| Popis: | Endotoxemia elicits a multiorgan inflammatory response that results in cardiac dysfunction and often leads to death. Inflammation-induced metabolism of endogenous N-3 and N-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids generates numerous lipid mediators, such as epoxy fatty acids (EpFAs), which protect the heart. However, EpFAs are hydrolyzed by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), which attenuates their cardioprotective actions. Global genetic disruption of sEH preserves EpFA levels and attenuates cardiac dysfunction in mice following acute lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory injury. In leukocytes, EpFAs modulate the innate immune system through the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. However, the mechanisms by which both EpFAs and sEH inhibition exert their protective effects in the cardiomyocyte are still elusive. This study investigated whether cardiomyocyte-specific sEH disruption attenuates inflammation and cardiac dysfunction in acute LPS inflammatory injury via modulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. We use tamoxifen-inducible CreER recombinase technology to target sEH genetic disruption to the cardiomyocyte. Primary cardiomyocyte studies provide mechanistic insight into inflammasome signaling. For the first time, we demonstrate that cardiomyocyte-specific sEH disruption preserves cardiac function and attenuates inflammatory responses by limiting local cardiac inflammation and activation of the systemic immune response. Mechanistically, inhibition of cardiomyocyte-specific sEH activity or exogenous EpFA treatment do not prevent upregulation of NLRP3 inflammasome machinery in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Rather, they limit downstream activation of the pathway leading to release of fewer chemoattractant factors and recruitment of immune cells to the heart. These data emphasize that cardiomyocyte sEH is vital for mediating detrimental systemic inflammation. |
