| Abstrakt: | Heart failure (HF) is one of the most strongly associated adverse cardiovascular events linked to the use of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 selective and non-selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Nevertheless, it remains uncertain whether NSAID exposure is more likely to lead to heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). In adult mice, postnatal genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of COX-2 did not affect cardiac function. In contrast, aged female inducible COX-2 (iCOX-2) knockout (KO) mice displayed diastolic dysfunction, cardiac hypertrophy, pulmonary congestion, and elevated levels of plasma N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) when compared to age- and sex- matched controls, while their ejection fraction (EF) remained preserved (≥ 50%). No such phenotype was observed in aged male iCox-2 KO mice. Aged female iCox-2 KO mice showed a shift from prostanoid to leukotriene biosynthesis, along with changes in the expression of mitochondrial genes and calcium-handling proteins in the myocardium. The ratio of phospholamban to SERCA2a was increased, indicating an inhibitory effect on SERCA2a activity, which may contribute to impaired myocardial relaxation. In larval zebrafish, COX-2 inhibition by celecoxib caused a modest yet significant reduction in heart rate and diastolic function, while EF was preserved. Additionally, celecoxib increased BNP expression and ventricular calcium transient amplitude. Diabetic patients in the Harvard-Partners electronic medical record exposed to NSAIDs selective for COX-2 inhibition were more strongly associated with an increased risk of HFpEF compared to HFrEF. Collectively, these findings indicate that COX-2 deletion or inhibition does not impair systolic cardiac function but instead leads to an HFpEF phenotype in mice, zebrafish, and humans. An imbalance in calcium handling may mediate the impairment of myocardial relaxation following COX-2 suppression. Summary: Genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of COX-2 results in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction across zebrafish, mice, and humans. |
