Deficiency of heme oxygenase 1a causes detrimental effects on cardiac function

Humans lacking heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) display growth retardation, haemolytic anaemia, and vulnerability to stress; however, cardiac function remains unclear. We aimed to explore the cardiac function of zebrafish lacking hmox1a at baseline and in response to stress. We generated zebrafish hmox1a mutants using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology. Deletion of hmox1a increases cardiac output and further induces hypertrophy in adults. Adults lacking hmox1a develop myocardial interstitial fibrosis, restrain cardiomyocyte proliferation and downregulate renal haemoglobin and cardiac antioxidative genes. Larvae lacking hmox1a fail to respond to hypoxia, whereas adults are insensitive to isoproterenol stimulation in the heart, suggesting that hmox1a is necessary for cardiac response to stress. Haplodeficiency of hmox1a stimulates non-mitochondrial respiration and cardiac cell proliferation, increases cardiac output in larvae in response to hypoxia, and deteriorates cardiac function and structure in adults upon isoproterenol treatment. Intriguingly, haplodeficiency of hmox1a upregulates cardiac hmox1a and hmox1b in response to isoproterenol. Collectively, deletion of hmox1a results in cardiac remodelling and abrogates cardiac response to hypoxia and isoproterenol. Haplodeficiency of hmox1a aggravates cardiac response to the stress, which could be associated with the upregulation of hmox1a and hmox1b. Our data suggests that HMOX1 homeostasis is essential for maintaining cardiac function and promoting cardioprotective effects.
