Impact of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide on emergency dialysis and prognosis in end-stage renal disease patients with type 4 cardiorenal syndrome. Sci Rep 2023; 13:20752. [PMID: 38007545 PMCID: PMC10676370 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-48125-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) effects on type 4 cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) and adverse events such as heart failure rehospitalization and all-cause mortality have not been assessed in large-scale research. This study evaluated the impact of rhBNP on emergency dialysis and prognosis in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with type 4 CRS, and the risk factors of emergency dialysis. This retrospective cohort study included patients with type 4 CRS and ESRD admitted for decompensated heart failure between January 2016 and December 2021. Patients were divided into the rhBNP and non-rhBNP cohorts, according to whether they were prescribed rhBNP. The primary outcomes were emergency dialysis at first admission and cardiovascular events within a month after discharge. A total of 77 patients were included in the rhBNP cohort (49 males and 28 females, median age 67) and 79 in the non-rhBNP cohort (47 males and 32 females, median age 68). After adjusting for age, residual renal function, and primary diseases, Cox regression analysis showed that rhBNP was associated with emergency dialysis (HR = 0.633, 95% CI 0.420-0.953) and cardiovascular events (HR = 0.410, 95% CI 0.159-0.958). In addition, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (OR = 0.782, 95% CI 0.667-0.917, P = 0.002) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels (OR = 1.788, 95% CI 1.193-2.680, P = 0.005) at the first visit were independent risk factors for emergency dialysis while using rhBNP was a protective factor for emergency dialysis (OR = 0.195, 95% CI 0.084-0.451, P < 0.001). This study suggests that RhBNP can improve cardiac function and reduce the occurrence of emergency dialysis and cardiovascular events in ESRD patients with type 4 CRS.

Harris MP, Zeng S, Zhu Z, Lira VA, Yu L, Hodgson-Zingman DM, Zingman LV. Myokine Musclin Is Critical for Exercise-Induced Cardiac Conditioning. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:6525. [PMID: 37047496 PMCID: PMC10095193 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24076525] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
This study investigates the role and mechanisms by which the myokine musclin promotes exercise-induced cardiac conditioning. Exercise is one of the most powerful triggers of cardiac conditioning with proven benefits for healthy and diseased hearts. There is an emerging understanding that muscles produce and secrete myokines, which mediate local and systemic "crosstalk" to promote exercise tolerance and overall health, including cardiac conditioning. The myokine musclin, highly conserved across animal species, has been shown to be upregulated in response to physical activity. However, musclin effects on exercise-induced cardiac conditioning are not established. Following completion of a treadmill exercise protocol, wild type (WT) mice and mice with disruption of the musclin-encoding gene, Ostn, had their hearts extracted and exposed to an ex vivo ischemia-reperfusion protocol or biochemical studies. Disruption of musclin signaling abolished the ability of exercise to mitigate cardiac ischemic injury. This impaired cardioprotection was associated with reduced mitochondrial content and function linked to blunted cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling. Genetic deletion of musclin reduced the nuclear abundance of protein kinase G (PKGI) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) response element binding (CREB), resulting in suppression of the master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC1α), and its downstream targets in response to physical activity. Synthetic musclin peptide pharmacokinetic parameters were defined and used to calculate the infusion rate necessary to maintain its plasma level comparable to that observed after exercise. This infusion was found to reproduce the cardioprotective benefits of exercise in sedentary WT and Ostn-KO mice. Musclin is essential for exercise-induced cardiac protection. Boosting musclin signaling might serve as a novel therapeutic strategy for cardioprotection.

