Heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) is known to provide myocardial protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury by its chaperoning function. Target molecules of this effect are presumed to include not only structural proteins but also other self-preservation proteins. The details, however, remain unknown. Manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) is an enzyme that preserves mitochondria, a key organelle for cellular respiration, from reperfusion injury and limits mitochondria-related apoptosis. We hypothesized that Mn-SOD would play a role in HSP72-mediated cardioprotection.
Rat hearts were transfected with human HSP72 by intra-coronary infusion of Hemagglutinating Virus of Japan-liposome, resulting in global myocardial overexpression of HSP72. After ischemia-reperfusion injury, cardiac function (left ventricular systolic pressure, maximum dP/dt, minimum dP/dt, and coronary flow) was improved in the HSP72-transfected hearts compared with control-transfected ones, corresponding with less leakage of creatine kinase and mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase. Postischemic Mn-SOD content and activity in the HSP72-transfected hearts were enhanced in comparison with the controls (content: 96.9+/-4.1 versus 85.5+/-2.5% to the preischemic level, P=0.038; activity: 93.9+/-2.2 versus 82.2+/-3.7%, P=0.022), associated with improved mitochondrial respiratory function (postischemic percent respiratory control index; NAD(+)-linked: 81.3+/-3.8 versus 18.5+/-4.4%; FAD-linked: 71.8+/-5.5 versus 20.7+/-5.3%, P<0.001). In addition, incidence of postischemic cardiomyocyte apoptosis was attenuated in the HSP72-transfected hearts (4.0+/-1.1 versus 10.3+/-3.3%, P=0.036), correlating with an increased Bcl-2 level and reduced up-regulation of caspase-3.
These data suggest that the enhanced Mn-SOD activity during ischemia-reperfusion injury, which is associated with mitochondrial protection and apoptosis reduction, is a possible mechanism of HSP72-induced cardioprotection.
热休克蛋白72(HSP72)通过其伴侣功能为心肌提供抗缺血再灌注损伤的保护作用。这种效应的靶分子推测不仅包括结构蛋白,还包括其他自我保护蛋白。然而,具体细节仍不清楚。锰超氧化物歧化酶(Mn-SOD)是一种保护线粒体(细胞呼吸的关键细胞器)免受再灌注损伤并限制线粒体相关凋亡的酶。我们假设Mn-SOD在HSP72介导的心脏保护中发挥作用。
通过冠状动脉内输注日本血凝病毒-脂质体将人HSP72转染到大鼠心脏,导致HSP72在全心肌中过表达。缺血再灌注损伤后,与对照转染的心脏相比,HSP72转染的心脏的心功能(左心室收缩压、最大dP/dt、最小dP/dt和冠状动脉血流量)得到改善,同时肌酸激酶和线粒体天冬氨酸转氨酶的漏出减少。与对照组相比,HSP72转染的心脏缺血后Mn-SOD含量和活性增强(含量:相对于缺血前水平为96.9±4.1%对85.5±2.5%,P=0.038;活性:93.9±2.2%对82.2±3.7%,P=0.022),这与线粒体呼吸功能改善相关(缺血后呼吸控制指数百分比;NAD(+)连接:81.3±3.8%对18.5±4.4%;FAD连接:71.8±5.5%对20.7±5.3%,P<0.001)。此外,HSP72转染的心脏缺血后心肌细胞凋亡发生率降低(4.0±1.1%对10.3±3.3%,P=0.036),这与Bcl-2水平升高和caspase-3上调减少相关。
这些数据表明,缺血再灌注损伤期间Mn-SOD活性增强,这与线粒体保护和凋亡减少相关,是HSP72诱导心脏保护的一种可能机制。
