Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) causes sterile inflammation, which is characterized by recruitment and activation of innate and adaptive immune system cells. We have delineated the temporal dynamics of immune cell accumulation following MI by flow cytometry. Macrophages were numerically the predominant cells infiltrating the infarcted myocardium, increasing in number over the first week post-MI. Macrophages are functionally heterogeneous, and can be classified into M1 and M2 macrophages, respectively, based on surface-marker expression. M1 macrophages dominated at 1-3 days post-MI, whereas M2 macrophages represented the predominant macrophage subset after 5 days. We used microarrays to examine the gene expression profiles of the macrophages sorted from the hearts at different timepoints after MI. We identified the kinetics of gene expression of cardiac macrophage after MI.

Project description:Adverse cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) causes structural and functional changes in the heart leading to heart failure. The initial pro-inflammatory response followed by an anti-inflammatory or reparative response post-MI is essential for minimizing the myocardial damage, healing, and scar formation. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) are recruited to the injured myocardium and essential for cardiac repair as they can adopt both pro-inflammatory (M1) or anti-inflammatory/reparative (M2) phenotypes to modulate inflammatory and reparative response, respectively. YAP and TAZ are the key mediators of the Hippo signaling pathway and essential for cardiac regeneration and repair. However, their role in macrophage polarization and post-MI inflammation, remodeling, and healing are not well established. Here, we demonstrate that expression of YAP and TAZ is increased in macrophages undergoing M1 or M2 polarization. Genetic deletion of YAP/TAZ leads to impaired M1 polarization and enhanced M2 polarization. Consistently, YAP activation/overexpression enhanced M1 and impaired M2 polarization. We show that YAP/TAZ promote M1 polarization by increasing IL6 expression, and impede M2 polarization by decreasing Arg1 expression through interaction with the HDAC3-NCoR1 repressor complex. These changes in macrophages polarization due to YAP/TAZ deletion results in reduced fibrosis, and hypertrophy and increased angiogenesis, leading to improved cardiac function after MI. Also, YAP activation augmented MI-induced cardiac fibrosis and remodeling. In summary, we identify YAP/TAZ as important regulators of macrophage-mediated pro- and anti-inflammatory responses post-MI.

Project description:Macrophage polarization followed by acute myocardial infarction (MI) is essential for the regulation of inflammation and scar formation. Tripartite motif-containing protein 21 (TRIM21), a member of E3 ubiquitin ligases, is a crucial mediator in the process of inflammation and heart failure. However, the potential roles of TRIM21 in modulating post-MI inflammation and macrophage polarization remain elusive. We detected that the levels of TRIM21 were significantly reduced in macrophages of WT mice after MI. In contrast, MI was ameliorated in TRIM21 knockout (TRIM21-/-) mice with improved cardiac remodeling, characterized by a marked decrease in mortality, increased wall thickness, and improved cardiac function in comparison with wild-type (WT) MI mice. Importantly, TRIM21 deficiency decreased the post-MI apoptosis and DNA damage in the hearts of mice, and the accumulation of M1 phenotype macrophages in infarcted hearts significantly decreased in TRIM21-/- mice compared with WT controls. Mechanistically, depletion of TRIM21 orchestrated the process of M1 macrophage polarization via a PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Overall, these data reveal that TRIM21 drives the inflammatory response and cardiac remodeling after MI via stimulating M1 macrophage polarization through a PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Project description:Fidelity of wound healing after myocardial infarction (MI) is an important determinant of subsequent adverse cardiac remodeling and failure. Macrophages derived from infiltrating Ly6Chi blood monocytes are a key component of this healing response; however, the importance of other macrophage populations is unclear. Here, we establish in mice an essential role for splenic CD169+Tim4+ marginal metallophilic macrophages (MMMs) in post-MI wound healing. Splenic CD169+Tim4+ MMMs circulate in blood as Ly6Clow cells expressing express core macrophage markers and help populate CD169+Tim4+LYVE1low macrophages in the naïve heart. After acute MI, splenic MMMs augment phagocytosis and robustly mobilize to the heart, resulting in marked expansion of cardiac CD169+Tim4+LyVE1low macrophages with an immunomodulatory and pro-resolving gene signature. These macrophages are obligatory for apoptotic neutrophil clearance, suppression of inflammation, and induction of a reparative macrophage phenotype in the infarcted heart. Splenic MMMs are both necessary and sufficient for post-MI wound healing, and limit late pathological remodeling. Pharmacological expansion of the splenic marginal zone and MMMs during acute MI alleviates inflammation and cardiac remodeling. Finally, humans with acute ST-elevation MI also exhibit expansion of circulating CD169+Tim4+ macrophages. We conclude that splenic CD169+Tim4+ MMMs are required for pro-resolving and reparative responses after MI and can be manipulated for therapeutic benefit to limit long-term heart failure.

