The molecular mechanisms that drive the development of cardiac hypertrophy in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) remain elusive. Accumulated evidence suggests that microRNAs are essential regulators of cardiac remodelling. We have been suggested that microRNAs could play a role in the process of HCM. To uncover which microRNAs were changed in their expression, microRNA microarrays were performed on heart tissue from HCM patients (n = 7) and from healthy donors (n = 5). Among the 13 microRNAs that were differentially expressed in HCM, miR‐451 was the most down‐regulated. Ectopic overexpression of miR‐451 in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCM) decreased the cell size, whereas knockdown of endogenous miR‐451 increased the cell surface area. Luciferase reporter assay analyses demonstrated that tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC1) was a direct target of miR‐451. Overexpression of miR‐451 in both HeLa cells and NRCM suppressed the expression of TSC1. Furthermore, TSC1 was significantly up‐regulated in HCM myocardia, which correlated with the decreased levels of miR‐451. As TSC1 is a known positive regulator of autophagy, we examined the role of miR‐451 in the regulation of autophagy. Overexpression of miR‐451 in vitro inhibited the formation of the autophagosome. Conversely, miR‐451 knockdown accelerated autophagosome formation. Consistently, an increased number of autophagosomes was observed in HCM myocardia, accompanied by up‐regulated autophagy markers, and the lipidated form of LC3 and Beclin‐1. Taken together, our findings indicate that miR‐451 regulates cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac autophagy by targeting TSC1. The down‐regulation of miR‐451 may contribute to the development of HCM and may be a potential therapeutic target for this disease. 相似文献

Mechanical stress triggers cardiac hypertrophy and autophagy through an angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 (AT1) receptor‐dependent mechanism. Low level of high density lipoprotein (HDL) is an independent risk factor for cardiac hypertrophy. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of HDL on mechanical stress‐induced cardiac hypertrophy and autophagy. A 48‐hr mechanical stretch and a 4‐week transverse aortic constriction were employed to induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in vitro and in vivo, respectively, prior to the assessment of myocardial autophagy using LC3b‐II and beclin‐1. Our results indicated that HDL significantly reduced mechanical stretch‐induced rise in autophagy as demonstrated by LC3b‐II and beclin‐1. In addition, mechanical stress up‐regulated AT1 receptor expression in both cultured cardiomyocytes and in mouse hearts, whereas HDL significantly suppressed the AT1 receptor. Furthermore, the role of Akt phosphorylation in HDL‐mediated action was assessed using MK‐2206, a selective inhibitor for Akt phosphorylation. Our data further revealed that MK‐2206 mitigated HDL‐induced beneficial responses on cardiac remodelling and autophagy. Taken together, our data revealed that HDL inhibited mechanical stress‐induced cardiac hypertrophy and autophagy through downregulation of AT1 receptor, and HDL ameliorated cardiac hypertrophy and autophagy via Akt‐dependent mechanism. 相似文献

Angiotensin II (Ang II) plays an important role in the onset and development of cardiac remodelling associated with changes of autophagy. Angiotensin1‐7 [Ang‐(1‐7)] is a newly established bioactive peptide of renin–angiotensin system, which has been shown to counteract the deleterious effects of Ang II. However, the precise impact of Ang‐(1‐7) on Ang II‐induced cardiomyocyte autophagy remained essentially elusive. The aim of the present study was to examine if Ang‐(1‐7) inhibits Ang II‐induced autophagy and the underlying mechanism involved. Cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were exposed to Ang II for 48 hrs while mice were infused with Ang II for 4 weeks to induce models of cardiac hypertrophy in vitro and in vivo. LC3b‐II and p62, markers of autophagy, expression were significantly elevated in cardiomyocytes, suggesting the presence of autophagy accompanying cardiac hypertrophy in response to Ang II treatment. Besides, Ang II induced oxidative stress, manifesting as an increase in malondialdehyde production and a decrease in superoxide dismutase activity. Ang‐(1‐7) significantly retarded hypertrophy, autophagy and oxidative stress in the heart. Furthermore, a role of Mas receptor in Ang‐(1‐7)‐mediated action was assessed using A779 peptide, a selective Mas receptor antagonist. The beneficial responses of Ang‐(1‐7) on cardiac remodelling, autophagy and oxidative stress were mitigated by A779. Taken together, these result indicated that Mas receptor mediates cardioprotection of angiotensin‐(1‐7) against Ang II‐induced cardiomyocyte autophagy and cardiac remodelling through inhibition of oxidative stress. 相似文献

