Circulating S-Glutathionylated cMyBP-C as a Biomarker for Cardiac Diastolic Dysfunction
Background cMyBP-C (Cardiac myosin binding protein-C) regulates cardiac contraction and relaxation. Previously, we demonstrated that elevated myocardial S-glutathionylation of cMyBP-C correlates with diastolic dysfunction (DD) in animal models. In this study, we tested whether circulating S-glutathi...

Summary: | Background cMyBP-C (Cardiac myosin binding protein-C) regulates cardiac contraction and relaxation. Previously, we demonstrated that elevated myocardial S-glutathionylation of cMyBP-C correlates with diastolic dysfunction (DD) in animal models. In this study, we tested whether circulating S-glutathionylated cMyBP-C would be a biomarker for DD. Methods and Results Humans, African Green monkeys, and mice had DD determined by echocardiography. Blood samples were acquired and analyzed for S-glutathionylated cMyBP-C by immunoprecipitation. Circulating S-glutathionylated cMyBP-C in human participants with DD (n=24) was elevated (1.46±0.13-fold,
=0.014) when compared with the non-DD controls (n=13). Similarly, circulating S-glutathionylated cMyBP-C was upregulated by 2.13±0.47-fold (
=0.047) in DD monkeys (n=6), and by 1.49 (1.22-2.06)-fold (
=0.031) in DD mice (n=5) compared with the respective non-DD controls. Circulating S-glutathionylated cMyBP-C was positively correlated with DD in humans. Conclusions Circulating S-glutathionylated cMyBP-C was elevated in humans, monkeys, and mice with DD. S-glutathionylated cMyBP-C may represent a novel biomarker for the presence of DD. |
