AT1 receptor blockade alters metabolic, functional and structural proteins after reperfused myocardial infarction: detection using proteomics.

Angiotensin II (AngII) type 1 receptor (AT1R) blockers (ARBs) limit left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and necrosis after reperfused myocardial infarction (RMI) and proteomics can detect changes in protein levels after injury. We applied proteomics to detect changes in levels of specific protein in the ischemic zone (IZ) and non-ischemic zone (NIZ) of dog hearts after in vivo RMI (90 min of anterior ischemia; 120 min of reperfusion) and treatment with intravenous vehicle (control) and the ARBs valsartan or irbesartan (10 mg/kg) over 30 min before RMI. We also assessed LV function, infarction and apoptosis. Both ARBs limited the RMI-induced LV dysfunction, infarct size and apoptosis. Proteomics detected differential expression of 5 randomly selected proteins in the IZ compared to the NIZ after RMI: decrease in a subunit of ATP synthase isoform precursor (consistent with increased conversion to a subunit under metabolic stress), M chain creatine kinase (consistent with cellular damage) and ventricular myosin light chain-1 (consistent with structural damage and decreased contractility); and increase in NAD+ -isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) and alpha subunit and ATP synthase D chain (mitochondrial, consistent with metabolic dysfunction). Importantly, changes in NAD+ -ICDH and ATP synthase D chain were reversed by ARB therapy. Thus, proteomics can detect regional changes in metabolic, contractile, and structural proteins after RMI and several of these proteins are favorably modified by ARBs, suggesting that they may be novel therapeutic targets.[1]
