Abstract

A special in vitro model maintained with ultrathin cardiac slices with a preserved architecture, multi-cellularity, and physiology of the heart tissue was used. In our experiments, we performed label-free quantitative SWATH-MS proteomic analysis of the adult myocardial slices in vitro after biomimetic electromechanical stimulation. Rat myocardial slices were stretched to sarcomere lengths (SL) within the physiological range of 1.8–2.2 μm. Electromechanically stimulated slices were compared with slices cultured without electromechanical stimulation (unloaded and nonstimulated-TW) on a liquid–air interface and with fresh myocardial slices (0 h-C). Quantitative (relative) proteomic analyses were performed using a label-free SWATH-MS technique on a high-resolution microLC-MS/MS TripleTOF 5600+ system (SCIEX). The acquired MS/MS spectra from the DDA LC–MS/MS analyses of the rat heart samples were searched against the UniProt Rattus norvegicus database (version of 15.05.2018) using the Paragon algorithm incorporated into ProteinPilot 4.5 (SCIEX) software. The highest number of differential proteins was observed in the TW group—121 when compared to the C group. In the 1.8 and 2.2 groups, 79 and 52 proteins present at a significantly different concentration from the control samples were found, respectively. A substantial fraction of these proteins were common for two or more comparisons, resulting in a list of 169 significant proteins for at least one of the comparisons. This study found the most prominent changes in the proteomic pattern related to mitochondrial respiration, energy metabolism, and muscle contraction in the slices that were stretched and fresh myocardial slices cultured without electromechanical stimulation.
