Abstract
Although there have been significant advances in the treatment of heart failure in recent years, chronic heart failure remains a leading cause of cardiovascular disease-related death. Many studies have found that targeted cardiac metabolic remodeling has good potential for the treatment of heart failure. However, most of the drugs that increase cardiac energy are still in the theoretical or testing stage. Some research has found that botanical drugs not only increase myocardial energy metabolism through multiple targets but also have the potential to restore the balance of myocardial substrate metabolism. In this review, we summarized the mechanisms by which botanical drugs (the active ingredients/formulas/Chinese patent medicines) improve substrate utilization and promote myocardial energy metabolism by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and other related targets. At the same time, some potential protective effects of botanical drugs on myocardium, such as alleviating oxidative stress and dysbiosis signaling, caused by metabolic disorders, were briefly discussed.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is recognized as an epidemic in the contemporary world, impacting around 1%-2% of the adult population and affecting around 6 million Americans. HF remains a major cause of mortality, morbidity, and poor quality of life. Several therapies are used to treat HF and improve the survival of patients; however, despite these substantial improvements in treating HF, the incidence of HF is increasing rapidly, posing a significant burden to human health. The total cost of care for HF is USD 69.8 billion in 2023, warranting a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in HF. Among the most serious manifestations associated with HF is arrhythmia due to the electrophysiological changes within the cardiomyocyte. Among these electrophysiological changes, disruptions in sodium and potassium currents' function and trafficking, as well as calcium handling, all of which impact arrhythmia in HF. The mechanisms responsible for the trafficking, anchoring, organization, and recycling of ion channels at the plasma membrane seem to be significant contributors to ion channels dysfunction in HF. Variants, microtubule alterations, or disturbances of anchoring proteins lead to ion channel trafficking defects and the alteration of the cardiomyocyte's electrophysiology. Understanding the mechanisms of ion channels trafficking could provide new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of HF. This review provides an overview of the recent advances in ion channel trafficking in HF.

Impact of stress on cardiac phenotypes in mice harboring an ankyrin-B disease variant. J Biol Chem 2023; 299:104818.

Abstract
Encoded by ANK2, ankyrin-B (AnkB) is a multifunctional adapter protein critical for the expression and targeting of key cardiac ion channels, transporters, cytoskeletal-associated proteins, and signaling molecules. Mice deficient for AnkB expression are neonatal lethal, and mice heterozygous for AnkB expression display cardiac structural and electrical phenotypes. Human ANK2 loss-of-function variants are associated with diverse cardiac manifestations; however, human clinical 'AnkB syndrome' displays incomplete penetrance. To date, animal models for human arrhythmias have generally been knock-out or transgenic overexpression models and thus the direct impact of ANK2 variants on cardiac structure and function in vivo is not clearly defined. Here, we directly tested the relationship of a single human ANK2 disease-associated variant with cardiac phenotypes utilizing a novel in vivo animal model. At baseline, young AnkBp.E1458G+/+ mice lacked significant structural or electrical abnormalities. However, aged AnkBp.E1458G+/+ mice displayed both electrical and structural phenotypes at baseline including bradycardia and aberrant heart rate variability, structural remodeling, and fibrosis. Young and old AnkBp.E1458G+/+ mice displayed ventricular arrhythmias following acute (adrenergic) stress. In addition, young AnkBp.E1458G+/+ mice displayed structural remodeling following chronic (transverse aortic constriction) stress. Finally, AnkBp.E1458G+/+ myocytes harbored alterations in expression and/or localization of key AnkB-associated partners, consistent with the underlying disease mechanism. In summary, our findings illustrate the critical role of AnkB in in vivo cardiac function as well as the impact of single AnkB loss-of-function variants in vivo. However, our findings illustrate the contribution and in fact necessity of secondary factors (aging, adrenergic challenge, pressure-overload) to phenotype penetrance and severity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a genetically heterogeneous cardiac disorder characterized by left ventricular dilation and contractile dysfunction. The substantial genetic heterogeneity evident in patients with DCM contributes to variable disease severity and complicates overall prognosis, which can be very poor.
AIM To identify pathogenic genes in DCM through pedigree analysis.
METHODS Our research team identified a patient with DCM in the clinic. Through investigation, we found that the family of this patient has a typical DCM pedigree. High-throughput sequencing technology, next-generation sequencing, was used to sequence the whole exomes of seven samples in the pedigree.
RESULTS A novel and potentially pathogenic gene mutation-ANK2p.F3067L-was discovered. The mutation was completely consistent with the clinical information for this DCM pedigree. Sanger sequencing was used to further verify the locus of the mutation in pedigree samples. These results were consistent with those of high-throughput sequencing.
CONCLUSIONS ANK2p.F3067L is considered a novel and potentially pathogenic gene mutation in DCM.

