[PMID: 38574839 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) can induce massive death of ischemic penumbra neurons via oxygen burst, exacerbating brain damage. Parthanatos is a form of caspase-independent cell death involving excessive activation of PARP-1, closely associated with intense oxidative stress following CIRI. 4'-O-methylbavachalcone (MeBavaC), an isoprenylated chalcone component in Fructus Psoraleae, has potential neuroprotective effects. This study primarily investigates whether MeBavaC can act on SIRT3 to alleviate parthanatos of ischemic penumbra neurons induced by CIRI. MeBavaC was oral gavaged to the middle cerebral artery occlusion-reperfusion (MCAO/R) rats after occlusion. The effects of MeBavaC on cerebral injury were detected by the neurological deficit score and cerebral infarct volume. In vitro, PC-12 cells were subjected to oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R), and assessed cell viability and cell injury. Also, the levels of ROS, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and intracellular Ca2+ levels were detected to reflect mitochondrial function. We conducted western blotting analyses of proteins involved in parthanatos and related signaling pathways. Finally, the exact mechanism between the neuroprotection of MeBavaC and parthanatos was explored. Our results indicate that MeBavaC reduces the cerebral infarct volume and neurological deficit scores in MCAO/R rats, and inhibits the decreased viability of PC-12 cells induced by OGD/R. MeBavaC also downregulates the expression of parthanatos-related death proteins PARP-1, PAR, and AIF. However, this inhibitory effect is weakened after the use of a SIRT3 inhibitor. In conclusion, the protective effect of MeBavaC against CIRI may be achieved by inhibiting parthanatos of ischemic penumbra neurons through the SIRT3-PARP-1 axis.

Abstract
Aging, a complex biological process, plays key roles the development of multiple disorders referred as aging-related diseases involving cardiovascular diseases, stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, lipid metabolism-related diseases. ADP-ribosylation is a reversible modification onto proteins and nucleic acids to alter their structures and/or functions. Growing evidence support the importance of ADP-ribosylation and ADP-ribosylation-associated enzymes in aging and age-related diseases. In this review, we summarized ADP-ribosylation-associated proteins including ADP-ribosyl transferases, the ADP-ribosyl hydrolyses and ADP-ribose binding domains. Furthermore, we outlined the latest knowledge about regulation of ADP-ribosylation in the pathogenesis and progression of main aging-related diseases, organism aging and cellular senescence, and we also speculated the underlying mechanisms to better disclose this novel molecular network. Moreover, we discussed current issues and provided an outlook for future research, aiming to revealing the unknown bio-properties of ADP-ribosylation, and establishing a novel therapeutic perspective in aging-related diseases and health aging via targeting ADP-ribosylation.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are severe diseases posing threat to human health because of their high morbidity and mortality worldwide. The incidence of diabetes mellitus is also increasing rapidly. Various signaling molecules are involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6), which is a class III histone deacetylase, has attracted numerous attentions since its discovery. Sirt6 enjoys a unique structure, important biological functions, and is involved in multiple cellular processes such as stress response, mitochondrial biogenesis, transcription, insulin resistance, inflammatory response, chromatin silencing, and apoptosis. Sirt6 also plays significant roles in regulating several cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, as well as cardiac remodeling, bringing Sirt6 into the focus of clinical interests. In this review, we examine the recent advances in understanding the mechanistic working through which Sirt6 alters the course of lethal cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Background: Since its discovery, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) has been extensively studied due to its regulatory role in numerous biologically crucial pathways. PARP inhibitors have opened new therapeutic avenues for cancer patients and have gained approval as standalone treatments for certain types of cancer. With continued advancements in the research of PARP inhibitors, we can fully realize their potential as therapeutic targets for various diseases. Purpose: To assess the current understanding of PARP-1 mechanisms in radioprotection and radiotherapy based on the literature. Methods: We searched the PubMed database and summarized information on PARP inhibitors, the interaction of PARP-1 with DNA, and the relationships between PARP-1 and p53/ROS, NF-κB/DNA-PK, and caspase3/AIF, respectively. Results: The enzyme PARP-1 plays a crucial role in repairing DNA damage and modifying proteins. Cells exposed to radiation can experience DNA damage, such as single-, intra-, or inter-strand damage. This damage, associated with replication fork stagnation, triggers DNA repair mechanisms, including those involving PARP-1. The activity of PARP-1 increases 500-fold on DNA binding. Studies on PARP-1-knockdown mice have shown that the protein regulates the response to radiation. A lack of PARP-1 also increases the organism's sensitivity to radiation injury. PARP-1 has been found positively or negatively regulate the expression of specific genes through its modulation of key transcription factors and other molecules, including NF-κB, p53, Caspase 3, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF). Conclusion: This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the physiological and pathological roles of PARP-1 and examines the impact of PARP-1 inhibitors under conditions of ionizing radiation exposure. The review also emphasizes the challenges and opportunities for developing PARP-1 inhibitors to improve the clinical outcomes of ionizing radiation damage.

