Integrative bioinformatics analyses identify an essential role of ZBP1 in myocardial I/R injury

ABSTRACT: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is the primary factor that counteracts the beneficial effects of reperfusion therapy. However, the distinct pathophysiological processes and underlying mechanisms that govern the ischemic and reperfusion phases of myocardial I/R injury remain incompletely understood. Time-series RNA-seq analyses were conducted on myocardial samples from the ischemic regions of wild-type (WT) mice after being subjected to either sham surgery or 30 minutes of ischemia followed by reperfusion (duration: 0, 1, 6, and 24 hours). Principal component analysis (PCA) demonstrated a clear segregation of gene-expression profiles between the ischemic and reperfusion stages of myocardial I/R injury. Zbp1 remained unchanged at 0 hours post-I/R injury but were consistently upregulated at 1, 6, and 24 hours post-I/R injury.

Project description:Background: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC), i.e., brief periods of ischemia, protect the heart from subsequent prolonged ischemic injury, and reduces infarction size. Myocardial stunning refers to transient loss of contractility in the heart after myocardial ischemia that recovers without causing permanent damage. The relationship between IPC and myocardial stunning remains incompletely understood. Purpose: The primary aim of this study was to examine the effects of IPC on the relationship between ischemia duration, stunning, and infarct size in an ischemia-reperfusion injury model. The secondary aim of the study was to examine to which extent the phosphoproteomic changes induced by IPC relate to myocardial contractile function. Methods: Rats were subjected to different durations of left anterior descending artery (LAD) occlusion, with or without preceding IPC. Echocardiograms were acquired at 4 and 48 hours to assess cardiac contraction in the affected myocardial segment. Reversible akinesia was defined as the presence of myocardial akinesia at 4 hours that resolved by 48 hours; and was considered to represent myocardial stunning. Infarction size was evaluated using triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining. Phosphoproteomic analysis was performed in heart tissue from preconditioned and non-preconditioned animals using nano-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results: Reversible akinesia was observed in a majority of the rats that were subjected to IPC and subsequently exposed to ischemia of 13.5 or 15 minutes of ischemia (83.3% [n/N] and 66.6% [n/N] respectively). Among rats without IPC, who were exposed to either 10, 11, 12 or 13.5 minutes of ischemia, reversible akinesia was observed in 0% (n/N), 17% (2/12), 0% (n/N) and 0% (n/N) of rats (p<0.001). Phosphoproteomic analysis revealed significant differential regulation of 809 phosphopeptides between IPC and non-IPC groups, with significant associations with the sarcomere, Z-disc, and actin binding. Conclusion: Our study shows that IPC preferentially induces changes in phosphosites of proteins involved in myocardial contraction, and both increases the incidence of reversible post-ischemic myocardial stunning after ischemia-reperfusion injury and reduces infarction size.

Project description:Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. After an acute myocardial infarction, early reperfusion reduces infarct size, which correlates with improved clinical outcomes. Paradoxically, reperfusion although relieving ischemia, accelerates apoptosis in injured cardiomyocytes, which has led to the view that myocardial salvage is futile beyond the first few hours of reperfusion. In murine hearts subjected to 90 min of coronary artery occlusion and then 48 h of reperfusion, we show transient activation of intrinsic prosurvival insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signaling. In these hearts, acute IGF-1 receptor inhibition decreases the abundance of prosurvival signaling molecules, and markedly activates caspase-3, a potent effector of apoptosis, in infarct border zone cardiomyocytes. We found that mouse mast cell protease-4 (MMCP-4) degraded IGF-1 in vitro by a novel catalytic activity of chymases. In vivo, this degradation, which is triggered by mast cell infiltration into the peri-infarct region and MMCP-4 extravasation, between 48 and 72 h post-ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), attenuates IGF-1 prosurvival signaling. In MMCP-4-deficient mice, while infarct size is not reduced at 24 h post-I/R, at 72 h post-I/R myocardial IGF-1 levels and signaling are increased, resulting in activation of the survival kinases Akt and ERK, inhibition of caspase-3, and reduced myocardial cell death. As a consequence, I/R-mediated loss of viable myocardium, adverse cardiac remodeling and contractile impairment are markedly reduced. Cardiomyocyte survival with consequent myocardial salvage may thus be possible even days after an ischemic insult, making them a novel therapeutic target for delayed cardioprotective therapy. Group 1 is wild type C57Bl6 uninjured hearts. These mice were not undergone any surgery and used as controls. Group 2 are wild type C57Bl6 72 h post-ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury hearts. These mice for subjected to ischemia reperfusion (IR) involving 90 min of left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion followed by reperfusion for 3 days or 72 h.
