Background Marked alterations in the expression of specific genes occur during the development of cardiac hypertrophy in vivo. Little is known, however, about the cis-acting elements that mediate these changes in response to clinically relevant hypertrophic stimuli, such as hemodynamic overload, in intact adult animals.
Methods and Results The left ventricular expression
of a directly injected reporter gene driven by 3542 bp of rat
ß-myosin heavy chain (ß-MHC) promoter was increased 3.0-fold by
aortic constriction (P<.005), an increment similar to
the 3.2-fold increase in the level of the endogenous
ß-MHC mRNA in the same left ventricles. Subsequent analysis
identified a 107-bp ß-MHC promoter sequence (-303/-197) sufficient
to convert a heterologous neutral promoter to one that is
activated by aortic constriction. These sequences contain two
M-CAT elements, which have previously been demonstrated to mediate
inducible expression during
1-adrenergicstimulated
hypertrophy in cultured neonatal cardiac myocytes, and a
GATA element. Although simultaneous mutation of both M-CAT
elements markedly decreased the basal transcriptional activity of an
injected 333-bp ß-MHC promoter, it had no effect on aortic
constriction-stimulated transcription (3.5-fold increase,
P<.005 for both wild type and mutant). In contrast,
mutation of the GATA motif markedly attenuated aortic
constriction-stimulated transcription (1.6-fold, P=NS)
without affecting the basal transcriptional activity. This GATA site
can interact with in vitro translated GATA-4 and compete with an
established GATA site for GATA-4 binding activity in nuclear extracts
from aortic constricted hearts.
Conclusions Basal and aortic constriction-stimulated transcription of the ß-MHC gene is mediated, at least in part, through different mechanisms. A GATA element within ß-MHC sequences -303/-197 plays a role in the transcriptional activation of this gene by aortic constriction.
