Project description:Treatment of pathological cardiac remodeling and subsequent heart failure represents an unmet clinical need. The well conserved lncRNA H19 shows as powerful therapeutic potential in the treatment of pathological cardiac hypertrophy. H19 is strongly repressed in failing hearts from mice, pigs and humans. Gene therapy using murine but also human H19 strongly attenuated heart failure even when cardiac hypertrophy was already established. Using microarray , GSEA and ChIP-Seq we identified a link between H19 and NFAT signalling. H19 physically interacts with PRC2 to epigenetically induced Tescalcin repression which in turn leads to reduced NFAT expression and activity.

Project description:Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive response to pressure overload aimed at maintaining cardiac function. However, prolonged hypertrophy significantly increases the risk of maladaptive cardiac remodeling and heart failure. The role of cardiac long non-coding RNAs in cardiac hypertrophy and cardiomyopathy is not well understood. lincRNA-p21 was induced in mouse and human cardiomyopathy tissue. Global and cardiac-specific lincRNA-p21 knockout significantly suppressed pressure overload-induced ventricular wall thickening, stress marker elevation, and deterioration of cardiac function. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis and transcriptional network analysis revealed that lincRNA-p21 acts in trans to stimulate the NFAT/MEF2 pathway. Mechanistically, lincRNA-p21 bound to the scaffold protein KAP1. lincRNA-p21 cardiac-specific knockout suppressed stress-induced nuclear accumulation of KAP1, and KAP1 knockdown attenuated cardiac hypertrophy and NFAT activation. KAP1 positively regulated pathological hypertrophy by physically interacting with NFATC4 to promote the overactive status of NFAT/MEF2 signaling. Importantly, GapmeR ASO depletion of lincRNA-p21 similarly inhibited cardiac hypertrophy and adverse remodeling, highlighting the therapeutic potential of inhibiting lincRNA-p21.

Project description:Cardiac hypertrophy can lead to heart failure, and is induced either by physiological stimuli eg postnatal development, chronic exercise training or pathological stimuli eg pressure or volume overload. Majority of new therapies for heart failure has mixed outcomes. A combined mouse model and oligo-array approach are used to examine whether phosphoinositide 3-kinase (p110-alpha isoform) activity is critical for maintenance of cardiac function and long-term survival in a setting of heart failure. The significance and expected outcome are to recognise genes involved in models of heart failure ie pathological- vs physiology-hypertrophy, and examine the molecular mechanisms responsible for such activity. Growth of the heart can be induced by physiological stimuli e.g., postnatal development, chronic exercise training, or pathological stimuli e.g., pressure or volume overload. Physiological hypertrophy (“good”) is characterised by a normal organisation of cardiac structure, and normal or enhanced cardiac function. In comparison, pathological hypertrophy (”bad”) is associated with fibrosis, cardiac dysfunction, and increased morbidity and mortality. The mechanistic process which allows the heart to enlarge in response to physiological stimuli while maintaining normal or enhanced function is of great clinical relevance because one potential therapeutic strategy is to inhibit the pathological growth process while augmenting the physiological growth process. One of the major process that regulate heart size is by phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). Thus the end goal of this project is to determine whether the p110 alpha isoform of PI3K could be a potential tool for augmenting physiological growth and improving cardiac function of the failing diseased heart, and to examine the underlying mechanisms responsible.

Project description:Failure of molecular chaperones to direct the correct folding of newly synthesized proteins leads to the accumulation of misfolded proteins in cells. HSPA4 is a member of the heat shock protein 110 family (HSP110) that acts as a nucleotide exchange factor of HSP70 chaperones. We found that the expression of HSPA4 is upregulated in murine hearts subjected to pressure overload and in failing human hearts. To investigate the cardiac function of HSPA4, Hspa4 knockout (KO) mice were generated and exhibited cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. Hspa4 KO hearts were characterized by a significant increase in heart weight/body weight ratio, elevated expression of hypertrophic and fibrotic gene markers, and concentric hypertrophy with preserved contractile functions. Cardiac hypertrophy in Hspa4 KO hearts was associated with enhanced activation of gp130-STAT3, CaMKII, and calcineurin-NFAT signaling. Further analyses revealed a significant increase in cross sectional area of cardiomyocytes, and in expression levels of hypertrophic markers in cultured neonatal Hspa4 KO cardiomyocytes suggesting that the hypertrophy of mutant mice was a result of primary defects in cardiomyocytes. Gene expression profile in hearts of 3.5-week-old mice revealed a differentially expressed gene sets related to ion channels and stress response. Taken together, these results reveal that HSPA4 is implicated in protection against pressure overload-induced heart failure. Total RNA was extracted from heart ventricles of 3.5-week-old Hspa4+/+ and Hspa4-/- males (n = 3 mice for each genotype).

