Tian Z, Li X, Shi X, Chen C. Effects of nitric oxide synthase inhibitor on mitochondria apoptosis and meat quality in postmortem Gannan yak (Bos grunniens) meat. J Food Biochem 2022; 46:e14234. [PMID: 35608959 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.14234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Revised: 04/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
This research aimed to explore the effects of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor (L-NAME) on mitochondria apoptosis in postmortem Gannan yak (Bos grunniens) longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle and to explore its effect on meat quality further. The Gannan yak meat samples were treated with the control group (0.9% NaCl) and L-NAME (20, 60, and 100 mM) for 24 h and then stored for 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 days at 4°C. NOS activity and NO content were investigated, and the parameters of mitochondrial apoptosis of the postmortem Gannan yak meat were determined. Meanwhile, the meat quality such as the centrifugation loss, meat color, and myofibril fragmentation index (MFI) was evaluated. The results indicated that after treatment with L-NAME, NOS activity and NO content decreased, causing mitochondrial membrane damage, Bax protein, and Cyt-c levels increased, and resulted in increased activities of caspase-9 and -3, promoting the occurrence of mitochondrial apoptosis. Furthermore, it increased the tenderness and water retention of Gannan yak meat. The results indicated that NOS inhibitor played a regulatory role in postmortem Gannan yak meat quality by regulating mitochondria apoptosis during postmortem aging. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: The meat's tenderness is often considered the most important factor affecting consumers' willingness to repurchase. The relationship of caspases and MFI suggested that L-NAME played a regulatory role in postmortem Gannan yak meat quality by regulating mitochondria apoptosis during postmortem aging. This study provides valuable information for the development of the Gannan yak economy in Tibetan areas.

Abstract
The ability§ of the heart to adapt to changes in the mechanical environment is critical for normal cardiac physiology. The role of nitric oxide is increasingly recognized as a mediator of mechanical signaling. Produced in the heart by nitric oxide synthases, nitric oxide affects almost all mechano-transduction pathways within the cardiomyocyte, with roles mediating mechano-sensing, mechano-electric feedback (via modulation of ion channel activity), and calcium handling. As more precise experimental techniques for applying mechanical stresses to cells are developed, the role of these forces in cardiomyocyte function can be further understood. Furthermore, specific inhibitors of different nitric oxide synthase isoforms are now available to elucidate the role of these enzymes in mediating mechano-electrical signaling. Understanding of the links between nitric oxide production and mechano-electrical signaling is incomplete, particularly whether mechanically sensitive ion channels are regulated by nitric oxide, and how this affects the cardiac action potential. This is of particular relevance to conditions such as atrial fibrillation and heart failure, in which nitric oxide production is reduced. Dysfunction of the nitric oxide/mechano-electrical signaling pathways are likely to be a feature of cardiac pathology (e.g., atrial fibrillation, cardiomyopathy, and heart failure) and a better understanding of the importance of nitric oxide signaling and its links to mechanical regulation of heart function may advance our understanding of these conditions.

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
SIGNIFICANCE Heart failure (HF) results from poor heart function and is the leading cause of death in Western society. Abnormalities of Ca(2+) handling at the level of the ventricular myocyte are largely responsible for much of the poor heart function. RECENT ADVANCES Although studies have unraveled numerous mechanisms for the abnormal Ca(2+) handling, investigations over the past decade have indicated that much of the contractile dysfunction and adverse remodeling that occurs in HF involves oxidative stress. CRITICAL ISSUES Regrettably, antioxidant therapy has been an immense disappointment in clinical trials. Thus, redox signaling is being reassessed to elucidate why antioxidants failed to treat HF. FUTURE DIRECTIONS A recently identified aspect of redox signaling (specifically the superoxide anion radical) is its interaction with nitric oxide, known as the nitroso-redox balance. There is a large nitroso-redox imbalance with HF, and we suggest that correcting this imbalance may be able to restore myocyte contraction and improve heart function.

