Project description:We previously identified a role for the muscle-specific ubiquitin ligase MuRF1 (Muscle Ring Finger-1) in cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. We found that cardiomyocyte-specific (alphaMHC-) MuRF1 transgenic mice (MuRF1 Tg+) mice were significantly protected from I/R injury. As we discovered MuRF1’s regulation of other transcriptions factors, we sought to identify other ways in which MuRF1 was cardioprotective in I/R injury. In the present study, we first identified the regulation of MuRF1 expression by qPCR in a porcine model of I/R injury. MuRF1 mRNA significantly increased within 90 minutes of I/R injury. We next assayed MuRF1 Tg+ ventricular tissue after I/R reperfusion injury by microarray (44K transcripts) to identify how MuRF1 regulates the transcriptome. We identified 71 significantly altered genes having a >1.5-fold (p<0.01) in MuRF1 Tg+ and wildtype hearts challenged with I/R injury (or sham operation). Functional annotation of the top upregulated genes found enrichment for myogenesis, cell adhesion, and nucleic acid metabolism. TRANSFAC analysis of MuRF1 Tg+ significant genes identified enrichment for genes (30-53%) with promoter regions recognized by the transcription factors MAZ, PIT1, VMW65, and BACH2. The transcription factor MAZ binds muscle creatine kinase (MCK) promoter in skeletal and cardiac myocytes, known most for its regulation of myogenin and MEF2C in cardiomyocytes. While the role of PIT1 and BACH2 in adult cardiomyocytes is not clear, VMW65 is a powerful transactivator with functions in chromatin remodeling. In neonatal cardiomycoyte I/R injury, VMW65 associates with HIF1alpha to upregulate cardioprotective VEGF, Glut-1, Glut-4, HSP70, and iNOS expression. These findings elucidate the MuRF1-specific regulation of genes in cardiac I/R injury that are associated with cardioprotection and may represent multiple additional direct or indirect mechanisms that MuRF1 regulates cardiomyocyte signaling.

Project description:Muscle ring finger (MuRF) proteins have been implicated in the transmission of mechanical forces to nuclear cell signaling pathways through their association with the sarcomere. We recently reported that MuRF1, but not MuRF2, regulated pathologic cardiac hypertrophy in vivo. This was surprising since MuRF1 and MuRF2 interact redundantly with sarcomeric proteins in yeast two hybrid studies, and form both homo- and hetero-dimers with each other. To determine if MuRF1 and MuRF2 were functionally redundant during development, we created mice lacking either 3 or 4 of the MuRF1 and MuRF2 alleles and compared them functionally. Surprisingly, only mice missing all four MuRF1 and MuRF2 alleles (MuRF1-/-//MuRF2-/-) developed a spontaneous hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - mice that were null for one of the genes, but heterozygous for the other (i.e. MuRF1-/-//MuRF2+/- or MuRF1+/-//MuRF2-/-) were phenotypically identical to wild type mice. Electron microscopy of the hearts of MuRF1-/-//MuRF2-/-(MuRF1/MuRF2 DN) mice identified altered Z disc and M line architecture, and a distinct swelling of mitochondria. MuRF1-/-//MuRF2-/- mouse hearts displayed increased expression of genes associated with fetal cardiac metabolism, including smooth muscle actin and b myosin heavy chain, suggesting that the cardiac hypertrophy seen in these mice was associated with a reversion to a fetal gene program. Despite our prediction that we would also see an increase in glucose compared to fatty acid oxidation (another trait of fetal cardiac metabolism) we saw that MuRF1-/-//MuRF2-/- heart homogenates oxidized significantly less glucose compared to controls, suggesting an important role for MuRF1 and MuRF2 in the regulation of glucose metabolism in vivo. This study identifies a previously unreported redundancy in the function of MuRF proteins in normal cardiac development. Keywords: Genetic modification.

Project description:Muscle ring finger-1 (MuRF1) is a muscle-specific protein implicated in the regulation of cardiac myocyte size and contractility. MuRF2, a closely related family member, redundantly interacts with protein substrates, and hetero-dimerizes with MuRF1. Mice lacking either MuRF1 or MuRF2 are phenotypically normal whereas mice lacking both proteins develop a spontaneous cardiac and skeletal muscle hypertrophy indicating cooperative control of muscle mass by MuRF1 and MuRF2. In order to identify the role that MuRF1 plays in regulating cardiac hypertrophy in vivo, we created transgenic mice expressing increased amounts of cardiac MuRF1. Adult MuRF1 transgenic (Tg+) hearts exhibited a non-progressive thinning of the left ventricular wall and a concomitant decrease in cardiac function. Experimental induction of cardiac hypertrophy by trans-aortic constriction (TAC) induced rapid failure of MuRF1 Tg+ hearts. Microarray analysis identified that the levels of genes associated with metabolism (and in particular mitochondrial processes) were significantly altered in MuRF1 Tg+ hearts, both at baseline and during the development of cardiac hypertrophy. Surprisingly, ATP levels in MuRF1 Tg+ mice did not differ from wild type mice despite the depressed contractility following TAC. To explain this discrepancy between the ongoing heart failure and maintained ATP levels in MuRF1 Tg+ hearts, we compared the level and activity of creatine kinase (CK) between wild type and MuRF1 Tg+ hearts. Although mCK and CK-M/B protein levels were unaffected in MuRF1 Tg+ hearts, total CK activity was significantly inhibited. We conclude that MuRF1’s inhibition of CK activity leads to increased susceptibility to heart failure following TAC, demonstrating for the first time that MuRF1 regulates cardiac energetics in vivo.

Project description:MuRF1 mediated ubiquitination of titin promotes autophagy machinery recruitment onto titin. Titin ubiquitination appears dynamically regulated by myofibrillar stretch via the unfolding of an NL linker sequence, leading to different ubiquitination patterns of the chain. This mechanism might be compromised in the titin SNP rs 200675195, a possible factor in cardiomyopathy.
