Effects of Left Ventricular Unloading on Cardiac Function, Heart Failure Markers, and Autophagy in Rat Hearts with Acute Myocardial Infarction
2025
Overview
Percutaneous ventricular assist devices are utilized in cases of cardiogenic shock following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of LV unloading in AMI remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the impact of LV unloading on cardiac function, heart failure markers, and protein degradation (autophagy and ubiquitin–proteasome system: UPS) post AMI in rats. Nine-week-old male Lewis rats were randomized into non-AMI, AMI, non-AMI with LV unloading, and AMI with LV unloading groups. LV unloading was achieved through heterotopic heart–lung transplantation. Rats were euthanized 2 and 14 days after the procedure. Cardiac functional assessment was performed using Langendorff heart perfusion. RT-PCR and Western blot analyses were conducted using the LV myocardium. The rate pressure product was comparable between the non-AMI with LV unloading group and the AMI with LV unloading at 14 days. The atrial natriuretic factor tended to be suppressed by LV unloading. LV unloading had reducing effects on the expressions of p62, selectively degraded during autophagy, both 2 and 14 days after AMI. There was no effect on the parameters for the UPS. LV unloading has a mitigating effect on the deterioration of cardiac function following AMI. Autophagy, which was suppressed by AMI, was ameliorated by LV unloading.
