We previously identified the activation of proinflammatory gene networks as a key early driver of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in transgenic mice expressing a mutant form of phospholamban (PLN\n                    <jats:sup>R9C<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) \u2014 a genetic cause of DCM in humans. We hypothesized that BETs coactivate this inflammatory process, representing a critical node in the progression of DCM. To test this hypothesis, we treated PLN\n                    <jats:sup>R9C<\/jats:sup>\n                    or age-matched WT mice longitudinally with the small molecule BET bromodomain inhibitor JQ1 or vehicle. BET inhibition abrogated adverse cardiac remodeling, reduced cardiac fibrosis, and prolonged survival in PLN\n                    <jats:sup>R9C<\/jats:sup>\n                    mice by inhibiting expression of proinflammatory gene networks at all stages of disease. Specifically, JQ1 had profound effects on proinflammatory gene network expression in cardiac fibroblasts, while having little effect on gene expression in cardiomyocytes. Cardiac fibroblast proliferation was also substantially reduced by JQ1. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that BRD4 serves as a direct and essential regulator of NF-\u03baB\u2013mediated proinflammatory gene expression in cardiac fibroblasts. Suppressing proinflammatory gene expression via BET bromodomain inhibition could be a novel therapeutic strategy for chronic DCM in humans.\n
