Recently, it has been shown that dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) phosphorylates NFAT, which limits calcineurin/NFAT signal transduction in T cells and hypertrophy in cultured cardiomyocytes. The hypothesis tested in this study was that DYRK1A prevents calcineurin/NFAT-mediated cardiac hypertrophy in vivo. Methods and results In cultured rat cardiomyocytes, adenovirus-mediated overexpression of DYRK1A antagonized calcineurin-mediated nuclear NFAT translocation and the phenylephrine-induced hypertrophic growth response. To test the ability of DYRK1A to reduce hypertrophic cardiac growth in vivo, we created tetracycline-repressible Dyrk1a transgenic mice to avoid the cardiac developmental defects associated with embryonic DYRK1A expression. However, in the mouse model, histological determination of myocyte diameter, heart weight/body weight ratio, and echocardiographic measurements revealed that myocardial expression of DYRK1A failed to reduce hypertrophy induced via aortic banding or co-expression of calcineurin. This discrepancy is explained, at least in part, by insufficient long-term inhibition of NFAT and the activation of DYRK1A-resistant maladaptive genes in vivo. Conclusion Isolated augmentation of DYRK1A can be compensated for in vivo, and this may significantly limit anti-hypertrophic interventions aimed at enhancing DYRK1A activity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/cvr/cvr023"],["dc.identifier.gro","3142722"],["dc.identifier.isi","000290820200018"],["dc.identifier.pmid","21273244"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/157"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Oxford Univ Press"],["dc.relation.issn","0008-6363"],["dc.title","Enhanced expression of DYRK1A in cardiomyocytes inhibits acute NFAT activation but does not prevent hypertrophy in vivo"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of pantoprazole in vivo in healthy myocardium and in the setting of heart failure. Methods and ResultsHealthy mice and mice with heart failure 4weeks after myocardial infarction induced by permanent LAD ligation were instrumented with a Millar Mikrotip conductance catheter to record pressure-volume loops. Pantoprazole was infused at rates of 3 and 10mg/kg/min intravenously, and hemodynamic parameters were recorded. Infusion of pantoprazole at increasing rates lead to a significant decline of end systolic LV pressure by decreasing heart rate, myocardial contractility and arterial elastance. These effects were quick, beginning immediately with the infusion and usually reaching a plateau after 2 or 3min of infusion. The effects on blood pressure and heart rate were of comparable size in healthy mice and mice with MI. However, in sham-operated mice, there was a compensatory increase in stroke volume that sufficed to maintain cardiac output at a constant level, which was missing in mice with MI. In 4 of 13 mice with MI infusion of 10mg/kg/min pantoprazole lead to pump failure, which was lethal in 2 of these animals. ConclusionAt higher infusion rates, pantoprazole is able to induce negative hemodynamic responses. In particular, in the setting of heart failure, these effects can lead to significant impairment of cardiac function. Therefore, high infusion rates of pantoprazole should be avoided especially in heart failure patients."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/1755-5922.12102"],["dc.identifier.gro","3141966"],["dc.identifier.isi","000348660500004"],["dc.identifier.pmid","25529757"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/3057"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-blackwell"],["dc.relation.eissn","1755-5922"],["dc.relation.issn","1755-5914"],["dc.title","Negative Hemodynamic Effects of Pantoprazole at High Infusion Rates in Mice"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In addition, a variety of telethonin mutations are associated with the development of several different diseases; however, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms and telethonin's in vivo function. Objective: Here we aim to investigate the role of telethonin in vivo and to identify molecular mechanisms underlying disease as a result of its mutation. Methods and Results: By using a variety of different genetically altered animal models and biophysical experiments we show that contrary to previous views, telethonin is not an indispensable component of the titin-anchoring system, nor is deletion of the gene or cardiac specific overexpression associated with a spontaneous cardiac phenotype. Rather, additional titin-anchorage sites, such as actin-titin cross-links via alpha-actinin, are sufficient to maintain Z-disk stability despite the loss of telethonin. We demonstrate that a main novel function of telethonin is to modulate the turnover of the proapoptotic tumor suppressor p53 after biomechanical stress in the nuclear compartment, thus linking telethonin, a protein well known to be present at the Z-disk, directly to apoptosis (\"mechanoptosis\"). In addition, loss of telethonin mRNA and nuclear accumulation of this protein is associated with human heart failure, an effect that may contribute to enhanced rates of apoptosis found in these hearts. Conclusions: Telethonin knockout mice do not reveal defective heart development or heart function under basal conditions, but develop heart failure following biomechanical stress, owing at least in part to apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, an effect that may also play a role in human heart failure.

