Abstract
AIMS A mechanistic link between depression and risk of arrhythmias could be attributed to altered catecholamine metabolism in the heart. Monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A), a key enzyme involved in catecholamine metabolism and longstanding antidepressant target, is highly expressed in the myocardium. The present study aimed to elucidate the functional significance and underlying mechanisms of cardiac MAO-A in arrhythmogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS Analysis of the TriNetX database revealed that depressed patients treated with MAO inhibitors had a lower risk of arrhythmias compared with those treated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. This effect was phenocopied in mice with cardiomyocyte-specific MAO-A deficiency (cMAO-Adef), which showed a significant reduction in both incidence and duration of catecholamine stress-induced ventricular tachycardia compared with wild-type mice. Additionally, cMAO-Adef cardiomyocytes exhibited altered Ca2+ handling under catecholamine stimulation, with increased diastolic Ca2+ reuptake, reduced diastolic Ca2+ leak, and diminished systolic Ca2+ release. Mechanistically, cMAO-Adef hearts had reduced catecholamine levels under sympathetic stress, along with reduced levels of reactive oxygen species and protein carbonylation, leading to decreased oxidation of Type II PKA and CaMKII. These changes potentiated phospholamban (PLB) phosphorylation, thereby enhancing diastolic Ca2+ reuptake, while reducing ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) phosphorylation to decrease diastolic Ca2+ leak. Consequently, cMAO-Adef hearts exhibited lower diastolic Ca2+ levels and fewer arrhythmogenic Ca2+ waves during sympathetic overstimulation. CONCLUSION Cardiac MAO-A inhibition exerts an anti-arrhythmic effect by enhancing diastolic Ca2+ handling under catecholamine stress.

Abstract
Oral consumption of histidyl dipeptides such as l-carnosine has been suggested to promote cardiometabolic health, although therapeutic mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We recently reported that oral consumption of a carnosine analog suppressed markers of fibrosis in liver of obese mice, but whether antifibrotic effects of carnosine extend to the heart is not known, nor are the mechanisms by which carnosine is acting. Here, we investigated whether oral carnosine was able to mitigate the adverse cardiac remodeling associated with diet induced obesity in a mouse model of enhanced lipid peroxidation (i.e., glutathione peroxidase 4 deficient mice, GPx4+/-), a model which mimics many of the pathophysiological aspects of metabolic syndrome and T2 diabetes in humans. Wild-type (WT) and GPx4+/-male mice were randomly fed a standard (CNTL) or high fat high sucrose diet (HFHS) for 16 weeks. Seven weeks after starting the diet, a subset of the HFHS mice received carnosine (80 mM) in their drinking water for duration of the study. Carnosine treatment led to a moderate improvement in glycemic control in WT and GPx4+/-mice on HFHS diet, although insulin sensitivity was not significantly affected. Interestingly, while our transcriptomic analysis revealed that carnosine therapy had only modest impact on global gene expression in the heart, carnosine substantially upregulated cardiac GPx4 expression in both WT and GPx4+/-mice on HFHS diet. Carnosine also significantly reduced protein carbonyls and iron levels in myocardial tissue from both genotypes on HFHS diet. Importantly, we observed a robust antifibrotic effect of carnosine therapy in hearts from mice on HFHS diet, which further in vitro experiments suggest is due to carnosine's ability to suppress collagen-cross-linking. Collectively, this study reveals antifibrotic potential of carnosine in the heart with obesity and illustrates key mechanisms by which it may be acting.

