The anti-aging protein Klotho has been associated with cardiovascular health protection. Nevertheless, the protective mechanism remains unknown. The present study is aimed at exploring the effect of Klotho on cardiac remodeling and its potential mechanism in mice with myocardial infarction (MI). We used left anterior coronary artery descending ligation to develop an MI model for in vivo analyses. In contrast, H9C2 cells and cardiac fibroblasts were used to establish the oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model in in vitro analyses. In vivo and in vitro models were treated with Klotho. Compound C, an AMPK signaling inhibitor, was used to determine whether Klotho's effects are mediated through the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway. Echocardiography, Masson trichrome staining, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and western blot were used to detect the related indicators. The findings of the in vivo model indicate that Klotho treatment improved the mice's cardiac function, reduced cardiac fibrosis, and attenuated myocardial inflammatory factors, ferroptosis, and oxidative stress. The results of the in vitro model were in line with the findings of in vivo modeling. An AMPK inhibitor, Compound C, reversed all these effects. In conclusion, Klotho potentially improves cardiac remodeling in MI mice by regulating AMPK/mTOR signaling, demonstrating Klotho as an effective MI therapeutic agent.
抗衰老蛋白 Klotho 与心血管健康保护有关。然而,其保护机制尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨 Klotho 对心肌梗死后心肌重构的影响及其在小鼠中的潜在机制。我们使用左前降支冠状动脉结扎建立体内分析的心肌梗死模型。相比之下,H9C2 细胞和心肌成纤维细胞用于建立体外分析的氧葡萄糖剥夺 (OGD) 模型。体内和体外模型均用 Klotho 处理。使用 AMPK 信号抑制剂 Compound C 来确定 Klotho 的作用是否通过 AMPK/mTOR 信号通路介导。超声心动图、Masson 三色染色、免疫荧光、免疫组化、实时聚合酶链反应 (RT-PCR) 和 Western blot 用于检测相关指标。体内模型的结果表明,Klotho 治疗改善了小鼠的心脏功能,减少了心脏纤维化,并减轻了心肌炎症因子、铁死亡和氧化应激。体外模型的结果与体内建模的结果一致。AMPK 抑制剂 Compound C 逆转了所有这些作用。总之,Klotho 通过调节 AMPK/mTOR 信号潜在改善 MI 小鼠的心肌重构,表明 Klotho 是一种有效的 MI 治疗剂。
