چکیده

Activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) in ventricular myocytes by isoproterenol (Iso) causes phosphorylation of both phospholamban (PLB) and troponin I (TnI) and accelerates relaxation by up to twofold. Because PLB phosphorylation increases sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca pumping and TnI phosphorylation increases the rate of Ca dissociation from the myofilaments, both factors could contribute to the acceleration of relaxation seen with PKA activation. To compare quantitatively the role of TnI versus PLB phosphorylation, we measured relaxation rates before and after maximal Iso treatment for twitches of matched amplitudes in ventricular myocytes and muscle from wild-type (WT) mice and from mice in which the PLB gene was knocked out (PLB-KO). Because Iso increases contractions, even in the PLB-KO mouse, extracellular [Ca] or sarcomere length was adjusted to obtain matching twitch amplitudes (in the presence and absence of Iso). In PLB-KO myocytes and muscles (which were allowed to shorten), Iso did not alter the time constant (tau) of relaxation ( approximately 29 ms). However, with increasing isometric force development in the PLB-KO muscles, Iso progressively but modestly accelerated relaxation (by 17%). These results contrast with WT myocytes and muscles where Iso greatly reduced tau of cell relaxation and intracellular Ca concentration decline (by 30-50%), independent of mechanical load. The Iso treatment used produced comparable increases in phosphorylation of TnI and PLB in WT. We conclude that the effect of beta-adrenergic activation on relaxation is mediated entirely by PLB phosphorylation in the absence of external load. However, TnI phosphorylation could contribute up to 14-18% of this lusitropic effect in the WT mouse during maximal isometric contractions.

Phosphorylation of troponin I controls cardiac twitch dynamics: evidence from phosphorylation site mutants expressed on a troponin I-null background in mice.

The cardiac myofilament protein troponin I (cTnI) is phosphorylated by protein kinase C (PKC), a family of serine/threonine kinases activated within heart muscle by a variety of agonists. cTnI is also a substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activated during beta-adrenergic signaling. To investigate the role of cTnI phosphorylation in contractile regulation by these pathways, we gene...

Cardiac transgenic and gene transfer strategies converge to support an important role for troponin I in regulating relaxation in cardiac myocytes.

Elucidating the relative roles of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and phospholamban (PLN) in beta-adrenergic-mediated hastening of cardiac relaxation has been challenging and controversial. To test the hypothesis that beta-adrenergic phosphorylation of cTnI has a prominent role in accelerating cardiac myocyte relaxation performance we used transgenic (Tg) mice bearing near complete replacement of nat...

Activation of b2-Adrenergic Receptors Hastens Relaxation and Mediates Phosphorylation of Phospholamban, Troponin I, and C-Protein in Ventricular Myocardium From Patients With Terminal Heart Failure

Background—Catecholamines hasten cardiac relaxation through b-adrenergic receptors, presumably by phosphorylation of several proteins, but it is unknown which receptor subtypes are involved in human ventricle. We assessed the role of b1and b2-adrenergic receptors in phosphorylating proteins implicated in ventricular relaxation. Methods and Results—Right ventricular trabeculae, obtained from fre...

Phosphodiesterase 4 and phosphatase 2A differentially regulate cAMP/protein kinase a signaling for cardiac myocyte contraction under stimulation of beta1 adrenergic receptor.

Activation of the beta adrenergic receptor (betaAR) induces a tightly controlled cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA) activity to ensure an agonist dose-dependent and saturable contraction response in animal heart. We have found that stimulation of beta(1)AR by isoproterenol induces maximal contraction responses at the dose of 1 microM in cardiac myocytes; however, cAMP accumulation continues to increas...
