ANGPTL8 is a negative regulator in pathological cardiac hypertrophy

Abstract Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for heart failure and is considered a target for the treatment of heart failure. However, the mechanisms underlying pathological cardiac hypertrophy remain largely unknown. We aimed to investigate the role of angiopoietin-like p...

description Abstract Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for heart failure and is considered a target for the treatment of heart failure. However, the mechanisms underlying pathological cardiac hypertrophy remain largely unknown. We aimed to investigate the role of angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) in pathological cardiac hypertrophy. We found that serum ANGPTL8 levels were significantly increased in hypertensive patients with cardiac hypertrophy and in mice with cardiac hypertrophy induced by Ang II or TAC. Furthermore, the secretion of ANGPTL8 from the liver was increased during hypertrophic processes, which were triggered by Ang II. In the Ang II- and transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-induced mouse cardiac hypertrophy model, ANGPTL8 deficiency remarkably accelerated cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis with deteriorating cardiac dysfunction. Accordingly, both recombinant human full-length ANGPTL8 (rANGPTL8) protein and ANGPTL8 overexpression significantly mitigated Ang II-induced cell enlargement in primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) and H9c2 cells. Mechanistically, the antihypertrophic effects of ANGPTL8 depended on inhibiting Akt and GSK-3β activation, and the Akt activator SC-79 abolished the antihypertrophic effects of rANGPTL8 in vitro. Moreover, we demonstrated that ANGPTL8 directly bound to the paired Ig-like receptor PIRB (LILRB3) by RNA-seq and immunoprecipitation-mass screening. Remarkably, the antihypertrophic effects of ANGPTL8 were largely blocked by anti-LILRB3 and siRNA-LILRB3. Our study indicated that ANGPTL8 served as a novel negative regulator of pathological cardiac hypertrophy by binding to LILRB3 (PIRB) and inhibiting Akt/GSK3β activation, suggesting that ANGPTL8 may provide synergistic effects in combination with AT1 blockers and become a therapeutic target for cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure.
