概要 Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent risk factor for congestive heart failure. Diabetic cardiomyopathy patients present with left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction at an early stage, then systolic dysfunction as the disease progresses. The mechanism underlying the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy has not yet been fully understood. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by which diastolic dysfunction precedes systolic dysfunction at the early stage of diabetic cardiomyopathy. We hypothesized that the downregulation of cardioprotective factors is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy. LV diastolic dysfunction, but not systolic dysfunction, was observed in type-1 diabetes mellitus model mice 4 weeks after STZ administration (STZ-4W), mimicking the early stage of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Counter to expectations, neuregulin-1 (NRG1) was markedly upregulated in the vascular endothelial cell in the ventricles of STZ-4W mice. To clarify the functional significance of the upregulated NRG1, we blocked its receptor ErbB2 with trastuzumab (TRZ). In STZ-4W mice, TRZ significantly reduced the systolic function without affecting diastolic function and caused a more prominent reduction in Akt phosphorylation levels. These results indicate that the compensatory upregulated NRG1 contributes to maintaining the LV systolic function, which explains why diastolic dysfunction precedes systolic dysfunction at the early stage of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
