It has been shown that the activation of estrogen receptor-β (ER-β) plays an important cardioprotective role against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, the mechanism for this protection is not clear. We hypothesize that estrogen protects by ER-β activation, which leads to S-nitrosylation (SNO) of key cardioprotective proteins. We treated ovariectomized C57BL/6J mice with an ER-β selective agonist, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-proprionitrile (DPN), 17β-estradiol (E2) or vehicle using Alzet minipumps for two weeks. Isolated hearts were Langendorff perfused and subjected to ischemia and reperfusion. Compared with vehicle-treated hearts, DPN and E2-treated hearts had significantly better post-ischemic functional recovery and decreased infarct size. To test the specificity of DPN, we treated ER-β knockout (βERKO) mice with DPN. However, no cardioprotective effect of DPN was found in βERKO mice, indicating the DPN-induced cardioprotection occurs through the activation of ER-β. Using DyLight-maleimide fluors and a modified biotin switch method, we employed a two dimensional DyLight fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2D DyLight DIGE) proteomic method to quantify differences in SNO of proteins. DPN and E2-treated hearts showed an increase in SNO of a number of proteins. Interestingly, many of these proteins had also been shown to have increased SNO in preconditioned hearts. In addition, the DPN-induced cardioprotection and increased SNO were abolished by treatment with a nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor. The activation of ER-β by DPN treatment leads to increased protein S-nitrosylation and cardioprotection against I/R injury, suggesting that chronic estrogen exposure protects hearts largely via activation of ER-β and NO/SNO signaling.
