Abstract
The heart utilizes glucose and its metabolites as both energy sources and building blocks for cardiac growth and survival under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions. YAP/TAZ, transcriptional co-activators of the Hippo pathway, are key regulators of cell proliferation, survival, and metabolism in many cell types. Increasing lines of evidence suggest that the Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of both physiological and pathophysiological processes in the heart. In particular, YAP/TAZ play a critical role in mediating aerobic glycolysis, the Warburg effect, in cardiomyocytes. Here, we summarize what is currently known about YAP/TAZ signaling in the heart by focusing on the regulation of glucose metabolism and its functional significance.

Methylomic, Proteomic, and Metabolomic Correlates of Traffic-Related Air Pollution in the Context of Cardiorespiratory Health: A Systematic Review, Pathway Analysis, and Network Analysis. TOXICS 2023; 11:1014. [PMID: 38133415 PMCID: PMC10748071 DOI: 10.3390/toxics11121014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
A growing body of literature has attempted to characterize how traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) affects molecular and subclinical biological processes in ways that could lead to cardiorespiratory disease. To provide a streamlined synthesis of what is known about the multiple mechanisms through which TRAP could lead to cardiorespiratory pathology, we conducted a systematic review of the epidemiological literature relating TRAP exposure to methylomic, proteomic, and metabolomic biomarkers in adult populations. Using the 139 papers that met our inclusion criteria, we identified the omic biomarkers significantly associated with short- or long-term TRAP and used these biomarkers to conduct pathway and network analyses. We considered the evidence for TRAP-related associations with biological pathways involving lipid metabolism, cellular energy production, amino acid metabolism, inflammation and immunity, coagulation, endothelial function, and oxidative stress. Our analysis suggests that an integrated multi-omics approach may provide critical new insights into the ways TRAP could lead to adverse clinical outcomes. We advocate for efforts to build a more unified approach for characterizing the dynamic and complex biological processes linking TRAP exposure and subclinical and clinical disease and highlight contemporary challenges and opportunities associated with such efforts.

Altered Peripheral Blood Gene Expression in Childhood Cancer Survivors With Anthracycline-Induced Cardiomyopathy - A COG-ALTE03N1 Report. J Am Heart Assoc 2023; 12:e029954.

Abstract
Background Anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy is a leading cause of premature death in childhood cancer survivors, presenting a need to understand the underlying pathogenesis. We sought to examine differential blood-based mRNA expression profiles in anthracycline-exposed childhood cancer survivors with and without cardiomyopathy. Methods and Results We designed a matched case-control study (Children's Oncology Group-ALTE03N1) with mRNA sequencing on total RNA from peripheral blood in 40 anthracycline-exposed survivors with cardiomyopathy (cases) and 64 matched survivors without (controls). DESeq2 identified differentially expressed genes. Ingenuity Pathway Analyses (IPA) and Gene Set Enrichment Analyses determined the potential roles of altered genes in biological pathways. Functional validation was performed by gene knockout in human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes using CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9) technology. Median age at primary cancer diagnosis for cases and controls was 8.2 and 9.7 years, respectively. Thirty-six differentially expressed genes with fold change ≥±2 were identified; 35 were upregulated. IPA identified "hepatic fibrosis" and "iron homeostasis" pathways to be significantly modulated by differentially expressed genes, including toxicology functions of myocardial infarction, cardiac damage, and cardiac dilation. Leading edge analysis from Gene Set Enrichment Analyses identified lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) and cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) genes to be significantly upregulated in cases. Interleukin 1 receptor type 1, 2 (IL1R1, IL1R2), and matrix metalloproteinase 8, 9 (MMP8, MMP9) appeared in multiple canonical pathways. LDHA-knockout human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes showed increased sensitivity to doxorubicin. Conclusions We identified differential mRNA expression profiles in peripheral blood of anthracycline-exposed childhood cancer survivors with and without cardiomyopathy. Upregulation of LDHA and CD36 genes suggests metabolic perturbations in a failing heart. Dysregulation of proinflammatory cytokine receptors IL1R1 and IL1R2 and matrix metalloproteinases, MMP8 and MMP9 indicates structural remodeling that accompanies the clinical manifestation of symptomatic cardiotoxicity.

A New Hypothetical Concept in Metabolic Understanding of Cardiac Fibrosis: Glycolysis Combined with TGF-β and KLF5 Signaling. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23084302. [PMID: 35457114 PMCID: PMC9027193 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23084302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 04/10/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The accumulation of fibrosis in cardiac tissues is one of the leading causes of heart failure. The principal cellular effectors in cardiac fibrosis are activated fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, which serve as the primary source of matrix proteins. TGF-β signaling pathways play a prominent role in cardiac fibrosis. The control of TGF-β by KLF5 in cardiac fibrosis has been demonstrated for modulating cardiovascular remodeling. Since the expression of KLF5 is reduced, the accumulation of fibrosis diminishes. Because the molecular mechanism of fibrosis is still being explored, there are currently few options for effectively reducing or reversing it. Studying metabolic alterations is considered an essential process that supports the explanation of fibrosis in a variety of organs and especially the glycolysis alteration in the heart. However, the interplay among the main factors involved in fibrosis pathogenesis, namely TGF-β, KLF5, and the metabolic process in glycolysis, is still indistinct. In this review, we explain what we know about cardiac fibroblasts and how they could help with heart repair. Moreover, we hypothesize and summarize the knowledge trend on the molecular mechanism of TGF-β, KLF5, the role of the glycolysis pathway in fibrosis, and present the future therapy of cardiac fibrosis. These studies may target therapies that could become important strategies for fibrosis reduction in the future.
