Abstract

Aims

Toll-like receptors (TLR) and apoptosis were indicated as important factors in heart failure. Our aim was to characterize the morphological pattern of apoptosis, TLR2, TLR4, and TLR6 expression in female rat hearts in the model of takotsubo syndrome (TTS).

Main methods

60 Sprague-Dawley female rats were treated with a single dose of 150 mg/kg b.wt. of isoprenaline (ISO) or 0.9% NaCl (controls). Hearts were collected 24, 48, 72?h and 7?days post-ISO injection. 32/60 hearts were used in immunohistopathological studies and 28/60 in real time.

Key findings

Apoptosis was observed 24h post-ISO in cardiomyocytes, 24, 48, 72?h and 7 days post-ISO in infiltrating inflammatory cells, 7?days post-ISO in endothelial cells of vessels. Diffuse TLR4CD68 (CD68, a macrophage marker) and TLR6CD68 positive cells and TLR2, TLR4, TLR6 mononuclear cells were observed in both acute and recovery phase of TTS. In the foci located in the neighborhood of damaged (necrotic/apoptotic) cardiomyocytes in TTS, high (strong) protein expression of TLR2 (TLR2high) was observed: 24, 48, 72?h post-ISO; TLR4high-48 and 72 h post-ISO; TLR6high-48 h post-ISO. Whereas in cardiomyocytes of remote myocardium: TLR2high -72?h post-ISO; TLR4high-24 and 72?h post-ISO; TLR6high-24?h post-ISO. TLR2 mRNA was down-regulated 48 and 72?h post-ISO whereas TLR4 up-regulated 7?days post-ISO.

Significance

The expression pattern of apoptosis and TLR differs in the course of TTS in comparison with the control rats. We hypothesize that innate immunity and apoptosis may play a crucial role in TTS pathophysiology.
