Definitions
- the present invention is generally related to molecular biology and cardiology. More specifically, it concerns methods and compositions related to inducing physiologic hypertrophy in a cell, such as a cardiac cell, in therapeutic and preventative applications for cardiovascular diseases and conditions. In specific embodiments, methods and compositions involve fatty acid compositions.
- Cardiac enlargement more commonly termed cardiac hypertrophy— is a major risk factor of premature cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In fact, cardiac hypertrophy is the best predictor of mortality. Few drugs are effective in treating the most costly endpoint of these diseases, congestive heart failure. The most commonly used treatments include digoxin, ACE inhibitors, diuretics, and ⁇ adrenergic receptor blockade.
- An adaptive growth of the heart also occurs during normal postnatal growth or as a consequence of physical conditioning such as exercise. This physiologic hypertrophy is associated with cardiovascular benefit. Indeed, evidence suggests that physiological cardiac growth induced by exercise may protect against pathological stimuli such as pressure overload.
- Burmese pythons ⁇ Python molurus are opportunistic ambush predators, adapted to consume large meals at infrequent intervals.
- pythons exhibit a large regulatory response to the digestion process including an increase in its metabolic rate, nutrient transport and organ mass. It has been determined that the python heart can enlarge up to 60% 2 days post-feeding and it reverts to fasting size very rapidly (Secor and Diamond, 1998). Most other regulatory parameters also return to pre-feeding states.
- Some aspects of the hypertrophic response in the python's heart were reported by Andersen et a/.(2005). These authors determined that the increased mass of the heart does not arise from an increase in the fluid content of the tissue. Moreover, the authors report an increase in the ventricular mRNA levels for cardiac myosin.
- physiologic hypertrophy is induced in cardiac cells or cardiomyocytes.
- methods for inducing physiological hypertrophy in a cardiac cell in a subject comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an aquaporin 7 (AQP7) inducer.

- Cardiovascular disease remains the number one cause of mortality in the Western world, with heart failure representing the fastest growing subclass over the past 10 years. Heart failure is induced by a number of common disease stimuli, which first activate a phase of cardiac hypertrophy to normalize wall tension in the heart. However, in the long term, myocardial hypertrophy is the biggest predictor of heart failure and sudden death.
- the heart responds to a variety of stimuli by an increase in size, also known as
- hypotrophy There are beneficial types of stimuli such as exercise or detrimental ones like when the heart grows in response to high blood pressure, a heart attack or an inherited condition. Defining the differences between the healthy heart growth compared to unhealthy growth is important.
- compositions and methods useful for treating diseases and conditions related to the activities of cardiac growth or regression related genes or their expressed proteins are useful for treating diseases and conditions related to the activities of cardiac growth or regression related genes or their expressed proteins.

- inhibitors or activators of the identified cardiac growth or regression related genes may be known in the art and any such known inhibitors or activators may be used in the practice of the claimed methods.
- metabolic syndrome refers to a combination of medical disorders associated with heart disease including pathologic hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Medical disorders or conditions that can make up metabolic syndrome include obesity, hyperlipoproteinemia, hyperuricemia, hypercholestrolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hepatic steatosis, glucose intolerance, and hypetension. It is estimated that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome is as high as 25% of the adult population of the United States.
- the model organisms that are most typically studied to understand cardiac hypertrophy are rodents and humans. Cardiac mass in these organisms can change, but usually slowly and it is rare to see a doubling in heart size without genetic manipulation. Long-term changes in human cardiac mass are not readily amenable to study, as any underlying changes in gene expression or protein activity levels may be difficult to detect. A shorter term model system with greater fluctuations in cardiac mass is desirable, to facilitate detection of genes involved in cardiac hypertrophy or regression.
- Burmese pythons ⁇ Python molurus are opportunistic ambush predators, adapted to consume large meals at infrequent intervals. As a consequence of their feeding habits, pythons exhibit a large regulatory response to the digestion process including a large increase in its metabolic rate, nutrient transport and organ mass (Secor and Diamond, 1998). Most mammalian species are adapted to consume frequent, small meals, which means that their digestion process does not show a factorial increase like that of pythons. A comparison of the post-feeding response of pythons and mammals is shown below in Table 1.
- Burmese pythons During fasting conditions, Burmese pythons have a low basal metabolism and most of the organs are maintained with small masses to conserve energy. Upon feeding, the increase in metabolic rate has a peak at 1-2 days and declines to fasting levels at 8-16 days. This rapid increase in energy cost is originated by the rapid start-up of gastrointestinal functions, but also involves the rapid growth of several organs that are not directly involved in digestion, such as the heart.

There may be times when the full or partial genomic sequence is some. Alternatively, cDNAs may be advantageous because it represents coding regions of a polypeptide and eliminates introns and other regulatory regions.

