Catheter-based Intramyocardial Injection of FGF1 or NRG1-loaded MPs Improves Cardiac Function in a Preclinical Model of Ischemia-Reperfusion.

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular protein therapeutics such as neuregulin (NRG1) and acidic-fibroblast growth factor (FGF1) requires new formulation strategies that allow for sustained bioavailability of the drug in the infarcted myocardium. However, there is no FDA-approved injectable protein delivery platform due to translational concerns about biomaterial administration through cardiac catheters. We therefore sought to evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous intramyocardial injection of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microparticles (MPs) loaded with NRG1 and FGF1 using the NOGA MYOSTAR injection catheter in a porcine model of ischemia-reperfusion. NRG1- and FGF1-loaded MPs were prepared using a multiple emulsion solvent-evaporation technique. Infarcted pigs were treated one week after ischemia-reperfusion with MPs containing NRG1, FGF1 or non-loaded MPs delivered via clinically-translatable percutaneous transendocardial-injection. Three months post-treatment, echocardiography indicated a significant improvement in systolic and diastolic cardiac function. Moreover, improvement in bipolar voltage and decrease in transmural infarct progression was demonstrated by electromechanical NOGA-mapping. Functional benefit was associated with an increase in myocardial vascularization and remodeling. These findings in a large animal model of ischemia-reperfusion demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of using MPs as a delivery system for growth factors and provide strong evidence to move forward with clinical studies using therapeutic proteins combined with catheter-compatible biomaterials.

Clearance of senescent cells during cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury improves recovery.

Project description:A key component of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is the increased generation of reactive oxygen species, leading to enhanced inflammation and tissue dysfunction in patients following intervention for myocardial infarction. In this study, we hypothesized that oxidative stress, due to ischemia-reperfusion, induces senescence which contributes to the pathophysiology of cardiac IRI. We demonstrate that IRI induces cellular senescence in both cardiomyocytes and interstitial cell populations and treatment with the senolytic drug navitoclax after ischemia-reperfusion improves left ventricular function, increases myocardial vascularization, and decreases scar size. SWATH-MS-based proteomics revealed that biological processes associated with fibrosis and inflammation that were increased following ischemia-reperfusion were attenuated upon senescent cell clearance. Furthermore, navitoclax treatment reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory, profibrotic, and anti-angiogenic cytokines, including interferon gamma-induced protein-10, TGF-β3, interleukin-11, interleukin-16, and fractalkine. Our study provides proof-of-concept evidence that cellular senescence contributes to impaired heart function and adverse remodeling following cardiac ischemia-reperfusion. We also establish that post-IRI the SASP plays a considerable role in the inflammatory response. Subsequently, senolytic treatment, at a clinically feasible time-point, attenuates multiple components of this response and improves clinically important parameters. Thus, cellular senescence represents a potential novel therapeutic avenue to improve patient outcomes following cardiac ischemia-reperfusion.

A single injection of protein-loaded coacervate-gel significantly improves cardiac function post infarction.

Project description:After myocardial infarction (MI), the heart undergoes fibrotic pathological remodeling instead of repair and regeneration. With multiple pathologies developing after MI, treatment using several proteins is expected to address this range of pathologies more effectively than a single-agent therapy. A factorial design of experiments study guided us to combine three complementary factors in one injection: tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP-3) was embedded in a fibrin gel for signaling in the initial phase of the treatment, while basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) and stromal cell-derived factor 1-alpha (SDF-1α) were embedded in heparin-based coacervates for sustained release and distributed within the same fibrin gel to exert their effects over a longer period. The gel was then tested in a rat model of myocardial infarction. Contractility of rat hearts treated with the protein coacervate-gel composite stabilized and slightly improved after the first week while contractility continued to decrease in rats treated with free proteins or saline over the 8 week study period. Hearts receiving the protein coacervate-gel composite treatment also exhibited reduced ventricular dilation, inflammation, fibrosis, and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. Revascularization, cardiomyocyte preservation, stem cell homing, and increased myocardial strain likely all contributed to the repair. This study demonstrates the potential of a multifactorial therapeutic approach in MI, using three complementary proteins delivered sequentially for comprehensive healing. The study also shows the necessity of controlled delivery for growth factors and cytokines to be an effective treatment.

DRP1 haploinsufficiency attenuates cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injuries.

