Project description:Wild type, female, C57BL/6 mice were subjected to sham (n=6) surgery, or TAC + MI to cause progressive LV remodeling (n=12). At 2wks post-TAC, one group of mice underwent de-banding (HF-DB, n=6), whereas in a second group of mice the band remained intact (HF; n = 6). LV remodeling was evaluated by 2D echocardiography at 14 days post-TAC+MI , and 4 wks post-debanding. At 6 wks the hearts were excised and analyzed for changes in gene expression using transcriptional profiling. e-banding in the HF-DB mice resulted in normalization of LV volumes and LV mass, and normalization of cardiac myocyte hypertrophy at 6wks, without significant changes in myofibrillar collagen in the HF and HF-DB mice. Both LV ejection fraction (LVEF) and LV radial strain improved numerically following de-banding; however, both measurements remained significantly depressed in the HF-DB mice compared to sham, and were not significantly different from HF mice at 6wks. Reverse LV remodeling in the HF-DB mouse hearts was accompanied by a partial (80%) normalization of the genes that became dysregulated during LV remodeling, whereas 20% of genes remained persistently dysregulated following reverse LV remodeling.

Project description:Aims: In humans, secretome of pericardial (PAT) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) contribute to establishment of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) originating from pressure-overload due to metabolic disorder. We examined whether PAT affects also manifestation and progression of pressure-induced HF in the absence of metabolic burden in mice. Methods and results: Progressive remodelling was assessed in C57BL/6J males, aged 9 wks, randomly assigned to sham surgery or transverse aortic constriction (TAC) for 1 week (early pressure-overload), 8 (chronic pressure-overload), or 12 weeks (HFrEF) with or without concomitant PAT excision. PAT removal did not affect early (1 wk TAC), and chronic (8 wks) pressure-overload induced concentric remodelling. However, the initial PAT excision prevented TAC-induced expansion of pro-inflammatory macrophages during early pressure-overload and attenuated the persistent LV expression of pro-hypertrophic, pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic factors as well as the drastic LV dilation and progressive systolic dysfunction in the long-term and thereby protected against the transition to HFrEF. This protection was associated with significant reduction of microscar and perivascular fibrosis. The latter was, at least in part, attributed to reduced accumulation of pro-fibrotic CD206+ macrophages around the coronaries 12 wks post-surgery in the absence of PAT compared to mice with intact PAT. In addition, PAT bulk RNA sequencing revealed the initiation of an extracellular matrix deposition programme in the PAT early upon TAC surgery, which might trigger fibrotic responses in the underlying myocardium. Indeed, isolated naive adult cardiac fibroblasts exposed to PAT lysate from 12 wks TAC mice increased collagen production and cell viability/proliferation. Conclusion: Our data suggest PAT to play divergent roles in the chronically pressure overloaded heart versus HFrEF - while widely not affecting concentric hypertrophy, PAT removal counteracts manifestation of HFrEF in mice, at least in part, by preventing excessive fibrotic and macrophage responses.

Project description:The specific mechanism of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor in heart failure (HF) needs to be elucidated. In this study, we use SGLT2 global knockout (SGLT2-KO) mice to assess the mechanism of SGLT2 inhibitor on HF. Dapagliflozin ameliorates both myocardial infarction (MI)-and transverse aortic constriction (TAC) -induced HF. Global SGLT2-deficiency doesn’t exert protection against adverse remodeling in both MI- and TAC-induced HF models. Dapagliflozin blurs MI- and TAC-induced HF phenotypes in SGLT2-KO mice. Dapagliflozin causes major changes in cardiac fibrosis and inflammation. Based on single-cell RNA sequencing dapagliflozin causes significant differences in the gene expression profile of macrophages and fibroblasts. Moreover, dapagliflozin directly inhibites macrophage inflammation, thereby suppressing cardiac fibroblasts activation. The cardio-protection of dapagliflozin is blurred in mice treated with a C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) antagonist. Taken together the protective effects of dapagliflozin against HF are independent of SGLT2, macrophage inhibition is the main target of dapagliflozin against HF.

Project description:Myofibroblasts (MFs) are crucial components of the fibrotic remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). We have previously demonstrated the centrality of AMPKα1 in post-MI remodeling. Here, we investigate the effects of MF-specific deletion of AMPKα1 on left ventricular (LV) adaptation following MI, and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Importantly, MF-restricted AMPKα1 conditional knockout (cKO) hearts exhibit exacerbated post-MI adverse LV remodeling and are characterized by exaggerated fibrotic response, compared to wild-type (WT) hearts. Myofibroblast proliferation significantly increases in cKO infarcted hearts, coincident with a significant reduction of Connexin 43 (Cx43) expression in MFs. Mechanistically, lack of AMPKα1 in MFs enhances miR-125b expression, which, in turn, downregulates Cx43. Collectively, our data demonstrate a cardinal role for MF-AMPKα1 in cardiac remodeling, as its lineage-specific inactivation accentuates fibrosis and LV dilatation following MI. The deleterious effects of MF-specific AMPKα1 deletion are mediated via Cx43, and its post-transcriptional regulation by miR-125b.

