Impact of diminazene aceturate on renin-angiotensin system, infectious myocarditis and skeletal myositis in mice: An in vitro and in vivo study.

Abstract：

:Although renin-angiotensin system (RAS) imbalance is manifested in cardiomyopathies with different etiologies, the impact of RAS effectors on Chagas cardiomyopathy and skeletal myositis is poorly understood. Given that diminazene aceturate (DMZ) shares trypanocidal, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and angiotensin-(1-7) stimulatory effects, we investigated the impact of DMZ on cardiomyocytes infection in vitro, renin-angiotensin system, Chagas cardiomyopathy and skeletal myositis in vivo. Cardiomyocytes and T. cruzi were used to evaluate DMZ toxicity in vitro. The impact of 20-days DMZ treatment (1 mg/kg) was also investigated in uninfected and T. cruzi-infected mice as follows: control uninfected and untreated, uninfected treated with DMZ, infected untreated and infected treated with DMZ. DMZ had low toxicity on cardiomyocytes, induced dose-dependent antiparasitic activity on T. cruzi trypomastigotes, and reduced parasite load but not infection rates in cardiomyocytes. DMZ increased ACE2 activity and angiotensin-(1-7) plasma levels but exerted no interference on angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity, ACE, ACE2 and angiotensin II levels in uninfected and infected mice. DMZ treatment also reduced IFN-γ and IL-2 circulating levels but was ineffective in attenuating parasitemia, MCP-1, IL-10, anti-T. cruzi IgG, nitrite/nitrate and malondialdehyde production, myocarditis and skeletal myositis compared to infected untreated animals. As the antiparasitic effect of DMZ in vitro did not manifest in vivo, this drug exhibited limited relevance to the treatment of Chagas disease. Although DMZ is effective in upregulating angiotensin-(1-7) levels, this molecule does not act as a potent modulator of T. cruzi infection, which can establish heart and skeletal muscle parasitism, lipid oxidation and inflammatory damage, even in the presence of high concentrations of this RAS effector.
