Cyclic GMP protein kinase activity is reduced in thyroxine‐induced hypertrophic cardiac myocytes

Abstract: 1. We tested the hypothesis that the cGMP-dependent protein kinase has major negative functional effects in cardiac myocytes and that the importance of this pathway is reduced in thyroxine (T4; 0.5 mg/kg per day for 16 days) hypertrophic myocytes. 2. Using isolated ventricular myocytes from control (n = 7) and T4-treated (n = 9) rabbit hypertrophic hearts, myocyte shortening was studied with a video edge detector. Oxygen consumption was measured using O2 electrodes. Protein phosphorylation was measured autorad… Show more

“…Cyclic GMP has been shown to exert various inhibitory actions on cardiac myocytes including negative inotropic effects [15], reductions in metabolism [16] and inhibition of L-type calcium channels [17]. The level of this second messenger is increased by both nitric oxide and natriuretic peptides.…”

“…The effects of cyclic GMP were significantly blunted in the 1K1C cardiac myocytes. Previous studies had suggested reduced cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase activity in this and other models of cardiac hypertrophy [5,16,17] . There may also be reductions in the activity of some of the cyclic GMP-affected cyclic AMP phosphodiesterases in myocardial hypertrophy [4] .…”

“…However, the reduced functional effects of cyclic GMP in 1K1C myocytes were still blocked by inhibition of SERCA. This suggested that other factors that cyclic GMP affects, such as changes in cyclic GMP protein kinase or cyclic GMP-affected cyclic AMP phosphodiesterases, were important [4,5,16,17] . It also suggested that the effects of cyclic GMP on phospholamban [20] , which have major effects on SER-CA activity, were not significantly altered in the 1K1C hypertrophic ventricular myocyte.…”

“…There are many reports of depressed ␤ -adrenoceptor responses in pressure overload hypertrophy [17,20,21,28] . Some of this depressed effect has been ascribed to reduced ␤ -adrenoceptor levels or reduced adenylyl cyclase activity.…”
