Abstract

The identification of novel drug targets is needed to improve the outcomes of heart failure (HF). G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest family of targets for already approved drugs, thus providing an opportunity for drug repurposing. Here, we aimed (i) to investigate the differential expressions of 288 cardiac GPCRs via droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and bulk RNA sequencing (RNAseq) in a rat model of left ventricular pressure-overload; (ii) to compare RNAseq findings with those of ddPCR; and (iii) to screen and test for novel, translatable GPCR drug targets in HF. Male Wistar rats subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC, = 5) showed significant systolic dysfunction vs. sham operated animals (SHAM, = 5) via echocardiography. In TAC vs. SHAM hearts, RNAseq identified 69, and ddPCR identified 27 significantly differentially expressed GPCR mRNAs, 8 of which were identified using both methods, thus showing a correlation between the two methods. Of these, Prostaglandin-F2α-receptor () was further investigated and localized on cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts in murine hearts via RNA-Scope. Antagonizing via AL-8810 reverted angiotensin-II-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in vitro. In conclusion, using ddPCR as a novel screening method, we were able to identify GPCR targets in HF. We also show that the antagonism of could be a novel target in HF by alleviating cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.

摘要

需要确定新的药物靶点,以改善心力衰竭 (HF) 的治疗效果。G 蛋白偶联受体 (GPCR) 是已批准药物的最大靶点家族,因此为药物再利用提供了机会。在这里,我们的目的是:(i) 通过液滴数字 PCR (ddPCR) 和批量 RNA 测序 (RNAseq) 来研究左心室压力超负荷大鼠模型中 288 种心脏 GPCR 的差异表达;(ii) 将 RNAseq 结果与 ddPCR 结果进行比较;(iii) 在 HF 中筛选和测试新的、可转化的 GPCR 药物靶点。接受横主动脉缩窄 (TAC) 的雄性 Wistar 大鼠通过超声心动图显示出明显的收缩功能障碍,与假手术动物 (SHAM) 相比。在 TAC 与 SHAM 心脏之间,RNAseq 鉴定出 69 个,ddPCR 鉴定出 27 个差异表达的 GPCR mRNA,其中 8 个使用两种方法鉴定,因此两种方法之间存在相关性。其中,前列腺素 F2α 受体 () 进一步通过 RNA-Scope 在小鼠心脏中的心肌细胞和成纤维细胞上进行了定位。通过拮抗 ,AL-8810 逆转了体外血管紧张素-II 诱导的心肌细胞肥大。总之,我们使用 ddPCR 作为一种新的筛选方法,成功鉴定出 HF 中的 GPCR 靶点。我们还表明,通过减轻心肌细胞肥大,拮抗 可能成为 HF 的一个新靶点。
