ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Salusins, which are translated from the alternatively spliced mRNA of torsin family 2 member A (TOR2A), play a vital role in regulation of various cardiovascular diseases. However, it remains unclear precisely regarding their roles in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Therefore, this study was conducted to explore therapeutic effect and the underlying mechanisms of salusins on HCM. MATERIAL AND

METHODS:

In vivo experiments, Sprague-Dawley rats were used to induce HCM model by angiotensin (Ang) II infusion for 4 weeks. The rats were randomly divided into four groups, namely, Saline + Control shRNA (n = 7), Ang II + Control shRNA (n = 8), Saline + TOR2A shRNA (n = 7), and Ang II + TOR2A shRNA groups (n = 8). After HCM induction, doppler echocardiography is recommended to evaluate heart function. In vitro experiments, primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) and cardiac fibroblasts (NRCFs) were obtained from newborn rats, and were treated with Ang II (10-6 M) for 24 h.

RESULTS:

After treatment with Ang II, levels of salusin-α and salusin-ß were elevated in serum and cardiac tissues of rats and in the neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts. Downregulation of salusins alleviated the Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy by suppressing the increased atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and beta-myosin heavy chain (ß-MHC) and cardiac fibrosis by blocking collagen I, collagen III and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-ß), and it also attenuated oxidative stress by suppressing the increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and reversing the decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and autophagy by inhibiting the increased microtubule-associated protein light chain 3B (LC3B), Beclin1, autophagy related gene (Atg) 3 and Atg5 in the cardiac tissues of Ang II-infused rats and in the Ang II-treated NRCMs.

CONCLUSIONS:

All these findings suggest that the levels of salusins were elevated in the HCM, and targeting of salusins contributes to alleviation of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis probably via attenuating oxidative stress and autophagy. Accordingly, targeting of salusins may be a strategy for HCM therapy.
