Irx3 ameliorates postmyocardial infarction cardiac dysfunction by regulating both inflammatory and fibrotic pathways

ABSTRACT: The Iroquois homeobox transcription factor Irx3 is associated with metabolic and hematologic disorders, but its role in cardiac repair after myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear. This study found that Irx3 expression is significantly downregulated in the hearts of wild-type mice post-MI and in human AC16 cardiomyocytes under oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) conditions. Overexpression of Irx3 improved cardiac function, reduced infarct size and myocardial fibrosis, attenuated inflammatory cell infiltration, prolonged survival in MI mice, and suppressed collagen synthesis and proinflammatory cytokine secretion in vitro. Mechanistically, Irx3 directly targets Srpx2 and Ppm1l: it downregulates Srpx2 to enhance AP-1 activity, increase SMAD7 expression, and inhibit TGF-β/SMAD signaling to limit fibrosis; it upregulates Ppm1l to interact with IKKβ, suppress NF-κB signaling, and reduce inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α). RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of mouse left ventricular tissues and Irx3-overexpressing AC16 cells identified differentially expressed genes enriched in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and inflammation-related pathways, confirming Irx3’s coordinate regulation of profibrotic and proinflammatory pathways. These findings highlight Irx3 as a promising therapeutic target for post-MI cardiac repair and functional recovery.

Frequent derepression of the Iroquois homeobox gene IRX3 in human acute leukemia

Project description:The Iroquois homeodomain transcription factor gene IRX3 is highly expressed in the developing nervous system, limb buds and heart. In adults, expression levels specify risk of obesity. We now report a significant functional role for IRX3 in human acute leukemia. While transcript levels are very low in normal human bone marrow cell populations, high level IRX3 expression is observed in ~30% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), ~50% of patients with T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia and ~20% of patients with B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia, typically in association with high levels of HOXA9. Expression of IRX3 alone was sufficient to immortalise murine bone marrow stem and progenitor cells, and induce T- and B-lineage leukemias in vivo with incomplete penetrance. IRX3 knockdown induced terminal differentiation of AML cells. Combined IRX3 and Hoxa9 expression in murine bone marrow stem and progenitor cells substantially enhanced the morphologic and phenotypic differentiation block of the resulting AMLs by comparison with Hoxa9-only leukemias, through suppression of a myelomonocytic program. Likewise, in cases of primary human AML, high IRX3 expression is associated with reduced myelomonocytic differentiation. Thus, tissue-inappropriate derepression of IRX3 modulates the cellular consequences of HOX gene expression to enhance differentiation block in human AML.

Deletion of ASPP1 in myofibroblasts alleviates myocardial fibrosis by reducing p53 degradation

Project description:In the healing process of myocardial infarction, cardiac fibroblasts are activated to produce collagen, leading to adverse remodeling and heart failure. Our previous study showed that ASPP1 promotes cardiomyocyte apoptosis by enhancing nuclear trafficking of p53. We thus explored the influence of ASPP1 on myocardial fibrosis and the underlying mechanisms. Here, we observed ASPP1 was increased after 4 weeks of MI. Both global and myofibroblast knockout of ASPP1 in mice mitigated cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis after MI. Strikingly, ASPP1 produced opposite influence on p53 level and cell fate in cardiac fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes. Knockdown of ASPP1 increased p53 level and inhibited the activity of cardiac fibroblasts. ASPP1 accumulated in the cytoplasm of fibroblasts while the level of p53 was reduced following TGF-1 stimulation; however, inhibition of ASPP1 increased p53 level and promoted p53 nuclear translocation. Mechanistically, ASPP1 directly bound to deubiquitinase OTUB1, thereby promoting the ubiquitination and degradation of p53, attenuating myofibroblast activity and cardiac fibrosis, and improving heart function after MI.

