Sacubitril/Valsartan inhibits M1 type macrophages polarization in acute myocarditis by targeting C-type natriuretic peptide.
Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy 2024 April 6
Studies have shown that Sacubitril/valsartan (Sac/Val) can reduce myocardial inflammation in myocarditis mice, in addition to its the recommended treatment of heart failure. However, the underlying mechanisms of Sac/Val in myocarditis remain unclear. C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), one of the targeting natriuretic peptides of Sac/Val, was recently reported to exert cardio-protective and anti-inflammatory effects in cardiovascular systems. Here, we focused on circulating levels of CNP in patients with acute myocarditis (AMC) and whether Sac/Val modulates inflammation by targeting CNP in experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) mice as well as LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells and bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) models. Circulating CNP levels were higher in AMC patients compared to healthy controls, and these levels positively correlated with the elevated inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and monocyte count. In EAM mice, Sac/Val alleviated myocardial inflammation while augmenting circulating CNP levels rather than BNP and ANP, accompanied by reduction in intracardial M1 macrophage infiltration and expression of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6. Furthermore, Sac/Val inhibited CNP degradation and directly blunted M1 macrophage polarization in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells and BMDMs. Mechanistically, the effects might be mediated by the NPR-C/cAMP/JNK/c-Jun signaling pathway apart from NPR-B/cGMP/NF-κB pathway. In conclusion, Sac/Val exerts a protective effect in myocarditis by increasing CNP concentration and inhibiting M1 macrophages polarization.
