Background-In chronic heart failure, myocardial expression of the inducible isoform of nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS2) is enhanced, leading to a sustained production of NO. We postulated that NO modulates expression of genes in cardiac myocytes that may be functionally important in the context of cardiac hypertrophy and failure.Methods and Results-As revealed by cDNA expression array analyses, the NO donor SNAP, which has been shown previously to inhibit agonist-induced cardiac myocyte hypertrophy, downregulates expression of the cytoskeleton-associated muscle LIM protein (MLP) in endothelin-1 (ET-1)-stimulated neonatal rat cardiac myocytes. Northern blotting and immunoblotting experiments confirmed this finding and established that SNAP negatively controls MLP mRNA (-49%, P
