Abstract
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) and hemochromatosis have a complex relationship. This review explores its mechanisms, prevalence, correlations, and clinical manifestations. Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) involves iron overload due to HFE protein mutations, while atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterized by irregular heart rhythms. Iron overload in hemochromatosis can promote cardiac arrhythmias. AF is prevalent in developed countries and may be linked to cryptogenic strokes. Genetic variations and demographic factors influence the occurrence of both conditions. HH affects multiple organ systems, including the heart, while AF causes palpitations and reduced exercise tolerance. Diagnosis involves iron markers, genotypic testing, and electrocardiogram (ECG) findings. Treatment strategies focus on reducing iron levels in hemochromatosis and managing AF through antithrombotic therapy and rhythm control. Untreated hemochromatosis carries a higher risk of complications, and PAF is associated with increased cardiovascular-related mortality. For better understanding of the mechanisms and to improve management, additional studies are required. Tailored approaches and combined treatments may enhance patient outcomes.

Arrhythmia-Associated Calmodulin E105A Mutation Alters the Binding Affinity of CaM to a Ryanodine Receptor 2 CaM-Binding Pocket. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15630. [PMID: 37958614 PMCID: PMC10649572 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242115630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Calmodulin (CaM) is a small, multifunctional calcium (Ca2+)-binding sensor that binds and regulates the open probability of cardiac ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) at both low and high cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations. Recent isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) studies of a number of peptides that correspond to different regions of human RyR2 showed that two regions of human RyR2 (3584-3602aa and 4255-4271aa) bind with high affinity to CaM, suggesting that these two regions might contribute to a putative RyR2 intra-subunit CaM-binding pocket. Moreover, a previously characterized de novo long QT syndrome (LQTS)-associated missense CaM mutation (E105A) which was identified in a 6-year-old boy, who experienced an aborted first episode of cardiac arrest revealed that this mutation dysregulates normal cardiac function in zebrafish by a complex mechanism that involves alterations in both CaM-Ca2+ and CaM-RyR2 interactions. Herein, to gain further insight into how the CaM E105A mutation leads to severe cardiac arrhythmia, we generated large quantities of recombinant CaMWT and CaME105A proteins. We then performed ITC experiments to investigate and compare the interactions of CaMWT and CaME105A mutant protein with two synthetic peptides that correspond to the two aforementioned human RyR2 regions, which we have proposed to contribute to the RyR2 CaM-binding pocket. Our data reveal that the E105A mutation has a significant negative effect on the interaction of CaM with both RyR2 regions in the presence and absence of Ca2+, highlighting the potential contribution of these two human RyR2 regions to an RyR2 CaM-binding pocket, which may be essential for physiological CaM/RyR2 association and thus channel regulation.

RyR2-targeting therapy prevents left ventricular remodeling and ventricular tachycardia in post-infarction heart failure. J Mol Cell Cardiol 2023; 178:36-50. [PMID: 36963751 DOI: 10.1016/j.yjmcc.2023.03.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dantrolene binds to the Leu601-Cys620 region of the N-terminal domain of cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2), which corresponds to the Leu590-Cys609 region of the skeletal ryanodine receptor, and suppresses diastolic Ca2+ leakage through RyR2. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether the chronic administration of dantrolene prevented left ventricular (LV) remodeling and ventricular tachycardia (VT) after myocardial infarction (MI) by the same mechanism with the mutation V3599K of RyR2, which indicated that the inhibition of diastolic Ca2+ leakage occurred by enhancing the binding affinity of calmodulin (CaM) to RyR2. METHODS AND RESULTS A left anterior descending coronary artery ligation MI model was developed in mice. Wild-type (WT) were divided into four groups: sham-operated mice (WT-Sham), sham-operated mice treated with dantrolene (WT-Sham-DAN), MI mice (WT-MI), and MI mice treated with dantrolene (WT-MI-DAN). Homozygous V3599K RyR2 knock-in (KI) mice were divided into two groups: sham-operated mice (KI-Sham) and MI mice (KI-MI). The mice were followed for 12 weeks. Survival was significantly higher in the WT-MI-DAN (73%) and KI-MI groups (70%) than the WT-MI group (40%). Echocardiography, pathological tissue, and epinephrine-induced VT studies showed that LV remodeling and VT were prevented in the WT-MI-DAN and KI-MI groups compared to the WT-MI group. An increase in diastolic Ca2+ spark frequency and a decrease in the binding affinity of CaM to the RyR2 were observed at 12 weeks after MI in the WT-MI group, although significant improvements in these values were observed in the WT-MI-DAN and KI-MI groups. CONCLUSIONS Pharmacological or genetic stabilization of RyR2 tetrameric structure improves survival after MI by suppressing LV remodeling and proarrhythmia.

Stabilizing cardiac ryanodine receptor with dantrolene treatment prevents left ventricular remodeling in pressure-overloaded heart failure mice. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2023; 642:175-184.

Abstract
Dantrolene (DAN) directly binds to cardiac ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) through Leu601-Cys620 in the N-terminal domain and subsequently inhibits diastolic Ca2+ leakage through RyR2. We previously reported that therapy using RyR2 V3599K mutation, which inhibits diastolic Ca2+ leakage by enhancing calmodulin (CaM) binding ability to RyR2, prevents left ventricular (LV) remodeling in transverse aortic constriction (TAC) heart failure. Here, we examined whether chronic administration of DAN prevents LV remodeling in TAC heart failure via the same mechanism as genetic therapy. A pressure-overloaded hypertrophy mouse model was developed using TAC. Wild-type (WT) mice were divided into three groups: sham-operated mice (Sham group), TAC mice (TAC group), and TAC mice treated with DAN (TAC-DAN group, 20 mg/kg/day, i.p.). They were then followed up for 8 weeks. The survival rate was higher in the TAC-DAN group (83%) than in the TAC group (49%), and serial echocardiography studies and pathological tissue analysis showed that LV remodeling was significantly prevented in the TAC-DAN group compared to the TAC group. An increase in the diastolic Ca2+ spark frequency and a decrease in the binding affinity of CaM to RyR2 were observed at 8 weeks in the TAC group but not in the TAC-DAN group. Stabilization of RyR2 with DAN prevented LV remodeling and improved survival after TAC by enhancing CaM binding to RyR2 and inhibiting RyR2-mediated diastolic Ca2+ leakage.

