Regulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase pump expression and its relevance to cardiac muscle physiology and pathology.

چکیده
Cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA2a) plays a central role in myocardial contractility. SERCA2a actively transports Ca(2+) into the SR and regulates cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration, SR Ca(2+) load, and the rate of contraction and relaxation of the heart. In the heart, SERCA pump activity is regulated by two small molecular weight proteins: phospholamban (PLB) and sarcolipin (SLN). Decreases in the expression levels of SERCA2a have been observed in a variety of pathological conditions. In addition, altered expression of PLB and SLN has been reported in many cardiac diseases. Thus, SERCA2a is a major regulator of intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis, and changes in the expression and activity of the SERCA pump contribute to the decreased SR Ca(2+) content and cardiac dysfunction during pathogenesis. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms controlling SERCA pump expression and activity both during normal physiology and under pathological states.

Cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2þ ATPase (SERCA2a) plays a central role in myocardial contractility. SERCA2a actively transports Ca2þ into the SR and regulates cytosolic Ca2þ concentration, SR Ca2þ load, and the rate of contraction and relaxation of the heart. In the heart, SERCA pump activity is regulated by two small molecular weight proteins: phospholamban (PLB) and sarcolipin (SLN). ...
متن کاملImproving cardiac Ca⁺² transport into the sarcoplasmic reticulum in heart failure: lessons from the ubiquitous SERCA2b Ca⁺² pump.
As a major Ca2+ pump in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the cardiomyocyte, SERCA2a (sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2a) controls the relaxation and contraction of the cardiomyocyte. It is meticulously regulated by adapting its expression levels and affinity for Ca2+ ions to the physiological demand of the heart. Dysregulation of the SERCA2a activity entails poor cardiomyocyte contr...
متن کاملAnalysis of the rabbit cardiac/slow twitch muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA2) gene promoter.
The rabbit cardiac/slow twitch muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2) gene encodes a Ca2+ transport pump whose expression is regulated during skeletal/cardiac muscle development and by different pathophysiological states of the heart. This study was designed to delineate cis-acting regulatory elements involved in SERCA2 gene expression. A series of unidirectionally deleted frag...
متن کاملNeuronostatin attenuates myocardial contractile function through inhibition of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase in murine heart.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Neuronostatin, derived from the somatostatin preprohormone, was recently identified to be produced by several tissues exerting a role in cardiovascular regulation and metabolism. Nonetheless, the precise mechanism behind neuronostatin-elicited myocardial responses remains elusive. METHODS This study was designed to elucidate the impact of neuronostatin on cardiac contractile f...
متن کاملAlterations in sarcoplasmic reticulum function and gene expression in ischemic-reperfused rat heart.
In view of the critical role of sarcoplasmic reticular (SR) Ca2+ release and the Ca2+ pump in cardiac contraction-relaxation, this study was undertaken to assess the status of SR function, protein content, and gene expression in isolated rat hearts subjected to global ischemia for 30 min followed by 60 min of reperfusion (I/R). Attenuated recovery of contractile function in the I/R hearts was a...
