Histone deacetylase inhibitor, CG200745, attenuates cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in DOCA-induced hypertensive rats.

ABSTRACT: CG200745 is a novel inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs), initially developed for treatment of various hematological and solid cancers. Because it is water-soluble, it can be administered orally. We hypothesized that the HDAC inhibitor, CG200745, attenuates cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-induced hypertensive rats. For establishment of hypertension, 40 mg/kg of DOCA was subcutaneously injected four times weekly into Sprague-Dawley rats. All the rats used in this study including those in the sham group had been unilaterally nephrectomized and allowed free access to drinking water containing 1% NaCl. Systolic blood pressure was measured by the tail-cuff method. Blood chemistry including sodium, potassium, glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels was analyzed. Sections of the heart were visualized after trichrome and hematoxylin and eosin stain. The expression of hypertrophic genes such as atrial natriuretic peptide A (Nppa) and atrial natriuretic peptide B (Nppb) in addition to fibrotic genes such as Collagen-1, Collagen-3, connective tissue growth factor (Ctgf), and Fibronectin were measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Injection of DOCA increased systolic blood pressure, heart weight, and cardiac fibrosis, which was attenuated by CG200745. Neither DOCA nor CG200745 affected body weight, vascular contraction and relaxation responses, and blood chemistry. Injection of DOCA increased expression of both hypertrophic and fibrotic genes, which was abrogated by CG200745. These results indicate that CG200745 attenuates cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in DOCA-induced hypertensive rats.

Project description:BackgroundSevere burns, trauma and shock can cause intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction, which can lead to intestinal endotoxemia and even sepsis and multi-organ dysfunction. Many studies have shown that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) can improve cell tolerance to hypoxia and inflammation, thus protecting the functions of important organs in the body, and at the same time, inhibiting the degradation of tight junction (TJ) proteins, protecting the intercellular barrier, and reducing tissue edema and organ damage. However, the mechanism is unclear.MethodsEighty male Sprague-Dawley rats (weighing 280-300 g) with a 50% total body surface area full-thickness dermal burn were randomly assigned to 4 groups (20 rats/group): sham control (SC group), scald + normal saline (SN group), scald + 2-methyl-2pentenoic acid (2M2P group), and scald + valproic acid (VPA group). After scalding, we measured the following parameters at various time intervals postburn injury: intestinal mucosal injury score, diamine oxidase (DAO) activity, intestinal protein expression of acetyl histone H3 at K9 (Ac-H3K9), hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), erythropoietin (EPO), zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) content, nitric oxide (NO) content, and intestinal mucosal blood flow (IMBF).ResultsIntestinal mucosa showed significant morphologic injury at 4 and 8 hours after scalding that was attenuated by VPA. DAO activity in the VPA group was significantly decreased compared with the other scald groups. At 4 and 8 hours after scalding, VPA enhanced Ac-H3K9 and ZO-1 expression and decreased HIF-1α and EPO expression in the intestine compared with the other scald groups. At 4 and 8 hours after scalding, eNOS and NO protein content and IMBF in the VPA group were markedly increased compared with the other scald groups.ConclusionsHDACIs attenuated intestinal mucosal injury in fatally scalded rats. This may have involved VPA enhancing Ac-H3K9 and ZO-1 expression, inhibiting HIF-1α and EPO expression and inducing eNOS and NO increments.

Project description:Compelling evidence has described that the incidence of hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in postmenopausal women is significantly increased worldwide. Our team's previous research identified that androgen was an underlying factor contributing to increased blood pressure and LVH in postmenopausal women. However, little is known about how androgens affect LVH in postmenopausal hypertensive women. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of mammalian rapamycin receptor (mTOR) signaling pathway in myocardial hypertrophy in androgen-induced postmenopausal hypertension and whether mTOR inhibitors can protect the myocardium from androgen-induced interference to prevent and treat cardiac hypertrophy. For that, ovariectomized (OVX) spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) aged 12 weeks were used to study the effects of testosterone (T 2.85 mg/kg/weekly i.m.) on blood pressure and myocardial tissue. On the basis of antihypertensive therapy (chlorthalidone 8 mg/kg/day ig), the improvement of blood pressure and myocardial hypertrophy in rats treated with different dose gradients of rapamycin (0.8 mg/kg/day vs 1.5 mg/kg/day vs 2 mg/kg/day i.p.) in OVX + estrogen (E 9.6 mg/kg/day, ig) + testosterone group was further evaluated. After testosterone intervention, the OVX female rats exhibited significant increments in the heart weight/tibial length (TL), area of cardiomyocytes and the mRNA expressions of ANP, β-myosin heavy chain and matrix metalloproteinase 9 accompanied by a significant reduction in the uterine weight/TL and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1. mTOR, ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K1), 4E-binding protein 1 (4EBP1) and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E in myocardial tissue of OVX + estrogen + testosterone group were expressed at higher levels than those of the other four groups. On the other hand, rapamycin abolished the effects of testosterone-induced cardiac hypertrophy, decreased the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of SHR, and inhibited the activation of mTOR/S6K1/4EBP1 signaling pathway in a concentration-dependent manner. Collectively, these data suggest that the mTOR/S6K1/4EBP1 pathway is an important therapeutic target for the prevention of LVH in postmenopausal hypertensive female rats with high testosterone levels. Our findings also support the standpoint that the mTOR inhibitor, rapamycin, can eliminate testosterone-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.
