The pharmacological blockade of mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) is a potential therapeutic approach to reduce cardiovascular complications. Recent studies suggest that MR blockers affect several extrarenal tissues, including vascular function. We investigated the effects of a novel non-steroidal selective MR blocker, esaxerenone, on vascular function and atherogenesis.

Heart failure remains a major global health concern characterized by complex pathophysiological processes and significant clinical challenges. While the distinct roles of metabolic and epigenetic dysregulation in heart failure are increasingly recognized, their intricate interplay remains a critical, yet underexplored, aspect of its pathophysiology. This review provides a comprehensive examination of this metabolic-epigenetic crosstalk, exploring how metabolic changes, such as impaired fatty acid oxidation, increased glycolysis, and mitochondrial dysfunction, alter epigenetic landscapes through shifts in intermediary metabolites including acetyl-CoA, NAD+, and α-ketoglutarate.

The sarcomeric protein cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C) binds myosin on thick filaments and regulates cardiac myocyte contraction. Our lab has reported that permeabilized cardiac myocytes lacking cMyBP-C generate greater power and show disproportionately fast sarcomere shortening velocities at high loads. Also, high resolution X-ray diffraction of cardiac trabeculae found that myosin cross-bridges in the cMyBP-C zone are the most active during loaded contractions.

The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) alpha (AMPK) subunit is the catalytic subunit in the AMPK complex and includes both 1 and 2 isoforms. Phosphorylation of upstream kinases at the Thr172 site in the -subunit is critical for AMPK activation. The kinases upstream of AMPK include liver kinase B1 (LKB1), calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase (CaMKK), and transforming growth factor -activated kinase 1 (TAK1).

Cardiac hypertrophy is a common adaptation to cardiovascular stress and often a prelude to heart failure. We examined how S-palmitoylation of the small GTPase, Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1), impacts cardiomyocyte stress signaling. Mutation of the cysteine-178 palmitoylation site impaired activation of Rac1 when overexpressed in cardiomyocytes.
