In this context several downstream mediators and cascades have been identified to potentially play a role in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. One of these proteins is the monomeric G protein Rac1. However, until now it is unclear how this essential G protein is activated by alpha(1)-AR agonists and what are the downstream targets inducing cellular growth. By using protein-based as well as pharmacological inhibitors and the shRNA technique, we demonstrate that in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCM) Rac1 is activated via a cascade involving the alpha(1A)-AR subtype, G(i)beta gamma, the phosphoinositide-3'-kinase and the guanine nucleotide exchange factor Tiam1. We further demonstrate that this signaling induces an increase in protein synthesis, cell size and atrial natriuretic peptide expression. We identified the p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2) as a downstream effector of Rac1 and were able to link this cascade to the activation of the pro-hypertrophic kinases ERK1/2 and p90RSK. Our data thus reveal a prominent role of the alpha(1A)-AR/G(i)beta gamma/Tiam1-mediated activation of Rac1 and its effector PAK2 in the induction of hypertrophy in NRCM. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Background Diminished cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and augmented cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling is characteristic for failing hearts. Among the PDE superfamily, PDE2 has the unique property of being able to be stimulated by cGMP, thus leading to a remarkable increase in cAMP hydrolysis mediating a negative cross talk between cGMP and cAMP signaling. However, the role of PDE2 in HF is poorly understood. Methods Immunoblotting, radioenzymatic- and fluorescence resonance energy transfer–based assays, video edge detection, epifluorescence microscopy, and L-type Ca2+ current measurements were performed in myocardial tissues and/or isolated cardiomyocytes from human and/or experimental HF, respectively. Results Myocardial PDE2 expression and activity were ∼2-fold higher in advanced human HF. Chronic β-AR stimulation via catecholamine infusions in rats enhanced PDE2 expression ∼2-fold and cAMP hydrolytic activity ∼4-fold, which correlated with blunted cardiac β-AR responsiveness. In diseased cardiomyocytes, higher PDE2 activity could be further enhanced by stimulation of cGMP synthesis via nitric oxide donors, whereas specific PDE2 inhibition partially restored β-AR responsiveness. Accordingly, PDE2 overexpression in healthy cardiomyocytes reduced the rise in cAMP levels and L-type Ca2+ current amplitude, and abolished the inotropic effect following acute β-AR stimulation, without affecting basal contractility. Importantly, PDE2-overexpressing cardiomyocytes showed marked protection from norepinephrine-induced hypertrophic responses. Conclusions PDE2 is markedly up-regulated in failing hearts and desensitizes against acute β-AR stimulation. This may constitute an important defense mechanism during cardiac stress, for example, by antagonizing excessive β-AR drive. Thus, activating myocardial PDE2 may represent a novel intracellular antiadrenergic therapeutic strategy in HF."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.jacc.2013.05.057"],["dc.identifier.gro","3142269"],["dc.identifier.isi","000325937400010"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23810893"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/57317"],["dc.identifier.url","https://sfb1002.med.uni-goettingen.de/production/literature/publications/37"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002: Modulatorische Einheiten bei Herzinsuffizienz"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002 | A01: cAMP- und cGMP- Mikrodomänen bei Herzhypertrophie und Insuffizienz"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002 | A02: Bedeutung des Phosphatase-Inhibitors-1 für die SR-spezifische Modulation der Beta- adrenozeptor-Signalkaskade"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002 | C02: RhoGTPasen und ihre Bedeutung für die Last-abhängige Myokardfibrose"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002 | C04: Fibroblasten-Kardiomyozyten Interaktion im gesunden und erkrankten Herzen: Mechanismen und therapeutische Interventionen bei Kardiofibroblastopathien"],["dc.relation.eissn","1558-3597"],["dc.relation.issn","1558-3597"],["dc.relation.issn","0735-1097"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG El-Armouche"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Lutz (G Protein-Coupled Receptor Mediated Signaling)"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG L.

We could show that p63RhoGEF is up-regulated in mouse hearts subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC). In an engineered heart muscle model (EHM), p63RhoGEF expression in cardiac fibroblasts increased resting and twitch tensions, and the dominant negative p63 Delta N decreased both.

In 2D cultures of neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts, p63RhoGEF regulated the angiotensin II (Ang II)-dependent RhoA activation, the activation of the serum response factor, and the expression and secretion of the connective tissue growth factor (CTGF). All these processes were inhibited by the knockdown of p63RhoGEF or by p63 Delta N likely based on their negative influence on the actin cytoskeleton.

