Extracellular vesicle proteome from cardiac muscle critical for protection against obesity in female mice

ABSTRACT: Dysregulation of ER has been linked with increased metabolic and cardiovascular disease risk. Uncovering the impact of ERα deficiency in specific tissues has implications for understanding the role ERα in normal physiology and disease, the increased disease risk in postmenopausal women, and the design of tissue-specific ERα-based therapies for a range of pathologies including cardiac disease and cancer. Cardiac myocyte-specific ER knockout mice (ERHKO) were generated to assess the role of ERα in the heart. Female ERHKO mice displayed a mild cardiac phenotype, but unexpectedly, the most striking phenotype was obesity in female ERHKO but not male ERHKO mice. We identified contractile dysfunction, metabolic and lipid dysregulation in hearts of female ERHKO mice. We also show that extracellular vesicles (EVs) collected from the perfusate from Langendorff-isolated hearts from female ERHKO mice contained distinct proteins with functions related to muscle, metabolic and fatty acid dysregulation.

Project description:Background: Mutation of the PRDM16 gene causes human dilated and noncompaction cardiomyopathy. The PRDM16 protein is a transcriptional regulator that affects cardiac development via Tbx5 and Hand1, thus regulating myocardial structure. The biallelic inactivation of Prdm16 induces severe cardiac dysfunction with postnatal lethality and hypertrophy in mice. The early pathological events that occur upon Prdm16 inactivation have not been explored. Methods: This study performed in-depth pathophysiological and molecular analyses of male and female Prdm16csp1/wt mice that carry systemic, monoallelic Prdm16 gene inactivation. We systematically assessed early molecular changes through transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Kinetic modelling of cardiac metabolism was performed in silico with CARDIOKIN. Results: Prdm16csp1/wt mice are viable up to 8 months, develop hypoplastic hearts, and diminished systolic performance that is more pronounced in female mice. Prdm16csp1/wt cardiac tissue of both sexes showed reductions in metabolites associated with amino acid as well as glycerol metabolism, glycolysis, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Prdm16csp1/wt cardiac tissue revealed diminished glutathione (GSH) and increased inosine monophosphate (IMP) levels indicating oxidative stress and a dysregulated energetics, respectively. An accumulation of triacylglycerides exclusively in male Prdm16csp1/wt hearts, suggests a sex-specific metabolic adaptation. Metabolic modelling using CARDIOKIN identified a reduction in fatty acid utilization in males as well as lower glucose utilization in female Prdm16csp1/wt cardiac tissue. On the level of transcripts and protein expression, Prdm16csp1/wt hearts demonstrate an upregulation of pyridine nucleotide-disulphide oxidoreductase domain 2 (Pyroxd2) and the transcriptional regulator pre B-cell leukemia transcription factor interacting protein 1 (Pbxip1). The strongest concordant transcriptional upregulation was detected for Prdm16 itself, probably through an autoregulatory mechanism. Conclusions: Monoallelic, global Prdm16 mutation diminishes cardiac performance in Prdm16csp1/wt mice. Metabolic alterations and transcriptional dysregulation in Prdm16csp1/wt affect cardiac tissue. Female Prdm16csp1/wt mice develop a more pronounced phenotype, indicating sexual dimorphism at this early pathological window. This study suggests that metabolic dysregulation is an early event in the PRDM16 associated cardiac pathology.
