Abstract
Introduction
Coronary artery disease, which caused >9 million deaths in 2016, is a leading cause of death worldwide (1). Early reperfusion therapy is the most effective strategy in the treatment of myocardial infarction, a common type of coronary artery disease (2). However, the process of reperfusion can induce myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MIR) injury, a complex pathophysiological process that involves oxidative stress, Ca2+ overload and inflammatory response (3,4), eventually leading to programmed cell death of cardiomyocytes (5–7). In order to improve the beneficial effects of reperfusion therapy, it is necessary to develop powerful and safe drugs for the treatment for MIR injury.
Chinese herbal medicine has been used in the treatment of MIR injury for hundreds of years (8). Numerous herbal formulas have been determined to protect cardiomyocytes from MIR injury (9–11). Zenglv Fumai Granule (ZFG), a clinical discovery by Professor Yu Zuo-Ying, has been used in the treatment of sick sinus syndrome for >30 years (12). Sick sinus syndrome is a disorder characterized by abnormal heart rhythms due to the malfunction of the sinus node (13). Our previous study revealed that ZFG decreases clinical symptoms and improves heart rate in patients with sick sinus syndrome (12). A previous study demonstrated that sick sinus syndrome is associated with MIR injury (14). Therefore, it was hypothesized that ZFG may also serve a protective role against MIR injury.
Tripartite interaction motif (TRIM) proteins are a class of E3 ubiquitin ligases that contain a ring-finger domain, one or two B-boxes and a coiled-coil region at the amino-terminal region (15). They function via the regulation of protein degradation by ubiquitination, and are thereby involved in numerous biological processes, such as proliferation and apoptosis (16). Previous studies have revealed that TRIM proteins are key regulators in MIR injury (17,18). For example, TRIM6 aggravates MIR injury by inducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis (17) and TRIM59 alleviates MIR injury via the inhibition of myocardial apoptosis and inflammatory response (18). A recent study demonstrated aberrant expression levels of multiple TRIM proteins in the heart during myocardial infarction, including TRIM7, TRIM14, TRIM22 and TRIM28 (19); however, it is unclear whether they serve a role in MIR injury.
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of ZFG on MIR-induced myocardial apoptosis, and to determine whether it functions via the regulation of TRIM proteins. An in vitro MIR injury model was established by treating human cardiomyocyte cell line AC16 with hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). Using this model, the hypothesis that ZFG had a protective role in MIR injury by regulating the TRIM28/GPX1 axis was tested.
Materials and methods
Extraction of ZFG
ZFG consists of eight types of herbal medicines, including Panax ginseng (radix), Astragalus propinquus (radix), Cinnamomum cassia (ramulus), Epimedium brevicornum (aerial part), Polygonatum sibiricum (rhizoma), Salvia miltiorrhiza (radix), Ligusticum chuanxiong (rhizome) and Ophiopogon japonicas (radix) (12). These herbs were mixed in the following ratio: 4:6:3:4:4:4:3:4. Herbs were decocted twice (2 h each time) with 10 times the amount of water, as previously described (20). The extracts were made into lyophilized powder for subsequent experiments.
Cell culture
Human cardiomyocyte cell line AC16 was purchased from The Cell Bank of Type Culture Collection of The Chinese Academy of Sciences. AC16 cells were cultured in DMEM (HyClone; Cytiva) with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin solution (Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.) in a humidified incubator at 5% CO2 at 37°C.
H/R treatment
H/R treatment was performed as previously described by Benoist et al (21). In brief, AC16 cells were cultured in glucose/serum-free DMEM (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) under hypoxia (95% N2 and 5% CO2) for 5 h at 37°C. Then, cells were transferred to normal medium and cultured under reoxygenation (5% CO2 and 95% O2) for 1 h at 37°C. Cells that were cultured under normal conditions only were used as the control. Following H/R treatment, various concentrations of ZFG (0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mg/ml) were added and cells were incubated for 24 h at 37°C.