Effects of Recombinant Human Brain Natriuretic Peptide on Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 2023; 81:63-69. [PMID: 36084021 DOI: 10.1097/fjc.0000000000001370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
ABSTRACT Previous studies reported that the use of natriuretic peptides (NPs) can effectively decrease arrhythmias. However, there is a lack of clinical evidence that recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rh-BNP) inhibits postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). This cohort aims to assess the effect of rh-BNP on POAF. This study retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting from January 2018 to January 2021. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether they received rh-BNP therapy within 5 days after surgery. A total of 1153 patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, of which 54 received rh-BNP therapy within 5 days. After propensity score matching, 53 patients were treated with rh-BNP, and 148 patients were not treated with rh-BNP. The incidence of POAF was lower in rh-BNP group than non-rh-BNP group (18.9% vs. 37.2%, odds ratio = 0.393, 95% confidence interval, 0.183-0.845, P = 0.017). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmia ( P = 0.4), hypotension ( P = 0.763), and the risk of death ( P = 0.14). rh-BNP could significantly reduce the occurrence of POAF after coronary artery bypass grafting, and rh-BNP did not increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmia, hypotension, and death. Accordingly, rh-BNP could be a potential safe medicine for preventing POAF.

Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitor (ARNI) and Cardiac Arrhythmias. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22168994.

Abstract
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a major role in cardiovascular health and disease. Short-term RAAS activation controls water and salt retention and causes vasoconstriction, which are beneficial for maintaining cardiac output in low blood pressure and early stage heart failure. However, prolonged RAAS activation is detrimental, leading to structural remodeling and cardiac dysfunction. Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are activated to counterbalance the effect of RAAS and sympathetic nervous system by facilitating water and salt excretion and causing vasodilation. Neprilysin is a major NP-degrading enzyme that degrades multiple vaso-modulatory substances. Although the inhibition of neprilysin alone is not sufficient to counterbalance RAAS activation in cardiovascular diseases (e.g., hypertension and heart failure), a combination of angiotensin receptor blocker and neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) was highly effective in several clinical trials and may modulate the risk of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. This review summarizes the possible link between ARNI and cardiac arrhythmias and discusses potential underlying mechanisms, providing novel insights about the therapeutic role and safety profile of ARNI in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Objective This meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of nesiritide in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and heart failure. Methods PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from inception through December 2018. Studies including patients with AMI and heart failure who received nesiritide were identified. Results Ten trials involving 870 participants were included in this meta-analysis. Nesiritide treatment significantly increased left ventricular ejection fraction, cardiac index, and 24- and 72-hour urine volumes. Additionally, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, right atrial pressure, and brain natriuretic peptide and N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide levels were significantly decreased in patients treated with nesiritide compared with those treated with control drugs. However, patients treated with nesiritide did not have an increased risk of mortality compared with those treated with control drugs. There were no differences between the two groups with respect to heart rate or the risk of readmission, hypotension, or renal dysfunction. Conclusions Nesiritide appears to be safe for patients with AMI and heart failure, and it improves global cardiac and systemic function.

Abstract
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) exhibits roles in natriuresis and diuresis, making it an ideal drug that may aid in diuresing a fluid-overloaded patient with poor or worsening renal function. Several randomized clinical trials have tested the hypothesis that infusions of pharmacological doses of BNP to acute heart failure (HF) patients may enhance decongestion and preserve renal function in this clinical setting. Unfortunately, none of these have demonstrated beneficial outcomes. The current challenge for BNP research in acute HF lies in addressing a failure of concept and a reluctance to abandon an ineffective research model. Future success will necessitate a detailed understanding of the mechanism of action of BNP, as well as better integration of basic and clinical science.

Abstract
AIMS Management of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) requires disparate treatments depending on the state of systemic/peripheral perfusion and the presence/absence of expanded body-fluid volumes. There is an unmet need for therapeutics that differentially treat each aspect. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) plays an important role in blood pressure and volume regulation. We investigate for the first time the integrated haemodynamic, endocrine and renal effects of human ANP analogues, modified for exclusive vasodilatory (ANP-DRD) or diuretic (ANP-DGD) activities, in normal health and experimental ADHF. METHODS AND RESULTS We compared the effects of incremental infusions of ANP analogues ANP-DRD and ANP-DGD with native ANP, in normal (n = 8) and ADHF (n = 8) sheep. ANP-DRD administration increased plasma cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in association with dose-dependent reductions in arterial pressure in normal and heart failure (HF) sheep similarly to ANP responses. In contrast to ANP, which in HF produced a diuresis/natriuresis, this analogue was without significant renal effect. Conversely, ANP-DGD induced marked stepwise increases in urinary cGMP, urine volume, and sodium excretion in HF comparable to ANP, but without accompanying vasodilatory effects. All peptides increased packed cell volume relative to control in both states, and in HF, decreased left atrial pressure. In response to ANP-DRD-induced blood pressure reductions, plasma renin activity rose compared to control only during the high dose in normals, and not at all in HF-suggesting relative renin inhibition, with no increase in aldosterone in either state, whereas renin and aldosterone were both significantly reduced by ANP-DGD in HF. CONCLUSION These ANP analogues exhibit distinct vasodilatory (ANP-DRD) and diuretic/natriuretic (ANP-DGD) activities, and therefore have the potential to provide precision therapy for ADHF patients with differing pathophysiological derangement of pressure-volume homeostasis.

