ABSTRACT |
|---|
|
|
|---|
Macrophages are
found in the heart as part of the inflammatory response. To determine
whether macrophages could contribute to myocardial dysfunction, rat
ventricular myocytes were isolated and cocultured with elicited
peritoneal macrophages in media containing tumor necrosis factor-
(TNF-
), interleukin (IL)-1
, or endotoxin for 4 h. Cardiac
myocytes were electrically stimulated, and fractional shortening was
determined using videomicroscopy. When myocytes alone or myocytes in
coculture with macrophages separated by a membrane were challenged with
TNF-
, lipopolysaccharide, or IL-1, fractional shortening did not
decrease. When macrophages were allowed to contact myocytes, fractional
shortening decreased from 20.1 ± 0.9% in unchallenged
macrophage-myocyte cocultures to 15.5 ± 0.9, 16.3 ± 0.8, and
15.8 ± 0.6% when challenged for 4 h with TNF-
, endotoxin, or
IL-1
, respectively (P < 0.05).
Myocytes had a mean adherence of 4.2 ± 0.2 macrophages after
TNF-
challenge compared with 2.6 ± 0.3 for controls
(P < 0.05). The number of adherent
macrophages was associated with the decrease in fractional shortening.
Anti-intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) reduced macrophage
adherence and prevented the decrease in fractional shortening. This
decrease was also prevented by desferoxamine, superoxide dismutase, and
nitro-L-arginine methyl ester. This suggests that activated
macrophages adhere to myocytes via ICAM-1, and adherent macrophages
decrease their contractile function via TNF-
, oxygen free radicals,
and nitric oxide.

INTRODUCTION |
|---|
|
|
|---|
MACROPHAGES ARE FOUND in the heart after
ischemia-reperfusion (3, 14), in inflammatory cardiomyopathies
(1, 6, 20), after orthotopic heart transplantation (28), and in animal models of sepsis (6, 20). Activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils can
kill myocytes (8) and contribute to decreased myocardial contractility
after ischemia-reperfusion (34) and in models of sepsis (12).
However, mononuclear leukocytes, not neutrophils, are the predominant
leukocyte population within the heart in a number of inflammatory
states (1, 6, 32, 37). Whether the macrophage subset contributes is not
known. Macrophages release tumor necrosis factor-
(TNF-
), nitric
oxide (NO), and reactive oxygen intermediates, all of which can
contribute to decreased cardiac myocyte contractility (4, 9, 30, 35).
Therefore, intramyocardial macrophages could conceivably contribute to
myocardial depression, although very little is known about the
interaction of macrophages with cardiac myocytes.
Our goal was to determine whether macrophages could alter cardiac
myocyte function. To address this issue, we first cocultured cardiac
myocytes and macrophages with various inflammatory mediators and
measured cardiac myocyte contractile function. We also examined macrophage adhesion to myocytes and the role of receptor-mediated adhesion in myocyte contractile dysfunction. Finally, we investigated the potential mechanisms whereby adherent macrophages could mediate myocyte contractile dysfunction, including TNF-
, NO, and reactive oxygen intermediates.

This study was approved by the University of British Columbia Animal Care Committee and adheres to Canadian and National Institutes of Health guidelines for animal experimentation.
