Quercetin Attenuates Cardiac Hypertrophy by Inhibiting Mitochondrial Dysfunction Through SIRT3/PARP-1 Pathway

ABSTRACT: Cardiac hypertrophy is an important characteristic in the development of hypertensive heart disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in the pathology of cardiac hypertrophy. Recent studies have shown that sirtuin 3 (SIRT3)/poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) pathway modulation inhibits cardiac hypertrophy. Quercetin, a natural flavonol agent, has been reported to attenuate cardiac hypertrophy. However, the molecular mechanism is not completely elucidated. In this study, we aimed to explore the mechanism underlying the protective effect of quercetin on cardiac hypertrophy. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) were treated with quercetin (20 mg/kg/d) for 8 weeks to evaluate the effects of quercetin on blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy. Additionally, the mitochondrial protective effect of quercetin was assessed in H9c2 cells treated with Ang II. SHRs displayed aggravated cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, which were attenuated by quercetin treatment. Quercetin also improved cardiac function, reduced mitochondrial superoxide and protected mitochondrial structure in vivo. In vitro, Ang II increased the mRNA level of hypertrophic markers including atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and β-myosin heavy chain (β-MHC), whereas quercetin ameliorated this hypertrophic response. Moreover, quercetin prevented mitochondrial function against Ang II induction. Importantly, mitochondrial protection and PARP-1 inhibition by quercetin were partly abolished after SIRT3 knockdown. Our results suggested that quercetin protected mitochondrial function by modulating SIRT3/PARP-1 pathway, contributing to the inhibition of cardiac hypertrophy.

Project description:Purpose:RNA-Seq analysis was performed on mouse hearts with or without hispidulin treatment 4 weeks after arotic banding or sham surgery to determining the effect of hispidulin on pressure overload induced cardiac hypertrophy. Methods: the mRNA profiles of mouse hearts underwent sham or arotic banding surgery with treatment of hispidulin or DMSO were generated by RNA-seq analysis in triplicate. The expression level of gene was calculated by RSEM(v.1.2.12). Differential expression analysis was performed using the DESeq2(V 1.4.5). Results: RNA isolation, library construction, and sequencing were performed on a BGISEQ-500 (Beijing Genomic Institution, www.genomics.org.cn, BGI). For the gene expression analysis, the fold changes were also estimated according to the fragments per kilobase of exon per million fragments mapped (FPKM) in each sample. The significance of different gene expression was defined by the following filter criteria: false discovery rate (FDR) ≤0.001 and log2-ratio 1. After comparing of DMSO+AB group and hispidulin+AB group, we found that 113 genes were significantly differentially expressed. Gene ontology and cluster analysis indicated that alternated genes were enriched in fatty acid oxidation, glucose metabolism, TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, ECM organism, oxidative stress and unfolded protein binding. This result indicated that hispidulin improved mitochondrial function. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of heart transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles. Our results show that NGS offers a comprehensive and more accurate quantitative and qualitative evaluation of mRNA content within a cell or tissue. We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions.
