RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Cardiac fibrosis after myocardial infarction (MI) has been considered an important part of cardiac pathological remodeling. Immune cells, especially macrophages, are thought to be involved in the process of fibrosis and constitute a niche with fibroblasts to promote fibrosis. However, the diversity and variability of fibroblasts and macrophages make it difficult to accurately depict interconnections. METHODS: We collected and reanalyzed scRNA-seq and snRNA-seq datasets from 12 different studies. Differentiation trajectories of these subpopulations after MI injury were analyzed by using scVelo, PAGA and Slingshot. We used CellphoneDB and NicheNet to infer fibroblast-macrophage interactions. Tissue immunofluorescence staining and in vitro experiments were used to validate our findings. RESULTS: We discovered two subsets of ECM-producing fibroblasts, reparative cardiac fibroblasts (RCFs) and matrifibrocytes, which appeared at different times after MI and exhibited different transcriptional profiles. We also observed that CTHRC1+ fibroblasts represent an activated fibroblast in chronic disease states. We identified a macrophage subset expressing the genes signature of SAMs conserved in both human and mouse hearts. Meanwhile, the SPP1hi macrophages were predominantly found in the early stages after MI, and cell communication analysis indicated that SPP1hi macrophage-RCFs interactions are mainly involved in collagen deposition and scar formation. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, this study comprehensively analyzed the dynamics of fibroblast and macrophage subsets after MI and identified specific subsets of fibroblasts and macrophages involved in scar formation and collagen deposition.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), one of the most serious long-term consequences of diabetes, is closely associated with oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis in the heart. MACRO domain containing 1 (Macrod1) is an ADP-ribosylhydrolase 1 that is highly enriched in mitochondria, participating in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we investigated the role of Macrod1 in DCM. A mice model was established by feeding a high-fat diet (HFD) and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). We showed that Macrod1 expression levels were significantly downregulated in cardiac tissue of DCM mice. Reduced expression of Macrod1 was also observed in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) treated with palmitic acid (PA, 400 µM) in vitro. Knockout of Macrod1 in DCM mice not only worsened glycemic control, but also aggravated cardiac remodeling, mitochondrial dysfunction, NAD+ consumption and oxidative stress, whereas cardiac-specific overexpression of Macrod1 partially reversed these pathological processes. In PA-treated NRCMs, overexpression of Macrod1 significantly inhibited PARP1 expression and restored NAD+ levels, activating SIRT3 to resist oxidative stress. Supplementation with the NAD+ precursor Niacin (50 µM) alleviated oxidative stress in PA-stimulated cardiomyocytes. We revealed that Macrod1 reduced NAD+ consumption by inhibiting PARP1 expression, thereby activating SIRT3 and anti-oxidative stress signaling. This study identifies Macrod1 as a novel target for DCM treatment. Targeting the PARP1-NAD+-SIRT3 axis may open a novel avenue to development of new intervention strategies in DCM. Schematic illustration of macrod1 ameliorating diabetic cardiomyopathy oxidative stress via PARP1-NAD+-SIRT3 axis.

ADP-ribosylation (ADPr) is a dynamically reversible post-translational modification (PTM) driven primarily by ADP-ribosyltransferases (ADPRTs or ARTs), which have ADP-ribosyl transfer activity. ADPr modification is involved in signaling pathways, DNA damage repair, metabolism, immunity, and inflammation. In recent years, several studies have revealed that new targets or treatments for tumors, cardiovascular diseases, neuromuscular diseases and infectious diseases can be explored by regulating ADPr. Here, we review the recent research progress on ART-mediated ADP-ribosylation and the latest findings in the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases.

BACKGROUND: Oncostatin M (OSM) is a secreted cytokine of the interleukin (IL)-6 family that induces biological effects by activating functional receptor complexes of the common signal transducing component glycoprotein 130 (gp130) and OSM receptor ß (OSMR) or leukaemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR), which are mainly involved in chronic inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases. The effect and underlying mechanism of OSM/OSMR/LIFR on the development of cardiac hypertrophy remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: OSMR-knockout (OSMR-KO) mice were subjected to aortic banding (AB) surgery to establish a model of pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Echocardiographic, histological, biochemical and immunological analyses of the myocardium and the adoptive transfer of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were conducted for in vivo studies. BMDMs were isolated and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for the in vitro study. OSMR deficiency aggravated cardiac hypertrophy, fibrotic remodelling and cardiac dysfunction after AB surgery in mice. Mechanistically, the loss of OSMR activated OSM/LIFR/STAT3 signalling and promoted a proresolving macrophage phenotype that exacerbated inflammation and impaired cardiac repair during remodelling. In addition, adoptive transfer of OSMR-KO BMDMs to WT mice after AB surgery resulted in a consistent hypertrophic phenotype. Moreover, knockdown of LIFR in myocardial tissue with Ad-shLIFR ameliorated the effects of OSMR deletion on the phenotype and STAT3 activation. CONCLUSIONS: OSMR deficiency aggravated pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy by modulating macrophages and OSM/LIFR/STAT3 signalling, which provided evidence that OSMR might be an attractive target for treating pathological cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure.