Defining the cardiac fibroblast secretome in the post-MI heart in vivo

Project description:Cardiac fibrosis is a common feature of ischemic heart disease and cardiac fibroblasts (CF) are key players in cardiac remodeling of the injured heart after myocardial infarction (MI). Fibrosis increases myocardial stiffness, thereby impairing cardiac function, which ultimately progresses to end-stage heart failure. Little is known, however, on the secretome of CF and cell-to-cell communication of CF is only incompletely understood. Here, we in vivo labeled secreted proteins by expressing TurboID under control of the POSTN promotor in cardiac fibroblasts of mouse with myocardial infarction, enriched biotinylated proteins and analyzed them using LC-MS.

Direct in vivo cardiac reprogramming improves cardiac function and ventricular remodeling in chronic MI.

Project description:Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. As adult cardiomyocytes (CMs) have little regenerative capacity, after myocardial infarction (MI), resident cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) synthesize extracellular matrix to form scar tissues, resulting in myocardial remodeling and HF. Thus, both cardiac regeneration and fibrosis are therapeutic targets for chronic MI. We previously reported that fibroblasts were directly reprogrammed into induced CMs (iCMs) by overexpression of cardiogenic transcription factors in acute and chronic MI. Here we show that in vivo cardiac reprogramming improved cardiac function, and reversed cardiac remodeling in chronic MI using a novel transgenic mouse system. Transcriptome analysis revealed that in vivo cardiac reprogramming suppressed signs of fibrosis and inflammation. Thus, in vivo cardiac reprogramming may be a promising approach for chronic HF.

Here we show that in vivo cardiac reprogramming generated iCMs from resident CFs, improved cardiac function, and reversed fibrosis in chronic MI using a novel transgenic mouse system. Transcriptome analysis revealed that in vivo cardiac reprogramming altered the interstitial cell landscape, suppressed signs of fibrosis and inflammation, and activated the angiogenic program. Thus, in vivo cardiac reprogramming may be a promising approach for chronic HF.

Thus, both cardiac regeneration and fibrosis are therapeutic targets for chronic MI.

Here we show that in vivo cardiac reprogramming generated iCMs from resident CFs, improved cardiac function, and reversed fibrosis in chronic MI using a novel transgenic mouse system. Single-cell transcriptome analysis revealed that cardiac reprogramming shifted matrix-producing CFs, matrifibrocytes, to a quiescent state and changed the interstitial cell landscape, suppressing fibrotic and inflammatory signatures and activating angiogenic program. Thus, in vivo cardiac reprogramming may be a promising approach for chronic HF.

Effect of Card9 knockout on gene expression in cardiac tissues of mice post myocardial infarction

Project description:Immune cell infiltration in response to myocyte death contributes to extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and scar formation after myocardial infarction (MI). Caspase-recruitment domain protein 9 (CARD9) which belongs to CARD family acts as an adapter that mediate the transduction of proinflammatory signaling cascades in innate immunity. To investigate the role of CARD9 in cardiac injury and repair post ischemia, we subjected Card9 knockout mice to myocardial infarction (MI) , and then performed RNA-seq and gene expression profiling analysis using the ischemic cardiac tissues at 3 days post-MI, to identify key genes and pathways regulated by CARD9.

Inactivation of Sox9 in fibroblasts reduces cardiac fibrosis and inflammation in mice after myocardial infarction

Project description:Fibrotic scarring drives the progression of heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI). Therefore, the development of specific treatment regimens to counteract fibrosis is of high clinical relevance. The transcription factor SOX9 functions as an important regulator during embryogenesis, but recent data point towards an additional causal role in organ fibrosis. We show here that SOX9 is upregulated in the scar after MI in mice. Fibroblast specific deletion of Sox9 ameliorated MI-induced left ventricular dysfunction, dilatation and myocardial scarring in vivo. Unexpectedly, deletion of Sox9 also potently eliminated persisting leukocyte infiltration of the scar in the chronic phase after MI. RNA-sequencing from the infarct scar revealed that Sox9 deletion in fibroblasts resulted in strongly downregulated expression of genes related to extracellular matrix, proteolysis and inflammation. Importantly, Sox9 deletion in isolated cardiac fibroblasts in vitro similarly affected gene expression as in the cardiac scar and prevented their activation and myofibroblast differentiation. Together, our data demonstrate that fibroblast SOX9 functions as a master regulator of cardiac fibrosis and inflammation and might constitute a novel therapeutic target during MI.
