Altered Mitochondrial Metabolism and Mechanosensation in the Failing Heart: Focus on Intracellular Calcium Signaling. Int J Mol Sci 2017; 18:ijms18071487.

Abstract
The heart consists of millions of cells, namely cardiomyocytes, which are highly organized in terms of structure and function, at both macroscale and microscale levels. Such meticulous organization is imperative for assuring the physiological pump-function of the heart. One of the key players for the electrical and mechanical synchronization and contraction is the calcium ion via the well-known calcium-induced calcium release process. In cardiovascular diseases, the structural organization is lost, resulting in morphological, electrical, and metabolic remodeling owing the imbalance of the calcium handling and promoting heart failure and arrhythmias. Recently, attention has been focused on the role of mitochondria, which seem to jeopardize these events by misbalancing the calcium processes. In this review, we highlight our recent findings, especially the role of mitochondria (dys)function in failing cardiomyocytes with respect to the calcium machinery.

A Phase 2a dose-escalation study of the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and haemodynamic effects of BMS-986231 in hospitalized patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Eur J Heart Fail 2017; 19:1321-1332. [PMID: 28677877 PMCID: PMC6607490 DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2016] [Revised: 04/25/2017] [Accepted: 04/26/2017] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims This study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and haemodynamic effects of BMS‐986231, a novel second‐generation nitroxyl donor with potential inotropic, lusitropic and vasodilatory effects in patients hospitalized with decompensated heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods and results Forty‐six patients hospitalized with decompensated HFrEF were enrolled into four sequential dose‐escalation cohorts in this double‐blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled Phase 2a study. Patients with baseline pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) of ≥20 mmHg and a cardiac index of ≤2.5 L/min/m2 received one 6‐h i.v. infusion of BMS‐986231 (at 3, 5, 7 or 12 µg/kg/min) or placebo. BMS‐986231 produced rapid and sustained reductions in PCWP, as well as consistent reductions in time‐averaged pulmonary arterial systolic pressure, pulmonary arterial diastolic pressure and right atrial pressure. BMS‐986231 increased non‐invasively measured time‐averaged stroke volume index, cardiac index and cardiac power index values, and decreased total peripheral vascular resistance. There was no evidence of increased heart rate, drug‐related arrhythmia or symptomatic hypotension with BMS‐986231. Analyses of adverse events throughout the 30‐day follow‐up did not identify any toxicities specific to BMS‐986231, with the potential exception of infrequent mild‐to‐moderate headaches during infusion. There were no treatment‐related serious adverse events. Conclusions BMS‐986231 demonstrated a favourable safety and haemodynamic profile in patients hospitalized with advanced heart failure. Based on preclinical data and these study's findings, it is possible that the haemodynamic benefits may be mediated by inotropic and/or lusitropic as well as vasodilatory effects. The therapeutic potential of BMS‐986231 should be further assessed in patients with heart failure.

Biomed Pharmacother 2017; 90:194-202. [PMID: 28364596 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2017.03.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2017] [Revised: 03/10/2017] [Accepted: 03/14/2017] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The calcitonin-gene-related-peptide (CGRP) release is coupled to the signaling of Angeli's salt in determining vasodilator effects. However, it is unknown whether CGRP is involved in Angeli's salt cardioprotective effects and which are the mechanisms of protection. We aimed to determine whether CGRP is involved in myocardial protection induced by Angeli's salt. We also analyzed the intracellular signaling pathway activated by CGRP. Isolated rat hearts were pre-treated with Angeli's salt or Angeli's salt plus CGRP8-37, a specific CGRP-receptor antagonist, and subjected to ischemia (30-min) and reperfusion (120-min). Moreover, we studied CGRP-induced protection during oxidative stress (H2O2) and hypoxia/reoxygenation protocols in H9c2 cardiomyocytes. Cell vitality and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔYm, MMP) were measured using MTT and JC-1 dyes. Angeli's salt reduced infarct size and ameliorated post-ischemic cardiac function via a CGRP-receptor-dependent mechanism. Pre-treatment with CGRP increased H9c2 survival upon challenging with either H2O2 (redox stress) or hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R stress). Under these stress conditions, reduction in MMP and cell death were partly prevented by CGRP. These CGRP beneficial effects were blocked by CGRP8-37. During H/R stress, pre-treatment with either CGRP-receptor, protein kinase C (PKC) or mitochondrial KATP channel antagonists, and pre-treatment with an antioxidant (2-mercaptopropionylglycine) blocked the protection mediated by CGRP. In conclusion, CGRP is involved in the cardioprotective effects of Angeli's salt. In H9c2 cardiomyocytes, CGRP elicits PKC-dependent and mitochondrial-KATP-redox-dependent mechanisms. Hence, CGRP is an important factor in the redox-sensible cardioprotective effects of Angeli's salt.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas that plays various roles in physiological signal transduction, for example, in vasodilation, neural transmission, and biodefence. Recently, other gaseous signal mediators such as carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have also been found to have important biological activities. Since experimental studies with gaseous mediators are difficult, chemicals that enable controlled release of these gases are indispensable. We have developed a range of photocontrollable releasers that generate NO, H2S, and related species with fine spatiotemporal control, and we have also employed these caged compounds in various applications. This paper briefly reviews our work on photocontrollable NO, H2S, and HNO releasers, and presents some typical applications illustrating the suitability of our compounds for controlled release of these biologically active species in cellular and tissue systems. These compounds also appear to have potential for future therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The cardiomyocytes populating the 'working myocardium' are highly organized and such organization ranges from macroscale (e.g. the geometrical rod shape) to microscale (dyad/t-tubules) domains. This meticulous level of organization is imperative for assuring the normal and physiological pump-function of the heart. In the pathological cardiac tissue, the domains-related architecture is partially lost, resulting in morphological, electrical and metabolic remodeling and promoting cardiovascular diseases including heart failure and arrhythmias. Indeed, arrhythmogenesis during heart failure is a major clinical problem. Arrhythmias have been extensively studied from an electrical etiology, but only recently, physiologists and scientists have focused their attention on cellular and subcellular mechanosensors. We and others have investigated whether the nanoscale mechanosensitive properties of cardiomyocytes from failing hearts have a bearing upon the initiation of abnormal electrical activity. This chapter highlights the recent findings in the field, especially the role of mitochondria function and alignment in failing cardiomyocytes interrogated via nanomechanical stimuli.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. A reduction in the bioavailability of endogenous NO, manifest as a decrease in the production and/or impaired signaling, is associated with many cardiovascular diseases including hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke and heart failure. There is substantial evidence that reactive oxygen species (ROS), generated predominantly from NADPH oxidases (Nox), are responsible for the reduced NO bioavailability in vascular and cardiac pathologies. ROS can compromise NO function via a direct inactivation of NO, together with a reduction in NO synthesis and oxidation of its receptor, soluble guanylyl cyclase. Whilst nitrovasodilators are administered to compensate for the ROS-mediated loss in NO bioactivity, their clinical utility is limited due to the development of tolerance and resistance and systemic hypotension. Moreover, efforts to directly scavenge ROS with antioxidants has had limited clinical efficacy. This review outlines the therapeutic utility of NO-based therapeutics in cardiovascular diseases and describes the source and impact of ROS in these pathologies, with particular focus on the interaction with NO. Future therapeutic approaches in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases are highlighted with a focus on nitroxyl (HNO) donors as an alternative to traditional NO donors and the development of novel Nox inhibitors.

