HNO/cGMP-dependent antihypertrophic actions of isopropylamine-NONOate in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes: potential therapeutic advantages of HNO over NO˙
2013
Nitroxyl (HNO) is a redox congener of NO˙. We now directly compare the antihypertrophic efficacy of HNO and NO˙ donors in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and compare their contributing mechanisms of actions in this setting. Isopropylamine-NONOate (IPA-NO) elicited concentration-dependent inhibition of endothelin-1 (ET1)-induced increases in cardiomyocyte size, with similar suppression of hypertrophic genes. Antihypertrophic IPA-NO actions were significantly attenuated by l-cysteine (HNO scavenger), Rp-8-pCTP-cGMPS (cGMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor), and 1-H-(1,2,4)-oxodiazolo-quinxaline-1-one [ODQ; to target soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)] but were unaffected by carboxy-PTIO (NO˙ scavenger) or CGRP8–37 (calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonist). Furthermore, IPA-NO significantly increased cardiomyocyte cGMP 3.5-fold (an l-cysteine-sensitive effect) and stimulated sGC activity threefold, without detectable NO˙ release. IPA-NO also suppressed ET1-induced cardiomyocyte superoxide generation. The pure NO...
