Abstract:
:Nkx2.5 and serum response factor (SRF) are critically important transcription factors in cardiac morphogenesis. They are also widely expressed in adult cardiomyocytes, but there is little data to indicate their possible role in adult cardiac cells. In this paper we demonstrate that the interaction of Nkx2.5 and SRF in cardiac-specific gene regulation is different between neonatal and adult cardiomyocytes. Our experimental model utilizes transient transfection and adenovirus mediated gene transfer of the proximal promoter fragment of the cardiac isoform of the sodium-calcium exchanger gene (NCX1). This promoter construct (NCX184) contains a single Nkx2.5-response element (NKE) and a single serum response element (CArG). In rat neonatal cardiomyocytes NCX184 activity is substantially induced with Nkx2.5 or SRF and additively with both. Mutagenesis of these NKE and CArG elements demonstrated the specificity of the interactions, which was confirmed with gel retardation analysis of cardiac ventricular tissue. In contrast, in adult cardiomyocytes, co-infection of Nkx2.5 and SRF adenovirus vectors showed Nkx2.5 induction but SRF did not have additive effects on NCX1 promoter regulation. As opposed to NCX1, the proximal atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) promoter was regulated identically in response to SRF and Nkx2.5 in both adult and neonatal cardiomyocytes. These results show that Nkx2.5-SRF interactions are capable of producing different transcriptional responses in adult versus neonatal cardiomyocytes, implying important differences in NCX1 promoter tertiary complex formation dependent on developmental stage.
