Project description:Clinical management of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is hindered by a lack of disease-modifying therapies capable of altering its distinct pathophysiology. Despite the widespread implementation of a “two-hit” model of cardiometabolic HFpEF to inform precision therapy, which utilizes ad libitum high-fat and 0.5% N(ω)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (HFD+L-NAME) diet, we observe that C57BL6/J mice exhibit less cardiac diastolic dysfunction in response to HFD+L-NAME. Genetic strain-specific single-nucleus transcriptomic analysis identified disease-relevant genes that enrich oxidative metabolic pathways within cardiomyocytes. Because C57BL/6J mice are known to harbor a loss-of-function mutation affecting the inner mitochondrial membrane protein nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (Nnt), we used an isogenic model of Nnt loss-of-function to determine whether intact NNT is necessary for the pathological cardiac manifestations of HFD+L-NAME. Twelve-week-old mice cross-bred to isolate wild-type (Nnt+/+) or loss-of-function (Nnt-/-) Nnt in the C57BL/6N background, were challenged with HFD+L-NAME for 9 weeks (n = 6-10). Nnt+/+ mice exhibited impaired ventricular diastolic relaxation and pathological remodeling, as assessed via E/e’ (42.8 vs. 21.5, P = 1.2e-10), E/A (2.3 vs 1.4, P = 4.1e-2), diastolic stiffness (0.09 vs 0.04 mmHg/μL, P = 5.1e-3), and myocardial fibrosis (P = 2.3e-2). Liquid chromatography and mass spectroscopy exposed a 40.0% reduction in NAD+ (P = 8.4e-3) and a 38.8% reduction in GSH:GSSG (P = 2.6e-2) among Nnt+/+ mice after HFD+L-NAME feeding. Using single-nucleus ligand-receptor analysis, we implicate fibroblast growth factor 1 (Fgf1) as a putative NNT-dependent mediator of cardiomyocyte-to-fibroblast signaling of myocardial fibrosis. Together, these findings underscore the pivotal role of mitochondrial dysfunction in HFpEF pathogenesis and position both NNT and Fgf1 as novel therapeutic targets.

RESULTS: Nnt+/+ mice exhibited impaired ventricular diastolic relaxation and pathological remodeling, as assessed via noninvasive echocardiographic quantification of early diastolic pulse-wave velocity (E) to mitral annular velocity (e′) ratio (E/e′) (42.8 versus 21.5, P=1.2×10−10), E/A (early-to-late mitral inflow velocity ratio) (2.3 versus 1.4, P=4.1×10−2), diastolic stiffness (0.09 versus 0.04 mm Hg/μL, P=5.1×10−3), and myocardial fibrosis (P=2.3×10−2). Liquid chromatography and mass spectroscopy exposed a 40.0% reduction in NAD+ (P=8.4×10−3) and a 38.8% reduction in the ratio of reduced-to-oxidized glutathione (GSH: GSSG, P=2.6×10−2) among Nnt+/+ mice after HFD+L-NAME feeding. Using single-nucleus ligand-receptor analysis, we implicate Fgf1 (fibroblast growth factor 1) as a putative NNT-dependent mediator of cardiomyocyte-to-fibroblast signaling in myocardial fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS: Together, these findings underscore the pivotal role of mitochondrial dysfunction in HFpEF pathogenesis, implicating both NNT and Fgf1 as novel therapeutic targets.

Project description:Cardiometabolic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (cHFpEF) is highly prevalent and associated with a poor outcome. Pathological gene expressions in heart failure are accompanied by changes in active histone marks without major alterations in DNA methylation. Whether chromatin modifications participate to obesity-induced HFpEF is largely unknown. We will investigate whether chromatin marks participate to obesity-induced HFpEF in vivo.

Project description:Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) remains a major public health burden with increasing prevalence but only few effective therapies. Endothelial dysfunction and inflammation are identified as pathophysiological drivers of HFpEF disease progression. MicroRNAs are increasingly recognized as key regulators of these pathological processes, while antimiR-based therapies have been emerged as promising therapeutics in mice and humans. Therefore, we tested whether targeting miR-92a-3p inhibition is a promising therapeutic intervention to target HFpEF in vivo. By injection of locked nucleic acid (LNA)-based antimiR (LNA-92a) weekly, we demonstrate that inhibition of miR-92a-3p attenuates the development of diastolic dysfunction and left atrial dilation following experimental induction of HFpEF in mice. Indeed, LNA-92a depleted miR-92a-3p expression in the myocardium and peripheral blood, and derepressed predicted target genes in a cell type-specific manner. Furthermore, cell-type specific efficacy of LNA-92a treatment was assessed by single-nuclear RNA sequencing of HFpEF hearts either treated with LNA-92a or LNA-Control. Endothelial cells of LNA-92a treated mice showed normalized vascular gene expression and reduced gene signatures associated with endothelial-mesenchymal transition. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that LNA-based antimiR-92a is an effective therapeutic strategy to target diastolic dysfunction and left atrial dilation in HFpEF.

Project description:Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a highly prevalent and intractable form of cardiac decompensation commonly associated with diastolic dysfunction. Here, we show that diastolic dysfunction in patients with HFpEF is associated with a cardiac deficit in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Elevating NAD+ by oral supplementation of its precursor, nicotinamide, improved diastolic dysfunction induced by aging (in 2-year-old C57BL/6J mice), hypertension (in Dahl salt-sensitive rats) or cardiometabolic syndrome (in ZSF1 obese rats). Mechanistically, this effect was mediated partly through alleviated systemic comorbidities and enhanced myocardial bioenergetics, as evidenced by cardiac trasncriptome and metabolome analyses. Simultaneously, nicotinamide directly improved cardiomyocyte passive stiffness and calcium-dependent active relaxation through increased deacetylation of titin and the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 2a, respectively. In a long-term human cohort study, high dietary intake of naturally occurring NAD+ precursors was associated with lower blood pressure and reduced risk of cardiac mortality. Collectively, these results suggest NAD+ precursors, and especially nicotinamide, as potential therapeutic agents to treat diastolic dysfunction and HFpEF in humans.

Project description:Myocardial fibrosis leads to cardiac dysfunction and arrhythmias in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, RNA sequencing identifies Forkhead Box1 (FoxO1) signaling as abnormal in HFpEF hearts. Genetic suppression of FoxO1 alters the intercellular communication between cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts, alleviates abnormal diastolic relaxation, and reduces arrhythmias. Targeted downregulation of FoxO1 in activated fibroblasts reduces cardiac fibrosis, blunts arrhythmogenesis and improves diastolic function in HFpEF. These results not only implicate FoxO1 in arrhythmogenesis and lusitropy but also demonstrate that pro-fibrotic cardiomyocyte-fibroblast communication can be corrected, constituting a novel therapeutic strategy for HFpEF.

Project description: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.
