Some oral anti-hyperglycemic drugs, including gliptins that inhibit dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4), have been linked to the increased risk of heart failure (HF) in type-2 diabetic patients. While the cardiovascular safety trial, TECOS, revealed no link between sitagliptin and the risk of HF, a substantial 27% increase in the hospitalization for HF was observed in type-2 diabetic patients treated with saxagliptin within the SAVOR-TIMI 53 trial. A previous
in vitro
study revealed that saxagliptin impairs the Ca

/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII)-
phospholamban
(
PLB
)-sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca
2+
-ATPase 2a axis and
protein kinase C
(
PKC
) activity in cardiomyocytes leading to impaired cardiac contractility and electrophysiological function. However, the link between saxagliptin and its target proteins (CaMKII and
PKC
) remains to be explored. Since DPP8 and DPP9 (but not DPP4) are expressed by cardiomyocytes and saxagliptin is internalized by cardiomyocytes, we investigated whether DPP8/9 contribute to saxagliptin-mediated inhibition of CaMKII and
PKC
activity. Structural analysis revealed that the DPP4-saxagliptin interaction motif (S630, Y547) for the cyanopyrrolidine group is conserved in DPP8 (S755, Y669) and DPP9 (S730, Y644). Conversely, F357 that facilitates binding of the anchor lock domain of sitagliptin in the S2 extensive subsite of DPP4 is not conserved in DPP8/9. In parallel, unlike saxagliptin, sitagliptin did not affect phosphorylation of CaMKII/
PLB
or activity of
PKC
in HL-1 cardiomyocytes. These findings were recapitulated by pharmacological inhibition (TC-E-5007, a DPP8/9 antagonist) and knock-down of DPP9 (but not DPP8). In primary mouse ventricular cardiomyocytes, saxagliptin (but not sitagliptin) impaired Ca
2+
transient relaxation and prolonged action potential duration (APD). These results suggest that saxagliptin-DPP9 interaction impairs the CaMKII-
PLB
and
PKC
signaling in cardiomyocytes. We reveal a novel and potential role of DPP9 in cardiac signaling. The interaction of saxagliptin with DPP9 may represent an underlying mechanism for the link between saxagliptin and HF. Elucidation of saxagliptin-DPP9 interaction and downstream events may foster a better understanding of the role of gliptins as modulators of cardiac signaling.

Despite decades of research on the pathophysiology of myocardial stunning, protein changes and/or phosphorylation status underlying alterations in cardiac function/structure remain inadequately understood. Here, we utilized comprehensive and quantitative proteomic and phosphoproteomic approaches to explore molecular mechanisms of myocardial stunning in swine. The closed-chest swine (
n
= 5 pigs) were subjected to a 10-min left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) occlusion producing regional myocardial stunning. Tissues from the ischemic LAD region and a remote nonischemic area of the left ventricle were collected 1 h after reperfusion. Ion current-based proteomics (IonStar) and quantitative phosphoproteomics were employed in parallel to identify alterations in protein level and site-specific phosphorylation changes. A novel swine heart protein database exhibiting high accuracy and low redundancy was developed here to facilitate comprehensive study. Further informatic investigations identified potential protein-protein interactions in stunned myocardium. In total, we quantified 2,099 protein groups and 4,699 phosphorylation sites with only 0.4% missing values. Proteomic analyses revealed downregulation of contractile function and extracellular matrix remodeling. Meanwhile, alterations in phosphorylation linked with contractile dysfunction and apoptotic cell death were uncovered. NetworKIN/STRING analysis predicted regulatory kinases responsible for altered phosphosites, such as
protein kinase C
-mediated phosphorylation of cardiac troponin I-S199 and CaMKII-mediated phosphorylation of
phospholamban
-T17. In summary, the ion current-based proteomics and phosphoproteomics reliably identified novel alterations in protein content and phosphorylation contributing to contractile dysfunction, extracellular matrix (ECM) damage, and programmed cell death in stunned myocardium, which corroborate well with our physiological observations. Moreover, this work developed a comprehensive database of the swine heart proteome, a highly valuable resource for future translational research in porcine models with cardiovascular diseases.
