Abstrakt: Background: Myogenin is well known as a crucial transcription factor in skeletal muscle development, yet its other biological functions remain unexplored. Previous research showed that myogenin suppresses apoptosis induced by angiotensin II in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, and offered a new perspective on myogenin's role in cardioprotection. However, the detailed mechanism of this cardioprotection, especially under oxidative stress, is still unclear.
Methods: In this study, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was used to generate reactive oxygen species in myogenin-overexpressing cardiomyocytes. The apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to identify genes regulated by myogenin. Western blotting was used to detect the protein level of DUSP13 and the phosphorylation level of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). The dual-luciferase reporter assay and ChIP assay were used to confirm the binding of myogenin to the promoter region of DUSP13 . DUSP13 overexpression and knockdown assays were performed to study its anti-apoptotic role.
Results: Flow cytometry analysis of apoptosis showed that overexpressing myogenin for 24 and 48 hours decreased the apoptotic ratio by 47.9% and 63.5%, respectively, compared with untreated controls. Transcriptome sequencing performed on cardiomyocytes that expressed myogenin for different amounts of time (6, 12, 24, and 48 hours) identified DUSP13 as being up-regulated by myogenin. Western blotting showed that overexpression of myogenin increased the expression of DUSP13 and decreased the phosphorylation level of p38 MAPK. A dual-luciferase reporter assay proved that myogenin bound directly to the promoter region of DUSP13 and led to strong relative luciferase activity. Direct expression of DUSP13A and DUSP13B significantly reduced the rates of apoptosis and necrosis in cells treated with H2O2. Knockdown of DUSP13B significantly increased the rate of apoptosis in cells treated with H2O2.
Conclusions: The present findings suggest that myogenin might attenuate apoptosis induced by reactive oxygen species by up-regulating DUSP13 and inactivating the p38 MAPK pathway.
