Abstract

Beyond the control of nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking nucleoporins regulate gene expression and are involved in cardiac diseases. Notably, a number of cardiovascular disorders have been linked to alterations in epigenetic mechanisms. Here we aimed to determine the contribution of Nup153 to the epigenetic alterations occurring in cardiomyopathy of dystrophin-deficient mdx mice (C57BL/10ScSn-Dmd mdx /J). Nup153 was lysine-acetylated and its expression was significantly increased at protein level in mdx hearts compared with controls. Accordingly, lysine acetyl transferase (KAT) activity associated with Nup153 was higher in mdx hearts paralleling increased binding with the lysine acetylases P300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF) and p300. Interestingly, Nup153 silencing in mdx organotypic heart tissue slices caused a reduction in PCAF- and p300-specific activities. Remarkably, the level of nitric oxide (NO), which is reduced in mdx mice, was important for KAT-dependent regulation of Nup153. In fact, treatment of mdx heart tissue with an NO donor or the KAT inhibitor anacardic acid normalized Nup153 protein expression. Nup153 was recruited to chromatin and regulated the transcription of genes involved in cardiac remodelling, including th...Continue Reading

Cardiac Remodeling

Cardiac remodeling in response to a myocardial infarction is characterized by progressive ventricular dilatation, cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and deterioration of cardiac performance. Discover the latest research on Cardiac Remodeling here.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Actin-binding Proteins

Actin-binding proteins are a component of the actin cytoskeleton that play essential roles in cellular functions such as regulation of actin polymerization, maintenance of cell polarity, gene expression regulation, cell motility and many more functions.
