چکیده
BACKGROUND Aberrant Ca2+ handling is a prominent feature of heart failure. Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms responsible for aberrant Ca2+ handling is essential for the development of strategies to blunt pathological changes in calcium dynamics. The peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase peptidyl-prolyl isomerase 1 (Pin1) is a critical mediator of myocardial hypertrophy development and cardiac progenitor cell cycle. However, the influence of Pin1 on calcium cycling regulation has not been explored. On the basis of these findings, the aim of this study is to define Pin1 as a novel modulator of Ca2+ handling, with implications for improving myocardial contractility and potential for ameliorating development of heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS Pin1 gene deletion or pharmacological inhibition delays cytosolic Ca2+ decay in isolated cardiomyocytes. Paradoxically, reduced Pin1 activity correlates with increased sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA2a) and Na2+/Ca2+ exchanger 1 protein levels. However, SERCA2a ATPase activity and calcium reuptake were reduced in sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes isolated from Pin1-deficient hearts, suggesting that Pin1 influences SERCA2a function. SERCA2a and Na2+/Ca2+ exchanger 1 associated with Pin1, as revealed by proximity ligation assay in myocardial tissue sections, indicating that regulation of Ca2+ handling within cardiomyocytes is likely influenced through Pin1 interaction with SERCA2a and Na2+/Ca2+ exchanger 1 proteins. CONCLUSIONS Pin1 serves as a modulator of SERCA2a and Na2+/Ca2+ exchanger 1 Ca2+ handling proteins, with loss of function resulting in impaired cardiomyocyte relaxation, setting the stage for subsequent investigations to assess Pin1 dysregulation and modulation in the progression of heart failure.

متن کاملAerobic exercise training improves skeletal muscle function and Ca2+ handling-related protein expression in sympathetic hyperactivity-induced heart failure.
The cellular mechanisms of positive effects associated with aerobic exercise training on overall intrinsic skeletal muscle changes in heart failure (HF) remain unclear. We investigated potential Ca2+ abnormalities in skeletal muscles comprising different fiber compositions and investigated whether aerobic exercise training would improve muscle function in a genetic model of sympathetic hyperact...
متن کاملSodium/calcium exchange: its physiological implications.
The Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, an ion transport protein, is expressed in the plasma membrane (PM) of virtually all animal cells. It extrudes Ca2+ in parallel with the PM ATP-driven Ca2+ pump. As a reversible transporter, it also mediates Ca2+ entry in parallel with various ion channels. The energy for net Ca2+ transport by the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger and its direction depend on the Na+, Ca2+, and K+ gradie...
متن کاملRelationship between Na+-Ca2+-exchanger protein levels and diastolic function of failing human myocardium.
BACKGROUND In the failing human heart, sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium handling is impaired, and therefore, calcium elimination and diastolic function may depend on the expression of sarcolemmal Na+-Ca2+ exchanger. METHODS AND RESULTS Force-frequency relations were studied in ventricular muscle strip preparations from failing human hearts (n=29). Protein levels of Na+-Ca2+ exchanger and S...
متن کاملSarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) gene silencing and remodeling of the Ca2+ signaling mechanism in cardiac myocytes.
Transient elevations of cytosolic Ca2+ are a common mechanism of cellular signaling. In striated muscle, the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) plays an important role in terminating Ca2+ transients by returning cytosolic Ca2+ to intracellular stores. Stored Ca2+ can then be released again for subsequent signaling. We down-regulated SERCA2 gene expression in cultured cardiac myocy...