Project description:Fidelity of wound healing after myocardial infarction (MI) is an important determinant of subsequent adverse cardiac remodeling and failure. Macrophages derived from infiltrating Ly6Chi blood monocytes are a key component of this healing response; however, the importance of other macrophage populations is unclear. Here, using a variety of in vivo murine models and orthogonal approaches, including surgical myocardial infarction, splenectomy, parabiosis, cell adoptive transfer, lineage tracing and cell tracking, RNA sequencing, and functional characterization, we establish in mice an essential role for splenic CD169+Tim4+ marginal metallophilic macrophages (MMMs) in post-MI wound healing. Splenic CD169+Tim4+ MMMs circulate in blood as Ly6Clow monocytes expressing macrophage markers and help populate CD169+Tim4+CCR2-LYVE1low macrophages in the naïve heart. After acute MI, splenic MMMs augment phagocytosis, CCR3 and CCR4 expression, and robustly mobilize to the heart, resulting in marked expansion of cardiac CD169+Tim4+LyVE1low macrophages with an immunomodulatory and pro-resolving gene signature. These macrophages are obligatory for apoptotic neutrophil clearance, suppression of inflammation, and induction of a reparative macrophage phenotype in the infarcted heart. Splenic MMMs are both necessary and sufficient for post-MI wound healing, and limit late pathological remodeling. Liver X receptor-a agonist-induced expansion of the splenic marginal zone and MMMs during acute MI alleviates inflammation and improves short- and long-term cardiac remodeling. Finally, humans with acute ST-elevation MI also exhibit expansion of circulating CD169+Tim4+ cells, primarily within the intermediate (CD14+CD16+) monocyte population. We conclude that splenic CD169+Tim4+ MMMs are required for pro-resolving and reparative responses after MI and can be manipulated for therapeutic benefit to limit long-term heart failure.

Project description:Cardiac amyloidosis is a secondary phenomenon of an already pre-existing chronic condition. Whether cardiac amyloidosis represents one of the complications of post-myocardial infarction (MI) is yet to be fully understood. Here, we show that amyloidosis occurs after MI and that amyloid fibers are composed of macrophage-derived Serum Amyloid A 3 (SAA3) monomers. SAA3 overproduction in macrophages is triggered by exosomal communication from cardiac stromal cells (CSC), which, in response to MI, activate the expression of a platelet aggregation-inducing type I transmembrane glycoprotein Podoplanin (PDPN). CSCPDPN+ derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are enriched in SAA3, and exosomal SAA3 engages with macrophage by Toll-like receptor 2, triggering an overproduction, with consequent impaired clearance and aggregation of SAA3 monomers into rigid fibers. SAA3 amyloid deposits reduce cardiac contractility and increase scar stiffness. Inhibition of SAA3 aggregation by retro-inverso D-peptide, specifically designed to bind SAA3 monomers, prevents the deposition of SAA3 amyloid fibrils and improves heart function post-MI.

