1 Supplement Material Materials and Methods Generation of MKK Mutant Mice The mkk-flox mice (referred to as ) were previously generated and characterised. mice were mated with mice expressing Cre under a myosin light chain (MLCv) promoter to generate cardiac-specific MKK knockout mice (referred to as MKK cko ). The MLCv-Cre line (kindly provided by Dr. KR Chien, Massachusetts General Hospital, USA) is a well established model that provides ventricular specific and efficient Cre recombinase activity and is known not to cause any abnormality in cardiac morphology and function following cardiac stress. All mice used in this study were maintained in a pathogen-free facility at the University of Manchester. The animal studies were performed in accordance with the Home Office and institutional guidelines. Osmotic Minipump Infusion of Isoproterenol To generate β-adrenergic-induced cardiac hypertrophy, isoproterenol (Iso, Sigma- Aldrich) (mg/kg/day) or vehicle (ddh O) was administrated to week old male and MKK cko mice via osmotic mini-pumps (Alzet) implanted subcutaneously. Hearts were isolated and analysed for cardiac hypertrophy following 7 days of Iso infusion. In vivo Physiology Analysis In vivo hemodynamic analysis was performed using a pressure volume system (Millar Instruments). We used a.f pressure-volume catheter (SPR-9) following a protocol described previously. Maximal derived pressures were obtained during systole (dp/dt max )
2 and diastole (dp/dt min ) as indices representing cardiac contractile functions. For cardiac morphological analysis, transthoracic two dimensional and M-mode echocardiography were performed using an Acuson Sequoia C5 system (Siemens) following a protocol described previously. Parameters of intraventricular septal thickness (IVS), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPW), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD) and fractional shortening (FS) were obtained. Immunostaining of Single Cardiomyocytes Hearts from -week old mice were perfused via the aorta using a modified collagenase and protease digestion method. Dissociated cardiomyocytes were plated and fixed in % paraformaldehyde prior to being incubated with antibodies specific to MKK (:, BD Pharmingen) or to α-actinin (:5, Sigma). The secondary anti-mouse antibody conjugated to Alexa Fluoro 5 (:5, Invitrogen), or conjugated to Alexa Fluoro (:5, Invitrogen) was applied respectively to detect the immune signals, respectively. Fluorescence images were viewed with a Nikon upright confocal microscope. Histology and TUNEL Assay Freshly dissected heart tissue was fixed in % paraformaldehyde, dehydrated and embedded in paraffin. 5-7µm thick sections were cut and stained with hematoxylin & eosin or Masson s trichrome method as described 5. To calculate the mean cross-sectional area approximately 5 randomly selected cardiomyocytes were measured. 5 randomly chosen frames from Masson s trichrome stained sections were quantified to assess the degree of myocardial fibrosis using Image J software. TUNEL assay to detect apoptosis was performed on paraffin-embedded heart sections using the in situ Cell Death
3 Detection kit (Roche). Triple staining with DAPI, anti-α-actinin antibody (Sigma), and TUNEL was performed to confirm apoptotic morphology in cardiac nuclei. Preparation of Lysates and Immunoblot Analysis Proteins were homogenised and extracted from tissues in Triton lysis buffer ( mm Tris- HCl, ph 7., 7 mm NaCl, mm EDTA, % Triton X-, 5 mm ß- glycerophosphate, % glycerol, mm orthovanadate, mm phenylsulphfonyl fluoride, µg/ml leupeptin, µg/ml aprotinin). Protein extracts ( µg) were subjected to Western blot analysis with antibodies against MKK, MKK7 (BD Pharmingen); JNK, p MAPK, JunD, Bax (Santa Cruz); PKB, active caspase-, Bcl-, phospho-pkb (Ser 7), phospho-mkk, phospho-mkk7, phospho-jnk, phospho-p MAPK, GSKβ, phospho-gskβ, phosphor-cjun/jund (Ser 7) (Cell Signalling); ERK5 (Upstate); phospho-erk5 (Invitrogen); and tubulin (Sigma). Immunecomplexes were detected by enhanced chemiluminescence with anti-mouse, anti-rabbit, or anti-goat immunoglobulin G coupled to horseradish peroxidise as the secondary antibody (Amersham-Pharmacia). Protein Kinase Assay JNK and p MAPK activities were measured in ventricular tissue lysates following precipitation with glutathione S-transferase (GST)-c-Jun (the substrate for JNK) and glutathione-sepharose beads (Amersham), or with a polyclonal antibody to p MAPK (Santa Cruz) and protein A agarose beads (Sigma), respectively, for hours at C. The kinase reactions were performed at C for minutes in kinase buffer (5 mm HEPES, ph 7., 5 mm ß-glycerophosphate, 5 mm MgCl, mm dithiothreitol,.% orthovanadate) containing 5 µm [γ-p] ATP ( Ci/mmol) and µg of GSTtranscription factor (ATF) for p MAPK assays. The reactions were terminated by
4 the addition of Laemmli sample buffer. Phosphorylated substrates were examined and quantified after SDS-PAGE by phosphorimager analysis (Fuji FLA ). Quantitative Real-time PCR Total RNA was prepared from ventricular tissue using Trizol reagent, followed by the synthesis of cdna. Real-time quantitative PCRs were performed using the SYBR-green I Core Kit (Eurogentec). The primers used for ANP, BNP, Myh7, Colα and Colα were obtained from Qiagen. The primers used for RCAN. were as follows: forward primer, 5'-AGCTCCCTGATTGCCTGTGT-', reverse primer, 5'- TTTGGCCCTGGTCTCACTTT-'. PCR products were detected in the ABI-PRISM 77 sequence detection system (Applied Biosystems), and the results were analyzed using the - CT method. The level of expression of mrna was normalized to glyceraldehyde--phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) mrna. sirna Transfection Primary cultures of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) were prepared as previously described 7. NRCMs were transfected with sirna (nm) using Lipofectamine Plus reagent according to the manufacturer s instructions (Invitrogen). Rat MKK sirna (gene ID # 79; si genome SMART pool) was purchased from Dharmacon, sirna negative control (Si Neg) was obtained from Eurogenetec. To assess the specific effect of MKK sirna on silencing MKK expression, the protein levels of MKK and MKK7 were detected by immunoblot analysis 7h post-transfection. In addition, JNK activation upon isoproterenol stimulation (µm) was determined in sirna-treated NRCMs by immunoblot analysis.
5 Luciferase Reporter Assay h post-transfection of sirna, NRCMs were infected with recombinant adenovirus encoding NFAT-luciferase reporter gene (AdNFAT-luc) at 5 MOI in serum-free medium. At h after infection, the virus was removed. Following isoproterenol treatment (µm), aliquots of NRCM lysates were assayed for the NFAT luciferase activity using a luciferase assay kit (Promega). NFAT-Luc reporter cdna was obtained from Clontech, AdNFAT-luc was generated using the AdEasy TM adenoviral vector system (Stratagene). Figure legends Online Table I.
