This month on Episode 43 of Discover CircRes, guest host Nicole Purcell highlights two original research articles featured in the December 2 issue of Circulation Research. This episode also features an interview with Drs Aaron Phillips and Kevin O'Gallagher about their study, The Effect of a Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibitor on Neurovascular Regulation in Humans.   Article highlights:   Akerberg, et al. RBPMS2 Regulates RNA Splicing in Cardiomyocytes   Lv, et al. Cardiac Protection by MG53-S255A Mutant   Nicole Purcell:             Hi and welcome to Discover CircRes, the podcast of the American Heart Association's Journal, Circulation Research. I am your host, Dr Nicole Purcell, from the Huntington Medical Research Institutes in Pasadena, California, and today I will be highlighting two articles from our December 2 issue of Circulation Research. I'll also have a chat with Drs Aaron Phillips and Kevin O'Gallagher about their study, The Effect of a Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibitor on Neurovascular Regulation in Humans.   Nicole Purcell:             But before I get to the interview, here are a few article highlights. The first article we're going to highlight is RBPMS2 Is a Myocardial Enriched Splicing Regulator Required for Cardiac Function. This comes from Boston Children's Hospital with first author Dr Alexander Akerberg, and corresponding author Dr Jeffrey Burns. RNA splicing, along with transcription control and post-translational modifications, is a mechanism for fine tuning the expression of a gene for a particular purpose in a particular tissue. Factors that control splicing are thus often enriched in certain cell types. The factor, RBPMS2, for example, is enriched in the myocytes of amphibians, fish, birds and mammals.  This conserve tissue specificity suggesting essential role of RBPMS2 in heart function.   Akerberg and colleagues now confirm this is indeed the case. They generated zebra fish embryos and human cardiomyocytes lacking RBPMS2, and found the fish suffered early cardiac dysfunction by 48 hours post fertilization. The animal's hearts had reduced ejection fractions, compared with the hearts of controlled fish. At the cellular level, the RBPMS2 lacking fish cardiomyocytes displayed malformed sarcomere fibers and disrupted calcium handling, both of which were also seen in the RBPMS2 deficient human cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, RNA sequencing experiments revealed a conserve set of 29 genes in the RBPMS2-lacking fish and human cells that were incorrectly spliced. In revealing the essential cardiac role of RBPMS2 and its RNA targets, the work provides new molecular details for understanding vertebrate heart function and disease, say the team.   Nicole Purcell:             Our second article being highlighted is Blocking MG53 Serine 255 Phosphorylation Protects Diabetic Heart from Ischemic Injury. This comes from Peking University with first authors, Fengxiang L, Yingfan Wang and Dan Shan, as well as corresponding author Dr Rui-Ping Xiao. Midsegment 53, or MG53, is a recently discovered muscle-specific protein that is an essential component of the cell membrane repair machinery with cardioprotective effects. MG53 thus has therapeutic potential, but for patients whose heart disease is linked to type 2 diabetes, there's a problem. MG53 also tags certain cellular proteins for destruction, including the insulin receptor and the insulin signaling factor, IRS1. Loss of these factors could worsen insulin resistance. lev and colleagues therefore investigate whether MG53 could be tweaked to provide protection without the diabetes downside.   Nicole Purcell:             They discovered the phosphorylation of MG53 at serine 255 is required for its role in protein destruction, and that a mutant version of MG53, incapable of this phosphorylation, MG53 serine to 255 alanine mutant, could still promote cardiomyocyte survival, and protect the cells from membrane damaging insults. Importantly, when a diabetic mouse model was injected with MG53 serine 255 to alanine mutant, the protein better protected the animals against myocardial infarction than injection with the wild type MG53, recipients of which had poor insulin sensitivity. Based on these findings, the authors suggest MG53 serine 255 alanine mutant could be developed into a heart protective drug, for use in diabetic and non-diabetic patients alike.   Nicole Purcell:             Today, Dr Aaron Phillips and Dr Kevin O'Gallagher from University of Calgary are with me to discuss their study, the Effect of a Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibitor on Neurovascular Regulation in Humans in our December 2 issue of Circulation Research. Thank you for joining me today.   Kevin O'Gallagher:    Hello, my name's Dr Kevin O'Gallagher. I'm a British Heart Foundation clinician scientist and interventional cardiologist at Kings College London and Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.   Aaron Phillips:            Hello, my name's Dr Aaron Phillips. I'm an associate professor in physiology, pharmacology, cardiac sciences, biomedical engineering and clinical neurosciences at the University of Calgary in the Hotchkiss Brain Institute and Libin Cardiovascular Institute. I am also the director of the Restore Network, which is a large platform at the University of Calgary spanning all these groups, developing new tools and techniques for translational research into neurological conditions.   