Abstract
A novel class of nitrosocarbonyl precursors, N-substituted hydroxamic acids with pyrazolone leaving groups (NHPY), has been synthesized. Under physiological conditions, these compounds generate nitrosocarbonyl intermediates, which upon hydrolysis release nitroxyl (azanone, HNO) in excellent yields. The amount and rate of nitrosocarbonyl generation are dependent on the nature of the pyrazolone leaving groups and significantly on the structural properties of the NHPY donors. Pyrazolones have been found to be efficient nitrosocarbonyl traps, undergoing an N-selective nitrosocarbonyl aldol reaction. This trapping reaction has been used to confirm the involvement of nitrosocarbonyl intermediates in NHPY aqueous decomposition. In addition, NHPY compounds are shown to generate nitrosocarbonyls efficiently under mild basic conditions in organic solvent and may therefore also enjoy synthetic utility.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) is a simple molecule with significant potential as a pharmacological agent. For example, its use in the possible treatment of heart failure has received recent attention due to its unique therapeutic properties. Recent progress has been made on the elucidation of the mechanisms associated with its biological signaling. Importantly, the biochemical mechanisms described for HNO bioactivity are consistent with its unique and novel chemical properties/reactivity. To date, much of the biology of HNO can be associated with interactions and modification of important regulatory thiol proteins. Herein will be provided a description of HNO chemistry and how this chemistry translates to some of its reported biological effects.

Abstract
Both hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO) are important gaseous mediators. We and others previously reported that these two gases react with each other to generate a new mediator, nitroxyl (HNO), and regulate cardiovascular functions. In this study, we demonstrated for the first time that the interaction between the two gases also existed in microglia. The biological functions of HNO in microglial cells were further studied with Angeli's salt (AS), an HNO donor. We found that AS attenuated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-evoked production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-1β and TNFα) through downregulating the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). HNO significantly reduced the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) through suppression of phosphorylation p65 and IκBα. The above effects were abolished by l-cysteine, an HNO scavenger, but were not mimicked by nitrite, another product of AS during generating HNO. A Cys-179-to-Ala mutation in inhibitory κB kinase β (IKKβ) mimicked the effect of HNO on LPS-induced NF-κB activation. Interestingly, AS abolished the inflammation in cells overexpressing WT-IKKβ, but had no significant effect in cells overexpressing C179A-IKKβ. These data suggest that HNO may act on C179 to prevent IKKβ-dependent inflammation. Taken together, our data demonstrated for the first time that H2S interacts with NO to generate HNO in microglial cells. HNO produces anti-inflammatory effects through suppressing the IKKβ dependent NF-κB activation and p38 MAPK pathways.

Abstract
To-this-date, the exact molecular, cellular, and integrative physiological mechanisms of anesthesia remain largely unknown. Published evidence indicates that anesthetic effects are multifocal and occur in a time-dependent and coordinated manner, mediated via central, local, and peripheral pathways. Their effects can be modulated by a range of variables, and their elicited end-effect on the integrative physiological response is highly variable. This review summarizes the major cellular and molecular sites of anesthetic action with a focus on the paradigm of isoflurane (ISO) - the most commonly used anesthetic nowadays - and its use in prolonged in vivo rodent studies using imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It also presents established evidence for normal ranges of global and regional physiological cardiac function under ISO, proposes optimal, practical methodologies relevant to the use of anesthetic protocols for MRI and outlines the beneficial effects of nitrous oxide supplementation.

Abstract
The prevalence of heart failure (HF) is still increasing worldwide, with enormous human, social, and economic costs, in spite of huge efforts in understanding pathogenetic mechanisms and in developing effective therapies that have transformed this syndrome into a chronic disease. Myocardial redox imbalance is a hallmark of this syndrome, since excessive reactive oxygen and nitrogen species can behave as signaling molecules in the pathogenesis of hypertrophy and heart failure, leading to dysregulation of cellular calcium handling, of the contractile machinery, of myocardial energetics and metabolism, and of extracellular matrix deposition. Recently, following new interesting advances in understanding myocardial ROS and RNS signaling pathways, new promising therapeutical approaches with antioxidant properties are being developed, keeping in mind that scavenging ROS and RNS tout court is detrimental as well, since these molecules also play a role in physiological myocardial homeostasis.

