Abstract
Many cells display considerable functional plasticity and depend on the regulation of numerous organelles and macromolecules for their maintenance. In large cells, organelles also need to be carefully distributed to supply the cell with essential resources and regulate intracellular activities. Having multiple copies of the largest eukaryotic organelle, the nucleus, epitomizes the importance of scaling gene products to large cytoplasmic volumes in skeletal muscle fibers. Scaling of intracellular constituents within mammalian muscle fibers is, however, poorly understood, but according to the myonuclear domain hypothesis, a single nucleus supports a finite amount of cytoplasm and is thus postulated to act autonomously, causing the nuclear number to be commensurate with fiber volume. In addition, the orderly peripheral distribution of myonuclei is a hallmark of normal cell physiology, as nuclear mispositioning is associated with impaired muscle function. Because underlying structures of complex cell behaviors are commonly formalized by scaling laws and thus emphasize emerging principles of size regulation, the work presented herein offers more of a unified conceptual platform based on principles from physics, chemistry, geometry, and biology to explore cell size-dependent correlations of the largest mammalian cell by means of scaling.

Li J, Richmond B, Hong T. Cardiac T-Tubule cBIN1-Microdomain, a Diagnostic Marker and Therapeutic Target of Heart Failure. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22052299.

Abstract
Since its first identification as a cardiac transverse tubule (t-tubule) protein, followed by the cloning of the cardiac isoform responsible for t-tubule membrane microdomain formation, cardiac bridging integrator 1 (cBIN1) and its organized microdomains have emerged as a key mechanism in maintaining normal beat-to-beat heart contraction and relaxation. The abnormal remodeling of cBIN1-microdomains occurs in stressed and diseased cardiomyocytes, contributing to the pathophysiology of heart failure. Due to the homeostatic turnover of t-tubule cBIN1-microdomains via microvesicle release into the peripheral circulation, plasma cBIN1 can be assayed as a liquid biopsy of cardiomyocyte health. A new blood test cBIN1 score (CS) has been developed as a dimensionless inverse index derived from plasma cBIN1 concentration with a diagnostic and prognostic power for clinical outcomes in stable ambulatory patients with heart failure with reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFrEF or HFpEF). Recent evidence further indicates that exogenous cBIN1 introduced by adeno-associated virus 9-based gene therapy can rescue cardiac contraction and relaxation in failing hearts. The therapeutic potential of cBIN1 gene therapy is enormous given its ability to rescue cardiac inotropy and provide lusitropic protection in the meantime. These unprecedented capabilities of cBIN1 gene therapy are shifting the current paradigm of therapy development for heart failure, particularly HFpEF.

Abstract
Unique to striated muscle cells, transverse tubules (t-tubules) are membrane organelles that consist of sarcolemma penetrating into the myocyte interior, forming a highly branched and interconnected network. Mature t-tubule networks are found in mammalian ventricular cardiomyocytes, with the transverse components of t-tubules occurring near sarcomeric z-discs. Cardiac t-tubules contain membrane microdomains enriched with ion channels and signaling molecules. The microdomains serve as key signaling hubs in regulation of cardiomyocyte function. Dyad microdomains formed at the junctional contact between t-tubule membrane and neighboring sarcoplasmic reticulum are critical in calcium signaling and excitation-contraction coupling necessary for beat-to-beat heart contraction. In this review, we provide an overview of the current knowledge in gross morphology and structure, membrane and protein composition, and function of the cardiac t-tubule network. We also review in detail current knowledge on the formation of functional membrane subdomains within t-tubules, with a particular focus on the cardiac dyad microdomain. Lastly, we discuss the dynamic nature of t-tubules including membrane turnover, trafficking of transmembrane proteins, and the life cycles of membrane subdomains such as the cardiac BIN1-microdomain, as well as t-tubule remodeling and alteration in diseased hearts. Understanding cardiac t-tubule biology in normal and failing hearts is providing novel diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities to better treat patients with failing hearts.

BIN1 regulates dynamic t-tubule membrane. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2015; 1863:1839-47.

