【 摘 要 】

Altered redox biology and oxidative stress have been implicated in the progression of heart failure. Glutaredoxin2 (GRX2) is a glutathione-dependent oxidoreductase and catalyzes the reversible deglutathionylation of mitochondrial proteins. Sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) is a class III histone deacetylase and regulates lysine acetylation in mitochondria. Both GRX2 and SIRT3 are considered as key in the protection against oxidative damage in the myocardium. Knockout of either contributes to adverse heart pathologies including hypertrophy, hypertension, and cardiac dysfunction. Here, we created and characterized a GRX2 and SIRT3 double-knockout mouse model, hypothesizing that their deletions would have an additive effect on oxidative stress, and exacerbate mitochondrial function and myocardial structural remodeling. Wildtype, single-gene knockout (Sirt3(-/-), Grx2(-/-)), and double-knockout mice (Grx2(-/-)/Sirt3(-/-)) were compared in heart weight, histology, mitochondrial respiration and H2O2 production. Overall, the hearts from Grx2(-/-)/Sirt3(-/-) mice displayed increased fibrosis and hypertrophy versus wildtype. In the Grx2(-/-) and the Sirt3(-/-) we observed changes in mitochondrial oxidative capacity, however this was associated with elevated H2O2 emission only in the Sirt3(-/-). Similar changes were observed but not worsened in hearts from Grx2(-/-)/Sirt3(-/-) mice, suggesting that these changes were not additive. In human myocardium, using genetic and histopathological data from the human Genotype-Tissue Expression consortium, we confirmed that SIRT3 expression correlates inversely with heart pathology. Altogether, GRX2 and SIRT3 are important in the control of cardiac mitochondrial redox and oxidative processes, but their combined absence does not exacerbate effects, consistent with the overall conclusion that they function together in the complex redox and antioxidant systems in the heart.
