Abstract
The neuropeptide secretoneurin (SN) plays protective roles in myocardial ischemia. In the present study, the effect of SN in cardiac hypertrophy was investigated. We observed that, in isoproterenol (ISO) treatment induced cardiac or cardiomyocytes hypertrophy, a marked increase in the expression of endogenous SN in mouse plasma, myocardium and primary-cultured cardiomyocytes occurs. In hypertrophic mice, the heart size, heart weight/body weight (HW/BW) ratio, cardiomyocyte size, and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) expression were significantly higher than those in controls but were effectively suppressed by SN gene therapy. Similarly, the protective effects of SN were also observed in cultured cardiomyocytes following ISO treatment. SN significantly increased the activity of catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in parallel with the decrease in reactive oxygen species levels in cardiomyocytes. We observed that SN evoked the activation of all of the AMPK, P38/MAPK and ERK/MAPK pathways in cardiomyocytes, but pretreatment with only AMPK inhibitor (compound C) and ERK1/2/MAPK inhibitor (PD98059) counteracted the protective effects of SN against cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and the suppressive effects of SN on oxidant stress in cardiomyocytes. These results indicated that endogenous SN is induced in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes, and may play a protective role in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy. These results suggest that exogenous SN supplementation protects the cardiac hypertrophy induced by ISO treatment through the activation of AMPK and ERK/MAPK pathways, thus upregulating antioxidants and suppressing oxidative stress.

Abstract
Focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) is a primary kidney disease that is commonly associated with proteinuria and progressive loss of glomerular function, leading to development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). FSGS is characterized by podocyte injury and depletion and collapse of glomerular capillary segments. Progression of FSGS is associated with TGF-β activation in podocytes; however, it is not clear how TGF-β signaling promotes disease. Here, we determined that podocyte-specific activation of TGF-β signaling in transgenic mice and BALB/c mice with Adriamycin-induced glomerulosclerosis is associated with endothelin-1 (EDN1) release by podocytes, which mediates mitochondrial oxidative stress and dysfunction in adjacent endothelial cells via paracrine EDN1 receptor type A (EDNRA) activation. Endothelial dysfunction promoted podocyte apoptosis, and inhibition of EDNRA or scavenging of mitochondrial-targeted ROS prevented podocyte loss, albuminuria, glomerulosclerosis, and renal failure. We confirmed reciprocal crosstalk between podocytes and endothelial cells in a coculture system. Biopsies from patients with FSGS exhibited increased mitochondrial DNA damage, consistent with EDNRA-mediated glomerular endothelial mitochondrial oxidative stress. Our studies indicate that segmental glomerulosclerosis develops as a result of podocyte-endothelial crosstalk mediated by EDN1/EDNRA-dependent mitochondrial dysfunction and suggest that targeting the reciprocal interaction between podocytes and endothelia may provide opportunities for therapeutic intervention in FSGS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND BMS-747158-02 is a novel fluorine 18-labeled pyridazinone derivative designed for cardiac imaging. The uptake and retention mechanisms of F-18 BMS-747158-02 in cardiac myocytes were studied in vitro, and the biodistribution of F-18 BMS-747158-02 was studied in vivo in mice. METHODS AND RESULTS Fluorine 19 BMS-747158-01 inhibited mitochondrial complex I (MC-I) in bovine heart submitochondrial particles with an IC(50) of 16.6 +/- 3 nmol/L that was comparable to the reference inhibitors of MC-1, rotenone, pyridaben, and deguelin (IC(50) of 18.2 +/- 6.7 nmol/L, 19.8 +/- 2.6 nmol/L, and 23.1 +/- 1.5 nmol/L, respectively). F-18 BMS-747158-02 had high uptake in monolayers of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (10.3% +/- 0.7% of incubated drug at 60 minutes) that was inhibited by 200 nmol/L of rotenone (91% +/- 2%) and deguelin (89% +/- 3%). In contrast, an inactive pyridaben analog, P-070 (IC(50) value >4 micromol/L in MC-1 assay), did not inhibit the binding of F-18 BMS-747158-02 in cardiomyocytes. Uptake and washout kinetics for F-18 BMS-747158-02 in rat cardiomyocytes indicated that the time to half-maximal (t((1/2))) uptake was very rapid (approximately 35 seconds), and washout t((1/2)) for efflux of F-18 BMS-747158-02 was greater than 120 minutes. In vivo biodistribution studies in mice showed that F-18 BMS-747158-02 had substantial myocardial uptake (9.5% +/- 0.5% of injected dose per gram) at 60 minutes and heart-to-lung and heart-to-liver ratios of 14.1 +/- 2.5 and 8.3 +/- 0.5, respectively. Positron emission tomography imaging in the mouse allowed clear cardiac visualization and demonstrated sustained myocardial uptake through 55 minutes. CONCLUSIONS F-18 BMS-747158-02 is a novel positron emission tomography cardiac tracer targeting MC-I in cardiomyocytes with rapid uptake and slow washout. These characteristics allow fast and sustained accumulation in the heart.

