Project description:Increasing cGMP levels by modulating soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) can be renoprotective. While sGC stimulators can modulate cGMP levels, their application is limited as they require native sGC to function. sGC activators on the other hand can function with heme-free sGC. Therefore, we tested the renoprotective effects of the sGC activator BAY 60-2770 that also functions with oxidized sGC in an acute kidney injury (AKI) model with transition to chronic kidney disease (CKD). In order to study the effects of BAY 60-2770 on gene expression in tubular cells, we used the proximal tubular cell line HK-2 as a model. To mimic the ischemia and fibrosis observed in vivo, we subjected HK-2 cells to hypoxia and TGF-β1 treatment, respectively. RNASeq analysis showed that BAY 60-2770 had a significant influence on the expression of genes involved in fibrosis, inflammation and tissue damage after both hypoxia and TGF-β1 treatments.

Project description:Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common cause of renal failure. Therapeutics development is hampered by our incomplete understanding of animal models on a cellular level. We show that ZSF1 rats recapitulate human DKD on a phenotypic and transcriptomic level. Tensor decomposition prioritizes proximal tubule (PT) and stroma as phenotype-relevant cell types exhibiting a continuous lineage relationship. As DKD features endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and nitric oxide depletion, soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is a promising DKD drug target. sGC expression is specifically enriched in PT and stroma. In ZSF1 rats, pharmacological sGC activation confers considerable benefits over stimulation and is mechanistically related to improved oxidative stress regulation, resulting in enhanced downstream cGMP effects. Finally, we define sGC gene co-expression modules, which allow stratification of human kidney samples by DKD prevalence and disease-relevant measures such as kidney function, proteinuria, and fibrosis, underscoring the relevance of the sGC pathway to patients.

Project description:Hypertension is a dominating risk factor for cardiovascular disease. To characterize the genomic response to hypertension, we administered vehicle or angiotensin II to mice and performed gene expression analyses. AngII treatment resulted in a robust increase in blood pressure and altered expression of 235 genes in the aorta, including Gucy1a3 and Gucy1b3 which encode subunits of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC). Western blotting and immunohistochemistry confirmed repression of sGC associated with curtailed relaxation via sGC activation. Analysis of transcription factor binding motifs in promoters of differentially expressed genes identified enrichment of motifs for RBPJ, a component of the Notch signaling pathway, and the Notch coactivators FRYL and MAML2 were reduced. Gain and loss of function experiments demonstrated that JAG/NOTCH signaling controls sGC expression together with MAML2 and FRYL. Reduced expression of sGC, correlating with differential expression of MAML2 in stroke prone and spontaneously hypertensive rats was also seen and RNA-Seq data demonstrated correlations between JAG1, NOTCH3, MAML2 and FRYL and the sGC subunits GUCY1A3 and GUCY1B3 in human coronary artery. Notch signaling thus provides a constitutive drive on expression of the major nitric oxide receptor (GUCY1A3/GUCY1B3) in arteries from mice, rats, and humans, and this control mechanism is disturbed in hypertension.

Project description:Stone1996 - activation of soluble guanylate
cyclase by nitric oxide
This features the two step binding of
NO to soluble Guanylyl Cyclase as proposed by
Stone
JR, Marletta MA. Biochemistry (1996) 35(4):1093-9 . There is a
fast step binding scheme and a slow step binding scheme. The
difference lies in the binding of a NO to a non-heme site on sGC,
which may not necessarily be the same site of binding during the
initial binding. The rates have been directly used models.
This model is described in the article:

oxide.

Abstract:
The soluble form of guanylate cyclase (sGC) is the only
definitive receptor for the signaling agent nitric oxide (.NO).
The enzyme is a heterodimer of homologous subunits in which
each subunit binds 1 equiv of 5-coordinate high-spin heme. .NO
increases the Vmax of sGC up to 400-fold and has previously
been shown to bind to the heme to form a 5-coordinate complex.
Using stopped-flow spectrophotometry, it is demonstrated that
the binding of .NO to the heme of sGC is a complex process. .NO
first binds to the heme to form a 6-coordinate nitrosyl
complex, which then converts to a 5-coordinate nitrosyl complex
through one of two ways. For 28 +/- 4% of the heme, the
6-coordinate nitrosyl complex rapidly (approximately 20 s-1)
converts to the 5-coordinate complex. For the remaining 72 +/-
4% of the heme, the conversion of the 6-coordinate nitrosyl
complex to a 5-coordinate nitrosyl complex is slow (0.1-1.0
s-1) and is dependent upon the interaction of .NO with an
unidentified non-heme site on the protein. The heme (200 nM)
was completely converted to the 5-coordinate state with as
little as 500 nM .NO, and the equilibrium dissociation constant
of .NO for activating the enzyme was determined to be < or =
250 nM. Gel-filtration analysis indicates that the binding of
.NO to the heme has no effect on the native molecular mass of
the protein. Correlation of electronic absorption spectra with
activity measurements indicates that the 5-coordinate nitrosyl
form of the enzyme is activated relative to the resting
5-coordinate ferrous form of the enzyme.