Abstract
Cardiac transverse tubules (t-tubules) are specific membrane organelles critical in calcium signaling and excitation-contraction coupling required for beat-to-beat heart contraction. T-tubules are highly branched and form an interconnected network that penetrates the myocyte interior to form junctions with the sarcoplasmic reticulum. T-tubules are selectively enriched with specific ion channels and proteins crucial in calcium transient development necessary in excitation-contraction coupling, thus t-tubules are a key component of cardiac myocyte function. In this review, we focus primarily on two proteins concentrated within the t-tubular network, the L-type calcium channel (LTCC) and associated membrane anchor protein, bridging integrator 1 (BIN1). Here, we provide an overview of current knowledge in t-tubule morphology, composition, microdomains, as well as the dynamics of the t-tubule network. Secondly, we highlight multiple aspects of BIN1-dependent t-tubule function, which includes forward trafficking of LTCCs to t-tubules, LTCC clustering at t-tubule surface, microdomain organization and regulation at t-tubule membrane, and the formation of a slow diffusion barrier within t-tubules. Lastly, we describe progress in characterizing how acquired human heart failure can be attributed to abnormal BIN1 transcription and associated t-tubule remodeling. Understanding BIN1-regulated cardiac t-tubule biology in human heart failure management has the dual benefit of promoting progress in both biomarker development and therapeutic target identification.

Abstract
Cardiomyocytes, the individual contractile units of heart muscle, are long-lived and robust. Given the longevity of these cells, it can be easy to overlook their dynamic intracellular environment that contain rapid protein movements and frequent protein turnover. Critical gene transcription and protein translation occur continuously, as well as trafficking and localization of proteins to specific functional zones of cell membrane. As heart failure becomes an increasingly important clinical entity, growing numbers of investigative teams are examining the cell biology of healthy and diseased cardiomyocytes. In this review, we introduce the major architectural structures and types of protein movements within cardiac cells, and then review recent studies that explore the regulation of such movements. We conclude by introducing current translational directions of the basic studies with a focus on novel areas of therapeutic development.

Abstract
Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can differentiate into functional cardiomyocytes (iCell Cardiomyocytes) with ion channel activities that are remarkably similar to adult cardiomyocytes. Here, we extend this characterization to cardiac ion transporters. Additionally, we document facile molecular biological manipulation of iCell Cardiomyocytes to overexpress and knockdown transporters and regulatory proteins. Na/Ca exchange (NCX1) and Na/K pump currents were recorded via patch clamp, and Na/H and Cl/OH exchanges were recorded via oscillating proton-selective microelectrodes during patch clamp. Flux densities of all transport systems are similar to those of nonrodent adult cardiomyocytes. NCX1 protein and NCX1 currents decline after NCX1 small interfering (si)RNA transfection with similar time courses (τ ≈ 2 days), and an NCX1-Halo fusion protein is internalized after its extracellular labeling by AlexaFluor488 Ligand with a similar time course. Loss of the cardiac regulatory protein phospholemman (PLM) occurs over a longer time course (τ ≈ 60 h) after PLM small interfering RNA transfection. Similar to multiple previous reports for adult cardiomyocytes, Na/K pump currents in iCell Cardiomyocytes are not enhanced by activating cAMP production with either maximal or submaximal cytoplasmic Na and using either forskolin or isoproterenol to activate adenylate cyclases. Finally, we describe Ca influx-dependent changes of iCell Cardiomyocyte capacitance (Cm). Large increases of Cm occur during Ca influx via NCX1, thereby documenting large internal membrane reserves that can fuse to the sarcolemma, and subsequent declines of Cm document active endocytic processes. Together, these results document a great potential of iCell Cardiomyocytes for both short- and long-term studies of cardiac ion transporters and their regulation.

Abstract
[Ca(2+)](i) transients by reverse mode of cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1) were recorded in fura-2 loaded BHK cells with stable expression of NCX1. Repeated stimulation of reverse NCX1 produced a long-lasting decrease of Ca(2+) transients ('rundown'). Rundown of NCX1 was independent of membrane PIP(2) depletion. Although the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) was observed during the Ca(2+) transients, neither a selective PKC inhibitor (calphostin C) nor a PKC activator (PMA) changed the degrees of rundown. By comparison, a non-specific PKC inhibitor, staurosporine (STS), reversed rundown in a dose-dependent and reversible manner. The action of STS was unaffected by pretreatment of the cells with calphostin C, PMA, or forskolin. Taken together, the results suggest that the stimulation of reverse NCX1 by STS is independent of PKC and/or PKA inhibition.