Isolation of Rat Ventricular Myocytes
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were anesthetized with 3% halothane by inhalation, and 1,000 units of heparin (Organon Teknika) were injected intraperitoneally. Fifteen minutes later, a midline thoracotomy was performed, and the heart was excised and placed in oxygenated (95% O2-5% CO2) HEPES-Joklik modified MEM buffer (GIBCO-BRL, Grand Island, NY) at 0°C. Within 2 min, the heart was mounted, via the aorta, on a modified Langendorff apparatus and was perfused with oxygenated MEM at 37°C for 2 min. After blood in the coronary circulation was cleared, the perfusate was changed to 30 ml of recirculating Ca2+-free MEM containing 236 U/ml collagenase (type 2; Worthington Biochemical, Freehold, NJ). At 15 and 20 min, the Ca2+ concentration was increased stepwise to 0.025 and 0.075 mmol/l by adding 75 and 150 µl of CaCl2 (10 mM), respectively, to the recirculating buffer. After a 30- to 40-min period of digestion, the ventricles were removed from the perfusion system and gently teased apart. The tissue, in oxygenated 0.075 mmol/l Ca2+ perfusion buffer, was then agitated for 2-3 min at 37°C in a water bath. The tissue and dispersed cells in solution were then filtered through a 200-µm nylon mesh. The filtrate was then centrifuged at 500 rpm for 2 min, and the supernatant was replaced with fresh perfusion buffer. The cells were then washed three times at 37°C in MEM containing increasing Ca2+ concentrations (200 µM, 500 µM, and 1 mM), with the cells allowed to settle by gravity for 10 min between each wash. Cells were resuspended in 37°C HEPES-modified medium 199 (M199) buffer (GIBCO-BRL) with 1% BSA (Sigma Chemicals, St. Louis, MO), and viable cell concentration was determined using a hemocytometer. The cells were diluted to a final concentration of 50,000 cells/ml. The cells were loaded into laminin-coated 96-well plates (VWR Canlab) at 100 µl/well (5,000 cells/well) and were incubated with 95% O2-5% CO2 at 37°C. At 90 min, the medium was changed to fresh M199 with BSA and was incubated for 24 h. Cells were considered viable if they demonstrated a characteristic rod shape without cytoplasmic blebbing. This morphometric assessment of viability was confirmed in a subset of experiments with trypan blue exclusion. We found that the fraction of viable myocytes was always >85%. Myocyte cultures were then assessed for endotoxin content using the Limulus amebocyte lysate assay (Associates of Cape Cod) and were found to contain no more than 0.03 endotoxin units/ml.Isolation of Peritoneal Macrophages
Ten milliliters of sodium caseinate were injected intraperitoneally in rats anesthetized using 3% halothane by inhalation. The rats were allowed to recover and 72 h later were again anesthetized using 3% halothane by inhalation. Peritoneal lavage was performed using three aliquots of 30 ml of normal saline containing 1 U/ml heparin at 37°C. Peritoneal lavage fluid was then filtered through sterile gauze in 50-ml tubes. Cells were then centrifuged at 1,700 rpm for 6 min. The pellet was resuspended in four volumes of NH4Cl solution to lyse the red blood cells, centrifuged again, and then resuspended in M199 buffer containing 1% BSA. After a final centrifugation, the pellet was resuspended in M199 buffer with BSA, and the concentration of macrophages was determined using a hemocytometer. The concentration of macrophages was then adjusted to 500,000 cells/ml. The percentage of macrophages was found to be 90-95%, and these cells were viable as indicated by trypan blue exclusion.Coculture of Macrophages and Cardiac Myocytes
After 24 h of cardiac myocyte incubation, 50,000 macrophages were added to each well of cardiac myocytes (ratio of 10 macrophages/cardiac myocyte) in the 96-well laminin-coated plates for coculture experiments. These cocultures were incubated at 37°C in 95% O2-5% CO2 for 4 h. After the 4-h incubation, fractional shortening of electrically stimulated myocytes and the number of adhering macrophages per myocyte were determined.Measurement of Cardiac Myocyte Fractional Shortening
Fifteen minutes before the 4-h time point, 2 µl of trypsin (0.5% wt/vol) were added to each well to cleave the myocytes off the laminin-coated bottom. Preliminary experiments demonstrated that this concentration of trypsin did not alter cell viability and cleaved >95% of the adherent myocytes from their attachments to the bottom of the well. Specially designed platinum electrodes were then lowered in each well in the 96-well plate, and the cardiac myocytes were electrically stimulated (Grass S48 stimulator, West Warwick, RI; 45 V, 2.2-ms duration, 25-
resistance) while being recorded by
videomicroscopy (Sony SLV-760HF; Fig. 1).
