Through these functions, Txnip has emerged as a key contributor to the pathogenesis of heart diseases. Txnip contains C-terminal PPXY motifs that are conserved among α-arrestins across diverse species. Nevertheless, the physiological significance of these motifs remains unknown. We demonstrate that mutation of Txnip PPXY motifs to AAXA uncouples Txnip's canonical functions from its cytotoxic effects. Although the mutant reduced glutathione levels and glucose uptake to the same extent as wild-type Txnip, it attenuated cell death. To assess translational relevance, we engineered inducible, cardiomyocyte-restricted Txnip PPXY-to-AAXA knock-in mice. These mice displayed normal cardiac structure and function at baseline but were strongly protected after myocardial infarction, exhibiting improved left ventricular performance and overall survival. Mechanistically, structural modeling identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase ITCH as the principal PPXY-binding partner. The PPXY mutation abolished Txnip ubiquitination and stabilized Txnip protein, revealing a paradoxical dissociation between Txnip levels and cardiotoxicity. Transcriptomic profiling uncovered enrichment of PPAR-α/PGC-1α-associated pathways, although metabolic assays and untargeted lipidomics did not support these findings. Instead, immediate early genes of the Fos/Jun AP-1 network were consistently downregulated after ischemic injury, and AP-1 DNA-binding activity was diminished in PPXY mutant hearts. These results identify the Txnip PPXY motifs as key regulators of Txnip protein turnover and injury-responsive transcriptional programs. Disruption of these motifs stabilizes Txnip yet confers cardioprotection, providing evidence that elevated Txnip levels do not invariably drive cardiotoxicity.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> This study reveals that Txnip's conserved PPXY motifs regulate its cytotoxicity independently of its canonical redox and metabolic functions. Mutating motifs (PPXY-to-AAXA) uncouples Txnip function from cell death, stabilizes the protein by preventing Itch-mediated ubiquitination, and confers striking cardioprotection in knock-in mice after myocardial infarction. Despite elevated Txnip levels, mutant hearts show reduced AP-1 signaling and improved survival, demonstrating that PPXY-dependent pathways, not Txnip abundance, drive cardiotoxicity.</p>","PeriodicalId":7692,"journal":{"name":"American journal of physiology.

Intracardiac blood flow patterns can be visualised with high frame rate echocardiography with blood speckle tracking (BST) and analysed for measures of cardiac efficiency such as kinetic energy (KE), energy loss (EL), vorticity (VO) and vortex complexity (VC). Preterm infants are at high risk of cardiac compromise, but mechanistic pathways are unclear. The aim of this study is to gather BST reference values in stable preterm infants. Methods Stable low risk preterm infants < 30 weeks gestation underwent echocardiography with BST early and late in the neonatal admission period. PyUSview software was used for intracardiac flow analysis. Results 55 stable preterm infants we included. KE, EL, VO and VC were significantly higher in diastole when compared to systole and most BST parameters increased during the admission period. EL/KE as measure of cardiac efficiency remained stable around 3% during systole, but EL/KE during diastole increased from 4.9 to 9.2% along with increasing E and A velocities, which is higher than reported in healthy term infants. Conclusion Reference ranges of BST intracardiac flow parameters in stable low risk preterm infants suggest relatively poor cardiac inflow efficiency due to high EL.
