| 摘要 |
Suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in mammals functions as the master circadian pacemaker that coordinates temporal organization of physiological processes with the environmental light/dark cycles. But the causative links between SCN and cardiovascular diseases, specifically the reparative responses after myocardial infarction (MI), remain largely unknown. In this study we disrupted mouse SCN function to investigate the role of SCN in cardiac dysfunction post-MI. Bilateral ablation of the SCN (SCNx) was generated in mice by electrical lesion; myocardial infarction was induced via ligation of the mid-left anterior descending artery (LAD); cardiac function was assessed using echocardiography. We showed that SCN ablation significantly alleviated MI-induced cardiac dysfunction and cardiac fibrosis, and promoted angiogenesis. RNA sequencing revealed differentially expressed genes in the heart of SCNx mice from D0 to D3 post-MI, which were functionally associated with the inflammatory response and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. Notably, the expression levels of insulin-like growth factor 2 (Igf2) in the heart and serum IGF2 concentration were significantly elevated in SCNx mice on D3 post-MI. Stimulation of murine peritoneal macrophages in vitro with serum isolated from SCNx mice on D3 post-MI accelerated the transition of anti-inflammatory macrophages, while antibody-mediated neutralization of IGF2 receptor blocked the macrophage transition toward the anti-inflammatory phenotype in vitro as well as the corresponding cardioprotective effects observed in SCNx mice post-MI. In addition, disruption of mouse SCN function by exposure to a desynchronizing condition (constant light) caused similar protective effects accompanied by elevated IGF2 expression on D3 post-MI. Finally, mice deficient in the circadian core clock genes (Ckm-cre; Bmal1(f/f) mice or Per1/2 double knockout) did not lead to increased serum IGF2 concentration and showed no protective roles in post-MI, suggesting that the cardioprotective effect observed in this study was mediated particularly by the SCN itself, but not by self-sustained molecular clock. Together, we demonstrate that inhibition of SCN function promotes Igf2 expression, which leads to macrophage transition and improves cardiac repair post-MI. |
