摘要
Thioredoxin1 (Trx1) inhibits hypertrophy and exhibits protective functions in the heart. To elucidate further the cardiac functions of Trx1, we used a DNA microarray analysis, with hearts from transgenic mice with cardiac- specific overexpression of Trx1 (Tg-Trx1, n = 4) and nontransgenic controls (n = 4). Expression of a large number of genes is regulated in Tg-Trx1, with a greater number of genes downregulated, versus upregulated, at high-fold changes. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1gamma) gene was among the top 50 significantly upregulated genes. By pathway analyses, we found that genes involved in both mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and the TCA cycle were upregulated in Tg-Trx1. We confirmed upregulation of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) components and mitochondrial transcription factor A in Tg-Trx1. The activity of citrate synthase and COX and the cardiac ATP content were significantly higher in Tg-Trx1. A transcription factor binding-site analysis showed that upregulated genes frequently contained binding sites for nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1). Expression of NRF1 and PGC-1gamma was upregulated in Tg-Trx1, and Trx1 stimulated the transcriptional activity of NRF1 and NRF2 in cardiac myocytes. These results suggest that, in cardiac myocytes, Trx1 upregulates mitochondrial proteins and enhances mitochondrial functions, possibly through PGC-1alpha and NRFs.
