Abstract
Requirements for vesicle fusion within the heart remain poorly understood, despite the multitude of processes that necessitate proper intracellular trafficking within cardiomyocytes. Here, we show that Syntaxin 4 (STX4), a target-Soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment receptor (t-SNARE) protein, is required for normal vertebrate cardiac conduction and vesicular transport. Two patients were identified with damaging variants in STX4. A patient with a homozygous R240W missense variant displayed biventricular dilated cardiomyopathy, ectopy, and runs of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia, sensorineural hearing loss, global developmental delay, and hypotonia, while a second patient displayed severe pleiotropic abnormalities and perinatal lethality. CRISPR/Cas9-generated stx4 mutant zebrafish exhibited defects reminiscent of these patients' clinical presentations, including linearized hearts, bradycardia, otic vesicle dysgenesis, neuronal atrophy, and touch insensitivity by 3 days post fertilization. Imaging of Vamp2+ vesicles within stx4 mutant zebrafish hearts showed reduced docking to the cardiomyocyte sarcolemma. Optical mapping of the embryonic hearts coupled with pharmacological modulation of Ca2+ handling together support that zebrafish stx4 mutants have a reduction in L-type Ca2+ channel modulation. Transgenic overexpression of zebrafish Stx4R241W, analogous to the first patient's STX4R240W variant, indicated that the variant is hypomorphic. Thus, these data show an in vivo requirement for SNAREs in regulating normal embryonic cardiac function and that variants in STX4 are associated with pleiotropic human disease, including cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
In the heart, inhibition of the insulin cascade following lipid overload is strongly associated with contractile dysfunction. The translocation of fatty acid transporter CD36 (SR-B2) from intracellular stores to the cell surface is a hallmark event in the lipid-overloaded heart, feeding forward to intracellular lipid accumulation. Yet, the molecular mechanisms by which intracellularly arrived lipids induce insulin resistance is ill-understood. Bioactive lipid metabolites (diacyl-glycerols, ceramides) are contributing factors but fail to correlate with the degree of cardiac insulin resistance in diabetic humans. This leaves room for other lipid-induced mechanisms involved in lipid-induced insulin resistance, including protein palmitoylation. Protein palmitoylation encompasses the reversible covalent attachment of palmitate moieties to cysteine residues and is governed by protein acyl-transferases and thioesterases. The function of palmitoylation is to provide proteins with proper spatiotemporal localization, thereby securing the correct unwinding of signaling pathways. In this review, we provide examples of palmitoylations of individual signaling proteins to discuss the emerging role of protein palmitoylation as a modulator of the insulin signaling cascade. Second, we speculate how protein hyper-palmitoylations (including that of CD36), as they occur during lipid oversupply, may lead to insulin resistance. Finally, we conclude that the protein palmitoylation machinery may offer novel targets to fight lipid-induced cardiomyopathy.

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2020; 1866:165775. [PMID: 32209364 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2020.165775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2020] [Revised: 03/12/2020] [Accepted: 03/17/2020] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
CD36 and GLUT4 are the main cardiac trans-sarcolemmal transporters for long-chain fatty acids and glucose, respectively. Together they secure the majority of cardiac energy demands. Moreover, these transporters each represent key governing kinetic steps in cardiac fatty acid and glucose fluxes, thereby offering major sites of regulation. The underlying mechanism of this regulation involves a perpetual vesicle-mediated trafficking (recycling) of both transporters between intracellular stores (endosomes) and the cell surface. In the healthy heart, CD36 and GLUT4 translocation to the cell surface is under short-term control of the same physiological stimuli, most notably increased contraction and insulin secretion. However, under chronic lipid overload, a condition that accompanies a Western lifestyle, CD36 and GLUT4 recycling are affected distinctly, with CD36 being expelled to the sarcolemma while GLUT4 is imprisoned within the endosomes. Moreover, the increased CD36 translocation towards the cell surface is a key early step, setting the heart on a route towards insulin resistance and subsequent contractile dysfunction. Therefore, the proteins making up the trafficking machinery of CD36 need to be identified with special focus to the differences with the protein composition of the GLUT4 trafficking machinery. These proteins that are uniquely dedicated to either CD36 or GLUT4 traffic may offer targets to rectify aberrant substrate uptake seen in the lipid-overloaded heart. Specifically, CD36-dedicated trafficking regulators should be inhibited, whereas such GLUT4-dedicated proteins would need to be activated. Recent advances in the identification of CD36-dedicated trafficking proteins have disclosed the involvement of vacuolar-type H+-ATPase and of specific vesicle-associated membrane proteins (VAMPs). In this review, we summarize these recent findings and sketch a roadmap of CD36 and GLUT4 trafficking compatible with experimental findings.