- isolated substantially away from other coding sequences means that the gene of interest forms part of the coding region of the nucleic acid segment, and that the segment does not contain large portions of naturally-occurring coding nucleic acid, such as large chromosomal fragments or other functional genes or cDNA coding regions. Of course, this refers to the nucleic acid segment as originally isolated, and does not exclude genes or coding regions later added to the segment by human manipulation.
- Vectors of the present invention are designed primarily to introduce into cells a therapeutic or preventative AQP7 nucleic acid inducer under the control of a eukaryotic promoter (i.e., constitutive, inducible, repressible, tissue specific). Also, the vectors may contain a selectable marker if, for no other reason, to facilitate their manipulation in vitro. However, selectable markers may play an important role in producing recombinant cells.
- the AQP7 coding sequence is provided as a nucleic acid expressing the AQP7 polypeptide.
- the nucleic acid is a viral vector, wherein the viral vector dose is or is at least 10 3 , 10 4 , 10 5 , 10 6 , 10 7 , 10 8 , 10 9 , 10 10 , 10 11 , 10 12 , 10 13 , 10 14 , 10 15 or higher pfu or viral particles.

- the nucleic acid is a non-viral vector.
- the promoters and enhancers that control the transcription of protein encoding genes in eukaryotic cells are composed of multiple genetic elements.
- the cellular machinery is able to gather and integrate the regulatory information conveyed by each element, allowing different genes to evolve distinct, often complex patterns of transcriptional regulation.
- promoter will be used here to refer to a group of transcriptional control modules that are clustered around the initiation site for R A polymerase II. Much of the thinking about how promoters are organized derives from analyses of several viral promoters, including those for the HSV thymidine kinase (tk) and SV40 early transcription units. These studies, augmented by more recent work, have shown that promoters are composed of discrete functional modules, each consisting of approximately 7-20 bp of DNA, and containing one or more recognition sites for transcriptional activator proteins. [00145] At least one module in each promoter functions to position the start site for R A synthesis.
- TATA box in some promoters lacking a TATA box, such as the promoter for the mammalian terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase gene and the promoter for the SV40 late genes, a discrete element overlying the start site itself helps to fix the place of initiation.