Since isoproterenol up-regulates ErbB2 in kidney and salivary glands and β2AR and ErbB2 complex in brain and heart, we hypothesized that β-adrenergic receptors (AR) modulate ErbB2 signalling status. METHODS AND RESULTS ErbB2 transfection of HEK293 cells up-regulates β2AR, and β2AR transfection of HEK293 up-regulates ErbB2. Interestingly, cardiomyocytes isolated from myocyte-specific ErbB2-overexpressing (ErbB2(tg)) mice have amplified response to selective β2-agonist zinterol, and right ventricular trabeculae baseline force generation is markedly reduced with β2-antagonist ICI-118 551. Consistently, receptor binding assays and western blotting demonstrate that β2ARs levels are markedly increased in ErbB2(tg) myocardium and reduced by EGFR/ErbB2 inhibitor, lapatinib. Intriguingly, acute treatment of mice with β1- and β2-AR agonist isoproterenol resulted in myocardial ErbB2 increase, while inhibition with either β1- or β2-AR antagonist did not completely prevent isoproterenol-induced ErbB2 expression. Furthermore, inhibition of ErbB2 kinase predisposed mice hearts to injury from chronic isoproterenol treatment while significantly reducing isoproterenol-induced pAKT and pERK levels, suggesting ErbB2's role in transactivation in the heart. CONCLUSION Our studies show that myocardial ErbB2 and βAR signalling are linked in a feedback loop with βAR activation leading to increased ErbB2 expression and activity, and increased ErbB2 activity regulating β2AR expression. Most importantly, ErbB2 kinase activity is crucial for cardioprotection in the setting of β-adrenergic stress, suggesting that this mechanism is important in the pathophysiology and treatment of cardiomyopathy induced by ErbB2-targeting antineoplastic drugs.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO), the one-electron reduced form of nitric oxide (NO), shows a distinct chemical and biological profile from that of NO. HNO is currently being viewed as a vasodilator and positive inotropic agent that can be used as a potential treatment for heart failure. The ability of HNO to react with thiols and thiol containing proteins is largely used to explain the possible biological actions of HNO. Herein, we summarize different aspects related to HNO including HNO donors, chemistry, biology, and methods used for its detection.

Abstract
Historically acknowledged as toxic gases, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO) are now recognized as the predominant members of a new family of signaling molecules, “gasotransmitters” in mammals. While H2S is biosynthesized by three constitutively expressed enzymes (CBS, CSE, and 3-MST) from L-cysteine and homocysteine, NO is generated endogenously from L-arginine by the action of various isoforms of NOS. Both gases have been transpired as the key and independent regulators of many physiological functions in mammalian cardiovascular, nervous, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and immune systems. The analogy between these two gasotransmitters is evident not only from their paracrine mode of signaling, but also from the identical and/or shared signaling transduction pathways. With the plethora of research in the pathophysiological role of gasotransmitters in various systems, the existence of interplay between these gases is being widely accepted. Chemical interaction between NO and H2S may generate nitroxyl (HNO), which plays a specific effective role within the cardiovascular system. In this review article, we have attempted to provide current understanding of the individual and interactive roles of H2S and NO signaling in mammalian cardiovascular system, focusing particularly on heart contractility, cardioprotection, vascular tone, angiogenesis, and oxidative stress.

Abstract
The coronary artery disease is a leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide. This disease has a complex pathophysiology that includes multiple mechanisms. Among these is the oxidative/nitrosative stress. Paradoxically, oxidative/nitrosative signaling plays a major role in cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion injury. In this context, the gas transmitter nitric oxide may act through several mechanisms, such as guanylyl cyclase activation and via S-nitrosylation of proteins. The latter is a covalent modification of a protein cysteine thiol by a nitric oxide-group that generates an S-nitrosothiol. Here, we report data showing that nitric oxide and S-nitrosylation of proteins play a pivotal role not only in preconditioning but also in postconditioning cardioprotection.

Impaired mitochondrial energy supply coupled to increased H2O2 emission under energy/redox stress leads to myocardial dysfunction during Type I diabetes. Clin Sci (Lond) 2015; 129:561-74.

Abstract
In Type I diabetic (T1DM) patients, both peaks of hyperglycaemia and increased sympathetic tone probably contribute to impair systolic and diastolic function. However, how these stressors eventually alter cardiac function during T1DM is not fully understood. In the present study, we hypothesized that impaired mitochondrial energy supply and excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) emission is centrally involved in T1DM cardiac dysfunction due to metabolic/redox stress and aimed to determine the mitochondrial sites implicated in these alterations. To this end, we used isolated myocytes and mitochondria from Sham and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced T1DM guinea pigs (GPs), untreated or treated with insulin. Relative to controls, T1DM myocytes exhibited higher oxidative stress when challenged with high glucose (HG) combined with β-adrenergic stimulation [via isoprenaline (isoproterenol) (ISO)], leading to contraction/relaxation deficits. T1DM mitochondria had decreased respiration with complex II and IV substrates and markedly lower ADP phosphorylation rates and higher H2O2 emission when challenged with oxidants to mimic the more oxidized redox milieu present in HG + ISO-treated cardiomyocytes. Since in T1DM hearts insulin-sensitivity is preserved and a glucose-to-fatty acid (FA) shift occurs, we next tested whether insulin therapy or acute palmitate (Palm) infusion prevents HG + ISO-induced cardiac dysfunction. We found that insulin rescued proper cardiac redox balance, but not mitochondrial respiration or contractile performance. Conversely, Palm restored redox balance and preserved myocyte function. Thus, stressors such as peaks of HG and adrenergic hyperactivity impair mitochondrial respiration, hampering energy supply while exacerbating ROS emission. Our study suggests that an ideal therapeutic measure to treat metabolically/redox-challenged T1DM hearts should concomitantly correct energetic and redox abnormalities to fully maintain cardiac function.