Project description:Mitochondrial dynamics is a possible modulator of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injuries (IRI). We previously reported that mice partially deficient in the fusion protein OPA1 exhibited higher IRI. Therefore, we investigated whether deficiency in the fission protein DRP1 encoded by Dnm1l gene would affect IRI in Dnm1l+/- mouse. After baseline characterization of the Dnm1l+/- mice heart, using echocardiography, electron microscopy, and oxygraphy, 3-month-old Dnm1l+/- and wild type (WT) mice were exposed to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). The ischemic area-at-risk (AAR) and area of necrosis (AN) were delimited, and the infarct size was expressed by AN/AAR. Proteins involved in mitochondrial dynamics and autophagy were analyzed before and after I/R. Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening sensitivity was assessed after I/R. Heart weight and left ventricular function were not significantly different in 3-, 6- and 12-month-old Dnm1l+/- mice than in WT. The cardiac DRP1 protein expression levels were 60% lower, whereas mitochondrial area and lipid degradation were significantly higher in Dnm1l+/- mice than in WT, though mitochondrial respiratory parameters and mPTP opening did not significantly differ. Following I/R, the infarct size was significantly smaller in Dnm1l+/- mice than in WT (34.6±3.1% vs. 44.5±3.3%, respectively; p<0.05) and the autophagic markers, LC3 II and P62 were significantly increased compared to baseline condition in Dnm1l+/- mice only. Altogether, data indicates that increasing fusion by means of Dnm1l deficiency was associated with protection against IRI, without alteration in cardiac or mitochondrial functions at basal conditions. This protection mechanism due to DRP1 haploinsufficiency increases the expression of autophagic markers.

Urocortin-2 Prevents Dysregulation of Ca2+ Homeostasis and Improves Early Cardiac Remodeling After Ischemia and Reperfusion.

Project description:Aims: Urocortin-2 (Ucn-2) is a potent cardioprotector against Ischemia and Reperfusion (I/R) injuries. However, little is known about its role in the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) under I/R. Here, we examined whether the addition of Ucn-2 in reperfusion promotes cardioprotection focusing on ([Ca2+]i handling. Methods and Results: Cardiac Wistar rat model of I/R was induced by transient ligation of the left coronary artery and experiments were conducted 1 week after surgery in tissue and adult cardiomyocytes isolated from risk and remote zones. We observed that I/R promoted significant alteration in cardiac contractility as well as an increase in hypertrophy and fibrosis in both zones. The study of confocal [Ca2+]i imaging in adult cardiomyocytes revealed that I/R decreased the amplitude of [Ca2+]i transient and cardiomyocytes contraction in risk and remote zones. Interestingly, intravenous infusion of Ucn-2 before heart's reperfusion recovered significantly cardiac contractility and prevented fibrosis, but it didn't affect cardiac hypertrophy. Moreover, Ucn-2 recovered the amplitude of [Ca2+]i transient and modulated the expression of several proteins related to [Ca2+]i homeostasis, such as TRPC5 and Orai1 channels. Using Neonatal Rat Ventricular Myocytes (NRVM) we demonstrated that Ucn-2 blunted I/R-induced Store Operated Ca2+ Entry (SOCE), decreased the expression of TRPC5 and Orai1 as well as their interaction in reperfusion. Conclusion: Our study provides the first evidences demonstrating that Ucn-2 addition at the onset of reperfusion attenuates I/R-induced adverse cardiac remodeling, involving the [Ca2+]i handling and inhibiting the expression and interaction between TRPC5 and Orai1.

Nuciferine improves cardiac function in mice subjected to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury by upregulating PPAR-γ.

Project description:Ischemic heart disease and myocardial infarction contribute to the leading cause of death in worldwide. The prevention and management of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is an essential part of coronary heart disease surgery and is becoming a major clinical problem in the treatment of ischemic heart disease. Nuciferine has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidative stress effects, but its role in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is unclear. In this study, we found that nuciferine could reduce the myocardial infarct size in a mouse myocardial ischemia-reperfusion model and improve cardiac function. Furthermore, nuciferine could effectively inhibit hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R) stimulated apoptosis of primary mouse cardiomyocytes. In addition, nuciferine significantly reduced the level of oxidative stress. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) inhibitor GW9662 could reverse the protective effect of nuciferine on cardiomyocytes. These results indicate that nuciferine can inhibit the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes by upregulating PPAR-γ and reducing the I/R-induced myocardial injury in mice.

Chick Embryo: A Preclinical Model for Understanding Ischemia-Reperfusion Mechanism.

Project description:Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-related disorders, such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and peripheral vascular disease, are among the most frequent causes of disease and death. Tissue injury or death may result from the initial ischemic insult, primarily determined by the magnitude and duration of the interruption in blood supply and then by the subsequent reperfusion-induced damage. Various in vitro and in vivo models are currently available to study I/R mechanism in the brain and other tissues. However, thus far, no in ovo I/R model has been reported for understanding the I/R mechanisms and for faster drug screening. Here, we developed an in ovo Hook model of I/R by occluding and releasing the right vitelline artery of a chick embryo at 72 h of development. To validate the model and elucidate various underlying survival and death mechanisms, we employed imaging (Doppler blood flow imaging), biochemical, and blotting techniques and evaluated the cell death mechanism: autophagy and inflammation caused by I/R. In conclusion, the present model is useful in parallel with established in vitro and in vivo I/R models to understand the mechanisms of I/R development and its treatment.