- IRES elements can be linked to heterologous open reading frames. Multiple open reading frames can be transcribed together, each separated by an IRES, creating polycistronic messages. By virtue of the IRES element, each open reading frame is accessible to ribosomes for efficient translation. Multiple genes can be efficiently expressed using a single promoter/enhancer to transcribe a single message.
- promoters are DNA elements which when positioned functionally upstream of a gene leads to the expression of that gene.
- Most transgene constructs of the present invention are functionally positioned downstream of a promoter element.
- compositions and methods of the invention are provided for administering the compositions of the invention to a patient.
- nucleic acid molecule of the invention may be comprised in a vector.
- vector is used to refer to a carrier nucleic acid molecule into which a nucleic acid sequence can be inserted for introduction into a cell where it can be replicated.
- a nucleic acid sequence can be "exogenous,” which means that it is foreign to the cell into which the vector is being introduced or that the sequence is homologous to a sequence in the cell but in a position within the host cell nucleic acid in which the sequence is ordinarily not found.
- Vectors include plasmids, cosmids, viruses (bacteriophage, animal viruses, and plant viruses), and artificial chromosomes (e.g., YACs).
- a vector may encode non-modified polypeptide sequences such as a tag or targeting molecule.
- Useful vectors encoding such fusion proteins include pIN vectors (Inouye et al, 1985), vectors encoding a stretch of histidines, and pGEX vectors, for use in generating glutathione S-transferase (GST) soluble fusion proteins for later purification and separation or cleavage.
- GST glutathione S-transferase
- a targetting molecule is one that directs the modified polypeptide to a particular organ, tissue, cell, or other location in a subject's body.
- expression vector refers to a vector containing a nucleic acid sequence coding for at least part of a gene product capable of being transcribed. In some cases, R A molecules are then translated into a protein, polypeptide, or peptide.
- Expression vectors can contain a variety of "control sequences,” which refer to nucleic acid sequences necessary for the transcription and possibly translation of an operably linked coding sequence in a particular host organism. In addition to control sequences that govern transcription and translation, vectors and expression vectors may contain nucleic acid sequences that serve other functions as well and are described infra.
- One method for delivery of the recombinant DNA involves the use of an adenovirus expression vector.
- Adenovirus expression vector is meant to include those constructs containing adenovirus sequences sufficient to (a) support packaging of the construct and (b) to ultimately express a recombinant gene construct that has been cloned therein.
- the adenovirus vector may be replication defective, or at least conditionally defective; the nature of the adenovirus vector is not believed to be crucial to the successful practice of the invention.
- the adenovirus may be of any of the 42 different known serotypes or subgroups A-F.
- Adenovirus type 5 of subgroup C is the starting material in order to obtain the conditional replication-defective adenovirus vector for use in the present invention.
- the typical vector according to the present invention is replication defective and will not have an adenovirus El region.
- the position of insertion of the construct within the adenovirus sequences is not critical to the invention.
- the polynucleotide encoding the gene of interest may also be inserted in lieu of the deleted E3 region in E3 replacement vectors as described by Karlsson et al. (1986) or in the E4 region where a helper cell line or helper virus complements the E4 defect.
- the retroviruses are a group of single-stranded R A viruses characterized by an ability to convert their RNA to double-stranded DNA in infected cells by a process of reverse- transcription (Coffin, 1990).
- a nucleic acid encoding a gene of interest is inserted into the viral genome in the place of certain viral sequences to produce a virus that is replication-defective.
- a packaging cell line containing the gag, pol, and env genes but without the LTR and packaging components is constructed (Mann et al., 1983).
- Retroviral vectors are able to infect a broad variety of cell types. However, integration and stable expression require the division of host cells (Paskind et ah, 1975).
- Other viral vectors include adeno-associated virus (AAV) (described in U.S.
- Particular embodiments concern isolated nucleic acid segments and recombinant vectors incorporating DNA sequences that encode AQP7 inducers, such as siRNAs or ribozymes that target nucleic acids encoding inhibitors of AQP7, such as AQP7 transcription repressors.
- AQP7 inducers such as siRNAs or ribozymes that target nucleic acids encoding inhibitors of AQP7, such as AQP7 transcription repressors.
- a nucleic acid may encode an antisense construct.
- Antisense methodology takes advantage of the fact that nucleic acids tend to pair with "complementary sequences."
- complementary it is meant that polynucleotides are those which are capable of base-pairing according to the standard Watson-Crick complementarity rules. Inclusion of less common bases such as inosine, 5-methylcytosine, 6-methyladenine, hypoxanthine and others in hybridizing sequences does not interfere with pairing.
- Antisense polynucleotides when introduced into a target cell, specifically bind to their target polynucleotide and interfere with transcription, RNA processing, transport, translation and/or stability.
- Antisense RNA constructs, or DNA encoding such antisense RNA's may be employed to inhibit gene transcription or translation or both within a host cell, either in vitro or in vivo, such as within a host animal, including a human subject.
- Antisense constructs may be designed to bind to the promoter and other control regions, exons, introns or even exon-intron boundaries of a gene. It is contemplated that the most effective antisense constructs will include regions complementary to intron/exon splice junctions. Thus, it is proposed that a preferred embodiment includes an antisense construct with complementarity to regions within 50-200 bases of an intron-exon splice junction. It has been observed that some exon sequences can be included in the construct without seriously affecting the target selectivity thereof. The amount of exonic material included will vary depending on the particular exon and intron sequences used. One can readily test whether too much exon DNA is included simply by testing the constructs in vitro to determine whether normal cellular function is affected or whether the expression of related genes having complementary sequences is affected.
- complementary or “antisense” means polynucleotide sequences that are substantially complementary over their entire length and have very few base mismatches. For example, sequences of fifteen bases in length may be termed complementary when they have complementary nucleotides at thirteen or fourteen positions. Naturally, sequences which are completely complementary will be sequences which are entirely complementary throughout their entire length and have no base mismatches. Other sequences with lower degrees of homology also are contemplated. For example, an antisense construct which has limited regions of high homology, but also contains a non-homologous region (e.g., ribozyme; see below) could be designed. These molecules, though having less than 50% homology, would bind to target sequences under appropriate conditions.
- ribozyme e.g., ribozyme; see below
- the nucleic acid encodes an interfering RNA or siRNA.
- RNA interference also referred to as "RNA-mediated interference” or RNAi
- RNA-mediated interference is a mechanism by which gene expression can be reduced or eliminated.
- Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) has been observed to mediate the reduction, which is a multi-step process.
- dsRNA activates post- transcriptional gene expression surveillance mechanisms that appear to function to defend cells from virus infection and transposon activity (Fire et al, 1998; Grishok et al, 2000; Ketting et al, 1999; Lin and Avery, 1999; Montgomery et al, 1998; Sharp and Zamore, 2000; Tabara et al, 1999). Activation of these mechanisms targets mature, dsRN A- complementary mRNA for destruction.
- RNAi RNAi
- Grishok et al, 2000 Ketting et al, 1999; Lin and Avery et al, 1999; Montgomery et al, 1998; Sharp et al, 1999; Sharp and Zamore, 2000; Tabara et al, 1999.
- dsRNA has been shown to silence genes in a wide range of systems, including plants, protozoans, fungi, C. elegans, Trypanasoma, Drosophila, and mammals (Grishok et al, 2000; Sharp et al, 1999; Sharp and Zamore, 2000; Elbashir et al, 2001).
- siR As are designed so that they are specific and effective in suppressing the expression of the genes of interest. Methods of selecting the target sequences, i.e., those sequences present in the gene or genes of interest to which the siRNAs will guide the degradative machinery, are directed to avoiding sequences that may interfere with the siRNA's guide function while including sequences that are specific to the gene or genes. Typically, siRNA target sequences of about 21 to 23 nucleotides in length are most effective. This length reflects the lengths of digestion products resulting from the processing of much longer RNAs as described above (Montgomery et ah, 1998).
- methods concern an siRNA that is capable of triggering RNA interference, a process by which a particular RNA sequence is destroyed.
- siRNA are dsRNA molecules that are 100 bases or fewer in length (or have 100 basepairs or fewer in its complementarity region). In some cases, it has a 2 nucleotide 3' overhang and a 5' phosphate.
- the particular RNA sequence is targeted as a result of the complementarity between the dsRNA and the particular RNA sequence. It will be understood that dsRNA or siRNA of the invention can effect at least a 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 percent or more reduction of expression of a targeted RNA in a cell.
- dsRNA of the invention is distinct and distinguishable from antisense and ribozyme molecules by virtue of the ability to trigger RNAi.
- dsRNA molecules for RNAi differ from antisense and ribozyme molecules in that dsR A has at least one region of complementarity within the RNA molecule.
- the complementary (also referred to as "complementarity") region comprises at least or at most 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 , 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41 , 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51 , 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71 , 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81 , 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91 , 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 1 10, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 210, 220,
- an inhibitor, activator or binding agent of use may be an aptamer.
- Aptamers are usually single-stranded, short molecules of RNA, DNA or a nucleic acid analog, that may adopt three-dimensional conformations complementary to a wide variety of target molecules.
- Methods of constructing and determining the binding characteristics of aptamers are well known in the art. For example, such techniques are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,582,981, 5,595,877 and 5,637,459, each incorporated herein by reference.
- Aptamers may be prepared by any known method, including synthetic, recombinant, and purification methods, and may be used alone or in combination with other ligands specific for the same target. In general, a minimum of approximately 3 nucleotides, preferably at least 5 nucleotides, are necessary to effect specific binding. Aptamers of sequences shorter than 10 bases may be feasible, although aptamers of 10, 20, 30 or 40 nucleotides may be preferred. [00167] Aptamers need to contain the sequence that confers binding specificity, but may be extended with flanking regions and otherwise derivatized.
- the target-binding sequences of aptamers may be flanked by primer-binding sequences, facilitating the amplification of the aptamers by PCR or other amplification techniques.
- the flanking sequence may comprise a specific sequence that preferentially recognizes or binds a moiety to enhance the immobilization of the aptamer to a substrate.
- Aptamers may be isolated, sequenced, and/or amplified or synthesized as conventional DNA or R A molecules.
- aptamers of interest may comprise modified oligomers. Any of the hydroxyl groups ordinarily present in aptamers may be replaced by phosphonate groups, phosphate groups, protected by a standard protecting group, or activated to prepare additional linkages to other nucleotides, or may be conjugated to solid supports.
- One or more phosphodiester linkages may be replaced by alternative linking groups, such as P(0)0 replaced by P(0)S, P(0)NR 2 , P(0)R, P(0)OR', CO, or CNR 2 , wherein R is H or alkyl (1-20C) and R' is alkyl (1-20C); in addition, this group may be attached to adjacent nucleotides through O or S. Not all linkages in an oligomer need to be identical.
- the aptamers used as starting materials in the process to determine specific binding sequences may be single-stranded or double-stranded DNA or RNA.
- the sequences are single-stranded DNA, which is less susceptible to nuclease degradation than RNA.
- the starting aptamer will contain a randomized sequence portion, generally including from about 10 to 400 nucleotides, more preferably 20 to 100 nucleotides.
- the randomized sequence is flanked by primer sequences that permit the amplification of aptamers found to bind to the target. For synthesis of the randomized regions, mixtures of nucleotides at the positions where randomization is desired may be added during synthesis.
- Each cycle results in an enrichment of aptamers with high affinity for the target.
- Repetition for between three to six selection and amplification cycles may be used to generate aptamers that bind with high affinity and specificity to the target.
- Aptamers may be selected to bind to and inhibit or activate one or more proteins products of cardiac growth or regression related genes.
- Protamine may also be used to form a complex with an expression construct. Such complexes may then be formulated with the lipid compositions described above for adminstration to a cell.
- Protamines are small highly basic nucleoproteins associated with DNA. Their use in the delivery of nucleic acids is described in U.S. Patent 5,187,260, which is incorporated by reference.
- a nucleic acid may be entrapped in a liposome or lipid formulation.
- Liposomes are vesicular structures characterized by a phospholipid bilayer membrane and an inner aqueous medium. Multilamellar liposomes have multiple lipid layers separated by aqueous medium. They form spontaneously when phospholipids are suspended in an excess of aqueous solution. The lipid components undergo self-rearrangement before the formation of closed structures and entrap water and dissolved solutes between the lipid bilayers (Ghosh and Bachhawat, 1991). Also contemplated is a gene construct complexed with Lipofectamine (Gibco BRL).
- DOTAPxholesterol lipid formulation is said to form a unique structure termed a "sandwich liposome". This formulation is reported to "sandwich" DNA between an invaginated bi-layer or 'vase' structure. Beneficial characteristics of these lipid structures include a positive colloidal stabilization by cholesterol, two dimensional DNA packing and increased serum stability.
- the liposome is further defined as a nanoparticle.
- nanoparticle is defined herein to refer to a submicron particle.
- the submicron particle can be of any size.
- the nanoparticle may have a diameter of from about 0.1 , 1 , 10, 100, 300, 500, 700, 1000 nanometers or greater.

