PG - 507-522 LID - S2162-2531(19)30398-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.omtn.2019.12.003 [doi] AB - Cardiac hypertrophy, a response of the heart to increased workload, is a major risk factor for heart failure. Myostatin (MSTN) is an inhibitor of myogenesis, regulating the number and size of skeletal myocytes. In recent years, cardiomyocyte autophagy also has been considered to be involved in controlling the hypertrophic response. However, less is known about the detailed mechanism of MSTN on cardiac hypertrophy via regulation of cardiomyocyte autophagy. In this study, we found that the deletion of MSTN potentiated abdominal aorta coarctation (AAC) and angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced pathological cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac autophagy; however, AAC and Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophic phenotype and cardiac autophagy were dramatically diminished by MSTN in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, the anti-hypertrophic and anti-autophagic effects mediated by MSTN in response to pathological stimuli were associated with the direct inactivation of activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma)/nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) signaling pathway. Additionally, miR-128 aggravated the progression of cardiac hypertrophy through suppressing its target PPARgamma. Furthermore, MSTN downregulated miR-128 expression induced by AAC and Ang II. Taken together, MSTN significantly blunts pathological cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction, at least in part, by inhibiting excessive cardiac autophagy via blocking AMPK/mTOR and miR-128/PPARgamma/NF-kappaB signaling pathways.