Cardiac hypertrophy is the main cause of heart failure and sudden death in patients. But the pathogenesis is unclear. Angiotensin II may contribute to cardiac hypertrophy in response to pressure overload. In angiotensin II-treated cardiomyocytes, there is a larger cross-sectional area, more apoptosis cells, and a reduction of irisin expression. An increase in P62, an autophagy flux index, as well as LC3II, were observed in cardiomyocytes after angiotensin II-induced injury. Surprisely, irisin supplementation increased LC3II expression and decreased P62 expression, consisted of results of RFP-GFP-LC3B adenovirus transfection, and reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, meanwhile, the protection of irisin was reversed by the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine. In animal experiments, overexpression of irisin reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and alleviated myocardial hypertrophy caused by pressure overload. The above results indicate that irisin-induced protective autophagy and alleviated the apoptosis signaling pathway in cardiomyocytes, consequently reducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis after angiotensin II-induced injury. Hence, increasing irisin expression may be a new way to improve cardiac function and quality of life in patients with cardiac hypertrophy. 相似文献

Cardiac hypertrophy is a common pathological change frequently accompanied by chronic hypertension and myocardial infarction. Nevertheless, the pathophysiological mechanisms of cardiac hypertrophy have never been elucidated. Recent studies indicated that miR‐103 expression was significantly decreased in heart failure patients. However, less is known about the role of miR‐103 in cardiac hypertrophy. The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between miR‐103 and the mechanism of pressure overload‐induced cardiac hypertrophy. TRPV3 protein, cardiac hypertrophy marker proteins (BNP and β‐MHC) and autophagy associated proteins (Beclin‐1 and LC3‐II) were up‐regulated, as well as, miR‐103 expression and autophagy associated proteins (p62) were down‐regulated in cardiac hypertrophy models in vivo and in vitro respectively. Further results indicated that silencing TRPV3 or forcing overexpression of miR‐103 could dramatically inhibit cell surface area, relative fluorescence intensity of Ca2+ signal and the expressions of BNP, β‐MHC, Beclin‐1 and LC3‐II, but promote p62 expression. Moreover, TRPV3 protein was decreased in neonatal rat ventricular myocyte transfected with miR‐103, but increased by AMO‐103. Co‐transfection of the miR‐103 with the luciferase reporter vector into HEK293 cells caused a sharp decrease in luciferase activity compared with transfection of the luciferase vector alone. The miR‐103‐induced depression of luciferase activity was rescued by an AMO‐103. These findings suggested that TRPV3 was a direct target of miR‐103. In conclusion, miR‐103 could attenuate cardiomyocyte hypertrophy partly by reducing cardiac autophagy activity through the targeted inhibition of TRPV3 signalling in the pressure‐overloaded rat hearts. 相似文献

The traditional Chinese medicine Danshensu (DSS) has a protective effect on cardiac ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the DSS action remain undefined. We investigated the potential role of DSS in autophagy and apoptosis using cardiac I/R injury models of cardiomyocytes and isolated rat hearts. Cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were subjected to 6 hrs of hypoxia followed by 18 hrs of reoxygenation to induce cell damage. The isolated rat hearts were used to perform global ischaemia for 30 min., followed by 60 min. reperfusion. Ischaemia/reperfusion injury decreased the haemodynamic parameters on cardiac function, damaged cardiomyocytes or even caused cell death. Pre‐treatment of DSS significantly improved cell survival and protected against I/R‐induced deterioration of cardiac function. The improved cell survival upon DSS treatment was associated with activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) (as manifested by increased phosphorylation of S6K and S6), which was accompanied with attenuated autophagy flux and decreased expression of autophagy‐ and apoptosis‐related proteins (including p62, LC3‐II, Beclin‐1, Bax, and Caspase‐3) at both protein and mRNA levels. These results suggest that alleviation of cardiac I/R injury by pre‐treatment with DSS may be attributable to inhibiting excessive autophagy and apoptosis through mTOR activation. 相似文献

