Calpains as Potential Therapeutic Targets for Myocardial Hypertrophy.

ABSTRACT: Despite advances in its treatment, heart failure remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, evidencing an urgent need for novel mechanism-based targets and strategies. Myocardial hypertrophy, caused by a wide variety of chronic stress stimuli, represents an independent risk factor for the development of heart failure, and its prevention constitutes a clinical objective. Recent studies performed in preclinical animal models support the contribution of the Ca²⁺-dependent cysteine proteases calpains in regulating the hypertrophic process and highlight the feasibility of their long-term inhibition as a pharmacological strategy. In this review, we discuss the existing evidence implicating calpains in the development of cardiac hypertrophy, as well as the latest advances in unraveling the underlying mechanisms. Finally, we provide an updated overview of calpain inhibitors that have been explored in preclinical models of cardiac hypertrophy and the progress made in developing new compounds that may serve for testing the efficacy of calpain inhibition in the treatment of pathological cardiac hypertrophy.

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) triggers a potent inflammatory response via the release of circulatory mediators, including extracellular vesicles (EVs) by damaged cardiac cells, necessary for myocardial healing. Timely repression of inflammatory response are critical to prevent and minimize cardiac tissue injuries, nonetheless, progression in this aspect remains challenging. The ability of EVs to trigger a functional response upon delivery of carried bioactive cargos, have made them clinically attractive diagnostic biomarkers and vectors for therapeutic interventions. Using label-free quantitative proteomics approach, we compared the protein cargo of plasma EVs between patients with MI and from patients with stable angina (NMI). We report, for the first time, the proteomics profiling on 252 EV proteins that were modulated with >1.2-fold after MI. We identified six up-regulated biomarkers with potential for clinical applications; these reflected post-infarct pathways of complement activation (Complement C1q subcomponent subunit A (C1QA), 3.23-fold change, p = 0.012; Complement C5 (C5), 1.27-fold change, p = 0.087), lipoprotein metabolism (Apoliporotein D (APOD), 1.86-fold change, p = 0.033; Apolipoprotein C-III (APOCC3), 2.63-fold change, p = 0.029) and platelet activation (Platelet glycoprotein Ib alpha chain (GP1BA), 9.18-fold change, p < 0.0001; Platelet basic protein (PPBP), 4.72-fold change, p = 0.027). The data have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD002950. This novel biomarker panel was validated in 43 patients using antibody-based assays (C1QA (p = 0.005); C5 (p = 0.0047), APOD (p = 0.0267); APOC3 (p = 0.0064); GP1BA (p = 0.0031); PPBP (p = 0.0465)). We further present that EV-derived fibrinogen components were paradoxically down-regulated in MI, suggesting that a compensatory mechanism may suppress post-infarct coagulation pathways, indicating potential for therapeutic targeting of this mechanism in MI. Taken together, these data demonstrated that plasma EVs contain novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets that can be further developed for clinical use to benefit patients with coronary artery diseases (CADs).

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI), an undesirable clinical outcome of coronary artery disease (CAD), triggers a potent inflammatory response via the release of circulatory mediators, including extracellular vesicles (EVs) by damaged cardiac cells, which is necessary for myocardial healing. However, when in excess, causes pathological tissue remodeling and eventual heart failure. Timely repression of MI-induced inflammatory response are critical to prevent and minimize cardiac tissue injuries, nonetheless, progression in this aspect remains clinically challenging. The well documentation on the ability of EVs to trigger a functional response with the delivery of bioactive cargos carried within, have made them clinically attractive as diagnostic biomarkers and drug vectors for therapeutic interventions. Using label-free quantitative proteomics approach, we compared the protein cargo of plasma EVs between patients with (MI) and from control patients with stable angina (NMI). We report, for the first time, the expression proteomics profiling on 252 plasma EV proteins that were modulated with >1.2-fold in myocardial injury. We identified a panel of six strongly up-regulated biomarkers with significant potential for clinical applications; these reflected post-infarct pathways of complement activation (Complement C1q subcomponent subunit A [C1QA], ~3.23-fold change, p = 0.012; Complement C5 [C5], ~1.27-fold change, p = 0.087), lipoprotein metabolism (Apoliporotein D [APOD], ~1.86-fold change, p = 0.033; Apolipoprotein C-III [APOCC3], ~2.63-fold change, p = 0.029) and platelet activation (Platelet glycoprotein Ib alpha chain [GP1BA], ~9.18-fold change, p < 0.0001; Platelet basic protein [PPBP], ~4.72-fold change, p = 0.027). The data have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD002950. This novel biomarker panel was successfully validated in a separate cohort of 43 individual angina patients using Luminex analysis of the representative EV proteins C1QA (p = 0.005) and C5 (p = 0.0021), which act as critical regulators of complement activity in MI. We further present that all EV-derived fibrinogen components detected were paradoxically down-regulated in MI, suggesting that a compensatory mechanism may suppress post-infarct coagulation pathways, and indicating potential for therapeutic targeting of this mechanism in MI. Taken together, these data urge the further development of novel EV-based diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to benefit patients with CAD.