Abstract
As an important NAD+-dependent enzyme, SIRT6 has received significant attention since its discovery. In view of observations that SIRT6-deficient animals exhibit genomic instability and metabolic disorders and undergo early death, SIRT6 has long been considered a protein of longevity. Recently, growing evidence has demonstrated that SIRT6 functions as a deacetylase, mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase and long fatty deacylase and participates in a variety of cellular signaling pathways from DNA damage repair in the early stage to disease progression. In this review, we elaborate on the specific substrates and molecular mechanisms of SIRT6 in various physiological and pathological processes in detail, emphasizing its links to aging (genomic damage, telomere integrity, DNA repair), metabolism (glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, insulin secretion and lipid synthesis, lipolysis, thermogenesis), inflammation and cardiovascular diseases (atherosclerosis, cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, ischemia-reperfusion injury). In addition, the most recent advances regarding SIRT6 modulators (agonists and inhibitors) as potential therapeutic agents for SIRT6-mediated diseases are reviewed.

The cross-talk between PARylation and SUMOylation in C/EBPβ at K134 site participates in pathological cardiac hypertrophy. Int J Biol Sci 2022; 18:783-799.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) and SUMO modification (SUMOylation) are novel post-translational modifications (PTMs) mainly induced by PARP1 and SUMO1. Growing evidence has revealed that C/EBPβ plays multiple roles in biological processes and participates in cardiovascular diseases. However, the cross-talk between C/EBPβ PARylation and SUMOylation during cardiovascular diseases is unknown. This study aims to investigate the effects of C/EBPβ PTMs on cardiac hypertrophy and its underlying mechanism. Abdominal aortic constriction (AAC) and phenylephrine (PE) were conducted to induce cardiac hypertrophy. Intramyocardial delivery of recombinant adenovirus (Ad-PARP1) was taken to induce PARP1 overexpression. In this study, we found C/EBPβ participates in PARP1-induced cardiac hypertrophy. C/EBPβ K134 residue could be both PARylated and SUMOylated individually by PARP1 and SUMO1. Moreover, the accumulation of PARylation on C/EBPβ at K134 site exhibits downregulation of C/EBPβ SUMOylation at the same site. Importantly, C/EBPβ K134 site SUMOylation could decrease C/EBPβ protein stability and participates in PARP1-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Taken together, these findings highlight the importance of the cross-talk between C/EBPβ PTMs at K134 site in determining its protein level and function, suggesting that multi-target pharmacological strategies inhibiting PARP1 and activating C/EBPβ SUMOylation would be potential for treating pathological cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
SIRT6 belongs to the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylases and has established diverse roles in aging, metabolism and disease. Its function is similar to the Silent Information Regulator 2 (SIR2), which prolongs lifespan and regulates genomic stability, telomere integrity, transcription, and DNA repair. It has been demonstrated that increasing the sirtuin level through genetic manipulation extends the lifespan of yeast, nematodes and flies. Deficiency of SIRT6 induces chronic inflammation, autophagy disorder and telomere instability. Also, these cellular processes can lead to the occurrence and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), such as atherosclerosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Herein, we discuss the implications of SIRT6 regulates multiple cellular processes in cell senescence and aging-related CVDs, and we summarize clinical application of SIRT6 agonists and possible therapeutic interventions in aging-related CVDs.