Abstract
The endothelin-1 (ET-1) is known to cause myocardial ischemia; however, whether this effect is entirely dependent on vasoconstriction is uncertain. The aim of this study was to characterize the myocardial ischemia after the intracoronary administration of endothelin-1, and compare it with that induced by coronary stenosis. In the left anterior descending coronary artery of 15 dogs, a mild inflow reduction (30%) was produced for 10 minutes using intracoronary endothelin-1 (46 +/- 33 pmol/min) or coronary stenosis. The hearts were rapidly cross-sectioned at short axial plane and freeze-clamped within 120 milliseconds using a specially developed device to visualize and quantify the area of ischemia (%IA) with NADH fluorescence photography. The %IA was larger in the endothelin-1 group than in the stenosis group (66 +/- 23 versus 18 +/- 18, P = 0.0005); furthermore, the ischemia was transmural in the ET-1 group, but limited to subendocardium in the stenosis group. ET-1 increased the coronary arterial resistance especially in subepicardial region and produced smaller ischemic foci in microcirculation. The mechanism of larger ischemia produced by ET-1 might depend on pro-ischemic effects on myocytes and vasoconstriction of the coronary microcirculation, predominantly in the subepicardium in vivo.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) has been known to play various functional and pathological roles as an intracellular or intercellular messenger in the heart. In this study, we investigated whether NO produced during ischemia was involved in the coordination of ATP supply and demand, and also in protection from cell death using cultured cardiac myocytes. Unexpectedly, the survival rate of myocytes for 3 h simulated ischemia (SI) was increased as compared with that for 2 h SI at 24 h after reperfusion. The cellular ATP level at 3 h after the start of SI was increased compared with that at 2 h, and was almost the same as that before the start of SI. The cellular ATP level at 3 h SI was significantly reduced by either the inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) or scavenging of NO. Either the inhibition of NOS or the scavenging of NO during SI for 3 h also resulted in a significant decrease in the survival rate of myocytes. Immunocytochemical and Western blot analyses revealed that the expression of nNOS was most evident in cardiac myocytes, but no significant change was observed in the expression of all three NOS isoforms at 2 h SI and at 3 h SI. The fluorescent intensity of DAF-FM was significantly increased at 3 h SI as compared with that at 2 h SI, and the increase in DAF fluorescence during SI was almost completely suppressed by treatment with vinyl-L-NIO (L-VNIO), a potent specific inhibitor of nNOS. In addition, treatment with L-VNIO decreased the cellular ATP level and survival rate. This study suggested that the enhanced production of NO was critical in balancing ATP supply and demand during ischemia, and also in protecting cells from ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Background—
Diacylglycerol (DAG) is a lipid second messenger that transiently accumulates in cells stimulated by endothelin-1 (ET-1) and other Gαq protein-coupled receptor agonists. Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) is thought to be an enzyme that controls the cellular levels of DAG by converting it to phosphatidic acid; however, the functional role of DGK has not been examined in cardiomyocytes. Because DGK inactivates DAG, a strong activator of protein kinase C (PKC), we hypothesized that DGK inhibited ET-1–induced activation of a DAG-PKC signaling cascade and subsequent cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.