Project description:Atherosclerosis and pressure overload are major risk factors for the development of heart failure in patients. Cardiac hypertrophy often precedes the development of heart failure. However, underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. To investigate pathomechanisms underlying the transition from cardiac hypertrophy to heart failure we used experimental models of atherosclerosis- and pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy and failure, i.e. apolipoprotein E (apoE)-deficient mice, which develop heart failure at an age of 18 months, and non-transgenic C57BL/6J (B6) mice with heart failure triggered by 6 months of pressure overload induced by abdominal aortic constriction (AAC). The development of heart failure was monitored by echocardiography, invasive hemodynamics and histology. The microarray gene expression study of cardiac genes was performed with heart tissue from failing hearts relative to hypertrophic and healthy heart tissue, respectively. The microarray study revealed that the onset of heart failure was accompanied by a strong up-regulation of cardiac lipid metabolism genes involved in fat synthesis, storage and oxidation.

Project description:Epigenetic status has been linked to cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. Histone deacetylase inhibitors are promising drugs for preventing cardiac remodeling. We previously demonstrated very different patterns of histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) and histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) in failing hearts compared to control hearts in both animal models and clinical heart specimens. Here, we focused on a heart failure-specific histone modification, H3K9me3, and investigated the prognostic efficacy of administering a histone H3K9 methyltransferase inhibitor, chaetocin, to Dahl salt-sensitive rats, an animal model of heart failure. Chaetocin delayed the timing of transition from cardiac hypertrophy to heart failure, and prolonged survival in this animal model. Mitochondrial dysfunction was improved with inhibitor use in the failing heart. ChIP-seq analysis demonstrated that heart failure caused an increase in H3K9me3 alignments in thousands of repetitive elements, including regions neighboring mitochondrial genes, and a corresponding reduction of this effect with inhibitor use. However, at 35 loci, heart failure was conversely associated with a reduction in H3K9me3 alignments, and inhibitor use reversed this effect. These data suggest that excessive heterochromatinization of repetitive elements in the failing heart might impair pumping function with mitochondrial gene silencing. H3K9 methyltransferase inhibitors may be a promising novel therapy for chronic heart failure.

Project description:An important event in the pathogenesis of heart failure is the development of pathological cardiac hypertrophy. In cultured cardiac cardiomyocytes, the transcription factor Gata4 is required for agonist-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. We hypothesized that in the intact organism Gata4 is an important regulator of postnatal heart function and of the hypertrophic response of the heart to pathological stress. To test this hypothesis, we studied mice heterozygous for deletion of the second exon of Gata4 (G4D). At baseline, G4D mice had mild systolic and diastolic dysfunction associated with reduced heart weight and decreased cardiomyocyte number. After transverse aortic constriction (TAC), G4D mice developed overt heart failure and eccentric cardiac hypertrophy, associated with significantly increased fibrosis and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Inhibition of apoptosis by overexpression of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor prevented TAC-induced heart failure in G4D mice. Unlike WT-TAC controls, G4D-TAC cardiomyocytes hypertrophied by increasing in length more than width. Gene expression profiling revealed upregulation of genes associated with apoptosis and fibrosis, including members of the TGF? pathway. Our data demonstrate that Gata4 is essential for cardiac function in the postnatal heart. After pressure overload, Gata4 regulates the pattern of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and protects the heart from load-induced failure. Experiment Overall Design: We reasoned that if Gata4 was a crucial regulator of pathways necessary for cardiac hypertrophy, then modest reductions of Gata4 activity should result in an observable cardiac phenotype. To test this hypothesis, we used gene targeted mice that express reduced levels of Gata4. We characterized these mice at baseline and after pressure Experiment Overall Design: overload.

Microarray gene expression profiling was performed with heart tissue isolated from (i) 18 month-old apoE-deficient mice relative to age-matched non-transgenic C57BL/6J (B6) mice, (ii) 6 month-old apoE-deficient mice with 2 months of chronic pressure overload induced by abdominal aortic constriction (AAC) relative to sham-operated apoE-deficient mice and nontransgenic B6 mice, (iii) 10 month-old B6 mice with 6 months of AAC relative to sham-operated B6 mice, and (iv) 5 month-old B6 mice with 1 month of AAC relative to age-matched B6 mice.
