This study demonstrated for the first time that ISB targeted PKM2 to reduce macrophage inflammation, thereby significantly alleviating MI/R injury.
Introduction: Inflammation is a key factor in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury. Targeting leucocyte-mediated inflammation is an important strategy for MI/R therapy. Iminostilbene (ISB), a simple dibenzoazepine small molecule compound, has a strong anti-neurodegenerative effect. However, no study has shown the cardioprotective effect of ISB. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the role of ISB against MI/R injury and identify its molecular target. Methods: To verify the cardiac protection of ISB in vivo and in vitro, we performed rat MI/R surgery and subjected inflammatory modeling of macrophages. In terms of molecular mechanisms, we designed and synthesized a small molecular probe of ISB and employed it on the click chemistry-activity-based protein profiling technique to fish for ISB targets in macrophages. To identify the target, we applied the competitive inhibition assay, surface-plasmon resonance (SPR), cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA), and drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) assay. Results: In vivo, ISB showed robust anti-myocardial injury activity by improving cardiac function, reducing myocardial infarction, and inhibiting macrophage-mediated inflammation. In vitro, ISB strongly inhibited the transcription and the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines in macrophages. The pyruvate kinase isozyme type M2 (PKM2) was identified as the potential target of ISB through proteomic analysis and the competitive assay was performed for specific binding verification. Further thermodynamic and kinetic experiments showed that ISB was bound to PKM2 in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, in terms of the biological function of ISB on PKM2, ISB reduced the expression of PKM2, thereby reducing the expression of HIFI a and the phosphorylation of STAT3. Conclusion: This study for the first time demonstrated that ISB targeted PKM2 to reduce macrophage inflammation thereby significantly alleviating MI/R injury. (C) 2021 The Authors.