Abstract
AIMS Cardiomyocyte swelling occurs in multiple pathological situations and has been associated with contractile dysfunction, cell death, and enhanced propensity to arrhythmias. We investigate whether hypotonic swelling promotes nitric oxide (NO) release in cardiomyocytes, and whether it impacts on swelling-induced contractile dysfunction. METHODS AND RESULTS Superfusing rat cardiomyocytes with a hypotonic solution (HS; 217 mOsm), increased cell volume, reduced myocyte contraction and Ca(2+) transient, and increased NO-sensitive 4-amino-5-methylamino-2',7'-difluorofluorescein diacetate (DAF-FM) fluorescence. When cells were exposed to HS + 2.5 mM of the NO synthase inhibitor l-NAME, cell swelling occurred in the absence of NO release. Swelling-induced NO release was also prevented by the nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS1) inhibitor, nitroguanidine, and significantly reduced in NOS1 knockout mice. Additionally, colchicine (inhibitor of microtubule polymerization) prevented the increase in DAF-FM fluorescence induced by HS, indicating that microtubule integrity is necessary for swelling-induced NO release. The swelling-induced negative inotropic effect was exacerbated in the presence of either l-NAME, nitroguandine, the guanylate cyclase inhibitor, ODQ, or the PKG inhibitor, KT5823, suggesting that NOS1-derived NO provides contractile support via a cGMP/PKG-dependent mechanism. Indeed, ODQ reduced Ca(2+) wave velocity and both ODQ and KT5823 reduced the HS-induced increment in ryanodine receptor (RyR2, Ser2808) phosphorylation, suggesting that in this context, cGMP/PKG may contribute to preserve contractile function by enhancing sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) release. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest a novel mechanism for NO release in cardiomyocytes with putative pathophysiological relevance determined, at least in part, by its capability to reduce the extent of contractile dysfunction associated with hypotonic swelling.

Abstract
It has been long noted that cardiac cell apoptosis provoked by excessive production of nitric oxide (NO) plays important roles in the pathogenesis of variant cardiac diseases. Attenuation of NO-induced injury would be an alternative therapeutic approach for the development of cardiac disorders. This study investigated the effects of α-lipoic acid (LA) on the injury induced by sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a widely used NO donor, in rat cardiomyoblast H9c2 cells. SNP challenge significantly decreased cell viability and increased apoptosis, as evidenced by morphological abnormalities, nuclear condensation and decline of mitochondrial potential (ΔΨm). These changes induced by SNP were significantly attenuated by LA pretreatment. Furthermore, LA pretreatment prevented the SNP-triggered suppression of Akt and Gsk-3β activation. Blockade of Akt activation with triciribin (API) completely abolished the cytoprotection of LA against SNP challenge. In addition, LA moderately increased intracellular ROS production. Interestingly, inhibition of ROS with N-acetylcysteine abrogated Akt/Gsk-3β activation and the LA-induced cytoprotection following SNP stimulation. Taken together, the results indicate that LA protected the SNP-induced injury in cardiac H9c2 cells through, at least in part, the activation of Akt/Gsk-3β signaling in a ROS-dependent mechanism.

Nitric oxide-dependent activation of CaMKII increases diastolic sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release in cardiac myocytes in response to adrenergic stimulation. PLoS One 2014; 9:e87495.