Project description:We analyzed time dependent global proteomic adaptations during heart failure (HF) progression in a mouse model, suffering from left ventricular pressure overload due to transverse aortic constriction (TAC), to gain deeper insights in the disease development and identify new biomarker candidates. The hearts from TAC and sham mice were examined by cardiac MRI on either day 4, 14, 21, 28, 42, and 56 after surgery (n=6 group/time point). At each time point, proteomes of the left (LV) and right ventricles (RV) of TAC and sham mice were analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS).

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause for hear failure (HF). Following MI, the non-infarcted region of left ventricle (LV) is critical for maintaining heart function, and disruption of the LV contributes greatly to post-MI HF. Transcriptomic profiling by high-throughput sequencing was performed in a chronic HF pig model, to explore the molecular changes in the post-MI LV related to cardiovascular deterioration. Samples were taken from heart tissue of MI-induced pigs and from control pigs not subjected to MI. Regions of the heart where samples were taken included the site of ischemia (LV ischemia), area bordering ischemia (LV border), area remote to ischemia (LV remote) and the right ventricle (RV).

Project description:We analyzed global proteomic adaptations during heart failure (HF) progression in a mouse model, suffering from left ventricular pressure overload due to transverse aortic constriction (TAC) and in response to riociguat (RIO) treatment, to gain deeper insights in beneficial effects due to sGC stimulation on cardiac remodeling and HF. TAC and sham animals were treated with either riociguat (RIO; 3 mg/kg/day) or vehicle (VEH; Transcutol®/Cremophor®/water: 10%/20%/70%) for five weeks, starting three weeks post-op when cardiac hypertrophy was established, resulting in four treatment groups ( n=5-6 per group). At the end of the study, hearts were dissected and proteomes of the left ventricles (LV) were analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS).

Project description:After myocardial infarction (MI) activation of the immune system and inflammatory mechanisms, among others, can lead to ventricular remodeling and heart failure (HF). Interaction between these systemic alterations and corresponding changes in the heart has not been extensively examined in the setting of chronic ischemia. The main purpose of this study was to investigate alterations in cardiac gene and systemic cytokine profile in mice with post-ischemic HF. Plasma was tested for IgM and IgG anti-heart reactive repertoire and inflammatory cytokines. Heart samples were assayed for gene expression. Ischemic HF significantly increased the levels of serum IgM (by 5.2 fold) and IgG (by 3.6 fold) associated with remarkable content of anti-heart specificity. Comparable increase was observed in levels of circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β (3.8x) and TNF-α (6.0x). IFN-gamma was also increased in the MI group by 3.1x. However, IL-4 and IL-10 showed no significant difference between MI and sham groups. Chemokines such as MCP-1 and IL-8 were enhanced in the plasma of infarcted mice. We identified 2079 well annotated unigenes that were significantly regulated by the post-ischemic HF. Complement activation and immune response was among the most up-regulated processes. Interestingly, 21 out of the 101 quantified unigenes involved in inflammatory response were significantly up-regulated and none were down-regulated. These data indicate that post-ischemic heart remodeling is accompanied by immune mediated mechanisms that act both systemically and locally. We compared RNA samples extracted from whole hearts of control and infarcted mice samples by analyzing hybridization to AECOM 32k mouse microarrays (http://microarray1k.aecom.yu.edu/) spotted with Operon version 3.0 70-mer oligonucleotides. The hybridization protocol, the slide type and the scanner settings were uniform throughout the entire experiment to minimize the technical noise. Control (sham) and infarcted red-labeled heart samples were hybridized against an in-house prepared green-labeled universal mouse reference.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) including small EVs, or exosomes and their molecular cargo are known to modulate cell to cell communication during multiple cardiac diseases. However, the role of systemic EV biogenesis inhibition in the models of HF is not well documented and remains unclear. METHODS: We investigated the role of circulating exosomes during cardiac dysfunction and remodeling in a mouse transverse aortic constriction (TAC) model of HF. Importantly, we investigate the efficacy of Tipifarnib (Tip), a recently identified exosome biogenesis inhibitor that targets the critical proteins (Rab27a, nSmase2 and Alix) involved in exosome biogenesis for this mouse model of HF. In this study, 10-week-old male mice underwent TAC surgery, were randomly assigned to groups with and without Tip treatment (10 mg/kg three times/week) and monitored for 8 weeks and a comprehensive assessment was conducted through performed echocardiographic, histological, and biochemical studies. RESULTS: TAC significantly elevated circulating plasma exosomes and markedly increased cardiac left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, cardiac hypertrophy, and fibrosis. Furthermore, injection of plasma exosomes from TAC mice induced LV dysfunction and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in uninjured mice without TAC. On the contrary, treatment of Tip in TAC mice reduced circulating exosomes to baseline and remarkably improved LV functions, hypertrophy, and fibrosis. Tip treatment also drastically altered the miRNA profile of circulating post-TAC exosomes, including miR331-5p which was highly downregulated both in TAC circulating exosomes and in TAC cardiac tissue. Mechanistically, miR331-5p is crucial for inhibiting fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition by targeting HOXC8, a critical regulator of fibrosis. Tipifarnib treatment in TAC mice upregulated the expression of miR331-5p that acts as potent repressor for one of the fibrotic mechanisms mediated by HOXC8. CONCLUSIONS: Our study underscores the pathological role of exosomes in HF and fibrosis in response to pressure overload. Tipifarnib mediated inhibition of exosome biogenesis and cargo sorting may serve as a viable strategy to prevent progressive cardiac remodeling to HF.
