Valsartan reverses post‐translational modifications of the δ‐subunit of ATP synthase during <b><i>in vivo</i></b> canine reperfused myocardial infarction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To determine whether reperfused myocardial infarction (RMI) induces PTM of the delta-subunit of the mitochondrial metabolic enzyme ATP synthase (ATP/delta) in the ischemic zone (IZ) and whether this can be reversed by the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT(1)R) blocker valsartan, we applied a pharmaco-proteomics approach in canine RMI hearts with or without valsartan pretreatment. Using the 2-DE technique, we identified differential regional expression of ATP/delta in the IZ compared to the non-ischemic zone (NIZ), with an approximately 2-fold increase in the IZ that was normalized by valsartan. Furthermore in the IZ, RMI triggered S-nitrosylation of cysteine-100, nitration of the two tyrosines 88 and 225, and hydroxylation of lysine-182 in ATP/delta followed by its myristoylation. Importantly, valsartan abolished these modifications of ATP/delta in the IZ, triggered phosphorylation of serine-76 in both the IZ and NIZ, and decreased necrosis, apoptosis, left ventricular dysfunction and remodeling. Thus, AT(1)R-blocker-induced cardioprotection during RMI is associated with phosphorylation of ATP/delta and inhibition of nitric oxide-related chemical modifications such as S-nitrosylation, nitration and hydroxylation. Targeting specific PTMs during RMI, such as those of ATP/delta with AT(1)R blockade, might be a potentially powerful novel therapeutic approach. However, the identification of S-nitrosylation was putative and requires MS/MS verification.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