Abstract
The ryanodine receptor (RyR2) has a critical role in controlling Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) throughout the cardiac cycle. RyR2 protein has multiple functional domains with specific roles, and four of these RyR2 protomers are required to form the quaternary structure that comprises the functional channel. Numerous mutations in the gene encoding RyR2 protein have been identified and many are linked to a wide spectrum of arrhythmic heart disease. Gain of function mutations (GoF) result in a hyperactive channel that causes excessive spontaneous SR Ca2+ release. This is the predominant cause of the inherited syndrome catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Recently, rare hypoactive loss of function (LoF) mutations have been identified that produce atypical effects on cardiac Ca2+ handling that has been termed calcium release deficiency syndrome (CRDS). Aberrant Ca2+ release resulting from both GoF and LoF mutations can result in arrhythmias through the Na+/Ca2+ exchange mechanism. This mini-review discusses recent findings regarding the role of RyR2 domains and endogenous regulators that influence RyR2 gating normally and with GoF/LoF mutations. The arrhythmogenic consequences of GoF/LoF mutations will then be discussed at the macromolecular and cellular level.

Abstract
Cardiac ankyrin repeat protein (CARP) is a cardiac-specific stress-response protein which exerts diverse effects to modulate cardiac remodeling in response to pathological stimuli. We examined the role of CARP in postnatal cardiac development and function under basal conditions in mice. Transgenic mice that selectively overexpressed CARP in heart (CARP Tg) exhibited dilated cardiac chambers, impaired heart function, and cardiac fibrosis as assessed by echocardiography and histological staining. Furthermore, the mice had a shorter lifespan and reduced survival rate in response to ischemic acute myocardial infarction. Immunofluorescence demonstrated the overexpressed CARP protein was predominantly accumulated in the nuclei of cardiomyocytes. Microarray analysis revealed that the nuclear localization of CARP was associated with the suppression of calcium-handling proteins. In vitro experiments revealed that CARP overexpression resulted in decreased cell contraction and calcium transient. In post-mortem cardiac specimens from patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and end-stage heart failure, CARP was significantly increased. Taken together, our data identified CARP as a crucial contributor in dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure which was associated with its regulation of calcium-handling proteins.

Abstract
Malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS) and the associated condition malignant hyperthermia (MH) are rare but well-known disorders in the field of anesthesiology. MHS is usually determined by a history of a family member developing a positive episode during general anesthesia and then confirmed by an invasive caffeine halothane contracture test (CHCT). More recently, within the context of MH as a pharmacogenetic disorder, the question of whether or not MHS can be principally genetically determined is of high importance as knowledge of detailed pathogenesis may prevent against its largely invariable lethality if untreated. Thus, in this brief report, genetic terms, as well as updates in the genetics of MHS, will be reviewed in order to better understand both the condition and the current research.

Abstract
Cardiac arrhythmias are serious, life-threatening diseases associated with the dysregulation of Ca2+ influx into the cytoplasm of cardiomyocytes. This dysregulation often arises from dysfunction of ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2), the principal Ca2+ release channel. Dysfunction of RyR1, the skeletal muscle isoform, also results in less severe, but also potentially life-threatening syndromes. The RYR2 and RYR1 genes have been found to harbor three main mutation “hot spots”, where mutations change the channel structure, its interdomain interface properties, its interactions with its binding partners, or its dynamics. In all cases, the result is a defective release of Ca2+ ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the myocyte cytoplasm. Here, we provide an overview of the most frequent diseases resulting from mutations to RyR1 and RyR2, briefly review some of the recent experimental structural work on these two molecules, detail some of the computational work describing their dynamics, and summarize the known changes to the structure and function of these receptors with particular emphasis on their N-terminal, central, and channel domains.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that stem cells are equipped with the potential to differentiate into various types of cells, including cardiomyocytes. Meanwhile, stem cells are highly promising in curing cardiovascular diseases. However, owing to the ethical challenges posed in stem cell acquisition and the complexity and invasive nature of the method, large-scale expansions and clinical applications in the laboratory have been limited. The current generation of cardiomyocytes is available from diverse sources; urine is one of the promising sources among them. Although advanced research was established in the generation of human urine cells as cardiomyocytes, the reprogramming of urine cells to cardiomyocytes remains unclear. In this context, it is necessary to develop a minimally invasive method to create induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This review focuses on the latest advances in research on urine-derived iPSCs and their application mechanisms in cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
The pro- and antiapoptotic proteins belonging to the B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) family exert a critical control over cell-death processes by enabling or counteracting mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization. Beyond this mitochondrial function, several Bcl-2 family members have emerged as critical modulators of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis and dynamics, showing proapoptotic and antiapoptotic functions. Bcl-2 family proteins specifically target several intracellular Ca2+-transport systems, including organellar Ca2+ channels: inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) and ryanodine receptors (RyRs), Ca2+-release channels mediating Ca2+ flux from the endoplasmic reticulum, as well as voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs), which mediate Ca2+ flux across the mitochondrial outer membrane into the mitochondria. Although the formation of protein complexes between Bcl-2 proteins and these channels has been extensively studied, a major advance during recent years has been elucidating the complex interaction of Bcl-2 proteins with IP3Rs. Distinct interaction sites for different Bcl-2 family members were identified in the primary structure of IP3Rs. The unique molecular profiles of these Bcl-2 proteins may account for their distinct functional outcomes when bound to IP3Rs. Furthermore, Bcl-2 inhibitors used in cancer therapy may affect IP3R function as part of their proapoptotic effect and/or as an adverse effect in healthy cells.

