OBJECTIVE: There is emerging evidence from animal studies suggesting a key role for methylation in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension. However, to date, very few studies have investigated the role of methylation in the development of human hypertension, and none has taken a genome-wide approach. Based on the recent studies that highlight the involvement of inflammation in the development of hypertension, we hypothesize that changes in DNA methylation of leukocytes are involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension.

METHOD & RESULTS: We conducted a genome-wide methylation analysis on 8 hypertensive cases and 8 normotensive age-matched controls aged 14-23 years and performed …

Presented at ACC Mid-Atlantic conference in Washington DC.

INTRODUCTION/HYPOTHESIS

•Adverse cardiac remodeling and fibrosis provide an arrhythmic substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF), but the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) as a biomarker is not well understood. MMPs are zinc-dependent endopeptidases known to degrade substrates such as elastin, gelatin and collagen.

•In excised human atrial tissue, MMP 2 and 9 levels rise as the AF burden increases from sinus rhythm (“No AF”) to non-permanent AF (“Non-Prm AF”) to permanent AF (“PrmAF”). Higher plasma levels of MMPs are also associated with recurrent AF after cardioversion.

•This study sought to elucidate 1) the …

BACKGROUND: G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) is a primary regulator of β-adrenergic signaling in the heart. G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 ablation impedes heart failure development, but elucidation of the cellular mechanisms has not been achieved, and such elucidation is the aim of this study.

METHODS AND RESULTS: Myocyte contractility, Ca(2+) handling and excitation-contraction coupling were studied in isolated cardiomyocytes from wild-type and GRK2 knockout (GRK2KO) mice without (sham) or with myocardial infarction (MI). In cardiac myocytes isolated from unstressed wild-type and GRK2KO hearts, myocyte contractions and Ca(2+) transients were similar, but GRK2KO myocytes had lower sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) content …