Abstract
Acute heart failure (AHF) emerges as a major and growing epidemiological concern with high morbidity and mortality rates. Current therapies in patients with acute heart failure rely on different strategies. Patients with hypotension, hypoperfusion, or shock require inotropic support, whereas diuretics and vasodilators are recommended in patients with systemic or pulmonary congestion. Traditionally inotropic agents, referred to as Ca2+ mobilizers load the cardiomyocyte with Ca2+ and thereby increase oxygen consumption and risk for arrhythmias. These limitations of traditional inotropes may be avoided by sarcomere targeted agents. Direct activation of the cardiac sarcomere may be achieved by either sensitizing the cardiac myofilaments to Ca2+ or activating directly the cardiac myosin. In this review, we focus on sarcomere targeted inotropic agents, emphasizing their mechanisms of action and overview the most relevant clinical considerations.

Abstract
The loss of contractile function is a hallmark of heart failure. Although increasing intracellular Ca(2+) is a possible strategy for improving contraction, current inotropic agents that achieve this by raising intracellular cAMP levels, such as β-agonists and phosphodiesterase inhibitors, are generally deleterious when administered as long-term therapy due to arrhythmia and myocardial damage. Nitroxyl donors have been shown to improve cardiac function in normal and failing dogs, and in isolated cardiomyocytes they increase fractional shortening and Ca(2+) transients, independently from cAMP/PKA or cGMP/PKG signaling. Instead, nitroxyl targets cysteines in the EC-coupling machinery and myofilament proteins, reversibly modifying them to enhance Ca(2+) handling and myofilament Ca(2+) sensitivity. Phase I-IIa trials with CXL-1020, a novel pure HNO donor, reported declines in left and right heart filling pressures and systemic vascular resistance, and increased cardiac output and stroke volume index. These findings support the concept of nitroxyl donors as attractive agents for the treatment of acute decompensated heart failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nitroxyl (HNO), a redox congener of nitric oxide (NO·), is a novel regulator of cardiovascular function, combining concomitant positive inotropic, lusitropic, and vasodilator properties. Moreover, HNO exhibits myocardial antihypertrophic and superoxide-suppressing actions. Despite these favorable actions, the impact of chronic HNO administration has yet to be reported in the context of cardiomyopathy. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterized by early diastolic dysfunction and adverse left ventricular (LV) structural remodeling, with LV superoxide generation playing a major causal role. We tested the hypothesis that the HNO donor 1-nitrosocyclohexylacetate (1-NCA) limits cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and LV diastolic dysfunction in a mouse model of diabetes mellitus in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS Diabetes mellitus was induced in male FVB/N mice using streptozotocin. After 4 weeks, diabetic and nondiabetic mice were allocated to 1-NCA therapy (83 mg/kg per day IP) or vehicle and followed up for a further 4 weeks. Diabetes mellitus-induced LV diastolic dysfunction was evident on echocardiography-derived E and A wave velocities, E:A ratio, deceleration, and isovolumic relaxation times; LV systolic function was preserved. Increased LV cardiomyocyte size, hypertrophic and profibrotic gene expression, and upregulation of LV superoxide were also evident. These characteristics of diabetic cardiomyopathy were largely prevented by 1-NCA treatment. Selectivity of 1-NCA as an HNO donor was demonstrated by sensitivity of acute 1-NCA to l-cysteine but not to hydroxocobalamin in the normal rat heart ex vivo. CONCLUSIONS Our studies provide the first evidence that HNO donors may represent a promising strategy for treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy and implies therapeutic efficacy in settings of chronic heart failure.

Abstract
A novel fluorescein-based fluorescent probe for nitroxyl (HNO) based on the reductive Staudinger ligation of HNO with an aromatic phosphine was prepared. This probe reacts with HNO derived from Angeli's salt and 4-bromo Piloty's acid under physiological conditions without interference by other biological redox species. Confocal microscopy demonstrates this probe detects HNO by fluorescence in HeLa cells and mass spectrometric analysis of cell lysates confirms this probe detects HNO following the proposed mechanism.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO), the reduced and protonated form of nitric oxide (NO·), confers unique physiological effects including vasorelaxation and enhanced cardiac contractility. These features have spawned current pharmaceutical development of HNO donors as heart failure therapeutics. HNO interacts with selective redox sensitive cysteines to effect signaling but is also proposed to activate soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) in vitro to induce vasodilation and potentially enhance contractility. Here, we tested whether sGC stimulation is required for these HNO effects in vivo and if HNO also modifies a redox-sensitive cysteine (C42) in protein kinase G-1α to control vasorelaxation. Intact mice and isolated arteries lacking the sGC-β subunit (sGCKO, results in full sGC deficiency) or expressing solely a redox-dead C42S mutant protein kinase G-1α were exposed to the pure HNO donor, CXL-1020. CXL-1020 induced dose-dependent systemic vasodilation while increasing contractility in controls; however, vasodilator effects were absent in sGCKO mice whereas contractility response remained. The CXL-1020 dose reversing 50% of preconstricted force in aortic rings was ≈400-fold greater in sGCKO than controls. Cyclic-GMP and cAMP levels were unaltered in myocardium exposed to CXL-1020, despite its inotropic-vasodilator activity. In protein kinase G-1α(C42S) mice, CXL-1020 induced identical vasorelaxation in vivo and in isolated aortic and mesenteric vessels as in littermate controls. In both groups, dilation was near fully blocked by pharmacologically inhibiting sGC. Thus, sGC and cGMP-dependent signaling are necessary and sufficient for HNO-induced vasodilation in vivo but are not required for positive inotropic action. Redox modulation of protein kinase G-1α is not a mechanism for HNO-mediated vasodilation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The NO redox sibling nitroxyl (HNO) elicits soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)-dependent vasodilatation. HNO has high reactivity with thiols, which is attributed with HNO-enhanced left ventricular (LV) function. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the concomitant vasodilatation and inotropic actions induced by a HNO donor, Angeli's salt (sodium trioxodinitrate), were sGC-dependent and sGC-independent respectively. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Haemodynamic responses to Angeli's salt (10 pmol-10 μmol), alone and in the presence of scavengers of HNO (L-cysteine, 4 mM) or of NO [hydroxocobalamin (HXC), 100 μM] or a selective inhibitor of sGC [1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), 10 μM], a CGRP receptor antagonist (CGRP8-37 , 0.1 μM) or a blocker of voltage-dependent potassium channels [4-aminopyridine (4-AP), 1 mM] were determined in isolated hearts from male rats. KEY RESULTS Angeli's salt elicited concomitant, dose-dependent increases in coronary flow and LV systolic and diastolic function. Both L-cysteine and ODQ shifted (but did not abolish) the dose-response curve of each of these effects to the right, implying contributions from HNO and sGC in both the vasodilator and inotropic actions. In contrast, neither HXC, CGRP8-37 nor 4-AP affected these actions. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Both vasodilator and inotropic actions of the HNO donor Angeli's salt were mediated in part by sGC-dependent mechanisms, representing the first evidence that sGC contributes to the inotropic and lusitropic action of HNO in the intact heart. Thus, HNO acutely enhances LV contraction and relaxation, while concomitantly unloading the heart, potentially beneficial actions in failing hearts.

