The poor prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction is partially attributed to a large number of cardiomyocyte apoptosis, necrosis, limited cardiac healing and angiogenesis, and cardiac dysfunction. Immune cells dysfunction leads to nonhealing or poor healing of wounds after acute myocardial infarction. Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) as an essential part of the innate immune system plays a vital role in regulating cardiomyocyte survival and wound healing. During hypoxia, High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1), as the typical damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) or alarmin, is rapidly released extracellularly and translocates from the nucleus to bind with cytoplasmic TLR9. However, the mechanism by which TLR9 interacts with HMGB1 and regulates myocardial damage remains unclear. Our current study found that the survival rate of TLR9KO mice with a higher rate of cardiac rupture was significantly lower than that in WT mice after 28 days post-operation. The effect of TLR9 knockout on insufficient wound healing in experimental MI was caused by a diminished number of myofibroblast and defective matrix synthetic capability. Moreover, the increased myocardial apoptotic cells and decreased angiogenic capacity were found in TLR9 knockout mice after MI. The results showed contrary in Recombinant Human High Mobility Group Box 1 (rhHMGB1) treated WT mice and similarity after applying rhHMGB1 in TLR9KO mice. This study demonstrates that TLR9 is essential for the repair of infarcted myocardium and interaction of HMGB1 and TLR9 is involved in the survival of myocardial cells, wound healing, and angiogenesis after myocardial infarction.
