Regulation of Na+-K+-ATPase leads to disturbances of isoproterenol-induced cardiac dysfunction via interference of Ca2+-dependent cardiac metabolism. Clin Sci (Lond) 2024; 138:23-42. [PMID: 38060817 DOI: 10.1042/cs20231039] [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: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
Reductions in Na+-K+-ATPase (NKA) activity and expression are often observed in the progress of various reason-induced heart failure (HF). However, NKA α1 mutation or knockdown cannot cause spontaneous heart disease. Whether the abnormal NKA α1 directly contributes to HF pathogenesis remains unknown. Here, we challenge NKA α1+/- mice with isoproterenol to evaluate the role of NKA α1 haploinsufficiency in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced cardiac dysfunction. Genetic knockdown of NKA α1 accelerated ISO-induced cardiac cell hypertrophy, heart fibrosis, and dysfunction. Further studies revealed decreased Krebs cycle, fatty acid oxidation, and mitochondrial OXPHOS in the hearts of NKA α1+/- mice challenged with ISO. In ISO-treated conditions, inhibition of NKA elevated cytosolic Na+, further reduced mitochondrial Ca2+ via mNCE, and then finally down-regulated cardiac cell energy metabolism. In addition, a supplement of DRm217 alleviated ISO-induced heart dysfunction, mitigated cardiac remodeling, and improved cytosolic Na+ and Ca2+ elevation and mitochondrial Ca2+ depression in the NKA α1+/- mouse model. The findings suggest that targeting NKA and mitochondria Ca2+ could be a promising strategy in the treatment of heart disease.

Abstract
Metabolic acidosis (MA) is a highly prevalent disorder in a significant proportion of the population, resulting from imbalance in blood pH homeostasis. The heart, being an organ with very low regenerative capacity and high metabolic activity, is vulnerable to chronic, although low-grade, MA. To systematically characterize the effect of low-grade MA on the heart, we treated male and female mice with NH4Cl supplementation for 2 weeks and analyzed their blood chemistry and transcriptomic signature of the heart tissue. The reduction of pH and plasma bicarbonate levels without an associated change in anion gap indicated a physiological manifestation of low-grade MA with minimal respiratory compensation. On transcriptomic analysis, we observed changes in cardiac-specific genes with significant gender-based differences due to MA. We found many genes contributing to dilated cardiomyopathy to be altered in males, more than in females, while cardiac contractility and Na/K/ATPase-Src signaling were affected in the opposite way. Our model presents a systems-level understanding of how the cardiovascular tissue is affected by MA. As low-grade MA is a common ailment with many dietary and pharmaceutical interventions, our work presents avenues to limit chronic cardiac damage and disease manifestation, as well as highlighting the sex differences in MA-induced cardiovascular damage.