Abstract
Background Diastolic dysfunction is a highly prevalent cardiac abnormality in asymptomatic as well as ART‐treated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients. Although the mechanisms underlying depressed cardiac function remain obscure, diastolic dysfunction in SIV‐infected rhesus macaques is highly correlated with myocardial viral load. As cardiomyocytes are not productively infected, damage may be an indirect process attributable to a combination of pro‐inflammatory mediators and viral proteins. Methods and Results Given the diverse roles of CCR5 in mediating recruitment of leukocytes to inflammatory sites and serving as a receptor for HIV entry into cells, we investigated the role of CCR5 in the SIV/macaque model of diastolic dysfunction. We found that in SIV‐infected macaques, CCR5 inhibition dramatically impacted myocardial viral load measured by qRT‐PCR and prevented diastolic dysfunction measured by echocardiography. Complementary in vitro experiments using fluorescence microscopy showed that CCR5 ligands impaired contractile function of isolated cardiomyocytes, thus identifying CCR5 signaling as a novel mediator of impaired cardiac mechanical function. Conclusions Together, these findings incriminate SIV/HIV gp120‐CCR5 as well as chemokine‐CCR5 interactions in HIV‐associated cardiac dysfunction. These findings also have important implications for the treatment of HIV‐infected individuals: in addition to antiviral properties and reduced chemokine‐mediated recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells, CCR5 inhibition may provide a cardioprotective benefit by preventing cardiomyocyte CCR5 signaling.

Abstract
Defective intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) handling is implicated in the pathogenesis of heart failure. Novel approaches targeting both cardiac Ca(2+) release and reuptake processes, such as S100A1, have the potential to rescue the function of failing cardiac myocytes. Here, we show that two members of the S100 Ca(2+) binding protein family, S100A2 and S100A6 that share high sequence homology, differentially influence cardiac Ca(2+) handling and contractility. Cardiac gene expression of S100A2 significantly enhanced both contractile and relaxation performance of rodent and canine cardiac myocytes, mimicking the functional effects of its cardiac homologue, S100A1. To interrogate mechanism, Ca(2+) spark frequency, a measure of the gating of the ryanodine receptor Ca(2+) release channel, was found to be significantly increased by S100A2. Therapeutic testing showed that S100A2 rescued the contractile defects of failing cardiac myocytes. In contrast, cardiac expression of S100A6 had no significant effects on contractility or Ca(2+) handling. These data reveal novel differential effects of S100 proteins on cardiac myocyte performance that may be useful in application to diseased cardiac muscle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Calcium handling is known to be deranged in heart failure. Interventions aimed at improving cell Ca(2) (+) cycling may represent a promising approach to heart failure therapy. Istaroxime is a new luso-inotropic compound that stimulates cardiac contractility and relaxation in healthy and failing animal models and in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) syndrome. Istaroxime is a Na-K ATPase inhibitor with the unique property of increasing sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) SERCA2a activity as shown in heart microsomes from humans and guinea pigs. The present study addressed the molecular mechanism by which istaroxime increases SERCA2a activity. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH To study the effect of istaroxime on SERCA2a-phospholamban (PLB) complex, we applied different methodologies in native dog healthy and failing heart preparations and heterologous canine SERCA2a/PLB co-expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf21) insect cells. KEY RESULTS We showed that istaroxime enhances SERCA2a activity, Ca(2) (+) uptake and the Ca(2) (+) -dependent charge movements into dog healthy and failing cardiac SR vesicles. Although not directly demonstrated, the most probable explanation of these activities is the displacement of PLB from SERCA2a.E2 conformation, independently from cAMP/PKA. We propose that this displacement may favour the SERCA2a conformational transition from E2 to E1, thus resulting in the acceleration of Ca(2) (+) cycling. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Istaroxime represents the first example of a small molecule that exerts a luso-inotropic effect in the failing human heart through the stimulation of SERCA2a ATPase activity and the enhancement of Ca(2) (+) uptake into the SR by relieving the PLB inhibitory effect on SERCA2a in a cAMP/PKA independent way.

Abstract
Nitric oxide is a key signaling molecule in the heart and is produced endogenously by three isoforms of nitric oxide synthase, neuronal NOS (NOS1), endothelial NOS (NOS3), and inducible NOS (NOS2). Nitric oxide signals via cGMP-dependent or independent pathways to modulate downstream proteins via specific post translational modifications (i.e. cGMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation, S-nitrosylation, etc.). Dysfunction of NOS (i.e. altered expression, location, coupling, activity, etc.) exists in various cardiac disease conditions, such as heart failure, contributing to the contractile dysfunction, adverse remodeling, and hypertrophy. This review will focus on the signaling pathways of each NOS isoform during health and disease, and discuss current and potential therapeutic approaches targeting nitric oxide signaling to treat heart disease.

