摘要
Aims: Cardiac fibrosis is characterized by aberrant collagen deposition in the heart. Macrophage polarization or infiltration is the main reason to accelerate the collagen deposition. We attempted to investigate the involvement of MKL1 in macrophages during the development of cardiac fibrosis. Materials and methods: Cardiac fibrosis is induced by myocardial infarction (MI). The MKL1f/f mice were crossed to the Lyz2-cre mice to generate macrophage conditional MKL1 knockout mice (MKL1 Delta M phi). In addition, macrophage conditional MKL1 overexpression mice (MKL1M phi-OE) were constructed by crossing Lyz2-cre mice to MKL1 Delta N200-Rosa26 mice. Key findings: MKL1 expression was significantly increased in macrophages of both ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) patients and mice induced to develop myocardial infarction. Deletion of MKL1 in macrophages improved the heart function after MI-induced cardiac fibrosis. Consistently, MKL1M phi-OE mice displayed more severe cardiac fibrosis and worsened heart function than the control mice after MI. Moreover, administration of a smallmolecule MKL1 inhibitor CCG-1423 also decreased the collagen deposition after MI. Significance: Our data demonstrate that MKL1 in macrophages contributes to cardiac fibrosis pathogenesis and reinforce the notion that targeting MKL1 may yield effective antifibrotic therapeutics in the heart.