Abstract
The calcium phosphate-based skeleton of vertebrates serves as the major reservoir for metabolically available calcium ions. The skeleton is formed by osteoblasts which first secrete a proteinaceous matrix and then provide Ca++ for the calcification process. The two calcium efflux ports found in most cells are the plasma membrane Ca-ATPase (PMCA) and the sodium-calcium exchanger (NCX). In osteoblasts, PMCA and NCX are located on opposing sides of the cell with NCX facing the mineralizing bone surface. Two isoforms of NCX have been identified in osteoblasts NCX1, and NCX3. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which each of the two NCX isoforms support delivery of Ca++ into sites of calcification and to discern if one could compensate for the other. SiRNA technology was used to knockdown each isoform separately in MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts. Osteoblasts in which either NCX1 or NCX3 was impaired were tested for Ca++ efflux using the Ca++ specific fluorophore, fluo-4, in a sodium-dependent calcium uptake assay adapted for image analysis. NCX3 was found to serve as a major contributor of Ca++ translocation out of osteoblasts into calcifying bone matrix. NCX1 had little to no involvement.

Abstract
Late Na(+) current (I(NaL)) is a major component of the action potential plateau in human and canine myocardium. Since I(NaL) is increased in heart failure and ischemia, it represents a novel potential target for cardioprotection. However, the molecular identity of I(NaL) remains unclear. We tested the hypothesis that the cardiac Na(+) channel isoform (Na(v)1.5) is a major contributor to I(NaL) in adult dog ventricular cardiomyocytes (VCs). Cultured VCs were exposed to an antisense morpholino-based oligonucleotide (Na(v)1.5 asOligo) targeting the region around the start codon of Na(v)1.5 mRNA or a control nonsense oligonucleotide (nsOligo). Densities of both transient Na(+) current (I(NaT)) and I(NaL) (both in pA/pF) were monitored by whole cell patch clamp. In HEK293 cells expressing Na(v)1.5 or Na(v)1.2, Na(v)1.5 asOligo specifically silenced functional expression of Na(v)1.5 (up to 60% of the initial I(NaT)) but not Na(v)1.2. In both nsOligo-treated controls and untreated VCs, I(NaT) and I(NaL) remained unchanged for up to 5 days. However, both I(NaT) and I(NaL) decreased exponentially with similar time courses (tau = 46 and 56 h, respectively) after VCs were treated with Na(v)1.5 asOligo without changes in 1) decay kinetics, 2) steady-state activation and inactivation, and 3) the ratio of I(NaL) to I(NaT). Four days after exposure to Na(v)1.5 asOligo, I(NaT) and I(NaL) amounted to 68 +/- 6% (mean +/- SE; n = 20, P < 0.01) and 60 +/- 7% (n = 11, P < 0.018) of those in VCs treated by nsOligo, respectively. We conclude that in adult dog heart Na(v)1.5 sodium channels have a "functional half-life" of approximately 35 h (0.69tau) and make a major contribution to I(NaL).

