Heart failure (HF) is a complex syndrome associated with a maladaptive innate immune system response that leads to deleterious cardiac remodeling. However, the underlying mechanisms of this syndrome are poorly understood. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 1 (NOD1) is a newly recognized innate immune sensor involved in cardiovascular diseases.ObjectivesThis study evaluated the role of NOD1 in HF progression.MethodsNOD1 was examined in human failing myocardium and in a post-myocardial infarction (PMI) HF model evaluated in wild-type (wt-PMI) and Nod1–/– mice (Nod1–/–-PMI).ResultsThe NOD1 pathway was up-regulated in human and murine failing myocardia. Compared with wt-PMI, hearts from Nod1–/–-PMI mice had better cardiac function and attenuated structural remodeling. Ameliorated cardiac function in Nod1–/–-PMI mice was associated with prevention of Ca2+ dynamic impairment linked to HF, including smaller and longer intracellular Ca2+ concentration transients and a lesser sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ load due to a down-regulation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase pump and by augmented levels of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. Increased diastolic Ca2+ release in wt-PMI cardiomyocytes was related to hyperphosphorylation of ryanodine receptors, which was blunted in Nod1–/–-PMI cardiomyocytes. Pharmacological blockade of NOD1 also prevented Ca2+ mishandling in wt-PMI mice. Nod1–/–-PMI mice showed significantly fewer ventricular arrhythmias and lower mortality after isoproterenol administration. These effects were associated with lower aberrant systolic Ca2+ release and with a prevention of the hyperphosphorylation of ryanodine receptors under isoproterenol administration in Nod1–/–-PMI mice.ConclusionsNOD1 modulated intracellular Ca2+ mishandling in HF, emerging as a new target for HF therapy.