Nicole Purcell:            There are a lot of authors involved in this study. While all could not join us, I appreciate you taking the time to discuss your findings today. Your paper deals with looking at neurovascular control in humans. Two primary regulatory pathways are neurovascular coupling, or NVC, and dynamic cerebral autoregulation. Dr Phillips, can you explain what NVC to our audience, and what does dysregulation lead to?   Aaron Phillips:            Yeah, thanks Nicole and I'm happy to be here. Thank you for the invitation. NVC, or neurovascular coupling, we've been studying it for about 15 years. At its fundamental level, it's kind of this elegant interplay between neurons, which unfortunately have very limited capacity for substrate storage. The brain has very limited substrate storage capacity, and so neurons need to very rapidly match their metabolic activity to the blood flow that's being delivered to them, and that needs to happen locally, for areas of the brain that have greater metabolic needs as opposed to other areas.   What happens, in terms of dysregulation or conditions that are associated with dysregulation, it's an interesting story because we still really need to understand the mechanisms fully, in order to suss out what clinical conditions should have dysfunction of this unit. We know that certain conditions, such as vascular cognitive impairment, even spinal cord injury, we've done some work in stroke patients, it seems to be dysfunctional in all of these conditions, but understanding exactly why it's dysfunctional, we're still establishing that.   Nicole Purcell:             Great. You were talking about how it's the connection or interplay between blood flow, so we're talking about altered blood pressure seems to play a key role in neurovascular coupling. So, for those listeners not familiar with this field, can you explain how nitric oxide synthase and its isoforms, how this relates to NVC?   Aaron Phillips:            Well, nitric oxide synthase is an enzyme that produces nitric oxide that's expressed primarily in neurons. Nitric oxide is a powerful vasodilator. It actually works on quite a rapid time course. So, we surmised, we suspected, and there were some preclinical work before our human study, that neuronal sources of nitric oxide, being that nitric oxide is a potent vasodilator, we thought that would be likely to be mediating a large part of the neurovascular coupling response.   Nicole Purcell:             Great. So, Dr O'Gallagher, based on that, what was your main objective or hypothesis of this study, and how is your study novel from those that have already just suggested, looked at NOS regulation for cerebral blood flow?   Kevin O'Gallagher:    Thanks very much for the invite to talk. I mean, we hypothesized that nNOS would have a role in regulating neurovascular coupling. I think the novelty of our study is that although people have been interested in NOS and its regulation of cerebral vascular and cardiovascular blood flow, it's only relatively recently that there has become an agent available that will specifically inhibit nNOS, and therefore give us an idea of what it is doing, rather than previous inhibitors which just inhibit all of the three NOS isoforms. It was really that the development of the agent was what allowed us to do this study. I think it was really through that, that makes this an interesting finding that nNOS does play a role in neurovascular coupling, and really pushes the field forward ever so slightly.   Nicole Purcell:             Great. So, as you pointed out, this is a specific nNOS inhibitor, which is known as SMTC. It's a synthetic L-Arginine analog, right? That's really what sets your study apart. Can you tell us a little bit the audience, whether that be you, Dr Phillips or Dr O'Gallagher, about what your study was and what did you find, and how did an ambition of using this SMTC to inhibit nNOS affect systemic hemodynamic changes and NVC?   Aaron Phillips:            Yeah, I think both of us can probably speak to this interchangeably and add in different elements of the experiment. This is kind of a summary of the study, I guess. In advance of this, adding on what Kevin had just said in terms of the novelty of the study and the importance, we had done a lot of work previous to this paper where we were one of the groups that helped establish neurovascular coupling as a measure that could be tested in humans. This involved kind of understanding metabolism of the eye, how that's coupled to the visual cortex, and how to measure blood flow on a high temporal resolution in the visual cortex in response to visual input. That's why we used very well standardized perturbations involving tracking an eye, tracking a dot on a screen at a known one rate and a known one amplitude of movement, while also measuring the hyperemic response in the posterior brain.   Then we kind of went on and developed some new measures, developed some software that we're now proud is used in a few different labs around the world, that kind of automatically takes that input of repetitive eyes opening and closing and that hyperemic response, and it breaks it down into a single wave form. A single hyperemic response is superimposed of 10, 15, 20 cycles of those eyes open and eyes closed, and then when we superimpose all the wave forms together, we can generate different metrics from that hyperemic response that correspond to different elements.   