Prostacyclin Analogue-Loaded Nanoparticles Attenuate Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats.

Project description:Intravenously injected ONO-1301-containing nanoparticles (ONO-1301NPs), unlike an ONO-1301 solution, selectively accumulated in the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-injured myocardium of rats and contributed to the prolonged retention of ONO-1301 in the targeted myocardial tissue. In the ischemic area, proangiogenic cytokines were up-regulated and inflammatory cytokines were down-regulated upon ONO-1301NP administration. Consequently, ONO-1301NP-injected rats exhibited a smaller infarct size, better-preserved capillary networks, and a better-preserved myocardial blood flow at 24 h after I/R injury, compared with those in vehicle-injected or ONO-1301 solution-injected rats. ONO-1301NPs attenuate the myocardial I/R injury via proangiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects of the drug.

Annexin A5 reduces infarct size and improves cardiac function after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by suppression of the cardiac inflammatory response.

Project description:Annexin A5 (AnxA5) is known to have anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties. Inflammation and apoptosis are key processes in post-ischemic cardiac remodeling. In this study, we investigated the effect of AnxA5 on left ventricular (LV) function and remodeling three weeks after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI-R) injury in hypercholesterolemic ApoE*3-Leiden mice. Using a mouse model for MI-R injury, we demonstrate AnxA5 treatment resulted in a 27% reduction of contrast-enhanced MRI assessed infarct size (IS). End-diastolic and end-systolic volumes were decreased by 22% and 38%, respectively. LV ejection fraction was increased by 29% in the AnxA5 group compared to vehicle. Following AnxA5 treatment LV fibrous content after three weeks was reduced by 42%, which was accompanied by an increase in LV wall thickness of the infarcted area by 17%. Two days and three weeks after MI-R injury the number of cardiac macrophages was significantly reduced in both the infarct area and border zones following AnxA5 treatment compared to vehicle treatment. Finally, we found that AnxA5 stimulation leads to a reduction of IL-6 production in bone-marrow derived macrophages in vitro. AnxA5 treatment attenuates the post-ischemic inflammatory response and ameliorates LV remodeling which improves cardiac function three weeks after MI-R injury in hypercholesterolemic ApoE*3-Leiden mice.

Role of cardiac mitofusins in cardiac conduction following simulated ischemia-reperfusion.

Project description:Mitochondrial dysfunction induced by acute cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (IR), may increase susceptibility to arrhythmias by perturbing energetics, oxidative stress production and calcium homeostasis. Although changes in mitochondrial morphology are known to impact on mitochondrial function, their role in cardiac arrhythmogenesis is not known. To assess action potential duration (APD) in cardiomyocytes from the Mitofusins-1/2 (Mfn1/Mfn2)-double-knockout (Mfn-DKO) compared to wild-type (WT) mice, optical-electrophysiology was conducted. To measure conduction velocity (CV) in atrial and ventricular tissue from the Mfn-DKO and WT mice, at both baseline and following simulated acute IR, multi-electrode array (MEA) was employed. Intracellular localization of connexin-43 (Cx43) at baseline was evaluated by immunohistochemistry, while Cx-43 phosphorylation was assessed by Western-blotting. Mfn-DKO cardiomyocytes demonstrated an increased APD. At baseline, CV was significantly lower in the left ventricle of the Mfn-DKO mice. CV decreased with simulated-ischemia and returned to baseline levels during simulated-reperfusion in WT but not in atria of Mfn-DKO mice. Mfn-DKO hearts displayed increased Cx43 lateralization, although phosphorylation of Cx43 at Ser-368 did not differ. In summary, Mfn-DKO mice have increased APD and reduced CV at baseline and impaired alterations in CV following cardiac IR. These findings were associated with increased Cx43 lateralization, suggesting that the mitofusins may impact on post-MI cardiac-arrhythmogenesis.

Decorin protects cardiac myocytes against simulated ischemia/reperfusion injury

Project description:Primary cardiac myocytes isolated from neonatal Wistar rats were cultured and simulated ischemia/reperfusion injury were conducted on them in the presence or absence of decorin. Decorin is a small leucin-rich proteoglycan, which has a cardiocytoprotective effect. The underlaying mechanism of this cardiocytoprotective phenomenon is unknown, therefore our aim was to investigate the changes in the mRNA expression between the decorin (3nM) treated and vehicle-treated control cells.
