Coronary vasospasm induced in transgenic mouse with increased phospholipase C-δ1 activity.

چکیده
BACKGROUND We reported that phospholipase C (PLC)-δ1 activity was enhanced 3-fold in patients with coronary spastic angina. We detected variant PLC-δ1 with replacement of arginine 257 by histidine (R257H) showing increased enzymatic activity. We tested the hypothesis that increased PLC-δ1 activity causes enhanced coronary vasomotility. METHODS AND RESULTS We generated transgenic (TG) mice with human R257H variant PLC-δ1 in vascular smooth muscle cells. PLC enzymatic activity in the coronary artery was increased by 2.57 and 1.89 times, respectively, in homozygous and heterozygous TG compared with wild-type (WT) mice. ST elevation after ergometrine occurred in 17 of 18 homozygous TG, 6 of 20 heterozygous TG, and 3 of 22 WT mice (P<0.01, homozygous TG versus WT; P<0.05, homozygous TG versus heterozygous TG; P=NS, heterozygous TG versus WT). ST elevation was associated with bradyarrhythmias in homozygous TG mice. Focal coronary artery narrowing was documented with the microvascular filling technique in 3 of 5 homozygous TG mice after ergometrine but not in any of 7 WT mice (P<0.05). In the isolated Langendorff hearts, coronary perfusion pressure was increased after ergometrine in homozygous TG mice (P<0.01) but not in heterozygous TG or WT mice. Coronary perfusion pressure increase after prostaglandin F2α was similar among homozygous TG, heterozygous TG, and WT mice. Cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells transfected with variant PLC-δ1 showed a higher PLC activity than those with WT PLC-δ1 (P<0.05) and furthermore showed greater intracellular Ca2+ response to acetylcholine in variant than in WT PLC-δ1 (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Increased PLC-δ1 activity enhances coronary vasomotility such as that seen in patients with coronary spastic angina.

Enhanced p122RhoGAP/DLC-1 Expression Can Be a Cause of Coronary Spasm
BACKGROUND We previously showed that phospholipase C (PLC)-δ1 activity was enhanced by 3-fold in patients with coronary spastic angina (CSA). We also reported that p122Rho GTPase-activating protein/deleted in liver cancer-1 (p122RhoGAP/DLC-1) protein, which was discovered as a PLC-δ1 stimulator, was upregulated in CSA patients. We tested the hypothesis that p122RhoGAP/DLC-1 overexpression cause...
متن کاملp122 protein enhances intracellular calcium increase to acetylcholine: its possible role in the pathogenesis of coronary spastic angina.
OBJECTIVE Phospholipase C-δ1 activity is enhanced in patients with coronary artery spasm, and a p122 protein was recently cloned to potentiate phospholipase C-δ1 activity. To investigate the role of p122 in enhanced vasomotility, we examined p122 expression in the cultured skin fibroblasts obtained from patients with and without coronary spasm, intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) [co...
متن کاملChanges in sarcolemmal PLC isoenzymes in postinfarct congestive heart failure: partial correction by imidapril.
We have examined the changes in quantity and activity of cardiac sarcolemmal (SL) phosphoinositide-phospholipase C (PLC)-β1, -γ1, and -δ1 in a model of congestive heart failure (CHF) secondary to large transmural myocardial infarction (MI). We also instituted a late in vivo monotherapy with imidapril, an ANG-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, to test the hypothesis that its therapeutic action i...
متن کاملO-15: Reduced Fertilization After ICSI and Abnormal Phospholipase C Zeta Presence in Spermatozoa from the Wobbler Mouse
Background: Failed fertilization after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) can be due to a reduced oocyte-activation capacity caused by reduced concentrations and abnormal localization of the oocyte-activation factor phospholipase C (PLC) zeta. Patients with this condition can be helped to conceive by artificial activation of oocytes after ICSI with calcium ionophore (assisted oocyte activa...