One of the ways where software can, I guess dice out the hyperemic response, is by timing. We can look at very specific unique time windows over that 30 seconds of eyes open, and we can also look at the slope of the response, as well as we recently did some dimensionality reduction techniques and looked at specific computed measures of that hyperemic response. We published that a few years ago. Those were some of the tools that enabled this study, along with a fantastically unique drug that really could isolate that neuron expression of NOS and the capacity of nNOS to mediate neurovascular coupling.   Kevin O'Gallagher:    Obviously, we're going to use a systemic infusion of SMTC, the study drug, and we've used that before and shown it to be safe. But because a systemic infusion of SMTC through peripheral and systemic nNOS inhibition does cause an increase in systemic vascular resistance, and therefore an increase in mean arterial pressure of around about 7 mm of mercury, in addition to a cline placebo control condition, we also felt the need to have a pressure control condition. For that, we used phenylephrine to match the rise in mean arterial pressure that we anticipated we'd see with SMTC. We ended up with 12 healthy volunteers who attended on three separate visits, and so we had a party randomized double blinded intervention study where we measured the neurovascular coupling metrics, both before and after an infusion of one of the three conditions on each particular visit.   Aaron Phillips:            I just wanted to add into that, we had found previously that mean arterial pressure does have an effect on the hyperemic response. This was actually classically found by 1960s by Harper and Glass in a dog study, but we've repeated that in humans and kind of found that the ability of the brain to kind of... It's reserve for further vasodilation is dependent on pressure. As you drop it, neurovascular coupling will go away, and as you increase it, neurovascular coupling will increase partially, so it's important to standardize the mean arterial pressure levels. I always liken it to your water pressure in your house. You can't turn on a faucet with a given pressure unless you have that in the system upstream. That was a really important aspect of the study.   Nicole Purcell:             That was quite unique for your study, too. Not a lot of people have control for pressure.   Aaron Phillips:            Correct.     Kevin O'Gallagher:    I think it reflects the challenges of these healthy volunteer studies where you're trying to look at one particular part of the cardiovascular system, because as a cardiologist, if we were doing a study like this, looking at cardiovascular regulation, we would put a catheter into the coronary arteries in patients who had come for angiograms, and we'd give a local infusion of SMTC, as we've done in studies before. But with healthy volunteers, and ethically it really demanded a systemic infusion, so it was a really nice workaround to have that pressure control condition.   Nicole Purcell:             So, can you tell us a little bit about what your findings were?   Kevin O'Gallagher:    I think testament to the study design and the rigorous methodology that we employed, we did find with the resting steady state hemodynamics that SMTC condition performed as we would expect, and as we've seen in prior studies where we've given a systemic dose in that compared to both placebo and pressure control conditions, SMTC decreased cardiac output, and it decreased stroke volume, and also increased systemic vascular resistance, so very much as expected the resting hemodynamic conditions.   Aaron Phillips:            Yeah, thanks. Just adding onto that, moving on into some of the cerebral vascular measures. So again, we were measuring posterior cerebral artery velocity, blood velocity and specific responsiveness that it has to a visual stimuli. Between conditions, we didn't see a change in resting posterior cerebral artery velocity, so that was consistent between the conditions. Where we saw most of our change actually was in this very early period, the first five seconds of what we're going to call the hyperemic response, or the first five seconds of the neurovascular coupling response. That's where we saw our primary effect. We didn't see an effect in almost any of the neurovascular coupling measures that we generated in the actual sustained period after that initial rise, so that's where we saw our key inhibition with nNOS inhibition. What permitted that was the phenylephrine control group, again, allowing us to really look at apples and apples, not apples and oranges.   Nicole Purcell:             Great. So that early transient change that you saw, that as you said, hyperemic response, what therapeutic implications does this have for the field?   Kevin O'Gallagher:    Well, certainly there are conditions in which nNOS dysfunction, nNOS may be implicated, we mentioned a couple in the paper, some neurodegenerative diseases. But also, I think the field is now open for any vascular mediated headache syndrome, such as migraine, to investigate the potential role of nNOS from that angle. Then we haven't touched on already, but as well as dysfunctional, so decreased nNOS activity, there's also some conditions in which there's dysregulation or abnormally increased nNOS function. Again, we've highlighted this kind of study methodology is a tool that could be used to investigate those types of conditions.   