Nitric Oxide Regulation of Myocardial Contractility and Calcium Cycling: Independent Impact of Neuronal and Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthases

ABSTRACT—The mechanisms by which nitric oxide (NO) influences myocardial Ca cycling remain controversial. Because NO synthases (NOS) have specific spatial localization in cardiac myocytes, we hypothesized that neuronal NOS (NOS1) found in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) preferentially regulates...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT—The mechanisms by which nitric oxide (NO) influences myocardial Ca cycling remain controversial. Because NO synthases (NOS) have specific spatial localization in cardiac myocytes, we hypothesized that neuronal NOS (NOS1) found in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) preferentially regulates SR Ca release and reuptake resulting in potentiation of the cardiac force-frequency response (FFR). Transesophageal pacing (660 to 840 bpm) in intact C57Bl/6 mice (WT) stimulated both contractility (dP/dtmax normalized to end-diastolic volume; dP/dt-EDV) by 51±5% (P