Pathological cardiac hypertrophy aggravated myocardial infarction and is causally related to autophagy dysfunction and increased oxidative stress. Rapamycin is an inhibitor of serine/threonine kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) involved in the regulation of autophagy as well as oxidative/nitrative stress. Here, we demonstrated that rapamycin ameliorates myocardial ischaemia reperfusion injury by rescuing the defective cytoprotective mechanisms in hypertrophic heart. Our results showed that chronic rapamycin treatment markedly reduced the phosphorylated mTOR and ribosomal protein S6 expression, but not Akt in both normal and aortic‐banded mice. Moreover, chronic rapamycin treatment significantly mitigated TAC‐induced autophagy dysfunction demonstrated by prompted Beclin‐1 activation, elevated LC3‐II/LC3‐I ratio and increased autophagosome abundance. Most importantly, we found that MI/R‐induced myocardial injury was markedly reduced by rapamycin treatment manifested by the inhibition of myocardial apoptosis, the reduction of myocardial infarct size and the improvement of cardiac function in hypertrophic heart. Mechanically, rapamycin reduced the MI/R‐induced iNOS/gp91phox protein expression and decreased the generation of NO and superoxide, as well as the cytotoxic peroxynitrite. Moreover, rapamycin significantly mitigated MI/R‐induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial impairment demonstrated by reduced Caspase‐12 activity, inhibited CHOP activation, decreased cytoplasmic Cyto‐C release and preserved intact mitochondria. In addition, inhibition of mTOR also enhanced the phosphorylated ERK and eNOS, and inactivated GSK3β, a pivotal downstream target of Akt and ERK signallings. Taken together, these results suggest that mTOR signalling protects against MI/R injury through autophagy induction and ERK‐mediated antioxidative and anti‐nitrative stress in mice with hypertrophic myocardium. 相似文献

Many of the cardiovascular benefits of fish oil result from the antiarrhythmic actions of the n-3 polyunsaturated lipids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The beneficial effects of DHA/EPA in patients with coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction may also result from modulation of the myocardial hypertrophic response. Hypertrophy was assessed in neonatal cardiomyocytes exposed to phenylephrine (PE) by measuring cell surface area, total protein synthesis ((14)C leucine incorporation), and the organization of sarcomeric alpha-actinin and by monitoring expression of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). We report that PE induced a twofold increase in cell surface area and protein synthesis in cardiomyocytes. The hypertrophied cardiomyocytes also exhibited increased expression of ANF in perinuclear regions and organization of sarcomeric alpha-actinin into classical z-bands. Treatment of cardiomyocytes with 5 microM DHA effectively prevented PE-induced hypertrophy as shown by inhibition of surface area expansion and protein synthesis, inhibition of ANF expression, and prevention of alpha-actinin organization into z-bands. DHA treatment prevented PE-induced activation of Ras and Raf-1 kinase. The upstream inhibition of Ras --> Raf-1 effectively prevented translocation and nuclear localization of phosphorylated extracellularly regulated kinase 1 and 2 (Erk1/2). These effects consequently led to inhibition of nuclear translocation, and hence, activation of the downstream signaling enzyme p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (p90(rsk)). These results indicate that PE-induced cardiac hypertrophy can be minimized by DHA. Our results suggest that inhibition of Ras --> Raf-1 --> Erk1/2 --> p90(rsk) --> hypertrophy is one possible pathway by which DHA can inhibit cardiac hypertrophy. In vivo studies are needed to confirm these in vitro effects of DHA. 相似文献

