Key result
ICM associates with PRKACA-GSK3β pathway activation while DCM links to ROCK1-vimentin signaling and mitophagy.
Why the study?
A comprehensive understanding of the proteome and phosphoproteome dynamics in ICM and DCM was lacking, hindering knowledge of biological characteristics and signaling differences between these two primary heart failure etiologies.
Observational
Distinguishes signaling pathways in ischemic versus dilated cardiomyopathy; leaves open etiology-specific therapeutic targets pending validation.
Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are the two primary etiologies of end-stage heart failure. However, there remains a dearth of comprehensive understanding the global perspective and the dynamics of the proteome and phosphoproteome in ICM and DCM, which hinders the profound comprehension of pivotal biological characteristics as well as differences in signal transduction activation mechanisms between these two major types of heart failure. We conducted high-throughput quantification proteomics and phosphoproteomics analysis of clinical heart tissues with ICM or DCM, which provided us the system-wide molecular insights into pathogenesis of clinical heart failure in both ICM and DCM. Both protein and phosphorylation expression levels exhibit distinct separation between heart failure and normal control heart tissues, highlighting the prominent characteristics of ICM and DCM. By integrating with omics results, Western blots, phosphosite-specific mutation, chemical intervention, and immunofluorescence validation, we found a significant activation of the PRKACA-GSK3β signaling pathway in ICM. This signaling pathway influenced remolding of the microtubule network and regulated the critical actin filaments in cardiac construction. Additionally, DCM exhibited significantly elevated mitochondria energy supply injury compared to ICM, which induced the ROCK1-vimentin signaling pathway activation and promoted mitophagy. Our study not only delineated the major distinguishing features between ICM and DCM but also revealed the crucial discrepancy in the mechanisms between ICM and DCM. This study facilitates a more profound comprehension of pathophysiologic heterogeneity between ICM and DCM and provides a novel perspective to assist in the discovery of potential therapeutic targets for different types of heart failure.

Liu et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Ischemic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy. Ischemic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy vs. Normal control heart tissues was evaluated on Proteome and phosphoproteome differences. Ischemic cardiomyopathy exhibited activation of the PRKACA-GSK3β signaling pathway, whereas dilated cardiomyopathy showed ROCK1-vimentin pathway activation and promoted mitophagy.