Aaron Phillips:            These are all terrific points, and I think there's a lot of conditions where neurovascular coupling is impaired, and it's worth exploring them and understanding the specific role where nNOS might be a part of it. I also think there's a lot of interesting basic science surrounding this, in terms of the mechanisms. What was really interesting in this study, which is still kind of wracking my brain, is why didn't more of the neurovascular coupling response go away? This is a highly selective inhibitor for what was potentially thought by some groups to be a large mediator, this response. It was a relatively small inhibitory effect, and isolated to a small part of the neurovascular coupling response, just that early phase. So, still lots of work to do to kind of dice out the other pathways. They're probably highly redundant. This is such a critical mechanism in the central nervous system. Getting at it and humans is going to be tricky, but we're excited about the future and exploring some of those other avenues on the mechanistic cascade.   Nicole Purcell:             Based on the fact that you just had 12 healthy individuals, what do you see as some of the limitations of your study going forward, thinking about what you did?   Kevin O'Gallagher:    I think you've just hit on a key limitation. It was a small number of volunteers. They were all healthy, so we can't extrapolate these findings to conditions such as hypertension, where we know from other studies that cardiovascular responses, nNOS responses are impaired Also, this was a noninvasive study. We looked at the blood flow through Doppler, but we don't really know the effect of SMTC on cerebral artery diameter or other markers like that, so I think those are important limitations to mention.   Nicole Purcell:             I know I didn't ask this, and I know it was mentioned in the paper, but for our audience, and it was a small sample size, but did you see any sex differences between your male and female cohort?   Kevin O'Gallagher:    No. We did analyze for that and there were no sex differences. But again, it's an important limitation in that we didn't control for things like phase of the menstrual cycle. And again, with those limitations, all the results should be interpreted with those in mind.   Nicole Purcell:             Were there any challenges to the study that you found?   Kevin O'Gallagher:    I work in London in the UK, where we performed this study related protocols, and Professor Phillips from University of Calgary, his team flew over to perform the studies. I think there was a real organizational challenge because we had a relatively small time window in which to get all of the volunteers and their three study visits done. But I think it's testament to just how well Professor Phillips runs his team, and how fantastic a team they are in working together that all of those challenges were minimized and everything. It ran fairly smoothly, and certainly, the data was connected back in early 2020. I think we all retrospectively breathed a sigh of relief when the Covid pandemic started and we realized that had we had to reschedule another set of visits, we would've then knocked the study back a couple of years. So yeah, there were organizational challenges, but it was an absolute pleasure to work with Professor Phillips's and his team in this.   Aaron Phillips:            To add to that, I mean, it's not really related to necessarily the challenges, but I was going to list kind of the exact same thing. In the background. Kevin, and Professor Shaw, and Dr Gallagher were a tour de force on organizing quite a complicated study that involves some invasive protocols and unique experimental drug infusion. Getting all of that ethically approved, and organized, and structured, that was probably one of the biggest challenges of pulling this study off. Nicole Purcell:            Great. It was a very nice study. So lastly, what future studies are needed or have come out of this work that you'd like to tell us about?   Aaron Phillips:            Mechanistically, I would still like to explore why nNOS inhibition doesn't seem to affect the sustained elevation in blood flow. This maybe means going back to some of the astrocyte mediated mechanisms, and understanding knocking out, knocking in, exploring some of those. I'd also like to continue to study the neurovascular cupping response itself in clinical conditions. This may be a tool for helping to characterize the severity of a given neurovascular condition over time, and kind of validating this outcome measure as potentially a clinical tool and further expanding its research application.   Kevin O'Gallagher:    I would just add to that, that I tend to come to all of these things from a cardiologist light, and there are some conditions in cardiology where the microvascular is involved, and so the interest is then to see whether there's a linkage between the dysfunctional coronary microvascular responses with then cerebral microvascular responses. So again, I think there's plenty of future work to be done in that sphere.   Nicole Purcell:             Well, I want to thank you so much for joining me today, Dr Kevin O'Gallagher and Dr Aaron Phillips, for discussing your exciting findings with me today, and I look forward to seeing your future work.