Abstract
Arrhythmias as a cardiac complication of iron overload (IO) have been well described for decades in the clinical literature. They are assumed to be directly associated with the myocardial accumulation of iron. However, the influence of heart failure and elevated oxidative stress, which are major arrhythmogenic confounding factors associated with IO on arrhythmias, has not been critically reviewed in the published literature. A comprehensive narrative review of published articles in PubMed was conducted to address the influence of confounding factors of IO on arrhythmias. The previous data may have been largely confounded by the other cardiac complications of IO, particularly heart failure. The previous studies on IO-related arrhythmias lack proper age-gender-matched control subjects and/or comparison groups with properly controlled confounding factors to assess accurately their etiology and clinical significance. Given the above considerations, further mechanistic investigations to clarify the etiology and clinical relevance of IO-induced arrhythmias are needed. In addition, investigations to develop arrhythmia management strategy specific to IO, are warranted.

Abstract
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is caused by a single point mutation in the cardiac type 2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2). Using a knockin (KI) mouse model (R2474S/+), we previously reported that a single point mutation within the RyR2 sensitizes the channel to agonists, primarily mediated by defective interdomain interaction within the RyR2 and subsequent dissociation of calmodulin (CaM) from the RyR2. Here, we examined whether CPVT can be genetically rescued by enhancing the binding affinity of CaM to the RyR2. We first determined whether there is a possible amino acid substitution within the CaM-binding domain in the RyR2 (3584-3603 residues) that can enhance its binding affinity to CaM and found that V3599K substitution showed the highest binding affinity of CaM to the CaM-binding domain. Hence, we generated a heterozygous KI mouse model (V3599K/+) with a single amino acid substitution in the CaM-binding domain of the RyR2 and crossbred it with the heterozygous CPVT-associated R2474S/+-KI mouse to obtain a double-heterozygous R2474S/V3599K-KI mouse model. The CPVT phenotypes - bidirectional or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, spontaneous Ca2+ transients, and Ca2+ sparks - were all inhibited in the R2474S/V3599K mice. Thus, enhancement of the CaM-binding affinity of the RyR2 is essential to prevent CPVT-associated arrhythmogenesis.

Abstract
The human cardiac ryanodine receptor (hRyR2), the ion channel responsible for the release of Ca2+ ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol, plays an important role in cardiac muscle contraction. Mutations to this channel are associated with inherited cardiac arrhythmias. These mutations appear to cluster in distinct parts of the N-terminal, central and C-terminal areas of the channel. Here, we used molecular dynamics simulation to examine the effects three disease-associated mutations to the N-terminal region, R414L, I419F and R420W, have on the dynamics of a model of residues 1-655 of hRyR2. We find that the R414L and I419F mutations diminish the overall amplitude of motion without greatly changing the direction of motion of the individual domains, whereas R420W both enhances the amplitude and changes the direction of motion. Based on these results, we hypothesize that R414L and I419F hinder channel closing, whereas R420W may enhance channel opening. Overall, it appears that the wild-type protein possesses a moderate level of flexibility which allows the gate to close and not easily open without an opening signal. These mutations, however, disrupt this balance by making the gate either too rigid or too loose, causing closing to become difficult or less effective. Small-angle X-ray scattering studies of the same 1-655 residue fragment are in agreement with the molecular dynamics results and also suggest that the rest of the protein is needed to keep the entire domain properly folded.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Background: Metabolic and structural changes in cardiomyocytes in diabetes mellitus lead to aggravation of contractile myocardial dysfunction in coronary heart disease (CHD). The contractility dysfunction of cardiomyocytes is determined by a change in the levels of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-ATPase and energetic supply of the cardiomyocytes.
Aims: To study the features of functional remodeling of the heart muscle in coronary heart disease with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) depend on the level of Ca2+-ATPase and the activity of enzymes involved in energy metabolism.
Materials and methods: The work was performed on the heart biopsy of patients with CHD and patients with CHD combined with DM2. The inotropic reaction of myocardial strips on rest periods was assessed. The expression level of Ca2+-ATPase, the activity of enzymes succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the intensity of oxidative phosphorylation processes were determined.
Results: The interval-force relationship in patients with CHD with and without DM2 had both negative and positive dynamics. The positive dynamics corresponds to the "high content" of the Ca2+-ATPase and the negative dynamics corresponds to the "low content" were found. At the combined pathology the positive inotropic dynamics is more pronounced and corresponds to a higher protein level. In the patients myocardium with CHD the activity of SDH and LDH was higher, while the oxygen uptake rate by mitochondria was higher in the myocardium with combined pathology.
Conclusions: The potentiation of inotropic response of patient myocardium with CHD with and without DM2 corresponds to the "high level" of Ca2+-ATPase. In the combined pathology the inotropic capabilities of the myocardium are more expressed. In CHD the synthesis of ATP in cardiomyocytes is realized mainly due to glycolytic processes and Krebs cycle. In combined pathology the ATP synthesis is realized to a greater extent due to the oxidative phosphorylation.

