Regulation of cardiac gene expression during myocardial growth and hypertrophy: molecular studies of an adaptive physiologic response

KR Chien, KU Knowlton, H Zhu and S Chien
Department of Medicine, University of California, San Diego 92093.

Studies from both in vivo and in vitro model systems have provided an initial skeleton of the potential signaling pathways that might regulate cardiac genes during growth and hypertrophy. One of the first detectable changes in cardiac gene expression is the activation of a program of immediate early gene expression, which is distinct for the hypertrophic response, and is conserved in multiple models of both in vivo and in vitro hypertrophy. Diverse and distinct hormonal stimuli have been documented to activate several features of the hypertrophic response, including several autocrine and paracrine factors. Although the signaling mechanisms that link these factors with the activation of cardiac gene expression are unclear, recent studies suggest that the activation of protein kinase C may represent one of the most proximal common events in this signaling cascade. The activation of cardiac target genes induces a program of embryonic gene expression, including the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) gene. The cis sequences that mediate cardiac-specific and inducible expression of an embryonic marker gene (ANF) can be segregated by studies in both cultured cell models and in vivo models of hypertrophy in transgenic mice, suggesting that specific sets of regulatory elements may exist for inducible expression of this class of cardiac gene responses. However, the induction of a constitutively expressed contractile protein gene (MLC- 2) is mediated by a set of conserved elements that regulate both cardiac-specific and inducible expression. Finally, a subset of cardiac muscle genes appears to be noninducible during in vivo or in vitro hypertrophy in myocardial cells, demonstrating specificity of transcriptional activation during the hypertrophic process. The development of a bona fide in vivo pressure overload model of hypertrophy in a small animal model that can be genetically manipulated, such as the in vivo murine model recently described, should allow a rigorous analysis of the role of these specific signaling mechanisms in the activation of the responses of cardiac genes during the hypertrophic process in vivo.
