Cardiac microvascular endothelial cell ischemia-reperfusion (CMEC I/R) injury occurs in approximately 50% of acute myocardial infarction patients subjected to successful revascularization therapy. This injury leads to cardiac microcirculatory system dysfunctions, which seriously affect cardiac functions and long-term prognostic outcomes. Previously, we elucidated the role of lysine-specific demethylase 3A (KDM3A) in protecting cardiomyocytes from I/R injury; however, its roles in CMEC I/R injuries have yet to be fully established. In this study, hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) treatment significantly impaired CMEC functions and induced their pyroptosis, accompanied by KDM3A downregulation. Then, gain- and loss-of-function assays were performed to investigate the roles of KDM3A in CMEC H/R injury in vitro. KDM3A knockout enhanced CMEC malfunctions and accelerated the expressions of pyroptosis-associated proteins, such as NLRP3, cleaved-caspase-1, ASC, IL-1β, GSDMD-N, and IL-18. Conversely, KDM3A overexpression developed ameliorated alternations in CMEC H/R injury. In vivo, KDM3A knockout resulted in the deterioration of cardiac functions and decreased the no-reflow area as well as capillary density. Mechanistically, KDM3A activated the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and ameliorated I/R-mediated CMEC pyroptosis. In conclusion, KDM3A is a promising treatment target for alleviating CMEC I/R injury.
