CTRP9 is a newly identified adiponectin paralog with established metabolic-regulatory properties. However, the role of CTRP9 in post-myocardial infarction (post-MI) remodeling remains completely unknown. This study determined whether C1q/TNF-related protein-9 (CTRP9) may regulate cardiac remodeling following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and elucidated the underlying mechanisms. Male adult mice were subject to AMI by left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) ligation or sham surgery, and treated with saline (vehicle) or globular CTRP9 via peritoneal implant osmotic-pumps for 6 weeks. H9C2 cardiac cell lines were utilized in vitro for determining underlying mechanisms. Adipocyte CTRP9 expression and plasma CTRP9 levels were both significantly reduced after AMI. Compared to vehicle, CTRP9 treatment improved animal survival rate (P<0.05), restored cardiac function (P<0.05), attenuated adverse remodeling (P<0.01), and ameliorated cardiomyocyte apoptosis and fibrosis following AMI (P<0.01). Among multiple anti-remodeling molecules determined, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), protein kinase-A (PKA), and Akt were significantly activated in CTRP9-treated heart. Surprisingly, CTRP9 remains cardioprotective in cardiac-specific AMPK-DN mice. Additional in vitro experiments demonstrated that administration of either PKA inhibitor or PKA-specific siRNA virtually abolished CTRP9’s anti-apoptotic effect (P<0.05), whereas inhibition of Akt is less effective in blocking CTRP9 cardioprotection. Finally, CTRP9 phosphorylates BAD at its multiple anti-apoptotic sites, an effect blocked by PKA inhibitor. We demonstrate that adipokine CTRP9 attenuates adverse cardiac remodeling following AMI, largely via a PKA-dependent pathway.
