Monoamine oxidases (MAO) are mitochondrial enzymes that catabolize pro-hypertrophic neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and serotonin, generating hydrogen peroxide. Since excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and catecholamines are major contributors to the pathophysiology of congestive heart failure, MAO could play an important role in this process. Here we investigated the role of MAO-A in maladaptive hypertrophy and heart failure. We report that MAO-A activity is triggered in isolated neonatal and adult myocytes upon stimulation with NE, followed by increase in cell size, ROS production, and signs of maladaptive hypertrophy. All these in vitro changes occur in part independently from α- and β-adrenergic receptor-operated signaling and are inhibited by the specific MAO-A inhibitor clorgyline. In mice with left ventricular (LV) dilation and pump failure due to pressure overload, NE catabolism by MAO-A is increased accompanied by exacerbated oxidative stress. MAO-A inhibition prevents these changes, and also reverses fetal gene re-programming, metalloproteinase and caspase-3 activation as well as myocardial apoptosis. The specific role of MAO-A was further tested in mice expressing a dominant-negative MAO-A (MAO-Aneo), which were more protected against pressure overload than their wild type littermates. In addition to adrenergic receptor-dependent mechanisms, enhanced MAO-A activity coupled with increased intramyocardial NE availability results in increased ROS generation, contributing to maladaptive remodeling and LV dysfunction in hearts subjected to chronic stress.