This electrical stimulus was chosen from preliminary threshold
experiments as two times the minimum electrical stimulus required to
maximally contract the cardiac myocytes. Still frames of systolic and
diastolic myocytes were captured for computer analysis from the video
recording, and myocyte fractional shortening was then measured using
Scion ImagePC (Scion, Frederick, MD).

Measurement of the Number of Macrophages Adherent to Cardiac Myocytes
In similar experiments, myocytes and macrophages were coincubated for 4 h, and the number of adherent macrophages was counted for all myocytes in 12 wells and in 5 random microscope fields from each well.ELISA for ICAM-1 Expression
The cardiac myocyte culture without added macrophages was challenged with human recombinant TNF-
(R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) in
concentrations of 0-50 ng/ml for 4 h. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression was then quantified by ELISA. Briefly, after the 4-h incubation, cells were fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde (100 µl/well) for 10 min at room temperature and then were washed two
times with 1× PBS and stored at 4°C until the ELISA. Plates were then washed two times with 1× PBS and blocked by adding 250 µl/well of 5% normal goat serum (Dako Diagnostics Canada,
Mississauga, ON) in PBS for 1 h at 37°C. Next, 100 µl/well of
diluted 1:5,000 rabbit anti-rat ICAM-1 (gift from Dr. P. Ward,
University of Michigan) in PBS was added, after the 1× PBS wash,
and was incubated for 1 h at 37°C. The wash was then repeated, and
100 µl/well of a biotinylated goat anti-rabbit antibody complex (Dako
Diagnostics Canada), diluted 1:5,000 in PBS, was added and incubated at
37°C for 30 min. A chromogen substrate (OPD; Dako) was then added, and the reaction was halted with 0.5 M
H2SO4.
Plates were then read at 490 nm using a microplate reader (Rainbow
Reader; SLT Lab Instruments, Salzburg, Austria), and baseline
background absorbance was subtracted.
Experimental Protocols
Fractional shortening of myocytes. We studied 1) cultures of cardiac myocytes alone, 2) cultures of cardiac myocytes with macrophages added in a culture well insert (0.45-µm pores so that myocytes and macrophages were cultured in the same well but the cells were kept separated), and 3) cocultures of cardiac myocytes and macrophages in which cell interaction was not prevented. TNF-
, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), interleukin (IL)-1
, or control saline was
added to each well at the start of the cardiac myocyte-macrophage coculture. The final concentration of TNF-
in the wells was 20 ng/ml, chosen to elicit maximum effect based on initial dose-response experiments. In these experiments, TNF-
added to myocyte-macrophage cocultures in concentrations of 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 ng/ml decreased fractional shortening from control by 3.2, 15.4, 16.1, 14.2, and 12.4%
and increased adherence from a control of 1.89 to 2.84, 3.13, 2.96, 3.71, and 3.70%, respectively. The final concentration of IL-1
was
20 ng/ml, and the final concentration of endotoxin was 10 µg/ml. At
the end of a 4-h incubation, one microscope field was randomly selected
in each well and was electrically stimulated one time. Generally, one
to four myocytes were present in each field. Diastolic length and
fractional shortening were determined for each myocyte.
Macrophage adherence to myocytes.
Cocultured myocytes and macrophages were challenged using TNF-
,
IL-1
, LPS, or vehicle. TNF-
and IL-1
were added at a
concentration of 20 ng/ml, whereas LPS was added at 10 µg/ml at the
start of the 4-h coculture. Next, the number of adherent macrophages to
myocytes was counted. In additional experiments to determine the role
of adhesion molecules expressed by cardiac myocytes, either antibodies
to ICAM-1 or an IgG control was added at 200 pg/ml each, immediately
before stimulation. The number of macrophages adherent to myocytes
after 4 h was counted.
