The AP-1 transcription factor Fosl-2 drives cardiac fibrosis and arrhythmias under immunofibrotic conditions

Project description:Fibrotic changes in the myocardium and cardiac arrhythmias represent fatal complications in rheumatic disease systemic sclerosis (SSc), however the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Fos-related antigen-2 (Fosl-2) has been implicated in development of organ fibrosis. Mice overexpressing Fosl-2 (Fosl-2tg) showed interstitial cardiac fibrosis, disorganized connexin43/40 in intercalated discs and deregulated expression of genes controlling conduction system. Fosl-2tg mice developed higher heart rate (HR), prolonged QT intervals, arrhythmias with prevalence of premature ventricular contractions, ventricular tachycardias, II-degree atrio-ventricular blocks and reduced HR variability. Following stimulation with isoproterenol Fosl-2tg mice showed impaired HR response. To assess the role of inflammation in cardiac fibrosis we used Rag2-/-Fosl-2tg mice lacking T/B cells. These mice showed no myocardial fibrosis and ECG abnormalities. Transcriptomics analysis of cardiac Rag-2-/-Fosl-2wt/Rag2-/-Fosl-2tg/Fosl-2tg fibroblasts revealed that systemic inflammation triggered fibrotic and arrhythmogenic alterations while Fosl-2-overexpression mediated profibrotic signature. In human cardiac fibroblasts FOSL-2-overexpression enhanced myofibroblast signature under proinflammatory or profibrotic stimuli. These results demonstrate that under immunofibrotic conditions activator protein 1 transcription factor component Fosl-2 exaggerates myocardial fibrosis, arrhythmias and aberrant response to stress.

The AP-1 transcription factor Fosl-2 drives cardiac fibrosis and arrhythmias under immunofibrotic conditions.

Project description:Fibrotic changes in the myocardium and cardiac arrhythmias represent fatal complications in systemic sclerosis (SSc), however the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Mice overexpressing transcription factor Fosl-2 (Fosl-2tg) represent animal model of SSc. Fosl-2tg mice showed interstitial cardiac fibrosis, disorganized connexin-43/40 in intercalated discs and deregulated expression of genes controlling conduction system, and developed higher heart rate (HR), prolonged QT intervals, arrhythmias with prevalence of premature ventricular contractions, ventricular tachycardias, II-degree atrio-ventricular blocks and reduced HR variability. Following stimulation with isoproterenol Fosl-2tg mice showed impaired HR response. In contrast to Fosl-2tg, immunodeficient Rag2-/-Fosl-2tg mice were protected from enhanced myocardial fibrosis and ECG abnormalities. Transcriptomics analysis demonstrated that Fosl-2-overexpression was responsible for profibrotic signature of cardiac fibroblasts, whereas inflammatory component in Fosl-2tg mice activated their fibrotic and arrhythmogenic phenotype. In human cardiac fibroblasts FOSL-2-overexpression enhanced myofibroblast signature under proinflammatory or profibrotic stimuli. These results demonstrate that under immunofibrotic conditions transcription factor Fosl-2 exaggerates myocardial fibrosis, arrhythmias and aberrant response to stress.

Inhibition of BRD4 Partially Rescues Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Cardiac Arrhythmias in Myocyte-Specific Lamin A/C Null Mice [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Deletion of Lmna, encoding nuclear membrane protein LMNA, specifically in mouse cardiac myocytes activates BRD4 and leads to heart failure, arrhythmias, myocardial fibrosis, apoptosis, and premature death, which were partially rescued upon inhibition of BRD4.

Exome sequencing in patients with cardiac arrhythmias

Project description:The institut du thorax in Nantes (FR), the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam (NL) and the University Hospital of Muenster (DE) have recruited 20 large families comprising at least 3 patients with cardiac arrhythmias and showing history of sudden cardiac death. For each family, the exome of one affected individual has been sequenced at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (UK), in order to identify new genes associated with high risk of sudden cardiac death.

