Abstract

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), a pivotal enzyme in the metabolism of toxic aldehydes produced by oxidative stress, has been demonstrated to play a cardioprotective role in cardiovascular diseases. Antrodia cinnamomea triterpenoids (ACT) is a medicinal mushroom with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and our previous study found that ACT can exert anti-fatty liver effects by regulating ALDH2. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of ACT and its monomer on cardiac hypertrophy and investigate the relationship between its pharmacological mechanism and ALDH2. Through examining cardiac morphology and expression levels of hypertrophic biomarkers, ACT significantly reduced myocardial hypertrophy induced by angiotensin II (Ang II) and transverse aortic constriction (TAC)surgery in wild-type mice, but not in ALDH2 knockout mice. In vitro, ACT and its monomeric dehydrosulphurenic acid (DSA) inhibited the hypertrophic phenotype of Ang II-stimulated neonatal cardiac myocytes (NRCMs) in an ALDH2-dependent manner. Regarding the pharmacological mechanism, it was observed that ACT and DSA restored ALDH2 expression and activity in myocardial tissues of WT-Ang II/TAC mice and Ang II-induced NRCMs. Furthermore, it inhibited oxidative stress and improved mitochondrial quality control (MQC) homeostasis in an ALDH2-dependent manner. We screened SNW1, a transcriptional coactivator, as a DSA-binding protein by "target fishing" and cellular enthusiasm transfer assay techniques and validated that SNW1 promoted ALDH2 transcription and translation levels through synergistic interaction with the transcription factor RXR. In conclusion, the findings demonstrate that ACT/DSA upregulates ALDH2 expression via regulating SNW1/RXR, thereby inhibiting oxidative stress and maintaining MQC homeostasis, and then protects against cardiac hypertrophy.
