Inhibition of nitric oxide synthase enhances contractile response of ventricular myocytes from streptozotocin-diabetic rats.

Abstract:

:The contractile hyporesponsiveness of the streptozotocin diabetic rat heart in vitro to beta-adrenergic agonists is eliminated when the heart is perfused with N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a non-selective inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). The following study evaluated the hypothesis that an increased production of NO/cGMP within the diabetic myocyte inhibits the beta-adrenergic-stimulated increase in calcium current and contractile response. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given an intravenous injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg). After 8 weeks, L-type calcium currents were recorded in ventricular myocytes using the whole cell voltage-clamp method. Shortening of isolated myocytes was determined using a video edge detection system. cAMP and cGMP were measured using radioimmunoassay. Nitric oxide production was determined using the Griess assay kit. Basal cGMP levels and nitric oxide production were elevated in diabetic myocytes. Shortening of the diabetic myocytes in response to isoproterenol (1 microM) was markedly diminished. However, there was no detectable difference in the isoproterenol-stimulated L-type calcium current or cAMP levels between control and diabetic myocytes. Acute superfusion of the diabetic myocyte with L-NAME (1 mM) decreased basal cGMP and markedly enhanced the shortening response to isoproterenol but did not alter isoproterenol-stimulated calcium current. These data suggest that increased production of NO/cGMP within the diabetic myocyte suppressed beta-adrenergic stimulated shortening of the myocyte. However, NO/cGMP apparently does not suppress shortening of the myocyte by inhibition of the beta-stimulated calcium current.
