RESUMO

Cardiac fibroblasts (CF) are key cells for maintaining extracellular matrix (ECM) protein homeostasis in the heart, and for cardiac repair through CF-to-cardiac myofibroblast (CMF) differentiation. Additionally, CF play an important role in the inflammatory process after cardiac injury, and they express Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4), B1 and B2 bradykinin receptors (B1R and B2R) which are important in the inflammatory response. B1R and B2R are induced by proinflammatory cytokines and their activation by bradykinin (BK: B2R agonist) or des-arg-kallidin (DAKD: B1R agonist), induces NO and PGI2 production which is key for reducing collagen I levels. However, whether TLR4 activation regulates bradykinin receptor expression remains unknown. CF were isolated from human, neonatal rat and adult mouse heart. B1R mRNA expression was evaluated by qRT-PCR, whereas B1R, collagen, COX-2 and iNOS protein levels were evaluated by Western Blot. NO and PGI2 were evaluated by commercial kits. We report here that in CF, TLR4 activation increased B1R mRNA and protein levels, as well as COX-2 and iNOS levels. B1R mRNA levels were also induced by interleukin-1α via its cognate receptor IL-1R1. In LPS-pretreated CF the DAKD treatment induced higher responses with respect to those observed in non LPS-pretreated CF, increasing PGI2 secretion and NO production; and reducing collagen I protein levels in CF. In conclusion, no significant response to DAKD was observed (due to very low expression of B1R in CF) - but pre-activation of TLR4 in CF, conditions that significantly enhanced B1R expression, led to an additional response of DAKD.

RESUMO

Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) undergo senescence in reaction to different stressors, leading to a poor prognosis of cardiac disease. Doxorubicin (Doxo) is an antineoplastic drug with strong cardiotoxic effects, which induces IL-1ß secretion and thus, triggers a potent pro-inflammatory response. Doxo induces CFs senescence; however, the mechanisms are not fully understood. Different pharmacological strategies have been used to eliminate senescent cells by inducing their apoptosis or modifying their secretome. However, Resolvin E1 (RvE1), a lipid derivative resolutive mediator with potent anti-inflammatory effects has not been used before to prevent CFs senescence. CFs were isolated from adult male C57BL/6J mice and subsequently stimulated with Doxo, in the presence or absence of RvE1. Senescence-associated ß-galactosidase activity (SA-ß-gal), γ-H2A.X, p53, p21, and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) were evaluated. The involvement of the NLRP3 inflammasome/interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) signaling pathway on CFs senescence was studied using an NLRP3 inhibitor (MCC950) and an endogenous IL-1R antagonist (IR1A). Doxo is able to trigger CFs senescence, as evidenced by an increase of γ-H2A.X, p53, p21, and SA-ß-gal, and changes in the SASP profile. These Doxo effects were prevented by RvE1. Doxo triggers IL-1ß secretion, which was dependent on NLRP3 activation. Doxo-induced CFs senescence was partially blocked by MCC950 and IR1A. In addition, IL-1ß also triggered CFs senescence, as evidenced by the increase of γ-H2A.X, p53, p21, SA-ß-gal activity, and SASP. All these effects were also prevented by RvE1 treatment. CONCLUSION: These data show the anti-senescent role of RvE1 in Doxo-induced CFs senescence, which could be mediated by reducing IL-1ß secretion.