Abstract
NPCdc is a synthetic natriuretic peptide that was originally derived from another peptide, the NP2_Casca, isolated from Crotalus durissus cascavella venom. These molecules share 70% structural homology with natriuretic peptides obtained from different species, including humans. NP2_Casca induces vasorelaxation and increases nitric oxide levels independently of natriuretic peptide receptors A and B. This study aimed to investigate whether NPCdc-induced hypotension in control rats and rats with a reduced kidney mass is associated with effects on the glomerular filtration rate, NADPH oxidase activity and components downstream of natriuretic peptide receptor C (NPR-C). Anaesthetized Wistar rats that were subjected to a sham operation and 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6Nx) were infused with saline (vehicle) or NPCdc (7.5 μg/kg/min) for 70 min. The NPCdc treatment decreased the mean arterial pressure and NADPH oxidase activity while simultaneously increasing the glomerular filtration rate, fractional Na+ excretion and nitric oxide level. After 70 min, the levels of p-AKT Ser-473, p-eNOS Ser-1177, p-nNOS Ser-1417 and p-iNOSTyr-151 were not affected. However, p-ERK1/2 Thr-202/Tyr-204 levels were altered. Thus, nitric oxide and components of NPR-C signalling mediate the effects of NPCdc. The results suggest a potential therapeutic application of this peptide for cardiorenal syndrome.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides, produced by cardiac myocytes, are regulators of the intravascular volume and blood pressure, and also exhibit neuroendocrine, metabolic and growth controlling effects. In heart failure, their synthesis increases exponentially as part of the neuroendocrine activation, but their beneficial effects are diminished. The paper reviews relevant data about their role as diagnosis and prognosis markers in heart failure, the hemodynamic and clinical benefits of their use as therapy in heart failure, together with the main adverse effects. Peptides non-specifically increase in extracardiac pathology and the literature reveals the mechanisms of increase, significance and threshold values to exclude cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with acute heart failure (AHF) according to clinical profiles based on congestion and perfusion determined in the emergency department (ED). METHODS AND RESULTS Overall, 11 261 unselected AHF patients from 41 Spanish EDs were classified according to perfusion (normoperfusion = warm; hypoperfusion = cold) and congestion (not = dry; yes = wet). Baseline and decompensation characteristics were recorded as were the main wards to which patients were admitted. The primary outcome was 1-year all-cause mortality; secondary outcomes were need for hospitalisation during the index AHF event, in-hospital all-cause mortality, prolonged hospitalisation, 7-day post-discharge ED revisit for AHF and 30-day post-discharge rehospitalisation for AHF. A total of 8558 patients (76.0%) were warm + wet, 1929 (17.1%) cold + wet, 675 (6.0%) warm + dry, and 99 (0.9%) cold + dry; hypoperfused (cold) patients were more frequently admitted to intensive care units and geriatrics departments, and warm + wet patients were discharged home without admission. The four phenotypes differed in most of the baseline and decompensation characteristics. The 1-year mortality was 30.8%, and compared to warm + dry, the adjusted hazard ratios were significantly increased for cold + wet (1.660; 95% confidence interval 1.400-1.968) and cold + dry (1.672; 95% confidence interval 1.189-2.351). Hypoperfused (cold) phenotypes also showed higher rates of index episode hospitalisation and in-hospital mortality, while congestive (wet) phenotypes had a higher risk of prolonged hospitalisation but decreased risk of rehospitalisation. No differences were observed among phenotypes in ED revisit risk. CONCLUSIONS Bedside clinical evaluation of congestion and perfusion of AHF patients upon ED arrival and classification according to phenotypic profiles proposed by the latest European Society of Cardiology guidelines provide useful complementary information and help to rapidly predict patient outcomes shortly after ED patient arrival.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca2+-flux systems located at the ER-mitochondrial axis govern mitochondrial Ca2+ balance and cell fate. Multiple yet incurable pathologies are characterized by insufficient or excessive Ca2+ fluxes toward the mitochondria, in turn leading to aberrant cell life or death dynamics. The discovery and ongoing molecular characterization of the main interorganellar Ca2+ gateways have resulted in a novel class of peptide tools able to regulate relevant protein-protein interactions (PPIs) underlying this signaling scenario. Here, we review peptides, molecularly derived from Ca2+-flux systems or their accessory proteins. We discuss how they alter Ca2+-signaling protein complexes and modulate cell survival in light of their forthcoming therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The mammalian heart is by now an established endocrine organ whose myocytes in a regulated manner release atrial and ventricular natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP). But like other hormone-producing cells in classic endocrine organs, the cardiac myocytes also express genes of additional peptide hormones. One such hormone gene is that of the well-known pleiotropic gut-brain peptide system, cholecystokinin (CCK), which is expressed at mRNA and protein levels in both atrial and ventricular cardiac myocytes. The posttranslational processing of proCCK in the myocytes, however, deviates substantially from that of other CCK-producing cells. Hence, the predominant cardiac proCCK product is devoid of the N-terminal 1-24 fragment, and besides O-sulfated at three C-terminal tyrosyl residues (Y76, Y90, and Y92). Moreover, carboxyamidated CCK peptides are present only in very low trace amounts (≤0.1%) in comparison with the truncated and triple-sulfated proCCK fragment. The present review first summarizes present knowledge about the wide-spread expression of the CCK system in mammals, and then discusses the possible function and biomarker role of the specific cardiac proCCK variant. The review concludes that the many unsettled questions about the specific cardiac expression cascade as well as the functional and diagnostic roles of cardiac CCK are worth pursuing.

