Downregulation of adenine nucleotide translocator 1 exacerbates tumor necrosis factor-α-mediated cardiac inflammatory responses.

چکیده
Inflammation contributes significantly to cardiac dysfunction. Although the initial phase of inflammation is essential for repair and healing, excessive proinflammatory cytokines are detrimental to the heart. We found that adenine nucleotide translocator isoform-1 (ANT1) protein levels were significantly decreased in the inflamed heart of C57BL/6 mice following cecal ligation and puncture. To understand the molecular mechanisms involved, we performed small-interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of ANT1 and studied tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα)-induced inflammatory responses in myocardium-derived H9c2 cells and cardiomyocytes. ANT1 knockdown significantly increased swollen mitochondria and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, concomitant with increased TNFα-induced NF-κB reporter gene activity and interleukin-6 and TNFα expression. A mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant mito-TEMPO attenuated TNFα-induced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, NF-κB reporter gene activity, and cytokine expression in ANT1 knockdown cells. Interestingly, TNFα or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment significantly decreased ANT1 protein levels, suggesting a feed-forward regulation of proinflammatory cytokine expression activated by ANT1 downregulation. These data suggest that ANT1 downregulation contributes to cardiac inflammation post-cecal ligation and puncture. Preventing ANT1 downregulation could provide a novel molecular target to temper cardiac inflammation.

Objective(s): It is generally believed that the inflammatory response in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation leads to poor survival and unsatisfactory effects, and is mainly mediated by cytokines, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). In this study, we explored the mechanisms underlying the TNF-α-induced inflammatory ...