Abstract
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited cardiac disease characterized by fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium. Deleterious variants in desmosomal genes are the main cause of ACM and lead to common and gene-specific molecular alterations, which are not yet fully understood. This article presents the first systematic in vitro study describing gene and protein expression alterations in desmosomes, electrical conduction-related genes, and genes involved in fibrosis and adipogenesis. Moreover, molecular and functional alterations in calcium handling were also characterized. This study was performed d with HL1 cells with homozygous knockouts of three of the most frequently mutated desmosomal genes in ACM: PKP2, DSG2, and DSC2 (generated by CRISPR/Cas9). Moreover, knockout and N-truncated clones of DSP were also included. Our results showed functional alterations in calcium handling, a slower calcium re-uptake was observed in the absence of PKP2, DSG2, and DSC2, and the DSP knockout clone showed a more rapid re-uptake. We propose that the described functional alterations of the calcium handling genes may be explained by mRNA expression levels of ANK2, CASQ2, ATP2A2, RYR2, and PLN. In conclusion, the loss of desmosomal genes provokes alterations in calcium handling, potentially contributing to the development of arrhythmogenic events in ACM.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) ions are a key second messenger involved in the rhythmic excitation and contraction of cardiomyocytes throughout the heart. Proper function of Ca2+-handling proteins is required for healthy cardiac function, whereas disruption in any of these can cause cardiac arrhythmias. This comprehensive review provides a broad overview of the roles of Ca2+-handling proteins and their regulators in healthy cardiac function and the mechanisms by which mutations in these proteins contribute to inherited arrhythmias. Major Ca2+ channels and Ca2+-sensitive regulatory proteins involved in cardiac excitation-contraction coupling are discussed, with special emphasis on the function of the RyR2 macromolecular complex. Inherited arrhythmia disorders including catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, short QT syndrome, and arrhythmogenic right-ventricular cardiomyopathy are discussed with particular emphasis on subtypes caused by mutations in Ca2+-handling proteins.

Abstract
The ankyrin proteins (Ankyrin-R, Ankyrin-B, and Ankyrin-G) are a family of scaffolding, or membrane adaptor proteins necessary for the regulation and targeting of several types of ion channels and membrane transporters throughout the body. These include voltage-gated sodium, potassium, and calcium channels in the nervous system, heart, lungs, and muscle. At these sites, ankyrins recruit ion channels, and other membrane proteins, to specific subcellular domains, which are then stabilized through ankyrin's interaction with the submembranous spectrin-based cytoskeleton. Several recent studies have expanded our understanding of both ankyrin expression and their ion channel binding partners. This review provides an updated overview of ankyrin proteins and their known channel and transporter interactions. We further discuss several potential avenues of future research that would expand our understanding of these important organizational proteins.

Abstract
The RS1 gene on Xp 22.13 encodes retinoschisin which is known to directly interact with the retinal Na/K-ATPase at the photoreceptor inner segments. Pathologic mutations in RS1 cause X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS), a hereditary retinal dystrophy in young males. To further delineate the retinoschisin-Na/K-ATPase complex, co-immunoprecipitation was performed with porcine and murine retinal lysates targeting the ATP1A3 subunit. This identified the voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel subunits Kv2.1 and Kv8.2 as direct interaction partners of the retinal Na/K-ATPase. Colocalization of the individual components of the complex was demonstrated at the membrane of photoreceptor inner segments. We further show that retinoschisin-deficiency, a frequent consequence of molecular pathology in XLRS, causes mislocalization of the macromolecular complex during postnatal retinal development with a simultaneous reduction of Kv2.1 and Kv8.2 protein expression, while the level of retinal Na/K-ATPase expression remains unaffected. Patch-clamp analysis revealed no effect of retinoschisin-deficiency on Kv channel mediated potassium ion currents in vitro. Together, our data suggest that Kv2.1 and Kv8.2 together with retinoschisin and the retinal Na/K-ATPase are integral parts of a macromolecular complex at the photoreceptor inner segments. Defective compartmentalization of this complex due to retinoschisin-deficiency may be a crucial step in initial XLRS pathogenesis.