Abstract
AIMS Nitroxyl (HNO) interacts with thiols to act as a redox-sensitive modulator of protein function. It enhances sarcoplasmic reticular Ca(2+) uptake and myofilament Ca(2+) sensitivity, improving cardiac contractility. This activity has led to clinical testing of HNO donors for heart failure. Here we tested whether HNO alters the inhibitory interaction between phospholamban (PLN) and the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA2a) in a redox-dependent manner, improving Ca(2+) handling in isolated myocytes/hearts. RESULTS Ventriculocytes, sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles, and whole hearts were isolated from control (wildtype [WT]) or PLN knockout (pln(-/-)) mice. Compared to WT, pln(-/-) myocytes displayed enhanced resting sarcomere shortening, peak Ca(2+) transient, and blunted β-adrenergic responsiveness. HNO stimulated shortening, relaxation, and Ca(2+) transient in WT cardiomyocytes, and evoked positive inotropy/lusitropy in intact hearts. These changes were markedly blunted in pln(-/-) cells/hearts. HNO enhanced SR Ca(2+) uptake in WT but not pln(-/-) SR-vesicles. Spectroscopic studies in insect cell microsomes expressing SERCA2a±PLN showed that HNO increased Ca(2+)-dependent SERCA2a conformational flexibility but only when PLN was present. In cardiomyocytes, HNO achieved this effect by stabilizing PLN in an oligomeric disulfide bond-dependent configuration, decreasing the amount of free inhibitory monomeric PLN available. INNOVATION HNO-dependent redox changes in myocyte PLN oligomerization relieve PLN inhibition of SERCA2a. CONCLUSIONS PLN plays a central role in HNO-induced enhancement of SERCA2a activity, leading to increased inotropy/lusitropy in intact myocytes and hearts. PLN remains physically associated with SERCA2a; however, less monomeric PLN is available resulting in decreased inhibition of the enzyme. These findings offer new avenues to improve Ca(2+) handling in failing hearts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The nitroxyl (HNO) donor, Angeli's salt, exerts positive inotropic, lusitropic, and vasodilator effects in vivo that are cAMP independent. Its clinical usefulness is limited by chemical instability and cogeneration of nitrite which itself has vascular effects. Here, we report on effects of a novel, stable, pure HNO donor (CXL-1020) in isolated myoctyes and intact hearts in experimental models and in patients with heart failure (HF). METHODS AND RESULTS CXL-1020 converts solely to HNO and inactive CXL-1051 with a t1/2 of 2 minutes. In adult mouse ventricular myocytes, it dose dependently increased sarcomere shortening by 75% to 210% (50-500 μmol/L), with a ≈30% rise in the peak Ca(2+) transient only at higher doses. Neither inhibition of protein kinase A nor soluble guanylate cyclase altered this contractile response. Unlike isoproterenol, CXL-1020 was equally effective in myocytes from normal or failing hearts. In anesthetized dogs with coronary microembolization-induced HF, CXL-1020 reduced left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and myocardial oxygen consumption while increasing ejection fraction from 27% to 40% and maximal ventricular power index by 42% (both P<0.05). In conscious dogs with tachypacing-induced HF, CXL-1020 increased contractility assessed by end-systolic elastance and provided venoarterial dilation. Heart rate was minimally altered. In patients with systolic HF, CXL-1020 reduced both left and right heart filling pressures and systemic vascular resistance, while increasing cardiac and stroke volume index. Heart rate was unchanged, and arterial pressure declined modestly. CONCLUSIONS These data show the functional efficacy of a novel pure HNO donor to enhance myocardial function and present first-in-man evidence for its potential usefulness in HF.

Abstract
Structural modifications of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have successfully reduced the side effect of gastrointestinal ulceration without affecting anti-inflammatory activity, but they may increase the risk of myocardial infarction with chronic use. The fact that nitroxyl (HNO) reduces platelet aggregation, preconditions against myocardial infarction, and enhances contractility led us to synthesize a diazeniumdiolate-based HNO-releasing aspirin and to compare it to an NO-releasing analogue. Here, the decomposition mechanisms are described for these compounds. In addition to protection against stomach ulceration, these prodrugs exhibited significantly enhanced cytotoxcity compared to either aspirin or the parent diazeniumdiolate toward nonsmall cell lung carcinoma cells (A549), but they were not appreciably toxic toward endothelial cells (HUVECs). The HNO-NSAID prodrug inhibited cylcooxgenase-2 and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and triggered significant sarcomere shortening on murine ventricular myocytes compared to control. Together, these anti-inflammatory, antineoplasic, and contractile properties suggest the potential of HNO-NSAIDs in the treatment of inflammation, cancer, or heart failure.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO), a potential heart failure therapeutic, is known to post-translationally modify cysteine residues. Among reactive nitrogen oxide species, the modification of cysteine residues to sulfinamides [RS(O)NH2] is unique to HNO. We have applied (15)N-edited (1)H NMR techniques to detect the HNO-induced thiol to sulfinamide modification in several small organic molecules, peptides, and the cysteine protease, papain. Relevant reactions of sulfinamides involve reduction to free thiols in the presence of excess thiol and hydrolysis to form sulfinic acids [RS(O)OH]. We have investigated sulfinamide hydrolysis at physiological pH and temperature. Studies with papain and a related model peptide containing the active site thiol suggest that sulfinamide hydrolysis can be enhanced in a protein environment. These findings are also supported by modeling studies. In addition, analysis of peptide sulfinamides at various pH values suggests that hydrolysis becomes more facile under acidic conditions.

