Abstract
In cardiomyocytes, regular activity of the Na,K-ATPase (NKA) and its Na/K pump activity is essential for maintaining ion gradients, excitability, propagation of action potentials, electro-mechanical coupling, trans-membrane Na+ and Ca2+ gradients and, thus, contractility. The activity of NKA is impaired in ischemic heart disease and heart failure, which has been attributed to decreased expression of the NKA subunits. Decreased NKA activity leads to intracellular Na+ and Ca2+ overload, diastolic dysfunction and arrhythmias. One signal likely related to these events is hypoxia, where hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF) play a critical role in the adaptation of cells to low oxygen tension. HIF activity increases in ischemic heart, hypertension, heart failure and cardiac fibrosis; thus, it might contribute to the impaired function of NKA. This review will mainly focus on the regulation of NKA in ischemic heart disease in the context of stressed myocardium and the hypoxia-HIF axis and argue on possible consequences of treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND β3-AR (β3-adrenergic receptor) stimulation improved systolic function in a sheep model of systolic heart failure (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF]). Exploratory findings in patients with New York Heart Association functional class II HFrEF treated with the β3-AR-agonist mirabegron supported this observation. Here, we measured the hemodynamic response to mirabegron in patients with severe HFrEF. METHODS In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial we assigned patients with New York Heart Association functional class III-IV HFrEF, left ventricular ejection fraction <35% and increased NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) levels to receive mirabegron (300 mg daily) or placebo orally for a week, as add on to recommended HF therapy. Invasive hemodynamic measurements during rest and submaximal exercise at baseline, 3 hours after first study dose and repeated after 1 week's treatment were obtained. Predefined parameters for analyses were changes in cardiac- and stroke volume index, pulmonary and systemic vascular resistance, heart rate, and blood pressure. RESULTS We randomized 22 patients (age 66±11 years, 18 men, 16, New York Heart Association functional class III), left ventricular ejection fraction 20±7%, median NT-proBNP 1953 ng/L. No significant changes were seen after 3 hours, but after 1 week, there was a significantly larger increase in cardiac index in the mirabegron group compared with the placebo group (mean difference, 0.41 [CI, 0.07-0.75] L/min/BSA; P=0.039). Pulmonary vascular resistance decreased significantly more in the mirabegron group compared with the placebo group (-1.6 [CI, -0.4 to -2.8] Wood units; P=0.02). No significant differences were seen during exercise. There were no differences in changes in heart rate, systemic vascular resistance, blood pressure, or renal function between groups. Mirabegron was well-tolerated. CONCLUSIONS Oral treatment with the β3-AR-agonist mirabegron for 1 week increased cardiac index and decreased pulmonary vascular resistance in patients with moderate to severe HFrEF. Mirabegron may be useful in patients with worsening or terminal HF. REGISTRATION URL: https://www. CLINICALTRIALS gov; Unique identifier: 2016-002367-34.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormally high cytosolic Na+ concentrations in advanced heart failure impair myocardial contractility. Stimulation of the membrane Na+-K+ pump should lower Na+ concentrations, and the β3 adrenoceptor (β3 AR) mediates pump stimulation in myocytes. We examined if β3 AR-selective agonists given in vivo increase myocyte Na+-K+ pump activity and reverse organ congestion in severe heart failure (HF). METHODS Indices for HF were lung-, heart-, and liver: body weight ratios and ascites after circumflex coronary artery ligation in rabbits. Na+-K+ pump current, Ip, was measured in voltage-clamped myocytes from noninfarct myocardium. Rabbits were treated with the β3 AR agonists CL316,243 or ASP9531, starting 2 weeks after coronary ligation. RESULTS Coronary ligation caused ascites in most rabbits, significantly increased lung-, heart-, and liver: body weight ratios, and decreased Ip relative to that for 10 sham-operated rabbits. Treatment with CL316,243 for 3 days significantly reduced lung-, heart-, and liver: body weight ratios and prevalence of ascites in 8 rabbits with HF relative to indices for 13 untreated rabbits with HF. It also increased Ip significantly to levels of myocytes from sham-operated rabbits. Treatment with ASP9531 for 14 days significantly reduced indices of organ congestion in 6 rabbits with HF relative to indices of 6 untreated rabbits, and it eliminated ascites. β3 AR agonists did not significantly change heart rates or blood pressures. CONCLUSIONS Parallel β3 AR agonists-induced reversal of Na+-K+ pump inhibition and indices of congestion suggest pump inhibition is a useful target for treatment with β3 AR agonists in congestive HF.

Abstract
Local manipulation of complex tissues at the single-cell level is challenging and requires excellent sealing between the specimen and the micromanipulation device. Here, biological applications for a recently developed loading technique for a force- and pressure-controlled fluidic force microscope micropipette are described. This technique allows for the exact positioning and precise spatiotemporal control of liquid delivery. The feasibility of a local loading technique for tissue applications was investigated using two fluorescent dyes, with which local loading behaviour could be optically visualised. Thus, homogeneous intracellular distribution of CellTracker Red and accumulation of SYTO 9 Green within nuclei was realised in single cells of a tissue preparation. Subsequently, physiological micromanipulation experiments were performed. Salivary gland tissue was pre-incubated with the Ca2+-sensitive dye OGB-1. An intracellular Ca2+ rise was then initiated at the single-cell level by applying dopamine via micropipette. When pre-incubating tissue with the nitric oxide (NO)-sensitive dye DAF-FM, NO release and intercellular NO diffusion was observed after local application of the NO donor SNP. Finally, local micromanipulation of a well-defined area along irregularly shaped cell surfaces of complex biosystems was shown for the first time for the fluidic force microscope micropipette. Thus, this technique is a promising tool for the investigation of the spatiotemporal effects of locally applied substances in complex tissues.

