Excess signaling through cardiac Gβγ subunits is an important component of heart failure (HF) pathophysiology. They recruit elevated levels of cytosolic G-protein coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) to agonist-stimulated β-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs) in HF, leading to chronic β-AR desensitization and down-regulation; these events are all hallmarks of HF. Previous data suggested that inhibiting Gβγ signaling and its interaction with GRK2 could be of therapeutic value in HF. To investigate small molecule Gβγ inhibition in HF. We recently described novel small molecule Gβγ inhibitors that selectively block Gβγ binding interactions, including M119 and its highly related analog, gallein. These compounds blocked interaction of Gβγ and GRK2 in vitro and in HL60 cells. Here, we show they reduced β-AR-mediated membrane recruitment of GRK2 in isolated adult mouse cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, M119 enhanced both adenylyl cyclase activity and cardiomyocyte contractility in response to β-AR agonist. To evaluate their cardiac-specific effects in vivo, we initially utilized an acute pharmacologic HF model (30 mg/kg/day isoproterenol, 7 days). Concurrent daily injections prevented HF, and partially normalized cardiac morphology and GRK2 expression in this acute HF model. To investigate possible efficacy in halting progression of pre-existing HF, calsequestrin cardiac transgenic mice (CSQ) with extant HF received daily injections for 28 days. The compound alone halted HF progression, and partially normalized heart size, morphology and cardiac expression of HF marker genes (GRK2, ANF and β-MHC). These data suggest a promising therapeutic role for small molecule inhibition of pathologic Gβγ signaling in the treatment of HF.