Abstract
Spontaneous calcium waves in cardiac myocytes are caused by diastolic sarcoplasmic reticulum release (SR Ca(2+) leak) through ryanodine receptors. Beta-adrenergic (β-AR) tone is known to increase this leak through the activation of Ca-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMKII) and the subsequent phosphorylation of the ryanodine receptor. When β-AR drive is chronic, as observed in heart failure, this CaMKII-dependent effect is exaggerated and becomes potentially arrhythmogenic. Recent evidence has indicated that CaMKII activation can be regulated by cellular oxidizing agents, such as reactive oxygen species. Here, we investigate how the cellular second messenger, nitric oxide, mediates CaMKII activity downstream of the adrenergic signaling cascade and promotes the generation of arrhythmogenic spontaneous Ca(2+) waves in intact cardiomyocytes. Both SCaWs and SR Ca(2+) leak were measured in intact rabbit and mouse ventricular myocytes loaded with the Ca-dependent fluorescent dye, fluo-4. CaMKII activity in vitro and immunoblotting for phosphorylated residues on CaMKII, nitric oxide synthase, and Akt were measured to confirm activity of these enzymes as part of the adrenergic cascade. We demonstrate that stimulation of the β-AR pathway by isoproterenol increased the CaMKII-dependent SR Ca(2+) leak. This increased leak was prevented by inhibition of nitric oxide synthase 1 but not nitric oxide synthase 3. In ventricular myocytes isolated from wild-type mice, isoproterenol stimulation also increased the CaMKII-dependent leak. Critically, in myocytes isolated from nitric oxide synthase 1 knock-out mice this effect is ablated. We show that isoproterenol stimulation leads to an increase in nitric oxide production, and nitric oxide alone is sufficient to activate CaMKII and increase SR Ca(2+) leak. Mechanistically, our data links Akt to nitric oxide synthase 1 activation downstream of β-AR stimulation. Collectively, this evidence supports the hypothesis that CaMKII is regulated by nitric oxide as part of the adrenergic cascade leading to arrhythmogenesis.

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
AIM Nitric oxide (NO) synthesized by cardiomyocytes plays an important role in the regulation of cardiac function. Here, we studied the impact of NO signalling on calcium influx in human right atrial myocytes and its relation to atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS AND RESULTS Right atrial appendages (RAAs) were obtained from patients in sinus rhythm (SR) and AF. The biotin-switch technique was used to evaluate endogenous S-nitrosylation of the α1C subunit of L-type calcium channels. Comparing SR to AF, S-nitrosylation of Ca(2+) channels was similar. Direct effects of the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine (SNAP) on L-type calcium current (ICa,L) were studied in cardiomyocytes with standard voltage-clamp techniques. In SR, ICa,L increased with SNAP (100 µM) by 48%, n/N = 117/56, P < 0.001. The SNAP effect on ICa,L involved activation of soluble guanylate cyclase and protein kinase A. Specific inhibition of phosphodiesterase (PDE)3 with cilostamide (1 µM) enhanced ICa,L to a similar extent as SNAP. However, when cAMP was elevated by PDE3 inhibition or β-adrenoceptor stimulation, SNAP reduced ICa,L, pointing to cGMP-cAMP cross-regulation. In AF, the stimulatory effect of SNAP on ICa,L was attenuated, while its inhibitory effect on isoprenaline- or cilostamide-stimulated current was preserved. cGMP elevation with SNAP was comparable between the SR and AF group. Moreover, the expression of PDE3 and soluble guanylate cyclase was not reduced in AF. CONCLUSION NO exerts dual effects on ICa,L in SR with an increase of basal and inhibition of cAMP-stimulated current, and in AF NO inhibits only stimulated ICa,L. We conclude that in AF, cGMP regulation of PDE2 is preserved, but regulation of PDE3 is lost.

Abstract
cGMP-dependent protein kinases (cGK) are serine/threonine kinases that are widely distributed in eukaryotes. Two genes-prkg1 and prkg2-code for cGKs, namely, cGKI and cGKII. In mammals, two isozymes, cGKIα and cGKIβ, are generated from the prkg1 gene. The cGKI isozymes are prominent in all types of smooth muscle, platelets, and specific neuronal areas such as cerebellar Purkinje cells, hippocampal neurons, and the lateral amygdala. The cGKII prevails in the secretory epithelium of the small intestine, the juxtaglomerular cells, the adrenal cortex, the chondrocytes, and in the nucleus suprachiasmaticus. Both cGKs are major downstream effectors of many, but not all, signalling events of the NO/cGMP and the ANP/cGMP pathways. cGKI relaxes smooth muscle tone and prevents platelet aggregation, whereas cGKII inhibits renin secretion, chloride/water secretion in the small intestine, the resetting of the clock during early night, and endochondral bone growth. This chapter focuses on the involvement of cGKs in cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular processes including cell growth and metabolism.