Is it real thing in humans? 3a. Does higher protein intake lead to faster aging? Does it depend on particular amino acids (methionine etc.)? 3b. What is optimal for longevity regarding protein intake? My theory is that theoretically it would be best to restrict proteins in adulthood and then increase protein intake in older age because of sarcopenia and anabolic resistance. 4) Does leucine/animal source matter opposing to, for example, plant based protein intake only, when enough daily protein is consumed? (new paradigm in protein science?) Ending Thank you for your time, Professor Phillips. We are honored to be able to learn from such a world class scientist.

Key Takeaways Aging usually leads to a loss of skeletal muscle. That’s why it’s important to start building and maintaining it before it becomes a problem. Getting enough protein and exercising regularly will accomplish this and set you up to live better into old age.  There is no single best way to build and maintain muscle with exercise. Whether using heavy or light weights, the muscle fibers can still get the use they need to stay strong. The important thing is consistency.   It’s no secret that muscle mass decreases with age. Maintaining it is one of the central elements of longevity. Even though muscle loss mostly affects the elderly, preventive action needs to take place as early as age thirty.   About Stuart Phillips, PhD Stuart Phillips is a professor in the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster University. As a Tier 1 Canadian research chair in skeletal-muscular health, director of the McMaster Centre for Nutrition, Exercise and Health Research, and the director of PACE, Professor Phillips has published nearly 500 research pieces. He is a true expert in how exercise and protein affect skeletal muscle.   The Importance of Protein Professor Phillips knows the importance of protein. In fact, as we age, our protein requirements increase. Just including proteins in your diet is only part of the picture. Professor Phillips describes the importance of what sources of protein to eat and when to eat it. A protein-rich breakfast is a great way to start the day. Furthermore, animal-based proteins are easier for your body to synthesize.   The Role of Exercise Protein and nutrition are not enough to maintain muscle mass. Exercise is a crucial element too. When it comes to losing weight ad staging strong, exercise is the key ingredient. However, a protein-dense diet can aid in weight loss. That’s because you’ll get the nutrients that you need without excess calories. How do protein and exercise shape your health?

