摘要: Background-The molecular mechanisms through which high-demand pacing induce myocardial dysfunction remain unclear. Methods and Results-We created atrioventricular block in pigs using dependent right ventricular septal pacing for 6 months. Echocardiography was performed to evaluate dyssynchrony between pacing (n=6) and sham control (n=6) groups. Microarray and enrichment analyses were used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the left ventricular (LV) myocardium between pacing and sham control groups. Histopathological and protein changes were also analyzed and an A cell pacing model was also performed. Pacing significantly increased mechanical dyssynchrony. Enrichment analysis using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis and the activation z-score analysis method demonstrated that there were 5 DEGs (ABCA1, APOD, CLU, LY96, and SERPINF1) in the LV septum (z-score=- 0.447) and 5 DEGs (APOD, CLU, LY96, MSR1, and SERPINF1) in the LV free wall (z-score=- 1.000) inhibited the liver X receptor/retinoid X receptor (LXR/RXR) pathway, and 4 DEGs (ACTA2, MYL1, PPP2R3A, and SNAI2) activated the integrin-linked kinase (ILK) pathway in the LV septum (z-score=1.000). The pacing group had a larger cell size, higher degree of myolysis and fibrosis, and increased expression of intracellular lipid, inflammatory cytokines, and apoptotic markers than the sham control group. The causal relationships between pacing and DEGs related to LXR/RXR and ILK pathways, apoptosis, fibrosis, and lipid expression after pacing were confirmed in the cell pacing model. Luciferase reporter assay in the cell pacing model also supported inhibition of the LXR pathway by pacing. Conclusions-Right ventricular septal-dependent pacing was associated with persistent LV dyssynchrony-induced cardiomyopathy through inhibition of the LXR/RXR pathway.