Abstract
Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is a type III histone deacetylase that inhibits cardiac hypertrophy. It is mainly localized in the mitochondria and is thus implicated in mitochondrial metabolism. Recent studies have shown that SIRT3 can also accumulate in the nuclear under stressed conditions, and participated in histone deacetylation of target proteins. Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP-1) functions as an important PARP isoform that was involved in cardiac hypertrophy. Our experiments showed that SIRT3 accumulated in the nuclear of cardiomyocytes treated with isoproterenol or SIRT3 overexpression. Moreover, overexpression of SIRT3 by adenovirus inhibited the expression of cardiac hypertrophic genes-ANF and BNP, as well as abrogating PARP-1 activation induced by isoproterenol or phenylephrine. In addition, co-immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that SIRT3 could interact with PARP-1, and overexpression of SIRT3 could decrease the acetylation level of PARP-1. Our results indicate that SIRT3 exerts protective effects against cardiac hypertrophy by reducing the level of acetylation and activity of PARP-1, thus providing novel mechanistic insights into SIRT3-mediated cardiprotective actions.

Abstract
The histone deacetylase, sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), plays an essential role in the regulation of oxidative stress, mitochondrial function and inflammation in mammals. However, the specific role of SIRT6 in invertebrate immunity has not been reported. Here, we characterized for the first time, a sirtuin 6 homolog in Litopenaeus vannamei (LvSIRT6), with full-length cDNA of 2919 bp and 1536 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a putative protein of 511 amino acids, which contains a typical SIR2 domain. Sequence and phylogenetic analysis revealed that LvSIRT6 shares a close evolutionary relationship with SIRT6 from invertebrates. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of LvSIRT6 transcripts revealed that they were ubiquitously expressed in shrimp and induced in hepatopancreas and hemocytes upon challenge with Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Streptococcus iniae, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), suggesting the involvement of LvSIRT6 in shrimp immune response. Moreover, knockdown of LvSIRT6 decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and increased total ROS level in hemocytes, especially upon V. parahaemolyticus challenge. Depletion of LvSIRT6 also increased hemocytes apoptosis in terms of decreased expression of pro-survival LvBcl-2, but increased expression of pro-apoptotic LvBax and LvCytochrome C, coupled with high LvCaspase3/7 activity. Shrimp were rendered more susceptible to V. parahaemolyticus infection upon LvSIRT6 knockdown. Taken together, our present data suggest that LvSIRT6 plays an important role in shrimp immune response by modulating hemocytes ROS production and apoptosis during pathogen challenge.

