Protective Effects of Therapeutic Neutrophil Depletion and Myeloperoxidase Inhibition on Left Ventricular Function and Remodeling in Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Improved survival has led to an increasing incidence of ischemic cardiomyopathy, making it a major reason for hospitalization in the western world. The inflammatory response in the ischemic myocardium determines the extent of structural remodeling and functional deterioration, with neutrophils (PMN) being a key modulator of the propagation and resolution of inflammation. The heme enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO) is abundantly expressed in PMN and is an important mediator of their inflammatory capacities. Here, we examine the effects of PMN reduction, MPO deficiency and MPO inhibition in two murine models of MI. Reduction in PMN count resulted in less scar formation and improved cardiac function. Similar results were obtained in genetically MPO deficient mice, suggesting that MPO is a critical factor in PMN-mediated cardiac remodeling. To test our findings in a therapeutic approach, we orally administered the MPO inhibitor AZM198 in the context of MI and could demonstrate improved cardiac function and reduced structural remodeling. Therefore, MPO appears to be a favorable pharmacological target for the prevention of long-term morbidity after MI.

Project description:PurposeNitric oxide (NO) is constitutively produced and released from the endothelium and several blood cell types by the isoform 3 of the NO synthase (NOS3). We have shown that NO protects against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and that depletion of circulating NOS3 increases within 24 h of ischemia/reperfusion the size of myocardial infarction (MI) in chimeric mice devoid of circulating NOS3. In the current study we hypothesized that circulating NOS3 also affects remodeling of the left ventricle following reperfused MI.MethodsTo analyze the role of circulating NOS3 we transplanted bone marrow of NOS3-/- and wild type (WT) mice into WT mice, producing chimerae expressing NOS3 only in vascular endothelium (BC-/EC+) or in both, blood cells and vascular endothelium (BC+/EC+). Both groups underwent 60 min of coronary occlusion in a closed-chest model of reperfused MI. During the 3 weeks post MI, structural and functional LV remodeling was serially assessed (24 h, 4 d, 1 w, 2 w and 3 w) by echocardiography. At 72 hours post MI, gene expression of several extracellular matrix (ECM) modifying molecules was determined by quantitative RT-PCR analysis. At 3 weeks post MI, hemodynamics were obtained by pressure catheter, scar size and collagen content were quantified post mortem by Gomori's One-step trichrome staining.ResultsThree weeks post MI, LV end-systolic (53.2±5.9 μl; ***p≤0.001; n = 5) and end-diastolic volumes (82.7±5.6 μl; *p<0.05; n = 5) were significantly increased in BC-/EC+, along with decreased LV developed pressure (67.5±1.8 mm Hg; n = 18; ***p≤0.001) and increased scar size/left ventricle (19.5±1.5%; n = 13; **p≤0.01) compared to BC+/EC+ (ESV: 35.6±2.2 μl; EDV: 69.1±2.6 μl n = 8; LVDP: 83.2±3.2 mm Hg; n = 24; scar size/LV13.8±0.7%; n = 16). Myocardial scar of BC-/EC+ was characterized by increased total collagen content (20.2±0.8%; n = 13; ***p≤0.001) compared to BC+/EC+ (15.9±0.5; n = 16), and increased collagen type I and III subtypes.ConclusionCirculating NOS3 ameliorates maladaptive left ventricular remodeling following reperfused myocardial infarction.
