Effects of MEK5/ERK5 Association on Small Ubiquitin-Related Modification of ERK5: Implications for Diabetic Ventricular Dysfunction After Myocardial Infarction
Abstract:Abstract-Diabetes mellitus (DM) contributes to the exacerbation of left ventricle (LV) dysfunction after myocardial infarction (MI). Activation of ERK5, an atypical mitogen activated protein kinase with transcriptional activity, inhibits apoptosis and LV dysfunction after doxorubicin treatment. SUMOylation has been proposed as a negative regulator of various transcription factors. In the current study, we investigated the role of ERK5-SUMOylation in ERK5 transcriptional activity as well as on DM-mediated exace… Show more
“…ERK5 is an atypical mitogen-activated protein kinase functioning as a transcriptional co-activator for PPARs and MEF2 in the heart. [95][96][97] SUMOylation of ERK5, which is strongly induced in diabetic animals, dampens its transcriptional activity. In diabetic mice, this was linked to ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction.…”

“…In diabetic mice, this was linked to ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction. 96 Acetylation/deacetylation represents a different way to regulate the activity of PPARs and PGC-1α. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), an NAD + -dependent histone deacetylase (HDAC), plays an important role in cardiac metabolism.…”
SUMOylation is a transient and reversible PTM in which SUMO proteins are conjugated to lysine residues of target proteins. 8,9 In human, 4 SUMO isoforms (SUMO1, 2, 3, and 4) have been identified to date, which share a common

“…However, these geometric changes were attenuated in MK-KO mice when compared with those observed in WT mice (Table S1). We also performed terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling staining and Masson trichrome staining to evaluate the degree of apoptosis 26 and fibrosis 27 occurring in the heart after nephrectomy. However, no significant differences in the degrees of apoptosis and fibrosis between MK-KO and WT mice were observed ( Figure S6).…”

“…In patients with CKD, the most frequently observed type of cardiac remodeling is left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH). 2,3 LVH is a powerful risk factor of morbidity and mortality 4 because chronic LVH eventually results in LV dysfunction. 5 LV dysfunction reduces blood supply to the kidney and deteriorates renal functions.…”
Abstract-In chronic kidney disease, activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) leads to cardiac hypertrophy, which affects morbidity and mortality. In patients with renal insufficiency and heart failure, the expression of midkine, a heparin-binding growth factor, is increased. Therefore, we investigated the association between midkine and EGFR in the induction of cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction in chronic kidney disease. We performed subtotal nephrectomies in midkine-knockout mice and wild-type mice. We found that subtotal nephrectomy-induced cardiac hypertrophy and phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and AKT were attenuated in midkine-knockout mice compared with wild-type mice. An antiphosphotyrosine receptor antibody array was used to demonstrate that EGFR phosphorylation in the heart was also lower in midkine-knockout mice than in wild-type mice. Midkine induced EGFR, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, and AKT phosphorylation and led to hypertrophy in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Pretreatment with EGFR inhibitors or EGFR silencing suppressed midkine-stimulated phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and AKT, induction of fetal cardiac gene expression, and hypertrophy in cardiomyocytes.To confirm the association between midkine and EGFR in vivo, mice subjected to subtotal nephrectomy were treated with the EGFR inhibitor gefitinib. Gefitinib treatment attenuated subtotal nephrectomy-induced cardiac hypertrophy. These results indicate that midkine might be a key mediator of cardiorenal interactions through EGFR activation, which plays a crucial role in cardiac hypertrophy in chronic kidney disease.

Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is the result of a prolonged increase in the workload of the heart that activates various signaling pathways such as MAPK pathway, PKA‐dependent cAMP signaling, and CaN‐NFAT signaling pathway which further activates genes for cardiac remodeling. Various signalosomes are present in the heart that regulates the signaling of physiological and pathological cardiac hypertrophy. mAKAPβ is one such scaffold protein that regulates signaling pathways involved in promoting cardiac hypertrophy. It is present in the outer nuclear envelope of the cardiomyocytes, which provides specificity of the target toward the heart. In addition, nuclear translocation of signaling components and transcription factors such as MEF2D, NFATc, and HIF‐1α is facilitated due to the localization of mAKAPβ near the nuclear envelope. These factors are required for activation of genes promoting cardiac remodeling. Downregulation of mAKAPβ improves cardiac function and attenuates cardiac hypertrophy which in turn prevents the development of heart failure. Unlike earlier therapies for heart failure, knockout or silencing of mAKAPβ is not associated with side effects because of its high specificity in the striated myocytes. Downregulating expression of mAKAPβ is a favorable therapeutic approach toward attenuating cardiac hypertrophy and hence preventing heart failure. This review discusses mAKAPβ signalosome as a potential target for cardiac hypertrophy intervention.
