説明

<jats:p> There is substantial evidence that chronic heart failure in humans and in animal models is associated with inflammation. Ischemic interventions such as myocardial infarction lead to necrotic cell death and release of damage associated molecular patterns, factors that signal cell damage and induce expression of proinflammatory chemokines and cytokines. It has recently become evident that nonischemic interventions are also associated with increases in inflammatory genes and immune cell accumulation in the heart and that these contribute to fibrosis and ventricular dysfunction. How proinflammatory responses are elicited in nonischemic heart disease which is not, at least initially, associated with cell death is a critical unanswered question. In this review we provide evidence supporting the hypothesis that cardiomyocytes are an initiating site of inflammatory gene expression in response to nonischemic stress. Furthermore we discuss the role of the multifunctional Ca<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>/calmodulin-regulated kinase, CaMKIIδ, as a transducer of stress signals to nuclear factor-κB activation, expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and priming and activation of the NOD-like pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in cardiomyocytes. We summarize recent evidence that subsequent macrophage recruitment, fibrosis and contractile dysfunction induced by angiotensin II infusion or transverse aortic constriction are ameliorated by blockade of CaMKII, of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1/C-C chemokine receptor type 2 signaling, or of NLRP3 inflammasome activation. </jats:p>