Abstract
The clinical application of doxorubicin (DOX) in cancer chemotherapy is limited by its life-threatening cardiotoxic effects. Chrysophanol (CHR), an anthraquinone compound isolated from the rhizome of Rheum palmatum L., is considered to play a broad role in a variety of biological processes. However, the effects of CHR׳s cardioprotection in DOX-induced cardiomyopathy is poorly understood. In this study, we found that the cardiac apoptosis, mitochondrial injury and cellular PARylation levels were significantly increased in H9C2 cells treated by Dox, while these effects were suppressed by CHR. Similar results were observed when PARP1 activity was suppressed by its inhibitors 3-aminobenzamide (3AB) and ABT888. Ectopic expression of PARP1 effectively blocked this CHR׳s cardioprotection against DOX-induced cardiomyocyte injury in H9C2 cells. Furthermore, pre-administration with both CHR and 3AB relieved DOX-induced cardiac apoptosis, mitochondrial impairment and heart dysfunction in Sprague-Dawley rat model. These results revealed that CHR protects against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity by suppressing cellular PARylation and provided critical evidence that PARylation may be a novel target for DOX-induced cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
The activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) positively regulates myocardial hypertrophy, and its transcriptional activity is finely conditioned by diverse extracellular growth factors and cytokines. Here, we introduce novel evidence that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) interacts with STAT3 and promotes its activation in cardiomyocytes and rat heart tissues. PARP1 activity and phosphorylated STAT3 were augmented by hypertrophic stimuli both in vitro and in vivo. Infection of PARP1 adenovirus induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, which could be prevented by STAT3 knockdown or inhibition. Additionally, PARP1 enhanced STAT3 phosphorylation level, nuclear accumulation and transcriptional activity. Mechanistically, PARP1 interacts with STAT3 and retains active phosphorylated-STAT3 in nucleus. In conclusion, our findings provide the first evidence that PARP1 exacerbates cardiac hypertrophy by stabilizing active phosphorylated-STAT3, which suggests that multi-target therapeutic strategies counteracting PARP1 activity and STAT3 activation would be potential for treating cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases-1 (PARP-1)-mediated blockade of autophagic flow in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS H9c2 cells, a rat cardiac myocyte line, were divided into control group, hypoxia/ reoxygenation model group (H/R group), PARP-1 inhibitor (PJ34) group, and PJ34 + H/R group. The total protein was extracted from the cells in each group to detect the expressions of pADPr, Bax, the DNA damage marker protein p-YH2ax, and autophagic flow-associated proteins LC3BⅡ/LC3Ⅰ, Beclin-1, and P62 using Western blotting. RESULTS Compared with the control cells, the cells with H/R exhibited significantly increased expressions of pADPr, Bax and p-YH2ax (P < 0.05). The expressions of LC3B Ⅱ, beclin-1 and p62 were also increased significantly in the cells with H/R (P < 0.05), indicating the block of the autophagic flow. The application of PARP-1 inhibitor PJ34 in the cells with H/R significantly inhibited the expressions of pADPr (P < 0.05) and Bax (P < 0.01), and alleviated DNA damage in the cells. PJ34 treatment did not cause significant changes in the expressions of LC3B Ⅱ and beclin-1 but significantly decreased the expression of p62 (P < 0.05) in the cells with H/R. CONCLUSIONS Block of autophagic flow mediated by PARP-1 activation plays a role in myocardial ischemiareperfusion injury, and inhibition of PARP-1 activity can reverse autophagic flow block to reduce the injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the protective effect of MRL-45696, an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), against DNA damage after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in diabetic rats. METHODS Rat models of type 2 diabetes mellitus were established by high-fat feeding and a single peritoneal dose of streptozotocin. Forty diabetic rats were randomized equally into diabetic group, sham-operated group, sham-operated group with MRL-45696 treatment, I/R injury model group and I/R injury group with MRL-45696 treatment. The rats in MRL-45696-treated groups were subjected to daily intragastric administration of MRL-45696 (50 mg/kg) for 7 consecutive days, after which sham operation was performed or myocardial I/R injury was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 120 min. The range of myocardial infarction, plasma cardiac troponin I (cTnI), serum creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and cardiac myocyte apoptosis were detected. The levels of γ-H2AX, cleaved caspase-3, PARP-1, and PAR were detected with Western blotting, and the level of NAD was detected using colorimetry. RESULTS The infarct size was significantly smaller in MRL-45696 treatment group than in I/R injury group (P < 0.05). In I/R model group, the levels of cTnI, CK, and LDH in the plasma or serum and MDA, γ-H2AX, cleaved caspase-3 and apoptotic rate in the cardiac myocytes were significantly higher than those in the other groups (P < 0.05), and SOD activity was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Compared with I/R model group, the rats with MRL- 45696 treatment showed significantly decreased levels of cTnI, CK, LDH, MDA, γ-H2AX, cleaved caspase-3, PARP- 1, PAR expression and cell apoptosis with significantly increased levels of SOD and NAD (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS MRL-45696 can inhibit excessive activation of PARP-1, increase intracellular level of NAD and inhibit cardiac myocyte apoptosis to alleviate myocardial I/R-induced DNA damage and reduce myocardial infarct size in diabetic rats.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI), characterized by interruption of blood and oxygen to myocardium, is a common yet fatal cardiovascular event that causes progressive damage to myocardial tissue and eventually leads to heart failure. Previous studies have shown increased expression of microRNA-223 (miR-223) in infarcted myocardial tissues of humans and in rat models of MI. However, the role of miR-223 in cell survival during MI has not been elucidated. Thus, we aimed to investigate whether miR-223 participates in the regulation of cardiac ischemia-induced injury and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of this process. qRT-PCR revealed that miR-223 expression levels are significantly upregulated in the myocardial tissues of rats with post-MI heart failure and in hypoxia-treated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) and H9c2 cells, which indicates that miR-223 may be associated with chronic ischemia. We also transfected NRCMs and H9c2 cells with miR-223 mimics or inhibitors in vitro, and the results revealed that increasing miR-223 expression protected cells from hypoxia-induced apoptosis and excessive autophagy, whereas decreasing miR-223 expression had contrasting effects. Further exploration of the mechanism showed that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) is a target gene of miR-223 and that silencing PARP-1 prevented hypoxia-induced cell injury; additionally, silencing PARP-1 blocked the aggravated impact of miR-223 inhibitors. Thus, PARP-1 mediates the protective effects of miR-223 in hypoxia-treated cardiomyocytes. We also investigated the involvement of the Akt/mTOR pathway in the above phenomena. We found that miR-223 overexpression and PARP-1 silencing positively regulated the Akt/mTOR pathway and that treating cells with NVP-BEZ235 (BEZ235), a novel dual Akt/mTOR inhibitor, could reverse the inhibitory effects of both the miR-223 mimics and PARP-1 siRNA on hypoxia-induced apoptosis and autophagy. Taken together, our findings showed that miR-223 protects NRCMs and H9c2 cells from hypoxia-induced apoptosis and excessive autophagy via the Akt/mTOR pathway by targeting PARP-1; thus, miR-223 may be a potential target in the treatment of MI in the future.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Oxidative stress represents the common hallmark of pathological conditions associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), including atherosclerosis, heart failure, hypertension, aging, diabetes, and other vascular system-related diseases. The sirtuin (SIRT) family, comprising seven proteins (SIRT1-SIRT7) sharing a highly conserved nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-binding catalytic domain, attracted a great attention for the past few years as stress adaptor and epigenetic enzymes involved in the cellular events controlling aging-related disorder, cancer, and CVD. Recent Advances: Among sirtuins, SIRT1 and SIRT6 are the best characterized for their protective roles against inflammation, vascular aging, heart disease, and atherosclerotic plaque development. This latest role has been only recently unveiled for SIRT6. Of interest, in recent years, complex signaling networks controlled by SIRT1 and SIRT6 common to stress resistance, vascular aging, and CVD have emerged. CRITICAL ISSUES We provide a comprehensive overview of recent developments on the molecular signaling pathways controlled by SIRT1 and SIRT6, two post-translational modifiers proven to be valuable tools to dampen inflammation and oxidative stress at the cardiovascular level. FUTURE DIRECTIONS A deeper understanding of the epigenetic mechanisms through which SIRT1 and SIRT6 act in the signalings responsible for onset and development CVD is a prime scientific endeavor of the upcoming years. Multiple "omic" technologies will have widespread implications in understanding such mechanisms, speeding up the achievement of selective and efficient pharmacological modulation of sirtuins for future applications in the prevention and treatment of CVD.

