Targeting Myocardial Mitochondria-STING-Polyamine Axis Prevents Cardiac Hypertrophy in Chronic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is well recognized as a distinct contributor to cardiac hypertrophy, while the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. Here, the authors show that myocardial mitochondrial oxidative damage is early and prominent in CKD and distinctively stimulates the STING-NFκB pathway by releasing mitochondrial DNA to drive cardiac hypertrophy. Furthermore, the authors reveal that ornithine decarboxylase (ODC1)-putrescine metabolic flux is transactivated by NFκB and is required for the STING-NFκB pathway to drive cardiac hypertrophy. Finally, genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of the myocardial mitochondria-STING-NFκB-ODC1 axis significantly prevents CKD-associated cardiac hypertrophy. Therefore, targeting the myocardial mitochoandria-STING-NFκB-ODC1 axis is a promising therapeutic strategy for cardiac hypertrophy in patients with CKD.

Project description:The excessive inflammation triggered by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) after myocardial infarction (MI) is responsible for the development of cardiac dysfunction and adverse remodeling, while the mechanisms by which inflammation is fine tuned remain to be fully elucidated. MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) has been shown to function in cardiovascular diseases, while its role in inflammatory responses and cardiac function post MI in mice remains unknown. Here, we found that miR-21 expression was markedly increased in border and infarct areas of cardiac tissues during the early inflammatory phase of MI model established by ligating the left-anterior descending coronary artery. MiR-21 knockout mice had decreased survival rates, worse cardiac dysfunction, and increased infarct and scar areas after MI compared with WT mice. MiR-21 knockout mice showed significantly higher levels of inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in cardiac tissues, as well as infiltration of CD11b+ monocytes/macrophages with higher expression level of inflammatory cytokines. MI induced the great release of high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) and heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) in cardiac tissue. MiR-21 deficiency significantly promoted the inflammatory cytokine production triggered by DAMPs in macrophages, whereas, miR-21 overexpression markedly inhibited the inflammatory cytokine production. Mechanistically, miR-21 deficiency enhanced p38 and NF-κB signaling activation in cardiac tissue post MI and macrophages treated with DAMPs. MiR-21 was found to directly target kelch repeat and BTB (POZ) domain containing 7 (KBTBD7), which promoted DAMP-triggered inflammatory responses in macrophages. Furthermore, KBTBD7 interacted with MKK3/6 and promoted their activation, which in turn enhanced the activation of downstream p38 and NF-κB signaling induced by DAMPs. Therefore, our findings demonstrate that miR-21 attenuates inflammation, cardiac dysfunction, and maladaptive remodeling post MI through targeting KBTBD7 and inhibiting p38 and NF-κB signaling activation, suggesting that miR-21 may function as a novel potential therapeutic target for MI.

Project description:BackgroundPathological cardiac hypertrophy occurs in response to numerous stimuli and precedes heart failure (HF). Therapies that ameliorate pathological cardiac hypertrophy are highly needed.MethodsThe expression level of miR-30d was analyzed in hypertrophy models and serum of patients with chronic heart failure by qRT-PCR. Gain and loss-of-function experiments of miR-30d were performed in vitro. miR-30d gain of function were performed in vivo. Bioinformatics, western blot, luciferase assay, qRT-PCR, and immunofluorescence were performed to examine the molecular mechanisms of miR-30d.FindingsmiR-30d was decreased in both murine and neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) models of hypertrophy. miR-30d overexpression ameliorated phenylephrine (PE) and angiotensin II (Ang II) induced hypertrophy in NRCMs, whereas the opposite phenotype was observed when miR-30d was downregulated. Consistently, the miR-30d transgenic rat was found to protect against isoproterenol (ISO)-induced pathological hypertrophy. Mechanistically, methyltransferase EZH2 could promote H3K27me3 methylation in the promotor region of miR-30d and suppress its expression during the pathological cardiac hypertrophy. miR-30d prevented pathological cardiac hypertrophy via negatively regulating its target genes MAP4K4 and GRP78 and inhibiting pro-hypertrophic nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). Adeno-associated virus (AAV) serotype 9 mediated-miR-30d overexpression exhibited beneficial effects in murine hypertrophic model. Notably, miR-30d was reduced in serum of patients with chronic heart failure and miR-30d overexpression could significantly ameliorate pathological hypertrophy in human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.InterpretationOverexpression of miR-30d may be a potential approach to treat pathological cardiac hypertrophy.FundingThis work was supported by the grants from National Key Research and Development Project (2018YFE0113500 to J Xiao), National Natural Science Foundation of China (82020108002 to J Xiao, 81900359 to J Li), the grant from Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality (20DZ2255400 and 21XD1421300 to J Xiao, 22010500200 to J Li), Shanghai Sailing Program (19YF1416400 to J Li), the "Dawn" Program of Shanghai Education Commission (19SG34 to J Xiao), the "Chen Guang" project supported by the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission and Shanghai Education Development Foundation (19CG45 to J Li).
