Increased PPARGC1 and ESRRA alleviate mitochondrial and cardiac dysfunction due to Hey2 overexpression.a MitoTracker Red CMXRos staining measuring the mitochondrial mass of control AC16 or HEY2-OE AC16 cells transfected with control vectors, PPARGC1A or ESRRA vectors, as well as PPARGC1A and ESRRA plasmids together. Scale bar: 50?µm. b Quantification of MitoTracker Red fluorescent intensity of transfected HEY2-OE AC16 cells and control AC16 cells. Data were relative to fluorescent intensity in control group. n?=?38 (ctrl+vector, OE?+?PPARGC1A?+?ESRRA), n?=?41 (ctrl+PPARGC1A), n?=?39 (ctrl+ESRRA), n?=?43 (the rest groups). Box plots displayed median ± interquartile range (IQR), with whiskers extending to the minimum and maximum values. *P?0.05, **P?0.01, ****P?0.0001, Student?s t-test (unpaired, two-tailed). c ATP levels of control AC16 and HEY2-OE AC16 cells transfected with control vectors, PPARGC1A or ESRRA vectors, and PPARGC1A and ESRRA plasmids together. Data were relative to ATP level in control group. 3 biological replicates. d RT-qPCR analysis showing ETC complex genes that expressed in control AC16 and HEY2-OE AC16 cells transfected with control vectors, PPARGC1A or ESRRA vectors, and PPARGC1A and ESRRA plasmids together. 3 biological replicates. e Measurement of mitochondrial ETC complex I activity in control AC16 and HEY2-OE AC16 cells transfected with control vectors, and PPARGC1A and ESRRA plasmids together. 3 biological replicates. f Schematic synthesis diagram of Flag-ppargc1a and HA-esrra mRNA with N1m? and Cap analogs modifications. g Experimental diagram for 4-HT treatment, modRNAs injection and cardiac analysis. h Echocardiography analyses depicting EF and FS in hey2-mOE and control hearts injected with vehicle, ppargc1a modRNA, esrra modRNA, or ppargc1a and esrra modRNAs together. n?=?10 (hey2-mOE+ppargc1a+esrra), n?=?11 (the rest groups). i RT-qPCR analysis showing ETC complex genes that differentially expressed in hey2-mOE and control hearts injected with vehicle, ppargc1a modRNA, esrra modRNA, or ppargc1a and esrra modRNAs together. 3 biological replicates. Data presents as mean?±?SEM, *P?0.05, **P?0.01, ***P?0.001, ****P?0.0001, Student?s t-test (unpaired, two-tailed) (c, e, h) or Multiple t tests (two-tailed) (d, i).
