  • Exogenous Nitric Oxide Inhibits Rho-Associated Kinase Activity in Patients with Angina Pectoris: a Randomized Controlled Trial
    Hypertension Research (2015) 38, 485–490 & 2015 The Japanese Society of Hypertension All rights reserved 0916-9636/15 www.nature.com/hr ORIGINAL ARTICLE Exogenous nitric oxide inhibits Rho-associated kinase activity in patients with angina pectoris: a randomized controlled trial Tatsuya Maruhashi1,5, Kensuke Noma2,5, Noritaka Fujimura1, Masato Kajikawa1, Takeshi Matsumoto1, Takayuki Hidaka1, Ayumu Nakashima3, Yasuki Kihara1, James K Liao4 and Yukihito Higashi2 The RhoA/Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) pathway has a key physiological role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Increased ROCK activity is associated with cardiovascular diseases. Endogenous nitric oxide (NO) has an anti-atherosclerotic effect, whereas the exogenous NO-mediated cardiovascular effect still remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of exogenous NO on ROCK activity in patients with angina pectoris. This is a prospective, open-label, randomized, controlled study. A total of 30 patients with angina pectoris were randomly assigned to receive 40 mg day − 1 of isosorbide mononitrate (n = 15, 12 men and 3 women, mean age of 63 ± 12 years, isosorbide mononitrate group) or conventional treatment (n = 15, 13 men and 2 women, mean age of 64 ± 13 years, control group) for 12 weeks. ROCK activity in peripheral leukocytes was measured by western blot analysis. ROCK activities at 4 and 12 weeks after treatment were decreased in the isosorbide mononitrate group (0.82 ± 0.33 at 0 week, 0.62 ± 0.20 at 4 weeks, 0.61 ± 0.19 at 12 weeks, n = 15 in each group, Po0.05, respectively) but not altered in the control group. ROCK1 and ROCK2 expression levels were similar in all treatment periods in the two groups.