Evolving Role of Natriuretic Peptides from Diagnostic Tool to Therapeutic Modality. ADVANCES IN EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY 2018; 1067:109-131.

Abstract
Natriuretic peptides (NP) are widely recognized as key regulators of blood pressure, water and salt homeostasis. In addition, they play a critical role in physiological cardiac growth and mediate a variety of biological effects including antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory effects in other organs and tissues. The cardiac release of NPs ANP and BNP represents an important compensatory mechanism during acute and chronic cardiac overload and during the pathogenesis of heart failure where their actions counteract the sustained activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and other neurohormonal systems. Elevated circulating plasma NP levels correlate with the severity of heart failure and particularly BNP and the pro-peptide, NT-proBNP have been established as biomarkers for the diagnosis of heart failure as well as prognostic markers for cardiovascular risk. Despite activation of the NP system in heart failure it is inadequate to prevent progressive fluid and sodium retention and cardiac remodeling. Therapeutic approaches included administration of synthetic peptide analogs and the inhibition of NP-degrading enzyme neutral endopeptidase (NEP). Of all strategies only the combined NEP/ARB inhibition with sacubitril/valsartan had shown clinical success in reducing cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in patients with heart failure.

Abstract
Pathological interplay between the heart and kidneys—also known as cardio-renal syndrome (CRS)—is frequently encountered in heart failure and is linked to worse prognosis and quality of life. Drug therapies for this complex situation may include nitroprusside or the recombinant B-type natriuretic peptide nesiritide for patients with acute CRS with normal or high blood pressure, and inotropes or inodilators for patients with acute CRS with low blood pressure. Clinical data for a renal-protective action of levosimendan are suggestive, and meta-analysis data obtained in a range of low-output states are consistent with a levosimendan-induced benefit. Evidence of favourable organ-specific effects of levosimendan, including pre-glomerular vasodilation and increased renal artery diameter and renal blood flow, were collected both in preclinical and clinical studies. Larger randomized controlled trials are however needed to confirm the renal effects of levosimendan in various clinical settings.