Abstract
We describe a new assay to determine the fraction of cardiac Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchangers (NCX1) in the surface membrane of cells (F(surf)). An extracellular NCX1 disulphide bond is rapidly reduced by tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP), cysteines are 'PEGylated' by alkylation with an impermeable conjugate of maleimide and a 5000 MW polyethylene glycol (MPEG), and F(surf) is quantified from Western blots as the fraction of NCX1 that migrates at a higher molecular weight. F(surf) remains less than 0.1 when NCX1 is expressed via transient transfections. Values of 0.15-0.4 are obtained for cell lines with stable NCX1 expression, 0.3 for neonatal myocytes and 0.6-0.8 for adult hearts. To validate the assay, we analysed an intervention that promotes clathrin-independent endocytosis in fibroblasts. Using BHK cells, removal of extracellular potassium (K(+)) caused yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-tagged NCX1 to redistribute diffusely into the cytoplasm within 30 min, F(surf) decreased by 35%, and whole-cell exchange currents decreased by > 50%. In both HEK 293 and BHK cell lines, expression of human hPIP5Ibeta kinase significantly decreases F(surf). In BHK cells expressing M1 receptors, a muscarinic agonist (carbachol) causes a 40% decrease of F(surf) in normal media. This decrease is blocked by a high wortmannin concentration (3 mum), suggesting that type III phosphatidylinositol-4-kinase (PI4K) activity is required. As predicted from functional studies, carbachol increases F(surf) when cytoplasmic Ca(2) is increased by removing extracellular Na(+). Phorbol esters are without effect in BHK cells. In intact hearts, interventions that change contractility have no effect within 15 min, but we have identified two long-term changes. First, we analysed the diurnal dependence of F(surf) because messages for cardiac phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP) 5-kinases increase during the light phase in entrained mice (i.e. during sleep). Cardiac phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bis-phosphate (PIP(2)) levels increase during the light phase and F(surf) decreases in parallel. Second, we analysed effects of aortic banding because NCX1 currents do not mirror the increases of NCX1 message and protein that occur in this model. F(surf) decreases significantly within 10 days, and cardiac PIP and PIP(2) levels are significantly increased. In summary, multiple experimental approaches suggest that PIP(2) synthesis favours NCX1 internalization, that NCX1 internalization is probably clathrin-independent, and that significant changes of NCX1 surface expression occur physiologically and pathologically in intact myocardium.

Abstract
Cardiac Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchange (NCX1) inactivates in excised membrane patches when cytoplasmic Ca(2+) is removed or cytoplasmic Na(+) is increased. Exogenous phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bis-phosphate (PIP(2)) can ablate both inactivation mechanisms, while it has no effect on inward exchange current in the absence of cytoplasmic Na(+). To probe PIP(2) effects in intact cells, we manipulated PIP(2) metabolism by several means. First, we used cell lines with M1 (muscarinic) receptors that couple to phospholipase C's (PLCs). As expected, outward NCX1 current (i.e. Ca(2+) influx) can be strongly inhibited when M1 agonists induce PIP(2) depletion. However, inward currents (i.e. Ca(2+) extrusion) without cytoplasmic Na(+) can be increased markedly in parallel with an increase of cell capacitance (i.e. membrane area). Similar effects are incurred by cytoplasmic perfusion of GTPgammaS or the actin cytoskeleton disruptor latrunculin, even in the presence of non-hydrolysable ATP (AMP-PNP). Thus, G-protein signalling may increase NCX1 currents by destabilizing membrane cytoskeleton-PIP(2) interactions. Second, to increase PIP(2) we directly perfused PIP(2) into cells. Outward NCX1 currents increase as expected. But over minutes currents decline substantially, and cell capacitance usually decreases in parallel. Third, using BHK cells with stable NCX1 expression, we increased PIP(2) by transient expression of a phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate-5-kinase (hPIP5KIbeta) and a PI4-kinase (PI4KIIalpha). NCX1 current densities were decreased by > 80 and 40%, respectively. Fourth, we generated transgenic mice with 10-fold cardiac-specific overexpression of PI4KIIalpha. This wortmannin-insensitive PI4KIIalpha was chosen because basal cardiac phosphoinositides are nearly insensitive to wortmannin, and surface membrane PI4-kinase activity, defined functionally in excised patches, is not blocked by wortmannin. Both phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP) and PIP(2) were increased significantly, while NCX1 current densities were decreased by 78% with no loss of NCX1 expression. Most mice developed cardiac hypertrophy, and immunohistochemical analysis suggests that NCX1 is redistributed away from the outer sarcolemma. Cholera toxin uptake was increased 3-fold, suggesting that clathrin-independent endocytosis is enhanced. We conclude that direct effects of PIP(2) to activate NCX1 can be strongly modulated by opposing mechanisms in intact cells that probably involve membrane cytoskeleton remodelling and membrane trafficking.