Abstract
Within cardiomyocytes, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) are thought to modulate L-type calcium channel (LTCC) function and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium cycling, respectively. However, divergent results from mostly invasive prior studies suggest more complex roles. To elucidate the roles of nNOS and eNOS in vivo, we applied noninvasive cardiac MRI to study wild-type (WT), eNOS(-/-), and nNOS(-/-) mice. An in vivo index of LTCC flux (LTCCI) was measured at baseline (Bsl), dobutamine (Dob), and dobutamine + carbacholamine (Dob + CCh) using manganese-enhanced MRI. Displacement-encoded MRI assessed contractile function by measuring circumferential strain (E(cc)) and systolic (dE(cc)/dt) and diastolic (dE(cc)/dt(diastolic)) strain rates at Bsl, Dob, and Dob + CCh. Bsl LTCCI was highest in nNOS(-/-) mice (P < 0.05 vs. WT and eNOS(-/-)) and increased only in WT and eNOS(-/-) mice with Dob (P < 0.05 vs. Bsl). LTCCI decreased significantly from Dob levels with Dob + CCh in all mice. Contractile function, as assessed by E(cc), was similar in all mice at Bsl. With Dob, E(cc) increased significantly in WT and eNOS(-/-) but not nNOS(-/-) mice (P < 0.05 vs. WT and eNOS(-/-)). With Dob + CCh, E(cc) returned to baseline levels in all mice. Systolic blood pressure, measured via tail plethysmography, was highest in eNOS(-/-) mice (P < 0.05 vs. WT and nNOS(-/-)). Mice deficient in nNOS demonstrate increased Bsl LTCC function and an attenuated contractile reserve to Dob, whereas eNOS(-/-) mice demonstrate normal LTCC and contractile function under all conditions. These results suggest that nNOS, not eNOS, plays the dominant role in modulating Ca(2+) cycling in the heart.

Abstract
Cyclic guanosine 3'5'monophosphate (cGMP) is the common downstream second messenger of natriuretic peptides and nitric oxide. In cardiac myocytes, the physiological effects of cGMP are exerted through the activation of protein kinase G (PKG) signaling, and the activation and/or inhibition of phosphodiesterases (PDEs), providing an integration point between cAMP and cGMP signals. Specificity of cGMP signals is achieved through compartmentalization of cGMP synthesis by guanylate cyclases, and cGMP hydrolysis by PDEs. Increasing evidence suggests that cGMP-dependent signaling pathways play an important role in inhibiting cardiac remodeling, through the inhibition Ca(2+) handling upstream of pathological Ca(2+)-dependent signaling pathways. Thus, enhancing cardiac myocyte cGMP signaling represents a promising therapeutic target for treatment of cardiovascular disease. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Local Signaling in Myocytes."

Abstract
Excitation-contraction coupling involves the faithful conversion of electrical stimuli to mechanical shortening in striated muscle cells, enabled by the ubiquitous second messenger, calcium. Crucial to this process are ryanodine receptors (RyRs), the sentinels of massive intracellular calcium stores contained within the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In response to sarcolemmal depolarization, RyRs release calcium into the cytosol, facilitating mobilization of the myofilaments and enabling cell contraction. In order for the cells to relax, calcium must be rapidly resequestered or extruded from the cytosol. The sustainability of this cycle is crucially dependent upon precise regulation of RyRs by numerous cytosolic metabolites and by proteins within the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and those directly associated with the receptors in a macromolecular complex. In addition to providing the majority of the calcium necessary for contraction of cardiac and skeletal muscle, RyRs act as molecular switchboards that integrate a multitude of cytosolic signals such as dynamic and steady calcium fluctuations, β-adrenergic stimulation (phosphorylation), nitrosylation and metabolic states, and transduce these signals to the channel pore to release appropriate amounts of calcium. Indeed, dysregulation of calcium release via RyRs is associated with life-threatening diseases in both skeletal and cardiac muscle. In this paper, we briefly review some of the most outstanding structural and functional attributes of RyRs and their mechanism of regulation. Further, we address pathogenic RyR dysfunction implicated in cardiovascular disease and skeletal myopathies.

