Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Aims Fractalkine (FKN) is a newly identified membrane-bound chemokine, its role in myocardial ischemia and heart failure is largely unknown. We attempted to investigate the role of FKN in myocardial ischemia and ischemia or pressure overload-induced ventricular remodeling and heart failure. Methods and Results FKN-induced changes of heart failure-related genes in cultured rat cardiac cells and the effect of FKN on cultured cardiomyocyte injury during anoxia-reoxygenation were examined. The direct influence of FKN neutralization on heart failure and the potential mechanism was also investigated. In mice with failing hearts, myocardial FKN expression was correlated with the lung weight/body weight ratio, left ventricular fractional shortening, and BNP expression. In cultured rat cells, exposure to FKN increased ANP expression in cardiomyocytes, matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression in fibroblasts, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1expression in microvascular endothelial cells. FKN also promoted cardiomyocyte damage during anoxia-reoxygenation and neutralizing FKN antibody treatment improved heart failure induced by myocardial infarction or pressure overload. Neutralizing FKN or its receptor inhibited the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases in hypoxic cardiomyocytes or ischemic myocardium. Conclusion FKN promotes myocardial injury and promotes heart failure, which is associated with the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases.
