摘要

Background: ?Recent studies demonstrated that iron overload could enhance the production of arachidonic acid and prostanoid, suggesting a causal connection between these signals and iron-overload cardiomyopathy. However, information regarding the downstream signaling is limited. Because thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and prostacyclin are the 2 major prostanoids in the cardiovascular system, and TXA2 plays a major role in vascular atherosclerosis and has pro-inflammatory characteristics, we intended to elucidate the role of TXA2 in iron-overload cardiomyopathy. Methods and Results: ?A 4-week iron loading protocol was instituted for both TXAS gene-deleted (TXAS?/?) mice and wild-type (WT) mice, with less severe cardiac fibrosis and preserved normal left ventricular contraction in the TXAS?/? mice. Inflammatory profiles, including MCP-1, TNF-α, IL-6, ICAM-1, and myeloperoxidase activity were also lower in the TXAS?/? as compared with WT littermates. TXAS supplement to the iron-injured TXAS?/? mice re-aggravated cardiac inflammation. Using a TXA2 analog, U46619, for NFAT reporter luciferase activity on cardiomyoctes, and intraperitonal injection of U46619 into nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)-luciferase transgenic mice demonstrated that U46619 increase NFAT expression, and this expression, as well as TNF-α expression, can be blocked by TXA2 receptor antagonist (SQ29548), NFAT-SiRNA, calcineurin inhibitor, or calcium chelator. Finally, intraperitoneal injection of the TNF-α antibody, infliximab, into iron-injured mice decreased TXAS expression and attenuated cardiac fibrosis. Conclusions: ?TXA2 mediates iron-overload cardiomyopathy through the TNF-α-associated calcineurin-NFAT signaling pathway.??( Circ J ?2013; 77: 2586–2595)
