The Angiotensin II Receptor Neprilysin Inhibitor LCZ696 Inhibits the NLRP3 Inflammasome By Reducing Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Macrophages and Alleviates Dextran Sulfate Sodium-induced Colitis in a Mouse Model. Inflammation 2024; 47:696-717. [PMID: 38319541 DOI: 10.1007/s10753-023-01939-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Revised: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
The intracellular sensor protein complex known as the NACHT, LRR, and PYD domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome plays a crucial role in regulating inflammatory diseases by overseeing the production of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18. Targeting its abnormal activation with drugs holds significant promise for inflammation treatment. This study highlights LCZ696, an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor, as an effective suppressor of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages stimulated by ATP, nigericin, and monosodium urate. LCZ696 also reduces caspase-11 and GSDMD activation, lactate dehydrogenase release, propidium iodide uptake, and the extracellular release of NLRP3 and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC) in ATP-activated macrophages, suggesting a potential mitigation of pyroptosis. Mechanistically, LCZ696 lowers mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and preserves mitochondrial integrity. Importantly, it does not significantly impact NLRP3, proIL-1β, inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2 expression, or NF-κB activation in lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages. LCZ696 partially inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome through the induction of autophagy. In an in vivo context, LCZ696 alleviates NLRP3-associated colitis in a mouse model by reducing colonic expression of IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α. Collectively, these findings suggest that LCZ696 holds significant promise as a therapeutic agent for ameliorating NLRP3 inflammasome activation in various inflammatory diseases, extending beyond its established use in hypertension and heart failure treatment.

Abstract
Heart failure is a continuously developing syndrome of cardiac insufficiency caused by diseases, which becomes a major disease endangering human health as well as one of the main causes of death in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The occurrence of heart failure is related to hemodynamic abnormalities, neuroendocrine hormones, myocardial damage, myocardial remodeling etc, lead to the clinical manifestations including dyspnea, fatigue and fluid retention with complex pathophysiological mechanisms. Currently available drugs such as cardiac glycoside, diuretic, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, vasodilator and β receptor blocker etc are widely used for the treatment of heart failure. In particular, natural products and related active ingredients have the characteristics of mild efficacy, low toxicity, multi-target comprehensive efficacy, and have obvious advantages in restoring cardiac function, reducing energy disorder and improving quality of life. In this review, we mainly focus on the recent advance including mechanisms and active ingredients of natural products for the treatment of heart failure, which will provide the inspiration for the development of more potent clinical drugs against heart failure.

Circulating mitochondria promoted endothelial cGAS-derived neuroinflammation in subfornical organ to aggravate sympathetic overdrive in heart failure mice. J Neuroinflammation 2024; 21:27. [PMID: 38243316 PMCID: PMC10799549 DOI: 10.1186/s12974-024-03013-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/21/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sympathoexcitation contributes to myocardial remodeling in heart failure (HF). Increased circulating pro-inflammatory mediators directly act on the Subfornical organ (SFO), the cardiovascular autonomic center, to increase sympathetic outflow. Circulating mitochondria (C-Mito) are the novel discovered mediators for inter-organ communication. Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is the pro-inflammatory sensor of damaged mitochondria. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the sympathoexcitation effect of C-Mito in HF mice via promoting endothelial cGAS-derived neuroinflammation in the SFO. METHODS C-Mito were isolated from HF mice established by isoprenaline (0.0125 mg/kg) infusion via osmotic mini-pumps for 2 weeks. Structural and functional analyses of C-Mito were conducted. Pre-stained C-Mito were intravenously injected every day for 2 weeks. Specific cGAS knockdown (cGAS KD) in the SFO endothelial cells (ECs) was achieved via the administration of AAV9-TIE-shRNA (cGAS) into the SFO. The activation of cGAS in the SFO ECs was assessed. The expression of the mitochondrial redox regulator Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) and its interaction with cGAS were also explored. Neuroinflammation and neuronal activation in the SFO were evaluated. Sympathetic activity, myocardial remodeling, and cardiac systolic dysfunction were measured. RESULTS C-Mito were successfully isolated, which showed typical structural characteristics of mitochondria with double-membrane and inner crista. Further analysis showed impaired respiratory complexes activities of C-Mito from HF mice (C-MitoHF) accompanied by oxidative damage. C-Mito entered ECs, instead of glial cells and neurons in the SFO of HF mice. C-MitoHF increased the level of ROS and cytosolic free double-strand DNA (dsDNA), and activated cGAS in cultured brain endothelial cells. Furthermore, C-MitoHF highly expressed DHODH, which interacted with cGAS to facilitate endothelial cGAS activation. C-MitoHF aggravated endothelial inflammation, microglial/astroglial activation, and neuronal sensitization in the SFO of HF mice, which could be ameliorated by cGAS KD in the ECs of the SFO. Further analysis showed C-MitoHF failed to exacerbate sympathoexcitation and myocardial sympathetic hyperinnervation in cGAS KD HF mice. C-MitoHF promoted myocardial fibrosis and hypertrophy, and cardiac systolic dysfunction in HF mice, which could be ameliorated by cGAS KD. CONCLUSION Collectively, we demonstrated that damaged C-MitoHF highly expressed DHODH, which promoted endothelial cGAS activation in the SFO, hence aggravating the sympathoexcitation and myocardial injury in HF mice, suggesting that C-Mito might be the novel therapeutic target for sympathoexcitation in HF.