Abstract
Cytosolic Na + concentrations regulate cardiac excitation-contraction coupling and contractility. Inhibition of the Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) activity increases cardiac contractility by increasing cytosolic Ca2+ levels, as increased cytosolic Na+ levels are coupled to less Ca2+ extrusion and/or increased Ca2+ influx from the Na+/Ca2+-exchanger. NKA consists of one α subunit and one β subunit, with α1 and α2 being the main α isoforms in cardiomyocytes. Substantial evidence suggests that NKAα2 is the primary regulator of cardiac contractility despite being outnumbered by NKAα1 in cardiomyocytes. This review will mainly focus on differential regulation and subcellular localization of the NKAα1 and NKAα2 isoforms, and their relation to the proposed concept of subcellular gradients of Na+ in cardiomyocytes. We will also discuss the potential roles of NKAα2 in mediating cardiac hypertrophy and ventricular arrhythmias.

Abstract
Background Mutations in ATP1A2 gene encoding the Na,K‐ATPase α2 isoform are associated with familial hemiplegic migraine type 2. Migraine with aura is a known risk factor for heart disease. The Na,K‐ATPase is important for cardiac function, but its role for heart disease remains unknown. We hypothesized that ATP1A2 is a susceptibility gene for heart disease and aimed to assess the underlying disease mechanism. Methods and Results Mice heterozygous for the familial hemiplegic migraine type 2–associated G301R mutation in the Atp1a2 gene (α2+/G301R mice) and matching wild‐type controls were compared. Reduced expression of the Na,K‐ATPase α2 isoform and increased expression of the α1 isoform were observed in hearts from α2+/G301R mice (Western blot). Left ventricular dilation and reduced ejection fraction were shown in hearts from 8‐month‐old α2+/G301R mice (cardiac magnetic resonance imaging), and this was associated with reduced nocturnal blood pressure (radiotelemetry). Cardiac function and blood pressure of 3‐month‐old α2+/G301R mice were similar to wild‐type mice. Amplified Na,K‐ATPase–dependent Src kinase/Ras/Erk1/2 (p44/42 mitogen‐activated protein kinase) signaling was observed in hearts from 8‐month‐old α2+/G301R mice, and this was associated with mitochondrial uncoupling (respirometry), increased oxidative stress (malondialdehyde measurements), and a heart failure–associated metabolic shift (hyperpolarized magnetic resonance). Mitochondrial membrane potential (5,5´,6,6´‐tetrachloro‐1,1´,3,3´‐tetraethylbenzimidazolocarbocyanine iodide dye assay) and mitochondrial ultrastructure (transmission electron microscopy) were similar between the groups. Proteomics of heart tissue further suggested amplified Src/Ras/Erk1/2 signaling and increased oxidative stress and provided the molecular basis for systolic dysfunction in 8‐month‐old α2+/G301R mice. Conclusions Our findings suggest that ATP1A2 mutation leads to disturbed cardiac metabolism and reduced cardiac function mediated via Na,K‐ATPase–dependent reactive oxygen species signaling through the Src/Ras/Erk1/2 pathway.

