Hypobaric Hypoxia and Heart
Edit

Under hypobaric hypoxia contidition, the principal impact on humans is due to the low atmospheric pressure  and the subsequent proportional decrease in partial oxygen pressure (PO2)  in the inspired air, generating a reduction in the bioavailability of oxygen in organs, tissues and cells at high altitude.

Hypoxia hypobarica cardiac hypertrphy oxidative stress kinases inflammation

1. Introduction

Many people are exposed to high altitudes, where more than 140 million of them live permanently at an elevation > 2500 m above sea level, and approximately 40 million individuals are exposed to high altitudes for hours or days[1]. It is important to highlight that high altitude presents an extreme environment (i.e., extreme temperatures, low air humidity and high ultraviolet radiation level), which is challenging for the human body, making it very difficult to adapt to this condition [2][3]. Some ethnic groups, such as the Tibetan people, have undergone adaptive changes in their metabolism[4].

The classification according to the time of exposure to hypobaric hypoxia is very important, since there are three well-determined conditions: chronic hypobaric exposure that represents people who live permanently at high altitude (Andes and Himalayas)[5] and acute exposure that represents people who are exposed to high altitude for hours or days (tourists and climbers). However, in recent years, a new condition associated with high altitude has been reported in South America as long-term chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia; this type of exposure refers to people commuting to work at high altitudes for several days and returning to sea level to rest for the same number of days for years. This condition is termed the “Chilean miner model” of exposure to chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia[6].

One of the principal pathologies developed under hypobaric hypoxia, both chronic and intermittent, is high-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH)[7][8]. HAPH is produced initially by hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV), which begins as a compensatory mechanism to distribute the blood to more ventilated areas of the lung[9], mediated through calcium release that acts on Rho-associated protein kinase and the actin-myosin contractile apparatus[10]. Additionally, the activation of molecular pathways and morphological changes, such as uncoupled endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 1 and 6 (IL-1 and IL-6), and oxidative stress, among others, lead to pulmonary arterial remodeling and ultimately definitive pulmonary hypertension (PH)[11][12]. Thus, the principal consequence of HAPH is pressure overload (PO)-induced right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) in the long term[13][14].

Cardiac hypertrophy is defined as an enlargement of the heart wall with an increase in the volume of cardiomyocytes; there are two forms of cardiac hypertrophy, namely, physiological, as occurs in response to exercise, and pathological, as occurs in response to abnormal stress, such as hypertension, pressure overload, endocrine disorders, myocardial infarction, and contractile dysfunction from inherited mutations in sarcomeric or cytoskeletal proteins[15][16]. Initially, this acclimatization response allows normal wall stress function, preserving right ventricle (RV) function, but in the long term, this acclimatization hypertrophy mechanism is overrun; thus, contractile dysfunction and RV dilatation occur, with a subsequent increase in wall stress that stimulates further hypertrophy, leading to a vicious cycle in the impairment of RV performance, which derives in RV failure and eventually leads to death[17][18][19].

Despite the large amount of information that explains RVH by PH-induced PO, we cannot ignore that hypoxia triggers the activation of several molecular pathways that could contribute to both the hypertrophic effect and the dilation process in RV. In fact, studies under hypoxic conditions have determined the important role of oxidative stress[20][21], kinase activation[22][23] and inflammatory processes[24] as possible contributors to RVH development and to the transition to right heart failure (RHF)[25]. However, it is important to highlight that the control mechanisms of RVH and heart failure (HF) in hypobaric hypoxia are still not well understood, and cardiac-directed therapies are rather scarce[23]. Therefore, the aim is to describe and update the knowledge on the molecular pathways involved in RVH and RHF under hypobaric hypoxia, including oxidative stress, protein kinase activation and inflammatory processes, as well as the current therapeutic approaches for these conditions.

2. Oxidative stress, inflammation and kinase activity

The reactive oxygen species (ROS) molecules play an important role in several cardiac physiological processes, such as the regulation of heart development and cardiomyocyte maturation, cardiac calcium handling[26], as well as excitation and contraction coupling[27][28]. However, when the level of ROS increases due to environmental or chemical stimuli and is not compensated by the endogenous antioxidant system, such as superoxide dismutases (SODs), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase/reductase (GSH-PX/RX) and peroxiredoxin/thioredoxin[28], oxidative stress is triggered. Moreover, studies indicate that oxidative stress and inflammation are closely associated with the progression of myocardial hypertrophy and myocardial infarction[29][30][31]. Studies suggest that oxidative stress can activate nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) in cardiomyocytes, a transcription factor implicated in the regulation of the inflammatory response, which promotes cardiac remodeling and failure[32][33].

