Accelerated FASTK mRNA degradation induced by oxidative stress is responsible for the destroyed myocardial mitochondrial gene expression and respiratory function in alcoholic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract：

:Chronic alcoholism disrupts mitochondrial function and often results in alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM). Fas-activated serine/threonine kinase (FASTK) is newly recognized as a key post-transcriptional regulator of mitochondrial gene expression. However, the modulatory role of FASTK in cardiovascular pathophysiology remains totally unknown. In experimental ACM models, cardiac FASTK expression markedly declined. Ethanol directly suppressed FASTK expression at post-transcriptional level through NADPH oxidase-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS). Ethanol destabilized FASTK mRNA 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) and accelerated its decay, which was blocked by the clearance of ROS. Regnase-1 (Reg1), a ribonuclease regulating mRNA stability, was induced by ROS in ethanol-stimulated cardiomyocytes. Reg1 directly bound to FASTK mRNA 3'-UTR and promoted its degradation, whereas silencing of Reg1 reversed ethanol-induced FASTK downregulation. Compared to wild type control, alcohol-related myocardial morphological (hypertrophy, fibrosis and cardiomyocyte apoptosis) and functional (reduced ejection fraction and compromised cardiomyocyte contraction) anomalies were worsened in FASTK deficient mice. Mechanistically, FASTK ablation repressed NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6 (MTND6, a mitochondrial gene encoding a subunit of complex I) mRNA production and reduced complex I-supported respiration. Importantly, cardiomyocyte-specific upregulation of FASTK through intra-cardiac AAV9-cTNT injection mitigated myocardial mitochondrial dysfunction and restrained ACM progression. In vitro study showed that overexpression of FASTK ameliorated ethanol-induced MTND6 mRNA downregulation, complex I inactivation, and cardiomyocyte death, whereas these beneficial effects were counteracted by rotenone, a complex I inhibitor. Collectively, ROS-accelerated FASTK mRNA degradation via Reg1 underlies chronic ethanol ingestion-associated mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiomyopathy. Restoration of FASTK expression through genetic approaches might be a promising therapeutic strategy for ACM.