Abstract
Background: Yiqifumai Injection (YQFM) is clinically used to treat various cardiovascular diseases including chronic heart failure (CHF). The efficacy of YQFM for treating heart failure has been suggested, but the mechanism of action for pharmacological effects of YQFM is unclear. Methods: Echocardiography detection, left ventricular intubation evaluation, histopathology and immunohistochemical examination were performed in CHF rats to evaluate the cardioprotective effect of YQFM. Rat miRNA microarray and bioinformatics analysis were employed to investigate the differentially expressed microRNAs. In vitro models of AngII-induced hypertrophy and t-BHP induced oxidative stress in H9c2 myocardial cells were used to validate the anti-hypertrophy and anti-apoptosis effects of YQFM. Measurement of cell surface area, ATP content and cell viability, Real-time PCR and Western blot were performed. Results: YQFM significantly improved the cardiac function of CHF rats by increasing left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening, decreasing left ventricular internal diameter and enhancing cardiac output. Seven microRNAs which have a reversible regulation by YQFM treatment were found. Among them, miR-21-3p and miR-542-3p are related to myocardial hypertrophy and cell proliferation, respectively and were further verified by RT-PCR. Target gene network was established and potential related signaling pathways were predicted. YQFM could significantly alleviate AngII induced hypertrophy in cellular model. It also significantly increased cell viabilities and ATP content in t-BHP induced apoptotic cell model. Western blot analysis showed that YQFM could increase the phosphorylation of Akt. Conclusion: Our findings provided scientific evidence to uncover the mechanism of action of YQFM on miRNAs regulation against CHF by miRNA expression profile technology. The results indicated that YQFM has a potential effect on alleviate cardiac hypertrophy and apoptosis in chronic heart failure.

