Cardiac hypertrophy is an early landmark during the clinical course of heart failure, and is an important risk factor for subsequent morbidity and mortality. The hypertrophy response to different types of cardiac overload is distinguished both at the molecular and cellular levels. These changes have been extensively characterized for pressure load hypertrophy; however, similar information for volume load hypertrophy is still needed. This study was undertaken to improve the existing method of producing experimental cardiac volume load. Previous investigators have employed surgical aorto-caval shunt (ACS) as a model for volume load hypertrophy (VO) in rats. The procedure is relatively simple and involves glue to seal the aortic hole after ACS. However, it has several limitations mostly related to the use of glue e.g. poor visualization due to hardening of tissues, imperfect sealing of the puncture site and glue seeping through the aortic hole resulting in shunt occlusion. We have modified the procedure using aortic adventitial suture instead of glue and 18G angiocatheter instead of 16G needle, which eliminated the technical difficulties from the former method. The ACS was visually confirmed at sacrifice, and the VO demonstrated by time-related changes in the heart weight/body weight ratio which increased from 78% at 4 weeks to 87% at 10 weeks and increased liver/body weight ratio by 22% at 10 weeks of post aorto-caval shunt. Cardiac expression of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANF) also demonstrated time-related increase in ANF mRNA (+275% increase at 4 weeks, p < 0.05, and +370% increase at 10 weeks, p < 0.001). This modified technique of aorto-caval shunt offers simpler, reproducible and consistent model for VO hypertrophy in rats. 相似文献

大鼠不同心肌肥厚模型左心室基因表达谱变化的比较 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
为了解心肌肥厚时基因表达谱的变化规律,本实验复制了三种大鼠心肌肥厚模型:肾上腹主动脉缩窄(suprarenal abdominal aortic stenosis,SRS)、动静脉瘘(arterial-vein fistula,AVF)和去甲。肾上腺素持续静脉输注(jugular vein infusion of norepinephrine,NEi),并应用组织化学方法和超声心动术检测大鼠心脏结构和功能指标,应用cDNA基因芯片技术检测心脏基因表达水平的变化。SRS和NEi引起大鼠向心性心肌肥厚,AVF引起大鼠离心性心肌肥厚,其中NEi大鼠心肌纤维化明显。对不同心肌肥厚模型间大鼠左心室基因表达谱的变化进行两两比较。结果显示,有部分基因在不同模型中表达水平均发生变化,其中多数基因在两种模型中表达水平改变的方向相同,也有少部分基因在两种模型中表达水平改变方向相反。综合比较三种心肌肥厚模型的基因表达谱,各种模型都有特异的基因表达变化,但是有19个基因在三种心肌肥厚模型中表达水平均发生改变。研究结果有可能成为心肌肥厚的标志性基因或治疗靶点,为心肌肥厚发生机制的深入研究提供了新的线索。 相似文献

The potassium channels I(K) and I(K1), responsible for the action potential repolarization and resting potential respectively, are altered during cardiac hypertrophy. The activation of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) during hypertrophy may affect channel activity. The aim was to examine the modulatory effects of IGF-I on I(K) and I(K1) through mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways during hypertrophy. With the use of specific inhibitors for ERK1/2 (PD98059), p38 MAPK (SB203580) and PI3K/Akt (LY294002), Western blot and whole cell patch-clamp were conducted on sham and aorto-caval shunt-induced hypertrophy adult rat myocytes. Basal activation levels of MAPKs and Akt were increased during hypertrophy. Acute IGF-I (10(-8) M) enhanced basal activation levels of these kinases in normal hearts but only those of Akt in hypertrophied ones. I(K) and I(K1) activities were lowered by IGF-I. Inhibition of ERK1/2, p38 MAPK, or Akt reduced basal I(K) activity by 70, 32, or 50%, respectively, in normal cardiomyocytes vs. 53, 34, or 52% in hypertrophied ones. However, basal activity of I(K1) was reduced by 45, 48, or 45% in the former vs. 63, 43, or 24% in the latter. The inhibition of either MAPKs or Akt alleviated IGF-I effects on I(K) and I(K1). We conclude that basal I(K) and I(K1) are positively maintained by steady-state Akt and ERK activities. K+ channels seem to be regulated in a dichotomic manner by acutely stimulated MAPKs and Akt. Eccentric cardiac hypertrophy may be associated with a change in the regulation of the steady-state basal activities of K+ channels towards MAPKs, while that of the acute IGF-I-stimulated ones toward Akt. 相似文献

