Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signals through 4 separate G-protein coupled receptor sub-types to elicit a variety of physiologic and pathophysiological effects. We recently reported that PGE2 via its EP3 receptor could reduce cardiac contractility of isolated myocytes and the working heart preparation. We thus hypothesized that there is an imbalance in the EP3/EP4 ratio towards EP3 in the failing heart and that overexpression of EP4 in a mouse model of heart failure would improve cardiac function. Our hypothesis was tested in a mouse model of myocardial infarction (MI) with the use of AAV9-EP4 driven by the myosin heavy chain promoter to overexpress EP4 in the cardiac myocytes. Echocardiography was performed to assess cardiac function. We found that overexpression of EP4 improved shortening fraction (p=0.0025), ejection fraction (p=0.0003), and reduced left ventricular dimension at systole (p=0.0013). Overexpression of EP4 also significantly reduced indices of cardiac hypertrophy and interstitial collagen fraction. Animals treated with AAV9-EP4 also had a significant decrease in TNFα mRNA expression and in the number of macrophages and T cells migrated post MI coupled with a reduction in the expression of iNOS. Overexpression of EP4 improves cardiac function post MI. This may be mediated through reductions in adverse cardiac remodeling or via inhibition of cytokine/chemokine production.
