The nutrient sensor CRTC and Sarcalumenin/Thinman represent a new pathway in cardiac hypertrophy


ABSTRACT: CREB-Regulated Transcription Co-activator (CRTC) regulates metabolism in liver where activation by calcineurin regulates gluconeogenic genes. CaN also has roles in pathological cardiac hypertrophy, however cardiac roles for CRTC have not been identified. In Drosophila, CRTC null mutants exhibit severe cardiac restriction, myofibrillar disorganization, cardiac fibrosis, and tachycardia. Cardiac-specific knockdown (KD) of CRTC mimicked the heart defects of CRTC mutants and cardiac-overexpression (OE) of CRTC or calcineurin caused hypertrophy that was reduced in CRTC mutants, suggesting CRTC mediates calcineurin’s effects. RNAseq of CRTC KD or OE hearts revealed contra-regulated genes involved in glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid metabolism. Genes with conserved CREB binding sites included the fly ortholog of Sarcalumenin, a Ca2+-binding protein. Cardiac KD of this gene recapitulated CRTC KD restriction and fibrotic phenotypes. KD in zebrafish also caused restriction, indicating a conserved role in cardiomyocyte maintenance, and suggesting CaN-CRTC-Sarcalumenin signaling represents a novel pathway underlying cardiac hypertrophy.