By this, we could show that p63RhoGEF is endogenously expressed in RASMCs and acts there as the dominant mediator of the fast angiotensin II (ANG II)-dependent but not of the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)-dependent RhoA activation. p63RhoGEF is not an activator of the concomitant Rac1 activation and functions independently of caveolae.

The phosphodiesterase 2 (PDE2) has the unique property to be stimulated by cGMP, which leads to a remarkable increase in cAMP hydrolysis and thus mediates a negative cross-talk between both pathways. PDE2 has been recently investigated in cardiomyocytes; here we specifically addressed its role in fibroblast conversion and cardiac fibrosis. PDE2 is abundantly expressed in both neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and cardiomyocytes. The overexpression of PDE2 in CFs strongly reduced basal and isoprenaline-induced cAMP synthesis, and this decrease was sufficient to induce MyoCF conversion even in the absence of exogenous profibrotic stimuli. Functional stress-strain experiments with fibroblast-derived engineered connective tissue (ECT) demonstrated higher stiffness in ECTs overexpressing PDE2. In regard to cGMP, neither basal nor atrial natriuretic peptide-induced cGMP levels were affected by PDE2, whereas the response to nitric oxide donor sodium nitroprusside was slightly but significantly reduced. Interestingly, despite persistently depressed cAMP levels, both cGMP-elevating stimuli were able to completely prevent the PDE2-induced MyoCF phenotype, arguing for a double-tracked mechanism. In conclusion, PDE2 accelerates CF to MyoCF conversion, which leads to greater stiffness in ECTs. Atrial natriuretic peptide-and sodium nitroprusside-mediated cGMP synthesis completely reverses PDE2-induced fibroblast conversion. Thus PDE2 may augment cardiac remodeling, but this effect can also be overcome by enhanced cGMP.

Nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDPKs) are enriched at the plasma membrane of patients with end-stage HF, but the functional consequences of this are largely unknown, particularly for NDPK-C. Here, we investigated the potential role of NDPK-C in cardiac cAMP formation and contractility. Methods: Real-time polymerase chain reaction, (far) Western blot, immunoprecipitation, and immunocytochemistry were used to study the expression, interaction with G proteins, and localization of NDPKs. cAMP levels were determined with immunoassays or fluorescent resonance energy transfer, and contractility was determined in cardiomyocytes (cell shortening) and in vivo (fractional shortening). Results: NDPK-C was essential for the formation of an NDPK-B/G protein complex. Protein and mRNA levels of NDPK-C were upregulated in end-stage human HF, in rats after long-term isoprenaline stimulation through osmotic minipumps, and after incubation of rat neonatal cardiomyocytes with isoprenaline. Isoprenaline also promoted translocation of NDPK-C to the plasma membrane. Overexpression of NDPK-C in cardiomyocytes increased cAMP levels and sensitized cardiomyocytes to isoprenaline-induced augmentation of contractility, whereas NDPK-C knockdown decreased cAMP levels. In vivo, depletion of NDPK-C in zebrafish embryos caused cardiac edema and ventricular dysfunction. NDPK-B knockout mice had unaltered NDPK-C expression but showed contractile dysfunction and exacerbated cardiac remodeling during long-term isoprenaline stimulation. In human end-stage HF, the complex formation between NDPK-C and G(i2) was increased whereas the NDPK-C/G(s) interaction was decreased, producing a switch that may contribute to an NDPK-C-dependent cAMP reduction in HF. Conclusions: Our findings identify NDPK-C as an essential requirement for both the interaction between NDPK isoforms and between NDPK isoforms and G proteins. NDPK-C is a novel critical regulator of -adrenoceptor/cAMP signaling and cardiac contractility. By switching from G(s) to G(i2) activation, NDPK-C may contribute to lower cAMP levels and the related contractile dysfunction in HF."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.116.022852"],["dc.identifier.eissn","1524-4539"],["dc.identifier.isi","000395549700016"],["dc.identifier.issn","0009-7322"],["dc.identifier.pmid","27927712"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/77166"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-354"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Lippincott Williams & Wilkins"],["dc.relation.issn","1524-4539"],["dc.relation.issn","0009-7322"],["dc.title","Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase-C Suppresses cAMP Formation in Human Heart Failure"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