TXNIP aggravates cardiac fibrosis and dysfunction after myocardial infarction in mice by enhancing the TGFB1/Smad3 pathway and promoting NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Acta Biochim Biophys Sin (Shanghai) 2023; 55:1950-1960.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) results in high mortality. The size of fibrotic scar tissue following MI is an independent predictor of MI outcomes. Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) is involved in various fibrotic diseases. Its role in post-MI cardiac fibrosis, however, remains poorly understood. In the present study, we investigate the biological role of TXNIP in post-MI cardiac fibrosis and the underlying mechanism using mouse MI models of the wild-type (WT), Txnip-knockout ( Txnip-KO) type and Txnip-knock-in ( Txnip-KI) type. After MI, the animals present with significantly upregulated TXNIP levels, and their fibrotic areas are remarkably expanded with noticeably impaired cardiac function. These changes are further aggravated under Txnip-KI conditions but are ameliorated in Txnip-KO animals. MI also leads to increased protein levels of the fibrosis indices Collagen I, Collagen III, actin alpha 2 (ACTA2), and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF). The Txnip-KI group exhibits the highest levels of these proteins, while the lowest levels are observed in the Txnip-KO mice. Furthermore, Txnip-KI significantly upregulates the levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)B1, p-Smad3, NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3), Cleaved Caspase-1, and interleukin (IL)1B after MI, but these effects are markedly offset by Txnip-KO. In addition, after MI, the Smad7 level significantly decreases, particularly in the Txnip-KI mice. TXNIP may aggravate the progression of post-MI fibrosis and cardiac dysfunction by activating the NLRP3 inflammasome, followed by IL1B generation and then the enhancement of the TGFB1/Smad3 pathway. As such, TXNIP might serve as a novel potential therapeutic target for the treatment of post-MI cardiac fibrosis.

Abstract
Myocardial fibrosis, which is a common pathological manifestation of many cardiovascular diseases, is characterized by excessive proliferation, collagen deposition and abnormal distribution of extracellular matrix fibroblasts. In clinical practice, modern medicines, such as diuretic and β receptor blockers, and traditional Chinese medicines, such as salvia miltiorrhiza and safflower extract, have certain therapeutic effects on myocardial fibrosis. We reviewed some representative modern medicines and traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) and their related molecular mechanisms for the treatment of myocardial fibrosis. These drugs alleviate myocardial fibrosis by affecting related signaling pathways and inhibiting myocardial fibrosis-related protein synthesis. This review will provide more references and help for the research and treatment of myocardial fibrosis.

Abstract
Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare disease defined by morphological criteria, consisting of a two-layered ventricular wall, a thin compacted epicardial layer, and a thick hyper-trabeculated myocardium layer with deep recesses. Controversies still exist regarding whether it is a distinct cardiomyopathy (CM) or a morphological trait of different conditions. This review analyzes data from the literature regarding diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis in LVNC and the current knowledge regarding reverse remodeling in this form of CM. Furthermore, for clear exemplification, we report a case of a 41-year-old male who presented symptoms of heart failure (HF). LVNC CM was suspected at the time of transthoracic echocardiography and was subsequently confirmed upon cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. A favorable remodeling and clinical outcome were registered after including an angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor in the HF treatment. LVNC remains a heterogenous CM, and although a favorable outcome is not commonly encountered, some patients respond well to therapy.

Abstract
Cardiac fibrosis plays an indispensable role in cardiac tissue homeostasis and repair after myocardial infarction (MI). The cardiac fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation and extracellular matrix collagen deposition are the hallmarks of cardiac fibrosis, which are modulated by multiple signaling pathways and various types of cells in time-dependent manners. Our understanding of the development of cardiac fibrosis after MI has evolved in basic and clinical researches, and the regulation of fibrotic remodeling may facilitate novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, and finally improve outcomes. Here, we aim to elaborate pathophysiology, examination and intervention of cardiac fibrosis after MI.

