Transcriptome analysis of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors in Acute Myocardial Infarction

ABSTRACT: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Dapagliflozin (DAPA), a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), is a new type of oral antidiabetic agent. Here, we examined the effects of DAPA on AMI and investigated the potential mechanisms.Heart tissue specimens were collected from C57BL/6J mice induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery and treated with DAPA at 1 mg/kg/day dose for 4 weeks after surgery. Echocardiography, histological staining, and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of these specimens were performed. The differentially expressed genes of interest were confirmed by qualitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blotting (WB). In vitro experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of DAPA on myosin light-chain 4 (Myl4) upregulation and reduction of autophagy following hypoxic treatment. As a result, DAPA could improve cardiac function post MI by upregulating Myl4 and reducing autophagy; this finding suggests that the molecular regulation associated with Myl4 might be an important mechanism of AMI treatment by SGLT2i.

Project description:Aims: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a multifactorial disease that constitutes several distinct phenotypes, including a common cardiometabolic phenotype with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Treatment options for HFpEF are limited, and development of novel therapeutics is hindered by the paucity of suitable preclinical HFpEF models that recapitulate the complexity of human HFpEF. Metabolic drugs, like Glucagon Like Peptide Receptor Agonist (GLP-1RA) and Sodium Glucose Transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), have emerged as promising drugs to restore metabolic perturbations and may have value in the treatment of the cardiometabolic HFpEF phenotype. We aimed to develop a multifactorial HFpEF mouse model that closely resembles the cardiometabolic HFpEF phenotype, and evaluated the GLP-1 RA liraglutide and a SGLT2i dapagliflozin. Methods&Results: Aged (18-22 months old) female C57BL/6J mice were fed a standardized chow (CTRL) or high fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks. After 8 weeks HFD, Angiotensin-II (ANGII), was administered for 4 weeks via osmotic mini-pumps. HFD+ANGII resulted in a cardiometabolic HFpEF phenotype, including obesity, impaired glucose handling and metabolic dysregulation with inflammation. The multiple-hit resulted in typical clinical HFpEF features, including cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis with preserved fractional shortening but with impaired myocardial deformation, atrial enlargement lung congestion, and elevated blood pressures. Treatment with liraglutide attenuated the cardiometabolic dysregulation and improved cardiac function, with reduced cardiac hypertrophy, less myocardial fibrosis, and attenuation of atrial weight, natriuretic peptide levels, and lung congestion. Dapagliflozin treatment improved glucose handling, but had mild effects on the HFpEF phenotype. Conclusions: We developed a mouse model that recapitulates the human HFpEF disease, providing a novel opportunity to study disease pathogenesis and development of enhanced therapeutic approaches. We furthermore show that attenuation of cardiometabolic dysregulation may represent a novel therapeutic target for treatment of HFpEF.
