Abstract

Abusive chronic alcohol consumption can cause metabolic and functional derangements in the heart and is a risk factor for development of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. microRNA 214 (miR-214) is a molecular sensor of stress signals that negatively impacts cell survival. Considering cardioprotective and microRNA modulatory effects of sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, we investigated the impact of chronic alcohol consumption on cardiac expression of miR-214 and its anti-apoptotic protein target, Bcl-2 and whether sildenafil attenuates such changes. Adult male FVB mice received unlimited access to either normal liquid diet (control), alcohol diet (35% daily calories intake), or alcohol + sildenafil (1 mg/kg/day, p.o.) for 14 weeks (n = 6-7/group). The alcohol-fed groups with or without sildenafil had increased total diet consumption and lower body weight as compared with controls. Echocardiography-assessed left ventricular function was unaltered by 14-week alcohol intake. Alcohol-fed group had 2.6-fold increase in miR-214 and significant decrease in Bcl-2 expression, along with enhanced phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and cleavage of PARP (marker of apoptotic DNA damage) in the heart. Co-ingestion with sildenafil blunted ...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
