Resumo
Estudos clínicos e experimentais têm sugerido que anormalidades da musculatura esquelética podem colaborar para a ocorrência precoce de dispnéia e fadiga em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca crônica. Em músculos periféricos e respiratórios, frequentemente observa-se modificação na composição das cadeias pesadas da miosina (MyHC) na insuficiência cardíaca. Os mecanismos e vias intracelulares de sinalização responsáveis pela alteração das MyHCs ainda não estão completamente definidos. Na insuficiência cardíaca direita induzida por monocrotalina, foi verificado que a expressão dos fatores de regulação miogênica está associada a alterações no fenótipo das MyHC. Recentemente, foi verificado que o fator de necrose tumoral-alfa (TNF-α) pode modular a expressão de proteínas miofibrilares. Não identificamos estudos que avaliaram o papel dos fatores de regulação miogênica e a influência do TNF-α na composição das MyHCs no músculo diafragma durante a insuficiência cardíaca. O objetivo deste estudo é determinar se modificações nas isoformas das MyHCs são selacionadas a alterações na expressão gênica dos fatores de regulação miogênica no músculo diafragma de ratos com infarto do miocárdio, com e sem insuficiência cardíaca. Adicionalmente, verificamos se as concentrações séricas de TNF-α e de IL-6 estão relacionadas a alterações das MyHCs e da expressão gênica dos fatores de regulação miogênica. Insuficiência cardíaca foi induzida pro infarto do miocárdio. Seis meses após a cirurgia, foram constituídos três grupos de animais: Sham (n=10), IM/IC- (animais infartados com disfunção ventricular e sem insuficiência cardíaca, n=10) e IM/IC+ (animais infartados com insuficiência cardíaca, n=10). As estruturas cardíacas e a função ventricular foram avaliadas por ecocardiograma...
Several clinial and experimental studies have suggested that skeletal muscle abnormalities can contribute to early fatigue and dyspnea in heart failure patients. Changes of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms have been frequently observed in peripheral and respiratory muscles during heart failure. Pathophysiological mechanisms and intracellular signaling pathways involved on MyHCs alterations are not completely defined. In monocrotaline-induced right heart failure, it was observed that the expression of myogenic regulatory factors is associated with MyHCs phenotype changes. Tumoral necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) has been recently described to modulate skeletal myofibril proteins. We did not find studies evaluating the influence of myogenic regulatory factors and TNF-α serum concentration on diaphragm MyHC isoforms during heart failure. In this study we tested the hypothesis that diaphragm MyHC isoforms changes are related to myogenic regulatory factors gene expression in chronic heart failure. Additionally, we measured TNF-α and interleukin-6 serum levels to examine their correlation with both MyHC isoforms and myogenic regulatory factors gene expression. A coronary ligation nodel was employed to induce heart failure. Six months after the surgical procedure, three groups of rats were studied: Sham (n=10), infarcted rats without heart failure (MI/HF-, n=10), and infarcted rats with heart failure (MI/HF+, n=10). Cardiac structures and ventricular function were assessed by transthoracic echocardiogram. MyHC isoforms were analyzed by protein electrophoresis. Muscle fiber cross-sectional area was measured in hematoxilin-eosin stained sections and in sections submitted to NADH-TR reaction. Myogenic regulatory factors miogenin, MyoD, and MRF4 gene expression was evaluated by real time RT-PCR; TNF-α and interleukin-6 serum levels werre quantified by...
