چکیده

Although Ca/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase-II (CaMK) is known to phosphorylate different Ca cycling proteins in the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and regulate its function, the status of CaMK in heart failure has not been investigated previously. In this study, we examined the hypothesis that changes in the CaMK-mediated phosphorylation of the SR Ca cycling proteins are associated with heart failure. For this purpose, heart failure in rats was induced by occluding the coronary artery for 8 weeks, and animals with .30% infarct of the left ventricle wall plus septum mass were used. Noninfarcted left ventricle was used for biochemical assessment; sham-operated animals served as control. A significant depression in SR Ca uptake and release activities was associated with a decrease in SR CaMK phosphorylation of the SR proteins, ryanodine receptor (RyR), Ca pump ATPase (SR/endoplasmic reticulum Ca ATPase [SERCA2a]), and phospholamban (PLB) in the failing heart. The SR protein contents for RyR, SERCA2a, and PLB were decreased in the failing hearts. Although the SR Ca/calmodulin-dependent CaMK activity, CaMK content, and CaMK autophosphorylation were depressed, the SR phosphatase activity was enhanced in the failing heart. On the other hand, the cAMP-dependent protein kinase–mediated phosphorylation of RyR and PLB was not affected in the failing heart. On the basis of these results, we conclude that alterations in SR CaMK-mediated phosphorylation may be partly responsible for impaired SR function in heart failure. (Circ Res. 2000;86:596-605.)

Ryanodine receptor phosphorylation by calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II promotes life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias in mice with heart failure.

BACKGROUND approximately half of patients with heart failure die suddenly as a result of ventricular arrhythmias. Although abnormal Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum through ryanodine receptors (RyR2) has been linked to arrhythmogenesis, the molecular mechanisms triggering release of arrhythmogenic Ca(2+) remain unknown. We tested the hypothesis that increased RyR2 phosphorylation ...

Targeted Inhibition of Ca /Calmodulin-dependent Protein Kinase II in Cardiac Longitudinal Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Results in Decreased Phospholamban Phosphorylation at Threonine 17*

To investigate the role of Ca /calmodulin-dependent kinase II in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum function, transgenic mice were designed and generated to target the expression of a Ca /calmodulin-dependent kinase II inhibitory peptide in cardiac longitudinal sarcoplasmic reticulum using a truncated phospholamban transmembrane domain. The expressed inhibitory peptide was highly concentrated in ca...

Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase modulates cardiac ryanodine receptor phosphorylation and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ leak in heart failure.

Abnormal release of Ca from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) may contribute to contractile dysfunction and arrhythmogenesis in heart failure (HF). We previously demonstrated decreased Ca transient amplitude and SR Ca load associated with increased Na/Ca exchanger expression and enhanced diastolic SR Ca leak in an arrhythmogenic rabbit model of nonischemic HF...

Although the effects and the underlying mechanism of sympathetic stimulation on cardiac Ca handling are relatively well established both in health and disease, the modes of action and mechanisms of parasympathetic modulation are poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that parasympathetic stimulation initiates a novel mode of excitation-contraction coupling that enhances the efficiency of cardiac ...