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes (hucMSC‐exosomes) have been implicated as a novel therapeutic approach for tissue injury repair and regeneration, but the effects of hucMSC‐exosomes on coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)‐induced myocarditis remain unknown. The object of the present study is to investigate whether hucMSC‐exosomes have therapeutic effects on CVB3‐induced myocarditis (VMC). HucMSC‐exosomes were identified using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Western blot. The purified hucMSC‐exosomes tagged with PKH26 were tail intravenously injected into VMC model mice in vivo and used to administrate CVB3‐infected human cardiomyocytes (HCMs) in vitro, respectively. The effects of hucMSC‐exosomes on myocardial pathology injury, proinflammatory cytokines and cardiac function were evaluated through haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Doppler echocardiography. The anti‐apoptosis role and potential mechanism of hucMSC‐exosomes were explored using TUNEL staining, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, Ad‐mRFP‐GFP‐LC3 transduction and Western blot. In vivo results showed that hucMSC‐exosomes (50 μg iv) significantly alleviated myocardium injury, shrank the production of proinflammatory cytokines and improved cardiac function. Moreover, in vitro data showed that hucMSC‐exosomes (50 μg/mL) inhibited the apoptosis of CVB3‐infected HCM through increasing pAMPK/AMPK ratio and up‐regulating autophagy proteins LC3II/I, BECLIN‐1 and anti‐apoptosis protein BCL‐2 as well as decreasing pmTOR/mTOR ratio, promoting the degradation of autophagy flux protein P62 and down‐regulating apoptosis protein BAX. In conclusion, hucMSC‐exosomes could alleviate CVB3‐induced myocarditis via activating AMPK/mTOR‐mediated autophagy flux pathway to attenuate cardiomyocyte apoptosis, which will be benefit for MSC‐exosome therapy of myocarditis in the future. 相似文献

Cardiac hypertrophy is one of the major risk factors of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Autophagy is acknowledged to be an important mechanism regulating cardiac hypertrophy. Sestrin 1, a downstream target gene of p53, has been proven to regulate autophagy. However, the role of Sestrin 1 in cardiac hypertrophy remains unknown. Our study showed that Sestrin 1 mRNA and protein expression declined in pressure overload cardiac hypertrophy and phenylephrine (PE)‐induced cardiac hypertrophy. Knockdown of Sestrin 1 by RNAi deteriorated PE‐induced cardiac hypertrophy, whereas the overexpression of Sestrin 1 by adenovirus transfection blunted hypertrophy. We discovered that knockdown of Sestrin 1 resulted in impaired autophagy while overexpression of Sestrin 1 resulted in increased autophagy without affecting lysosomal function. In addition, the antihypertrophic effect of Sestrin 1 overexpression was eliminated by autophagy blockade. Importantly, Sestrin 1 targets at the AMPK/mTORC1/autophagy pathway to inhibit cardiac hypertrophy by interaction with AMPK which is responsible for autophagy regulation. Taken together, our data indicate that Sestrin 1 regulates AMPK/mTORC1/autophagy axis to attenuate cardiac hypertrophy. 相似文献

Long-term poorly controlled myocardial hypertrophy often leads to heart failure and sudden death. Activation of ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (RAC1) by angiotensin II (Ang II) plays a pivotal role in myocardial hypertrophy. Previous studies have demonstrated that scoparone (SCO) has beneficial effects on hypertension and extracellular matrix remodelling. However, the function of SCO on Ang II-mediated myocardial hypertrophy remains unknown. In our study, a mouse model of myocardial hypertrophy was established by Ang II infusion (2 mg/kg/day) for 4 weeks, and SCO (60 mg/kg bodyweight) was administered by gavage daily. In vitro experiments were also performed. Our results showed that SCO could alleviate Ang II infusion-induced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in mice. In vitro, SCO treatment blocks Ang II-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, cardiac fibroblast collagen synthesis and differentiation to myofibroblasts. Meanwhile, we found that SCO treatment blocked Ang II-induced oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts by inhibiting RAC1-GTP and total RAC1 in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst by overexpression of RAC1 completely abolished SCO-mediated protection in cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts in vitro. In conclusion, SCO, an antioxidant, may attenuate Ang II-induced myocardial hypertrophy by suppressing of RAC1 mediated oxidative stress. 相似文献

