Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are a class of oral anti-diabetic drugs, implicated in pleiotropic secondary cardioprotective effects. The aim of the study was to unveil the unknown and possible cardioprotective targets that can be exerted by sitagliptin (Sitg) against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Male wistar rats received 2 weeks’ Sitg oral treatment of different doses (25, 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg/day), or saline as a Control. Hearts were then isolated and subjected to two different I/R injury protocols: 10 min perfusion, 45 min regional ischemia, and 120 min reperfusion for infarct size (IS) measurement, or: 10 min perfusion, 45 min regional ischemia and 10 min reperfusion for biochemical analysis: nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) and DPP-4 activity, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), Calcium, transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV)-1 and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) levels, transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC)-1 and e-NOS protein expression. NOS inhibitor (l-NAME) and TRPV-1 inhibitor (Capsazepine) were utilized to confirm the implication of both signaling mechanisms in DPP-4 inhibition-induced at the level of IS. Findings show that Sitg (50 mg) resulted in significant decrease in IS and DPP-4 activity, and significant increase in GLP-1, NOS activity, e-NOS expression, TRPV-1 level and TRPC-1 expression, compared to controls. Results of CGRP are in line with TRPV-1, as a downstream regulatory effect. NOS system and transient receptor potential (TRP) channels can contribute to DPP-4 inhibition-mediated cardioprotection against I/R injury using Sitagliptin.

Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion

Antioxidative stress provides a cardioprotective effect during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Previous research has demonstrated that the blockade of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) attenuates myocardial I/R injury. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The current study is aimed at investigating the antioxidative activity of TRPV4 inhibition and elucidating the underlying mechanisms in vitro and ex vivo. We found that the inhibiting TRPV4 by the selective TRPV4 blocker HC-067047 or specific TRPV4-siRNA significantly reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) and methane dicarboxylic aldehyde (MDA) levels in H9C2 cells exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). Meanwhile, the activity of antioxidative enzymes, particularly superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), is enhanced. Furthermore, after H/R, HC-067047 treatment increases the expression of P-Akt and the translocation of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and related antioxidant response element (ARE) mainly including SOD, GSH-Px, and catalase (CAT). LY294002, an Akt inhibitor, suppresses HC-067047 and specific TRPV4-siRNA-induced Nrf2 expression and its nuclear accumulation. Nrf2 siRNA attenuates HC-067047 and specific TRPV4-siRNA-induced ARE expression. In addition, treatment with LY294002 or Nrf2 siRNA significantly attenuates the antioxidant and anti-injury effects of HC-067047 in vitro. Finally, in experiments on isolated rat hearts, we confirmed the antioxidative stress roles of TRPV4 inhibition during myocardial I/R and the application of exogenous H2O2. In conclusion, the inhibition of TRPV4 exerts cardioprotective effects through enhancing antioxidative enzyme activity and expressions via the Akt/Nrf2/ARE pathway.

The Impact

Transient receptor potential vanilloid channel 2 (TRPV2) is required for normal cardiac contractility. The stimulation of TRPV1 in isolated cardiomyocytes can aggravate the effect of hypoxia/ reoxygenation (H/R) on H9C2 cells. The knockout of the TRPV1 gene promotes increased tolerance of the isolated perfused heart to the impact of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). However, activation of TRPV1 increases the resistance of the heart to I/R due to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) release from afferent nerve endings. It has been established that TRPV1 and TRPV2 are involved in the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction and, in all likelihood, ensure the cardiac tolerance to the ischemia/reperfusion. It has also been documented that the activation of TRPV4 negatively affects the stability of cardiomyocytes to the H/R. The blockade of TRPV4 can be considered as a new approach to the prevention of I/R injury of the heart. Studies also indicate that TRPV1 is involved in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy and that TRPV2 channels participate in the pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy. Excessive expression of TRPV2 leads to chronic Ca2+- overload of cardiomyocytes, which may contribute to the development of cardiomyopathy.
