Innate immune and inflammatory responses mediated by Toll like receptors (TLRs) have been implicated in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This study examined the role of TLR3 in myocardial injury induced by two models, namely, myocardial infarction (MI) and I/R First, we examined the role of TLR3 in MI. TLR3 deficient (TLR3(-/-)) and wild type (WT) mice were subjected to MI induced by permanent ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery for 21 days. Cardiac function was measured by echocardiography. Next, we examined whether TLR3 contributes to myocardial I/R injury. TLR3(-/-) and WT mice were subjected to myocardial ischemia (45 min) followed by reperfusion for up to 3 days. Cardiac function and myocardial infarct size were examined. We also examined the effect of TLR3 deficiency on I/R-induced myocardial apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine production. TLR3(-/-) mice showed significant attenuation of cardiac dysfunction after MI or I/R Myocardial infarct size and myocardial apoptosis induced by I/R injury were significantly attenuated in TLR3(-/-) mice. MR3 deficiency increases B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) levels and attenuates t,-increased Fas, Fas ligand or CD95L (FasL), Fas-Associated protein with Death Domain (FADD), Box and Bak levels in the myocardium. TLR3 deficiency also attenuates I/R-induced myocardial nuclear factor KappaB (NF-K13) binding activity, Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and Interleukin-1 beta (IL-113) production as well as I/R-induced infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages into the myocardium. TLR3 plays an important role in myocardial injury induced by MI or I/R. The mechanisms involve activation of apoptotic signaling and NF-KB binding activity. Modulation of TLR3 may be an effective approach for ameliorating heart injury in heart attack patients. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
