Here, we show that the expression of Capn4 was significantly increased in Angiotensin II (Ang II)-treated cardiomyocytes and Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophic mouse hearts. Importantly, in agreement with the Capn4 expression patterns, the maximal calpain activity measured in heart homogenates was elevated in Ang II-treated mice and oral coadministration of SNJ-1945 (calpain inhibitor) attenuated the total calpain activity measured in vitro. Functional assays indicated that overexpression of Capn4 obviously aggravated Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy, whereas Capn4 knockdown resulted in the opposite phenotypes. Further investigation demonstrated that Capn4 maintained the activation of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-AKT signalling pathway in cardiomyocytes by increasing c-Jun expression. Mechanistic investigations revealed that Capn4 directly bound and stabilized c-Jun and knockdown of Capn4 increased the ubiquitination level of c-Jun in cardiomyocytes. Additionally, our results demonstrated that the antihypertrophic effect of Capn4 silencing was partially dependent on the inhibition of c-Jun. Overall, these data suggested that Capn4 contributes to cardiac hypertrophy by enhancing the c-Jun-mediated IGF-AKT signalling pathway and could be a potential therapeutic target for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jb\/mvab100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,28]],"date-time":"2021-09-28T06:21:59Z","timestamp":1632810119000},"page":"53-61","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Capn4 aggravates angiotensin II-induced cardiac hypertrophy by activating the IGF-AKT signalling pathway"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"171","author":[{"given":"Yuanping","family":"Cao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University Department of Cardiac Surgery, , Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University Department of Cardiac Surgery, , Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caiyun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University Operating Room, , Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenjun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University Department of Cardiac Surgery, , Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Songqing","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University Department of Cardiac Surgery, , Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huaxi","family":"Zou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University Department of Cardiac Surgery, , Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ende","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University Department of Cardiac Surgery, , Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fudong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University Department of Cardiac Surgery, , Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Wan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University Department of Cardiac Surgery, , Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022062712184036900_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"387","DOI":"10.1038\/s41569-018-0007-y","article-title":"Mechanisms of physiological and pathological cardiac hypertrophy","volume":"15","author":"Nakamura","year":"2018","journal-title":"Nat.
