Dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1a (DYRK1a) contributes to the control of cycling cells, including cardiomyocytes. However, the effects of inhibition of DYRK1a on cardiac function and cycling cardiomyocytes after myocardial infarction (MI) remains unknown. We investigated the impacts of pharmacological inhibition and conditional genetic ablation of DYRK1a on endogenous cardiomyocyte cycling and left ventricular (LV) systolic function in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) MI using αMHC-MerDreMer-Ki67p-RoxedCre::Rox-Lox-tdTomato-eGFP (RLTG) (denoted αDKRC::RLTG) and αMHC-Cre::Fucci2aR::DYRK1aflox/flox mice. We observed that harmine, an inhibitor of DYRK1a, improved LV Ejection Fraction (LVEF) (39.5 ± 1.6% and 29.1 ± 1.6%, harmine versus placebo, respectively), two weeks after I/R MI. Harmine also increased cardiomyocyte cycling after I/R MI in αDKRC::RLTG mice, 10.8 ± 1.5 verses 24.3 ± 2.6 enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (eGFP)+ cardiomyocytes, placebo verses harmine, respectively, p=1.0x10−3). The effects of harmine on LVEF were attenuated in αDKRC::DTA mice that expressed an inducible diphtheria toxin in adult cycling cardiomyocytes. The conditional cardiomyocyte-specific genetic ablation of DYRK1a in αMHC-Cre::Fucci2aR::DYRK1aflox/flox (denoted DYRK1a k/o) mice caused cardiomyocyte hyperplasia at baseline (210 ± 28 vs. 126 ± 5 cardiomyocytes per 40x field, DYRK1a k/o versus controls, respectively, p = 1.7x10−2) without changes in cardiac function compared to controls, or compensatory changes in the expression of other DYRK isoforms. After I/R MI, DYRK1a k/o mice had improved LV function (LVEF 41.8 ± 2.2% and 26.4 ± 0.8%, DYRK1a k/o versus control, respectively, p = 3.7x10−2). RNAseq of cardiomyocytes isolated from αMHC-Cre::Fucci2aR::DYRK1aflox/flox and αMHC-Cre::Fucci2aR mice after I/R MI or Sham surgeries identified enrichment in mitotic cell cycle genes in αMHC-Cre::Fucci2aR::DYRK1aflox/flox compared to αMHC-Cre::Fucci2aR. The pharmacological inhibition or cardiomyocyte-specific ablation of DYRK1a caused baseline hyperplasia and improved cardiac function after I/R MI, with an increase in cell cycle gene expression, suggesting the inhibition of DYRK1a may serve as a therapeutic target to treat MI.