Abstract
SNARE proteins are integral to intracellular vesicular trafficking, which in turn is the process underlying the regulated expression of substrate transporters such as the glucose transporter GLUT4 at the cell surface of insulin target tissues. Impaired insulin stimulated GLUT4 trafficking is associated with reduced cardiac function in many disease states, most notably diabetes. Despite this, our understanding of the expression and regulation of SNARE proteins in cardiac tissue and how these may change in diabetes is limited. Here we characterize the array of SNARE proteins expressed in cardiac tissue, and quantify the levels of expression of VAMP2, SNAP23, and Syntaxin4-key proteins involved in insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation. We examined SNARE protein levels in cardiac tissue from two rodent models of insulin resistance, db/db mice and high-fat fed mice, and show alterations in patterns of expression are evident. Such changes may have implications for cardiac function.

Abstract
Cardiac myocytes are characterized by distinct structural and functional entities involved in the generation and transmission of the action potential and the excitation-contraction coupling process. Key to their function is the specific organization of ion channels and transporters to and within distinct membrane domains, which supports the anisotropic propagation of the depolarization wave. This review addresses the current knowledge on the molecular actors regulating the distinct trafficking and targeting mechanisms of ion channels in the highly polarized cardiac myocyte. In addition to ubiquitous mechanisms shared by other excitable cells, cardiac myocytes show unique specialization, illustrated by the molecular organization of myocyte-myocyte contacts, e.g., the intercalated disc and the gap junction. Many factors contribute to the specialization of the cardiac sarcolemma and the functional expression of cardiac ion channels, including various anchoring proteins, motors, small GTPases, membrane lipids, and cholesterol. The discovery of genetic defects in some of these actors, leading to complex cardiac disorders, emphasizes the importance of trafficking and targeting of ion channels to cardiac function. A major challenge in the field is to understand how these and other actors work together in intact myocytes to fine-tune ion channel expression and control cardiac excitability.

Abstract
Recent work has provided compelling evidence that increased levels of acetylcholine (ACh) can be protective in heart failure, whereas reduced levels of ACh secretion can cause heart malfunction. Previous data show that cardiomyocytes themselves can actively secrete ACh, raising the question of whether this cardiomyocyte derived ACh may contribute to the protective effects of ACh in the heart. To address the functionality of this non-neuronal ACh machinery, we used cholinesterase inhibitors and a siRNA targeted to AChE (acetylcholinesterase) as a way to increase the availability of ACh secreted by cardiac cells. By using nitric oxide (NO) formation as a biological sensor for released ACh, we showed that cholinesterase inhibition increased NO levels in freshly isolated ventricular myocytes and that this effect was prevented by atropine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist, and by inhibition of ACh synthesis or vesicular storage. Functionally, cholinesterase inhibition prevented the hypertrophic effect as well as molecular changes and calcium transient alterations induced by adrenergic overstimulation in cardiomyocytes. Moreover, inhibition of ACh storage or atropine blunted the anti-hypertrophic action of cholinesterase inhibition. Altogether, our results show that cardiomyocytes possess functional cholinergic machinery that offsets deleterious effects of hyperadrenergic stimulation. In addition, we show that adrenergic stimulation upregulates expression levels of cholinergic components. We propose that this cardiomyocyte cholinergic signaling could amplify the protective effects of the parasympathetic nervous system in the heart and may counteract or partially neutralize hypertrophic adrenergic effects.