Lentivirus construction and transduction
Lentivirus overexpression (oe)TRIM28 and small interfering (si)TRIM28 were constructed in order to overexpress and knock down TRIM28, respectively. For constructing lentivirus oeTRIM28, DNA fragments of TRIM28 were cloned into 1,000 ng vector plasmid pLVX-Puro (Clontech Laboratories, Inc.). Then, the second-generation packaging plasmids psPAX2 (100 ng) and pMD2G (900 ng; both Addgene, Inc.) were used to co-transfect the vector plasmid into 293T cells using Lipofectamine® 2000 (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) at 37°C. After 6 h, the DMEM was replaced with complete medium. High-titer recombinant lentiviruses were obtained at 48 and 72 h after transfection. In order to construct lentivirus siTRIM28, the designed TRIM28 siRNAs (Generay Biotech Co., Ltd.) were cloned into the vector plasmid PLKO.1 (Addgene, Inc.), which was then transfected into 293T cells as aforementioned. The sequences of TRIM28 siRNAs were as follows: siTRIM28-1, 5′-GCAACAGTGCTTCTCCAAA-3′; siTRIM28-2, 5′-GGAGATGATCCCTACTCAA-3′; and siTRIM28-3′, 5′-GGACTACAACCTTATTGTT-3′.
For lentivirus transduction, AC16 cells were inoculated into 6-well plates at a density of 2×105 cells/well. At 60–70% confluence, the cells were transduced with lentivirus at a multiplicity of infection of 10 at 37°C for 6 h, followed by culture with fresh medium for a further 24 h at 37°C. Cells transduced with lentivirus-containing vector plasmid or siNC sequence (5′-TCGCTGCATCAGATGAGAC-3′) were used as negative controls. For subsequent experiments, cells were also cultured with l mmol/l ROS inhibitor N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) for 24 h.
Measurement of apoptotic cells
AC16 cells were digested using 0.25% trypsin-EDTA solution (Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.) and suspended in PBS for counting. Then, 1×105 cells were centrifuged at 500 × g for 5 min at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded and cells were resuspended with 195 µl Annexin V-FITC (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology). Then, cells were incubated with 5 µl Annexin V-FITC for 15 min in the dark at 4°C, followed by incubation with 5 µl propidium iodide for 5 min at 4°C. Apoptotic cells were detected using BD Accuri™ C6 flow cytometer (BD Biosciences), and the data were analyzed by FlowJo software (v10.2.8; FlowJo LLC).
Reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-qPCR)
Total RNA in AC16 cells was extracted using TRIzol® reagent (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and the residual DNA was digested using DNase I enzymes. The cDNA was synthesized using RevertAid First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (cat. no. K1622; Fermentas; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), according to the manufacturers instructions. RT-qPCR was performed with SYBR-Green Mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) in an ABI 7300 Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). The thermocycling conditions were as follows: Initial denaturation at 95°C for 5 min, followed by 45 cycles of 95°C for 15 sec and 60°C for 45 sec. GAPDH was selected as the internal control. The relative mRNA levels of target genes (TRIM7, TRIM14, TRIM22, TRIM28 and GPX1) were calculated using the 2−∆∆Cq method (22). The primers are listed in Table I.
Western blotting
Total protein in AC16 cells was extracted using super RIPA lysis buffer (cat. no. R0010; Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.), and its concentration was determined with a BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Then, 25 µg protein was separated via SDS-PAGE on a 10% gel, and then transferred onto a PVDF membrane (EMD Millipore). After being blocked with 5% skimmed milk for 1 h at room temperature, the membrane was incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (1:1,000; cat. no. A0208; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) for 1 h at 37°C. The primary antibodies included antibodies against TRIM28 (1:1,000; cat. no. ab10484; Abcam), GPX1 (1:2,000; cat. no. ab108427; Abcam), cleaved caspase-3′ (1:5,000; cat. no. ab214430; Abcam) and GAPDH (1:5,000; cat. no. 60004-1-1G; ProteinTech Group, Inc.). Finally, the PVDF membrane was washed with enhanced chemiluminescent detection reagent (EMD Millipore) and visualized using a Tanon-5200 system (Tanon Science and Technology Co., Ltd.). Densitometric analysis was performed using ImageJ software (v1.44; National Institutes of Health).
Detection of ROS levels
AC16 cells were incubated with 10 µM 27-dichlorofluorescin diacetate probe (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) for 20 min at 37°C in the dark. The fluorescence of AC16 cells was detected using a BD Accuri™ C6 flow cytometer. Wavelengths of 480 and 525 nm were selected as the excitation and emission wavelengths, respectively.
Co-immunoprecipitation and ubiquitination assays
Total protein was extracted and its concentration was determined using BCA protein assay kit. Then, 2 mg protein was incubated with 1 µg antibodies against TRIM28, GPX1 or IgG (cat. no. 10283-1-AP; ProteinTech Group, Inc.) overnight at 4°C. Thereafter, these samples were incubated with 30 µl Protein A/G Plus-Agarose (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) for 2 h at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded following centrifugation at 4,500 × g for 5 min at 4°C. Then, the A/G Plus-Agarose beads were washed four times with 1 ml RIPA lysis buffer, and subsequently boiled with 2X loading buffer for 5 min. Following centrifugation at 500 × g for 1 min at 4°C, the supernatant was collected and western blotting was performed. Antibodies against TRIM28 or GPX1 were used as the primary antibodies.
