Control of beta-myosin heavy chain expression in systemic hypertension and caloric restriction in the rat heart

In the rat left ventricle, both pressure overload induced by abdominal aortic constriction (Abcon) and caloric restriction (CR) induce an increase in the steady-state level of the beta-myosin heavy chain (MHC) protein and mRNA. Both models also induce a concomitant decrease in the alpha-MHC protein and mRNA. The goals of this study were to 1) determine if the changes in MHC expression in the models are due to altered transcription and 2) identify the relative levels of some key factors interacting with the regulatory regions of these genes. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to the following groups: 1) normal control (NC), 2) Abcon, and 3) CR. After 5 wk of experimental manipulations, myocardial nuclei were isolated. These nuclei were used for 1) nuclear run-on assays or 2) nuclear extract, which was prepared and used for gel mobility shift assays (GMSAs). Nuclear run-on assays demonstrated that the increase in beta-MHC mRNA and protein expression in both Abcon and CR can be at least partially attributed to increased transcription. The concomitant decrease in alpha-MHC content can similarly be attributed to a decrease in transcription of this gene. Furthermore, GMSAs demonstrate that nuclear extract from each group interact differently with certain elements known to be important for expression in vitro. CR nuclear extracts have a 25.6 +/- 7.2% decrease (P < 0.05 vs. NC) in interaction with a thyroid-responsive element, a potential repressor of beta-MHC transcription.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
