Isoproterenol-Induced Cardiomyopathy Recovery Intervention: Amlexanox and Forskolin Enhances the Resolution of Catecholamine Stress-Induced Maladaptive Myocardial Remodeling.

ABSTRACT: The increasing incidence of stress-induced cardiomyopathy is due to the complexities of our modern-day lives, which constantly elicit stress responses. Herein, we aimed to explore the therapeutic potential of Amlexanox and Forskolin in promoting the recovery from stress-induced cardiomyopathy. Isoproterenol-induced cardiomyopathy (ICM) models were made, and the following treatment interventions were administered: 5% v/v DMSO as a placebo, Amlexanox (2.5 mg/100 g/day) treatment, Forskolin (0.5 mg/100 g/day), and Amlexanox and Forskolin combination, at their respective aforementioned dosages. The effects of Amlexanox and Forskolin treatment on ICM models were assessed by eletrocardiography and echocardiography. Also, using histological analysis and ELISA, their impact on myocardial architecture and inflammation were ascertained. ICM mice had excessive myocardial fibrosis, hypertrophy, and aggravated LVSDs which were accompanied by massive CD86+ inflammatory cells infiltration. Amlexanox treatment attenuated the myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and inflammation and also slightly improved systolic functions. Meanwhile, forskolin treatment resulted in arrhythmias but significantly enhanced the resolution of myocardial fibrosis and inflammation. Intriguingly, Amlexanox and Forskolin combination demonstrated the most potency at promoting the recovery of the ICM from LVSD by attenuating maladaptive myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and inflammatory responses. Our findings highlight the Amlexanox and Forskolin combination as a potential therapeutic intervention for enhancing cardiac function recovery from stress-induced cardiomyopathy by promoting the resolution of maladaptive cardiac remodeling.

Project description:Chronic catecholamine stress (CCS) induces the occurrence of cardiomyopathy-pathological cardiac hypertrophy (PCH), which is characterized by left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). Recently, mounting evidence has implicated myocardial inflammation in the exacerbation of pathological cardiac remodeling. However, there are currently no well-defined treatment interventions or regimes targeted at both the attenuation of maladaptive myocardial hypertrophy and inflammation during CCS to prevent PCH. G protein-coupled receptor kinase 5 (GRK5) and adenylyl cyclases (ACs)-cAMP mediates both cardiac and inflammatory responses. Also, GRK5 and ACs are implicated in stress-induced LVSD. Herein, we aimed at preventing PCH during CCS via modulating adaptive cardiac and inflammatory responses by inhibiting GRK5 and/or stimulating ACs. Isoproterenol-induced cardiomyopathy (ICM) was modeled using 0.5 mg/100 g/day isoproterenol injections for 40 days. Alterations in cardiac and inflammatory responses were assessed from the myocardia. Similarities in the immunogenicity of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and lipopolysaccharide under CCS were assessed, and Amlexanox (35 μM/ml) and/or Forskolin (10 μM/ml) were then employed in vitro to modulate adaptive inflammatory responses by inhibiting GRK5 or activating ACs-cAMP, respectively. Subsequently, Amlexanox (2.5 mg/100 g/day) and/or Forskolin (0.5 mg/100 g/day) were then translated into in vivo during CCS to modulate adaptive cardiac and inflammatory responses. The effects of Amlexanox and Forskolin on regulating myocardial systolic functions and inflammatory responses during CCS were ascertained afterward. PCH mice had excessive myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and aggravated LVSD, which were accompanied by massive CD68+ inflammatory cell infiltrations. In vitro, Forskolin-AC/cAMP was effective than Amlexanox-GRK5 at downregulating proinflammatory responses during stress; nonetheless, Amlexanox and Forskolin combination demonstrated the most efficacy in modulating adaptive inflammatory responses. Individually, the translated Amlexanox and Forskolin treatment interventions were ineffective at subduing the pathological remodeling and sustaining cardiac function during CCS. However, their combination was potent at preventing LVSD during CCS by attenuating maladaptive myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and inflammatory responses. The treatment intervention attained its potency mainly via Forskolin-ACs/cAMP-mediated modulation of cardiac and inflammatory responses, coupled with Amlexanox inhibition of GRK5 mediated maladaptive cascades. Taken together, our findings highlight the Amlexanox and Forskolin combination as a potential therapeutic intervention for preventing the occurrence of pathological cardiac hypertrophy during chronic stress.