Abstract
Diabetes leads to cardiomyopathy and heart failure, the leading cause of death for diabetic patients. Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibition in diabetic cardiomyopathy prevents oxidative stress, mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum stress and the development of diastolic dysfunction. However, it is unclear whether, in addition to the direct effects exerted on the mitochondria, MAO activity is able to post-transcriptionally regulate cardiomyocyte function and survival in diabetes. To this aim, we performed gene and miRNA expression profiling in cardiac tissue from streptozotocin-treated mice (model of type 1 diabetes (T1D)), administered with either vehicle or MAOs inhibitor pargyline for 12 weeks. We found that inhibition of MAO activity in T1D hearts leads to profound transcriptomic changes, affecting autophagy and pro-survival pathways activation. MAO activity in T1D hearts increased miR-133a-3p, -193a-3p and -27a-3p expression. These miRNAs target insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 (Igf1r), growth factor receptor bound protein 10 and inositol polyphosphate 4 phosphatase type 1A, respectively, all components of the IGF1R/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Indeed, AKT activation was significantly downregulated in T1D hearts, whereas MAO inhibition restored the activation of this pro-survival pathway. The present study provides an important link between MAO activity, transcriptomic changes and activation of pro-survival signaling and autophagy in diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Heterogeneity in the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) following heart surgery implies that underlying genetic and/or physiological factors impart a higher risk of this complication to certain patients. Glutathione peroxidase-4 (GPx4) is a vital selenoenzyme responsible for neutralizing lipid peroxides, mediators of oxidative stress known to contribute to postoperative arrhythmogenesis. Here, we sought to determine whether GPX4 single nucleotide variants are associated with POAF, and whether any of these variants are linked with altered GPX4 enzyme content or activity in myocardial tissue. Sequencing analysis was performed across the GPX4 coding region within chromosome 19 from a cohort of patients (N = 189) undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft (−/+ valve) surgery. GPx4 enzyme content and activity were also analyzed in matching samples of atrial myocardium from these patients. Incidence of POAF was 25% in this cohort. Five GPX4 variants were associated with POAF risk (permutated p ≤ 0.05), and eight variants associated with altered myocardial GPx4 content and activity (p < 0.05). One of these variants (rs713041) is a well-known modifier of cardiovascular disease risk. Collectively, these findings suggest GPX4 variants are potential risk modifiers and/or predictors of POAF. Moreover, they illustrate a genotype−phenotype link with this selenoenzyme, which will inform future mechanistic studies.

Abstract
Macromolecules damaged by covalent modifications produced by chemically reactive metabolites accumulate in the slowly renewable components of living bodies and compromise their functions. Among such metabolites, catecholamines (CA) are unique, compared with the ubiquitous oxygen, ROS, glucose and methylglyoxal, in that their high chemical reactivity is confined to a limited set of cell types, including the dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons and their direct targets, which suffer from CA propensities for autoxidation yielding toxic quinones, and for Pictet-Spengler reactions with carbonyl-containing compounds, which yield mitochondrial toxins. The functions progressively compromised because of that include motor performance, cognition, reward-driven behaviors, emotional tuning, and the neuroendocrine control of reproduction. The phenotypic manifestations of the resulting disorders culminate in such conditions as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, hypertension, sarcopenia, and menopause. The reasons to suspect that CA play some special role in aging accumulated since early 1970-ies. Published reviews address the role of CA hazardousness in the development of specific aging-associated diseases. The present integrative review explores how the bizarre discrepancy between CA hazardousness and biological importance could have emerged in evolution, how much does the chemical reactivity of CA contribute to the senescent phenotype in mammals, and what can be done with it.

Abstract

Monoamine oxidase
(MAO) is rapidly gaining appreciation for its
pathophysiologic role in cardiac injury and failure. Oxidative deamination
of norepinephrine by MAO generates H2O2 and
the catecholaldehyde 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde (DOPEGAL),
the latter of which is a highly potent and reactive electrophile that
has been linked to cardiotoxicity. However, many questions remain
as to whether catecholaldehydes regulate basic physiological processes
in the myocardium and the pathways involved. Here, we examined the
role of MAO-derived oxidative metabolites in mediating the activation
of cardiac fibroblasts in response to norepinephrine. In neonatal
murine cardiac fibroblasts, norepinephrine increased reactive oxygen
species (ROS), accumulation of catechol-modified protein adducts,
expression and secretion of collagens I/III, and other markers of
profibrotic activation including STAT3 phosphorylation. These effects
were attenuated with MAO inhibitors, the aldehyde-scavenging dipeptide l-carnosine, and FPS-ZM1, an antagonist for the receptor for
advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE). Interestingly, treatment of
cardiac fibroblasts with a low dose (1 μM) of DOPEGAL-modified
albumin phenocopied many of the effects of norepinephrine and also
induced an increase in RAGE expression. Higher doses (>10 μM)
of DOPEGAL-modified albumin were determined to be toxic to cardiac
fibroblasts in a RAGE-dependent manner, which was mitigated by l-carnosine. Collectively, these findings suggest that norepinephrine
may influence extracellular matrix remodeling via an adrenergic-independent
redox pathway in cardiac fibroblasts involving the MAO-mediated generation
of ROS, catecholaldehydes, and RAGE. Furthermore, since elevations
in the catecholaminergic tone and oxidative stress in heart disease
are linked with cardiac fibrosis, this study illustrates novel drug
targets that could potentially mitigate this serious disorder.

