Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is an independent risk factor for
cardiovascular disease. This risk is magnified by certain antiretrovirals,
particularly the protease inhibitor ritonavir, but the pathophysiology of this
connection is unknown. We postulated that a major mechanism for
antiretroviral-associated cardiac disease is pathologic fibrosis linked to
platelet activation with release and activation of transforming growth factor
(TGF)-?1, and that these changes could be modeled in a murine system. We also
sought to intervene utilizing inhaled carbon monoxide (CO) as proof-of-concept
for therapeutics capable of regulating TGF-?1 signaling and collagen autophagy.
We demonstrate decreased cardiac function indices, including cardiac output,
ejection fraction and stroke volume, and prominent cardiac fibrosis, in mice
exposed to pharmacological doses of ritonavir. Cardiac output and fibrosis
correlated with plasma TGF-?1 levels. Mice with targeted deletion of TGF-?1 in
megakaryocytes/platelets (PF4CreTgfb1flox/flox) were partially protected from
ritonavir-induced cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis. Inhalation of low dose CO
(250ppm), used as a surrogate for upregulation of inducible heme
oxygenase/endogenous CO pathways, suppressed ritonavir-induced cardiac fibrosis.
This occurred in association with modulation of canonical (Smad2) and
non-canonical (p38) TGF-?1 signaling pathways. In addition, CO treatment
suppressed the M1 pro-inflammatory subset of macrophages and increased M2c
regulatory cells in the hearts of RTV-exposed animals. The effects of CO were
dependent upon autophagy as CO did not mitigate ritonavir-induced fibrosis in
autophagy-deficient LC3-/- mice. These results suggest that platelet-derived
TGF-?1 contributes to ritonavir-associated cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis,
extending the relevance of our findings to other antiretrovirals that also
activate platelets. The anti-fibrotic effects of CO are linked to alterations in
TGF-?1 signaling and autophagy, suggesting a proof-of-concept for novel
interventions in HIV/antiretroviral therapy-mediated cardiovascular disease.
