Profiling B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Cleavage Peptidoforms in Human Plasma by Capillary Electrophoresis with Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: : B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) is a biologically active circulating hormone. Plasma concentrations of BNP are routinely used in the diagnosis of heart failure and the intravenous infusion of recombinant BNP can be used for heart failure treatment. We sought to develop a technique capable of profiling these catabolic processes in plasma. We used a neutral-coated Capillary Electrophoresis-Electrospray Ionization (CESI) separation system coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry to profile the proteolysis of exogenous recombinant BNP1-32 in plasma. Our method utilizes electrokinetic injection of minimally processed plasma samples to simultaneously monitor the dynamic generation and breakdown of at least five BNP peptidoforms in plasma. By integrating multisegment injection, our method can produce a multi-point BNP proteolytic profile for one sample within an hour. We envision applying this method to assess the potential relation between plasma-based BNP proteolysis and heart failure, as well as a means of monitoring BNP bioavailability after therapeutic infusion.

Project description:Background: Vitamin D deficiency is associated with cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, and vitamin D therapy prevents the progression of cardiac hypertrophy in animal models. Here, we examine whether vitamin D therapy regresses pre-existing cardiac hypertrophy, and prevents the progression to heart failure. Methods and Results: When male Dahl salt-sensitive (DSS) rats are fed a high salt (HS) diet, all rats develop cardiac hypertrophy after 5 weeks (H). Thereafter, rats were treated with vehicle (V), paricalcitol (PC, an active vitamin D analog at 200ng, IP 3x/wk), enalapril (EP, 90ug/day), and PC+EP. All groups were continued on the HS diet and evaluated after 4 weeks of therapy. The PC and PC+EP, but not the V and EP-only groups, showed significant regression of pre-existing cardiac hypertrophy. The signs of decompensated heart failure were evident in the vehicle-treated group; these heart failure parameters significantly improved with PC, EP or PC+EP therapy. The expression of PKCe, which is regulated by Ca2+ and known to stimulate cardiac hypertrophy, was significantly increased in the vehicle group, and PC, EP or PC+EP effectively decreased PKCe activation. We also observed normalization of genetic alterations during progression to heart failure with PC treatment. Conclusions: PC treatment resulted in both the regression of pre-existing cardiac hypertrophy, and the attenuation of the progression to heart failure, compared to improvement in progression to heart failure by EP alone. These beneficial findings in the heart were associated with inhibition of PKCe activation, and reversal of gene alterations. Male Dahl salt-sensitive rats (Harlan Sprague–Dawley, Somerville, NJ) were bred and fed a normal diet until 6 weeks of age. To generate pressure overload cardiac hypertrophy, they were then fed a high salt (6%NaCl) diet for the next 5 weeks. Data for baseline hypertrophic group (H) was obtained at the end of 11 weeks. Among H group animals, they were divided as follows and treated for an additional 4 weeks: 1) continuation of the HS diet with vehicle injection (H+V); 2) continuation of the HS diet with paricalcitol (19-nor-1,25-(OH)2 D2) (PC) (200ng IP 3x/wk) injection (H+PC); 3) continuation of the HS diet with low dose enalapril (EP), an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, infusion via osmotic pump and vehicle injection (H+EP+V); and 4) continuation of the HS diet with low dose EP infusion via osmotic pump and PC (200ng IP 3x/wk) injection (H+EP+PC). PC was prepared with 95% propylene glycol and 5% ethyl alcohol solution and administered three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 4 consecutive weeks. Vehicle groups received vehicle injections on the same schedule. Two groups of rats were implanted with pumps to deliver EP for 4 weeks. Since the reduction in blood pressure (BP) from high doses of EP would have effects on cardiac hypertrophy and progression to heart failure, we used low dose EP at 90ug/day, a maximum dose that did not significantly decrease BP in these rats, to study the effects of EP and PC that are independent of BP.