The carboxyl terminus of Hsp70‐interacting protein (CHIP) is a ubiquitin ligase/cochaperone critical for the maintenance of cardiac function. Mice lacking CHIP (CHIP?/?) suffer decreased survival, enhanced myocardial injury and increased arrhythmias compared with wild‐type controls following challenge with cardiac ischaemia reperfusion injury. Recent evidence implicates a role for CHIP in chaperone‐assisted selective autophagy, a process that is associated with exercise‐induced cardioprotection. To determine whether CHIP is involved in cardiac autophagy, we challenged CHIP?/? mice with voluntary exercise. CHIP?/? mice respond to exercise with an enhanced autophagic response that is associated with an exaggerated cardiac hypertrophy phenotype. No impairment of function was identified in the CHIP?/? mice by serial echocardiography over the 5 weeks of running, indicating that the cardiac hypertrophy was physiologic not pathologic in nature. It was further determined that CHIP plays a role in inhibiting Akt signalling and autophagy determined by autophagic flux in cardiomyocytes and in the intact heart. Taken together, cardiac CHIP appears to play a role in regulating autophagy during the development of cardiac hypertrophy, possibly by its role in supporting Akt signalling, induced by voluntary running in vivo.

Background
Autophagy plays a significant role in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. So it is important to inhibit autophagy to protect cardiomyocytes besides anti-apoptosis. MiRNA has been demonstrated to protect cardiomyocytes against apoptosis during IR, while whether it has anti-autophagy effect has not been known. The aim of this study was to investigate whether miR-204 regulated autophagy by regulating LC3-II protein, which is the marker of autophagosome during myocardial IR injury. 相似文献15.

Myocardial remodelling is a common phenomenon in cardiovascular diseases, which threaten human health and the quality of life. Due to the lack of effective early diagnosis and treatment methods, the molecular mechanism of myocardial remodelling should be explored in depth. In this study, we observed the high expression of MBNL1 in cardiac tissue and peripheral blood of an isoproterenol (ISO)-induced cardiac hypertrophy mouse model. MBNL1 promoted ISO-induced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis by stabilizing Myocardin mRNA in vivo and in vitro. Meanwhile, an increase in MBNL1 may induce the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes treated with ISO via TNF-α signalling. Interestingly, MBNL1 can be activated by p300 in cardiomyocytes treated with ISO. At last, Myocardin can reverse activate the expression of MBNL1. These results suggest that MBNL1 may be a potential target for the early diagnosis and clinical treatment of myocardial remodelling. 相似文献

Pathological cardiac hypertrophy often leads to heart failure. Activation of autophagy has been shown in pathological hypertrophic hearts. Autophagy is regulated positively by Class III phosphoinositide 3‐kinase (PI3K). However, it is unknown whether Class III PI3K plays a role in the transition of cardiac hypertrophy to heart failure. To address this question, we employed a previously established cardiac hypertrophy model in heat shock protein 27 transgenic mice which shares common features with several types of human cardiomyopathy. Age‐matched wild‐type mice served as control. Firstly, a prolonged activation of autophagy, as reflected by autophagosome accumulation, increased LC3 conversion and decreased p62 protein levels, was detected in hypertrophic hearts from adaptive stage to maladaptive stage. Moreover, morphological abnormalities in myofilaments and mitochondria were presented in the areas accumulated with autophagosomes. Secondly, activation of Class III PI3K Vacuolar protein sorting 34 (Vps34), as demonstrated by upregulation of Vps34 expression, increased interaction of Vps34 with Beclin‐1, and deceased Bcl‐2 expression, was demonstrated in hypertrophic hearts from adaptive stage to maladaptive stage. Finally, administration with Wortmaninn, a widely used autophagy inhibitor by suppressing Class III PI3K activity, significantly decreased autophagy activity, improved morphologies of intracellular apartments, and most importantly, prevented progressive cardiac dysfunction in hypertrophic hearts. Collectively, we demonstrated that Class III PI3K plays a central role in the transition of cardiac hypertrophy to heart failure via a prolonged activation of autophagy in current study. Class III PI3K may serve as a potential target for the treatment and management of maladaptive cardiac hypertrophy. 相似文献

