Peptides influence cardiac dysfunction; however, peptidergic modulation of contractile performance remains relatively uncharacterized. We identified a novel human peptide that modulates mammalian contractile performance. Members of the FMRFamide-related peptide (FaRP) family contain a C-terminal RFamide but structurally variant N-terminal extension. We report human RFamide-related peptide-1 (hRFRP-1) and rat RFRP-1 rapidly and reversibly decreased shortening and relaxation in isolated mammalian cardiac myocytes in a dose dependent manner. The mammalian FaRP, 26RFa, structurally related to RFRP-1 by only an RFamide did not influence myocyte contractile function. The protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide-1 blocked hRFRP-1 activity. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin (PTX) did not diminish hRFRP-1 influence on contractile function. In addition, intravenous injection of hRFRP-1 in mice decreased heart rate, stroke volume, ejection fraction, and cardiac output. Collectively these findings are consistent with the conclusion RFRP-1 is an endogenous signaling molecule that activates PKC and acts through a PTX-insensitive pathway to modulate cardiac contractile function. Taken together these negative chronotropic, inotropic, and lusitropic effects of hRFRP-1 are significant; they suggest direct acute cellular and organ-level responses in mammalian heart. This is the first known study to identify a mammalian FaRP with cardio-depressant effects, opening a new area of research on peptidergic modulation of contractile performance. The high degree of RFRP structure conservation from amphibians to mammals, and similarity to invertebrate cardioinhibitory peptides suggests RFRP-1 is involved in important physiological functions. Elucidation of mechanisms involved in hRFRP-1 synthesis, release, and signaling may aid the development of strategies to prevent or attenuate cardiac dysfunction.
