Intracellular Ca2+-calmodulin (CaM) signaling plays an important role in Ca2+-CaM-dependent kinase (CaMKII) and calcineurin (CaN)-mediated cardiac biology. While neurogranin (Ng) is known as a major Ca2+-CaM modulator in the brain, its pathophysiological role in cardiac hypertrophy has never been studied before. In the present study, we report that Ng is expressed in the heart and depletion of Ng dysregulates Ca2+ homeostasis and promotes cardiac failure in mice. 10-month-old Ng null mice demonstrate significantly increased heart-to-body weight ratios compared to wild-type. Using histological approaches, we identified that depletion of Ng increases cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and collagen deposition near perivascular areas in the heart tissue of Ng null mice. Ca2+ spark experiments revealed that cardiac myocytes isolated from Ng null mice have decreased spark frequency and width, while the duration of sparks is significantly increased. We also identified that a lack of Ng increases CaMKIIδ signaling and periostin protein expression in these mouse hearts. Overall, we are the first study to explore how Ng expression in the heart plays an important role in Ca2+ homeostasis in cardiac myocytes as well as the pathophysiology of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis.

Mallory-Denk bodies (MDBs) consist of intracellular aggregates of misfolded proteins in ballooned hepatocytes and serve as important markers of progression in certain liver diseases. Resident hepatic macrophage-mediated inflammation influences the development of chronic liver diseases and cancer. Here, the first systematic study of macrophages heterogeneity in mice was conducted to illustrate the pathogenesis of MDB formation using single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq). Furthermore, we provided transcriptional profiles of macrophages obtained from the fractionation of mouse liver tissues following chronic injury. We equally identified seven discrete macrophage subpopulations, each involved in specific cellular activated pathways such as basal metabolism, immune regulation, angiogenesis, and cell cycle regulation. Among these, a specific macrophage cluster (Cluster4), a subpopulation specifically expressing genes that regulate cell division and the cell cycle, was identified. Interestingly, we found that CCR2 was significantly induced in Cluster2, thereby inducing monocytes to migrate to macrophages to promote MDB pathogenesis. Thus, our study is the first to demonstrate the heterogeneity of macrophages associated with liver MDB formation in mice through single-cell resolution. This serves as the basis for further insights into the pathogenesis of liver MDB formation and molecular mechanisms of chronic liver disease progression.