Abstract
AIMS Ouabain has been reported to increase the secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in vitro. However, the mechanism by which ouabain increases ANP secretion is not well known. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the underlying mechanism of ouabain-stimulated ANP secretion. MAIN METHODS A perfused beating rabbit atrial model was used. The ANP and ET-1 levels in the atrial perfusates were measured by radioimmunoassays. KEY FINDINGS Ouabain (1.0, 3.0 and 6.0 μmol/L) significantly increased atrial ANP secretion in a dose-dependent manner, while the endothelin (ET)-1 levels were increased by the higher doses (3.0 and 6.0 μmol/L) of ouabain. Ouabain-increased atrial ET-1 release was blocked by PD98059 (30.0 μmol/L), an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Nifedipine (1.0 μmol/L), an inhibitor of L-type Ca(2+) channels, completely abolished ouabain-increased ANP secretion without changing the ouabain-induced atrial dynamics. KB-R7943 (3.0 μmol/L), an inhibitor of Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchangers, completely blocked the effects of ouabain-increased atrial dynamics, but did not modulate ouabain-increased ANP secretion. ET-1 significantly stimulated atrial ANP release in a dose-dependent manner. The effects of ET-1 and ouabain on ANP secretion were completely blocked by BQ788 (0.3 μmol/L), an inhibitor of ET-1 type B (ET(B)) receptors, but not by BQ123 (0.3 μM), an inhibitor of ET-1 type A receptors. Ouabain-increased atrial ANP secretion was blocked by PD98059 and indomethacin (30.0 μmol/L), an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase. SIGNIFICANCE Ouabain significantly stimulated atrial ANP secretion via an ET-1-ET(B) receptor-mediated pathway involving MAPK signaling pathway activation and prostaglandin formation.

Abstract
Stimulus-induced exocytosis of large dense-core vesicles (LDCVs) leads to discharge of neuropeptides and fusion of LDCV membranes with the plasma membrane. However, the contribution of LDCVs to the properties of the neuronal membrane remains largely unclear. The present study found that LDCVs were associated with multiple receptors, channels and signaling molecules, suggesting that neuronal sensitivity is modulated by an LDCV-mediated mechanism. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry combined with immunoblotting of subcellular fractions identified 298 proteins in LDCV membranes purified from the dorsal spinal cord, including G-protein-coupled receptors, G-proteins and other signaling molecules, ion channels and trafficking-related proteins. Morphological assays showed that δ-opioid receptor 1 (DOR1), β2 adrenergic receptor (AR), G(αi2), voltage-gated calcium channel α2δ1 subunit and P2X purinoceptor 2 were localized in substance P (SP)-positive LDCVs in small-diameter dorsal root ganglion neurons, whereas β1 AR, Wnt receptor frizzled 8 and dishevelled 1 were present in SP-negative LDCVs. Furthermore, DOR1/G(αi2)/G(β1γ5)/phospholipase C β2 complexes were associated with LDCVs. Blockade of the DOR1/G(αi2) interaction largely abolished the LDCV localization of G(αi2) and impaired stimulation-induced surface expression of G(αi2). Thus, LDCVs serve as carriers of receptors, ion channels and preassembled receptor signaling complexes, enabling a rapid, activity-dependent modulation of neuronal sensitivity.

Abstract
ANP is a peptide released by cardiac myocytes that regulates blood pressure and natriuresis. However, the molecular mechanisms controlling ANP release from cardiac myocytes are not defined. We now identify three components of the exocytic machinery that regulate ANP release from atrial myocytes. We found that cardiac myocytes express N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor (NSF), soluble NSF attachment protein (α-SNAP), and SNAP receptors (SNAREs). Additionally we found that specific SNARE molecules, VAMP-1 and VAMP-2, both co-sediment and co-localize with ANP. Also, one SNARE molecule, syntaxin-4, partially co-sediments and partially co-localizes with ANP. Furthermore, these three SNAREs, syntaxin-4 and VAMP-1 and VAMP-2, form a SNARE complex inside cardiac myocytes. Finally, knockdown of VAMP-1, VAMP-2, or syntaxin-4 blocks regulated release of ANP. In contrast, silencing of VAMP-3 did not have an effect on ANP release. Our data suggest that three specific SNAREs regulate cardiac myocyte exocytosis of ANP. Pathways that modify the exocytic machinery may influence natriuresis and blood pressure.

Abstract
The role of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE)- and SNARE-associated proteins have not yet been assessed in regulation of cardiac glucose uptake, nor in the regulation of long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) uptake in any tissue. Munc18c is a SNARE-associated protein that regulates GLUT4 translocation in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Using cardiomyocytes from Munc18c(-/+) mice (with 56% reduction of Munc18c protein expression), we investigated whether this syntaxin4-associated protein is involved in regulation of cardiac substrate uptake. Basal, insulin- and oligomycin (a 5' AMP-activated protein kinase-activating agent)-stimulated glucose and LCFA uptake were not altered significantly in Munc18c(-/+) cardiomyocytes compared to wild-type cells. We conclude, therefore, that Munc18c is not rate-limiting for cardiac substrate uptake, neither under basal conditions nor when maximally stimulated metabolically.