Role of macrophage adhesion on myocyte
function. We repeated the coculture experiments using
pretreatment with either antibody to ICAM-1 or the IgG control. TNF-
(20 ng/ml), IL-1
(20 ng/ml), LPS (10 µg/ml), or control saline was
immediately added and incubated for the 4-h period. Fractional
shortening of cardiac myocytes and the number of adherent macrophages
were then measured.
Role of TNF-
, oxygen free radicals, NO, and
peroxynitrite. To assess the role of TNF-
, oxygen
free radicals, NO, and peroxynitrite, we used the same coculture as
previously described. Anti-TNF-
, desferoxamine [0.6568 mg/ml
(4)], superoxide dismutase (SOD), heat-inactivated SOD
[both at 23.3 µg/ml (4)], the NO synthase inhibitor
nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) and its
control, nitro-D-arginine methyl ester
[10
4 mol/l
(10)], and the peroxynitrite inhibitor urate [sodium urate;
100 µg/ml; Sigma (30)] were added to cocultures just before
challenge with TNF-
(20 ng/ml) or control saline. At 4 h of
coculture, fractional shortening was measured along with the number of
adherent macrophages per cardiac myocyte.
Data Analysis
We tested for differences in fractional shortening and number of adherent macrophages using an ANOVA, choosing P < 0.05 as significant. When a significant difference was found, we identified specific differences between groups using a sequentially rejective Bonferroni procedure. Data are expressed as means ± SE throughout.| |
RESULTS |

|
|
|---|
Fractional shortening of myocytes alone exposed to TNF-
, LPS, or
IL-1
was not different from that of unchallenged myocytes (Fig.
2). Similarly, when myocytes were cultured
with macrophages but physical contact was prevented by placing
macrophages in culture well inserts, no groups had a significant effect
on fractional shortening (Fig. 2). Fractional shortening of myocytes in
coculture with macrophages (no well inserts) without activation was not different from that in unchallenged myocytes alone (Fig. 2). However, TNF-
, LPS, and IL-1
added to macrophage-myocyte cocultures
decreased myocyte fractional shortening by 24 ± 8%
(P < 0.05), 20 ± 9%
(P < 0.05), and 22 ± 6%
(P < 0.05), respectively (Fig. 2).
The diastolic length of myocytes in cocultures (represented by 69.28 units of length) was not significantly altered by TNF-
(61.39 units
of length) or LPS (68.82 units of length) so that the decrease in fractional shortening was due to a change in systolic contractility. In
these experiments, the number of adherent macrophages was significantly greater in cocultures challenged with TNF-
, LPS, and IL-1 (2.8 ± 0.2, 3.0 ± 0.2, and 2.6 ± 0.2 macrophages per myocyte) than in
unchallenged cocultures (1.8 ± 0.1 macrophages per myocyte; P < 0.05). Thus macrophage adhesion is important in
decreasing myocyte function.
|
Anti-ICAM-1 prevented increased adherence of macrophages to cardiac
myocytes induced by TNF-
, IL-1
, and LPS in macrophage-myocyte coculture (Fig. 3). IgG control showed
similar results as with no antibody. ELISA for ICAM-1 showed that, when
myocytes were challenged with human recombinant TNF-
, the expression
of ICAM-1 on cardiac myocytes was dose dependent, reaching a plateau at a dose of 20 ng/ml of TNF-
(Fig. 4).
|
|
To determine if ICAM-1-mediated adhesion played a role in causing the
decrease in cardiac myocyte function induced by activated macrophages,
we added either anti-ICAM-1 or IgG control to cocultures. Anti-ICAM-1
prevented the decrease in myocyte fractional shortening induced by
TNF-
, LPS, or IL-1
challenge, whereas IgG controls were similar
to having no antibody (Fig. 5).
