Opposing functional effects of cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP may act through protein phosphorylation in rabbit cardiac myocytes

Abstract: 1. We tested the hypothesis that the negative functional effects of cyclic GMP (cGMP) oppose the positive effects of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in cardiac myocytes through interaction at the level of their respective protein kinases. 2. Cell shortening was studied using a video-edge detector. The O2 consumption of a suspension of rabbit ventricular myocytes was measured using O2 electrodes. Protein phosphorylation was measured autoradiographically following SDS-PAGE. Data were collected with: (1) 8-bromo-cGMP (8-Br-cGM… Show more

“…There is also evidence that the cyclic GMP-affected cyclic AMP phosphodiesterases can play an important role in the functional effects of cyclic GMP through changes in the level of cyclic AMP in the heart and myocytes [13,14,27] . At rest, the cyclic AMP levels in control myocytes was about 15 times that of cyclic GMP, as has been reported previously [9,11,13,20,23] . In the current study, zaprinast signifi cantly increased the level of cyclic GMP without affecting the level of cyclic AMP.…”

“…Many of these effects are related to activation of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, which may phosphorylate membrane channels or parts of the contractile machinery [6,9] , as well as nonprotein kinase effects [10] . There is some evidence that nitric oxide can activate the cyclic AMP protein kinase, but this may be through effects on the cyclic GMP-affected cyclic AMP phosphodiesterases [13,25] .…”

“…Maximal activation of PKG was observed at a dose of 10 mol/L cGMP in rabbit cardiomyocytes. 31 PKG-induced swelling was also inhibited by glibenclamide, a nonselective K ATP antagonist, and 5HD and TPP ϩ , selective mitoK ATP blockers, confirming PKG caused swelling by opening mitoK ATP . In contrast, HMR1098, a surface K ATP channel blocker, was ineffective, indicating the effect of PKG on mitochondrial swelling is specifically the result of its action on mitoK ATP .…”
