Project description:Cardiac resident MerTK+ macrophages exert multiple protective roles post-ischemic injury, however, the mechanisms regulating their fate are not fully understood. Here we show that GAS6-inducible transcription factor ATF3 prevents apoptosis of MerTK+ macrophages after ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, by repressing the transcription of multiple genes involved in type I interferon expression (Ifih1 and Infb1) and apoptosis (Apaf1). Mice lacking ATF3 in cardiac macrophages or myeloid cells showed excessive loss of MerTK+ cardiac macrophages, poor angiogenesis, and worse heart dysfunction post-IR, which were rescued by the transfer of MerTK+ cardiac macrophages. GAS6 administration improved cardiac repair in an ATF3-dependent manner. Finally, we showed a negative association of GAS6 and ATF3 expression with the risk of major adverse cardiac events in patients with ischemic heart disease. These results indicate that the GAS6-ATF3 axis has a protective role against IR injury by regulating MerTK+ cardiac macrophage survival/proliferation.

Project description:Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the major risk factors implicated in morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular disease. During cardiac ischemia, the build-up of acidic metabolites results in decreased intracellular and extracellular pH that can reach as low as 6.0–6.5. The resulting tissue acidosis exacerbates ischemic injury and significantly impacts cardiac function. Methods and Results: We show that acid sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) plays a key role during cardiac ischemia and demonstrate that ASIC1a is a novel therapeutic target to improve the tolerance of cardiac tissue to IRI. Analysis of human complex trait genetics indicate that variants in the ASIC1 genetic locus are significantly associated with cerebrovascular ischemic injuries. Using human pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes in vitro and murine ex vivo heart models, we demonstrate that genetic ablation of ASIC1a improves cardiomyocyte viability after acute IRI. Therapeutic blockade of ASIC1a using specific and potent pharmacological inhibitors recapitulates this cardioprotective effect. We used an in vivo model of myocardial infarction and two models of ex vivo donor heart procurement and storage as clinical models to show that ASIC1a inhibition improves post-IRI cardiac viability. Use of ASIC1a inhibitors as pre- or post-conditioning agents provided equivalent cardioprotection to benchmark drugs, including the sodium-hydrogen exchange inhibitor zoniporide. At the cellular and whole organ level, we show that acute exposure to ASIC1a inhibitors has no impact on cardiac ion channels regulating baseline electromechanical coupling and physiological performance. Conclusions: Collectively, our data provide compelling evidence for a novel pharmacological strategy involving ASIC1a blockade as a cardioprotective therapy to improve the viability of hearts subjected to IRI.

Project description:The mammalian heart possesses a poor ability to regenerate after acute ischemic cardiac injury and lost cardiac muscle is replaced by scar tissue. Multiple clinical studies demonstrate that the size of scar tissue following myocardial infarction is an independent predictor of cardiovascular outcomes, yet little is known about factors that regulate the size of scar after ischemic cardiac injury. In this report, we demonstrate that collagen V, a fibrillar collagen and a minor constituent of heart scars regulates the size of heart scars after ischemic cardiac injury. Depletion of collagen V in heart scars in two independent animal models led to a significant and paradoxical increase in post infarction scar tissue size with worsening of heart function. A systems genetics approach analyzing genes versus traits across 100 in-bred strains of mice independently demonstrated that collagen V is a critical driver of post injury heart function. We show that collagen V deficiency alters the ultra-structure and mechanical properties of scar tissue that make it more vulnerable to expansion. There is altered reciprocal feedback between matrix and cells that induce expression of specific mechanosensitive integrins which drive fibroblast activation and increased ECM gene expression. Scar size increases. Administration of cilengitide, an inhibitor of specific integrins, completely rescues the phenotype of increased post injury scarring, myofibroblast formation and cardiac dysfunction in collagen V deficient mice. These observations demonstrate that collagen V, a structural constituent of heart scar tissue regulates scar size in an integrin dependent manner.

Project description:Early reperfusion of ischemic cardiac tissue remains the most effective intervention for improving clinical outcome following myocardial infarction. However, abrupt increases in intracellular Ca2+ during myocardial reperfusion cause cardiomyocyte death and consequent loss of cardiac function, referred to as ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury. Cardiac IR is accompanied by dynamic changes in expression of microRNAs (miRNAs), which inhibit specific mRNA targets. miR-214 is up-regulated during ischemic injury and heart failure in mice and humans, but its potential role in these processes is unknown. We show that genetic deletion of miR-214 in mice causes loss of cardiac contractility, increased apoptosis, and excessive fibrosis in response to IR injury. The microarray contains 6 samples, each containing cDNA pooled from 3 mice per group. There are no replicates. The array was designed to make 3 different pairwise comparisons between the following: P14 WT and miR-214 KO hearts; adult WT and miR-214 KO skeletal muscle; adult WT and miR-214 KO hearts

Project description:Ischemic preconditioning is effective in limiting subsequent ischemic acute kidney injury in experimental models. microRNAs are an important class of post-transcriptional regulator and show promise as biomarkers of kidney injury. An evaluation was performed of the time- and dose-dependent effects of ischemic preconditioning in a rat model of functional (bilateral) ischemia-reperfusion injury. A short, repetitive sequence of ischemic preconditioning resulted in optimal protection from subsequent ischemia-reperfusion injury. A detailed characterization of microRNA expression in ischemic preconditioning/ischemia-reperfusion injury was performed by small RNA-Seq.
