Single-cell RNA sequencing in donor and end-stage heart failure patients identifies NLRP3 as a therapeutic target for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy

Mengxia Fu,

Songren Shu
et al.

Abstract: Background Dilation may be the first right ventricular change and accelerates the progression of threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias and heart failure for patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), but the treatment for right ventricular dilation remains limited. Methods Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of blood and biventricular myocardium from 8 study participants was performed, including 6 end-stage heart fa… Show more

“…Fu and colleagues took advantage of the same murine model to test a different pharmacological intervention aimed at reducing proinflammatory macrophages [ 63 ]. Starting from single-cell RNA sequencing of myocardial samples from ACM patients, the authors highlighted an enrichment of pro-inflammatory macrophages characterized by the expression of Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), which was suggested to play a role in the inflammatory response and was proposed as a possible target.…”

“…Consequently, Dsg2 mut/mut mice were treated over a 4 week period with either MCC950, a compound shown to inhibit NLRP3 activation, or PBS. Impaired ventricular function, increased cardiac fibrosis, and accumulation of pro-inflammatory macrophages became evident in the PBS-infused group, while these changes were alleviated in MCC950-treated mice [ 63 ]. Taken together, these results raised the possibility that targeting immune signaling could represent a novel approach for ACM therapy.…”