Abstract
AIMS The third isotype of beta adrenergic receptors (β3 ARs) has distinctly different effects on cardiomyocytes compared with β1 and β2 ARs. Stimulation of β3 ARs may reduce cardiomyocyte Na+ overload and reduce oxidative stress in heart failure (HF). We examined if treatment with the β3 AR agonist mirabegron increases LVEF in patients with HF. METHODS AND RESULTS In a double-blind trial we randomly assigned 70 patients with NYHA class II-III HF and LVEF <40% at screening-echocardiography to receive mirabegron or placebo for 6 months as add-on to optimized standard therapy. The primary endpoint was an increase in LVEF after 6 months as measured by computed tomography (CT). Changes in LVEF after 6 months between treatment groups were not significantly different (0.4%, -3.5 to 3.8%, P = 0.82). In an exploratory analysis, based on an expectation that the pathophysiological substrate targeted with treatment is dependent on the baseline LVEF, patients with LVEF <40% by CT given mirabegron had a significant increase in LVEF while no increase was seen in patients given placebo. The changes were significantly different between groups (5.5%, 0.6-10.4%, P < 0.03). Additionally, there was interaction between baseline LVEF and change in LVEF in the entire group of patients treated with mirabegron (R2 = 0.40, β = -0.63, P < 0.001), but not in the placebo group (R2 = 0.00, β = -0.01, P = 0.95). Treatment was generally well tolerated. Three patients in each group had fatal or life-threatening events. CONCLUSIONS The primary endpoint was not reached. Exploratory analysis indicated that β3 AR stimulation by mirabegron increased LVEF in patients with severe HF. Treatment appeared safe. Additional studies in severe HF are needed.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle contains one of the largest and the most dynamic pools of Na,K-ATPase (NKA) in the body. Under resting conditions, NKA in skeletal muscle operates at only a fraction of maximal pumping capacity, but it can be markedly activated when demands for ion transport increase, such as during exercise or following food intake. Given the size, capacity, and dynamic range of the NKA pool in skeletal muscle, its tight regulation is essential to maintain whole body homeostasis as well as muscle function. To reconcile functional needs of systemic homeostasis with those of skeletal muscle, NKA is regulated in a coordinated manner by extrinsic stimuli, such as hormones and nerve-derived factors, as well as by local stimuli arising in skeletal muscle fibers, such as contractions and muscle energy status. These stimuli regulate NKA acutely by controlling its enzymatic activity and/or its distribution between the plasma membrane and the intracellular storage compartment. They also regulate NKA chronically by controlling NKA gene expression, thus determining total NKA content in skeletal muscle and its maximal pumping capacity. This review focuses on molecular mechanisms that underlie regulation of NKA in skeletal muscle by major extrinsic and local stimuli. Special emphasis is given to stimuli and mechanisms linking regulation of NKA and energy metabolism in skeletal muscle, such as insulin and the energy-sensing AMP-activated protein kinase. Finally, the recently uncovered roles for glutathionylation, nitric oxide, and extracellular K(+) in the regulation of NKA in skeletal muscle are highlighted.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) at different concentrations may promote or inhibit tumor growth and metastasis under various conditions. To test the hypothesis that tumor cells prefer to adhere to the locations with a higher endothelial NO production in intact microvessels under physiological flows and to further test that inhibiting NO production decreases tumor cell adhesion, we used intravital fluorescence microscopy to measure NO production and tumor cell adhesion in postcapillary venules of rat mesentery under normal and reduced flow conditions, and in the presence of an endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) inhibitor, N(G)-monomethyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA). Rats (SD, 250-300 g) were anesthetized. A midline incision (∼2 inch) was made in the abdominal wall, and the mesentery was taken out from the abdominal cavity and spread over a coverslip for the measurement. An individual postcapillary venule (35-50 μm) was first loaded with 4,5-diaminofluorescein diacetate (DAF-2 DA), a fluorescent indictor for NO. Then the DAF-2 intensity was measured for 30 min under a normal or reduced flow velocity, with and without perfusion with MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, and in the presence of l-NMMA. We found that tumor cells prefer to adhere to the microvessel locations with a higher NO production such as curved portions. Inhibition of eNOS by l-NMMA attenuated the flow-induced NO production and reduced tumor cell adhesion. We also found that l-NMMA treatment for ∼40 min reduced microvessel permeability to albumin. Our results suggest that inhibition of eNOS is a good approach to preventing tumor cell adhesion to intact microvessels under physiological flows.

[PMID: 26472244 DOI: 10.1111/apha.12617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2015] [Revised: 07/23/2015] [Accepted: 10/12/2015] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
AIM It has been suggested that nitric oxide (NO) stimulates the Na,K-ATPase in cardiac myocytes. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate whether NO increases Na,K-ATPase activity in skeletal muscle and, if that is the case, to identify the underlying mechanism. METHOD The study used isolated rat muscle, muscle homogenates and purified membranes as model systems. Na,K-ATPase activity was quantified from phosphate release due to ATP hydrolysis. RESULTS Exposure to the NO donor spermine NONOate (10 μm) increased the maximal Na,K-ATPase activity by 27% in isolated glycolytic muscles, but had no effect in oxidative muscles. Spermine NONOate increased the maximal Na,K-ATPase activity by 58% (P < 0.05) in homogenates from glycolytic muscle, but had no effect in oxidative muscle. The stimulatory effect of NONOate was not related to one specific Na,K-ATPase α-isoform. Incubation with cGMP (1 mm) increased the maximal Na,K-ATPase activity in homogenates from glycolytic muscle by 16% (P < 0.05), but had no effect on homogenates from oxidative muscle. cGMP had no effect on phospholemman phosphorylation at serine 68. Spermine NONOate had no effect in muscle membranes in which the ATPase activity was depressed by oxidized glutathione. CONCLUSION NO and cGMP stimulate the Na,K-ATPase in glycolytic skeletal muscle. Direct S-nitrosylation and interference with S-glutathionylation seem to be excluded. In addition, phosphorylation of phospholemman at serine 68 is not involved. Most likely, the NO/cGMP/protein kinase G signalling pathway is involved.

Nicorandil stimulates a Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchanger by activating guanylate cyclase in guinea pig cardiac myocytes. Pflugers Arch 2015; 468:693-703.

Abstract
Nicorandil, a hybrid of an ATP-sensitive K(+) (KATP) channel opener and a nitrate generator, is used clinically for the treatment of angina pectoris. This agent has been reported to exert antiarrhythmic actions by abolishing both triggered activity and spontaneous automaticity in an in vitro study. It is well known that delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs) are caused by the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange current (I NCX). In this study, we investigated the effect of nicorandil on the cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1). We used the whole-cell patch clamp technique and the Fura-2/AM (Ca(2+) indicator) method to investigate the effect of nicorandil on I NCX in isolated guinea pig ventricular myocytes and CCL39 fibroblast cells transfected with dog heart NCX1. Nicorandil enhanced I NCX in a concentration-dependent manner. The EC50 (half-maximum concentration for enhancement of the drug) values were 15.0 and 8.7 μM for the outward and inward components of I NCX, respectively. 8-Bromoguanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cGMP), a membrane-permeable analog of guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP), enhanced I NCX. 1H-[1,2,4]Oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), a guanylate cyclase inhibitor (10 μM), completely abolished the nicorandil-induced I NCX increase. Nicorandil increased I NCX in CCL39 cells expressing wild-type NCX1 but did not affect mutant NCX1 without a long intracellular loop between transmembrane segments (TMSs) 5 and 6. Nicorandil at 100 μM abolished DADs induced by electrical stimulation with ouabain. Nicorandil enhanced the function of NCX1 via guanylate cyclase and thus may accelerate Ca(2+) exit via NCX1. This may partially contribute to the cardioprotection by nicorandil in addition to shortening action potential duration (APD) by activating KATP channels.

Abstract
Protein kinase C can activate NADPH oxidase and induce glutathionylation of the β1-Na(+)-K(+) pump subunit, inhibiting activity of the catalytic α-subunit. To examine if signaling of nitric oxide-induced soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)/cGMP/protein kinase G can cause Na(+)-K(+) pump stimulation by counteracting PKC/NADPH oxidase-dependent inhibition, cardiac myocytes were exposed to ANG II to activate NADPH oxidase and inhibit Na(+)-K(+) pump current (Ip). Coexposure to 3-(5'-hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzylindazole (YC-1) to stimulate sGC prevented the decrease of Ip. Prevention of the decrease was abolished by inhibition of protein phosphatases (PP) 2A but not by inhibition of PP1, and it was reproduced by an activator of PP2A. Consistent with a reciprocal relationship between β1-Na(+)-K(+) pump subunit glutathionylation and pump activity, YC-1 decreased ANG II-induced β1-subunit glutathionylation. The decrease induced by YC-1 was abolished by a PP2A inhibitor. YC-1 decreased phosphorylation of the cytosolic p47(phox) NADPH oxidase subunit and its coimmunoprecipitation with the membranous p22(phox) subunit, and it decreased O2 (·-)-sensitive dihydroethidium fluorescence of myocytes. Addition of recombinant PP2A to myocyte lysate decreased phosphorylation of p47(phox) indicating the subunit could be a substrate for PP2A. The effects of YC-1 to decrease coimmunoprecipitation of p22(phox) and p47(phox) NADPH oxidase subunits and decrease β1-Na(+)-K(+) pump subunit glutathionylation were reproduced by activation of nitric oxide-dependent receptor signaling. We conclude that sGC activation in cardiac myocytes causes a PP2A-dependent decrease in NADPH oxidase activity and a decrease in β1 pump subunit glutathionylation. This could account for pump stimulation with neurohormonal oxidative stress expected in vivo.