Many studies in both humans and animals show an increase in ROS in plasma, lipids and tissues after exposure to acute or chronic hypobaric hypoxia (3600–7620 m, 13–8% O2)[2][21][34][35][36]. Further support is provided by studies of murine hearts under acute hypobaric hypoxia (10 h, 4570 m, 12% O2), showing an upregulation in the transcription levels of pro-oxidant molecules[37]. In other words, oxidative stress under any condition of hypoxia triggers redox signaling pathways in the heart, which in some cases is related to the transcription factor induced by hypoxia, termed hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α, which will be described in detail later.

Cardiac hypertrophy has also been a focus as a consequence of the role of the superfamily of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) as important mediators of hypertrophic stimuli in the heart[22][38]. It is important to highligh that JNK, p38 and ERK are considered redox-sensitive kinases, and their activity is usually reported to regulate inflammation and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes[39][40].

Although studies have shown an important role of p38 and JNK in cardiac hypertrophy[41][42], very few studies have been conducted under hypobaric hypoxia conditions. Some studies regarding the activity of JNK and p38 in rats showed an inactive state of these proteins in the heart, specifically in RVH, under both intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (8 h/d, 5 days, 7000 m) and acute hypobaric hypoxia (9 h, 8000 m) exposure[43][44]. Conversely, p38 presents four isoforms, α, β, γ (also known as Erk6 or SAPK3), and δ (also known as SAPK4), and their expression depends on the tissue and the cardiac process, since only p38α and p38β2 are related to cardiac ventricular hypertrophy[45]. In addition, studies have demonstrated that under another hypoxic condition (chronic normobaric hypoxia), p38, specifically the α subunit, could have a role in heart failure, as will be discussed later.

Likewise, studies in mice with RVH induced by hypobaric hypoxia (5380 m, 10% O2) showed a relation with MAP kinase kinase kinase-2 (MEKK2) and the ERK5 pathway, where MEKK2 can coordinately activate signals through MEK5/ERK5 protein kinases, leading to an increase in inflammatory molecules such as interleukin 1β (IL-1β), stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR-4) triggering the hypertrophic process[23]. In addition, studies have shown an increase in H2O2-induced mirR-143-3p expression, which increases ERK5 activity in myocardial hypertrophy[46]. However, this is not the only kinase involved in this condition. Hypoxia exposure produces an alteration of protein kinase C (PKC), considered a key regulator in PO-induced cardiac hypertrophy, and its activation can be modulated by ROS derived from mitochondrial complex III[47]. Additionally, it is important to highlight that, similar to p38, PKC has different isoforms (α, β, ε, δ, γ, η, θ and ζ), and their expression depends on factors such as hypoxic stimuli[48], zinc administration[49] and ROS[50].

Consequently, studies in rats with RVH induced by hypobaric hypoxia (380 mmHg, 5500 m) have shown upregulation and activation of PKC-α only in RV[48]. Interestingly, later studies showed that PKC-α produces an increase in galectin-3 expression, which subsequently promotes cardiac fibrosis and HF[51]. Therefore, the results are interesting to determine in future studies the activation and contribution of this PKC-α-galectin-3 pathway in RVH under hypobaric hypoxia conditions. On the other hand, there are some crucial events that characterize this transition from compensatory cardiac hypertrophy to decompensated hypertrophy and HF[52]. The most relevant events in this transition are cardiac fibrosis (through the differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts to myofibroblasts), apoptosis and inflammation[24][25], all of them being associated with oxidative stress.

2.1. Fibrosis

Supporting the role of fibrosis, a recent study in rats with RVH induced by hypobaric hypoxia (4500 m) exposure showed a fibrotic process in the RV[53]. A study in mice under other types of hypoxia (chronic normobaric hypoxia, 10% O2) showed that animals with PO-induced RVH and HF exhibited increased p38α expression, which was related to several effects, such as increased collagen and smooth muscle actin α (α-SMA) content leading to fibrosis[54]. Additionally, it is important to highlight that p38α is necessary for the differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts to myofibroblasts through the nuclear translocation of myocardin-related transcription factor A (MRTF-A)[54]. However, there are other molecules induced by hypoxia, such as IL-6, endothelin-1 (ET-1) and transforming growth factor α and β (TGF-α and TGF-β), that are related to the transdifferentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts[55], highlighting the key role of IL-6[56], as will be discussed later.

