Description

Use of solute carrier family 44 member 2 for treating cardiac remodeling
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of heart reconstruction prevention and control, and particularly relates to application of a regulatory solute carrier family 44 member 2 in heart reconstruction prevention and control.
Background
Cardiac remodeling refers to the adaptive response of the heart in the long term under the action of hemodynamic or non-hemodynamic factors. Early stage of heart reconstruction is mainly characterized by myocardial cell hypertrophy, has compensatory effect, can maintain normal heart function, and is not accompanied with the change of cell interstitial components; when the heart is under stress conditions such as pressure overload for a long time, the heart is changed into a decompensated state, the heart function is reduced, and the heart fibroblast activation, immune cell infiltration and activation, cell interstitial increase, component change, myocardial cell apoptosis and other characteristics are accompanied. After decompensation is carried out on the heart reconstruction, the occurrence rate of arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, sudden death and other cardiovascular events can be increased by 6-8 times, the heart reconstruction is prevented or delayed, the progress of various cardiovascular diseases and the occurrence of heart failure can be effectively restrained, and the survival rate and the life quality of patients are improved. Therefore, finding new methods that can delay cardiac remodeling is critical to effectively reduce its high mortality in clinic.
Cardiac remodeling is often accompanied by changes in the function and phenotype of a variety of cells. The long-term pressure overload can lead myocardial cells to enter a decompensated state, the cell volume is increased, the energy produced by the cells is changed from the oxidation of fatty acid to the oxidation of glucose, the active oxygen is increased, the mitochondrial function is damaged, and the cardiac ejection fraction and the left ventricular diastolic function are reduced; along with the increase of the volume of cardiac muscle cells and the progress of diseases, the energy supply of the cardiac muscle cells is insufficient, and the pathological changes such as cardiac muscle cell apoptosis, fibroblast activation, cardiac neovascularization, immune cell infiltration and activation and the like are accompanied, so that the cardiac structure is changed, and finally the heart failure is developed. Therefore, the molecular mechanism of pathological changes of myocardial cells is explored, so that the heart reconstruction rule can be known, and theoretical guidance and scientific basis are provided for disease prevention and treatment.
Solute carrier family 44 member 2 (SLC 44 A2) is predominantly expressed in the cell membrane and mitochondrial membrane, and is involved in regulating cellular function and signaling pathway transduction in conjunction with the corresponding ligand proteins. The solute carrier family 44 member 2 in the inner ear tissue can be combined with the matrix protein Cochlin, and researches prove that the solute carrier family 44 member 2 has the function of maintaining the structure and the function of the inner ear; solute carrier family 44 member 2 acts as a mitochondrial choline transporter, affecting the production of adenosine triphosphate and the clotting function of platelets, regulating venous thrombosis; in addition, solute carrier family 44 member 2 forms a three-molecule complex with Von Willebrand Factor (VWF), CD11b/CD18 on the surface of neutrophils, leading to neutrophil activation, aggregation and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production, a mechanism that further exacerbates endothelial leakage from transfusion-associated acute lung injury. We found that solute carrier family 44 member 2 was significantly reduced in expression levels in the cardiomyocyte hypertrophy model. However, the role and mechanism of solute carrier family 44 member 2 in cardiac remodeling has not been currently studied and reported.

2.2 experimental results
The cell level over-expression solute carrier family 44 member 2 improves myocardial hypertrophy, and the animal level over-expression solute carrier family 44 member 2 improves heart function and delays heart remodeling process.
We further observed cardiomyocyte area in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes by adenovirus infection of over-expressed solute carrier family 44 member 2, on which basis angiotensin II treatment was administered, immunofluorescent staining (α -actinin) and found that over-expressed solute carrier family 44 member 2 was effective in ameliorating cardiomyocyte hypertrophy due to angiotensin II (fig. 3: a); the mRNA levels of markers of myocardial hypertrophy (Anp, bnp, β -Mhc) were detected by RT-PCR with extraction of cellular RNA, and as a result, it was found that over-expression of solute carrier family 44, member 2, significantly reversed the angiotensin II-induced increase in Anp, bnp, β -Mhc (FIG. 3: B). 4-week-old C57BL/6 male mice are respectively injected with control and myocardial cell specific over-expression solute carrier family 44 member 2 adeno-associated virus by tail vein, aortic stenosis operation (TAC) induced heart reconstruction model is carried out after 4 weeks, heart reconstruction and heart function related indexes are detected by heart ultrasound of the mice after 4 weeks, heart tissues of the mice are taken, and as a result, heart reconstruction mice are found: the heart volume increased significantly and the cardiomyocyte size increased significantly (fig. 4: a, b); mice increased cardiac weight/weight ratio (fig. 4: c); the mouse heart chamber compartment thickness increased (figure 5:A); the wall thickness of the left chamber of the mouse heart increased (fig. 5:B); mouse cardiac ejection fraction decreased (fig. 5: c); reduction in the short axis of the mice (figure 5:D); whereas cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of solute carrier family 44 member 2 reduced heart remodeling and changes in cardiac performance index in mice caused by aortic constriction surgery (TAC) (FIGS. 4: A-C, 5:A-D). The above results suggest that solute carrier family 44 member 2 plays a protective role in cardiac remodeling, and that overexpression of solute carrier family 44 member 2 delays progression of cardiac remodeling disease.
The protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Variations and advantages that would occur to one skilled in the art are included in the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the inventive concept, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims.
