Abstract

Our aim was to investigate the effect of nitric oxide (NO)-independent activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) on cardiomyocyte function in a hypertensive animal model with diastolic dysfunction and in biopsies from human heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Dahl salt-sensitive (DSS) rats and control rats were fed a high-salt diet for 10 weeks and then acutely treated in vivo with the sGC activator BAY 58-2667 (cinaciguat) for 30 min. Single skinned cardiomyocyte passive stiffness (Fpassive) was determined in rats and human myocardium biopsies before and after acute treatment. Titin phosphorylation, activation of the NO/sGC/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)/protein kinase G (PKG) cascade, as well as hypertrophic pathways including NO/sGC/cGMP/PKG, PKA, calcium-calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK2), and PKC were assessed. In addition, we explored the contribution of pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress levels to the modulation of cardiomyocyte function. Immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy were used to assess the translocation of sGC and connexin 43 proteins in the rat model before and after treatment. High cardiomyocyte Fpassive was found in ...Continue Reading

Advanced Imaging of Cellular Signaling

Cell signaling is a vital mechanism for communication within cells and outside with the environment. Several different signaling pathways have been found and advanced imaging techniques are being developed to visualize the molecules involved in these signaling pathways.