Abstract
The Forkhead box-containing protein, O subfamily 3 (FoxO3) transcription factor negatively regulates myocardial hypertrophy, and its transcriptional activity is finely conditioned by diverse posttranslational modifications, such as phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, methylation and glycosylation. Here, we introduce a novel modification of the FoxO3 protein in cardiomyocytes: poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation) mediated by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1). This process catalyzes the NAD+-dependent synthesis of polymers of ADP-ribose (PAR) and their subsequent attachment to target proteins by PARPs. Primary-cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were incubated with isoproterenol (ISO) to induce hypertrophy, or were infected with recombinant adenovirus vectors harboring PARP1 cDNA (Ad-PARP1). Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were treated with ISO to induce cardiac hypertrophy, or were injected with Ad-PARP1 into the anterior and posterior left ventricular walls. Cardiomyocyte surface area, the mRNA expression of hypertrophic biomarkers, echocardiography, morphometry of the hearts were measured. The PARP1 activity was tested by cellular PAR levels. Interactions of PARP1 and FoxO3 were investigated by co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence technique. PARylation of FoxO3 mediated by PARP1 facilitated its phosphorylation at the T32, S252 and S314 sites, triggered its nucleus export and suppressed its transcriptional activity and target genes expression, ultimately inducing cardiac hypertrophy. Additionally, PARP1 silencing or specific inhibition by 3-Aminobenzamide (3AB) and veliparib (ABT-888) alleviated the inhibition of FoxO3 activity by ISO, thus suppressing ISO-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Our data provide the first evidence that PARP1 exacerbates cardiac hypertrophy by PARylation of FoxO3.

Abstract
Phosphodiesterase-9A (PDE9A) expression is upregulated during cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. Accumulating evidence suggests that PDE9A might be a promising therapeutic target for heart diseases. The present study sought to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of C33(S), a novel selective PDE9A inhibitor, on cardiac hypertrophy in vitro and in vivo. Treatment of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) with PE (100 μmol/L) or ISO (1 μmol/L) induced cardiac hypertrophy characterized by significantly increased cell surface areas and increased expression of fetal genes (ANF and BNP). Furthermore, PE or ISO significantly increased the expression of PDE9A in the cells; whereas knockdown of PDE9A significantly alleviated PE-induced hypertrophic responses. Moreover, pretreatment with PDE9A inhibitor C33(S) (50 and 500 nmol/L) or PF-7943 (2 μmol/L) also alleviated the cardiac hypertrophic responses in PE-treated NRCMs. Abdominal aortic constriction (AAC)-induced cardiac hypertrophy and ISO-induced heart failure were established in SD rats. In ISO-treated rats, oral administration of C33(S) (9, 3, and 1 mg·kg-1·d-1, for 3 consecutive weeks) significantly increased fractional shortening (43.55%±3.98%, 54.79%±1.95%, 43.98%±7.96% vs 32.18%±6.28%), ejection fraction (72.97%±4.64%, 84.29%±1.56%, 73.41%±9.37% vs 49.17%±4.20%) and cardiac output (60.01±9.11, 69.40±11.63, 58.08±8.47 mL/min vs 48.97±2.11 mL/min) but decreased the left ventricular internal diameter, suggesting that the transition to heart failure was postponed by C33(S). We further revealed that C33(S) significantly elevated intracellular cGMP levels, phosphorylation of phospholamban (PLB) and expression of SERCA2a in PE-treated NRCMs in vitro and in ISO-induced heart failure model in vivo. Our results demonstrate that C33(S) effectively protects against cardiac hypertrophy and postpones the transition to heart failure, suggesting that it is a promising agent in the treatment of cardiac diseases.