Yang P, Li X, Wang L, Wu X, Wang C, Li T, Wang H. Effects of sacubitril/valsartan on cardiac reverse remodeling and cardiac resynchronization in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 9:1059420. [PMID: 36712243 PMCID: PMC9880431 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1059420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction In 2014, the PARADIGM-HF trial (Prospective Comparison of ARNI with ACEI to Determine Impact on Global Mortality and Morbidity in Heart Failure) has shown that sacubitril/valsartan can reduce the risk of hospitalization and death from cardiovascular causes more effectively than enalapril (an ACEI) in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Similarly, the PARADIGM-HF trial (Comparison of Sacubitril-Valsartan vs. Enalapril on Effect on NT-proBNP in Patients Stabilized from an Acute Heart Failure Episode) came to similar conclusions and extended the PARADIGM-HF trial results in 2019. Since then, numerous new studies have provided further insight in HFrEF, sacubitril/valsartan can reduce N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels, increase left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), reverse ventricular remodeling, and reduce other non-fatal manifestations of clinical deterioration as compared to ACEI/ARB. However, few trials have compared the effects of these drugs in patients shortly after AMI. Therefore, it is necessary to further explore the clinical efficacy and safety of sacubitril/valsartan vs. valsartan in patients with AMI. Methods We conducted an open-label, prospective, randomized controlled trial to determine the superiority in ameliorating ventricular remodeling and preventing of heart failure in patients with AMI after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), 148 patients were randomly assigned (85 to sacubitril/valsartan and 63 to valsartan). Results LAV, LVDV, and LVSV were all decreased in the sacubitril/valsartan group when compared with before treatment, but there was no difference between the sacubitril/valsartan group and the valsartan group. In addition, compared with before treatment in the sacubitril/valsartan group, the heart global work index (GWI) and the global work efficiency (GWE) increased, while the heart global wasted work (GWW) decreased. Patients in the sacubitril/valsartan group have similar MACE and adverse side effects to those in the valsartan group. Conclusion Sacubitril/valsartan has the same performance as valsartan in inhibiting ventricular remodeling and preventing heart failure after PCI in patients with AMI, and its clinical application is safe. It provides a clinical foundation for the application of sacubitril/valsartan in patients with AMI.

Abstract
Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) poses a clinical challenge in the management of cancer patients. AIC is characterized by myocardial systolic dysfunction and remodeling, caused by cardiomyocyte DNA damage, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, or renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) dysregulation. In the past decade, after positive results of a PARADIGM-HF trial, a new class of drugs, namely angiotensin receptor/neprilysin inhibitors (ARNi), was incorporated into the management of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. As demonstrated in a variety of preclinical studies of cardiovascular diseases, the cardioprotective effects of ARNi administration are associated with decreased oxidative stress levels, the inhibition of myocardial inflammatory response, protection against mitochondrial damage and endothelial dysfunction, and improvement in the RAAS imbalance. However, data on ARNi's effectiveness in the prevention of AIC remains limited. Several reports of ARNi administration in animal models of AIC have shown promising results, as ARNi prevented ventricular systolic dysfunction and electrocardiographic changes and ameliorated oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and the inflammatory response associated with anthracyclines. There is currently an ongoing PRADAII trial aimed to assess the efficacy of ARNi in patients receiving breast cancer treatment, which is expected to be completed by late 2025.

Abstract
Tetrahydropalmatine (THP) is an active component of Corydalis yanhusuo W. T. Wang. The current study investigates the possible cardioprotective effects of tetrahydropalmatine in acute myocardial ischemia (AMI) rats. The anterior descending coronary artery of SD rats was ligated to establish an AMI model. After two weeks of gavage of THP, cardiac function was determined by echocardiography. The organ index and the infarct size were assessed after the experiment, and the histopathological myocardial tissue changes were observed. In addition, the apoptosis index of myocardial cells was detected by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. The levels of SOD, MDA, CAT, GSH-Px, BNP, and cTn-I were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. To determine relevant proteins, the Western blot and molecular docking were applied. Compared with the model group, THP could enhance rat cardiac ejection function to improve cardiac function, drastically lessen the infarct size, reduce myocardial cell damage and inflammatory cell infiltration. THP might also prevent ischemic myocardial damage by inhibiting myocardial cell apoptosis and efficiently reducing oxidative stress. Specifically, THP could decrease MDA, BNP, c-TnI activities, as well as the expression of Bax and Caspase-3 protein, while increasing SOD, GSH-Px, CAT activities, and Bcl-2 level. Furthermore, THP could significantly promote the phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt proteins. The involved pathways and proteins have also been verified through molecular docking. According to these findings, THP may preserve the myocardium due to its anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic properties.