Abstract
Calmodulin (CaM) is the principal Ca2+ sensor in eukaryotic cells, orchestrating the activity of hundreds of proteins. Disease causing mutations at any of the three genes that encode identical CaM proteins lead to major cardiac dysfunction, revealing the importance in the regulation of excitability. In turn, some mutations at the CaM binding site of ion channels cause similar diseases. Here we provide a summary of the two sides of the partnership between CaM and ion channels, describing the diversity of consequences of mutations at the complementary CaM binding domains.

Abstract
Objective Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a lethal inherited disease characterized by ventricular arrhythmias induced by physical exercise or emotional stress. The major cause of CPVT is mutations in RYR2, which encodes the cardiac ryanodine receptor channel. Recent advances in sequencing technology have yielded incidental findings of RYR2 variants in other cardiac diseases. Analyzing the characteristics of RYR2 variants related to CPVT will be useful for differentiation from those related to other cardiac diseases. We examined the phenotypic characteristics of patients with RYR2 variants. Methods Seventy-nine probands carrying RYR2 variants whose diagnoses were either CPVT (n=68) or long QT syndrome (LQTS; n=11) were enrolled. We compared the characteristics of the electrocardiogram (ECG) and the location of the RYR2 mutations-N-terminal (NT), central region (CR) or C-terminal (CT)-between the two patient groups. Results Using the ECGs available from 53 probands before β-blocker therapies, we analyzed the heart rates (HRs). CPVT probands showed bradycardia more frequently (25/44; 57%) than LQTS probands (1/9; 11%; p=0.024). In CPVT patients, 20 mutations were located in NT, 25 in CR and 23 in CT. In LQTS patients, 5 mutations were located in NT, 2 in CR and 4 in CT. There were no significant differences in the locations of the RYR2 mutations between the phenotypes. Conclusion Bradycardia was highly correlated with the phenotype of CPVT. When a clinically-diagnosed LQTS patient with bradycardia carries an RYR2 mutation, we should be careful to avoid making a misdiagnosis, as the patient may actually have CPVT.

Some of the human CPVT-associated mutations have been found in a domain (4026-4172) that has EF hand motifs, the so-called calmodulin (CaM)-like domain (CaMLD). OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanism by which CPVT is induced by a mutation at CaMLD. METHODS A new N4103K/+ knock-in (KI) mice model was generated. RESULTS Sustained ventricular tachycardia was frequently observed after infusion of caffeine plus epinephrine in KI mice. Endogenous CaM bound to RyR2 decreased even at baseline in isolated KI cardiomyocytes. Ca2+ spark frequency (CaSpF) was much higher in KI cells than in wild-type cells. Addition of GSH-CaM (higher affinity CaM to RyR2) significantly decreased CaSpF. In response to isoproterenol, spontaneous Ca2+ transient (SCaT) was frequently observed in intact KI cells. Incorporation of GSH-CaM into intact KI cells using a protein delivery kit decreased SCaT significantly. An assay using a quartz crystal microbalance technique revealed that mutated CaMLD peptide showed higher binding affinity to CaM binding domain (CaMBD) peptide. CONCLUSION In the N4103K mutant, CaM binding affinity to RyR2 was significantly reduced regardless of beta-adrenergic stimulation. We found that this was caused by an abnormally tight interaction between CaMBD and mutated CaM-like domain (N4103K-CaMBD). Thus, CaMBD-CaMLD interaction may be a novel therapeutic target for treatment of lethal arrhythmia.

Abstract
Mutations in the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2), the ion channel responsible for release of calcium ions from intracellular stores into cytoplasm, are the cause of several inherited cardiac arrhythmias. At the molecular level, disease symptoms can be mimicked by domain peptides from mutation-prone regions of RyR2 that bind to RyR2 and activate it. Here we show that the domain peptide DPcpvtN2, corresponding to the central helix of the N-terminal region of RyR2, activates the RyR2 channel. Structural modeling of interaction between DPcpvtN2 and the N-terminal region of RyR2 in the closed and open conformation provided three plausible structures of the complex. Only one of them could explain the dependence of RyR2 activity on concentration of DPcpvtN2. The structure of the complex was at odds with the previously proposed “domain switch” mechanism of competition between domain peptides and ryanodine receptor domains. Likewise, in structural models of the N-terminal region, the conformational changes induced by DPcpvtN2 binding were different from those induced by mutation of central helix amino acids. The activating effect of DPcpvtN2 binding and of mutations in the central helix could be explained by their similar effect on the transition energy between the closed and open conformation of RyR2.

Abstract
Cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADPR), an endogenous nucleotide derived from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), mobilizes Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via ryanodine receptors (RyRs), yet the bridging protein(s) between cADPR and RyRs remain(s) unknown. Here we synthesized a novel photoaffinity labeling (PAL) cADPR agonist, PAL-cIDPRE, and subsequently applied it to purify its binding proteins in human Jurkat T cells. We identified glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as one of the cADPR binding protein(s), characterized the binding affinity between cADPR and GAPDH in vitro by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay, and mapped cADPR's binding sites in GAPDH. We further demonstrated that cADPR induces the transient interaction between GAPDH and RyRs in vivo and that GAPDH knockdown abolished cADPR-induced Ca2+ release. However, GAPDH did not catalyze cADPR into any other known or novel compound(s). In summary, our data clearly indicate that GAPDH is the long-sought-after cADPR binding protein and is required for cADPR-mediated Ca2+ mobilization from ER via RyRs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The re-purposing of the anti-anginal drug perhexiline (PHX) has resulted in symptomatic improvements in heart failure (HF) patients. The inhibition of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1) has been proposed as the primary mechanism underlying the therapeutic benefit of PHX. This hypothesis is contentious. AREAS COVERED We reviewed the primary literature and patent landscape of PHX from its initial development in the 1960s through to its emergence as a drug beneficial for HF. We focused on its physico-chemistry, molecular targets, tissue accumulation and clinical dosing. EXPERT OPINION Dogma that the beneficial effects of PHX are due primarily to potent myocardial CPT-1 inhibition is not supported by the literature and all available evidence point to it being extremely unlikely that the major effects of PHX occur via this mechanism. In vivo PHX is much more likely to be an inhibitor of surface membrane ion channels and also to have effects on other components of cellular metabolism and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation across the cardiovascular system. However, the possibility that minor effects of PHX on CPT-1 underpin disproportionately large effects on myocardial function cannot be entirely excluded, especially given the massive accumulation of the drug in heart tissue.

