We demonstrate that ruboxistaurin protects against diabetes-associated myocardial I/R injury primarily by restoring caveolin-3/Akt signalling. Interestingly, caveolin-3 and Akt, important salvage molecules regulated by PKCβ2, mediate post-ischaemic cardioprotection in diabetes by attenuation of cardiomyocyte apoptosis and mitochondrial injury.

AbstractThe circadian clock is closely related to the development of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, and disruption of the circadian clock exacerbates myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI). HDAC3 is a key component of the circadian negative feedback loop that controls the expression pattern of the circadian nuclear receptor Rev-erbα to maintain the stability of circadian genes such as BMAL1. However, the mechanism by which the HDAC3-orchestrated Rev-erbα/BMAL1 pathway increases MI/RI in diabetes and its relationship with mitophagy have yet to be elucidated. Here, we observed that the clock genes Rev-erbα, BMAL1, and C/EBPβ oscillations were altered in the hearts of rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes, with upregulated HDAC3 expression. Oscillations of Rev-erbα and BMAL1 were rapidly attenuated in diabetic MI/R hearts versus non-diabetic I/RI hearts, in accordance with impaired and rhythm-disordered circadian-dependent mitophagy that increased injury. Genetic knockdown of HDAC3 significantly attenuated diabetic MI/RI by mediating the Rev-erbα/BMAL1 circadian pathway to recover mitophagy. Primary cardiomyocytes with or without HDAC3 siRNA and Rev-erbα siRNA were exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in vitro. The expression of HDAC3 and Rev-erbα in cardiomyocytes was increased under high-glucose conditions compared with low-glucose conditions, with decreased BMAL1 expression and mitophagy levels. After H/R stimulation, high glucose aggravated H/R injury, with upregulated HDAC3 and Rev-erbα expression and decreased BMAL1 and mitophagy levels. HDAC3 and Rev-erbα siRNA can alleviate high glucose-induced and H/R-induced injury by upregulating BMAL1 to increase mitophagy. Collectively, these findings suggest that disruption of HDAC3-mediated circadian gene expression oscillations induces mitophagy dysfunction, aggravating diabetic MI/RI. Cardiac-specific HDAC3 knockdown could alleviate diabetic MI/RI by regulating the Rev-erbα/BMAL1 pathway to restore the activation of mitophagy.
