Proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)

ABSTRACT: Although the prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasing, evidence-based therapies for HFpEF are rare, likely due to an incomplete understanding of this disease. This study sought to identify the cardiac-specific features of protein and phosphoprotein in a murine model of HFpEF using mass spectrometry. HFpEF mice developed moderate hypertension, left ventricle (LV) hypertrophy, lung congestion and diastolic dysfunction. Proteomics analysis of the LV tissue showed that 897 proteins were differentially expressed between HFpEF and Sham mice. We observed abundant changes in sarcomeric proteins, mitochondrial-related proteins, and NAD-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin-3 (SIRT3). Upregulated pathways by GSEA analysis were related to immune modulation and muscle contraction, while downregulated pathways were predominantly related mitochondrial metabolism. Western blot analysis validated SIRT3 downregulated cardiac expression in HFpEF. Phosphoproteomics analysis showed that 72 phosphopeptides were differentially regulated between HFpEF and sham LV. Aberrant phosphorylation patterns mostly occurred in sarcomere proteins and nuclear-localized proteins associated with contractile dysfunction and cardiac hypertrophy. Seven aberrant phospho-sites were observed at the z disk binding region of titin. While total titin cardiac expression remained unaltered, its stiffer N2B isoform was significantly increased in HFpEF. Thus, these results show profound changes in proteins related to mitochondrial metabolism and function and the cardiac contractile apparatus in HFpEF. We propose that SIRT3 plays a key role and may be a target for drug development in HFpEF.

Project description:Background: Lamins A/C (encoded by the LMNA gene) can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Objectives: This study sought to undertake proteomic analysis of myocardial tissue to explore the postgenomic phenotype of end-stage lamin heart disease. Methods: Consecutive patients with end-stage lamin heart disease (LMNA-group, n=7) and ischaemic DCM (ICM-group, n=7) undergoing heart transplantation were enrolled. Samples were obtained from left atrium(LA), left ventricle(LV), right atrium(RA), right ventricle(RV) and interventricular septum(IVS). Liquid chromatography combined with mass-spectrometry was used for protein quantification. We compared protein concentrations in cardiac samples between LMNA and ICM groups. Proteins were considered differentially abundant if the quantitative difference was 1.5-fold and corrected p-value <0.05 at a false discovery rate of 0.01. Gene ontology(GO) enrichment analysis explored the related biological processes. Results: 4,247 proteins were identified in LMNA and ICM samples, of which 633 were differentially abundant in LA, 39 in LV, 181 in RA, 52 in RV, and 85 in IVS. Abundance of lamin A/C was reduced but lamin B (LMNB) increased in LMNA LA/RA tissue compared to ICM, but not in LV/RV. Transthyretin was more abundant in the LV/RV of LMNA compared to ICM while sarcomeric proteins such as titin and cardiac myosin heavy chain were generally reduced in RA/LA of LMNA. Protein expression profiling and GO enrichment analysis revealed sarcopenia, extracellular matrix(ECM) remodeling, deficient myocardial energetics, redox imbalances, and abnormal calcium handling in LMNA samples. Conclusion: Lamin heart disease is a biventricular and biatrial disease, characterized by sarcopenia, aberrant metabolism, and ECM remodeling. LMNB and transthyretin were unexpectedly abundant in the atria and ventricles respectively of patients with end-stage lamin heart disease potentially hinting to the possibility of compensatory responses.

Project description:Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are highly effective in treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) but do not eliminate leukemia stem cells (LSC), which remain a potential source of relapse. TKI treatment effectively inhibits BCR-ABL kinase activity in CML LSC, suggesting that additional kinase-independent mechanisms contribute to LSC preservation. We investigated whether signals from the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment protect CML LSC from TKI treatment. Coculture with human BM mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) significantly inhibited apoptosis and preserved CML stem/progenitor cells following TKI exposure, maintaining colony forming ability and engraftment potential in immunodeficient mice. We found that the N-Cadherin receptor plays an important role in MSC-mediated protection of CML progenitors from TKI. N-Cadherin-mediated adhesion to MSC was associated with increased cytoplasmic N-Cadherin-M-NM-2-catenin complex formation, as well as enhanced M-NM-2-catenin nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity. Increased exogenous Wnt-mediated M-NM-2-catenin signaling played an important role in MSC-mediated protection of CML progenitors from TKI treatment. Our results reveal a close interplay between N-Cadherin and the Wnt-M-NM-2-catenin pathway in protecting CML LSC during TKI treatment. Importantly, these results reveal novel mechanisms of resistance of CML LSC to TKI treatment, and suggest new targets for treatment designed to eradicate residual LSC in CML patients. RNA was obtained from CML CD34+ cells treated with or without IM (5M-NM-<M) and MSC for 96 hours, amplified, labeled and hybridized to GeneChip 1.0 arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Microarray data analysis was performed using R (version 2.9) with genomic analysis packages from Bioconductor (version 2.4). The 33297 probes represented on the microarray were filtered by cross-sample mean, and for standard deviation of greater than the 25% quantile, yielding 18624 probes representing 12553 genes. Linear regression was used to model the gene expression with the consideration of a 2x2 factorial design and matched samples. Differentially expressed genes were identified by calculating empirical Bayes moderated t-statistic, and p-values were adjusted by FDR using the M-bM-^@M-^\LIMMAM-bM-^@M-^] package. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed using GSEA software version 2.04 to detect enrichment of predetermined gene sets using t-scores from all genes for 1263 gene sets in the C2 (curated gene sets) category from the Molecular Signature Database (MsigDB).