Phytosterol accumulation results in ventricular arrhythmia, impaired cardiac function and death

Project description:Heart failure (HF) and cardiac arrhythmias share overlapping pathological mechanisms that act cooperatively to accelerate disease pathogenesis. Cardiac fibrosis is associated with both pathological conditions. Our previous work identified a link between phytosterol accumulation, cardiac fibrosis and death in a mouse model of phytosterolemia, a rare disorder characterized by elevated circulating phytosterols and increased cardiovascular disease risk. Here, we uncover a previously unknown pathological link between phytosterols and cardiac arrhythmias in the same animal model. Phytosterolemia resulted in inflammatory pathway induction, premature ventricular contractions (PVC) and ventricular tachycardia (VT). Both pharmacological and genetic inhibition of phytosterol absorption prevented the induction of both pathways. Inhibition of phytosterol absorption reduced inflammation and cardiac fibrosis, improved cardiac function, reduced the incidence of arrhythmias and increased survival in a mouse model of phytosterolemia. Collectively, this work identified a pathological mechanism whereby elevated phytosterols result in inflammation and cardiac fibrosis leading to impaired cardiac function, arrhythmias and sudden death. These phytosterolemia-associated comorbidities provide novel insight into the underlying pathophysiological mechanism that predispose these patients to increased risk of sudden cardiac death.

Connexin 43 dephosphorylation mediates the Dchs1/YAP/TEAD signaling pathway to impact cardiac fibrosis

Project description:The gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43) has been implicated in the development of cardiac fibrosis. We found that Cx43 dephosphorylation at serine 282 (S282) is related to cardiomyocyte apoptosis and arrhythmias in hearts damaged by ischemia/reperfusion. Here, we investigated the effect of Cx43 S282 phosphorylation on fibrosis. We found a decrease in Cx43 S282 phosphorylation in transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β)-induced fibrosis in fibroblasts and an angiotensin II-induced rat model. We transferred a lentivirus with S282A (alanine) into cardiac fibroblasts and an adenovirus with S282A into the hearts of rats. We found that the Cx43 S282A mutation caused fibrosis in cardiac fibroblasts and in the hearts of rats, which suggested that the phosphorylation of Cx43 S282 is important in the development of fibrosis. Furthermore, mRNA sequencing showed that Cx43 dephosphorylation at S282 increased the expression of Dchs1, and Dchs1 inhibited Yes-associated protein (YAP) phosphorylation, subsequently activating the YAP/TEAD signaling pathway and increasing the development of fibrosis. This study suggests that the phosphorylation of Cx43 S282 could be an effective antifibrotic target in cardiac fibroblasts, indicating a novel mechanism and a molecular target that might be promising for the treatment of cardiac fibrosis.

Cardiac conduction system regeneration prevents arrhythmias after myocardial infarction

Project description:Arrhythmias are a hallmark of myocardial infarction (MI) and increase patient mortality. The cardiac conduction system is implicated in arrhythmias, but how it is altered following MI is poorly understood. We demonstrate complete conduction system restoration during neonatal mouse heart regeneration, versus pathological remodelling at non-regenerative stages. Tissue-cleared whole-organ imaging identified disorganised bundling of conduction fibres after MI, global His/Purkinje disruption and regional loss of connexin-40. Single-cell RNA-sequencing revealed that Purkinje cells undergo specific molecular changes to regenerate the network, versus sustained aberrant electrical alterations during fibrotic repair. This manifested functionally as transition from normal rhythm to pathological conduction delay beyond the regenerative window. Modelling the non-regenerative phenotype in the infarcted human heart implicated these changes as causative for bundle branch block and ventricular dyssynchrony, as observed in patients. These findings elucidate the mechanisms underpinning conduction system regeneration versus repair and reveal the consequences of MI-induced damage for clinical arrhythmogenesis.