- DOTAP:Chol-DNA complexes were prepared fresh two to three hours prior to injection in mice.
- Liposomes are vesicular structures characterized by a phospholipid bilayer membrane and an inner aqueous medium. Multilamellar liposomes have multiple lipid layers separated by aqueous medium. They form spontaneously when phospholipids are suspended in an excess of aqueous solution. The lipid components undergo self-rearrangement before the formation of closed structures and entrap water and dissolved solutes between the lipid bilayers (Ghosh and Bachhawat, 1991). Also contemplated is a gene construct complexed with Lipofectamine (Gibco BRL).
- Lipid based non-viral formulations provide an alternative to adenoviral gene therapies. Although many cell culture studies have documented lipid based non-viral gene transfer, systemic gene delivery via lipid based formulations has been limited. A major limitation of non-viral lipid based gene delivery is the toxicity of the cationic lipids that comprise the non-viral delivery vehicle. The in vivo toxicity of liposomes partially explains the discrepancy between in vitro and in vivo gene transfer results. Another factor contributing to this contradictory data is the difference in liposome stability in the presence and absence of serum proteins. The interaction between liposomes and serum proteins has a dramatic impact on the stability characteristics of liposomes (Yang and Huang, 1997).
- Cationic liposomes attract and bind negatively charged serum proteins. Liposomes coated by serum proteins are either dissolved or taken up by macrophages leading to their removal from circulation.
- Current in vivo liposomal delivery methods use subcutaneous, intradermal, intratumoral, or intracranial injection to avoid the toxicity and stability problems associated with cationic lipids in the circulation.
- liposomes and plasma proteins are responsible for the disparity between the efficiency of in vitro (Feigner et ah, 1987) and in vivo gene transfer (Zhu et ah, 1993; Solodin et ah, 1995; Liu et ah, 1995; Thierry et ah, 1995; Tsukamoto et ah, 1995; Aksentijevich et ah, 1996).
- lipid structures can be used to encapsulate compounds that are toxic (chemotherapeutics) or labile (nucleic acids) when in circulation. Liposomal encapsulation has resulted in a lower toxicity and a longer serum half- life for such compounds (Gabizon et ah, 1990). Numerous disease treatments are using lipid based gene transfer strategies to enhance conventional or establish novel therapies, in particular therapies for treating hyperproliferative diseases.
- the liposome may be complexed with a hemagglutinating virus (HVJ). This has been shown to facilitate fusion with the cell membrane and promote cell entry of liposome - encapsulated DNA (Kaneda et ah, 1989).
- HVJ hemagglutinating virus
- the liposome may be complexed or employed in conjunction with nuclear non-histone chromosomal proteins (HMG- 1) (Kato et ah, 1991).
- HMG- 1 nuclear non-histone chromosomal proteins
- the liposome may be complexed or employed in conjunction with both HVJ and HMG- 1.
- a nucleic acid for nonviral delivery may be purified on polyacrylamide gels, cesium chloride centrifugation gradients, column chromatography or by any other means known to one of ordinary skill in the art (see for example, Sambrook et ah, 2001 , incorporated herein by reference).
- the present invention concerns a nucleic acid that is an isolated nucleic acid.
- isolated nucleic acid refers to a nucleic acid molecule ⁇ e.g., an RNA or DNA molecule) that has been isolated free of, or is otherwise free of, bulk of cellular components or in vitro reaction components, and/or the bulk of the total genomic and transcribed nucleic acids of one or more cells.
- Methods for isolating nucleic acids e.g., equilibrium density centrifugation, electrophoretic separation, column chromatography are well known to those of skill in the art.

