| Popis: | Introduction: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by underlying contractile dysfunction and progressive myocardial fibrosis and stiffness. CK-3772271 (CK-271) is a novel small molecule cardiac myosin inhibitor that reduces cardiac myosin ATPase activity and reduces cardiac contractility in unloaded isolated cardiomyocytes in vitro and in healthy rats and dogs in vivo . The effect of chronic CK-271 treatment on cardiac function and morphology was evaluated in the Dahl/Salt Sensitive (DSS) rat hypertension model of HFpEF. Methods: DSS male rats were fed either a control low salt (LS, 0.3% NaCl) or high salt (HS, 4% NaCl) diet to induce a hypertension-driven HFpEF disease phenotype. 6 weeks after HS diet treatment, DSS rats were randomized into two sub-groups: continued HS diet or a HS diet formulated with CK-271 (100 ppm) for an additional 6 weeks. Body mass, systolic blood pressure, and cardiac function were measured longitudinally. After 12 weeks of HS treatment, hearts were collected to assess cardiac fibrosis. Results: HS diet treatment increased systolic blood pressure (LS:132.2 ± 4.7 mm Hg vs. HS: 163.5 ± 4.0 mm Hg, mean ± SEM, p< 0.001) and caused cardiac hypercontractility as evidenced by an increase in the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship (LS: 0.8 ± 0.17 vs. HS: 2.1 ± 0.46 mm Hg/ml). HS diet also increased isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) (LS: 16.8 ± 0.6 vs. HS: 22.8 ± 0.6 ms, p2 , p2 , p Conclusion: The small molecule cardiac myosin inhibitor, CK-3772271, attenuated the development of cardiac hypercontractility, diastolic dysfunction and fibrosis in the DSS rat model of HFpEF. Cardiac myosin inhibition may be a novel approach to mitigate the development of HFpEF. |