Synthesis of the novel PARP-1 inhibitor AG-690/11026014 and its protective effects on angiotensin II-induced mouse cardiac remodeling. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2017; 38:638-650. [PMID: 28239158 DOI: 10.1038/aps.2016.159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2016] [Accepted: 11/24/2016] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
We previously identified AG-690/11026014 (6014) as a novel poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) inhibitor that effectively prevented angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. In the present study, we reported a new synthesis route for 6014, and investigated its protective effects on Ang II-induced cardiac remodeling and cardiac dysfunction and the underlying mechanisms in mice. We designed a new synthesis route to obtain a sufficient quantity of 6014 for this in vivo study. C57BL/6J mice were infused with Ang II and treated with 6014 (10, 30, 90 mg·kg-1·d-1, ig) for 4 weeks. Then two-dimensional echocardiography was performed to assess the cardiac function and structure. Histological changes of the hearts were examined with HE staining and Masson's trichrome staining. The protein expression was evaluated by Western blot, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence assays. The activities of sirtuin-1 (SIRT-1) and the content of NAD+ were detected with the corresponding test kits. Treatment with 6014 dose-dependently improved cardiac function, including LVEF, CO and SV and reversed the changes of cardiac structure in Ang II-infused mice: it significantly ameliorated Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy evidenced by attenuating the enlargement of cardiomyocytes, decreased HW/BW and LVW/BW, and decreased expression of hypertrophic markers ANF, BNP and β-MHC; it also prevented Ang II-induced cardiac fibrosis, as implied by the decrease in excess accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components collagen I, collagen III and FN. Further studies revealed that treatment with 6014 did not affect the expression levels of PARP-1, but dose-dependently inhibited the activity of PARP-1 and subsequently restored the activity of SIRT-1 in heart tissues due to the decreased consumption of NAD+ and attenuated Poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) of SIRT-1. In conclusion, the novel PARP-1 inhibitor 6014 effectively protects mice against AngII-induced cardiac remodeling and improves cardiac function. Thus, 6014 might be a potential therapeutic agent for heart diseases..

Multiple pathways of SIRT6 at the crossroads in the control of longevity, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Ageing Res Rev 2017; 35:301-311.

Abstract
Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is a member of the sirtuin family NAD+-dependent deacetylases with multiple roles in controlling organism homeostasis, lifespan, and diseases. Due to its complex and opposite functional roles, this sirtuin is considered a two-edged sword in health and disease. Indeed, SIRT6 improves longevity, similarly to the founding yeast member, silent information regulator-2 (Sir2), and modulates genome stability, telomere integrity, transcription, and DNA repair. Its deficiency is associated with chronic inflammation, diabetes, cardiac hypertrophy, obesity, liver dysfunction, muscle/adipocyte disorders, and cancer. Besides, pieces of evidence showed that SIRT6 is a promoter of specific oncogenic pathways, thus disclosing its dual role regarding cancer development. Collectively, these findings suggest that multiple mechanisms, to date not entirely known, underlie the intriguing roles of SIRT6. Here we provide an overview of the current molecular mechanisms through which SIRT6 controls cancer and heart diseases, and describe its recent implications in the atherosclerotic plaque development.