For the ubiquitination detection of GPX1 protein, anti-GPX1 antibody was used to pull down immunocomplex. Subsequent western blotting was performed according to the same method outlined above, but using anti-ubiquitin antibody (1:2,000; cat. no. ab7780; Abcam) as the primary antibody.
Statistical analysis
All experiments were repeated three times, and the experimental data are presented as the mean ± SD. Statistical analysis was performed using Prism software (version 8.0.2; GraphPad Software Inc.). Statistical differences were evaluated by one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey's test. P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.
Results
ZFG inhibits H/R-induced apoptosis in AC16 cells
In order to investigate the effect of ZFG on myocardial apoptosis during H/R injury, H/R-injured AC16 cells were treated with various ZFG dosages. The results revealed that H/R treatment significantly increased apoptosis in AC16 cells, while subsequent ZFG administration significantly inhibited H/R-induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 1). In addition, 0.4 mg/ml ZFG treatment-alone had no significant effect on apoptosis in AC16 cells (Fig. 1).
ZFG inhibits H/R-induced TRIM28 expression in AC16 cells
In order to determine whether TRIM proteins contributed to the protective effect exerted by ZFG, the expression levels of TRIM7, TRIM14, TRIM22 and TRIM28 in H/R-injured AC16 cells were assessed. H/R treatment significantly increased the mRNA expression levels of TRIM7, TRIM14, TRIM22 and TRIM28; these effects were eliminated by subsequent administration of ZFG (Fig. 2). Among the TRIM proteins, TRIM28 induced the greatest change in expression levels; therefore, it was selected for subsequent experiments. RT-qPCR and western blotting assays showed that TRIM28 mRNA and protein expression levels in H/R-injured AC16 cells significantly increased in a time-dependent manner (Fig. 3A and B), and subsequent ZFG treatment attenuated H/R-induced upregulation of TRIM28 expression levels in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 3C and D).
Knockdown of TRIM28 inhibits H/R-induced apoptosis in AC16 cells
Lentivirus siTRIM28 was constructed to knock down TRIM28 expression in AC16 cells. All three siTRIM28 lentiviruses significantly decreased the mRNA and protein levels of TRIM28 (Fig. S1A and B). The lentiviruses siTRIM28-1 and siTRIM28-2 were then transduced into H/R-injured AC16 cells. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that TRIM28 knockdown attenuated H/R-induced upregulation of apoptotic rate in AC16 cells (Fig. 4A and B). Western blotting revealed that TRIM28 knockdown inhibited H/R-induced upregulation of cleaved caspase-3 in AC16 cells (Fig. 4C). Thus, TRIM28 knockdown inhibited H/R-induced apoptosis in AC16 cells.
TRIM28 induces apoptosis in H/R-injured AC16 cells by activating ROS generation
ROS production is a cause of myocardial apoptosis during MIR injury (23). Therefore, it was investigated whether TRIM28 promoted apoptosis by regulating ROS generation. The lentiviruses siTRIM28-1 and siTRIM28-2 were transduced into H/R-injured AC16 cells. H/R treatment upregulated ROS levels in AC16 cells, while TRIM28 knockdown inhibited H/R-induced upregulation of ROS levels (Fig. 5A). In addition, lentivirus oeTRIM28 was used to overexpress TRIM28 in AC16 cells (Fig. S1A and B). TRIM28 overexpression increased the ROS levels and apoptotic rate in AC16 cells (Fig. 5B and C). However, the effects of oeTRIM28 on ROS and apoptosis were attenuated by ROS inhibitor NAC (Fig. 5B and C). Collectively, these data indicated that TRIM28 may promote apoptosis in H/R-injured AC16 cells via inducing ROS generation.
TRIM28 negatively regulates GPX1 stability via ubiquitination
GPX1 is an antioxidant enzyme that scavenges free radicals in cells and serves a protective role in MIR injury (24). In H/R-induced AC16 cells, the mRNA and protein levels of GPX1 were significantly downregulated (Fig. 6A). TRIM28 knockdown restored GPX1 protein levels but had no effect on GPX1 mRNA expression levels in H/R-induced AC16 cells (Fig. 6A). oeTRIM28 caused similar effects (Fig. 6B). Co-immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that TRIM28 interacted with GPX1 (Fig. 6C). Ubiquitination assays revealed that oeTRIM28 promoted the ubiquitination of GPX1 in AC16 cells (Fig. 6D). Collectively, these data indicated that TRIM28 negatively regulated GPX1 via ubiquitination.
