A novel designer natriuretic peptide CD-NP suppresses TGF-beta 1 induced collagen Type I production in human cardiac fibroblasts

چکیده
Background TGF-beta 1 (TGF), is one of the potent profibrotic factors which plays a fundamental role in myocardial remodeling. Cardiac fibrosis results from excessive deposition of extracellular matrix including collagen type I (Col I) which is mainly produced by cardiac fibroblasts. CD-NP is a novel engineered designer natriuretic peptide (NP) which consists of the ring structure of human C-type NP (CNP) and the C-terminal tail of Dendroaspis NP (DNP). This unique chimeric represents the first dual particulate gaunylyl cyclase receptor activator known to co-activate both natriuretic peptide receptor (NPR)-A and NPR-B. Previously we reported that CD-NP stimulates the production of the NPR-A/B and the second messenger cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in human cardiac fibroblasts (CFs). Here we hypothesized that CD-NP would suppress Col I expression stimulated by TGF in CFs.

This study tested the hypothesis that activation of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)/cGMP/protein kinase G signaling inhibits transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1-induced extracellular matrix expression in cardiac fibroblasts and defined the specific site(s) at which this molecular merging of signaling pathways occurs. Left ventricular hypertrophy and fibrosis, collagen deposition, and myofib...

OBJECTIVES Our aim was to design, synthesize and test in vivo and in vitro a new chimeric peptide that would combine the beneficial properties of 2 distinct natriuretic peptides with a biological profile that goes beyond native peptides. BACKGROUND Studies have established the beneficial vascular and antiproliferative properties of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). While lacking renal actions...

Cenderitide, also known as CD-NP, is a designer peptide developed by combining native mammalian c-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) and the C-terminus isolated from the dendroapis natriuretic peptide (DNP) of the venom from the green mamba. In early studies, intravenous and subcutaneous infusion of cenderitide was reported to reduce left ventricular (LV) mass and ameliorate cardiac remodelling. In...

The aim of the present study was to elucidate how transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) can stimulate collagen deposition in cardiac tissue by interstitial cells via stimulation of fibroblasts, via myofibroblasts, or via differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts. The dose- and time-dependent stimulation of collagen production and of expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alp...

Background Cenderitide, also known as CD-NP, is a novel Mayo engineered designer natriuretic peptide (NP), which unlike native ANP, BNP and CNP co-activates both the guanylyl (GC)-A receptor to which ANP and BNP bind and GC-B to which CNP binds. Recognizing the aldosterone suppressing actions of GC-A activation and the potent inhibition of collagen synthesis and proliferation on fibroblasts to ...