Triggers, inhibitors, mechanisms, and significance of eryptosis: the suicidal erythrocyte death. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 2015:513518. [PMID: 25821808 PMCID: PMC4364016 DOI: 10.1155/2015/513518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 93] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2014] [Revised: 01/12/2015] [Accepted: 01/15/2015] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis is characterized by erythrocyte shrinkage, cell membrane blebbing, and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine translocation to the erythrocyte surface. Triggers of eryptosis include Ca(2+) entry, ceramide formation, stimulation of caspases, calpain activation, energy depletion, oxidative stress, and dysregulation of several kinases. Eryptosis is triggered by a wide variety of xenobiotics. It is inhibited by several xenobiotics and endogenous molecules including NO and erythropoietin. The susceptibility of erythrocytes to eryptosis increases with erythrocyte age. Phosphatidylserine exposing erythrocytes adhere to the vascular wall by binding to endothelial CXC-Motiv-Chemokin-16/Scavenger-receptor for phosphatidylserine and oxidized low density lipoprotein (CXCL16). Phosphatidylserine exposing erythrocytes are further engulfed by phagocytosing cells and are thus rapidly cleared from circulating blood. Eryptosis eliminates infected or defective erythrocytes thus counteracting parasitemia in malaria and preventing detrimental hemolysis of defective cells. Excessive eryptosis, however, may lead to anemia and may interfere with microcirculation. Enhanced eryptosis contributes to the pathophysiology of several clinical disorders including metabolic syndrome and diabetes, malignancy, cardiac and renal insufficiency, hemolytic uremic syndrome, sepsis, mycoplasma infection, malaria, iron deficiency, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, and Wilson's disease. Facilitating or inhibiting eryptosis may be a therapeutic option in those disorders.

Abstract
Eryptosis, the suicidal erythrocyte death characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling, is stimulated by Ca(2+) entry through Ca(2+)-permeable, PGE2-activated cation channels, by ceramide, caspases, calpain, complement, hyperosmotic shock, energy depletion, oxidative stress, and deranged activity of several kinases (e.g. AMPK, GK, PAK2, CK1α, JAK3, PKC, p38-MAPK). Eryptosis is triggered by intoxication, malignancy, hepatic failure, diabetes, chronic renal insufficiency, hemolytic uremic syndrome, dehydration, phosphate depletion, fever, sepsis, mycoplasma infection, malaria, iron deficiency, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, and Wilson's disease. Eryptosis may precede and protect against hemolysis but by the same token result in anemia and deranged microcirculation.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Eryptosis, the suicidal erythrocyte death, is characterized by cell shrinkage, membrane blebbing, and phosphatidylserine translocation to the outer membrane leaflet. Phosphatidylserine at the erythrocyte surface binds endothelial CXCL16/SR-PSOX (CXC-Motiv-Chemokin-16/Scavenger-receptor-for-phosphatidylserine-and-oxidized-low-density-lipoprotein) and fosters engulfment of affected erythrocytes by phagocytosing cells. Eryptosis serves to eliminate infected or defective erythrocytes, but excessive eryptosis may lead to anemia and may interfere with microcirculation. Clinical conditions with excessive eryptosis include diabetes, chronic renal failure, hemolytic uremic syndrome, sepsis, malaria, iron deficiency, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, glutamate cysteine ligase modulator deficiency, and Wilson's disease. RECENT ADVANCES Eryptosis is triggered by a wide variety of xenobiotics and other injuries such as oxidative stress. Signaling of eryptosis includes prostaglandin E₂ formation with subsequent activation of Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels, Ca(2+) entry, activation of Ca(2+)-sensitive K(+) channels, and cell membrane scrambling, as well as phospholipase A2 stimulation with release of platelet-activating factor, sphingomyelinase activation, and ceramide formation. Eryptosis may involve stimulation of caspases and calpain with subsequent degradation of the cytoskeleton. It is regulated by AMP-activated kinase, cGMP-dependent protein kinase, Janus-activated kinase 3, casein kinase 1α, p38 kinase, and p21-activated kinase 2. It is inhibited by erythropoietin, antioxidants, and further small molecules. CRITICAL ISSUES It remains uncertain for most disorders whether eryptosis is rather beneficial because it precedes and thus prevents hemolysis or whether it is harmful because of induction of anemia and impairment of microcirculation. FUTURE DIRECTIONS This will address the significance of eryptosis, further mechanisms underlying eryptosis, and additional pharmacological tools fostering or inhibiting eryptosis.

Oxidative inhibition of the vascular Na+-K+ pump via NADPH oxidase-dependent β1-subunit glutathionylation: implications for angiotensin II-induced vascular dysfunction. Free Radic Biol Med 2013; 65:563-572.

Abstract
Glutathionylation of the Na(+)-K(+) pump's β1-subunit is a key molecular mechanism of physiological and pathophysiological pump inhibition in cardiac myocytes. Its contribution to Na(+)-K(+) pump regulation in other tissues is unknown, and cannot be assumed given the dependence on specific β-subunit isoform expression and receptor-coupled pathways. As Na(+)-K(+) pump activity is an important determinant of vascular tone through effects on [Ca(2+)]i, we have examined the role of oxidative regulation of the Na(+)-K(+) pump in mediating angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced increases in vascular reactivity. β1-subunit glutathione adducts were present at baseline and increased by exposure to Ang II in rabbit aortic rings, primary rabbit aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and human arterial segments. In VSMCs, Ang II-induced glutathionylation was associated with marked reduction in Na(+)-K(+)ATPase activity, an effect that was abolished by the NADPH oxidase inhibitory peptide, tat-gp91ds. In aortic segments, Ang II-induced glutathionylation was associated with decreased K(+)-induced vasorelaxation, a validated index of pump activity. Ang II-induced oxidative inhibition of Na(+)-K(+) ATPase and decrease in K(+)-induced relaxation were reversed by preincubation of VSMCs and rings with recombinant FXYD3 protein that is known to facilitate deglutathionylation of β1-subunit. Knock-out of FXYD1 dramatically decreased K(+)-induced relaxation in a mouse model. Attenuation of Ang II signaling in vivo by captopril (8 mg/kg/day for 7 days) decreased superoxide-sensitive DHE levels in the media of rabbit aorta, decreased β1-subunit glutathionylation, and enhanced K(+)-induced vasorelaxation. Ang II inhibits the Na(+)-K(+) pump in VSMCs via NADPH oxidase-dependent glutathionylation of the pump's β1-subunit, and this newly identified signaling pathway may contribute to altered vascular tone. FXYD proteins reduce oxidative inhibition of the Na(+)-K(+) pump and may have an important protective role in the vasculature under conditions of oxidative stress.

Abstract
By the time it was appreciated that the positive inotropic effect of cardiac glycosides is due to inhibition of the membrane Na(+)-K(+) pump, glycosides had been used for treatment of heart failure on an empiric basis for ~200 years. The subsequent documentation of their lack of clinical efficacy and possible harmful effect largely coincided with the discovery that a raised Na(+) concentration in cardiac myocytes plays an important role in the electromechanical phenotype of heart failure syndromes. Consistent with this, efficacious pharmacological treatments for heart failure have been found to stimulate the Na(+)-K(+) pump, effectively the only export route for intracellular Na(+) in the heart failure. A paradigm has emerged that implicates pump inhibition in the raised Na(+) levels in heart failure. It invokes protein kinase-dependent activation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NADPH oxidase) and glutathionylation, a reversible oxidative modification, of the Na(+)-K(+) pump molecular complex that inhibits its activity. Since treatments of proven efficacy reverse the oxidative Na(+)-K(+) pump inhibition, the pump retains its status as a key pharmacological target in heart failure. Its role as a target is well integrated with the paradigms of neurohormonal abnormalities, raised myocardial oxidative stress and energy deficiency implicated in the pathophysiology of the failing heart. We propose that targeting oxidative inhibition of the pump is useful for the exploration of future treatment strategies. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Na(+)Regulation in Cardiac Myocytes".