Abstract

Monoamine oxidase
(MAO) catalyzes the oxidative deamination of
dopamine and norepinephrine to produce 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde
(DOPAL) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde (DOPEGAL), respectively.
Both of these aldehydes are potently cytotoxic and have been implicated
in pathogenesis of neurodegenerative and cardiometabolic disorders.
Previous work has demonstrated that both the catechol and aldehyde
moieties of DOPAL are reactive and cytotoxic via their propensity
to cause macromolecular cross-linking. With certain amines, DOPAL
likely reacts via a Schiff base before oxidative activation of the
catechol and rearrangement to a stable indole product. Our current
work expands on this reactivity and includes the less-studied DOPEGAL.
Although we confirmed that antioxidants mediated DOPAL’s reactivity
with carnosine and N-acetyl-l-lysine, antioxidants
had no effect on reactivity with l-cysteine. Therefore, we
propose a non-oxidative mechanism where, following Schiff base formation,
the thiol of l-cysteine reacts to form a thiazolidine. Similarly,
we demonstrate that DOPEGAL forms a putative thiazolidine conjugate
with l-cysteine. We identified and characterized both l-cysteine conjugates via HPLC-MS and additionally identified
a DOPEGAL adduct with carnosine, which is likely an Amadori product.
Furthermore, we were able to demonstrate that these conjugates are
produced in biological systems via MAO after treatment of the cell
lysate with norepinephrine or dopamine along with the corresponding
nucleophiles (i.e., l-cysteine and carnosine). As it has
been established that metabolic and oxidative stress leads to increased
MAO activity and accumulation of DOPAL and DOPEGAL, it is conceivable
that conjugation of these aldehydes to carnosine or l-cysteine
is a newly identified detoxification pathway. Furthermore, the ability
to characterize these adducts via analytical techniques reveals their
potential for use as biomarkers of dopamine or norepinephrine metabolic
disruption.

Abstract
Perturbations in myocardial energy substrate metabolism are key contributors to the pathogenesis of heart diseases. However, the underlying causes of these metabolic alterations remain poorly understood. Recently, post-translational acetylation-mediated modification of metabolic enzymes has emerged as one of the important regulatory mechanisms for these metabolic changes. Nevertheless, despite the growing reports of a large number of acetylated cardiac mitochondrial proteins involved in energy metabolism, the functional consequences of these acetylation changes and how they correlate to metabolic alterations and myocardial dysfunction are not clearly defined. This review summarizes the evidence for a role of cardiac mitochondrial protein acetylation in altering the function of major metabolic enzymes and myocardial energy metabolism in various cardiovascular disease conditions.

Abstract
Population aging is one of the most significant social changes of the twenty-first century. This increase in longevity is associated with a higher prevalence of chronic diseases, further rising healthcare costs. At the molecular level, cellular senescence has been identified as a major process in age-associated diseases, as accumulation of senescent cells with aging leads to progressive organ dysfunction. Of particular importance, mitochondrial oxidative stress and consequent organelle alterations have been pointed out as key players in the aging process, by both inducing and maintaining cellular senescence. Monoamine oxidases (MAOs), a class of enzymes that catalyze the degradation of catecholamines and biogenic amines, have been increasingly recognized as major producers of mitochondrial ROS. Although well-known in the brain, evidence showing that MAOs are also expressed in a variety of peripheral organs stimulated a growing interest in the extra-cerebral roles of these enzymes. Besides, the fact that MAO-A and/or MAO-B are frequently upregulated in aged or dysfunctional organs has uncovered new perspectives on their roles in pathological aging. In this review, we will give an overview of the major results on the regulation and function of MAOs in aging and age-related diseases, paying a special attention to the mechanisms linked to the increased degradation of MAO substrates or related to MAO-dependent ROS formation.