Abstract
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and nitric oxide (NO) are important mediators of the inflammatory response. We report that in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), NO exerts a biphasic effect on the expression of IL-6. Using sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) as NO-donating compounds, we observed that both mRNA and protein levels of IL-6 increased at lower (≤10μM) and decreased at higher (>100μM) concentrations of NO donors. Changes in the expression of IL-6 correlated with changes in the activity of NF-κB, which increased at lower and decreased at higher concentrations of both NO donors as shown by the electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The effects of NO on NF-κB activity were cGMP-dependent because they were reversed in the presence of ODQ, the inhibitor of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC), and KT5823, the inhibitor of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG). Moreover, the membrane permeable analog of cGMP (8-Br-cGMP) mimicked the effect of the NO donors. These observations show that NO, depending on its concentration, may act in human PBMCs as a stimulator of IL-6 expression involving the sGC/cGMP/PKG pathway.

Abstract
We hypothesized that nitric oxide activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) participates in cutaneous vasodilation during whole body heat stress and local skin warming. We examined the effects of the sGC inhibitor, 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), on reflex skin blood flow responses to whole body heat stress and on nonreflex responses to increased local skin temperature. Blood flow was monitored by laser-Doppler flowmetry, and blood pressure by Finapres to calculate cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC). Intradermal microdialysis was used to treat one site with 1 mM ODQ in 2% DMSO and Ringer, a second site with 2% DMSO in Ringer, and a third site received Ringer. In protocol 1, after a period of normothermia, whole body heat stress was induced. In protocol 2, local heating units warmed local skin temperature from 34 to 41°C to cause local vasodilation. In protocol 1, in normothermia, CVC did not differ among sites [ODQ, 15 ± 3% maximum CVC (CVC(max)); DMSO, 14 ± 3% CVC(max); Ringer, 17 ± 6% CVC(max); P > 0.05]. During heat stress, ODQ attenuated CVC increases (ODQ, 54 ± 4% CVC(max); DMSO, 64 ± 4% CVC(max); Ringer, 63 ± 4% CVC(max); P < 0.05, ODQ vs. DMSO or Ringer). In protocol 2, at 34°C local temperature, CVC did not differ among sites (ODQ, 17 ± 2% CVC(max); DMSO, 18 ± 4% CVC(max); Ringer, 18 ± 3% CVC(max); P > 0.05). ODQ attenuated CVC increases at 41°C local temperature (ODQ, 54 ± 5% CVC(max); DMSO, 86 ± 4% CVC(max); Ringer, 90 ± 2% CVC(max); P < 0.05 ODQ vs. DMSO or Ringer). sGC participates in neurogenic active vasodilation during heat stress and in the local response to direct skin warming.