Background
An adult zebrafish heart possesses a high capacity of regeneration. However, it has been unclear whether and how myocyte hyperplasia contributes to cardiac remodeling in response to biomechanical stress and whether myocyte hypertrophy exists in the zebrafish. To address these questions, we characterized the zebrafish mutant tr265/tr265, whose Band 3 mutation disrupts erythrocyte formation and results in anemia. Although Band 3 does not express and function in the heart, the chronic anemia imposes a sequential biomechanical stress towards the heart.Methodology/Principal Findings
Hearts of the tr265/tr265 Danio rerio mutant become larger than those of the sibling by week 4 post fertilization and gradually exhibit characteristics of human cardiomyopathy, such as muscular disarray, re-activated fetal gene expression, and severe arrhythmia. At the cellular level, we found both increased individual cardiomyocyte size and increased myocyte proliferation can be detected in week 4 to week 12 tr265/tr265 fish. Interestingly, all tr265/tr265 fish that survive after week-12 have many more cardiomyocytes of smaller size than those in the sibling, suggesting that myocyte hyperplasia allows the long-term survival of these fish. We also show the cardiac hypertrophy process can be recapitulated in wild-type fish using the anemia-inducing drug phenylhydrazine (PHZ).Conclusions/Significance
The anemia-induced cardiac hypertrophy models reported here are the first adult zebrafish cardiac hypertrophy models characterized. Unlike mammalian models, both cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and hyperplasia contribute to the cardiac remodeling process in these models, thus allowing the effects of cardiomyocyte hyperplasia on cardiac remodeling to be studied. However, since anemia can induce effects on the heart other than biomechanical, non-anemic zebrafish cardiac hypertrophy models shall be generated and characterized. 相似文献10.

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

Tropisetron exerts a protective effect against cardiac complications, particularly cardiac hypertrophy. Oxidative stress and apoptosis are the main contributors to the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy. Sirtuins, a family of histone deacetylases, are connected to cellular oxidative stress signaling and antioxidant defense. Sirtuins are also linked to apoptosis which is an important mechanism in the progression of cardiac hypertrophy to heart failure. Literature also suggests that tropisetron impedes apoptosis, partly mediated through an antioxidant mechanism. Therefore, we examined if tropisetron fights cardiac hypertrophy by adjusting sirtuin family proteins (Sirts) and components of mitochondrial death pathway, Bcl-associated X (BAX), Bcl-2-associated death promoter (BAD). Male Sprague–Dawley rats got divided into four groups, including control (Ctl), tropisetron (Trop), cardiac hypertrophy (Hyp), and hypertrophic rats under tropisetron treatment (Hyp + Trop). Pathological cardiac hypertrophy was induced by surgical abdominal aortic constriction (AAC). The increased expression of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the Hyp group confirms the cardiac hypertrophy establishment. The mRNA levels of SIRT1, SIRT3, SIRT7, and BAD also upregulated in the hypertrophic group (p < 0.001). Postoperational administration of tropisetron for 3 weeks lowered the increased expression of BNP (p < 0.05) and BAD (p < 0.001), though the reduction of BAX expression was statistically insignificant (p > 0.05). Tropisetron treatment also restored the normal level of SIRT1/3/7 genes expression in the Hyp + Trop group (p < 0.05). Present findings suggest that tropisetron can suppress cardiomyocyte hypertrophy progression to heart failure by counteracting BNP, SIRT1, SIRT3, Sirt7, and BAD overexpression-mediated apoptosis in a rat model of cardiac hypertrophy. 相似文献

Interleukin (IL)-6-type cytokines are multifunctional proteins involved in cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial protection. Recent studies, performed on animal models, report the production of these cytokines by heart. The aim of this study was to analyse the capacity of myocytes and fibroblasts isolated from human atrium to secrete IL-6, leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF), cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1), IL-11, oncostatin M (OSM), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) and the soluble receptor subunits sIL-6R and sgp130 during primary culture. We detected LIF, IL-11, sgp130 and a large amount of IL-6, but not OSM, CT-1, CNTF nor IL-6R in these culture supernatants. Both cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts are able to spontaneously produce IL-6. The increase of IL-6 production all along the culture period appears to be the consequence of fibroblast proliferation and gp130 stimulation. This is the first demonstration that human cardiac cells are able to secrete IL-6, but also LIF and IL-11 in vitro. These cytokines could be involved in an autocrine and/or a paracrine networks regulating myocardial cyto-protection, hypertrophy and fibrosis. 相似文献

Four and a half LIM domain (FHL) protein family members, FHL1 and FHL2, are multifunctional proteins that are enriched in cardiac muscle. Although they both localize within the cardiomyocyte sarcomere (titin N2B), they have been shown to have important yet unique functions within the context of cardiac hypertrophy and disease. Studies in FHL1-deficient mice have primarily uncovered mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) scaffolding functions for FHL1 as part of a novel biomechanical stretch sensor within the cardiomyocyte sarcomere, which acts as a positive regulator of pressure overload-mediated cardiac hypertrophy. New data have highlighted a novel role for the serine/threonine protein phosphatase (PP5) as a deactivator of the FHL1-based biomechanical stretch sensor, which has implications in not only cardiac hypertrophy but also heart failure. In contrast, studies in FHL2-deficient mice have primarily uncovered an opposing role for FHL2 as a negative regulator of adrenergic-mediated signaling and cardiac hypertrophy, further suggesting unique functions targeted by FHL proteins in the “stressed” cardiomyocyte. In this review, we provide current knowledge of the role of FHL1 and FHL2 in cardiac muscle as it relates to their actions in cardiac hypertrophy and cardiomyopathy. A specific focus will be to dissect the pathways and protein-protein interactions that underlie FHLs’ signaling role in cardiac hypertrophy as well as provide a comprehensive list of FHL mutations linked to cardiac disease, using evidence gained from genetic mouse models and human genetic studies. 相似文献

Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and extracellular matrix remodeling, primarily mediated by inflammatory cytokine-stimulated cardiac fibroblasts, are critical cellular events in cardiac pathology. The molecular components governing these processes remain nebulous, and few genes have been linked to both hypertrophy and matrix remodeling. Here we show that p8, a small stress-inducible basic helix-loop-helix protein, is required for endothelin- and alpha-adrenergic agonist-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and for tumor necrosis factor-stimulated induction, in cardiac fibroblasts, of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) 9 and 13-MMPs linked to general inflammation and to adverse ventricular remodeling in heart failure. In a stimulus-dependent manner, p8 associates with chromatin containing c-Jun and with the cardiomyocyte atrial natriuretic factor (anf) promoter and the cardiac fibroblast mmp9 and mmp13 promoters, established activator protein 1 effectors. p8 is also induced strongly in the failing human heart by a process reversed upon therapeutic intervention. Our results identify an unexpectedly broad involvement for p8 in key cellular events linked to cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and cardiac fibroblast MMP production, both of which occur in heart failure. 相似文献

Nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in cardiac hypertrophy. Although it has been reported that statins inhibit cardiac hypertrophy by reducing generation of reactive oxygen species, it is not yet known whether statins prevent NF-kappa B activation and whether this effect can be related to the reduction in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) pathway. In this study, we examined the role of atorvastatin on NF-kappa B activity and PPAR signaling in pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Our findings indicate that atorvastatin inhibits cardiac hypertrophy and prevents the fall in the protein levels of PPAR alpha and PPAR beta/delta. Further, atorvastatin treatment avoided NF-kappa B activation during cardiac hypertrophy, reducing the protein-protein association between these PPAR subtypes and the p65 subunit of NF-kappa B. These findings indicate that negative cross-talk between NF-kappa B and PPARs may interfere with the transactivation capacity of the latter, leading to a fall in the expression of genes involved in fatty acid metabolism, and that these changes are prevented by statin treatment. 相似文献

Local insulin-like growth factor I expression induces physiologic, then pathologic, cardiac hypertrophy in transgenic mice. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
In the present study we determined the long-term effects of persistent, local insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) expression on cardiac function in the SIS2 transgenic mouse. Cardiac mass/tibial length was increased in SIS2 mice by 10 wk of age; this cardiac hypertrophy became more pronounced later in life. Peak aortic outflow velocity, a correlate of cardiac output, was increased at 10 wk in SIS2 mice but was decreased at 52 wk. 72 wk SIS2 mouse hearts exhibited wide variability in the extent of cardiac hypertrophy and enlargement of individual cardiac myofibers. Sirius red staining revealed increased fibrosis in 72 wk SIS2 hearts. Persistent local IGF-I expression is sufficient to initially induce an analog of physiological cardiac hypertrophy in which peak aortic outflow velocity is increased relative to controls in the absence of any observed detrimental histological changes. However, this hypertrophy progresses to a pathological condition characterized by decreased systolic performance and increased fibrosis. Our results confirm the short-term systolic performance benefit of increased IGF-I, but our demonstration that IGF-I ultimately diminishes systolic performance raises doubt about the therapeutic value of chronic IGF-I administration. Considering these findings, limiting temporal exposure to IGF-I seems the most likely means of delivering IGF-I's potential benefits while avoiding its deleterious side effects. 相似文献

Recent in vitro studies suggest that adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) exerts inhibitory effects on cardiac hypertrophy. However, it is unclear whether long-term activation of AMPK will affect cardiac hypertrophy in vivo. In these reports, we investigate the in vivo effects of long-term AMPK activation on cardiac hypertrophy and the related molecular mechanisms. To examine the effects of AMPK activation in the development of pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy, we administered 5-aminoimidazole 1 carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAR, 0.5 mg/g body wt), a specific activator of AMPK, to rats with transaortic constriction (TAC) for 7 weeks. We found that long-term AMPK activation attenuated cardiac hypertrophy, and improved cardiac function in rats subjected to TAC. Furthermore, long-term AMPK activation attenuated protein synthesis, diminished calcineurin-nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) and nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) signaling in pressure overload-induced hypertrophic hearts. Our in vitro experiments further proved that activation of AMPK by infection of AdAMPK blocked cardiac hypertrophy and NFAT, NF-kappaB, and MAPK signal pathways. The present study demonstrates for the first time that pharmacological activation of AMPK inhibits cardiac hypertrophy in through blocking signaling transduction pathways that are involved in cardiac growth. It presents a potential therapy strategy to inhibit pathological cardiac hypertrophy by increasing the activity of AMPK. 相似文献
