T1 - Mitofusin 2 is essential for IP3-mediated SR/Mitochondria metabolic feedback in ventricular myocytes JF - Frontiers in Physiology N2 - Aim: Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and angiotensin II (Ang II) are multifunctional peptide hormones that regulate the function of the cardiovascular and renal systems. Both hormones increase the intracellular production of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP\(_3\)) by activating their membrane-bound receptors. We have previously demonstrated that IP\(_3\)-mediated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca\(^{2+}\) release results in mitochondrial Ca\(^{2+}\) uptake and activation of ATP production. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that intact SR/mitochondria microdomains are required for metabolic IP\(_3\)-mediated SR/mitochondrial feedback in ventricular myocytes. Methods: As a model for disrupted mitochondrial/SR microdomains, cardio-specific tamoxifen-inducible mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) knock out (KO) mice were used. Mitochondrial Ca\(^{2+}\) uptake, membrane potential, redox state, and ATP generation were monitored in freshly isolated ventricular myocytes from Mfn2 KO mice and their control wild-type (WT) littermates. Results: Stimulation of ET-1 receptors in healthy control myocytes increases mitochondrial Ca\(^{2+}\) uptake, maintains mitochondrial membrane potential and redox balance leading to the enhanced ATP generation. Mitochondrial Ca\(^{2+}\) uptake upon ET-1 stimulation was significantly higher in interfibrillar (IFM) and perinuclear (PNM) mitochondria compared to subsarcolemmal mitochondria (SSM) in WT myocytes. Mfn2 KO completely abolished mitochondrial Ca\(^{2+}\) uptake in IFM and PNM mitochondria but not in SSM. However, mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake induced by beta-adrenergic receptors activation with isoproterenol (ISO) was highest in SSM, intermediate in IFM, and smallest in PNM regions. Furthermore, Mfn2 KO did not affect ISO-induced mitochondrial Ca\(^{2+}\) uptake in SSM and IFM mitochondria; however, enhanced mitochondrial Ca\(^{2+}\) uptake in PNM. In contrast to ET-1, ISO induced a decrease in ATP levels in WT myocytes. Mfn2 KO abolished ATP generation upon ET-1 stimulation but increased ATP levels upon ISO application with highest levels observed in PNM regions. Conclusion: When the physical link between SR and mitochondria by Mfn2 was disrupted, the SR/mitochondrial metabolic feedback mechanism was impaired resulting in the inability of the IP\(_3\)-mediated SR Ca\(^{2+}\) release to induce ATP production in ventricular myocytes from Mfn2 KO mice. Furthermore, we revealed the difference in Mfn2-mediated SR-mitochondrial communication depending on mitochondrial location and type of communication (IP\(_3\)R-mRyR1 vs. ryanodine receptor type 2-mitochondrial calcium uniporter).

In the present study, we investigated clinical usefulness of the Impella CP device in patients with non‐ischaemic cardiogenic shock as compared with acute ischaemia. Methods and results In this retrospective single‐centre analysis, patients who received an Impella CP at the University Hospital Würzburg between 2013 and 2017 due to non‐ischaemic cardiogenic shock were age‐matched 2:1 with patients receiving the device due to ischaemic cardiogenic shock. Inclusion criteria were therapy refractory haemodynamic instability with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction and serum lactate >2.0 mmol/L at implantation. Basic clinical data, indications for mechanical ventricular support, and outcome were obtained in all patients with non‐ischaemic as well as ischaemic shock and compared between both groups. Continuous variables are expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median (quartiles). Categorical variables are presented as count and per cent. Twenty‐five patients had cardiogenic shock due to non‐ischaemic reasons and were compared with 50 patients with cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial infarction. Resuscitation rates before implantation of Impella CP were high (32 vs. 42%; P = 0.402). At implantation, patients with non‐ischaemic cardiogenic shock had lower levels of high‐sensitive troponin T (110.65 [57.87–322.1] vs. 1610 [450.8–3861.5] pg/mL; P = 0.001) and lactate dehydrogenase (377 [279–608] vs. 616 [371.3–1109] U/L; P = 0.007), while age (59 ± 16 vs. 61.7 ± 11; P = 0.401), glomerular filtration rate (43.5 [33.2–59.7] vs. 48 [35.75–69] mL/min; P = 0.290), C‐reactive protein (5.17 [3.27–10.26] vs. 10.97 [3.23–17.2] mg/dL; P = 0.195), catecholamine index (30.6 [10.6–116.9] vs. 47.6 [11.7–90] μg/kg/min; P = 0.663), and serum lactate (2.6 [2.2–5.8] vs. 2.9 [1.3–6.6] mmol/L; P = 0.424) were comparable between both groups. There was a trend for longer duration of Impella support in the non‐ischaemic groups (5 [2–7.5] vs. 3 [2–5.25] days, P = 0.211). Rates of haemodialysis (52 vs. 47%; P = 0.680) and transition to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (13.6 vs. 22.2%; P = 0.521) were comparable. No significant difference was found regarding both 30 day survival (48 vs. 30%; P = 0.126) and in‐hospital mortality (66.7 vs. 74%; P = 0.512), although there was a trend for better survival in the non‐ischaemic group. Conclusions These data suggest that temporary use of the Impella CP device might be a useful therapeutic option for bridge to recovery not only in ischaemic but also in non‐ischaemic cardiogenic shock.
