Cardiomyocyte-specific knockout of ADAM17 alleviates doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy via inhibiting TNFα-TRAF3-TAK1-MAPK axis

ABSTRACT: Doxorubicin as a commonly used anthracycline has become the cornerstone of chemotherapy in a wide range of cancers owing to its high efficacy. However, clinical applications of doxorubicin are limited mainly due to its toxic effects on myocardium but the pathogenic mechanism of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy are poorly understood. ADAM17 is known as tumor necrosis factor α converting enzyme (TACE), and the cleavage of TNF-α by ADAM17 is a prerequisite for pro-inflammatory TNF-α activity, which raises a possibility that inhibition of ADAM17 may exert a beneficial effect on disease processes where TNF-α plays an essential role. Our previous research has shown that cardiomyocyte specific knockout of ADAM17 improves diabetic cardiomyopathy by modulating cardiomyocyte apoptosis. However, the relationship between ADAM17 and doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy is unclear.Through RNA sequencing analysis, we observed significant changes in the TNF signaling pathway genes in the heart tissue of mice with or without cardiomyocyte ADAM17 knockout.

Project description:Objective: The metalloprotease ADAM17 (also called TACE) plays fundamental roles in homeostasis by shedding key signaling molecules from the cell surface. Although its importance for the immune system and epithelial tissues is well-documented, little is known about the role of ADAM17 in metabolic homeostasis. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of ADAM17 expression, specifically in adipose tissues, on metabolic homeostasis. Methods: We used histopathology, molecular, proteomic, transcriptomic, in vivo integrative physiological and ex vivo biochemical approaches to determine the impact of adipose tissue-specific deletion of ADAM17 upon adipocyte and whole organism metabolic physiology. Results: ADAM17adipoq-cre mice exhibited a hypermetabolic phenotype characterized by elevated energy consumption and increased levels of adipocyte thermogenic gene expression. On a high fat diet, these mice were more thermogenic, while exhibiting elevated expression levels of genes associated with lipid oxidation and lipolysis. This hypermetabolic phenotype protected mutant mice from obesogenic challenge, limiting weight gain, hepatosteatosis and insulin resistance. Activation of beta-adrenoceptors by the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, a key regulator of adipocyte physiology, triggered the shedding of ADAM17 substrates, and regulated ADAM17 expression at the mRNA and protein levels, hence identifying a functional connection between thermogenic licensing and the regulation of ADAM17. Proteomic studies identified Semaphorin 4B (SEMA4B), as a novel ADAM17-shed adipokine, whose expression is regulated by physiological thermogenic cues, that acts to inhibit adipocyte differentiation and dampen thermogenic responses in adipocytes. Transcriptomic data showed that cleaved SEMA4B acts in an autocrine manner in brown adipocytes to dampen the expression of genes involved in thermogenesis, adipogenesis, and lipid uptake, storage and catabolism. Conclusion: Our findings identify a novel ADAM17-dependent axis, regulated by beta-adrenoceptors and mediated by the ADAM17-cleaved form of SEMA4B, that modulates energy balance in adipocytes by inhibiting adipocyte differentiation, thermogenesis and lipid catabolism.