Abstract
Impaired platelet responsiveness to nitric oxide (NO resistance) is a common characteristic of many cardiovascular disease states and represents an independent risk factor for cardiac events and mortality. NO resistance reflects both scavenging of NO by superoxide (O2(-)), and impairment of the NO receptor, soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC). There is thus an urgent need for circumvention of NO resistance in order to improve clinical outcomes. Nitroxyl (HNO), like NO, produces vasodilator and anti-aggregatory effects, largely via sGC activation, but is not inactivated by O2(-). We tested the hypothesis that HNO circumvents NO resistance in human platelets. In 57 subjects with or without ischemic heart disease, platelet responses to the HNO donor isopropylamine NONOate (IPA/NO) and the NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) were compared. While SNP (10μM) induced 29±3% (p<0.001) inhibition of platelet aggregation, IPA/NO (10μM) caused 75±4% inhibition (p<0.001). In NO-resistant subjects (n=28), the IPA/NO:SNP response ratio was markedly increased (p<0.01), consistent with partial circumvention of NO resistance. Similarly, cGMP accumulation in platelets was greater (p<0.001) with IPA/NO than with SNP stimulation. The NO scavenger carboxy-PTIO (CPTIO, 200μM) inhibited SNP and IPA/NO responses by 92±7% and 17±4% respectively (p<0.001 for differential inhibition), suggesting that effects of IPA/NO are only partially NO-mediated. ODQ (10μM) inhibited IPA/NO responses by 36±8% (p<0.001), consistent with a contribution of sGC/haem to IPA/NO inhibition of aggregation. There was no significant relationship between whole blood ROS content and IPA/NO responses. Thus the HNO donor IPA/NO substantially circumvents platelet NO resistance while acting, at least partially, as a haem-mediated sGC activator.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) possesses unique and potentially important biological/physiological activity that is currently mechanistically ill-defined. Previous work has shown that the likely biological targets for HNO are thiol proteins, oxidized metalloproteins (i.e. ferric heme proteins) and, most likely, selenoproteins. Interestingly, these are the same classes of proteins that interact with H2O2. In fact, these classes of proteins not only react with H2O2, and thus potentially responsible for the signaling actions of H2O2, but are also responsible for the degradation of H2O2. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to speculate that HNO can affect H2O2 degradation by interacting with H2O2-degrading proteins possibly leading to an increase in H2O2-mediated signaling. Moreover, considering the commonality between HNO and H2O2 biological targets, it also seems likely that HNO-mediated signaling can also be due to reactivity at otherwise H2O2-reactive sites. Herein, it is found that HNO does indeed inhibit H2O2 degradation via inhibition of H2O2-metaboilizing proteins. Also, it is found that in a system known to be regulated by H2O2 (T cell activation), HNO behaves similarly to H2O2, indicating that HNO- and H2O2-signaling may be similar and/or intimately related.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) reacts with thiols, and this reactivity requires the use of donors with 1-nitrosocyclohexyl acetate, pivalate, and trifluoroacetate, forming a new group. These acyloxy nitroso compounds inhibit glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) by forming a reduction reversible active site disulfide and a reduction irreversible sulfinic acid or sulfinamide modification at Cys244. Addition of these acyloxy nitroso compounds to AhpC C165S yields a sulfinic acid and sulfinamide modification. A potential mechanism for these transformations includes nucleophilic addition of the protein thiol to a nitroso compound to yield an N-hydroxysulfenamide, which reacts with thiol to give disulfide or rearranges to sulfinamides. Known HNO donors produce the unsubstituted protein sulfinamide as the major product, while the acetate and pivalate give substituted sulfinamides that hydrolyze to sulfinic acids. These results suggest that nitroso compounds form a general class of thiol-modifying compounds, allowing their further exploration.

Abstract
Spatiotemporal regulation of the activity of a vast array of intracellular proteins and signaling pathways by reactive oxygen species (ROS) governs normal cardiovascular function. However, data from experimental and animal studies strongly support that dysregulated redox signaling, resulting from hyperactivation of various cellular oxidases or mitochondrial dysfunction, is integral to the pathogenesis and progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this review, we address how redox signaling modulates the protein function, the various sources of increased oxidative stress in CVD, and the labyrinth of redox-sensitive molecular mechanisms involved in the development of atherosclerosis, hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Advances in redox biology and pharmacology for inhibiting ROS production in specific cell types and subcellular organelles combined with the development of nanotechnology-based new in vivo imaging systems and targeted drug delivery mechanisms may enable fine-tuning of redox signaling for the treatment and prevention of CVD.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO), the redox congener of nitric oxide, has numerous vasoprotective actions including an ability to induce vasodilation and inhibit platelet aggregation. Given HNO is resistant to scavenging by superoxide and does not develop tolerance, we hypothesised that HNO would retain its in vivo vasodilatory action in the setting of hypertension. The in vitro and in vivo vasodilator properties of the HNO donors Angeli's salt (AS) and isopropylamine/NONOate (IPA/NO) were compared with the NO donor diethylamine/NONOate (DEA/NO) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive [Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats]. AS (10, 50, and 200 μg/kg), IPA/NO (10, 50, and 200 μg/kg), and DEA/NO (1, 5, and 20 μg/kg) caused dose-dependent depressor responses in conscious WKY rats of similar magnitude. Depressor responses to AS and IPA/NO were significantly attenuated (P < 0.01) after infusion of the HNO scavenger N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), confirming that AS and IPA/NO function as HNO donors in vivo. In contrast, responses to DEA/NO were unchanged following NAC infusion. Depressor responses to AS and IPA/NO in conscious SHR retained their sensitivity to the inhibitory effects of NAC (P < 0.01), yet those to DEA/NO in SHR were significantly (P < 0.05) enhanced following NAC infusion. Importantly, depressor responses to AS, IPA/NO, and DEA/NO were preserved in hypertension and vasorelaxation to AS and DEA/NO, in isolated aorta, unchanged in SHR as compared with WKY rats. This study has shown for the first time that HNO donors exert antihypertensive effects in vivo and may, therefore, offer a therapeutic alternative to traditional nitrovasodilators in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension.