Abstract
As the only quantitatively significant Na efflux pathway from cardiac cells, the Na/K ATPase (Na pump) is the primary regulator of intracellular Na. The transmembrane Na gradient it establishes is essential for normal electrical excitability, numerous coupled-transport processes and, as the driving force for Na/Ca exchange, thus setting cardiac Ca load and contractility. As Na influx varies with electrical excitation, heart rate and pathology, the dynamic regulation of Na efflux is essential. It is now widely recognized that phospholemman, a 72 amino acid accessory protein which forms part of the Na pump complex, is the key nexus linking cellular signaling to pump regulation. Phospholemman is the target of a variety of post-translational modifications (including phosphorylation, palmitoylation and glutathionation) and these can dynamically alter the activity of the Na pump. This review summarizes our current understanding of the multiple regulatory mechanisms that converge on phospholemman and govern NA pump activity in the heart. The corrected Fig. 4 is reproduced below. The publisher would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused. [corrected].

Nitric oxide regulates cardiac intracellular Na⁺ and Ca²⁺ by modulating Na/K ATPase via PKCε and phospholemman-dependent mechanism. J Mol Cell Cardiol 2013; 61:164-71.

Abstract
In the heart, Na/K-ATPase regulates intracellular Na+ and Ca2 + (via NCX), thereby preventing Na+ and Ca2 + overload and arrhythmias. Here, we test the hypothesis that nitric oxide (NO) regulates cardiac intracellular Na+ and Ca2 + and investigate mechanisms and physiological consequences involved. Effects of both exogenous NO (via NO-donors) and endogenously synthesized NO (via field-stimulation of ventricular myocytes) were assessed in this study. Field stimulation of rat ventricular myocytes significantly increased endogenous NO (18 ± 2 μM), PKCε activation (82 ± 12%), phospholemman phosphorylation (at Ser-63 and Ser-68) and Na/K-ATPase activity (measured by DAF-FM dye, western-blotting and biochemical assay, respectively; p < 0.05, n = 6) and all were abolished by Ca2 +-chelation (EGTA 10 mM) or NOS inhibition l-NAME (1 mM). Exogenously added NO (spermine-NONO-ate) stimulated Na/K-ATPase (EC50 = 3.8 μM; n = 6/grp), via decrease in Km, in PLMWT but not PLMKO or PLM3SA myocytes (where phospholemman cannot be phosphorylated) as measured by whole-cell perforated-patch clamp. Field-stimulation with l-NAME or PKC-inhibitor (2 μM Bis) resulted in elevated intracellular Na+ (22 ± 1.5 and 24 ± 2 respectively, vs. 14 ± 0.6 mM in controls) in SBFI-AM-loaded rat myocytes. Arrhythmia incidence was significantly increased in rat hearts paced in the presence of l-NAME (and this was reversed by l-arginine), as well as in PLM3SA mouse hearts but not PLMWT and PLMKO. We provide physiological and biochemical evidence for a novel regulatory pathway whereby NO activates Na/K-ATPase via phospholemman phosphorylation and thereby limits Na+ and Ca2 + overload and arrhythmias. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled “Na+ Regulation in Cardiac Myocytes”. We tested whether nitric oxide regulates intracellular Na+ and Ca2 + in the heart. Nitric oxide increased Na/K ATPase activity via PKCε-induced phospholemman phosphorylation. Inhibiting nitric oxide pathway resulted in Na+ and Ca2 + overload and contributed to arrhythmia development in the heart.

Abstract
The widely reported stimulation of the cardiac Na(+)-K(+) pump by protein kinase A (PKA) should oppose other effects of PKA to increase contractility of the normal heart. It should also reduce harmful raised myocyte Na(+) levels in heart failure, yet blockade of the β1 adrenergic receptor (AR), coupled to PKA signalling, is beneficial. We treated rabbits with the β1 AR antagonist metoprolol to modulate PKA activity and studied cardiac myocytes ex vivo. Metoprolol increased electrogenic pump current (Ip) in voltage clamped myocytes and reduced glutathionylation of the β1 pump subunit, an oxidative modification causally related to pump inhibition. Activation of adenylyl cyclase with forskolin to enhance cAMP synthesis or inclusion of the catalytic subunit of PKA in patch pipette solutions abolished the increase in Ip in voltage clamped myocytes induced by treatment with metoprolol, supporting cAMP/PKA-mediated pump inhibition. Metoprolol reduced myocardial PKA and protein kinase C (PKC) activities, reduced coimmunoprecipitation of cytosolic p47(phox) and membranous p22(phox) NADPH oxidase subunits and reduced myocardial O2(•-)-sensitive dihydroethidium fluorescence. Treatment also enhanced coimmunoprecipitation of the β1 pump subunit with glutaredoxin 1 that catalyses de-glutathionylation. Since angiotensin II induces PKC-dependent activation of NADPH oxidase, we examined the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition with captopril. This treatment had no effect on PKA activity but reduced the activity of PKC, reduced β1 subunit glutathionylation and increased Ip. The PKA-induced Na(+)-K(+) pump inhibition we report should act with other mechanisms that enhance contractility of the normal heart but accentuate the harmful effects of raised cytosolic Na(+) in the failing heart. This scheme is consistent with the efficacy of β1 AR blockade in the treatment of heart failure.

Abstract
Phospholemman (PLM) is the founding member of the FXYD family of regulators of ion transport. PLM is a 72-amino acid protein consisting of the signature PFXYD motif in the extracellular N terminus, a single transmembrane (TM) domain, and a C-terminal cytoplasmic tail containing three phosphorylation sites. In the heart, PLM co-localizes and co-immunoprecipitates with Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger, and L-type Ca(2+) channel. The TM domain of PLM interacts with TM9 of the α-subunit of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, while its cytoplasmic tail interacts with two small regions (spanning residues 248-252 and 300-304) of the proximal intracellular loop of Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger. Under stress, catecholamine stimulation phosphorylates PLM at serine(68), resulting in relief of inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase by decreasing K(m) for Na(+) and increasing V(max), and simultaneous inhibition of Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger. Enhanced Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity lowers intracellular Na(+), thereby minimizing Ca(2+) overload and risks of arrhythmias. Inhibition of Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger reduces Ca(2+) efflux, thereby preserving contractility. Thus, the coordinated actions of PLM during stress serve to minimize arrhythmogenesis and maintain inotropy. In acute cardiac ischemia and chronic heart failure, either expression or phosphorylation of PLM or both are altered. PLM regulates important ion transporters in the heart and offers a tempting target for development of drugs to treat heart failure.

Abstract
In cardiac muscle, the sarcolemmal sodium/potassium ATPase is the principal quantitative means of active transport at the myocyte cell surface, and its activity is essential for maintaining the trans-sarcolemmal sodium gradient that drives ion exchange and transport processes that are critical for cardiac function. The 72-residue phosphoprotein phospholemman regulates the sodium pump in the heart: unphosphorylated phospholemman inhibits the pump, and phospholemman phosphorylation increases pump activity. Phospholemman is subject to a remarkable plethora of post-translational modifications for such a small protein: the combination of three phosphorylation sites, two palmitoylation sites, and one glutathionylation site means that phospholemman integrates multiple signaling events to control the cardiac sodium pump. Since misregulation of cytosolic sodium contributes to contractile and metabolic dysfunction during cardiac failure, a complete understanding of the mechanisms that control the cardiac sodium pump is vital. This review explores our current understanding of these mechanisms.

