초록
The regulatory role of the inhibitor of NF-kB kinase ε (IKKε) in postmyocardial infarction (MI) inflammation remains uncertain. Using an MI mouse model, we examined the cardiac outcomes of IKKε knockout (KO) mice and wild-type mice. We employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and phosphorylated protein array techniques to profile cardiac macrophages. IKKε KO mice exhibited compromised survival, heightened inflammation, pronounced cardiac fibrosis, and a reduced ejection fraction. A distinct cardiac macrophage subset in IKKε KO mice exhibited increased fibrotic marker expression and decreased phosphorylated p38 (p-p38) levels, indicating an enhanced macrophage–myofibroblast transition (MMT) post-MI. While cardiac inflammation is crucial for initiating compensatory pathways, the timely resolution of inflammation was impaired in the IKKε KO group, while the MMT in macrophages accelerated post-MI, leading to cardiac failure. Additionally, our study highlighted the potential of 5-azacytidine (5-Aza), known for its anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effects, in restoring p-p38 levels in stimulated macrophages. The administration of 5-Aza significantly reduced the MMT in cardiac macrophages from the IKKε KO group. These findings underscore the regulation of the inflammatory response and macrophage transition by the IKKε-p38 axis, indicating that the MMT is a promising therapeutic target for ischemic heart disease.
Abstract
The regulatory role of the inhibitor of NF-kB kinase ε (IKKε) in postmyocardial infarction (MI) inflammation remains uncertain.