Abstract
Calcium waves can form and propagate at low frequencies of spontaneous calcium sparks if the calcium dependence of spark frequency is sufficiently steep, or the number of open RyRs is sufficiently large. The role of cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR) gating in the initiation and propagation of calcium waves was investigated using a mathematical model comprising a stochastic description of RyR gating and a deterministic description of calcium diffusion and sequestration. We used a one-dimensional array of equidistantly spaced RyR clusters, representing the confocal scanning line, to simulate the formation of calcium sparks. Our model provided an excellent description of the calcium dependence of the frequency of diastolic calcium sparks and of the increased tendency for the production of calcium waves after a decrease in cytosolic calcium buffering. We developed a hypothesis relating changes in the propensity to form calcium waves to changes of RyR gating and tested it by simulation. With a realistic RyR gating model, increased ability of RyR to be activated by Ca2+ strongly increased the propensity for generation of calcium waves at low (0.05–0.1-µM) calcium concentrations but only slightly at high (0.2–0.4-µM) calcium concentrations. Changes in RyR gating altered calcium wave formation by changing the calcium sensitivity of spontaneous calcium spark activation and/or the average number of open RyRs in spontaneous calcium sparks. Gating changes that did not affect RyR activation by Ca2+ had only a weak effect on the propensity to form calcium waves, even if they strongly increased calcium spark frequency. Calcium waves induced by modulating the properties of the RyR activation site could be suppressed by inhibiting the spontaneous opening of the RyR. These data can explain the increased tendency for production of calcium waves under conditions when RyR gating is altered in cardiac diseases.

Abstract
Human ryanodine receptor 2 (hRyR2) mediates calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, enabling cardiomyocyte contraction. The N-terminal region of hRyR2 (amino acids 1-606) is the target of >30 arrhythmogenic mutations and contains a binding site for phosphoprotein phosphatase 1. Here, the solution and crystal structures determined under near-physiological conditions, as well as a homology model of the hRyR2 N-terminal region, are presented. The N-terminus is held together by a unique network of interactions among its three domains, A, B and C, in which the central helix (amino acids 410-437) plays a prominent stabilizing role. Importantly, the anion-binding site reported for the mouse RyR2 N-terminal region is notably absent from the human RyR2. The structure concurs with the differential stability of arrhythmogenic mutations in the central helix (R420W, I419F and I419F/R420W) which are owing to disparities in the propensity of mutated residues to form energetically favourable or unfavourable contacts. In solution, the N-terminus adopts a globular shape with a prominent tail that is likely to involve residues 545-606, which are unresolved in the crystal structure. Docking the N-terminal domains into cryo-electron microscopy maps of the closed and open RyR1 conformations reveals C(α) atom movements of up to 8 Å upon channel gating, and predicts the location of the leucine-isoleucine zipper segment and the interaction site for spinophilin and phosphoprotein phosphatase 1 on the RyR surface.

Abstract
RATIONALE Calmodulin (CaM) mutations are associated with an autosomal dominant syndrome of ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death that can present with divergent clinical features of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) or long QT syndrome (LQTS). CaM binds to and inhibits ryanodine receptor (RyR2) Ca release channels in the heart, but whether arrhythmogenic CaM mutants alter RyR2 function is not known. OBJECTIVE To gain mechanistic insight into how human CaM mutations affect RyR2 Ca channels. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied recombinant CaM mutants associated with CPVT (N54I and N98S) or LQTS (D96V, D130G, and F142L). As a group, all LQTS-associated CaM mutants (LQTS-CaMs) exhibited reduced Ca affinity, whereas CPVT-associated CaM mutants (CPVT-CaMs) had either normal or modestly lower Ca affinity. In permeabilized ventricular myocytes, CPVT-CaMs at a physiological intracellular concentration (100 nmol/L) promoted significantly higher spontaneous Ca wave and spark activity, a typical cellular phenotype of CPVT. Compared with wild-type CaM, CPVT-CaMs caused greater RyR2 single-channel open probability and showed enhanced binding affinity to RyR2. Even a 1:8 mixture of CPVT-CaM:wild-type-CaM activated Ca waves, demonstrating functional dominance. In contrast, LQTS-CaMs did not promote Ca waves and exhibited either normal regulation of RyR2 single channels (D96V) or lower RyR2-binding affinity (D130G and F142L). None of the CaM mutants altered Ca/CaM binding to CaM-kinase II. CONCLUSIONS A small proportion of CPVT-CaM is sufficient to evoke arrhythmogenic Ca disturbances, whereas LQTS-CaMs do not. Our findings explain the clinical presentation and autosomal dominant inheritance of CPVT-CaM mutations and suggest that RyR2 interactions are unlikely to explain arrhythmogenicity of LQTS-CaM mutations.