|
We then examined the role of oxygen free radicals, NO, and
peroxynitrite. As in previous experiments, TNF-
challenge of
macrophage-myocyte coculture significantly decreased cardiac myocyte
fractional shortening (Fig. 6). This
decrease was completely inhibited by desferoxamine, SOD, and
L-NAME. Urate did not prevent the decrease in fractional shortening to a statistically significant degree. Urate was sampled at
10 times the concentration and 10 times less than the concentration with or without TNF-
challenge. When unchallenged, concentrations of
urate had no significant effect on fractional shortening (19.77 ± 1.35% compared with 18.22 ± 1.51, 21.07 ± 0.97, and 20.22 ± 1.48%). However, when challenged, urate had an effect starting at the normal concentration (20.03 ± 0.90% compared with 17.45 ± 1.69%, P < 0.05). Beyond
that, the effect reached a plateau (19.81 ± 1.02%). The number of
adherent macrophages did not decrease to account for improved
fractional shortening with desferoxamine, SOD, or L-NAME.
|
The fractional shortening of unchallenged cocultures was also examined
to control for direct effects of the inhibitors. When fractional
shortening of the unchallenged rat cardiac myocyte coculture was
determined along with exposure to either SOD, L-NAME, urate, or desferoxamine, no decrease in shortening was observed compared with controls. Myocyte viability was not altered between groups. When challenged with LPS, anti-TNF-
prevented the decrease in fractional shortening (Fig. 7;
P < 0.05).

DISCUSSION |
|---|
|
|
|---|
Taken together, these observations demonstrate that activated
macrophages can contribute to cardiac myocyte contractile dysfunction. Adherence of activated macrophages to ICAM-1 expressed on activated cardiac myocytes appears to be an important step in mediating the
observed contractile dysfunction. TNF-
plays a role by contributing to macrophage activation and adhesion and, possibly, by mediating part
of the effect of adherent macrophages. Both NO and oxygen free radicals
contribute to the myocardial depressant effect of adherent macrophages.
Although neutrophils have been the focus of much attention in
ischemia-reperfusion and sepsis (7, 8, 12, 15, 31, 34),
macrophages may also play an important role. Macrophages and
macrophage-derived mediators have been implicated in myocardial dysfunction in a number of myocardial inflammatory states (1, 3, 5, 6,
10, 14, 20, 28). Macrophages and mononuclear leukocytes can dominate
the myocardial leukocytes infiltrating the myocardium in
cardiomyopathies and myocarditis (1, 6, 32) and during rejection of
orthotopic heart transplants (5, 10). In some animal models of septic
myocardial dysfunction (24), macrophages are the predominant leukocyte
subset in the heart (37). Recent results suggest that, after
ischemia-reperfusion, neutrophils may not be the only leukocyte
subset contributing to myocardial damage and dysfunction (21). In
patients who underwent orthotopic heart transplantation, a significant
increase in macrophage infiltration of the heart was observed along
with a corresponding increase in TNF-
production by the heart (10).
This observation points out that macrophages are particularly
interesting because they could contribute to both mediator and
leukocyte-induced myocardial depression.
Macrophage release of proinflammatory cytokines may be important in
mediating myocardial dysfunction (9, 24, 30, 33). However, it is
interesting to note that, over the short time course of our
observations, TNF-
alone did not decrease fractional shortening, consistent with previous observations (22). TNF-
administered alone
in whole animal models (24, 33) or as one of the mediators released
after endotoxin infusion (16) results in a decrease in ventricular
contractility within 4-6 h. TNF-
may act synergistically with
IL-1
(22) and appears to decrease myocardial contractility by
activation of leukocytes and other mediator pathways (9, 30). A number
of investigators have shown that part of the effect of proinflammatory
cytokines in vitro is due to stimulation of NO production in cardiac
myocytes (4, 9, 26). Similarly, in isolated working hearts, Schulz et
al. (30) demonstrated that TNF-
and IL-1
contribute to decreased
contractile function via NO and peroxynitrite (38). Antibody to TNF-
decreases the functional impairment induced in sepsis models and by
ischemia-reperfusion (13). Ischemia-reperfusion
upregulates expression of mRNA for the proinflammatory cytokines
TNF-
and IL-1
in the heart (17). In isolated rat hearts,
myocardium releases significant amounts of TNF-
after
ischemia-reperfusion (14), commonly associated with the
accumulation and activation of macrophages. TNF-
may contribute to
further leukocyte accumulation by stimulation of chemokine production
(23) and upregulation of leukocyte adhesion molecules on cardiac
myocytes (19). Thus cytokine mediators released from macrophages can
contribute to myocardial dysfunction in myocardial inflammatory states.