Abstract
Nox2 oxidase activity underlies the oxidative stress and vascular dysfunction associated with several vascular-related diseases. We have reported that nitric oxide (NO) decreases reactive oxygen species production by endothelial Nox2. This study tested the hypothesis that nitroxyl (HNO), the redox sibling of NO, also suppresses vascular Nox2 oxidase activity. Specifically, we examined the influence of two well-characterized HNO donors, Angeli's salt and isopropylamine NONOate (IPA/NO), on Nox2-dependent responses to angiotensin II (reactive oxygen species production and vasoconstriction) in mouse cerebral arteries. Angiotensin II (0.1μmol/L)-stimulated superoxide (measured by lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence) and hydrogen peroxide (Amplex red fluorescence) levels in cerebral arteries (pooled basilar and middle cerebral (MCA)) from wild-type (WT) mice were ~60% lower (P<0.05) in the presence of either Angeli's salt (1μmol/L) or IPA/NO (1μmol/L). Similarly, phorbyl 12,13-dibutyrate (10μmol/L; Nox2 activator)-stimulated hydrogen peroxide levels were ~40% lower in the presence of IPA/NO (1μmol/L; P<0.05). The ability of IPA/NO to decrease superoxide levels was reversible and abolished by the HNO scavenger l-cysteine (3mmol/L; P<0.05), but was unaffected by hydroxocobalamin (100μmol/L; NO scavenger), ODQ (10μmol/L; soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) inhibitor), or Rp-8-pCPT-cGMPS (10μmol/L; cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase inhibitor). Angiotensin II-stimulated superoxide was substantially less in arteries from Nox2-deficient (Nox2(-/y)) versus WT mice (P<0.05). In contrast to WT, IPA/NO (1μmol/L) had no effect on superoxide levels in arteries from Nox2(-/y) mice. Finally, angiotensin II (1-1000μmol/L)-induced constriction of WT MCA was virtually abolished by IPA/NO (1μmol/L), whereas constrictor responses to either the thromboxane A2 mimetic U46619 (1-100 nmol/L) or high potassium (122.7mmol/L) were unaffected. In conclusion, HNO suppresses vascular Nox2 oxidase activity via a sGC-cGMP-independent pathway. Thus, HNO donors might be useful therapeutic agents to limit and/or prevent Nox2-dependent vascular dysfunction.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) is a redox congener of NO. We now directly compare the antihypertrophic efficacy of HNO and NO donors in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and compare their contributing mechanisms of actions in this setting. Isopropylamine-NONOate (IPA-NO) elicited concentration-dependent inhibition of endothelin-1 (ET1)-induced increases in cardiomyocyte size, with similar suppression of hypertrophic genes. Antihypertrophic IPA-NO actions were significantly attenuated by l-cysteine (HNO scavenger), Rp-8-pCTP-cGMPS (cGMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor), and 1-H-(1,2,4)-oxodiazolo-quinxaline-1-one [ODQ; to target soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)] but were unaffected by carboxy-PTIO (NO scavenger) or CGRP8-37 (calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonist). Furthermore, IPA-NO significantly increased cardiomyocyte cGMP 3.5-fold (an l-cysteine-sensitive effect) and stimulated sGC activity threefold, without detectable NO release. IPA-NO also suppressed ET1-induced cardiomyocyte superoxide generation. The pure NO donor diethylamine-NONOate (DEA-NO) reproduced these IPA-NO actions but was sensitive to carboxy-PTIO rather than l-cysteine. Although IPA-NO stimulation of purified sGC was preserved under pyrogallol oxidant stress (in direct contrast to DEA-NO), cardiomyocyte sGC activity after either donor was attenuated by this stress. Excitingly IPA-NO also exhibited acute antihypertrophic actions in response to pressure overload in the intact heart. Together these data strongly suggest that IPA-NO protection against cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is independent of both NO and CGRP but rather utilizes novel HNO activation of cGMP signaling. Thus HNO acutely limits hypertrophy independently of NO, even under conditions of elevated superoxide. Development of longer-acting HNO donors may thus represent an attractive new strategy for the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy, as stand-alone and/or add-on therapy to standard care.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are emerging as centre-stage players in cardiac functional regulation. ROS and Ca(2+) signals converge at dyads, the structural and functional units of cardiac excitation-contraction coupling. These two prominent signalling systems are intertwined with ROS modulation of the entire Ca(2+)-signalling network, and vice versa. While constitutively generated homoeostatic ROS are important in setting the redox potential of the intracellular milieu, dynamic signalling ROS shape microdomain and global Ca(2+) signals on both the beat-to-beat and greater time scales. However, ROS effects are complex and subtle, characterized by multiphasic and bidirectional Ca(2+) responses; and sustained oxidative stress may lead to compromised contractility and arrhythmogenicity. These new understandings should be leveraged to harness ROS for their beneficial roles while avoiding deleterious effects in the heart.

Abstract
EF-hand proteins are ubiquitous in cell signaling. Parvalbumin (Parv), the archetypal EF-hand protein, is a high-affinity Ca(2+) buffer in many biological systems. Given the centrality of Ca(2+) signaling in health and disease, EF-hand motifs designed to have new biological activities may have widespread utility. Here, an EF-hand motif substitution that had been presumed to destroy EF-hand function, that of glutamine for glutamate at position 12 of the second cation binding loop domain of Parv (ParvE101Q), markedly inverted relative cation affinities: Mg(2+) affinity increased, whereas Ca(2+) affinity decreased, forming a new ultra-delayed Ca(2+) buffer with favorable properties for promoting cardiac relaxation. In therapeutic testing, expression of ParvE101Q fully reversed the severe myocyte intrinsic contractile defect inherent to expression of native Parv and corrected abnormal myocardial relaxation in diastolic dysfunction disease models in vitro and in vivo. Strategic design of new EF-hand motif domains to modulate intracellular Ca(2+) signaling could benefit many biological systems with abnormal Ca(2+) handling, including the diseased heart.