Abstract
To investigate the genetic variants of the RyR2 gene in sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome (SUNDS) in the southern Chinese Han population, we genetically screened 29 of the 105 coding exons of the RyR2 gene associated with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) in sporadic SUNDS victims using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing methods. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples of 127 SUNDS cases and 165 healthy unrelated controls. None of the published or novel RyR2 missense mutations were found in 127 SUNDS cases. A total of sixteen genetic variants of the RyR2 gene were identified, comprised of: one novel synonymous coding mutation (c.13710C>A), one novel synonymous rare polymorphism (c.14871C>T), and fourteen previously reported polymorphisms. The genotype and allele frequency of previously reported missense polymorphism c.5656G>A (G1886S) was of no statistical difference between SUNDS cases and controls (x(2)=0.390, P>0.05; x(2)=0.271, P>0.05). This is the first report of genetic phenotype of RyR2 gene of SUNDS in the southern Chinese Han population. Previously reported plausible pathogenic missense polymorphism G1886S may not be an independent predisposition factor of SUNDS in the southern Chinese Han population. The association of genetic variants of the RyR2 gene with SUNDS needs further elucidation.

Abstract
AbstractThe effect of a domain peptide DPCPVTc from the central region of the RYR2 on ryanodine receptors from rat heart has been examined in planar lipid bilayers. At a zero holding potential and at 8 mmol L−1 luminal Ca2+ concentration, DPCPVTc induced concentrationdependent activation of the ryanodine receptor that led up to 20-fold increase of PO at saturating DPCPVTc concentrations. DPCPVTc prolonged RyR2 openings and increased RyR2 opening frequency. At all peptide concentrations the channels displayed large variability in open probability, open time and frequency of openings. With increasing peptide concentration, the fraction of high open probability records increased together with their open time. The closed times of neither low- nor high-open probability records depended on peptide concentration. The concentration dependence of all gating parameters had EC50 of 20 μmol L−1 and a Hill slope of 2. Comparison of the effects of DPCPVTc with the effects of ATP and cytosolic Ca2+ suggests that activation does not involve luminal feed-through and is not caused by modulation of the cytosolic activation A-site. The data suggest that although “domain unzipping” by DPCPVTc occurs in both modes of RyR activity, it affects RyR gating only when the channel resides in the H-mode of activity.

Abstract
Background Distinguishing genetic variants that cause disease from variants that are rare but benign is one of the principal challenges in contemporary clinical genetics, particularly as variants are identified at a pace exceeding the capacity of researchers to characterise them functionally. Methods We previously developed a novel method, called paralogue annotation, which accurately and specifically identifies disease-causing missense variants by transferring disease-causing annotations across families of related proteins. Here we refine our approach, and apply it to novel variants found in 2266 patients across two large cohorts with inherited sudden death syndromes, namely catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) or Brugada syndrome (BrS). Results Over one third of the novel non-synonymous variants found in these studies, which would otherwise be reported in a clinical diagnostics setting as ‘variants of unknown significance’, are categorised by our method as likely disease causing (positive predictive value 98.7%). This identified more than 500 new disease loci for BrS and CPVT. Conclusions Our methodology is widely transferable across all human disease genes, with an estimated 150 000 potentially informative annotations in more than 1800 genes. We have developed a web resource that allows researchers and clinicians to annotate variants found in individuals with inherited arrhythmias, comprising a referenced compendium of known missense variants in these genes together with a user-friendly implementation of our approach. This tool will facilitate the interpretation of many novel variants that might otherwise remain unclassified.

Abstract
The cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) is inhibited by calmodulin (CaM) and S100A1. Simultaneous substitution of three amino acid residues (W3587A, L3591D, F3603A; RyR2ADA) in the CaM binding domain of RyR2 results in loss of CaM inhibition at submicromolar (diastolic) and micromolar (systolic) Ca²⁺, cardiac hypertrophy, and heart failure in Ryr2ADA/ADA mice. To address whether cardiac hypertrophy results from the elimination of CaM and S100A1 inhibition at diastolic or systolic Ca²⁺, a mutant mouse was generated with a single RyR2 amino acid substitution (L3591D; RyR2D). Here we report that in single-channel measurements RyR2-L3591D isolated from Ryr2D/D hearts lost CaM inhibition at diastolic Ca²⁺ only, whereas S100A1 regulation was eliminated at both diastolic and systolic Ca²⁺. In contrast to the ~2-wk life span of Ryr2ADA/ADA mice, Ryr2D/D mice lived longer than 1 yr. Six-month-old Ryr2D/D mice showed a 9% increase in heart weight-to-body weight ratio, modest changes in cardiac morphology, and a twofold increase in atrial natriuretic peptide mRNA levels compared with wild type. After 4-wk pressure overload with transverse aortic constriction, heart weight-to-body weight ratio and atrial natriuretic peptide mRNA levels increased and echocardiography showed changes in heart morphology of Ryr2D/D mice compared with sham-operated mice. Collectively, the findings indicate that the single RyR2-L3591D mutation, which distinguishes the effects of diastolic and systolic Ca²⁺, alters heart size and cardiac function to a lesser extent in Ryr2D/D mice than the triple mutation in Ryr2ADA/ADA mice. They further suggest that CaM inhibition of RyR2 at systolic Ca²⁺ is important for maintaining normal cardiac function.