Abstract
Objective Systematic evaluation of the efficacy of natriuretic recombination in human brain on disease myocardial infarction, left ventricular heart failure, and the efficacy and safety of long-term left ventricular remodeling. Methods Computerized search of CNKI, Wanfang database, Wipro Chinese Technology Publications (VIP) numerical database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Medline Cochrane Library, clinical Trail.Gov clinical collection, and other documents. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction from inception to December 2021 were searched. Based on the Jadad scale, inclusion-exclusion data for diseases were collected and elaborated by meta by RevMan 5.3 simulation software. In a total of 23 randomized controlled trials, 2 024 cases were used as the basic data, the control group was routinely treated for 1 012 cases, and 1 012 cases in the experimental group were also treated with natriuretic peptide in the recombinant human brain on the previous basis. Results In terms of overall efficacy, the experimental group was better than the control group, statistically significant (OR = 4.30, 95% CI (3.26, 5.67), P < 0.000 01), left ventricular ejection fraction in the experimental group than the control group (OR = 1.58, 95% CI (1.27, 1.90), P < 0.000 01). In terms of a myocardial strain in the left ventricle, the experimental group was superior to the control group. The difference was significant (OR = −0.91, 95% CI (-1.50, -0.33), P = 0.002). In terms of the cardiac output volume, the experimental group was superior to the control group (OR = 1.24, 95% CI (0.55, 1.94), P = 0.0005). Regarding brain natriuretic peptide precursors, the experimental group was superior to the control group (OR = −4.37, 95% CI (-6.21, -3.25), P < 0.00001). In terms of the heart rate, the experimental group was superior to the control group. Measurement of differential significance is as follows: OR = −13.70, 95% CI (-14.95, -12.46), P < 0.00001. In terms of contraction, the experimental group was superior to the comparison group (OR = −12.38, 95% CI (-17.98, -6.79), P < 0.00001). The experimental group outperformed the control group (OR = −7.42, 95% CI (-8.53, -6.30), P < 0.00001). In terms of bad influence, the measurement is as follows: OR = 0.95, 95% CI (0.29, 3.16), P = 0.94. Conclusion In patients with acute myocardial infarction and left ventricular remodeling, if treated with a heavy treatment of the group of cerebral natriuretic peptide mode, it can increase clinical treatment, improve the cardiac effect, inhibit ventricular remodeling, improve blood pressure and heart rhythm, and have greater clinical treatment and safety.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases have become a major clinical burden globally. Heart failure is one of the diseases that commonly emanates from progressive uncontrolled hypertension. This gives rise to the need for a new treatment for the disease. Sacubitril/valsartan is a new drug combination that has been approved for patients with heart failure. This review aims to detail the mechanism of action for sacubitril/valsartan in cardiac remodeling, a cellular and molecular process that occurs during the development of heart failure. Accumulating evidence has unveiled the cardioprotective effects of sacubitril/valsartan on cellular and molecular modulation in cardiac remodeling, with recent large-scale randomized clinical trials confirming its supremacy over other traditional heart failure treatments. However, its molecular mechanism of action in cardiac remodeling remains obscure. Therefore, comprehending the molecular mechanism of action of sacubitril/valsartan could help future research to study the drug’s potential therapy to reduce the severity of heart failure.

Abstract
Although the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) has improved considerably, it is still a worldwide disease with high morbidity and high mortality. Whilst there is still a long way to go for discovering ideal treatments, therapeutic strategies committed to cardioprotection and cardiac repair following cardiac ischemia are emerging. Evidence of pathological characteristics in MI illustrates cell signaling pathways that participate in the survival, proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy of cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, monocytes, and stem cells. These signaling pathways include the key players in inflammation response, e.g., NLRP3/caspase-1 and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB; the crucial mediators in oxidative stress and apoptosis, for instance, Notch, Hippo/YAP, RhoA/ROCK, Nrf2/HO-1, and Sonic hedgehog; the controller of myocardial fibrosis such as TGF-β/SMADs and Wnt/β-catenin; and the main regulator of angiogenesis, PI3K/Akt, MAPK, JAK/STAT, Sonic hedgehog, etc. Since signaling pathways play an important role in administering the process of MI, aiming at targeting these aberrant signaling pathways and improving the pathological manifestations in MI is indispensable and promising. Hence, drug therapy, gene therapy, protein therapy, cell therapy, and exosome therapy have been emerging and are known as novel therapies. In this review, we summarize the therapeutic strategies for MI by regulating these associated pathways, which contribute to inhibiting cardiomyocytes death, attenuating inflammation, enhancing angiogenesis, etc. so as to repair and re-functionalize damaged hearts.
