SHARPIN, a protein implicated in fibrosis, has emerged as a potential therapeutic target. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of SHARPIN in MF and to investigate the influence of its single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs117299156, on myocardial infarction (MI) patients. A mouse model of Angiotensin II (AngII)-induced MF was established in SHARPIN heterozygous (SHARPIN+/−) and wild-type mice. Adult mouse cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) were isolated and subjected to adenovirus-encapsulated SHARPIN short hairpin RNA (shRNA) infection. Transcriptomic analysis was performed on CFs from SHARPIN+/− and wild-type (WT) mice, complemented by single-cell sequencing data from human cardiac tissues. Additionally, the association between the rs117299156 mutation and cardiovascular events in MI patients was assessed. Our findings indicate that SHARPIN is predominantly expressed in CFs and is upregulated in fibrotic myocardium. Partial knockdown of SHARPIN in murine hearts mitigated AngII-induced cardiac dysfunction and MF. Furthermore, reduced SHARPIN expression in CFs attenuated TGF-β1-induced collagen synthesis, cell proliferation, and myofibroblast transformation.