Cardiac hypertrophy is characterized by a shift in metabolic substrate utilization. Therefore, the regulation of ketone body uptake and metabolism may have beneficial effects on heart injuries that induce cardiac remodelling. In this study, we investigated whether icariside II (ICS II) protects against cardiac hypertrophy in mice and cardiomyocytes. To create cardiac hypertrophy animal and cell models, mice were subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC), and embryonic rat cardiomyocytes (H9C2) were stimulated with angiotensin II, a neurohumoral stressor. Both the in vivo and in vitro results suggest that ICS II treatment ameliorated pressure overload–induced cardiac hypertrophy and preserved heart function. In addition, apoptosis and oxidative stress were reduced in the presence of ICS II. Moreover, ICS II inhibited excess autophagy in TAC-induced hearts and angiotensin II–stimulated cardiomyocytes. Mechanistically, we found that ICS II administration regulated SIRT3 expression in cardiac remodelling. SIRT3 activation increased ketone body transportation and utilization. Collectively, our data show that ICS II attenuated cardiac hypertrophy by modulating ketone body and fatty acid metabolism, and that this was likely due to the activation of the SIRT3-AMPK pathway. ICS II treatment may provide a new therapeutic strategy for improving myocardial metabolism in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. 相似文献

Autophagy is a bulk degradation mechanism for cytosolic proteins and organelles. The heart undergoes hypertrophy in response to mechanical load but hypertrophy can regress upon unloading. We hypothesize that autophagy plays an important role in mediating regression of cardiac hypertrophy during unloading. Mice were subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC) for 1 week, after which the constriction was removed (DeTAC). Regression of cardiac hypertrophy was observed after DeTAC, as indicated by reduction of LVW/BW and cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area. Indicators of autophagy, including LC3-II expression, p62 degradation and GFP-LC3 dots/cell, were significantly increased after DeTAC, suggesting that autophagy is induced. Stimulation of autophagy during DeTAC was accompanied by upregulation of FoxO1. Upregulation of FoxO1 and autophagy was also observed in vitro when cultured cardiomyocytes were subjected to mechanical stretch followed by incubation without stretch (de-stretch). Transgenic mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of FoxO1 exhibited smaller hearts and upregulation of autophagy. Overexpression of FoxO1 in cultured cardiomyocytes significantly reduced cell size, an effect which was attenuated when autophagy was inhibited. To further examine the role of autophagy and FoxO1 in mediating the regression of cardiac hypertrophy, beclin1+/− mice and cultured cardiomyocytes transduced with adenoviruses harboring shRNA-beclin1 or shRNA-FoxO1 were subjected to TAC/stretch followed by DeTAC/de-stretch. Regression of cardiac hypertrophy achieved after DeTAC/de-stretch was significantly attenuated when autophagy was suppressed through downregulation of beclin1 or FoxO1. These results suggest that autophagy and FoxO1 play an essential role in mediating regression of cardiac hypertrophy during mechanical unloading. 相似文献

Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are essential immunoreceptors involved in host defence against invading microbes. Recent studies indicate that certain TLRs activate immunological autophagy to eliminate microbes. It remains unknown whether TLRs regulate autophagy to play a role in the heart. This study examined this question. The activation of TLR3 in cultured cardiomyocytes was observed to increase protein levels of autophagic components, including LC3‐II, a specific marker for autophagy induction, and p62/SQSTM1, an autophagy receptor normally degraded in the final step of autophagy. The results of transfection with a tandem mRFP‐GFP‐LC3 adenovirus and use of an autophagic flux inhibitor chloroquine both suggested that TLR3 in cardiomyocytes promotes autophagy induction without affecting autophagic flux. Gene‐knockdown experiments showed that the TRIF‐dependent pathway mediated the autophagic effect of TLR3. In the mouse model of chronic myocardial infarction, persistent autophagy was observed, concomitant with up‐regulated TLR3 expression and increased TLR3‐Trif signalling. Germline knockout (KO) of TLR3 inhibited autophagy, reduced infarct size, attenuated heart failure and improved survival. These protective effects were abolished by in vivo administration of an autophagy inducer rapamycin. Similar to the results obtained in cultured cardiomyocytes, TLR3‐KO did not prevent autophagic flux in mouse heart. Additionally, this study failed to detect the involvement of inflammation in TLR3‐KO‐derived protection, as wild‐type and TLR3‐KO hearts were comparable in inflammatory activity. It is concluded that up‐regulated TLR3 expression and signalling contributes to persistent autophagy following MI, which promotes heart failure and lethality. 相似文献