Abstract
In cardiac muscle, a number of posttranslational protein modifications can alter the function of the Ca(2+) release channel of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), also known as the ryanodine receptor (RyR). During every heartbeat RyRs are activated by the Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release mechanism and contribute a large fraction of the Ca(2+) required for contraction. Some of the posttranslational modifications of the RyR are known to affect its gating and Ca(2+) sensitivity. Presently, research in a number of laboratories is focused on RyR phosphorylation, both by PKA and CaMKII, or on RyR modifications caused by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS). Both classes of posttranslational modifications are thought to play important roles in the physiological regulation of channel activity, but are also known to provoke abnormal alterations during various diseases. Only recently it was realized that several types of posttranslational modifications are tightly connected and form synergistic (or antagonistic) feed-back loops resulting in additive and potentially detrimental downstream effects. This review summarizes recent findings on such posttranslational modifications, attempts to bridge molecular with cellular findings, and opens a perspective for future work trying to understand the ramifications of crosstalk in these multiple signaling pathways. Clarifying these complex interactions will be important in the development of novel therapeutic approaches, since this may form the foundation for the implementation of multi-pronged treatment regimes in the future. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Cardiomyocyte Biology: Cardiac Pathways of Differentiation, Metabolism and Contraction.

Abstract
Nearly one-third of adults in the U.S. have hypertension, which is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. The goal of antihypertensive pharmacogenetic research is to enhance understanding of drug response based on the interaction of individual genetic architecture and antihypertensive therapy to improve blood pressure control and ultimately prevent CVD outcomes. In the context of the Genetics of Hypertension Associated Treatment (GenHAT) study and using a case-only design, we examined whether single nucleotide polymorphisms in RYR3 interact with four classes of antihypertensive drugs, particularly the calcium channel blocker amlodipine versus other classes, to modify the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD; fatal CHD and non-fatal myocardial infarction combined) and heart failure in high-risk hypertensive individuals. RYR3 mediates the mobilization of stored Ca+2 in cardiac and skeletal muscle to initiate muscle contraction. There was suggestive evidence of pharmacogenetic effects on heart failure, the strongest of which was for rs877087, with the smallest p-value =.0005 for the codominant model when comparing amlodipine versus all other treatments. There were no pharmacogenetic effects observed for CHD. The findings reported here for the case-only analysis of the antihypertensive pharmacogenetic effect of RYR3 among 3,058 CHD cases and 1,940 heart failure cases show that a hypertensive patient’s genetic profile may help predict which medication(s) might better lower cardiovascular disease risk.

Abstract
Electrical remodeling of the heart takes place in response to both functional (altered electrical activation) and structural (including heart failure and myocardial infarction) stressors. These electrophysiological changes produce a substrate that is prone to malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms of electrical remodeling is important in elucidating potential therapeutic targets designed to alter maladaptive electrical remodeling. For example, altered patterns of electrical activation lead primarily to electrical remodeling, without significant structural remodeling. By contrast, secondary remodeling arises in response to a structural insult. In this article we review cardiac electrical remodeling (predominantly in the ventricle) with an emphasis on the mechanisms causing these adaptations. These mechanisms suggest novel therapeutic targets for the management or prevention of the most devastating manifestation of heart disease, sudden cardiac death (SCD).

Abstract
RATIONALE Mutations in the cardiac type 2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) have been linked to catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). CPVT-associated RyR2 mutations cause fatal ventricular arrhythmias in young individuals during β-adrenergic stimulation. OBJECTIVE This study sought to determine the effects of a novel RyR2-G230C mutation and whether this mutation and RyR2-P2328S alter the sensitivity of the channel to luminal calcium (Ca(2+)). METHODS AND RESULTS Functional characterizations of recombinant human RyR2-G230C channels were performed under conditions mimicking stress. Human RyR2 mutant channels were generated by site-directed mutagenesis and heterologously expressed in HEK293 cells together with calstabin2. RyR2 channels were measured to examine the regulation of the channels by cytosolic versus luminal sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+). A 50-year-old white man with repeated syncopal episodes after exercise had a cardiac arrest and harbored the mutation RyR2-G230C. cAMP-dependent protein kinase-phosphorylated RyR2-G230C channels exhibited a significantly higher open probability at diastolic Ca(2+) concentrations, associated with a depletion of calstabin2. The luminal Ca(2+) sensitivities of RyR2-G230C and RyR2-P2328S channels were WT-like. CONCLUSIONS The RyR2-G230C mutant exhibits similar biophysical defects compared with previously characterized CPVT mutations: decreased binding of the stabilizing subunit calstabin2 and a leftward shift in the Ca(2+) dependence for activation under conditions that simulate exercise, consistent with a "leaky" channel. Both RyR2-G230C and RyR2-P2328S channels exhibit normal luminal Ca(2+) activation. Thus, diastolic sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) leak caused by reduced calstabin2 binding and a leftward shift in the Ca(2+) dependence for activation by diastolic levels of cytosolic Ca(2+) is a common mechanism underlying CPVT.

Abstract
Excitation-contraction coupling involves the faithful conversion of electrical stimuli to mechanical shortening in striated muscle cells, enabled by the ubiquitous second messenger, calcium. Crucial to this process are ryanodine receptors (RyRs), the sentinels of massive intracellular calcium stores contained within the sarcoplasmic reticulum. In response to sarcolemmal depolarization, RyRs release calcium into the cytosol, facilitating mobilization of the myofilaments and enabling cell contraction. In order for the cells to relax, calcium must be rapidly resequestered or extruded from the cytosol. The sustainability of this cycle is crucially dependent upon precise regulation of RyRs by numerous cytosolic metabolites and by proteins within the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and those directly associated with the receptors in a macromolecular complex. In addition to providing the majority of the calcium necessary for contraction of cardiac and skeletal muscle, RyRs act as molecular switchboards that integrate a multitude of cytosolic signals such as dynamic and steady calcium fluctuations, β-adrenergic stimulation (phosphorylation), nitrosylation and metabolic states, and transduce these signals to the channel pore to release appropriate amounts of calcium. Indeed, dysregulation of calcium release via RyRs is associated with life-threatening diseases in both skeletal and cardiac muscle. In this paper, we briefly review some of the most outstanding structural and functional attributes of RyRs and their mechanism of regulation. Further, we address pathogenic RyR dysfunction implicated in cardiovascular disease and skeletal myopathies.

