Claudin-5 is transcriptionally downregulated resulting in dramatically reduced
protein levels in human heart failure. Studies in mice have demonstrated that
reduced claudin-5 levels occur prior to cardiac damage and far before reduced
whole heart function. Therefore, claudin-5 may be a useful early therapeutic
target for human heart failure. However, the cell types in which claudin-5 is
localized in human heart and from which claudin-5 is reduced in heart failure is
not known. The recent identification of claudin-5's interaction with ephrin-B1 in
mouse hearts has also not been investigated in non-failing or failing human
hearts. In this study we collected human left ventricular mid-myocardium
histological samples from 7 non-failing hearts and 16 end-stage failing hearts.
Immunoblots demonstrate severe reductions of claudin-5 protein in 14 of 16
failing hearts compared to non-failing controls. Claudin-5 was observed to
localize to cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, and a subset of fibroblasts in
non-failing human heart sections. In isolated cardiomyocytes, the transmembrane
claudin-5 protein localized in longitudinal striations in lateral membranes. In
failing heart, both cardiomyocyte and endothelial claudin-5 localization was
severely reduced, but claudin-5 remained in fibroblasts. Absence of claudin-5
staining also correlated with the reduction of the endothelial cell marker CD31.
Ephrin-B1 localization, but not protein levels, was altered in failing hearts
supporting that claudin-5 is required for ephrin-B1 localization. These data
support that loss of claudin-5 in cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells is
prevalent in human heart failure. Investigating claudin-5/ephrin-B1 protein
complexes and gene regulation may lead to novel therapies.
