摘要

Dysregulated proteostasis is a hallmark of aging. We investigated how efficiently proteostatic adaptations to chronic cardiac cyclic-adenosine-monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent stress change with aging in mice harboring marked cardiac-specific over-expression of adenylyl cyclase VIII (TGAC8). We assessed protein quality control mechanisms (PQC) (ubiquitin proteasome system, autophagic flux via macroautophagy, and mitophagy) in left ventricles of TGAC8 and wild-type littermates (WT) at 3–4 and 17–21 months of age. At 3–4 months, TGAC8 exhibited markers of increased autophagic flux (microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B light chain 3B (LC3), p62, and their phospho-forms) and enhanced canonical mitophagy signaling (PARKIN, p62S405 and p62S349 receptors), confirming a more efficient proteostasis, vs WT. In aged TGAC8, however, the PQC mechanisms were overwhelmed by proteotoxic stress, manifested in insufficient proteasome activity, slower autophagic flux, and increased mitochondrial dysfunction (network fragmentation). The accumulation of protein aggregates (increased ratio of insoluble/soluble protein fractions), of lipofuscin bodies and of desmin cardiac preamyloid oligomers, and of LC3+- and p62+-inclusions of aberrant sizes was increased in aged TGAC8 compared to young TGAC8. Thus, while increased proteostatic mechanisms maintain cardiac health in TGAC8 in youth (3–4 months), long-term exposure to sustained activation of the AC/cAMP/PKA/Ca2+ signaling axis results in severe proteostasis insufficiency in aged TGAC8, leading to cardiomyopathy and accelerated cardiac aging.