The suitability of engineered heart tissue (EHT) for both in vitro and in vivo applications will depend on the degree of syncytoid tissue formation and cardiac myocyte differentiation in vitro, contractile function, and electrophysiological properties. Here, we demonstrate that cardiac myocytes from neonatal rats, when mixed with collagen I and matrix factors, cast in circular molds, and subjected to phasic mechanical stretch, reconstitute ring-shaped EHTs that display important hallmarks of differentiated myocardium. Comparative histological analysis of EHTs with native heart tissue from newborn, 6-day-old, and adult rats revealed that cardiac cells in EHTs reconstitute intensively interconnected, longitudinally oriented, cardiac muscle bundles with morphological features resembling adult rather than immature native tissue. Confocal and electron microscopy demonstrated characteristic features of native differentiated myocardium; some of these features are absent in myocytes from newborn rats: (1) highly organized sarcomeres in registry; (2) adherens junctions, gap junctions, and desmosomes; (3) a well-developed T-tubular system and dyad formation with the sarcoplasmic reticulum; and (4) a basement membrane surrounding cardiac myocytes. Accordingly, EHTs displayed contractile characteristics of native myocardium with a high ratio of twitch (0.4 to 0.8 mN) to resting tension (0.1 to 0.3 mN) and a strong beta-adrenergic inotropic response. Action potential recordings demonstrated stable resting membrane potentials of -66 to -78 mV, fast upstroke kinetics, and a prominent plateau phase.

Cardiac muscle engineering is compromised by a particularly high rate of cardiomyocyte death. Here we hypothesized that PDGF-BB stimulation can (1) protect cardiomyocytes from apoptosis, (2) enhance myocyte content in and (3) consequently optimize contractile performance of engineered heart tissue (EHT). We investigated the effects of PDGF-receptor activation in neonatal rat heart monolayer- and EHT-cultures by isometric contraction experiments, cytomorphometry, H-3-thymidine and H-3-phenylalanine incorporation assays, quantitative PCR (calsequestrin 2, alpha-cardiac and skeletal actin, atrial natriuretic factor, alpha- and beta-myosin heavy chain), immunoblotting (activated caspase 3, Akt-phosphorylation), and ELISA (cell death detection). PDGF-BB did not induce hypertrophy or proliferation in cardiomyocytes, but enhanced contractile performance of EHT. This effect was concentration-dependent (E-max 10 ng/ml) and maximal only after transient PDGF-BB stimulation (culture days 0-7: total culture duration: 12 days). Improvement of contractile function was associated with higher cardiomyocyte content, as a consequence of PDGF-BB mediated protection from apoptosis (lower caspase-3 activity particularly in cardiomyocytes in PDGF-BB treated vs. untreated EHTs). We confirmed the anti-apoptotic effect of PDGF-BB in monolayer cultures and observed that PI3-kinase inhibition with LY294002 attenuated PDGF-BB-mediated cardiomyocyte protection. We conclude that PDGF-BB does not induce hypertrophy or proliferation, but confers an anti-apoptotic effect on cardiomyocytes. Our findings suggest a further exploitation of PDGF-BB in cardiomyocyte protection in vivo and in vitro. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
