ABSTRACT
Modulation of sarcomere contractility represents a new therapeutic opportunity for the treatment of heart failure by directly targeting the thick and thin filament proteins of the sarcomere to increase cardiac muscle contraction. This study compared the effect of 2 small molecules (M and T) that selectively alter myosin thick filament (M) or troponin thin filament (T) activity on overall cardiac muscle mechanics. This study revealed key differences related to the mechanism utilized by M and T to increase contractile force generation and suggests that targeting different proteins within the sarcomere may result in differentiating therapeutic profiles.