- residues are shown to be particularly important to the biological or structural properties of a protein or peptide, e.g., residues in the binding site of an antibody, such residues may not generally be exchanged.
- Amino acid substitutions are generally based on the relative similarity of the amino acid side-chain substituents, for example, their hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, charge, size, and the like.
- An analysis of the size, shape, and type of the amino acid side-chain substituents reveals that arginine, lysine, and histidine are all positively charged residues; that alanine, glycine, and serine are all a similar size; and that phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine all have a generally similar shape.

In some embodiments this is achieved by evaluating transcript or protein levels of AQP7 or by measuring transcription activity from an AQP7 transcription region controlling expression of a marker gene. For instance, transcription from an endogenous AQP7 gene can be measured or evaluated or transcription can be measured from a recombinant and/or exogenous AQP7 coding sequence under the control of an AQP7 promoter and/or enhancer region. Transcription levels can be measured by a number of assays that are well known to those of skill in the art.

- a candidate AQP7 compound that induces expression of the reporter gene relative to one or more controls is a candidate AQP7 inducer.
- Controls include but are not limited to a parallel assay conducted with the nucleic acid molecule in the absence of the candidate AQP7 compound or involving the same candidate compund but with a different nucleic acid molecule, such as one under the control of a different transcriptional regulation region. It is contemplated that methods may be conducted partly or fully in a cell-free system, though in other embodiments, the nucleic acid molecule is in a host cell. In some embodiments, the host cell is a cardiomyocyte.

- Partial purification may be accomplished by using fewer purification steps in combination, or by utilizing different forms of the same general purification scheme. Methods exhibiting a lower degree of relative purification may have advantages in total recovery of molecule or complex, or in maintaining the activity of a regulatory molecule.
- Affinity chromatography is a chromatographic procedure that relies on the specific affinity between a substance to be isolated and a molecule to which it can specifically bind. This is a receptor-ligand type of interaction.
- the column material is synthesized by covalently coupling one of the binding partners to an insoluble matrix. The column material is then able to specifically adsorb the substance from the solution. Elution occurs by changing the conditions to those in which binding will not occur (e.g., altered pH, ionic strength, temperature, etc.).
- the matrix should be a substance that itself does not adsorb molecules to any significant extent and that has a broad range of chemical, physical and thermal stability.
- the ligand should be coupled in such a way as to not affect its binding properties. The ligand should also provide relatively tight binding. And it should be possible to elute the substance without destroying the sample or the ligand.

- cardiac hypertrophy The enlargement of the heart is known as cardiac hypertrophy and there are two types: physiologic and pathologic hypertrophy.
- Physiologic hypertrophy is beneficial for the heart function and does not correlate with heart disease; however, pathologic hypertrophy is detrimental for the heart and progresses to cardiac dilation and heart failure.
- Burmese pythons ⁇ Python molurus are opportunistic ambush predators, adapted to consume large meals at infrequent intervals. As a consequence of their feeding habits, pythons exhibit a large regulatory response to the digestion process including a large increase in metabolic rate, nutrient transport and organ mass including the heart. Understanding the cellular and molecular components of this rapid and reversible enlargement of the heart provides a better understanding of the mechanisms that regulate cardiac growth under physiological conditions in mammals.
- the inventors have conducted experiments to gain insights into the remodeling process that occurs during the response of the snake heart to feeding. Histological analyses of the hearts dissected in both experimental conditions have been performed. In accordance with a physiological hypertrophy, Masson's trichrome staining showed no increased collagen deposition in the hypertrophied heart.
- snake serum contains a pro- hypertrophic factor by treating neonatal ventricular myocytes with 2% fed snake serum and measuring changes in cell size.
- Serum from a fed snake one day after a rodent meal (1 DPF) induced a significant increase in cardiomyocyte size compared to a fasted one.
- the magnitude of the cell growth is comparable to a well-known pro-hypertrophic agonist such as phenylephrin (PE) ( Figure 1).
- PE pro-hypertrophic agonist
- the inventors have also determined that there is a dose-dependent response to the molecule present in the serum ( Figure 2).
- a key feature of the cardiomyocytes growth is the increase in protein synthesis.
- mTOR and the IGF signaling pathway are good candidate molecules that may be induced by snake serum.
- activation of NFAT an indicator of pathological hypertrophic signalling, was repressed upon fed serum treatment (Figure 3).
- Aquaporin 7 belongs to a family of water-selective membrane channels. Specifically, AQP7 facilitates water, glycerol and urea transport.
- AQP7 is expressed in the mammalian heart, but its function and relevance to heart function remain to be determined. Based on the array analysis performed on the cardiomyocytes wherein AQP7 was 60-fold up-regulated upon treatment with fed serum, the inventors hypothesized that this protein could be an important molecule for the regulation of physiologic cardiac growth.
- the inventors cloned the rat sequence in an adenoviral vector.
- the AQP7-containing adenoviral constructs were transduced in NVRMs and the induction of cardiac cell growth was visualized by alpha actinin staining (and DAPI for nuclei).
- the overexpression of AQP7 mRNA in transduced NRVMs is shown in Figure 6.