Abstract
Glutathionylation of cysteine 46 of the β1 subunit of the Na(+)-K(+) pump causes pump inhibition. However, the crystal structure, known in a state analogous to an E2·2K(+)·P(i) configuration, indicates that the side chain of cysteine 46 is exposed to the lipid bulk phase of the membrane and not expected to be accessible to the cytosolic glutathione. We have examined whether glutathionylation depends on the conformational changes in the Na(+)-K(+) pump cycle as described by the Albers-Post scheme. We measured β1 subunit glutathionylation and function of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase in membrane fragments and in ventricular myocytes. Signals for glutathionylation in Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase-enriched membrane fragments suspended in solutions that preferentially induce E1ATP and E1Na(3) conformations were much larger than signals in solutions that induce the E2 conformation. Ouabain further reduced glutathionylation in E2 and eliminated an increase seen with exposure to the oxidant peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)). Inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity after exposure to ONOO(-) was greater when the enzyme had been in the E1Na(3) than the E2 conformation. We exposed myocytes to different extracellular K(+) concentrations to vary the membrane potential and hence voltage-dependent conformational poise. K(+) concentrations expected to shift the poise toward E2 species reduced glutathionylation, and ouabain eliminated a ONOO(-)-induced increase. Angiotensin II-induced NADPH oxidase-dependent Na(+)-K(+) pump inhibition was eliminated by conditions expected to shift the poise toward the E2 species. We conclude that susceptibility of the β1 subunit to glutathionylation depends on the conformational poise of the Na(+)-K(+) pump.

Abstract
In addition to inotropic effects, cardiac glycosides exert deleterious effects on the heart which limit their use for cardiac therapeutics. In this study, we determined the possible contribution of ouabain-induced iNOS stimulation to the resultant hypertrophic as well as cytotoxic effects of the glycoside on cultured adult rat ventricular myocytes. Myocytes were treated with ouabain (50 μM) for up to 24 h. Ouabain significantly increased gene and protein levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) which was associated with significantly increased release of NO from myocytes as well as increased total release of reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide anion (O(2) (-)), and increased peroxynitrite formation as assessed by protein tyrosine nitration. Administration of ouabain was also associated with increased levels of myocyte toxicity as determined by myocyte morphology, trypan blue staining and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) efflux. The nonspecific NOS inhibitor Nω-nitro-L: -arginine methyl ester and the more selective iNOS inhibitor 1400W both abrogated the increase in LDH release but had no significant effect on either morphology or trypan blue staining. Ouabain also significantly increased both myocyte surface area and expression of atrial natriuretic peptide indicating a hypertrophic response with both parameters being completely prevented by NOS inhibition. The effects of iNOS inhibitors were associated with diminished ouabain tyrosine nitration as well as abrogation of ouabain-induced p38 and ERK phosphorylation. Our study shows that ouabain is a potent inducer of NO formation, iNOS upregulation, and increased production of ROS. Inhibition of ouabain-dependent peroxynitrite formation may contribute to the antihypertrophic effect of iNOS inhibition possibly by preventing downstream MAPK activation.

Abstract
Reminiscent of phosphorylation, cellular signaling can induce reversible forms of oxidative modification of proteins with an impact on their function. Redox signaling can be coupled to cell membrane receptors for hormones and be a physiologic means of regulating protein function, whereas pathologic increases in oxidative stress may induce disease processes. Here we review the role of reversible oxidative modification of proteins in the regulation of their function with particular emphasis on the cardiac Na(+)-K(+) pump. We describe how protein-kinase-dependent activation of redox signaling, mediated by angiotensin receptors and β adrenergic receptors, induces glutathionylation of an identified cysteine residue in the β(1) subunit of the α/β pump heterodimer; and we discuss how this may link neurohormonal abnormalities, increased oxidative stress, and cardiac myocyte Na(+) dysregulation and heart failure with important implications for treatment.

Abstract
Phospholemman (PLM), a member of the FXYD family of regulators of ion transport, is a major sarcolemmal substrate for protein kinases A and C in cardiac and skeletal muscle. In the heart, PLM co-localizes and co-immunoprecipitates with Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger, and L-type Ca(2+) channel. Functionally, when phosphorylated at serine(68), PLM stimulates Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase but inhibits Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger in cardiac myocytes. In heterologous expression systems, PLM modulates the gating of cardiac L-type Ca(2+) channel. Therefore, PLM occupies a key modulatory role in intracellular Na(+) and Ca(2+) homeostasis and is intimately involved in regulation of excitation-contraction (EC) coupling. Genetic ablation of PLM results in a slight increase in baseline cardiac contractility and prolongation of action potential duration. When hearts are subjected to catecholamine stress, PLM minimizes the risks of arrhythmogenesis by reducing Na(+) overload and simultaneously preserves inotropy by inhibiting Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger. In heart failure, both expression and phosphorylation state of PLM are altered and may partly account for abnormalities in EC coupling. The unique role of PLM in regulation of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger, and potentially L-type Ca(2+) channel in the heart, together with the changes in its expression and phosphorylation in heart failure, make PLM a rational and novel target for development of drugs in our armamentarium against heart failure.

Abstract
The phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitor sildenafil has powerful cardioprotective effects against ischemia-reperfusion injury. PKG-mediated signaling has been implicated in this protection, although the mechanism and the downstream targets of this kinase remain to be fully elucidated. In this study we assessed the role of phospholemman (PLM) phosphorylation, which activates the Na+/K+-ATPase, in cardioprotection afforded by sildenafil administered during reperfusion. Isolated perfused mouse hearts were optimally protected against infarction (indexed by tetrazolium staining) by 0.1 μM sildenafil treatment during the first 10 min of reperfusion. Extended sildenafil treatment (30, 60, or 120 min at reperfusion) did not alter the degree of protection provided. This protection was PKG dependent, since it was blocked by KT-5823. Western blot analysis using phosphospecific antibodies to PLM showed that sildenafil at reperfusion did not modulate PLM Ser63 or Ser68 phosphorylation but significantly increased Ser69 phosphorylation. The treatment of isolated rat ventricular myocytes with sildenafil or 8-bromo-cGMP (PKG agonist) enhanced PLM Ser69 phosphorylation, which was bisindolylmaleimide (PKC inhibitor) sensitive. Patch-clamp studies showed that sildenafil treatment also activated the Na+/K+-ATPase, which is anticipated in light of PLM Ser69 phosphorylation. Na+/K+-ATPase activation during reperfusion would attenuate Na+ overload at this time, providing a molecular explanation of how sildenafil guards against injury at this time. Indeed, using flame photometry and rubidium uptake into isolated mouse hearts, we found that sildenafil enhanced Na+/K+-ATPase activity during reperfusion. In this study we provide a molecular explanation of how sildenafil guards against myocardial injury during postischemic reperfusion.

