Recombinant Extracellular Domain (p75ECD) of the Neurotrophin Receptor p75 Attenuates Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Inhibiting the p-JNK/Caspase-3 Signaling Pathway in Rat Microvascular Pericytes

Background Pro-NTs (precursor of neurotrophins) and their receptor p75 are potential targets for preventing microvascular dysfunction induced by myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). p75ECD (ectodomain of neurotrophin receptor p75) may physiologically produce neurocytoprotective effects by scavenging pro-NTs. We therefore hypothesized that p75ECD may have a cardioprotective effect on IRI through microvascular mechanisms. Methods and Results Myocardial IRI was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by occluding the left main coronary arteries for 45 minutes before a subsequent relaxation. Compared with the ischemia-reperfusion group, an intravenous injection of p75ECD (3 mg/kg) 5 minutes before reperfusion reduced the myocardial infarct area at 24 hours after reperfusion (by triphenyltetrazolium chloride, 44.9±3.9% versus 34.6±5.7%, P<0.05); improved the left ventricular ejection fraction (by echocardiography), with less myocardial fibrosis (by Masson's staining), and prevented microvascular dysfunction (by immunofluorescence) at 28 days after reperfusion; and reduced myocardial pro-NTs expression at 24 hours and 28 days after reperfusion (by Western blotting). A simulative IRI model using rat microvascular pericytes was established in vitro by hypoxia-reoxygenation (2/6 hours) combined with pro-NTs treatment (3 nmol/L) at R. p75ECD (3 μg/mL) given at R improved pericyte survival (by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay) and attenuated apoptosis (by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling). In the reperfused hearts and hypoxia-reoxygenation +pro-NTs-injured pericytes, p75ECD inhibited the expression of p-JNK (phospho of c-Jun N-terminal kinase)/caspase-3 (by Western blotting). SP600125, an inhibitor of JNK, did not enhance the p75ECD-induced infarct-sparing effects and pericyte protection. Conclusions p75ECD may attenuate myocardial IRI via pro-NTs reduction-induced inhibition of p-JNK/caspase-3 pathway of microvascular pericytes in rats.
