Critical role of the NAD(P)H oxidase subunit p47phox for left ventricular remodeling/dysfunction and survival after myocardial infarction
Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests a critical role of increased reactive oxygen species production for left ventricular (LV) remodeling and dysfunction after myocardial infarction (MI). An increased myocardial activity of the NAD(P)H oxidase, a major oxidant enzyme system, has been observed in human heart failure; however, the role of the NAD(P)H oxidase for LV remodeling and dysfunction after MI remains to be determined. MI was induced in wild-type (WT) mice (n=46) and mice lacking the cytosolic NAD(P)H oxidase component p47(phox) (p47(phox)-/- mice) (n=32). Infarct size was similar among the groups. NAD(P)H oxidase activity was markedly increased in remote LV myocardium of WT mice after MI as compared with sham-operated mice (83+/-8 versus 16.7+/-3.5 nmol of O(2)(-) x microg(-1) x min(-1); P<0.01) but not in p47(phox)-/- mice after MI (13.5+/-3.6 versus 15.5+/-3.5 nmol of O(2)(-) x microg(-1) x min(-1)), as assessed by electron-spin resonance spectroscopy using the spin probe CP-H. Furthermore, increased myocardial xanthine oxidase activity was observed in WT, but not in p47(phox)-/- mice after MI, suggesting NAD(P)H oxidase-dependent xanthine oxidase activation. Myocardial reactive oxygen species production was increased in WT mice, but not in p47(phox)-/- mice, after MI. LV cavity dilatation and dysfunction 4 weeks after MI were markedly attenuated in p47(phox)-/- mice as compared with WT mice, as assessed by echocardiography (LV end-diastolic diameter: 4.5+/-0.2 versus 6.3+/-0.3 mm, P<0.01; LV ejection fraction, 35.8+/-2.5 versus 22.6+/-4.4%, P<0.05). Furthermore, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, apoptosis, and interstitial fibrosis were substantially reduced in p47(phox)-/- mice as compared with WT mice. Importantly, the survival rate was markedly higher in p47(phox)-/- mice as compared with WT mice after MI (72% versus 48%; P<0.05). These results suggest a pivotal role of NAD(P)H oxidase activation and its subunit p47(phox) for LV remodeling/dysfunction and survival after MI. The NAD(P)H oxidase system represents therefore a potential novel therapeutic target to prevent cardiac failure after MI.