Myofibroblasts are not part of normal cardiac tissue and appear only following cardiac injury[57]. This type of cell is considered a contractile cell due to the generation of bridges between the internal microfilament and the extracellular fibronectin domains of the myofibroblast through a specialized adhesion complex termed the fibronexus, functioning as a contractile mechanism that produces a force on the surrounding extracellular matrix[57]. Myofibroblasts can also produce and secrete several cytokines, chemokines and growth factors (IL-1α and β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, IL-8, MCP-1, TGF-β, among others) by themselves, which are key in cellular events that lead to inflammatory and fibrotic responses during cardiac stress [58]. It is important to highlight that like fibroblasts, myofibroblasts are not excitable cells; therefore, the increased number of these cells decreases myocyte-to-myocyte coupling through gap junctions[57], which produces a barrier between cardiomyocytes contributing to the development of HF; however, more studies are needed.

Regarding collagen, studies focused on cardiac fibroblasts of RV have shown activation of PKCβ2 and PKCδ, producing an increase in collagen content under hypoxic (10% O2) conditions[59]. On the other hand, it has been demonstrated that hypoxia-modulated ORAI1 channels (a nonvoltage-gated channel) that regulate extracellular Ca2+ entry through the stromal interacting molecule-1 (STIM1) protein might contribute to RVH and RHF. In addition, these proteins are also expressed in cardiac fibroblasts contributing to cardiac fibrosis[19].

2.2. Inflammation

As mentioned above, another important factor is inflammation associated with elevated expression of cytokines, chemokines and transcription factors, such as IL-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), MCP-1 and NF-kB, which might lead to right ventricle dysfunction and failure[24] and might also be present in RVH. MCP-1 plays an important role in monocyte recruitment-induced inflammation in cardiac tissue, since studies show that monocyte recruitment is tightly regulated by the interaction between MCP-1 and its receptor CCR2 in myocardial damage[60][61].

Several studies have described that in different PH models, the inflammatory molecule IL-6 is increased both in plasma and RV tissue, which could be involved in cardiac function and morphology[33]. This is supported by a study by Nehra et al.[14] in rats with RVH induced by hypobaric hypoxia (7620 m) showing an increase in circulating levels of TNF-α and IL-6, and these molecules were associated with a decompensated transition to RHF. Moreover, a recent study in mice with transverse aortic constriction shows new insight into hypoxia-induced mitogenic factor (HIMF), a cytokine-like protein that could induce cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis and myofibroblast differentiation through IL-6[62], which results in an interesting pathway to be analyzed in the transition to HF under this particular condition. However, a study in 15 healthy humans (age: 39 ± 10.2; 4 women, 11 men; BIM 23.6 ± 2) of European ancestry exposed for 72 h at 3830 m (acute hypobaric hypoxia) determined no changes in the plasma levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and NF-kB. However, the ROS production rate (O2· and ·OH) and markers of ROS damage, such as lipid peroxidation, 8-isoPGF2α, 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (products of DNA oxidation) and protein oxidative carbonylation, were significantly increased over time[21].

2.3. Apoptosis

Regarding apoptotic events, studies have shown that hypobaric hypoxia exposure produces an increase in cardiac apoptosis in both rat and mouse models[14][63]. In addition, studies have shown that oxidative stress may further accelerate the development of RHF through the induction of more cardiac apoptosis[64]. In addition, cytokines, such as TNF-α, are also involved in the apoptotic process in cardiomyocytes[65]. It is important to highlight that this molecule is increased by ROS[66]; therefore, we can hypothesize that hypoxia-induced ROS could trigger cardiac apoptosis through TNF-α. This is supported by recent studies in mice and rats that demonstrated that the administration of ROS scavenger molecules, such as nitronyl nitroxide radicals, curcumin and nanocurcumin, under hypobaric hypoxia conditions, prevents oxidative stress and attenuates cardiac apoptosis[14][63].

