T cell Mineralocorticoid Receptor Deficiency Attenuates Pathological Ventricular Remodeling After Myocardial Infarction
Previous ArticleQuality of Coronary Care: Reducing Practice Variability
Next ArticleNew Developments in Continuous Hemodynamic Monitoring of the Critically Ill Patient

      Abstract

      Background

      Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists have been widely used to treat heart failure (HF). Studies have shown that MR in T cells plays important roles in hypertension and myocardial hypertrophy. However, the function of T cell MR in myocardial infarction (MI) has not been elucidated.

      Methods

      In this study, we used T cell MR knockout (TMRKO) mouse to investigate the impacts of T cell MR deficiency on MI and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Echocardiography and tissue staining were used to assess cardiac function, fibrosis, and myocardial apoptosis after MI. Flow cytometry and qRT-PCR were used to detect immune cell filtration and inflammation.

      Results

      T cell MR deficiency significantly improved cardiac function, promoted myocardial repair, and inhibited myocardial apoptosis, fibrosis and inflammation after MI. Luminex assays revealed that TMRKO mice had significantly lower levels of interferon-gamma and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum and infarcted myocardium than littermate control mice. In cultured splenic T cells, MR deficiency suppressed IL-6 expression whereas MR overexpression enhanced IL-6 expression. ChIP assay demonstrated that MR bound to the MR response element on the promoter of IL-6 gene. Finally, T cell MR deficiency significantly suppressed accumulation of macrophages in infarcted myocardium and differentiation of pro-inflammatory macrophages, thereby alleviating the consequences of MI.

      Conclusions

      T cell MR deficiency improved pathological ventricular remodeling after MI, likely through inhibition of accumulation and differentiation of pro-inflammatory macrophages. At the molecular level, MR may work through interferon-gamma and IL-6 in T cells to exert functions in MI.
