Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 301: H984-H993, 2011. First published June 10, 2011; doi:10.1152/ajpheart.00428.2011.-Reactive oxygen species (ROS) induce matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity that mediates hypertrophy and cardiac remodeling. Adiponectin (APN), an adipokine, modulates cardiac hypertrophy, but it is unknown if APN inhibits ROS-induced cardiomyocyte remodeling. We tested the hypothesis that APN ameliorates ROS-induced cardiomyocyte remodeling and investigated the mechanisms involved. Cultured adult rat ventricular myocytes (ARVM) were pretreated with recombinant APN (30 mu g/ml, 18 h) followed by exposure to physiologic concentrations of H2O2 (1-200 mu M). ARVM hypertrophy was measured by [H-3]leucine incorporation and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) gene expression by RT-PCR. MMP activity was assessed by in-gel zymography. ROS was induced with angiotensin (ANG)-II (3.2 mg.kg(-1).day(-1) for 14 days) in wild-type (WT) and APN-deficient (APN-KO) mice. Myocardial MMPs, tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs), p-AMPK, and p-ERK protein expression were determined. APN significantly decreased H2O2-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by decreasing total protein, protein synthesis, ANF, and BNP expression. H2O2-induced MMP-9 and MMP-2 activities were also significantly diminished by APN. APN significantly increased p-AMPK in both nonstimulated and H2O2-treated ARVM. H2O2-induced p-ERK activity and NF-kappa B activity were both abrogated by APN pretreatment. ANG II significantly decreased myocardial p-AMPK and increased p-ERK expression in vivo in APN-KO vs. WT mice. ANG II infusion enhanced cardiac fibrosis and MMP-2-to-TIMP-2 and MMP-9-to-TIMP-1 ratios in APN-KO vs. WT mice. Thus APN inhibits ROS-induced cardiomyocyte remodeling by activating AMPK and inhibiting ERK signaling and NF-kappa B activity. Its effects on ROS and ultimately on MMP expression define the protective role of APN against ROS-induced cardiac remodeling.
