    Abstract The cardiovascular system is capable of robust changes in response to physiologic and pathologic stimuli through intricate signaling mechanisms. The area of metabolism has witnessed a veritable renaissance in the cardiovascular system. In particular, the post-translational β-O-linkage of N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) to cellular proteins represents one such signaling pathway that has been implicated in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease. This highly dynamic protein modification may induce functional changes in proteins and regulate key cellular processes including translation, transcription, and cell death. In addition, its potential interplay with phosphorylation provides an additional layer of complexity to post-translational regulation. The hexosamine biosynthetic pathway generally requires glucose to form the nucleotide sugar, UDP-GlcNAc. Accordingly, O-GlcNAcylation may be altered in response to nutrient availability and cellular stress. Recent literature supports O-GlcNAcylation as an autoprotective response in models of acute stress (hypoxia, ischemia, oxidative stress). Models of sustained stress, such as pressure overload hypertrophy, and infarct-induced heart failure, may also require protein O-GlcNAcylation as a partial compensatory mechanism. Yet, in models of Type II diabetes, O-GlcNAcylation has been implicated in the subsequent development of vascular, and even cardiac, dysfunction. This review will address this apparent paradox and discuss the potential mechanisms of O-GlcNAc-mediated cardioprotection and cardiovascular dysfunction. This discussion will also address potential targets for pharmacologic interventions and the unique considerations related to such targets.

    Abstract Benzene is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant abundant in household products, petrochemicals, and cigarette smoke. Benzene is a well-known carcinogen in humans and experimental animals; however, little is known about the cardiovascular toxicity of benzene. Recent population-based studies indicate that benzene exposure is associated with an increased risk for heart failure. Nonetheless, it is unclear whether benzene exposure is sufficient to induce and/or exacerbate heart failure. We examined the effects of benzene (50 ppm, 6 h/day, 5 days/week, and 6 weeks) or high-efficiency particulate absorbing-filtered air exposure on transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-induced pressure overload in male C57BL/6J mice. Our data show that benzene exposure had no effect on cardiac function in the Sham group; however, it significantly compromised cardiac function as depicted by a significant decrease in fractional shortening and ejection fraction, as compared with TAC/Air-exposed mice. RNA-seq analysis of the cardiac tissue from the TAC/benzene-exposed mice showed a significant increase in several genes associated with adhesion molecules, cell-cell adhesion, inflammation, and stress response. In particular, neutrophils were implicated in our unbiased analyses. Indeed, immunofluorescence studies showed that TAC/benzene exposure promotes infiltration of CD11b+/S100A8+/myeloperoxidase+-positive neutrophils in the hearts by 3-fold. In vitro, the benzene metabolites, hydroquinone, and catechol, induced the expression of P-selectin in cardiac microvascular endothelial cells by 5-fold and increased the adhesion of neutrophils to these endothelial cells by 1.5- to 2.0-fold. Benzene metabolite-induced adhesion of neutrophils to the endothelial cells was attenuated by anti-P-selectin antibody. Together, these data suggest that benzene exacerbates heart failure by promoting endothelial activation and neutrophil recruitment.

    Abstract In patients with a ventricular assist device (VAD), diminished high-molecular-weight von Willebrand factor (vWF) multimers may contribute to a bleeding diathesis. The mechanistic pathway(s) of vWF degradation and the role of ADAMTS-13, the vWF-cleaving metalloproteinase, are unknown. The objective of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms of VAD-induced vWF impairment in an in vitro system.Simple, mock circulatory loops (n = 4) were developed with a clinically approved, paracorporeal continuous-flow VAD. The loops were primed with anticoagulated, whole bovine blood (750 ml). The VAD was operated at constant blood flow and pressure. Blood samples were drawn at baseline and hourly for 6 hours. vWF multimers and ADAMTS-13 protein were quantified by agarose and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with immunoblotting. Plasma platelet factor 4 (PF4), a marker of platelet activation, was quantified via ELISA.Within 120 minutes, high-molecular-weight vWF multimers decreased, and low-molecular-weight multimers increased. Multiple low-molecular-weight vWF fragments emerged (~140, 176, 225, and 310 kDa). Total plasma ADAMTS-13 increased by 13 ± 3% (p < 0.05). Plasma PF4 increased by 21 ± 7% (p = 0.05).During VAD support, vWF degradation occurred quickly. Multiple mechanisms were responsible and included vWF cleavage by ADAMTS-13 (140 and 176 kDa fragments), and what may have been mechanical demolition of endogenous plasma vWF (225 kDa fragments) and nascent vWF (225 and 310 kDa fragments) from platelets. A modest increase in plasma ADAMTS-13 from activated platelets may have contributed to this process but was not the major mechanism. Mechanical demolition was likely the dominant process and warrants further evaluation.