The upper phase (fatty acyl methyl esters) was then transferred to a new tube, 100 ⁇ of FAME was added, and gas chromatography was performed on an Agilent HP6890N platform equipped with a DB-23 column (30 m x 250 ⁇ x 0.25 ⁇ ).
- Fasted plasma supplemented with C16, C16:l, and C14 recapitulates the fed plasma effect.
- Individual fatty acids were complexed to BSA as described by de Vries et al. (1997), which is hereby incorporated by reference. Briefly, C16, C16: l, and C14 were dissolved in ethanol to yield a concentration of 18.75 mM. An equal volume of Na 2 C0 3 (10 mM) was added and the ethanol was evaporated at 60°C under continuous N 2 flow. The fatty acid mix was added dropwise to 10% BSA. BSA fatty acid complexes were then dialyzed four times at 4°C during 4-6 hours in NH 4 HCO 3 (0.1 M).
- NRVM rinse media MEM/PB12/Hepes
- NRVMs were treated with fasted serum, 1 day post-fed serum, or fasted serum + individual fatty acids. Serum was added for a final concentration of 2%; individual fatty acids were supplemented to 1 day post-fed levels (C14, 40 ⁇ ; C16, 137 ⁇ ; C16: l, 7.5 ⁇ ).
- NRVM gene expression and mean cell diameter were determined after either 24 or 48 hours, respectively.
- the graph shows that although the cardiomyocytes were smaller in the presence of SSO and no serum (control) , the inhibitor completely blocked the cell growth induced by the fed-serum (2% 1 DPF), indicating that indeed the fatty acids present in the fed serum are key to induce growth in cardiac cells.
- the total amount of free fatty acid was determined by the sum of all species detected at each time point and the composition of the python plasma fatty acids is presented here as averaged percentage of each individual FFA from the total amount at a given time point.

- CI 2 and CI 6: 1 were the FFA species that stood out, showing an increase of 4, 6 and 4 times their percentage from total, respectively ( Figures 9 and 10).
- Aquaporin 7 expression is highly induced by fatty acid treatment.
- lipids extracted from whole plasma recapitulated the hypertrophic effect induced in cardiomyocytes in culture supplemented with python plasma.
- a microarray analysis was performed on cells treated with fasted and fed python plasma.
- One of the genes that was highly up-regulated in cardiomyocytes that were fed plasma is aquaporin 7 (Aqp7), a transmembrane protein of the family of aqua/glycerol pore proteins.
- Aqp7 is up-regulated in other animal models of physiologic hypertrophy such as exercise training and pregnancy in mice ( Figure 13).
- Aqp7 is down- regulated in pathologic hypertrophy such as mice with genetic heart disease or aortic banding ( Figure 13).
- C14, C16, and C16: l were evaluated to determine if their induction of hypertrophy was also associated with the induction of Aqp7.
- cardiomyocytes cultured in the presence of fasted serum, fed serum, or fasted serum supplemented with FFAs were analyzed by qPCR in order to quantitate changes in Aqp7 mR A levels upon each experimental condition ( Figure 14).
- Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were treated with fasted python serum alone, fasted python serum supplemented with 1 DPF levels of C14 (40 ⁇ ), C16 (137 ⁇ ), and C16: l (7.5 ⁇ ), or fasted python serum supplemented with the fatty acids individually (C14: 10, 33, or 100 ⁇ ; C16: 33, 100, or 300 ⁇ ; C16: l : 3, 10, or 33 ⁇ ). Fasted serum (2% final) and fatty acids were diluted in serum- free media (MEM/Hepes/PB12) containing insulin, transferrin, BSA, and BrdU. Cells were treated for 48 hours and AQP7 mRNA expression was determined using qPCR with 18S as the normalizing gene.

- Target sequence #3 was determined to be the most effective in reducing endogenous AQP7 mRNA expression in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.
- a nonspecific siRNA ⁇ Silencer Negative Control #2; Ambion, Inc., Austin, TX) was used as a negative control.
- Infusion volumes were 500 ⁇ L per infusion.