Discussion
ZFG is a clinical prescription for the treatment of sick sinus syndrome (12). Previous studies have revealed a close association between sick sinus syndrome and MIR injury (14,25). Therefore, it was speculated that ZFG may exert a protective effect on MIR injury. The present study revealed that ZFG significantly inhibited H/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, supporting this hypothesis.
A recent study demonstrated that Tongxinluo capsule, a Chinese herbal compound, attenuates MIR injury by downregulating the ubiquitin-proteasome system (26). Previous studies have also revealed that the ubiquitin-proteasome system serves an important regulatory role in MIR injury (17,18). Hence, it was hypothesized that ZFG may also exert a protective effect by regulating the ubiquitin-proteasome system. TRIM proteins, which mediate the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation pathway, are the primary members of ubiquitin-proteasome system (27). A number of TRIM proteins are expressed abnormally in the heart in patients with myocardial infarction, including TRIM7, TRIM14, TRIM22 and TRIM28 (19). The present study assessed the expression levels of these four proteins in cardiomyocytes following H/R and ZFG treatment. These proteins were significantly upregulated in H/R-injured cardiomyocytes, whereas their expression was inhibited by subsequent administration of ZFG. Of these four proteins, TRIM28 induced the greatest change in expression levels and was therefore selected for subsequent analysis. Silencing TRIM28 attenuated H/R-induced apoptosis. Therefore, ZFG may protect cardiomyocytes against H/R-induced apoptosis partly by regulating TRIM28. Further research is necessary to confirm the involvement of TRIM7, TRIM14 and TRIM22 in the protective role of ZFG in MIR injury.
TRIM28, also called TIF1β or KAP1, is involved in multiple cellular processes, such as proliferation, migration and apoptosis (28,29). It has also been revealed to regulate apoptosis in a cell type-dependent manner. For example, TRIM28 serves an anti-apoptotic function in immature erythroid, lymphoma and lung cancer cells (30–32) but exerts a pro-apoptotic effect on bovine fibroblasts and embryonic kidney cells (33,34). The present study revealed that oeTRIM28 promoted apoptosis in AC16 cells, suggesting a pro-apoptotic role of TRIM28 in cardiomyocytes. Previous research has primarily focused on the role of TRIM28 in cancer (35,36). To the best of our knowledge, the role of TRIM28 in MIR injury has not been studied. The present study, reported the involvement of TRIM28 in an in vitro MIR model. TRIM28 was also revealed to be upregulated and induce apoptosis in H/R-injured cardiomyocytes.
During MIR injury, excessive ROS are produced, triggering a series of pathological processes, including cardiomyocyte apoptosis and the inflammatory response (23). Therefore, ROS have been recognized as critical regulators in MIR injury. As anticipated, ROS levels in H/R-injured cardiomyocytes were significantly upregulated in the present study. However, TRIM28 knockdown attenuated H/R-induced accumulation of ROS in cardiomyocytes. Previous studies have revealed that numerous TRIM proteins, such as TRIM10 and TRIM69, promote cell apoptosis via enhancing ROS generation (37,38). Consistent with these results, in the present study, TRIM28 promoted cardiomyocyte apoptosis by regulating ROS production. GPX1 is an antioxidant enzyme that can directly scavenge ROS in cells (39), and thereby negatively regulate ROS. The present study revealed that GPX1 was significantly decreased in H/R-injured cardiomyocytes, which is consistent with previous studies (40,41). TRIM28 knockdown restored GPX1 protein levels but had no effect on GPX1 mRNA levels in H/R-injured cardiomyocytes. A previous study reported that TRIM33 was involved in MIR injury by ubiquitinating GPX1 (24). In the present study, TRIM28 negatively regulated GPX1 via ubiquitination. Collectively, the present results indicated that TRIM28 may serve a pro-apoptotic role in H/R-injured cardiomyocytes by regulating the GPX1/ROS pathway.
In summary, the present study demonstrated that ZFG attenuated H/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis via the inhibition of TRIM28 expression levels. TRIM28 served a pro-apoptotic role in cardiomyocytes by enhancing ROS generation via GPX1 ubiquitination. These results suggested that ZFG and TRIM28 are potential drug and therapeutic targets for MIR injury treatment, respectively. Further in vivo research is necessary to confirm the present findings.