Project description:Soluble guanylyl cyclase (GC1) is an α/β heterodimer producing cGMP when stimulated by nitric oxide (NO). The NO-GC1-cGMP pathway is essential to cardiovascular homeostasis but is disrupted by oxidative stress, which induces GC1 desensitization to NO by S-nitrosation (SNO) of its cysteines (C). We discovered that under these conditions, GC1-α subunit increases cellular S-nitrosation via transfer of its nitrosothiols to other proteins (transnitrosation). One of the SNO-targets was the oxidized form of the oxido-reductase Thioredoxin1 (oTrx1), which is unilaterally transnitrosated by GC1. GC1-αC610 was a major SNO-donor to oTrx1-C73. Because oTrx1 itself drives transnitrosation, we sought and identified several SNO-proteins targeted by both GC1 and oTrx1. Among them, transnitrosation of RhoA by SNO-GC1 requires oTrx1 as a nitrosothiol relay, suggesting a SNO-GC1→oTrx1→RhoA cascade. We showed that RhoA pathway, which is antagonized by the canonical NO-cGMP signaling, was alternatively inhibited by GC1-α-dependent S-nitrosation under oxidative conditions. We propose that some SNO-GC1’ functions are adaptive responses triggered by oxidation of the canonical NO-cGMP pathway

Project description:Diabetic nephropathy is associated with endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress, in which nitric oxide-soluble guanylate cyclase-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO-sGC-cGMP) signaling pathway is impaired. We hypothesize that sGC stimulator, Compound 1, can enhance NO signaling, reduce proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy pre-clinical model with diminished NO-bioavailability and increased oxidized sGC. We therefore, evaluated the effect of sGC stimulator Compound 1 on renal effect in obese ZSF1 rats. Materials and Methods: The sGC stimulator Compound 1, the standard of care agent enalapril, and combination of Compound 1 with enalapril was administered chronically to ZSF1 rats for 6 months. Mean arterial pressure, heart rate, creatinine clearance for estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary protein excretion to creatinine ratio (UPCR), and urinary albumin excretion ratio (UACR) were determined during the study. Histopathology of glomerular and interstitial lesions were assessed at the completion of the study. Results: While both Compound 1 and Enalapril significantly reduced blood pressure the combination of Compound 1 and enalapril normalized blood pressure level. Compound 1 improved eGFR and reduced UPCR and UACR. Combination of enalapril and Compound 1 resulted in marked reduction in UPCR and UACR and improved GFR. Conclusion: The sGC stimulator Compound 1 as a monotherapy slowed renal disease progression and the combination of sGC stimulator with enalapril provided a greater renal protection in a rodent model of diabetic nephropathy.

Project description:Naringenin (NAR) is a prominent flavanone, and it has been recognized for its capacity to promote osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) in prior research. The present study aimed to explore how NAR promotes the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs and to assess its efficacy in repairing alveolar bone defects. In the present study, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of NAR action was established by mRNA sequencing and network pharmacological analysis. Gene and protein expression were evaluated by PCR and western blotting. Alizarin red and alkaline phosphatase staining were employed to observe the osteogenic capacity of hPDLSCs, and immunofluorescence was used to examine the co-localization of NAR molecular probes and AKT in cells. Repair of mandibular defects was assessed by micro computed tomography (micro-CT), Masson staining and immunofluorescence. Additionally, computer simulation docking software was utilized to determine the binding affinity of NAR to the target protein AKT. The results demonstrated that activation of the nitric oxide (NO)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-protein kinase G (PKG) signaling pathway promoted the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. Inhibition of AKT, endothelial nitric oxide synthase and soluble guanylate cyclase individually attenuated NAR’s ability to promote the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. Micro-CT and Masson staining revealed more new bone formation at the defect site in the NAR gavage group. Immunofluorescence assays confirmed upregulated expression of Runt-related transcription factor 2 and osteopontin in the NAR gavage group. In conclusion, the present study suggests that NAR promotes the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs by activating the NO-cGMP-PKG signaling pathway through its binding to AKT.

Project description:Genomic and behavioral investigations were performed to determine the effects of a mutation in a Drosophila soluble guanylyl cyclase gene. A mutant DGCalpha1[3] third chromosome was crossed into a natural rover (for[R]) or natural sitter (for[s]) genetic background. (See Osborne et al. 1997; PMID: 9242616.) First instar larvae were collected and grown on 60mm Petri plates containing 10 mL of food until mid-third instar. (Approximate density was 3 animals per mL food). Larvae were collected and washed quickly with distilled water and were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. Co-reared larvae were tested for behavioural effects. Four independent collections were made for each of the two conditions (Rover_DGCalpha1[3] or sitter_DGCalpha1[3]).

Project description:Background: Moyamoya is a cerebrovascular condition of unknown mechanism characterized by a progressive stenosis of the terminal part of the internal carotid arteries (ICA) and the compensatory development of abnormal “moyamoya” vessels. It leads to ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. We describe a novel autosomal recessive disease leading to severe moyamoya and early onset achalasia and report its cause in 3 unrelated families. Methods: We used a combination of genetic linkage and exome sequencing in 2 consanguineous to identify rare shared variants. Sanger sequencing of GUCY1A3, the sole gene mutated in both families, was then conducted in the third family. Platelets from one of the patients and controls were used to carry out functional studies. Results: Homozygous mutations of GUCY1A3 gene encoding the alpha1 subunit of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), the major receptor for Nitric Oxide (NO), were identified in all 3 families. Platelet analysis showed a complete loss of the mutated protein and showed an unexpected stimulatory role of sGC within platelets. Conclusion: The NO/sGC/cGMP pathway is a major pathway controlling vascular smooth muscle (VSMC) relaxation, vascular tone and vascular remodeling. Our data suggest that alterations of this pathway may lead to an abnormal vascular remodeling process in sensitive vascular areas with low blood