Abstract
Cellular signaling can inhibit the membrane Na(+)-K(+) pump via protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent activation of NADPH oxidase and a downstream oxidative modification, glutathionylation, of the beta(1) subunit of the pump alpha/beta heterodimer. It is firmly established that cAMP-dependent signaling also regulates the pump, and we have now examined the hypothesis that such regulation can be mediated by glutathionylation. Exposure of rabbit cardiac myocytes to the adenylyl cyclase activator forskolin increased the co-immunoprecipitation of NADPH oxidase subunits p47(phox) and p22(phox), required for its activation, and increased superoxide-sensitive fluorescence. Forskolin also increased glutathionylation of the Na(+)-K(+) pump beta(1) subunit and decreased its co-immunoprecipitation with the alpha(1) subunit, findings similar to those already established for PKC-dependent signaling. The decrease in co-immunoprecipitation indicates a decrease in the alpha(1)/beta(1) subunit interaction known to be critical for pump function. In agreement with this, forskolin decreased ouabain-sensitive electrogenic Na(+)-K(+) pump current (arising from the 3:2 Na(+):K(+) exchange ratio) of voltage-clamped, internally perfused myocytes. The decrease was abolished by the inclusion of superoxide dismutase, the inhibitory peptide for the epsilon-isoform of PKC or inhibitory peptide for NADPH oxidase in patch pipette solutions that perfuse the intracellular compartment. Pump inhibition was also abolished by inhibitors of protein kinase A and phospholipase C. We conclude that cAMP- and PKC-dependent inhibition of the cardiac Na(+)-K(+) pump occurs via a shared downstream oxidative signaling pathway involving NADPH oxidase activation and glutathionylation of the pump beta(1) subunit.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important regulator of Na(+) reabsorption by pulmonary epithelial cells and therefore of alveolar fluid clearance. The mechanisms by which NO affects epithelial ion transport are poorly understood and vary from model to model. In this study, the effects of NO on sodium reabsorption by H441 cell monolayers were studied in an Ussing chamber. Two NO donors, (Z)-1-[N-(3-aminopropyl)-N-(n-propyl)amino]diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate and diethylammonium (Z)-1-(N,N-diethylamino)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate, rapidly, reversibly, and dose-dependently reduced amiloride-sensitive, short-circuit currents across H441 cell monolayers. This effect was neutralized by the NO scavenger hemoglobin and was not observed with inactive NO donors. The effects of NO were not blocked by 8-bromoguanosine-3',5'-cyclic monophosphate or by soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitors (methylene blue and 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one) and were therefore independent of soluble guanylate cyclase signaling. NO targeted apical, highly selective, amiloride-sensitive Na(+) channels in basolaterally permeabilized H441 cell monolayers. NO had no effect on the activity of the human epithelial sodium channel heterologously expressed in Xenopus oocytes. NO decreased Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity in apically permeabilized H441 cell monolayers. The inhibition of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity by NO was reversed by mercury and was mimicked by N-ethylmaleimide, which are agents that reverse and mimic, respectively, the reaction of NO with thiol groups. Consistent with these data, S-NO groups were detected on the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase α subunit in response to NO-donor application, using a biotin-switch approach coupled to a Western blot. These data demonstrate that, in the H441 cell model, NO impairs Na(+) reabsorption by interfering with the activity of highly selective Na(+) channels and the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
The sarcolemmal Na+-K+ pump, pivotal in cardiac myocyte function, is inhibited by angiotensin II (ANG II). Since ANG II activates NADPH oxidase, we tested the hypothesis that NADPH oxidase mediates the pump inhibition. Exposure to 100 nmol/l ANG II increased superoxide-sensitive fluorescence of isolated rabbit ventricular myocytes. The increase was abolished by pegylated superoxide dismutase (SOD), by the NADPH oxidase inhibitor apocynin, and by myristolated inhibitory peptide to ε-protein kinase C (εPKC), previously implicated in ANG II-induced Na+-K+ pump inhibition. A role for εPKC was also supported by an ANG II-induced increase in coimmunoprecipitation of εPKC with the receptor for the activated kinase and with the cytosolic p47 phox subunit of NADPH oxidase. ANG II decreased electrogenic Na+-K+ pump current in voltage-clamped myocytes. The decrease was abolished by SOD, by the gp91ds inhibitory peptide that blocks assembly and activation of NADPH oxidase, and by εPKC inhibitory peptide. Since colocalization should facilitate NADPH oxidase-dependent regulation of the Na+-K+ pump, we examined whether there is physical association between the pump subunits and NADPH oxidase. The α1-subunit coimmunoprecipitated with caveolin 3 and with membrane-associated p22 phox and cytosolic p47 phox NADPH oxidase subunits at baseline. ANG II had no effect on α1/caveolin 3 or α1/p22 phox interaction, but it increased α1/p47 phox coimmunoprecipitation. We conclude that ANG II inhibits the Na+-K+ pump via PKC-dependent NADPH oxidase activation.

Abstract
Phospholemman (PLM) is a member of the FXYD ('fix-it') family of proteins many of which have now been identified as tissue-specific regulators of the Na/K ATPase. PLM (FXYD1) is the primary sarcolemmal substrate for PKC and PKA in the heart. We have recently identified PLM as a novel accessory protein that forms part of the cardiac Na/K ATPase pump complex. PLM regulates Na/K pump activity in a way analogous to the regulation of SERCA by phospholamban-that is un-phosphorylated PLM exerts a tonic inhibition on the Na/K pump, while phosphorylated PLM relieves this inhibition and stimulates pump activity. This process is likely to be fundamentally important in the normal physiological regulation of the cell particularly at high heart rates and, as briefly reviewed in this article, is also likely to offer novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of diseases such as cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides (NPs) and their receptors (NPRs) are expressed in the heart, but their effects on myocyte function are poorly understood. Because NPRs are coupled to synthesis of cGMP, an activator of the sarcolemmal Na+-K+ pump, we examined whether atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) regulates the pump. We voltage clamped rabbit ventricular myocytes and identified electrogenic Na+-K+ pump current (arising from the 3:2 Na+:K+ exchange and normalized for membrane capacitance) as the shift in membrane current induced by 100 μmol/l ouabain. Ten nanomoles per liter ANP stimulated the Na+-K+ pump when the intracellular compartment was perfused with pipette solutions containing 10 mmol/l Na+ but had no effect when the pump was at near maximal activation with 80 mmol/l Na+ in the pipette solution. Stimulation was abolished by inhibition of cGMP-activated protein kinase with KT-5823, nitric oxide (NO)-activated guanylyl cyclase with 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazole[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), or NO synthase with NG-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME). Since synthesis of cGMP by NPR-A and NPR-B is not NO dependent or ODQ sensitive, we exposed myocytes to AP-811, a highly selective ligand for the NPR-C “clearance” receptor. It abolished ANP-induced pump stimulation. Conversely, the selective NPR-C agonist ANP(4-23) reproduced stimulation. The stimulation was blocked by l-NAME. To examine NO production in response to ANP(4-23), we loaded myocytes with the NO-sensitive fluorescent dye diacetylated diaminofluorescein-2 and examined them by confocal microscopy. ANP(4-23) induced a significant increase in fluorescence, which was abolished by l-NAME. We conclude that NPs stimulate the Na+-K+ pump via an NPR-C and NO-dependent pathway.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is known to counteract apoptosis by S-nitrosylation of protein thiol groups. NO is generated and stored in erythrocytes, which may undergo eryptosis, a suicidal cell death similar to apoptosis of nucleated cells. Eryptosis is triggered by increased cytosolic Ca2+ activity and/or ceramide and characterized by cell shrinkage and phosphatidylserine exposure at the cell surface. The present study explored whether nitric oxide could interfere with the machinery underlying eryptosis. To this end, erythrocyte phosphatidylserine exposure (annexin V-binding) and cell volume (forward scatter) were determined by flow cytometry. The Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin (0.1 microM) increased cytosolic Ca2+ activity, triggered annexin binding, and decreased forward scatter. The annexin binding and decrease of forward scatter but not the increase of cytosolic Ca2+ activity were reversed by the NO-donor nitroprusside (1 microM) and papanonoate (100 microM). Higher concentrations of nitroprusside (0.1 and 1 mM) stimulated eryptosis. Glucose depletion, exposure to C6-ceramide (3 microM), hypertonic (addition of 550 mM sucrose), and isotonic (replacement of Cl- with gluconate) cell shrinkage all triggered annexin V binding, effects all reversed by nitroprusside (1 microM). Dibutyryl-cGMP (1 mM) blunted the ionomycin- but not the ceramide-induced annexin V binding. Ionomycin decreased protein nitrosylation and thioredoxin activity, effects reversed by the NO-donor papanonoate. Clearance of erythrocytes from circulating blood was significantly faster in eNOS knockout mice than in their wild-type littermates. In conclusion, nitric oxide participates in the regulation of erythrocyte survival, an effect partially mimicked by cGMP and paralleled by alterations of protein nitrosylation and thioredoxin activity.

