Genome-wide changes in gene expression during the development and after recovery from heart failure in a mouse model of transient cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT: Altered myocardial gene expression from heart failure (HF) has mostly been identified by single-point analysis of end-stage disease. This may miss earlier changes in gene expression that are transient and/or directionally opposite to those observed later. By sampling left ventricular myocardial tissue at different time points in a mouse model of cardiomyopathy, we examined differentially expressed transcripts between non-failing controls, early-HF (2 and 3 days after cardiac insult), peak-HF (10 days) and after recovery from HF (28 days). As a results, we found that gene expression followed varying patterns: Downregulation of metabolic pathways occurred early and was sustained into late stage-HF. In contrast, most signaling pathways undergo a complex biphasic pattern: Calcium signaling, p53, apoptosis and MAP-kinase pathways displayed a bi-directional response, declining early but rising late, while NF-κB-related transcription displayed the opposite pattern. The HF-induced transcriptomic changes were reversed after recovery at 28 days. We conclude that the myocardial transcriptome in evolving HF displays distinct and dynamic transcript clusters. Therapies targeting different phases of HF should consider these dynamic features when identifying high-value targets. Mice expressing mutated estrogen receptor-coupled Cre under transcriptional control of cardiac-specific myosin heavy chain (MerCreMer, MCM, 005650;Jackson Laboratories, Bar Harbor, ME) were back-crossed for >10 generations with C57Bl6/J. Transient cardiomyopathy develops in these mice following 5 day exposure to tamoxifen free base (T5648, Sigma), with peak dysfunction at day 10 and full recovery after 4 weeks. Full transcriptome analyses were generated from flash-frozen left ventricular myocardium at different time points (control = baseline, day 2, day 3, day 10, and day 28).

Altered cardiac gene expression in heart failure (HF) has mostly been identified by single-point analysis of end-stage disease. This may miss earlier changes in gene expression that are transient and/or directionally opposite to those observed later. Myocardial datasets from the largest microarray data repository (Gene Expression Omnibus) yielded six HF studies with time-course data. Differentially expressed transcripts between nonfailing controls, early HF (<3 days after cardiac insult) and lat ...[more]

Project description:Impaired myocardial contractile function is a hallmark of heart failure (HF) which may present under resting conditions and/or during physiological stress. Previous studies reported that high fat feeding in HF is associated with improved myocardial contractile function at baseline. Our goal was to determine whether myocardial function is compromised in response to physiological stress and to evaluate the global gene expression profile of rats fed high dietary fat following infarction. Male Wistar rats underwent ligation or sham surgery and were fed normal (10% kcal fat) (SHAM+NC, HF+NC) or high fat (60% kcal saturated fat) (SHAM+SAT, HF+SAT) for 8 weeks. Myocardial contractile function was assessed using a Millar pressure-volume (PV) conductance catheter at baseline, during inferior vena caval occlusions and dobutamine (DOB) stress. Steady state indices of systolic function, left ventricular (LV)+dP/dtmax, stroke work and maximal power were increased in HF+SAT vs HF+NC; HF+NC were reduced vs SHAM+NC. Preload-recruitable measures of contractility [end systolic PV relationship, maximal elastance, preload recruitable SW and peak+dP/dtmax to end diastolic volume] were decreased in HF+NC but not HF+SAT. β-adrenergic responsiveness (delta-LV+dP/dtmax and delta-cardiac output DOB 0-10 µg•kg-1•min-1) was reduced in HF, but high fat feeding did not further impact contractile reserve in HF. Contractile reserve was reduced by high fat in SHAM+SAT. Microarray gene expression analysis reveals the majority of significantly altered pathways identified to contain multiple gene targets correspond to cell signaling pathways and energy metabolism. These findings suggest that high saturated fat improves myocardial function at rest and during physiological stress in infarcted hearts, but may negatively impact contractile reserve under non-pathological conditions. Furthermore, high fat feeding-induced alterations in gene expression related to energy metabolism and specific signaling pathways reveal promising targets through which high saturated fat potentially mediates cardioprotection in heart failure/LV dysfunction. Comparison of gene expression in heart failure or sham surgery hearts exposed to saturated or normal diets. Male Wistar rats (300-350g) were maintained on a reverse light-dark cycle and all procedures were done 3-6 hours into the dark phase cycle to synchronize with the normal active state of the rodents. Rats were randomly assigned to receive either a sham-operation (SH) or coronary ligation to induce cardiac dysfunction (HF). Heart failure was induced by ligating the left main coronary artery. Following surgery, rats were immediately fed either a normal rodent chow (NC) or a high saturated fat chow (SAT) with 60% caloric content derived from fat (25% palmitic, 33% stearic, 33% oleic acid, Research Diets).
