BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)-associated cardiac fibrosis contributes to heart failure. We previously showed that diabetic mice with cardiomyopathy, including cardiac fibrosis, exhibit low levels of the neuropeptide substance P; exogenous replacement of substance P reversed cardiac fibrosis, independent of body weight, blood glucose and blood pressure. We sought to elucidate the effectiveness and safety of replacement substance P to ameliorate or reverse cardiac fibrosis in type 2 diabetic monkeys.
METHODS: Four female T2DM African Green monkeys receive substance P (0.5 mg/Kg/day S.Q. injection) for 8 weeks. We obtained cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and blood samples to assess left ventricular function and fibrosis by T1 map-derived extracellular volume as well as circulating procollagen type I C-terminal propeptide. Hematological parameters for toxicities were also assessed in these monkeys and compared with three female T2DM monkeys receiving saline S.Q. as a safety comparison group.
RESULTS: Diabetic monkeys receiving replacement substance P exhibited a ∼20% decrease in extracellular volume (p = 0.01), concomitant with ∼25% decrease procollagen type I C-terminal propeptide levels (p = 0.008). Left ventricular ejection fraction was unchanged with substance P (p = 0.42); however, circumferential strain was improved (p < 0.01). Complete blood counts, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c, lipids, liver and pancreatic enzymes, and inflammation markers were unchanged (p > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Replacement substance P reversed cardiac fibrosis in a large preclinical model of type 2 diabetes, independent of glycemic control. No hematological or organ-related toxicity was associated with replacement substance P. These results strongly support a potential application for replacement substance P as safe therapy for diabetic cardiac fibrosis.