    Abstract Coenzyme A (CoA) is an essential cofactor required for intermediary metabolism. Perturbations in homeostasis of CoA have been implicated in various pathologies; however, whether CoA homeostasis is changed and the extent to which CoA levels contribute to ventricular function and remodeling during pressure overload has not been explored. In this study, we sought to assess changes in CoA biosynthetic pathway during pressure overload and determine the impact of limiting CoA on cardiac function. We limited cardiac CoA levels by deleting the rate-limiting enzyme in CoA biosynthesis, pantothenate kinase 1 (

    Abstract Protein O-GlcNAcylation, which is controlled by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA), has emerged as an important posttranslational modification that may factor in multiple diseases. Until recently, it was assumed that OGT/OGA protein expression was relatively constant. Several groups, including ours, have shown that OGT and/or OGA expression changes in several pathologic contexts, yet the cis and trans elements that regulate the expression of these enzymes remain essentially unexplored. Here, we used a reporter-based assay to analyze minimal promoters and leveraged in silico modeling to nominate several candidate transcription factor binding sites in both Ogt (i.e. the gene for OGT protein) and Mgea5 (i.e. the gene for OGA protein). We noted multiple E2F binding site consensus sequences in both promoters. We performed chromatin immunoprecipitation in both human and mouse cells and found that E2F1 bound to candidate E2F binding sites in both promoters. In HEK293 cells, we overexpressed E2F1, which significantly reduced OGT and MGEA5 expression. Conversely, E2F1-deficient mouse fibroblasts had increased Ogt and Mgea5 expression. Of the known binding partners for E2F1, we queried whether retinoblastoma 1 (Rb1) might be involved. Rb1-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts showed increased levels of Ogt and Mgea5 expression, yet overexpression of E2F1 in the Rb1-deficient cells did not alter Ogt and Mgea5 expression, suggesting that Rb1 is required for E2F1-mediated suppression. In conclusion, this work identifies and validates some of the promoter elements for mouse Ogt and Mgea5 genes. Specifically, E2F1 negatively regulates both Ogt and Mgea5 expression in an Rb1 protein-dependent manner.

    Abstract Rationale: The beta-O-linkage of N-acetylglucosamine (i.e., O-GlcNAc) to proteins is a pro-adaptive response to cellular insults. To this end, increased protein O-GlcNAcylation improves short-term survival of cardiomyocytes subjected to acute injury. This observation has been repeated by multiple groups and in multiple models; however, whether increased protein O-GlcNAcylation plays a beneficial role in more chronic settings remains an open question.
    Objective: Here, we queried whether increasing levels of cardiac protein O-GlcNAcylation would be beneficial during infarct-induced heart failure.
    Methods and results: To achieve increased protein O-GlcNAcylation, we targeted Oga, the gene responsible for removing O-GlcNAc from proteins. Here, we generated mice with cardiomyocyte-restricted, tamoxifen-inducible haploinsufficient Oga gene. In the absence of infarction, we observed a slight reduction in ejection fraction in Oga deficient mice. Overall, Oga reduction had no major impact on ventricular function. In additional cohorts, mice of both sexes and both genotypes were subjected to infarct-induced heart failure and followed for up to four weeks, during which time cardiac function was assessed via echocardiography. Contrary to our prediction, the Oga deficient mice exhibited exacerbated-not improved-cardiac function at one week following infarction. When the observation was extended to 4 wk post-MI, this acute exacerbation was lost.
    Conclusions: The present findings, coupled with our previous work, suggest that altering the ability of cardiomyocytes to either add or remove O-GlcNAc modifications to proteins exacerbates early infarct-induced heart failure. We speculate that more nuanced approaches to regulating O-GlcNAcylation are needed to understand its role-and, in particular, the possibility of cycling, in the pathophysiology of the failing heart.

    Abstract Pathological cardiac remodeling during heart failure is associated with higher levels of lipid peroxidation products and lower abundance of several aldehyde detoxification enzymes, including aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2). An emerging idea that could explain these findings concerns the role of electrophilic species in redox signaling, which may be important for adaptive responses to stress or injury. The purpose of this study was to determine whether genetically increasing ALDH2 activity affects pressure overload-induced cardiac dysfunction. Mice subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC) for 12 weeks developed myocardial hypertrophy and cardiac dysfunction, which were associated with diminished ALDH2 expression and activity. Cardiac-specific expression of the human ALDH2 gene in mice augmented myocardial ALDH2 activity but did not improve cardiac function in response to pressure overload. After 12 weeks of TAC, ALDH2 transgenic mice had larger hearts than their wild-type littermates and lower capillary density. These findings show that overexpression of ALDH2 augments the hypertrophic response to pressure overload and imply that downregulation of ALDH2 may be an adaptive response to certain forms of cardiac pathology.

    Abstract Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is associated with the accumulation of lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes such as 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal (HNE) and acrolein in the heart. These aldehydes are metabolized via several pathways, of which aldose reductase (AR) represents a broad-specificity route for their elimination. We tested the hypothesis that by preventing aldehyde removal, AR deficiency accentuates the pathological effects of transverse aortic constriction (TAC). We found that the levels of AR in the heart were increased in mice subjected to TAC for 2 weeks. In comparison with wild-type (WT), AR-null mice showed lower ejection fraction, which was exacerbated 2 weeks after TAC. Levels of atrial natriuretic peptide and myosin heavy chain were higher in AR-null than in WT TAC hearts. Deficiency of AR decreased urinary levels of the acrolein metabolite, 3-hydroxypropylmercapturic acid. Deletion of AR did not affect the levels of the other aldehyde-metabolizing enzyme - aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 in the heart, or its urinary product - (N-Acetyl-S-(2-carboxyethyl)-l-cystiene). AR-null hearts subjected to TAC showed increased accumulation of HNE- and acrolein-modified proteins, as well as increased AMPK phosphorylation and autophagy. Superfusion with HNE led to a greater increase in p62, LC3II formation, and GFP-LC3-II punctae formation in AR-null than WT cardiac myocytes. Pharmacological inactivation of JNK decreased HNE-induced autophagy in AR-null cardiac myocytes. Collectively, these results suggest that during hypertrophy the accumulation of lipid peroxidation derived aldehydes promotes pathological remodeling via excessive autophagy, and that metabolic detoxification of these aldehydes by AR may be essential for maintaining cardiac function during early stages of pressure overload.