Abstract
Cardiac fibroblasts (CF) not only modulate extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins homeostasis, but also respond to chemical and mechanical signals. CF express a variety of receptors through which they modulate the proliferation/cell death, autophagy, adhesion, migration, turnover of ECM, expression of cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and differentiation into cardiac myofibroblasts (CMF). Differentiation of CF to CMF involves changes in the expression levels of various receptors, as well as, changes in cell phenotype and their associated functions. CF and CMF express the β2-adrenergic receptor, and its stimulation activates PKA and EPAC proteins, which differentially modulate the CF and CMF functions mentioned above. CF and CMF also express different levels of Angiotensin II receptors, in particular, AT1R activation increases collagen synthesis and cell proliferation, but its overexpression activates apoptosis. CF and CMF express different levels of B1 and B2 kinin receptors, whose stimulation by their respective agonists activates common signaling transduction pathways that decrease the synthesis and secretion of collagen through nitric oxide and prostacyclin I2 secretion. Besides these classical functions, CF can also participate in the inflammatory response of cardiac repair, through the expression of receptors commonly associated to immune cells such as Toll like receptor 4, NLRP3 and interferon receptor. The activation by their respective agonists modulates the cellular functions already described and the release of cytokines and chemokines. Thus, CF and CMF act as sentinel cells responding to a plethora of stimulus, modifying their own behavior, and that of neighboring cells.

Pak J Med Sci 2015; 31:82-6. [PMID: 25878619 PMCID: PMC4386162 DOI: 10.12669/pjms.311.6302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2014] [Revised: 09/18/2014] [Accepted: 10/03/2014] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the effects of glutamine and valsartan on the brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). METHODS A total of 140 CHF patients were divided into a treatment group and a control group by random drawing, and were subjected to standard anti-heart failure treatment and administered with valsartan. Besides, the treatment group was also intravenously transfused glutamine. The treatment lasted eight weeks. RESULTS The overall efficacy of treatment group and control group were 98.6% and 90.0% respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The two groups had significantly increased left ventricular ejection fractions as well as significantly decreased left ventricular end-diastolic volumes and left ventricular end-diastolic dimensions after treatments (P<0.05) compared with those before. There were also inter-group differences between these values (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of BNP, NT-proBNP and CD8(+) in both groups significantly decreased (P<0.05), whereas those of CD4(+) significantly increased (P<0.05). The two groups also had significantly different values (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Glutamine in combination with valsartan enhanced the therapeutic effects by improving cardiac function, which may be associated with decreased expressions of BNP and NT-proBNP and beneficial effects of glutamine on immune function.

Br J Pharmacol 2015; 172:2852-63. [PMID: 25625556 DOI: 10.1111/bph.13091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2014] [Revised: 11/29/2014] [Accepted: 01/16/2015] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The orphan nuclear receptor NOR1 belongs to the NR4A subfamily of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily, and is involved in glucose and fat metabolism. However, its potential contribution to cardiovascular diseases remains to be assessed. Here, the roles of NOR1 in cardiac hypertrophy induced by isoprenaline and the underlying molecular mechanisms were investigated. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH NOR1 was expressed in cardiomyocytes treated with isoprenaline. After NOR1 overexpression or knockdown in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, cellular hypertrophy was monitored by measuring cell surface area and the mRNA of hypertrophic biomarkers. Interactions between NOR1 and PARP-1 were investigated by co-immunoprecipitation. NOR1 expression and PARP-1 activity were measured in rats with cardiac hypertrophy induced by isoprenaline. KEY RESULTS Treatment with isoprenaline significantly up-regulated NOR1 expression and PARP-1 activity both in vivo and in vitro. Specific gene silencing of NOR1 attenuated isoprenaline-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, whereas NOR1 overexpression exacerbated cardiac hypertrophy. We identified a physical interaction between NOR1 and PARP-1, which was enhanced by NOR1 transfection and thereby led to PARP-1 activation. Overexpression of NOR1, but not C293Y, a NOR1 mutant lacking the PARP-1 binding activity, increased cellular surface area and the mRNA levels of atrial natriuretic factor and brain natriuretic polypeptide, effects blocked by the PARP-1 inhibitor 3-aminobenzamide or siRNA for PARP-1. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS This is the first evidence that NOR1 was involved in isoprenaline-induced cardiac hypertrophy. The pro-hypertrophic effect of NOR1 can be partly attributed to its regulation of PARP-1 enzymic activity.
