Project description:The overall data contains expression profile of rat genes of cardiac fibroblasts. G-protein signaling is regulated in cardiac fibroblasts. The expresssion of angiotensin II receptor or cytokine such as interleukin is regulated by PTX (which is suggested to suppress Gi function) treatment. Keywords: control or PTX treatment Rat cardiac fibroblasts were primarily isolated and plated onto 6 well plate. Cells were treated with water (Ctl 1-3) or PTX for 24 hr (PTX 1-3) and lysed by Buffer RLT. Total RNA was isolated using QIAGEN kit and gene expression was analysed using Affymetrix Gene Chip system and GCOS analysis.

Project description:Gβγ subunits are involved in many different signalling processes in various compartments of the cell, including the nucleus. To gain insight into the functions of nuclear Gβγ, we investigated the functional role of Gβγ signalling in regulation of GPCR-mediated gene expression in primary rat neonatal cardiac fibroblasts. Following activation of the angiotensin II type I receptor in these cells, Gβγ dimers interact with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). Our findings suggest that Gβ1γ recruitment to RNAPII negatively regulates the fibrotic transcriptional response, which can be overcome by strong fibrotic stimuli. In these specific proteomics experiments, we compared the differential protein abundance in Gβ1 knockdown and WT cardiac fibroblasts following angiotensin II treatment using a bottom-up data-dependent approach.

Project description:Background: Gq-coupled G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) mediate the actions of a variety of messengers that are key regulators of cardiovascular function. Enhanced Gaq-mediated signaling plays an important role in cardiac hypertrophy and in the transition to heart failure. We have recently described that Gaq acts as an adaptor protein that facilitates PKCz-mediated activation of ERK5 in epithelial cells. Since the ERK5 cascade is known to be involved in cardiac hypertrophy, we have investigated the potential relevance of this pathway in Gq-dependent signaling in cardiac cells. Methodology/Principal Findings: We have explored the mechanisms involved in Gq-coupled GPCR-mediated stimulation of the ERK5 pathway and its functional consequences in cardiac hypertrophy using both cultured cardiac cells and an animal model of angiotensin- dependent induction of cardiac hypertrophy in wild-type and PKCz knockout mice. We find that PKC? is required for the activation of the ERK5 pathway by Gq-coupled GPCR in cardiomyocytes and in cardiac fibroblasts. Stimulation of ERK5 by angiotensin II is blocked upon pharmacological inhibition or siRNA-mediated silencing of PKCz in primary cultures of cardiac cells and in cardiomyocytes isolated from PKCz-deficient mice. Moreover, these mice do not develop cardiac hypertrophy upon chronic challenge with angiotensin II, as assessed by morphological, biomarker, electrocardiographic and global gene expression pattern analysis. Conclusion/Significance: Our data put forward that PKC? is essential for Gq- dependent ERK5 activation in cardiac cells and indicate a key cardiac physiological role for this recently described Gaq/PKCz/MEK5 signaling axis. Littermate wild-type and PKCz -/- male mice (32 weeks of age) were subjected to continuous infusion of angiotensin II (or PBS as a control) for 14 days, a well established model for the induction of cardiac hypertrohy

Project description:Transient angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) protects against future injury-induced cardiac inflammation, fibrosis, and dysfunction. Here, we used single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) to test the hypothesis that transient ACE inhibitor treatment would induce a persistent shift in hypertensive cardiac fibroblast subpopulations. Adult male SHRs (11 weeks old) were treated for 2 weeks with an ACE inhibitor, enalapril (30mg/kg/day, p.o.), or water (control) followed by a 2-week washout period (n=7/group). Cardiac fibroblasts were isolated from the left ventricle and subjected to scRNA-Seq. Nine clusters of fibroblasts (numbered 0-8) were identified with 98% of cells clustering into subsets 0-6. Transient treatment produced significant changes within and across clusters. Cluster 1 depicted the highly fibrogenic gene profile, with cluster 6 serving as a gateway to cluster 1. Transient ACE inhibition depleted the gateway and expanded cluster 0, which was the least fibrogenic profile. Moreover, within cluster 1 fibroblasts, ACE inhibition reduced expression of individual fibrosis genes (e.g. COL1A1, COL3A1, and FN1; all p<0.05). Clusters 2-5 reflected proliferative, moderately fibrogenic, translationally active, and lowly inflammatory subsets of fibroblasts, all of which exhibit attenuated fibrogenic gene expression after transient ACE inhibition. In conclusion, transient ACE inhibition shifts cardiac fibroblast subpopulations and degree of activation resulting in an overall reduced fibrogenic phenotype.

Project description:Gβγ subunits are involved in an array of different signalling processes in various compartments of the cell, including the nucleus. To gain further insight into the functions of nuclear Gβγ, we investigated the functional role of Gβγ signalling in the regulation of GPCR-mediated gene expression in primary rat neonatal cardiac fibroblasts. Here, we demonstrate that following activation of the angiotensin II type I receptor in these cells, Gβγ dimers interact with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). Our findings suggest that Gβ1 recruitment to RNAPII negatively regulates the fibrotic transcriptional response, which can be overcome by strong fibrotic stimuli. The Gβγ-RNAPII interaction was also investigated in HEK 293 cells and was regulated by signaling pathways that diverged from those operating in cardiac fibroblasts, suggesting that although it may be a conserved feature of transcriptional regulation, such regulation may be cell-specific. Taken together, our studies reveal a novel interaction between Gβγ subunits and RNA polymerase II and expand the role for Gβγ signalling in cardiac fibrosis.

Project description:Direct cardiac reprogramming from fibroblasts can be a promising approach for disease modeling, drug screening, and cardiac regeneration in pediatric and adult patients. However, postnatal and adult fibroblasts are less efficient for reprogramming compared with embryonic fibroblasts, and barriers to cardiac reprogramming associated with aging remain undetermined. In this study, we screened 8,400 chemical compounds, and found that diclofenac sodium (diclofenac), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, greatly enhanced cardiac reprogramming in combination with Gata4, Mef2c, and Tbx5 (GMT) or GMT plus Hand2. Intriguingly, diclofenac promoted cardiac reprogramming in mouse postnatal and adult tail-tip fibroblasts (TTFs), but not in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Mechanistically, diclofenac enhanced cardiac reprogramming by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2, prostaglandin E2/prostaglandin E receptor 4, cyclic AMP/protein kinase A, and interleukin 1b pathway, silencing inflammatory and fibroblast programs, which were activated in postnatal and adult TTFs. Thus, anti-inflammation can be a new target for cardiac reprogramming associated with aging.
