the myocardium. The highest dose of pASCs increased myocardial vessel number and blood flow in the border (56% and 3.7-fold, respectively) and in the remote area (54% and 3.9-fold, respectively) while the non-perfused scar area decreased (up to 38%). We also found an increase of immature collagen fibers, although the increase in total tissue collagen and types I and III was similar in all groups. Our results provide evidence that pASCs-induced stimulation of tissue perfusion and accumulation of immature collagen fibers attenuates adverse remodeling post-MI beyond the normal beneficial effects associated with ACE inhibition and beta-blockade.

Effects of exercise training on cardiac function and myocardial remodeling in post myocardial infarction rats.

Project description:To test the hypothesis that early exercise training after myocardial infarction (MI) could preserve cardiac function, alleviate left ventricular (LV) remodeling and induce a protective effect on morphology, male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent coronary ligation or sham operation, and were assigned to 3 groups: Sham, sedentary MI (SedMI), and exercise MI (ExMI). We measured the changes in collagen volume fraction, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 1, tissue inhibitor matrix metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1), and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) at gene and protein levels after 8 weeks of exercise training. Cardiac functions were determined by echocardiographic and hemodynamic measurements. Early exercise training after MI had no effect on LV wall thinning. Cardiac function was significantly preserved in the ExMI group in comparison to the SedMI group. The collagen volume fraction in the ExMI group was significantly lower than in the SedMI group. Compared to the SedMI group, the ExMI group showed a markedly decrease at both the gene and protein levels in TIMP-1 (P<0.05). No significant differences were found in MMP-1 among the three groups. MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio in the ExMI group was significantly higher than in the SedMI group. In addition, the expression of AT1 protein in the ExMI group was significantly lower than in the SedMI group. Furthermore, both ACE mRNA expression and ACE binding in the ExMI group are significantly decreased compared to the SedMI group. Our results suggest that early exercise training after MI reduces TIMP-1 expression, improves the balance between MMPs and TIMPs, and mitigates the expressions of ACE and AT1 receptor. These improvements, in turn, attenuate myocardial fibrosis and preserve post-MI cardiac function.