- the molar ratio of 6: 16: 1 the molar ratio of myristic, palmitic, and palmitoleic found in fasted pythons (i.e., 3uM myristic, 37uM palmitic, and 1.2uM palmitoleic) was subtracted from the molar ratio found in fed pythons at 1 DPF.
- the resulting molar ratio was 37uM myristic, lOOuM palmitic, and 6.3uM palmitoleic (6: 16: 1) was considered the corrected fed molar ratio.
- Boluses 0.5 mL) of python plasma (fasted or fed [2 DPF]), bovine serum albumin (BSA; 10% in physiological saline), or the 6: 16: 1 mixture of myristic, palmitic, and palmitoleic were infused through surgically implanted catheters at 12-hr intervals into the hepatic vein of pythons over a 48-hr period (4 infusions per snake). Plasma originated from snakes that were siblings to those infused.
- Catheters were implanted under isofluorane anesthesia cranial to the liver and exteriorized through an opening in the body wall. Snakes typically recovered from anesthesia within 30 min and were then maintained at a constant 30°C until dissection and tissue collection.
- ALZET® mini-osmotic pumps (Model 2001 , Durect Corporation, Cupertino, CA, USA) containing either BSA (10% in sterile saline), the 6: 16: 1 mixture of C14:0, C16:0, and C16: l described above, or a control mixture of C18: l , C18:2, and C20:4, in the 1 DPF molar ratio (27:40: 1) were implanted subcutaneously in mice under inhaled isofluorane anesthesia. Pumps delivered 1 ⁇ L per hour for 7 days; mice were sacrificed on the 7th day after implantation.
- the postprandial python heart demonstrated an atypical pattern of gene expression, with increased expression of both SERCA2 and a-skeletal actin mR A, as well as a progressive increase in both MYH7 ( ⁇ -MyHC) and a less-characterized striated muscle myosin heavy chain gene, MYH15 which is also the predominant MyHC isoform expressed in the chicken heart (Figure 23A-C) (Rossi et ah, 2010).
- Western blot analyses revealed increased phosphorylation of AMPK, Akt, GSK3 , and mTOR during the postprandial period ( Figure 21D and Figure 24 A-D), indicating robust activation of protein synthetic pathways in the postprandial python heart.
- RVMs neonatal rat ventricular myocytes
- Fasted and post-fed python plasma was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and observed a highly complex composition of circulating fatty acids with distinct patterns of abundance over the course of digestion (Figure 37).
- 5 candidate fatty acids were selected for further analysis, and it was determined that supplementing fasted python plasma with the 1 DPF molar ratio of C14:0 (myristic acid), C16:0 (palmitic acid), and C16: ln7 (palmitoleic acid), corrected for the fasted levels of these fatty acids to arrive at a molar ratio of 6: 16: 1 , effectively recapitulated the increase in NRVM cell diameter seen with 1 DPF plasma (Figure 38).
- palmitoleic acid combined with increased oxidative capacity and free-radical scavenging capacity may act to reduce the generation of toxic, pro-apoptotic intermediates such as ceramide and reactive oxygen species, and enhance the activity of cardioprotective pathways such as triglyceride biosynthesis and ⁇ -oxidation (Miller et al, 2005; de Vries et al , 1997; Hickson-Bick et al, 2000).
- the inventors also administered a mixture of oleic (C18: l), linoleic (C18:2), and arachidonic (C20:4) acid in the molar ratio observed in the 1 DPF python and saw no evidence of cardiac hypertrophy ( Figure 42B), indicating that the pro-hypertrophic effects were specific to the mixture of myristic, palmitic, and palmitoleic acid.
- palmitoleic acid has previously been characterized as a lipokine that can modulate systemic insulin sensitivity (Cao et ah, 2008).
- fatty acid ethanolamides have been described as potent regulators of energy intake, and levels of the palmitoleic acid ethanolamide, palmitoleoylethanolamide (and other FAEs), are dramatically increased in the fed python gastrointestinal tract (Astarita et ah, 2006). Together, these data suggested multiple roles for palmitoleic acid and its metabolites in the regulation of insulin sensitivity, organ size, cardiac metabolism, and energy balance (Cao et ah , 2008; Astarita et ah, 2006; van der Lee et ah, 2000).
- mice were fed a test diet that included 40% fat for 3 weeks, then administered fatty acids or control BSA for one week (Figure 45).
- ALZET® mini-osmotic pumps (Model 2001 , Durect Corporation, Cupertino, CA, USA) containing either BSA (10% in sterile saline) or the 6: 16: 1 mixture of C14:0, C16:0, and CI 6: 1 A were implanted subcutaneously in mice under anesthesia. Pumps delivered BSA or FA for 7 days, and mice were sacrificed on the 7 th day post-implantation.
- mice fed the high fat diet significantly increased compared to control mice ( Figure 45), similar to previous studies in which mice were fed a typical laboratory diet.
- fatty acid supplementation may provide a new mechanism for modulating cardiac gene expression and function in mammals, and that such interventions could augment cardiac performance in the context of human disease.
- Example 9 Aortic banding in mice administered FAs
- the following prophetic example provides a proposed study wherein the effects of FAs in a murine model of aortic banding will be determined. This prophetic example is intended to illustrate the principles of the present invention.
- compositions disclosed herein will be assessed using a mouse model of aortic banding wherein the transverse aorta is surgically constricted.
- a molar ratio of 6: 16: 1 myristic:palmitic:palmitoleic will be administered intravenously, orally, or via a mini-osmotic pump to animals beginning either prior to surgical constriction of the aorta in order to assess the preventative effect of the compositions, or following surgical constriction.
- the FAs will be administered once per day for 6-10 weeks. Animals from each group will be sacrificed periodically in order to make the following assessments.
- Cardiac function will be assessed by measuring arterial pressure; cardiac morphology will be determined by echnocardiography; gene expression particularly for pathological markers, AQP7, oxidative capacity, and free radical scavengering machinery will be assessed by PCR; off-target toxicity profiling (liver, skeletal muscle) will be performed by histology; and systemic toxicity profiling including serum/plasma analysis will be conducted.
- a formulation comprising a myristic, palmitic, and palmitoleic acid composition described herein, suitable for oral administration may be administered to a subject at risk of congestive heart failure. Indications of risk of congestive heart failure are known, and may include high blood pressure.
- the formulations disclosed herein may be administered as a preventative measure against cardiovascular events in a subject at risk thereof, or may be administered to treat cardiac hypertrophy that is already underway in the subject.
- the subject may additionally be administered other therapeutic agents for heart failure prior to, concurrent with, or subsequent to administration of the fatty acid composition.