Welcome back, everyone! I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend and got a chance to soak up some sun, get some vitamin D, see friends and family, and eat some glorious meats. I know I did.  If you're new to this podcast, I’m Brian Sanders and I'm making a film called Food Lies that goes to the beginning of human history to find out what we should be eating. We go through all the bad science that has led us astray, the new science that vindicates ancestral eating, and we even get into how we can eat meat in a not only sustainable way, but one that it is regenerative to the environment. All of these topics have been covered in the now 84 episodes of this podcast, so please start back at episode 1. Today I’m talking to Professor Stu Phillips who is one of the world’s leading authorities on protein and muscle science. He shares vital information in this interview on long term health, short term health such as fat loss and muscle gain, as well as combating the multitude of protein myths out there. Professor Phillips is the director of the Physical Activity Centre of Excellence (PACE), director of the  McMaster Centre for Nutrition, Exercise, and Health Research, and a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Skeletal Muscle Health in Aging. In addition to being a full Professor in Kinesiology, also Graduate Faculty in the School of Medicine at McMaster University. He is a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (FCAHS), American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American College of Nutrition (ACN). His research is focused on the impact of nutrition and exercise on the mechanisms of human skeletal muscle protein turnover. He is also keenly interested in diet- and exercise-induced changes in body composition particularly in older persons. While we’re on the topic of protein we all know the best sources are from grass finished, well-raised animals. Luckily that’s what we specialize in at http://NoseToTail.org that’s a little typographical humor for you there. You can get our extra-nutritious meat from our family farm in Texas delivered to your door as long as you're in the 48 contiguous United States. Our signature product is the Primal ground beef which includes liver, heart, kidney, and spleen, all without the hassle of incorporating them yourself. It also tastes great. I like to add a little seasoning to mine, but even if you don’t, it just tastes like a richer beef flavor. We have boxes that include a variety of cuts including the primal beef, sausage, beef bacon, and our premium boxes include bone meal for calcium (which you can add into the ground beef or use in bone broth), sardines (for more calcium and magnesium, among other things), and whole cod liver pieces in cod liver oil for vitamin A, D, and others. This is the full nutrient spectrum here! You even get marrow bones. Check out our great meats that are also great for the land at http://NoseToTail.org while supplies last. We’re still selling out each week so check in often! And now please get your steak ready for this protein info extravaganza with Professor Stuart Philips.   BUY THE MEAT! http://NosetoTail.org Support me on Patreon: http://patreon.com/peakhuman  Food Lies film: http://FoodLies.org   SHOW NOTES [6:50] Why protein is important for fat loss.  [8:00] How protein makes you feel full.  [12:20] Thermic effect of protein.

Protein expert & research scientist, Prof. Stuart Phillips, is today's guest interview. Professor Phillips shares with us the basics of daily protein requirement that we all need to eat for optimal human health. He helps to explain how much protein we need to eat to help minimise the loss of muscle as we age, called sarcopenia, which is especially important for the elderly. We also go into busting the myths like protein causes kidney damage or makes you too acidic. We then find out about some of the mistakes Prof Phillips sees when people eat a keto or low carb diet to lose weight and don't eat enough protein so they loss muscle weight and not just excess body fat.

Some of the things we discuss are:  1.What is sarcopenia and what causes it? 2.When do we start to see age-related declines in muscle mass and how much muscle mass can potentially be lost annually? 3.What type of exercise can be beneficial and easy to perform for elderly people? 4.Do you feel that the RDA of 0.8 g/kg is set to low and if so, what would be more optimal to aim for? 5.Could you explain what “anabolic resistance” is? 6.Why is it important to not only focus on total amount of protein per day, but also protein amount per meal, distribution and protein quality? 7.What is your take home message?

Professor Anne Phillips delivers the annual Paul Hirst Memorial Lecture at Birkbeck College, 10 February 2016. In ‘On Humanity in Dark Times’, Hannah Arendt questions the limitations of a humanism that pretends to a commonality while evading the reality of a ‘world become inhuman’. Anne Phillips takes this as a starting point for an exploration of the notion of the human. Though the assertion of our common humanity remains a powerful ethical and political ideal, it too often involves either a substantive account of what it is to be human that then becomes the basis for gradations, or else a stripped down contentless account that denies important differences. Professor Phillips argues that we need to think of the human, rather, as an enactment of and commitment to equality. Anne Phillips is Graham Wallas Professor of Political Science and Professor of Political and Gender Theory at the London School of Economics. Her work has been influential in questioning liberal positions in contemporary political thought, and provides important insights into feminist theory and politics, democracy, equality, multiculturalism, and difference. She is the author of Engendering Democracy (Polity, 1991), The Politics of Presence (Clarendon Press, 1995), Which Equalities Matter (Polity, 1999), Multiculturalism without Culture (Princeton University Press, 2007), and Our Bodies, Whose Property?
