Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B Regulates MicroRNA-208b-Argonaute 2 Association and Thyroid Hormone Responsiveness in Cardiac Hypertrophy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production plays an important role in the pathogenesis of several diseases, including cardiac hypertrophy. While the regulation of diverse sources of ROS is well characterized in the heart, the redox-sensitive targets that contribute to redox signaling remain largely undefined. We now report that protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is reversibly oxidized and inactivated in hearts undergoing hypertrophy and that gene deletion of PTP1B in mouse hearts cause an hypertrophic phenotype that is critically exacerbated in mice subjected to pressure overload. Furthermore, we show that PTP1B dephosphorylates Tyr 393 on argonaute 2, a key component of the RNA-induced silencing complex, and sustains gene silencing in the heart. Our results indicate that PTP1B inactivation and argonaute 2 Tyr 393 phosphorylation specifically prevents argonaute 2 from interacting with miR-208b. Phosphorylation and inactivation of argonaute 2 in PTP1B cKO mice revealed a mechanism by which defective miR-208b-mediated repression of thyroid hormone receptor-associated protein 1 (THRAP1/MED13) contributes to thyroid hormone-mediated cardiac hypertrophy. In support of this conclusion, inhibiting the synthesis of triiodothyronine (T3), using propylthiouracil, rescued TAC-induced hypertrophy and improved myocardial contractility and systolic function in PTP1B cKO mice. Together, our data illustrate that PTP1B activity exerts a cardioprotective effect in the heart and that redox signaling is tightly linked to thyroid hormone responsiveness and to microRNA-mediated gene silencing in pathological hypertrophy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