Abstract
Ca2+ homeostasis is essential for cell function and survival. As such, the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration is tightly controlled by a wide number of specialized Ca2+ handling proteins. One among them is the Na+ -Ca2+ exchanger (NCX), a ubiquitous plasma membrane transporter that exploits the electrochemical gradient of Na+ to drive Ca2+ out of the cell, against its concentration gradient. In this critical role, this secondary transporter guides vital physiological processes such as Ca2+ homeostasis, muscle contraction, bone formation, and memory to name a few. Herein, we review the progress made in recent years about the structure of the mammalian NCX and how it relates to function. Particular emphasis will be given to the mammalian cardiac isoform, NCX1.1, due to the extensive studies conducted on this protein. Given the degree of conservation among the eukaryotic exchangers, the information highlighted herein will provide a foundation for our understanding of this transporter family. We will discuss gene structure, alternative splicing, topology, regulatory mechanisms, and NCX's functional role on cardiac physiology. Throughout this article, we will attempt to highlight important milestones in the field and controversial topics where future studies are required. © 2021 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Donkeys are an important domesticated animal, providing labor, meat, milk, and medicinal materials for humans. However, the donkey population is continuously declining and even at risk of extinction. The application of modern animal production technology, such as oocyte in vitro maturation, is a promising method to improve the donkey population. In this study, we explore the gene expression patterns of donkey germinal vesicle (GV) and in vitro matured metaphase II (MII) oocytes using single cell RNA-seq of the candidate genes along with the regulatory mechanisms that affect donkey oocyte maturation. We identified a total of 24,164 oocyte genes of which 9073 were significant differentially expressed in the GV and MII oocytes. Further Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis indicated that these genes were associated with the meiotic cell cycle, mitochondrion activity, and N-glycan biosynthesis, which might be the key genes and regulatory mechanisms affecting the maturation of donkey oocytes. Our study provides considerable understanding regarding the maturation of donkey oocytes and serves as a theoretical basis for improving the development of donkey oocytes, which could ultimately benefit the expansion of the donkey population and conservation of biodiversity and genetic resources.

Regulation of Cardiac Conduction and Arrhythmias by Ankyrin/Spectrin-Based Macromolecular Complexes. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2021; 8:jcdd8050048.

Abstract
The cardiac conduction system is an extended network of excitable tissue tasked with generation and propagation of electrical impulses to signal coordinated contraction of the heart. The fidelity of this system depends on the proper spatio-temporal regulation of ion channels in myocytes throughout the conduction system. Importantly, inherited or acquired defects in a wide class of ion channels has been linked to dysfunction at various stages of the conduction system resulting in life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia. There is growing appreciation of the role that adapter and cytoskeletal proteins play in organizing ion channel macromolecular complexes critical for proper function of the cardiac conduction system. In particular, members of the ankyrin and spectrin families have emerged as important nodes for normal expression and regulation of ion channels in myocytes throughout the conduction system. Human variants impacting ankyrin/spectrin function give rise to a broad constellation of cardiac arrhythmias. Furthermore, chronic neurohumoral and biomechanical stress promotes ankyrin/spectrin loss of function that likely contributes to conduction disturbances in the setting of acquired cardiac disease. Collectively, this review seeks to bring attention to the significance of these cytoskeletal players and emphasize the potential therapeutic role they represent in a myriad of cardiac disease states.