Other studies suggest a role for leukocytes in mediating myocardial depression during myocardial inflammatory states (8, 24), similar to the role of leukocytes in causing other organ system dysfunction. In animal models of sepsis, leukocytes are slowed and retained in myocardial capillaries (11). This is associated with capillary endothelial and cardiac myocyte damage, myocardial edema (33), and decreased contractility (12). Similarly, leukocytes decrease contractility in animal models of ischemia-reperfusion (15, 34). Activated neutrophils have been identified to be particularly important (34). However, the role of the monocyte-macrophage population of leukocytes has not been extensively investigated.
Our results extend previous findings by demonstrating that activated
macrophages can contribute to myocardial dysfunction when they adhere
to cardiac myocytes via ICAM-1. The importance of adherence of
macrophages to myocytes was demonstrated by prevention of myocyte
dysfunction as follows: 1) when
macrophages were separated from myocytes using porous culture well
inserts, 2) when increased macrophage adherence was blocked by anti-ICAM-1, and
3) by the observed relationships
between macrophage adherence and the decrease in myocyte fractional
shortening. ICAM-1 expression on cardiac myocytes is minimal under
normal conditions (31) but increases in inflammatory states. We found
that TNF-
increased cardiac myocyte ICAM-1 expression in a
dose-response manner. This action of TNF-
may be an important step
in mediating leukocyte-induced myocardial depression in inflammatory
states such as ischemia-reperfusion, cardiomyopathy,
posttransplant rejection, and sepsis. Macrophage binding to cardiac
myocytes involved ICAM-1. ICAM-1 expression on cardiac myocytes has
been observed after TNF-
, IL-1
, and monocyte chemotactic
protein-1 challenge (29). ICAM-1-mediated adherence of neutrophils to
cardiac myocytes has previously been observed (7, 31). Adherence of
neutrophils to myocytes is also blocked by anti-CD18 identifying the
ICAM-1 receptor ligand as a
2-integrin in this setting (7).
Cytokine induction of expression of cell adhesion molecules (2, 31) on
cardiac myocytes may be an important component in cardiac inflammation.
TNF-
, oxygen free radicals, and NO play a role in mediating the
contractile dysfunction induced by activated, adherent macrophages. Adherence could contribute to decreased contractility in at least two
ways. First, adherence may simply keep macrophages in very close
proximity to cardiac myocytes so that mediator concentrations (for
example, TNF-
and IL-1
, as well as oxygen free radicals and NO)
are high in the immediate vicinity of the cardiac myocyte. In other
tissues, leukocytes can adhere to cells, enveloping a pocket between
the two cells that may contain very high concentrations of mediators.
Thus, physical proximity may be an important issue. The second
possibility is that cardiac myocyte ICAM-1 may act as a receptor that,
by itself or in conjunction with costimuli, may result in intracellular
signaling leading to decreased contractile function. Oxygen free
radicals and NO could mediate part of their effect by direct tissue
damage (12), by formation of peroxynitrite (30), or as components of
intracellular signal transduction, for which there is growing evidence
(29, 36).
It is important to recognize that we used macrophages that had emigrated from the blood to the peritoneal cavity. Emigrated leukocytes express different cell adhesion molecules than the circulating blood population (27). Although peritoneal macrophages may differ from those recruited to the heart during an inflammatory response, we felt that emigrated peritoneal macrophages may better model emigrated intramyocardial macrophages than peripheral blood monocytes.
In summary, activated macrophages adhering to cardiac myocytes via ICAM-1 can contribute to myocardial contractile dysfunction. The effects of adherent macrophages are mediated in part by oxygen free radicals and NO.
