Data-Independent Acquisition Proteomics and N‑Terminomics Methods Reveal Alterations in Mitochondrial Function and Metabolism in Ischemic-Reperfused Hearts

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) (stunning) injury triggers changes in the proteome and degradome of the heart. Here, we utilize quantitative proteomics and comprehensive degradomics to investigate the molecular mechanisms of IR injury in isolated rat hearts. The control group underwent aerobic perfusion, while the IR injury group underwent 20 min of ischemia and 30 min of reperfusion to induce a stunning injury. As MMP-2 activation has been shown to contribute to myocardial injury, hearts also underwent IR injury with ARP-100, an MMP-2-preferring inhibitor, to dissect the contribution of MMP-2 to IR injury. Using data-independent acquisition (DIA) and mass spectroscopy, we quantified 4468 proteins in ventricular extracts, whereby 447 proteins showed significant alterations among the three groups. We then used subtiligase-mediated N-terminomic labeling to identify more than a hundred specific cleavage sites. Among these protease substrates, 15 were identified following IR injury. We identified alterations in numerous proteins involved in mitochondrial function and metabolism following IR injury. Our findings provide valuable insights into the biochemical mechanisms of myocardial IR injury, suggesting alterations in reactive oxygen/nitrogen species handling and generation, fatty acid metabolism, mitochondrial function and metabolism, and cardiomyocyte contraction