Methods and Results—
Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction demonstrated a significant increase of DGK-ζ mRNA by ET-1 in cardiomyocytes. To determine the functional role of DGK-ζ, we overexpressed DGK-ζ in cardiomyocytes using a recombinant adenovirus encoding rat DGK-ζ (Ad-DGKζ). ET-1–induced translocation of PKC-ε was blocked by Ad-DGKζ (
P
<0.01). Ad-DGKζ also inhibited ET-1–induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (
P
<0.01). Luciferase reporter assay revealed that ET-1–mediated increase of activator protein-1 (AP1) DNA-binding activity was significantly inhibited by DGK-ζ (
P
<0.01). In cardiomyocytes transfected with DGK-ζ, ET-1 failed to cause gene induction of atrial natriuretic factor, increases in [
3
H]-leucine uptake, and increases in cardiomyocyte surface area.
Conclusions—
We demonstrated for the first time that DGK-ζ blocked ET-1–induced activation of the PKC-ε–ERK-AP1 signaling pathway, atrial natriuretic factor gene induction, and resultant cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. DGK-ζ might act as a negative regulator of hypertrophic program in response to ET-1, possibly by controlling cellular DAG levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling by angiotensin (Ang) II and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) was investigated. DESIGN VSMCs were derived from resistance arteries from healthy subjects. MAPK activity was assessed using phospho-specific antibodies. ROS generation was measured by CMH2DCFDA fluorescence and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activity by lucigenin chemiluminescence. RESULTS Ang II and ET-1 increased MAPK phosphorylation (P < 0.01). Pre-treatment with Tiron and Tempol, *O2 scavengers, attenuated agonist-stimulated phosphorylation of p38MAPK, c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) and ERK5, but not of ERK1/2 (extracellular signal-regulated kinases). Apocynin and diphenylene iodinium (DPI), NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitors, decreased Ang II-induced responses 60-70%. ET-1-mediated MAPK phosphorylation was unaffected by apocynin but was reduced (> 50%) by thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TIFT) and carboxyl cyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), mitochondrial inhibitors. Allopurinol and N-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME), xanthine oxidase and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors, respectively, did not influence MAPK activation. Intracellular ROS generation, was increased by Ang II and ET-1 (P < 0.01). DPI inhibited Ang II- but not ET-1-mediated ROS production. Expression of p22phox and p47phox and activation of NAD(P)H oxidase were increased by Ang II but not by ET-1. CCCP and TIFT significantly attenuated ET-1-mediated ROS formation (P < 0.05), without influencing Ang II effects. CONCLUSIONS Ang II activates p38MAPK, JNK and ERK5 primarily through NAD(P)H oxidase-generated ROS. ET-1 stimulates these kinases via redox-sensitive processes that involve mitochondrial-derived ROS. These data suggest that redox-dependent activation of MAPKs by Ang II and ET-1 occur through distinct ROS-generating systems that could contribute to differential signaling by these agonists in VSMCs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mitochondrial enzymatic activity reductions in both myocardial and skeletal muscle tissues have been reported in a canine model of pacing-induced congestive heart failure (CHF). Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a vasoconstrictor peptide with diverse biological properties, has been implicated in CHF pathogenesis, and ET-1 receptor blockade has been shown to attenuate CHF progression. We hypothesized that the beneficial effect of ET-1 receptor blockade may be mediated in part by improved mitochondrial function. METHODS Myocardium and skeletal muscle tissues were evaluated for respiratory complex I-V and citrate synthase activity levels in paced animals treated with and without LU 135252, a specific type A ET-1 receptor (ET(A)) antagonist. RESULTS Specific activity levels of complex V and III, which were 65% to 85% lower in both cardiac and skeletal muscle in paced compared to unpaced animals, were significantly increased in ET(A) antagonist-treated animals (50%-300% compared to untreated paced animals). Levels of other mitochondrial respiratory complex activities including complex I, II, and IV as well as citrate synthase were not significantly changed. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that endothelin activation may be involved in the myocardial dysfunction and mitochondrial enzyme deficiencies observed in pacing-induced CHF. Improvement of mitochondrial function may be a novel mechanism mediating the beneficial effect of ET(A) receptor blockade in CHF.