Project description:Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) and subsequent ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) are the primary causes of heart failure. Inter-α trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 5 (ITIH5) is an ECM protein and has been identified as a myocardial marker of ICM. However, its diagnostic value in patients with ICM and its function and molecular mechanism in regulating cardiac repair and remodelling after MI remain unknown. Methods: Three microarray datasets including 117 ICM and 152 non-failing (NF) myocardial tissue samples were merged and analysed. Peripheral blood and clinical information were collected from 53 patients with ICM and 40 NF controls. The effects of ITIH5 on cellular interactions and cardiac remodelling was studied using ITIH5 RNAi adeno-associated virus and mouse MI model in vivo and in fibroblast–macrophage co-culture model in vitro. Results: ITIH5 was upregulated in the myocardial tissue and peripheral blood of patients with ICM and could be an independent risk factor for ICM. Experiments in mice suggested that ITIH5 promotes cardiac fibrotic remodelling at all phases after MI. Downregulation of ITIH5 increased the risk of death within 7 d after MI but inhibited ventricular remodelling and improved cardiac function on the long-term. ITIH5 promotes the primary cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) proliferation, migration, and improves survival rather than activiation. Morover, ITIH5 directly promotes macrophage tissue infiltration, maturation, and profibrotic phenotype transformation, thereby promoting fibrotic remodelling. By using fibroblast–macrophage co-culture model, we demonstrated ITIH5 enhanced the fibroblast/macrophage crosstalk manifest as macrophage profibrotic phenotype transformation and CFs activation, mainly by enhancing the hyaluronan stability, the ability of ITIH5 to bind macrophage CD44 receptors and the downstream activation of the signal transduction and activator of transcription 3 pathway in macrophages. Conclusions: ITIH5 could be used as a diagnostic marker for ICM. Moreover, ITIH5 expression was upregulated after MI, which accelerated ECM-fibroblast-macrophage interaction, thereby promoting macrophage profibrotic phenotype transformation, CFs activation, and cardiac fibrotic remodelling.

Project description:Macrophages infiltrate the infarcted heart and play a critical role in repair, remodeling and fibrosis. Macrophages sense changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) environment through Integrins, thus activating signaling pathways that regulate their function. Our data show that av integrin is highly expressed in isolated bone marrow macrophages and is markedly upregulated in response to TGF-β, a growth factor known to be activated in the infarcted heart. Accordingly, we hypothesize that aV integrin induction in infarct macrophages may regulate macrophage phenotype, function and response to key macrophage-activating signals following MI.

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) results from occlusion of blood supply to the heart muscle causing death of cardiac muscle cells. Following myocardial infarction (MI), scar formation acts to mechanically stabilise the injured heart to prevent rupture and death. While fibroblasts and macrophages are implicated in post-MI scar formation and maturation, their exact contributions to this process are poorly characterised, especially in the long-term (i.e., beyond 1-week post-MI). Here, we employ state-of-the-art spatially-targetted optical micro-proteomics (STOMP) to isolate proteomes of tissue fractions enriched for fibroblasts (sma+) and macrophages (cd68+) over a 6-week post-MI timecourse and compare them to whole-scar proteome. We illustrate dynamic, specific changes in sma- and cd68-enriched fraction protein composition over 1-6 weeks post-MI with some of these changes reflected in whole-infarct preparations. These results link specific cell populations to specific protein changes in whole infarct.

Project description:Inflammatory response plays a bidirectional regulatory role in myocardial infarction (MI). TLR signaling pathway plays an important role in the development of inflammation. Additionally, we discovered that CCRR is an anti-arrhythmic lncRNA in a prior work. Here we show, it is decreased in mice with 3-day MI followed by a sharp increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines and activation of the TLR pathway. Overexpression of CCRR could effectively inhibit the inflammatory response, reduce the infarct area, and improve cardiac function. And also reduced hypoxia-induced inflammation in cardiomyocytes and macrophages induced by IFN and LPS. It produced a similar protective effect in cardiomyocytes co-cultured with macrophages. Through microarray analysis, RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation analysis, and other related experiments verification, TLR2 and TLR4 may be as potential targets of CCRR after MI. Our findings provide the evidence that lncRNA CCRR plays a key cardioprotective role against MI injury by targeting the TLR signaling pathway. nflammatory response plays a bidirectional regulatory role in myocardial infarction (MI).
