Changes in collagen and elastin in rabbit right-ventricular pressure overload.

ABSTRACT: Collagen content, the ratio of collagen types I and III and elastin content were measured in 5-6- and 10-12-week-old rabbits with and without right-ventricular pressure overload. Significant and equivalent hypertrophy occurred in both age groups. A 2-day pressure overload caused a fall in collagen concentration below control levels in right-ventricular tissue from the older animals, but no change in the younger ones. A 2-week pressure overload in the older animals resulted in a rise in collagen concentration, a decreased ratio of type III to type I plus III [III/(I + III)] collagens, a fall in desmosine concentration and a fall in the desmosine/hydroxyproline ratio in the right ventricle. None of these changes occurred in the younger age group. We hypothesize that the changes in connective-tissue proteins after overload in the older group may contribute to previously observed changes in mechanical performance. The divergent connective-tissue responses in the two groups suggest the importance of age in determining outcome, as well as the possibility of separate regulatory mechanisms for contractile and for architectural elements of the heart.

Transcriptomic and Functional Analyses of Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Pressure Overload-induced Right Ventricular Failure

Project description:Background: In complex congenital heart disease patients such as those with tetralogy of Fallot, the right ventricle (RV) is subject to pressure overload, leading to RV hypertrophy and eventually RV failure. The mechanisms that promote the transition from stable RV hypertrophy to RV failure are unknown. We evaluated the role of mitochondrial bioenergetics in the development of RV failure. Methods: We created a murine model of RV pressure overload by pulmonary artery banding and compared with sham-operated controls. Gene expression by RNA-sequencing, oxidative stress, mitochondrial respiration, dynamics, and structure were assessed in pressure overload-induced RV failure. Results: RV failure was characterized by decreased expression of electron transport chain genes and mitochondrial antioxidant genes (aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 and superoxide dismutase 2) and increased expression of oxidant stress markers (heme oxygenase, 4-hydroxynonenal). The activities of all electron transport chain complexes decreased with RV hypertrophy and further with RV failure (oxidative phosphorylation: sham 552.3±43.07 vs. RV hypertrophy 334.3±30.65 vs. RV failure 165.4±36.72 pmol/(sec*ml), p<0.0001). Mitochondrial fission protein DRP1 did not change, while MFF decreased and fusion protein OPA1 decreased. In contrast, transcription of electron transport chain genes increased in the left ventricle of RV failure. Conclusion: Pressure overload-induced RV failure is characterized by decreased transcription and activity of electron transport chain complexes and increased oxidative stress which are associated with decreased energy generation. An improved understanding of the complex processes of energy generation could aid in developing novel therapies to mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction and delay the onset of RV failure.

Pressure overload greatly promotes neonatal right ventricular cardiomyocyte proliferation - a new model for heart regeneration study

Project description:Background: Current mammalian model for heart regeneration research is limited in apex amputation or myocardium infarction, both of which are controversy. Moreover, RNAseq demonstrated there were a very limited set of differential expressed genes between sham and operation heart in the myocardium infarction model. Here we investigated whether pressure overload in the right ventricle(RV), a common phenomenon in congenital heart disease children, could be a better animal model for heart regeneration study when consider cardiomyocyte(CM) proliferation as the most important index. Methods and results: Pressure overload was induced by pulmonary artery banding (PAB) on day1 and confirmed by echocardiography and hemodynamic measurements at postnatal day 7(P7). RNAseq analyses of purified RVCM at P7 from PAB and sham-operated rats revealed there were 5469 differential expressed genes between these two groups. GO and KEGG analysis showed that these genes mainly mediated mitosis and cell division. Cell proliferation assay indicates a continuous over-proliferation of RVCM after PAB, in particular for P3. In addition, there were ~2 times-fold increase of Ki67/Phh3 -positive CM in human overload RV compared to non-overload RV. Other features about this model included CM hypotrophy and no fibrosis.. Conclusions: Pressure overload profoundly promotes RVCM proliferation in the neonatal stage both in rats and human beings, activated a regeneration-specific gene program, and may offer a better alternative animal model for heart regeneration research..
