PHD2/3-dependent hydroxylation of thyroid hormone receptor-Î± mediates the transcriptional regulation of phospholamban to tune the cardiac response to chronic Î²-adrenergic stress

ABSTRACT: Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of heart failure. Both clinical trials and experimental animal studies demonstrate that chronic hypoxia can induce contractile dysfunction even before substantial ventricular damage, implicating a direct role of oxygen in the regulation of cardiac contractile function. Prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD) proteins are well recognized as oxygen sensors and mediate a wide variety of cellular events by hydroxylating a growing list of protein substrates. Both PHD2 and 3 are highly expressed in the heart, yet their functional roles in modulating contractile function remain incompletely understood. Here, we report that combined deletion of PHD2 and 3 dramatically decreases the expression of phospholamban (PLN), results in sustained activation of CaMKII and sensitizes mice to myocardial injury induced by chronic Î²-adrenergic stress. We provide evidence that thyroid hormone receptor-Î± (TR-Î±), a transcriptional regulator of PLN, interacts with PHD2 and 3 and is hydroxylated at two proline residues. Inhibition of PHDs increases the interaction between TR-Î± and nuclear receptor co-repressor 2 (NCOR2) and suppresses PLN transcription. These observations provide new mechanistic insights into how oxygen directly modulates cardiac contractility, providing the possibility that cardiac function can be modulated therapeutically by tuning PHD enzymatic activity. Two-condition experiment comparing gene expression in hearts isolated from PHD2/3f/f; Cre-/- and PHD2/3f/f; Cre+/- mice. Three biological replicates (mouse hearts) per condition.

Project description:Background: The phospholamban (PLN) p.Arg14del mutation belongs to the established causes of dilated cardiomyopathy, with the molecular disease mechanisms incompletely understood. We used human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing and patient heart samples to investigate the molecular pathomechanisms of PLN p.Arg14del cardiomyopathy. Methods and results: Patient dermal fibroblasts carrying the PLN p.Arg14del mutation were reprogrammed into hiPSC, isogenic controls were established by CRISPR/Cas9. Cells were differentiated into cardiomyocytes and characterized in 2D and 3D-engineered heart tissue (EHT) format. Mutant cardiomyocytes revealed significantly prolonged Ca2+ transient decay time, Ca2+-load dependent irregular beating pattern and lower peak force compared to isogenic controls. While this data support the reported super-inhibitory effect of PLN p.Arg14del on the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase, an unchanged SR Ca2+ content argued against disturbed SR Ca2+ cycling as the sole cause of contractile dysfunction. Label-free proteomic analysis of p.Arg14del EHTs revealed less endoplasmic reticulum (ER), ribosomal and mitochondrial proteins. Electron microscopy showed dilation of the rough ER, large lipid droplets in close association with mitochondria and reduced mitochondrial number. Follow-up experiments confirmed impairment of the rough ER/mitochondria compartment and enhanced oxidative stress in PLN p.Arg14del. Relevance for human disease was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry of human heart samples. PLN p.Arg14del end-stage heart failure samples revealed perinuclear aggregates positive for ER marker proteins and oxidative stress in comparison to ischemic heart failure - and non-failing donor heart samples. Surprisingly, transduction of PLN p.Arg14del EHTs with the Ca2+ binding protein GCaMP6f reversed the contractile, molecular and morphological disease phenotype. Conclusion: This study identified impairment of the rough ER/mitochondria compartment without SR dysfunction as a novel disease mechanism underlying PLN p.Arg14del cardiomyopathy. The pathology was improved by Ca2+-scavenging, suggesting impaired local Ca2+ cycling as an important disease culprit.