Abstract
Pharmacological delivery of nitric oxide (NO) stimulates the cardiac Na(+)-K(+) pump. However, effects of NO synthesized by NO synthase (NOS) often differ from the effects of NO delivered pharmacologically. In addition, NOS can become "uncoupled" and preferentially synthesize O(2)(.-), which often has opposing effects to NO. We tested the hypothesis that NOS-synthesized NO stimulates Na(+)-K(+) pump activity, and uncoupling of NOS inhibits it. To image NO, we loaded isolated rabbit cardiac myocytes with 4,5-diaminofluorescein-2 diacetate (DAF-2 DA) and measured fluorescence with confocal microscopy. L-arginine (L-arg; 500 micromol/l) increased DAF-2 DA fluorescence by 51% compared with control (n = 8; P < 0.05). We used the whole cell patch-clamp technique to measure electrogenic Na(+)-K(+) pump current (I(p)). Mean I(p) of 0.35 +/- 0.03 pA/pF (n = 44) was increased to 0.48 +/- 0.03 pA/pF (n = 7, P < 0.05) by 10 micromol/l L-Arg in pipette solutions. This increase was abolished by NOS inhibition with radicicol or by NO-activated guanylyl cyclase inhibition with 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazole[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one. We next examined the effect of uncoupling NOS using paraquat. Paraquat (1 mmol/l) induced a 51% increase in the fluorescence intensity of O(2)(.-)-sensitive dye dihydroethidium compared with control (n = 9; P < 0.05). To examine the functional effects of uncoupling, we measured I(p) with 100 micromol/l paraquat included in patch pipette solutions. This decreased I(p) to 0.28 +/- 0.03 pA/pF (n = 12; P < 0.001). The paraquat-induced pump inhibition was abolished by superoxide dismutase (in pipette solutions). We conclude that NOS-mediated NO synthesis stimulates the Na(+)-K(+) pump, whereas uncoupling of NOS causes O(2)(.-)-mediated pump inhibition.

Abstract
Learning and memory are critically dependent on basal forebrain cholinergic (BFC) neuron excitability, which is modulated profoundly by leak K(+) channels. Many neuromodulators closing leak K(+) channels have been reported, whereas their endogenous opener remained unknown. We here demonstrate that nitric oxide (NO) can be the endogenous opener of leak K(+) channels in the presumed BFC neurons. Bath application of 1 mM S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), an NO donor, induced a long-lasting hyperpolarization, which was often interrupted by a transient depolarization. Soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitors prevented SNAP from inducing hyperpolarization but allowed SNAP to cause depolarization, whereas bath application of 0.2 mM 8-bromoguanosine-3',5'-cyclomonophosphate (8-Br-cGMP) induced a similar long-lasting hyperpolarization alone. These observations indicate that the SNAP-induced hyperpolarization and depolarization are mediated by the cGMP-dependent and -independent processes, respectively. When examined with the ramp command pulse applied at -70 mV under the voltage-clamp condition, 8-Br-cGMP application induced the outward current that reversed at K(+) equilibrium potential (E(K)) and displayed Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz rectification, indicating the involvement of voltage-independent K(+) current. By contrast, SNAP application in the presumed BFC neurons either dialyzed with the GTP-free internal solution or in the presence of 10 muM Rp-8-bromo-beta-phenyl-1,N(2)-ethenoguanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate sodium salt, a protein kinase G (PKG) inhibitor, induced the inward current that reversed at potentials much more negative than E(K) and close to the reversal potential of Na(+)-K(+) pump current. These observations strongly suggest that NO activates leak K(+) channels through cGMP-PKG-dependent pathway to markedly decrease the excitability in BFC neurons, while NO simultaneously causes depolarization by the inhibition of Na(+)-K(+) pump through ATP depletion.

Abstract
We have previously shown that direct vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) reduces the slope of action potential duration (APD) restitution while simultaneously protecting the heart against induction of ventricular fibrillation (VF) in the absence of any sympathetic activity or tone. In the current study we have examined the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the effect of VNS. Monophasic action potentials were recorded from a left ventricular epicardial site on innervated, isolated rabbit hearts (n = 7). Standard restitution, effective refractory period (ERP) and VF threshold (VFT) were measured at baseline and during VNS in the presence of the NO synthase inhibitor N(G)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NA, 200 microm) and during reversing NO blockade with L-arginine (L-Arg, 1 mm). Data represent the mean +/- S.E.M. The restitution curve was shifted upwards and became less steep with VNS when compared to baseline. L-NA blocked the effect of VNS whereas L-Arg restored the effect of VNS. The maximum slope of restitution was reduced from 1.17 +/- 0.14 to 0.60 +/- 0.09 (50 +/- 5%, P < 0.0001) during control, from 0.98 +/- 0.14 to 0.93 +/- 0.12 (2 +/- 10%, P = NS) in the presence of L-NA and from 1.16 +/- 0.17 to 0.50 +/- 0.10 (41 +/- 9%, P = 0.003) with L-Arg plus L-NA. ERP was increased by VNS in control from 119 +/- 6 ms to 130 +/- 6 ms (10 +/- 5%, P = 0.045) and this increase was not affected by L-NA (120 +/- 4 to 133 +/- 4 ms, 11 +/- 3%, P = 0.0019) or L-Arg with L-NA (114 +/- 4 to 123 +/- 4 ms, 8 +/- 2%, P = 0.006). VFT was increased from 3.0 +/- 0.3 to 5.8 +/- 0.5 mA (98 +/- 12%, P = 0.0017) in control, 3.4 +/- 0.4 to 3.8 +/- 0.5 mA (13 +/- 12%, P = 0.6) during perfusion with L-NA and 2.5 +/- 0.4 to 6.0 +/- 0.7 mA (175 +/- 50%, P = 0.0017) during perfusion with L-Arg plus L-NA. Direct VNS increased VFT and flattened the slope of APD restitution curve in this isolated rabbit heart preparation with intact autonomic nerves. These effects were blocked using L-NA and reversed by replenishing the substrate for NO production with L-Arg. This is the first study to demonstrate that NO plays an important role in the anti-fibrillatory effect of VNS on the rabbit ventricle, possibly via effects on APD restitution.

Abstract
NaCl loading and plasma volume expansion stimulate 2 natriuretic systems, vasoconstrictor, digitalis-like Na/K-ATPase inhibitors and vasorelaxant ANP peptides. Several hormones, including ANP, regulate activity of the Na/K-ATPase by modulation of its phosphorylation state. We studied effects of ANP on Na/K-ATPase phosphorylation and inhibition by an endogenous sodium pump ligand, marinobufagenin, in the aorta and renal medulla from male Sprague-Dawley rats. Marinobufagenin dose-dependently inhibited the Na/K-ATPase in renal and vascular membranes at the level of higher (nanomolar) and lower affinity (micromolar) binding sites. Marinobufagenin (1 nmol/L) inhibited Na/K-ATPase in aortic sarcolemma (18%) and in renal medulla (19%). prepro-ANP 104 to 123 (ppANP) and alpha-human ANP ([alpha-hANP] both 1 nmol/L) potentiated marinobufagenin-induced Na/K-ATPase inhibition in the kidney, but reversed the effect of marinobufagenin in the aorta. Similarly, ppANP and alpha-hANP modulated the sodium pump (ouabain-sensitive (86)Rb uptake) inhibitory effects of marinobufagenin in the aorta and renal medulla. In renal medulla, ppANP and alpha-hANP induced alpha-1 Na/K-ATPase phosphorylation, whereas in aorta, both peptides dephosphorylated Na/K-ATPase. The effect of ppANP on Na/K-ATPase phosphorylation and inhibition was mimicked by a protein kinase G activator, 8-Br-PET-cGMP (10 micromol/L), and prevented by a protein kinase G inhibitor, KT5823 (60 nmol/L). Our results suggest that alpha-1 Na/K-ATPase inhibition by marinobufagenin in the kidney is enhanced via Na/K-ATPase phosphorylation by ANP, whereas in the aorta, ANP exerts an opposite effect. The concurrent production of a vasorelaxant, ANP, and a vasoconstrictor, marinobufagenin, potentiate each other's natriuretic effects, but ANP peptides may offset the deleterious vasoconstrictor effect of marinobufagenin.

