JMJD1A Represses the Development of Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy by Regulating the Expression of Catalase.

ABSTRACT: The histone demethylase JMJD family is involved in various physiological and pathological functions. However, the roles of JMJD1A in the cardiovascular system remain unknown. Here, we studied the function of JMJD1A in cardiac hypertrophy. The mRNA and protein levels of JMJD1A were significantly downregulated in the hearts of human patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and the hearts of C57BL/6 mice underwent cardiac hypertrophy induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery or isoproterenol (ISO) infusion. In neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs), siRNA-mediated JMJD1A knockdown facilitated ISO or angiotensin II-induced increase in cardiomyocyte size, protein synthesis, and expression of hypertrophic fetal genes, including atrial natriuretic peptide (Anp<