Project description:BackgroundThe presence and significance of neural remodeling in premature ventricular contraction-induced cardiomyopathy (PVC-CM) remain unknown.ObjectivesThis study aimed to characterize cardiac sympathovagal balance and proarrhythmia in a canine model of PVC-CM.MethodsIn 12 canines, the investigators implanted epicardial pacemakers and radiotelemetry units to record cardiac rhythm and nerve activity (NA) from the left stellate ganglion (SNA), left cardiac vagus (VNA), and arterial blood pressure. Bigeminal PVCs (200 ms coupling) were applied for 12 weeks to induce PVC-CM in 7 animals then disabled for 4 weeks to allow complete recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), versus 5 sham controls.ResultsAfter 12 weeks of PVCs, LVEF (p = 0.006) and dP/dT (p = 0.007) decreased. Resting SNA (p = 0.002) and VNA (p = 0.04), exercise SNA (p = 0.01), SNA response to evoked PVCs (p = 0.005), heart rate (HR) at rest (p = 0.003), and exercise (p < 0.04) increased, whereas HR variability (HRV) decreased (p = 0.009). There was increased spontaneous atrial (p = 0.02) and ventricular arrhythmias (p = 0.03) in PVC-CM. Increased SNA preceded both atrial (p = 0.0003) and ventricular (p = 0.009) arrhythmia onset. Clonidine suppressed SNA and abolished all arrhythmias. After disabling PVC for 4 weeks, LVEF (p = 0.01), dP/dT (p = 0.047), and resting VNA (p = 0.03) recovered to baseline levels. However, SNA, resting HR, HRV, and atrial (p = 0.03) and ventricular (p = 0.03) proarrhythmia persisted. There was sympathetic hyperinnervation in stellate ganglia (p = 0.02) but not ventricles (p = 0.2) of PVC-CM and recovered animals versus sham controls.ConclusionsNeural remodeling in PVC-CM is characterized by extracardiac sympathetic hyperinnervation and sympathetic neural hyperactivity that persists despite normalization of LVEF. The altered cardiac sympathovagal balance is an important trigger and substrate for atrial and ventricular proarrhythmia.

Project description:Background:Metabolic remodeling plays a vital role in the development of heart failure. The trimetazidine can optimize fatty acid and glucose oxidation via inhibition of long-chain 3-ketoacyl CoA thiolase in the heart. So, trimetazidine commonly used in cardiovascular therapy as a myocardial metabolic drug. This study was conducted to assess the effects and mechanisms of trimetazidine on ketone body metabolism in heart failure rats. Methods:A rat model of heart failure was established by continuous subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol in 10 mg/kg/d. We examined body weight, heart weight index, and tested B-type natriuretic peptide by kit. We detected the structure and function of the heart. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson's trichrome staining was performed to assess myocardial tissue morphology. To evaluate apoptosis, we used Tunel staining. Metabolic substrate contents of glucose, free fatty acid, ketone bodies, lactic acid, and pyruvate and ATP levels in myocardial tissues were measured with the corresponding kit. We detected the levels of protein expressions related to myocardial substrate uptake and utilization by Western blot. Results:Trimetazidine remarkably reduced the heart weight index and B-type natriuretic peptide levels. Besides, trimetazidine increased the level of blood pressure and decreased heart rate. Moreover, trimetazidine inhibited decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular fractional shortening. Further, trimetazidine decreased the levels of collagen volume fraction and promoted ATP production in myocardial tissues. Trimetazidine also reduced the levels of free fatty acid, ketone bodies, lactic acid, and increased glucose and pyruvate levels in myocardial tissues. Furthermore, trimetazidine markedly inhibited apoptosis. More importantly, the protein expression levels related to myocardial substrate uptake and utilization increased dramatically in the trimetazidine group. In particular, the protein expressions related to ketone body utilization were prominent. Conclusions:Trimetazidine could attenuate metabolic remodeling and improve cardiac function in heart failure rats. The potential mechanism for the cardioprotective effect of trimetazidine may be highly associated with its regulation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase, and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor ? expressions. Along with the regulation, myocardial substrate utilization was improved, especially the utilization of ketone bodies.