Abstract
Common arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF) are a major public health concern. Classic antiarrhythmic (AA) drugs for AF are of limited effectiveness, and pose the risk of life-threatening VT/VF. For VT/VF, implantable cardiac defibrillators appear to be the unique, yet unsatisfactory, solution. Very few AA drugs have been successful in the last few decades, due to safety concerns or limited benefits in comparison to existing therapy. The Vaughan-Williams classification (one drug for one molecular target) appears too restrictive in light of current knowledge of molecular and cellular mechanisms. New AA drugs such as atrial-specific and/or multichannel blockers, upstream therapy and anti-remodeling drugs, are emerging. We focus on the cellular mechanisms related to abnormal Na⁺ and Ca²⁺ handling in AF, heart failure, and inherited arrhythmias, and on novel strategies aimed at normalizing ionic homeostasis. Drugs that prevent excessive Na⁺ entry (ranolazine) and aberrant diastolic Ca²⁺ release via the ryanodine receptor RyR2 (rycals, dantrolene, and flecainide) exhibit very interesting antiarrhythmic properties. These drugs act by normalizing, rather than blocking, channel activity. Ranolazine preferentially blocks abnormal persistent (vs. normal peak) Na⁺ currents, with minimal effects on normal channel function (cell excitability, and conduction). A similar "normalization" concept also applies to RyR2 stabilizers, which only prevent aberrant opening and diastolic Ca²⁺ leakage in diseased tissues, with no effect on normal function during systole. The different mechanisms of action of AA drugs may increase the therapeutic options available for the safe treatment of arrhythmias in a wide variety of pathophysiological situations.

Abstract
AIM To investigate which endothelin receptors mediated isoproterenol (ISO)-induced downregulation of FKBP12.6/12 in cardiomyocytes and study whether argirhein, a novel compound containing rhein and L-arginine that has anti-inflammatory activity, could reverse the downregulation of FKBP12.6/12 induced by ISO. METHODS Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were incubated with ISO to downregulate FKBP12.6/12. Then the cells were treated with a selective ET(A) blocker (PD156707) and a ET(B) blocker (IRL1038), a dual ET(A)/ET(B) antagonist (CPU0213), and argirhein, respectively. FKBP12.6/12 expression was assayed by RT-PCR, Western blot, and immunocytochemistry. RESULTS The expression of FKBP12.6 mRNA was reduced by 37.7% (P<0.01) and 28.9% (P<0.05) relative to the control by ISO 1 and 0.1 μmol/L, respectively, but no response to ISO 0.01 μmol/L was observed in vitro. FKBP12.6/12 protein expression was reduced by 47.2% (P<0.01) and 37.8% (P<0.05) by ISO 1 and 0.1 μmol/L, respectively. This decrease was reversed significantly by PD156707, or IRL1038, and CPU0213. CPU0213 was more potent than either PD156707 or IRL-1038. Argirhein 10 μmol/L blunted the downregulation of FKBP12.6/12 by ISO, as demonstrated by the rising mRNA and protein levels and by the fluorescent density of the ISO-incubated cardiomyocytes. CONCLUSION In cardiomyocytes, the ISO induced downregulation of FKBP12.6/12 is modulated by both ET(A) and ET(B). A new compound, argirein, reversed the down-regulation of FKBP12.6/12 expression in myocardial cells stimulated with ISO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dantrolene, a specific agent for the treatment of malignant hyperthermia, was found to inhibit Ca(2+) leak through not only the skeletal ryanodine receptor (RyR1), but also the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) by correcting the defective inter-domain interaction between N-terminal (1-619 amino acid) and central (2,000-2,500 amino acid) domains of RyRs. Here, the in vivo anti-arrhythmic effect of dantrolene in a human catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT)-associated RyR2(R2474S/+) knock-in (KI) mouse model was investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS ECG was monitored in KI mice (n=6) and wild-type (WT) mice (n=6), before and after an injection of epinephrine (1.0mg/kg) or on exercise using a treadmill. In all KI (but not WT) mice, bi-directional ventricular tachycardia (VT) was induced after an injection of epinephrine or on exercise. Pre-treatment with dantrolene (for 7-10 days) significantly inhibited the inducible VT (P<0.01). In KI cardiomyocytes, Ca(2+) spark frequency (SpF; s(-1)·100µm(-1): 5.8±0.3, P<0.01) was much more increased after the addition of isoproterenol than in WT cardiomyocytes (SpF: 3.6±0.2). The increase in SpF seen in KI cardiomyocytes was attenuated by 1.0µmol/L dantrolene (SpF: 3.6±0.5, P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Dantrolene prevents CPVT, presumably by inhibiting Ca(2+) leak through the RyR2.

Abstract
Cardiac electrophysiology is a discipline with a rich 50-year history of experimental research coupled with integrative modeling which has enabled us to achieve a quantitative understanding of the relationships between molecular function and the integrated behavior of the cardiac myocyte in health and disease. In this paper, we review the development of integrative computational models of the cardiac myocyte. We begin with a historical overview of key cardiac cell models that helped shape the field. We then narrow our focus to models of the cardiac ventricular myocyte and describe these models in the context of their subcellular functional systems including dynamic models of voltage-gated ion channels, mitochondrial energy production, ATP-dependent and electrogenic membrane transporters, intracellular Ca dynamics, mechanical contraction, and regulatory signal transduction pathways. We describe key advances and limitations of the models as well as point to new directions for future modeling research. WIREs Syst Biol Med 2011 3 392-413 DOI: 10.1002/wsbm.122