Integrative Proteomic and Metabolomic Analysis Reveals Metabolic Phenotype in Mice With Cardiac-Specific Deletion of Natriuretic Peptide Receptor A. Mol Cell Proteomics 2021; 20:100072. [PMID: 33812089 PMCID: PMC8131926 DOI: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2021.100072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2020] [Revised: 02/12/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are important biological markers and cardiac function regulators. Natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPRA) binds to an ANP or BNP ligand and induces transmembrane signal transduction by elevating the intracellular cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels. However, the metabolic phenotype and related mechanisms induced by NPRA deletion remain ambiguous. Here, we constructed myocardial-specific NPRA deletion mice and detected the heart functional and morphological characteristics by histological analysis and explored the altered metabolic pattern and the expression patterns of proteins by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based omics technology. NPRA deficiency unexpectedly did not result in significant cardiac remodeling or dysfunction. However, compared with the matched littermates, NPRA-deficient mice had significant metabolic differences. Metabolomic analysis showed that the metabolite levels varied in cardiac tissues and plasma. In total, 33 metabolites were identified in cardiac tissues and 54 were identified in plasma. Compared with control mice, NPRA-deficient mice had 20 upregulated and six downregulated metabolites in cardiac tissues and 25 upregulated and 23 downregulated metabolites in plasma. Together, NPRA deficiency resulted in increased nucleotide biosynthesis and histidine metabolism only in heart tissues and decreased creatine metabolism only in plasma. Further proteomic analysis identified 136 differentially abundant proteins in cardiac tissues, including 54 proteins with higher abundance and 82 proteins with lower abundance. Among them, cytochrome c oxidase subunit 7c and 7b (Cox7c, Cox7b), ATP synthase, H+ transporting, mitochondrial Fo complex subunit F2 (ATP5J2), ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase, complex III subunit X (Uqcr10), and myosin heavy chain 7 (Myh7) were mainly involved in related metabolic pathways. These results revealed the essential role of NPRA in metabolic profiles and may elucidate new underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of NPRA in cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
As a traditional wild vegetable and food raw material, the leaves of Eleutherococcus senticosus and Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus are rich in 3,4-seco-lupane triterpenes, including chiisanoside (CSS), divaroside (DVS), sessiloside-A (SSA), and chiisanogenin (CSG). This study was conducted to evaluate the anti-arrhythmic effects of these 3,4-seco-lupane triterpenes. Evaluation of the cytotoxicity of compounds was performed by measuring cell viability and apoptosis with the CCK-8 assay. In vivo, arrhythmia was induced by rapid injection of BaCl2 via rat caudal vein. The occurrence time and duration of arrhythmias in rats were studied. The levels of SOD and MDA in serum, and Na+ -K+ -ATPase and Ca2+ -Mg2+ -ATPase in myocardial homogenate were detected by ELISA. The histopathological changes of rats myocardial were observed by HE staining. Changes in the expression of PKA and related proteins were detected by Western blot. The 3,4-seco-lupane triterpenes interactions with protein kinase A were analyzed by molecular docking. In the present study, we found that 3,4-seco-lupane triterpenes exhibited powerful anti-arrhythmic activity, especially DVS completely relieved the ventricular arrhythmia induced by BaCl2 . This study suggests that the leaves of E. senticosus and E. sessiliflorus might be used as functional food materials to prevent arrhythmia, and DVS can potentially be further developed as an anti-arrhythmic drug.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex disease and affects millions of people around the world. The biological mechanisms that are involved with AF are complex and still need to be fully elucidated. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of transcriptome data related to AF to explore these mechanisms aiming at more sensitive and reliable results. METHODS Ten public transcriptomic datasets were downloaded, analyzed for quality control, and individually pre-processed. Differential expression analysis was carried out for each dataset, and the results were meta-analytically aggregated using the rth ordered p value method. We analyzed the final list of differentially expressed genes through network analysis, namely topological and modularity analysis, and functional enrichment analysis. RESULTS The meta-analysis of transcriptomes resulted in 1197 differentially expressed genes, whose protein-protein interaction network presented 39 hubs-bottlenecks and four main identified functional modules. These modules were enriched for 39, 20, 64, and 10 biological pathways involved with the pathophysiology of AF, especially with the disease's structural and electrical remodeling processes. The stress of the endoplasmic reticulum, protein catabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation are some of the enriched processes. Among hub-bottlenecks genes, which are highly connected and probably have a key role in regulating these processes, HSPA5, ANK2, CTNNB1, and MAPK1 were identified. CONCLUSION Our approach based on transcriptome meta-analysis revealed a set of key genes that demonstrated consistent overall changes in expression patterns associated with AF despite data heterogeneity related, among others, to type of tissue. Further experimental investigation of our findings may shed light on the pathophysiology of the disease and contribute to the identification of new therapeutic targets.

Mechanisms and Alterations of Cardiac Ion Channels Leading to Disease: Role of Ankyrin-B in Cardiac Function. Biomolecules 2020; 10:biom10020211.

Abstract
Ankyrin-B (encoded by ANK2), originally identified as a key cytoskeletal-associated protein in the brain, is highly expressed in the heart and plays critical roles in cardiac physiology and cell biology. In the heart, ankyrin-B plays key roles in the targeting and localization of key ion channels and transporters, structural proteins, and signaling molecules. The role of ankyrin-B in normal cardiac function is illustrated in animal models lacking ankyrin-B expression, which display significant electrical and structural phenotypes and life-threatening arrhythmias. Further, ankyrin-B dysfunction has been associated with cardiac phenotypes in humans (now referred to as “ankyrin-B syndrome”) including sinus node dysfunction, heart rate variability, atrial fibrillation, conduction block, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, structural remodeling, and sudden cardiac death. Here, we review the diverse roles of ankyrin-B in the vertebrate heart with a significant focus on ankyrin-B-linked cell- and molecular-pathways and disease.