Abstract
The effect of diabetes on sarcolemmal Na(+)-K(+) pump function is important for our understanding of heart disease associated with diabetes and design of its treatment. We induced diabetes characterized by hyperglycemia but no other major metabolic disturbances in rabbits. Ventricular myocytes isolated from diabetic rabbits and controls were voltage clamped and internally perfused with the whole cell patch-clamp technique. Electrogenic Na(+)-K(+) pump current (I(p), arising from the 3:2 Na(+)-to-K(+) exchange ratio) was identified as the shift in holding current induced by Na(+)-K(+) pump blockade with 100 micromol/l ouabain in most experiments. There was no effect of diabetes on I(p) recorded when myocytes were perfused with pipette solutions containing 80 mmol/l Na(+) to nearly saturate intracellular Na(+)-K(+) pump sites. However, diabetes was associated with a significant decrease in I(p) measured when pipette solutions contained 10 mmol/l Na(+). The decrease was independent of membrane voltage but dependent on the intracellular concentration of K(+). There was no effect of diabetes on the sensitivity of I(p) to extracellular K(+). Pump inhibition was abolished by restoration of euglycemia or by in vivo angiotensin II receptor blockade with losartan. We conclude that diabetes induces sarcolemmal Na(+)-K(+) pump inhibition that can be reversed with pharmacological intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In cardiac muscle, BRL 37344, a selective beta3-adrenoceptor agonist, activates the Na+, K+ -pump via NO signalling. This study investigated whether BRL 37344 also activates the Na+, K+ -pump via beta3-adrenoceptors in skeletal muscle. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Isolated rat soleus muscles were incubated between 1 and 60 min in buffer. Intracellular Na+, K+ content and Na+, K+ -pump activity were measured using flame photometry and ouabain-suppressible 86Rb+ uptake, respectively. Additional muscles were mounted on force transducers and stimulated (60 Hz for 2 s) every 10 min. KEY RESULTS BRL 37344 (10(-8) -10(-5) M) induced a concentration- and time-dependent reduction in intracellular Na+, and increased ouabain-suppressible 86Rb+ uptake by up to 112%. BRL 37344-induced reductions in intracellular Na+ were blocked by the beta1/beta2-adrenoceptor antagonist, nadolol (10(-7) M), and the beta2-adrenoceptor antagonist, ICI 118,551 (10(-7) -10(-5) M), but not by beta3- or beta1-adrenoceptor antagonists, SR 59230A (10(-7) M) and CGP 20712A (10(-7) -10(-5) M), respectively. Another beta3-adrenoceptor agonist, CL 316,243, did not alter intracellular Na+. BRL 37344-induced reductions in intracellular Na+ were not blocked by L-NAME, an NOS inhibitor, or ODQ, a guanylyl cyclase inhibitor. The NO donors, SNP and SNAP, did not alter intracellular Na+. BRL 37344 rapidly recovered force in muscles depressed by high [K+]o, an effect that was blocked by nadolol, but not L-NAME. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS In rat soleus muscle, the beta3-adrenoceptor agonist BRL 37344 stimulated the Na+, K+ -pump via beta2-adrenoceptors. A more selective beta3-adrenoceptor agonist did not affect Na+, K+ homeostasis in skeletal muscle. NO did not seem to mediate Na+, K+ -pump stimulation in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been linked with both depressed Na(+),K(+)-pump activity and skeletal muscle fatigue. This study investigated N-acetylcysteine (NAC) effects on muscle Na(+),K(+)-pump activity and potassium (K(+)) regulation during prolonged, submaximal endurance exercise. Eight well-trained subjects participated in a double-blind, randomised, crossover design, receiving either NAC or saline (CON) intravenous infusion at 125 mg kg(-1) h(-1) for 15 min, then 25 mg kg(-1) h(-1) for 20 min prior to and throughout exercise. Subjects cycled for 45 min at 71% , then continued at 92% until fatigue. Vastus lateralis muscle biopsies were taken before exercise, at 45 min and fatigue and analysed for maximal in vitro Na(+),K(+)-pump activity (K(+)-stimulated 3-O-methyfluorescein phosphatase; 3-O-MFPase). Arterialized venous blood was sampled throughout exercise and analysed for plasma K(+) and other electrolytes. Time to fatigue at 92% was reproducible in preliminary trials (c.v. 5.6 +/- 0.6%) and was prolonged with NAC by 23.8 +/- 8.3% (NAC 6.3 +/- 0.5 versus CON 5.2 +/- 0.6 min, P < 0.05). Maximal 3-O-MFPase activity decreased from rest by 21.6 +/- 2.8% at 45 min and by 23.9 +/- 2.3% at fatigue (P < 0.05). NAC attenuated the percentage decline in maximal 3-O-MFPase activity (%Deltaactivity) at 45 min (P < 0.05) but not at fatigue. When expressed relative to work done, the %Deltaactivity-to-work ratio was attenuated by NAC at 45 min and fatigue (P < 0.005). The rise in plasma [K(+)] during exercise and the Delta[K(+)]-to-work ratio at fatigue were attenuated by NAC (P < 0.05). These results confirm that the antioxidant NAC attenuates muscle fatigue, in part via improved K(+) regulation, and point to a role for ROS in muscle fatigue.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a pleiotropic signalling molecule that subserves a wide variety of basic cellular functions and also manifests itself pathophysiologically. As regards cancer and its progression, however, the reported role of NO appears surprisingly inconsistent. In this review, we focus on metastasis, the process of cancer cell spread and secondary tumour formation. In a 'reductionist' approach, we consider the metastatic cascade to be made up of a series of basic cellular behaviours (such as proliferation, apoptosis, adhesion, secretion migration, invasion and angiogenesis). We evaluate how NO controls such behaviours, in comparison with normal cells. The available information suggests strongly that NO signalling would be expected to regulate these behaviours both positively and negatively and this probably leads to the observed apparent variability in the NO status of cancer cells and tissues. Thus, the role of NO in cancer is more complex than previously thought. A number of suggestions are made, including consideration of novel mechanisms, such as ion channels, in order to achieve a more consistent and integrated understanding of NO signalling in cancer and to realise its clinical potential.

Abstract
Nitric oxide is associated with neurofibrillary tangle, which is composed mainly of hyperphosphorylated tau in the brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the role of nitric oxide in tau hyperphosphorylation is unclear. Here we show that nitric oxide produced by sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a recognized donor of nitric oxide, induces tau hyperphosphorylation at Ser396/404 and Ser262 in HEK293/tau441 cells with a simultaneous activation of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta). Pretreatment of the cells with 10 mM lithium chloride (LiCl), an inhibitor of GSK-3, 1 h before SNP administration inhibits GSK-3beta activation and prevents tau from hyperphosphorylation. This is the first direct evidence demonstrating that nitric oxide induces AD-like tau hyperphosphorylation in vitro, and GSK-3beta activation is partially responsible for the nitric oxide-induced tau hyperphosphorylation. It is suggested that nitric oxide may be an upstream element of tau abnormal hyperphosphorylation in AD.