Abstract
S-nitrosylation (SNO) is a reversible protein modification that has the ability to alter the activity of target proteins. However, only a small number of SNO proteins have been found in the myocardium, and even fewer specific sites of SNO have been identified. Therefore, this study aims to characterize potential SNO sites in the myocardium. We utilized a modified version of the SNO-resin-assisted capture technique in tandem with mass spectrometry. In brief, a modified biotin switch was performed using perfused mouse heart homogenates incubated with or without the S-nitrosylating agent S-nitrosoglutathione. Our modified SNO-resin-assisted capture protocol identified 116 unique SNO-modified proteins under basal conditions, and these represent the constitutive SNO proteome. These constitutive SNO proteins are likely to be physiologically relevant targets, since nitric oxide has been shown to play an important role in the regulation of normal cardiovascular physiology. Following S-nitrosoglutathione treatment, we identified 951 unique SNO proteins, many of which contained multiple SNO sites. These proteins show the potential for SNO. This study provides novel information regarding the constitutive SNO proteome of the myocardium, as well as potential myocardial SNO sites, and yields additional information on the SNO sites for many key proteins involved in myocardial contraction, metabolism, and cellular signaling.

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) release channel (ryanodine receptor, RyR2) has been proposed to be an end target of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) signalling. The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of NOS1 modulation of RyR2 activity and the corresponding effect on myocyte function. Myocytes were isolated from NOS1 knockout (NOS1(/)) and wild-type mice. NOS1(/) myocytes displayed a decreased fractional SR Ca(2+) release, NOS1 knockout also led to reduced RyR2 S-nitrosylation levels. RyR2 channels from NOS1(/) hearts had decreased RyR2 open probability. Additionally, knockout of NOS1 led to a decrease in [(3)H]ryanodine binding, Ca(2+) spark frequency (CaSpF) and a rightward shift in the SR Ca(2+) leak/load relationship. Similar effects were observed with acute inhibition of NOS1. These data are indicative of decreased RyR2 activity in myocytes with NOS1 knockout or acute inhibition. Interestingly, the NO donor and nitrosylating agent SNAP reversed the depressed RyR2 open probability, the reduced CaSpF, and caused a leftward shift in the leak/load relationship in NOS1(/) myocytes. SNAP also normalized Ca(2+) transient and cell shortening amplitudes and SR fractional release in myocytes with NOS1 knockout or acute inhibition. Furthermore, SNAP was able to normalize the RyR2 S-nitrosylation levels. These data suggest that NOS1 signalling increases RyR2 activity via S-nitrosylation, which contributes to the NOS1-induced positive inotropic effect. Thus, RyR2 is an important end target of NOS1.

Abstract
Abstract
TLR ligands induce microparticle release by macrophages and highlight the importance of nitric oxide.
MPs are small membrane-bound particles that originate from activated and dying cells and mediate intercellular communication. Once released from cells, MPs can serve as novel signaling elements in innate immunity, with levels elevated in immune-mediated diseases. This study tested the hypothesis that TLR stimulation can induce MP release by macrophages. In these experiments, using the RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cell line as a model, LPS, a TLR4 ligand, and poly(I:C), a TLR3 ligand, induced MP release effectively, as measured by flow cytometry; in contrast, a CpG oligonucleotide, which can stimulate TLR9, induced much lower levels of particle release. To determine the role of other mediators in this response, the effects of NO were tested. Thus, MP release from RAW 264.7 cells stimulated by LPS or poly(I:C) correlated with NO production, and treatment with the iNOS inhibitor 1400W decreased particle release and NO production. Furthermore, treatment of RAW 264.7 cells with NO donors induced MP production. As TLR ligands can induce apoptosis, the effect of caspase inhibition on MP release by stimulated cells was assessed. These experiments showed that the pan-caspase inhibitor, ZVAD, although decreasing NO production, increased MP release by stimulated cells. Together, these experiments demonstrate that TLR stimulation of macrophages can lead to MP release, and NO plays a key role in this response.

Abstract
We found that both alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) and kainate autoreceptors were present on the glutamate-releasing terminals of cerebellar parallel/climbing fibers and that they functioned as facilitatory autoreceptors. Extracellular cGMP inhibited the neurotransmitter release evoked by presynaptic kainate receptor activation; the inhibitory effect of extracellular cGMP was selective for the kainate autoreceptor-mediated response and did not affect the AMPA autoreceptor-mediated response. Endogenously synthesized cGMP might be the physiological source for the extracellular cGMP modulating the response to kainate autoreceptor activation.

