Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the role and mechanism of MAPK14/AIFM2 pathway in Ang II-induced atrial fibrillation in rats.
Methods: A rat model of AF was established for in vivo experiments and HL-1 cells were treated with Ang II to develop an in vitro model. In addition, HL1 cells overexpressing AIFM2 (oeAIFM2) were constructed. SB203580 was used to inhibit the expression of MAPK14. The role of MAPK14 in Ang II-AF model was investigated by in vivo electrophysiological examination and molecular biology tests. The role of MAPK14 / AIFM2 pathway on AF induced by Ang II was explored in vitro.
Results: MAPK14 and AIFM2 were significantly up-regulated in AF induced by Ang II (all P < 0.05). In vivo experiments indicated that inhibition of MAPK14 down-regulated AIFM2, improved atrial electrical conduction, AF inducibility and durations, and alleviated the structural and functional damage of heart and mitochondria (all P < 0.05). Both in vivo and in vitro tests showed that the MAPK14/AIFM2 pathway prevented Ang II-induced AF via regulating mitophagy-dependent apoptosis.
Conclusions: Inhibition of the MAPK14/AIFM2 pathway improved Ang II-induced AF by inhibiting mitophagy-dependent apoptosis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology publishes work advancing knowledge of the mechanisms responsible for both normal and diseased cardiovascular function. To this end papers are published in all relevant areas. These include (but are not limited to): structural biology; genetics; proteomics; morphology; stem cells; molecular biology; metabolism; biophysics; bioengineering; computational modeling and systems analysis; electrophysiology; pharmacology and physiology. Papers are encouraged with both basic and translational approaches. The journal is directed not only to basic scientists but also to clinical cardiologists who wish to follow the rapidly advancing frontiers of basic knowledge of the heart and circulation.
