mTORC1 hyperactivation and resultant suppression of macroautophagy contribute to the induction of cardiomyocyte necroptosis by catecholamine surges.
Physiological Reports 2024 March
Previous studies revealed a controversial role of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and mTORC1-regulated macroautophagy in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced cardiac injury. Here we investigated the role of mTORC1 and potential underlying mechanisms in ISO-induced cardiomyocyte necrosis. Two consecutive daily injections of ISO (85 mg/kg, s.c.) or vehicle control (CTL) were administered to C57BL/6J mice with or without rapamycin (RAP, 5 mg/kg, i.p.) pretreatment. Western blot analyses showed that myocardial mTORC1 signaling and the RIPK1-RIPK3-MLKL necroptotic pathway were activated, mRNA expression analyses revealed downregulation of representative TFEB target genes, and Evan's blue dye uptake assays detected increased cardiomyocyte necrosis in ISO-treated mice. However, RAP pretreatment prevented or significantly attenuated the ISO-induced cardiomyocyte necrosis, myocardial inflammation, downregulation of TFEB target genes, and activation of the RIPK1-RIPK3-MLKL pathway. LC3-II flux assays confirmed the impairment of myocardial autophagic flux in the ISO-treated mice. In cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, mTORC1 signaling was also activated by ISO, and inhibition of mTORC1 by RAP attenuated ISO-induced cytotoxicity. These findings suggest that mTORC1 hyperactivation and resultant suppression of macroautophagy play a major role in the induction of cardiomyocyte necroptosis by catecholamine surges, identifying mTORC1 inhibition as a potential strategy to treat heart diseases with catecholamine surges.
