Temporal inhibition of ADAM17 in fibroblasts reduces stiffness and promotes vascularization following myocardial infarction


ABSTRACT: Myocardial infarction (MI) triggers a complex remodelling process that leads to heat failure if uncontrolled. A Disintegrin and metalloproteinase-17 (ADAM17), a transmembrane sheddase, is upregulated in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, colocalized to myofibroblasts (myoFB) in the infarct tissues. Fibroblasts are key players in post-MI scar formation and exist in different states with diverse functions. Using mice with inducible Adam17 deletion in homeostatic FBs (Adam17 FB-KD ), or activated FBs (Adam17 myoFB-KD ), we found that ADAM17 loss in homeostatic FBs impaired infarct formation post-MI and increased mortality due to left ventricular (LV) rupture. Conversely, ADAM17 loss in myoFBs limited infarct expansion, LV dilation and dysfunction up to 4 weeks post-MI. Ex vivo and in vitro experiments revealed that the beneficial effects in Adam17 myoFB-KD mice are due to reduced stiffness of the infarct tissue through suppressing activation of EGFR-YAP-pathway, which promoted vascularization and thereby limited infarct expansion. Pharmacological inhibition of ADAM17 prior to MI was ineffective, but short-term ADAM17 inhibition after MI by targeting myoFBs significantly alleviated the adverse LV remodeling and dysfunction with beneficial effects up to 4wks post-MI. Our study identifies a short-term therapeutic window for ADAM17 inhibition to prevent long-term adverse remodeling, dysfunction and heart failure post-MI.