Abstract
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) regulates the functional response to beta-adrenergic (beta-AR) stimulation via modulation of the L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca)). However, the NOS3 signaling pathway modulating I(Ca) is unknown. This study investigated the contribution of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) and phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), a cGMP-specific PDE, in the NOS3-mediated regulation of I(Ca). Myocytes were isolated from NOS3 knockout (NOS3(-/-)) and wildtype (WT) mice. We measured I(Ca) (whole-cell voltage-clamp), and simultaneously measured Ca(2+) transients (Fluo-4 AM) and cell shortening (edge detection). Zaprinast (selective inhibitor of PDE5), decreased beta-AR stimulated (isoproterenol, ISO)-I(Ca), and Ca(2+) transient and cell shortening amplitudes in WT myocytes. However, YC-1 (NO-independent activator of sGC) only reduced ISO-stimulated I(Ca), but not cardiac contraction. We further investigated the NOS3/sGC/PDE5 pathway in NOS3(-/-) myocytes. PDE5 is mislocalized in these myocytes and we observed dissimilar effects of PDE5 inhibition and sGC activation compared to WT. That is, zaprinast had no effect on ISO-stimulated I(Ca), or Ca(2+) transient and cell shortening amplitudes. Conversely, YC-1 significantly decreased both ISO-stimulated I(Ca), and cardiac contraction. Further confirming that PDE5 localizes NOS3/cGMP signaling to I(Ca); YC-1, in the presence of zaprinast, now significantly decreased ISO-stimulated Ca(2+) transient and cell shortening amplitudes in WT myocytes. The effects of YC-1 on I(Ca) and cardiac contraction were blocked by KT5823 (a selective inhibitor of the cGMP-dependent protein kinase, PKG). Our data suggests a novel physiological role for PDE5 in restricting the effects of NOS3/sGC/PKG signaling pathway to modulating beta-AR stimulated I(Ca), while limiting effects on cardiac contraction.

Abstract
Studies have shown that neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS, NOS1) knockout mice (NOS1-/-) have increased or decreased contractility, but consistently have found a slowed rate of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) decline and relengthening. Contraction and [Ca2+]i decline are determined by many factors, one of which is phospholamban (PLB). The purpose of this study is to determine the involvement of PLB in the NOS1-mediated effects. Force-frequency experiments were performed in trabeculae isolated from NOS1-/- and wild-type (WT) mice. We also simultaneously measured Ca2+ transients (Fluo-4) and cell shortening (edge detection) in myocytes isolated from WT, NOS1-/-, and PLB-/- mice. NOS1-/- trabeculae had a blunted force-frequency response and prolonged relaxation. We observed similar effects in myocytes with NOS1 knockout or specific NOS1 inhibition with S-methyl-l-thiocitrulline (SMLT) in WT myocytes (i.e., decreased Ca2+ transient and cell shortening amplitudes and prolonged decline of [Ca2+]i). Alternatively, NOS1 inhibition with SMLT in PLB-/- myocytes had no effect. Acute inhibition of NOS1 with SMLT in WT myocytes also decreased basal PLB serine16 phosphorylation. Furthermore, there was a decreased SR Ca2+ load with NOS1 knockout or inhibition, which is consistent with the negative contractile effects. Perfusion with FeTPPS (peroxynitrite decomposition catalyst) mimicked the effects of NOS1 knockout or inhibition. beta-Adrenergic stimulation restored the slowed [Ca2+]i decline in NOS1-/- myocytes, but a blunted contraction remained, suggesting additional protein target(s). In summary, NOS1 inhibition or knockout leads to decreased contraction and slowed [Ca2+]i decline, and this effect is absent in PLB-/- myocytes. Thus NOS1 signaling modulates PLB serine16 phosphorylation, in part, via peroxynitrite.