Abstract
To characterize the effect of long-term exercise training at different intensities on endocrine structure and function of the heart, plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels, expression of ANP in cardiomyocytes, and ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes were examined by radioimmunoassay, immunohistochemistry and transmission electron microscopy in Sprague-Dawley rats trained on a treadmill at different intensities for 8 weeks. The plasma ANP increased gradually with increasing exercise intensity. The immunoreactivity of ANP in cardiomyocytes increased in the moderate- and high-intensity exercise group and decreased in the exhaustive exercise group. The ANP electron-dense granules and the quantity and volume of mitochondria increased in moderate and high-intensity exercise group. The ANP electron dense granules decreased and the mitochondria tumefied in the exhaustive exercise group. The changes of plasma ANP have a tendency of increasing gradually with increase in exercise intensity. Moderate and high-intensity exercise increases ANP synthesis and storage in cardiomyocytes and induces adaptive changes in the ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes. The decrease of ANP immunoreactivity in cardiomyocytes after exhaustive exercise is probably the result of massive depletion and induces damaging changes in the ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Disruptions in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression are proposed to contribute to the molecular pathogenesis of Rett syndrome (RTT), a severe neurological disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in methyl-CpG-binding protein-2 (MeCP2). Although MeCP2 is a transcriptional regulator of BDNF, it is unknown how MeCP2 mutations affect transsynaptic BDNF signaling. Our findings demonstrate an early, abnormal neurosecretory phenotype in MeCP2-deficient neurons characterized by significant increases in the percentage of cellular BDNF content available for release. However, loss of MeCP2 also results in deficits in total cell BDNF content that are developmentally regulated in a cell-type-specific manner. Thus, the net effect of MeCP2 loss on absolute BDNF secretion changes with age and is determined by both the amount of BDNF available for release and progressive declines in total cellular BDNF. We propose, therefore, that loss of MeCP2 function disrupts transsynaptic BDNF signaling by perturbing the normal balance between BDNF protein levels and secretion. However, mutant neurons are capable of secreting wild-type levels of BDNF in response to high-frequency electrical stimulation. In addition, we found elevated exocytic function in Mecp2(-/y) adrenal chromaffin cells, indicating that the Mecp2 null mutation is associated with alterations of neurosecretion that are not restricted to BDNF. These findings are the first examples of abnormal neuropeptide and catecholamine secretion in a mouse model of RTT.

Abstract
AIM: To study the morphological positive expression of antrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)-synthesizing cells and ultrastructural localization and the relationship between ANP-synthesizing cells and microvessel density in the stomach of rats and to analyze the distribution of the three histologically distinct regions of ANP-synthesizing cells.
METHODS: Using immunohistochemical techniques, we studied positive expression of ANP-synthesizing cells in rat stomach. A postembedding immunogold microscopy technique was used for ultrastructural localization of ANP-synthesizing cells. Microvessel density in the rat stomach was estimated using tannic acid-ferric chloride (TAFC) method staining. Distribution of ANP-synthesizing cells were studied in different regions of rat stomach histochemically.
RESULTS: Positive expression of ANP-synthesizing cells were localized in the gastric mucosa of rats. Localization of ANP-synthesizing cells identified them to be enterochrochromaffin cells (EC) by using a postembedding immunogold electron microscopy technique. EC cells were in the basal third of the cardiac mucosa region. ANP-synthesizing cells existed in different regions of rat stomach and its density was largest in the gastric cardiac region, and the distribution order of ANP-synthesizing cells in density was cardiac region, pyloric region and fundic region in mucosa layer. We have also found a close relationship between ANP-synthesizing cells and microvessel density in gastric mucosa of rats using TAFC staining.
CONCLUSION: ANP-synthesizing cells are expressed in the gastric mucosa. EC synthesize ANP. There is a close relationship between ANP-synthesizing cells and microvessel density in gastric mucosa of rats.The distribution density of ANP-synthesizing cells is largest in the gastric cardiac region.
