Direct Reprogramming Improves Cardiac Function and Reverses Fibrosis in Chronic Myocardial Infarction

Hidenori Tani, Taketaro Sadahiro, Yu Yamada, Mari Isomi, Hiroyuki Yamakawa, Ryo Fujita, Yuto Abe, Tatsuya Akiyama, Koji Nakano, Yuta Kuze, Masahide Seki, Yutaka Suzuki, Manabu Fujisawa, Mamiko Sakata-Yanagimoto, Shigeru Chiba, Keiichi Fukuda, Masaki Ieda

Summary: Adult cardiomyocytes have limited regenerative ability, and the synthesis of extracellular matrix by cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) results in fibrosis and heart dysfunction after myocardial infarction (MI). The overexpression of cardiac transcription factors, MGTH, can directly reprogram CFs into induced cardiomyocytes (iCMs) and improve cardiac function in acute MI. However, it is unclear whether in vivo cardiac reprogramming can repair chronic MI with established scars.

NRSF-GNAO1 Pathway Contributes to the Regulation of Cardiac Ca2+ Homeostasis

Hideaki Inazumi, Koichiro Kuwahara, Yasuaki Nakagawa, Yoshihiro Kuwabara, Takuro Numaga-Tomita, Toshihide Kashihara, Tsutomu Nakada, Nagomi Kurebayashi, Miku Oya, Miki Nonaka, Masami Sugihara, Hideyuki Kinoshita, Kenji Moriuchi, Hiromu Yanagisawa, Toshio Nishikimi, Hirohiko Motoki, Mitsuhiko Yamada, Sachio Morimoto, Kinya Otsu, Richard M. Mortensen, Kazuwa Nakao, Takeshi Kimura

Summary: NRSF is a transcriptional repressor that suppresses the reactivation of fetal cardiac gene program and maintains cardiac integrity. This study reveals that NRSF regulates ventricular function by controlling the expression of G alpha(o) gene, and excessive expression of G alpha(o) leads to cardiac dysfunction. Additionally, G alpha(o) plays a critical role in cardiac Ca2+ homeostasis and systolic function.

Eugenol interacts with cardiac sodium channel and reduces heart excitability and arrhythmias

Jorge Lucas Teixeira-Fonseca, Artur Santos-Miranda, Joab Barbosa da Silva, Leisiane Pereira Marques, Julliane Vasconcelos Joviano-Santos, Paula Idma Chaves Nunes, Danilo Roman-Campos, Antonio Nei Santana Gondim

Summary: Eugenol, a natural compound found in aromatic plants, has been shown to have antiarrhythmic activity by reducing sodium current, shifting inactivation curve, delaying recovery from inactivation, and blocking the channel in the inactivated state. These findings suggest that eugenol interacts with Na(v)1.5 to exert its antiarrhythmic effects.

Acute Genetic Ablation of Cardiac Sodium/Calcium Exchange in Adult Mice: Implications for Cardiomyocyte Calcium Regulation, Cardioprotection, and Arrhythmia

Sabine Lotteau, Rui Zhang, Adina Hazan, Christina Grabar, Devina Gonzalez, Stephan Aynaszyan, Kenneth D. Philipson, Michela Ottolia, Joshua Goldhaber

Summary: This study developed a tamoxifen-inducible NCX1 knockout mouse model, finding that NCX1 KO mice adapt to acute genetic ablation by reducing Ca2+ influx, increasing alternative Ca2+ efflux pathways, and increasing excitation-contraction coupling gain to maintain contractility at the cost of mild hypertrophy and fibrosis, with decreased survival. However, KO myocytes are protected against spontaneous action potentials and ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Blockade of sodium-calcium exchanger via ORM-10962 attenuates cardiac alternans

Jozefina Szlovak, Jakub Tomek, Xin Zhou, Noemi Toth, Roland Veress, Balazs Horvath, Norbert Szentandrassy, Jouko Levijoki, Julius Gy. Papp, Neil Herring, Andras Varro, David A. Eisner, Blanca Rodriguez, Norbert Nagy

Summary: The study found that the NCX blocker ORM-10962 can effectively reduce cardiac alternans in both action potential duration and calcium transients, with differential effects on different types of alternans, and indirectly increasing post-repolarization refractoriness by reducing L-type calcium current. Computer simulations confirmed that ORM-10962 acts by reducing sarcoplasmic reticulum release refractoriness through NCX block and indirect reduction in L-type calcium current, suggesting it may be a useful anti-arrhythmic strategy.

Summary: This study investigates the regulation of pH(i) in cardiomyocytes and finds a correlation between cardiac contractions and pH(i) transients. The pH(i) transients are influenced by various factors, including pacing rate, transporters, buffering capacity, and β-adrenergic signaling. Mitochondrial activity plays a role in pH(i) regulation, and a decrease in pH(i) may act as a negative feedback to cardiac contractions.

Molecular Mechanism of a FRET Biosensor for the Cardiac Ryanodine Receptor Pathologically Leaky State

Bengt Svensson, Florentin R. Nitu, Robyn T. Rebbeck, Lindsey M. Mcgurran, Tetsuro Oda, David D. Thomas, Donald M. Bers, Razvan L. Cornea

Summary: Current studies have shown that Ca2+ leakage from cardiomyocyte sarcoplasmic reticulum through hyperactive resting cardiac ryanodine receptor channels (RyR2) has a pro-arrhythmic effect. An exogenous peptide (DPc10) binding promotes leaky RyR2 in cardiomyocytes and reports on the endogenous state. Conversely, binding of calmodulin (CaM) inhibits RyR2 leak and low CaM affinity is indicative of leaky RyR2. These findings have led to the development of a FRET biosensor for drug discovery targeting RyR2.

Subcellular Propagation of Cardiomyocyte β-Adrenergic Activation of Calcium Uptake Involves Internal β-Receptors and AKAP7

Thomas R. Shannon, Dan J. Bare, Sabine Van Dijk, Shayan Raofi, Tiffany N-M Huynh, Yang K. Xiang, Julie Bossuyt, Kimberly L. Dodge-Kafka, Kenneth S. Ginsburg, Donald M. Bers

Summary: Beta-adrenergic receptor signaling in cardiac myocytes is important for cardiac function, and the spatiotemporal activation of this signaling is still not well understood. Research has shown that localized activation of beta-adrenergic receptors can trigger the spread of calcium transport and uptake in myocytes. Intracellular mobility of beta-adrenergic receptors and AKAP7 gamma may play a role in this activation spread.
