Nuclear inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate is a necessary and conserved signal for the induction of both pathological and physiological cardiomyocyte hypertrophy

Abstract It is well established that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) dependent Ca 2 + signaling plays a crucial role in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. However, it is not yet known whether nuclear IP3 represents a Ca 2 + mobilizing pathway involved in this process. The goal of the current work was to...

Summary:Abstract It is well established that inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) dependent Ca 2 + signaling plays a crucial role in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. However, it is not yet known whether nuclear IP3 represents a Ca 2 + mobilizing pathway involved in this process. The goal of the current work was to investigate the specific role of nuclear IP3 in cardiomyocyte hypertrophic response. In this work, we used an adenovirus construct that selectively buffers IP3 in the nuclear region of neonatal cardiomyocytes. We showed for the first time that nuclear IP3 mediates endothelin-1 (ET-1) induced hypertrophy. We also found that both calcineurin (Cn)/nuclear factor of activated T Cells (NFAT) and histone deacetylase-5 (HDAC5) pathways require nuclear IP3 to mediate pathological cardiomyocyte growth. Additionally, we found that nuclear IP3 buffering inhibited insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) induced hypertrophy and prevented reexpression of fetal gene program. Together, these results demonstrated that nuclear IP3 is an essential and a conserved signal for both pathological and physiological forms of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.