2.4. HIF-1α

It is important to note that several cytokines and inflammatory processes, such as inflammatory cell migration (monocytes and macrophages) and monocyte differentiation to macrophages, are modulated by HIF-1α under hypoxic conditions [67][68]. Moreover, monocyte maturation to macrophages is accompanied by the production of cytokines and growth factors[61], since macrophages contribute to the release of different cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12 and IL-23[24]. In addition, the cytokine TNF-α produced by macrophages stabilizes and increases the activity of HIF-1α, generating a positive feedback that leads to further differentiation of monocytes to macrophages[68]. It is important to mention that NF-kB is a key mediator in TNF-α-induced HIF-1α stabilization and activation[68]; hence, the relation between hypoxia-induced factors, such as HIF-1α, and inflammatory pathways in macrophages are potentiated. However, the role of HIF-1 in cardiac hypertrophy and HF remains to be determined[67]. A proposed schematic in cardiac myocytes summarizing all these molecular pathways is depicted in Figure 1.

3. Treatment Approaches

3.1. Phytotherapy

Based on the important role of oxidative stress, fibrosis and inflammatory processes, current studies have focused on new therapies to limit ROS production and enhance ROS detoxification as means of ameliorating cardiac disease outcomes[28]. This can be supported by studies in rats exposed to acute hypobaric hypoxia (8000 m), which showed that the administration of an ancestral medicine of Tibet (Rhodiola crenulata) for preventing high-altitude illness decreases arginase 1 activity, oxidative stress and apoptosis and increases eNOS activity in heart tissue[44].

Studies by Nehra et al.[14] have demonstrated that nanocurcumin protects the heart against hypobaric hypoxia effects even better than curcumin. Additionally, the combination of preconditioning physical training plus oral administration of antioxidant nanocurcumin formulation decreases the RVH, circulatory markers of cardiac damage and oxidative stress in rats exposed to hypobaric hypoxia (7620 m, 8% O2) even more than each treatment alone[69]. Finally, the administration of Hippophae rhamnoides L. extract reduced oxidative stress (malondialdehyde level), fibrosis and NF-kB expression in the hearts of rats exposed to hypobaric hypoxia[70].

3.2. Pharmacological and Gene Therapy

Studies in transgenic mice with hypobaric hypoxia-induced RVH showed that target disruption of MEKK2, through insertion of the neomycin resistance gene in the coding sequence, attenuates ERK5 abundance and activation, which is consistent with an attenuation of RVH[23]. It is important to highlight that in this study, a reduction in inflammatory molecules related to the cardiac hypertrophy process, such as IL-1β, MCP-1, SDF-1 and CXCR-4, was also observed[23]. Another interesting approach to improve cardiac outcomes is the use of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers to deliver carbon monoxide in mice exposed to intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (8 h/day, 7 d; 5500 m), which showed improved cardiac function, reduced myocardial apoptosis, and attenuated mitochondrial oxidative stress under treatment, highlighting an anti-inflammatory effect through a decrease in IL-6 and TNF-α levels in plasma[71].

A study in rats exposed to hypobaric hypoxia (5500 m, 380 mm Hg) with administration of salubrinal, a specific inhibitor of eIF2α phosphatase enzyme, showed that this molecule ameliorates RVH and cardiac fibrosis and attenuates oxidative stress and ET-1 levels in serum[72]. All these treatments mentioned would contribute to further support of the pivotal role of ROS, TNF-α and IL-6 molecules in the transition from compensatory cardiac hypertrophy to decompensated hypertrophy and HF under hypobaric hypoxia conditions.

On the other hand, a recent study in rats exposed to hypobaric hypoxia (10% O2) administered soluble macromolecules termed drag-reducing polymers and determined that these drugs attenuate right ventricular dysfunction and hypertrophy[73]. A recent study showed that the administration of atorvastatin increases PKCε, increasing its cardioprotective effects through the inhibition of miR-31 under intermittent hypoxia (5% O2) conditions[74]. This therapy opens a promising avenue to attempt the search for molecules to block deleterious pathways or induce protective pathways. Finally, these pharmacological treatments, either alone or combined, under hypoxic conditions seem to be very challenging. A proposed scheme of the phytotherapy and pharmacological approaches is depicted in Figure 2.

In summary, oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in promoting the activation of some kinases in inducing an inflammatory status in hypobaric hypoxia-induced RVH and HF. Pharmacological therapy, phytotherapy and gene therapy have been attempted with promising results that need to be validated.
