Abstract
Signalling mechanisms within and between cells of the vasculature enable function and maintain homeostasis. However, a number of these mechanisms also contribute to the pathophysiology of vascular disease states. The multifunctional signalling molecule calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) has been shown to have critical functional effects in many tissue types. For example, CaMKII is known to have a dual role in cardiac physiology and pathology. The function of CaMKII within the vasculature is incompletely understood, but emerging evidence points to potential physiological and pathological roles. This review discusses the evidence for CaMKII signalling within the vasculature, with the aim to better understand both positive and potentially deleterious effects of CaMKII activation in vascular tissue.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Maternal overnutrition is associated with heart diseases in adult offspring. However, combined effect of maternal and postnatal fat intake on cardiac function is unknown. This study was designed to examine the impact of maternal and postnatal fat intake on metabolic, myocardial, insulin and mitochondrial responses in adult offspring. Pregnant FVB mice were fed a low fat (LF) or high fat (HF) diet during gestation and lactation. Weaning male offspring were placed on either LF or HF (calorie-restricted HF-fed mice used as weight control) for 4 months prior to assessment of metabolic indices, myocardial histology, cardiac function, insulin signaling, mitochondrial integrity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Compared with LF- and HF-fed weight-control mice, postnatal HF intake resulted in obesity, adiposity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, cardiac hypertrophy, interrupted cardiac contractile, intracellular Ca(2+) and mitochondrial properties, all of which were significantly accentuated by prenatal fat exposure. Despite the preserved cardiac contractile function, LF offspring from HF-fed dams displayed higher body weights, increased adiposity and glucose intolerance. HF-fed mice with prenatal HF exposure displayed upregulated serine phosphorylation of IRS-1, PTP1B, the rate-limiting fatty acid synthesis enzyme stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1) and hypertrophic markers (calcineurin A, GATA4, ANP, β-MHC and skeletal α-actin), while suppressing AMP-dependent protein kinase, glucose uptake and PGC-1α levels. Importantly, myocardial and mitochondrial ultrastructural abnormalities were more pronounced in HF-fed offspring with prenatal fat exposure, shown as loss of mitochondrial density and membrane potential, increased ROS generation and apoptosis. Our data suggest that prenatal dietary fat exposure predisposes offspring to postnatal dietary fat-induced cardiac hypertrophy and contractile defect possibly via lipotoxicity, glucose intolerance and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Of the three mammalian members belonging to the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) family, SERCA2 is evolutionary the oldest and shows the most wide tissue-expression pattern. Two major SERCA2 splice variants are well-characterized: the muscle-specific isoform SERCA2a and the housekeeping isoform SERCA2b. Recently, several interacting proteins and post-translational modifications of SERCA2 were identified which may modulate the activity of the Ca2+ pump. This review aims to give an overview of the vast literature concerning the cell biological implications of the SERCA2 isoform diversity and the factors regulating SERCA2. Proteins reported to interact with SERCA2 from the cytosolic domain involve the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2, the insulin receptor substrates IRS1/2, the EF-hand Ca2+-binding protein S100A1 and acylphosphatase. We will focus on the very particular position of SERCA2 as an enzyme functioning in a thin, highly fluid, leaky and cholesterol-poor membrane. Possible differential interactions of SERCA2b and SERCA2a with calreticulin, calnexin and ERp57, which could occur within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum will be discussed. Reported post-translational modifications possibly affecting pump activity involve N-glycosylation, glutathionylation and Ca2+/calmodulin kinase II-dependent phosphorylation. Finally, the pronounced vulnerability to oxidative damage of SERCA2 appears to be pivotal in the etiology of various pathologies.

CaMKII inhibition targeted to the sarcoplasmic reticulum inhibits frequency-dependent acceleration of relaxation and Ca2+ current facilitation. J Mol Cell Cardiol 2007; 42:196-205. [PMID: 17052727 PMCID: PMC1828135 DOI: 10.1016/j.yjmcc.2006.09.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 69] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2006] [Accepted: 09/08/2006] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Cardiac Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in heart has been implicated in Ca(2+) current (I(Ca)) facilitation, enhanced sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) release and frequency-dependent acceleration of relaxation (FDAR) via enhanced SR Ca(2+) uptake. However, questions remain about how CaMKII may work in these three processes. Here we tested the role of CaMKII in these processes using transgenic mice (SR-AIP) that express four concatenated repeats of the CaMKII inhibitory peptide AIP selectively in the SR membrane. Wild type mice (WT) and mice expressing AIP exclusively in the nucleus (NLS-AIP) served as controls. Increasing stimulation frequency produced typical FDAR in WT and NLS-AIP, but FDAR was markedly inhibited in SR-AIP. Quantitative analysis of cytosolic Ca(2+) removal during [Ca(2+)](i) decline revealed that FDAR is due to an increased apparent V(max) of SERCA. CaMKII-dependent RyR phosphorylation at Ser2815 and SR Ca(2+) leak was both decreased in SR-AIP vs. WT. This decrease in SR Ca(2+) leak may partly balance the reduced SERCA activity leading to relatively unaltered SR-Ca(2+) load in SR-AIP vs. WT myocytes. Surprisingly, CaMKII regulation of the L-type Ca(2+) channel (I(Ca) facilitation and recovery from inactivation) was abolished by the SR-targeted CaMKII inhibition in SR-AIP mice. Inhibition of CaMKII effects on I(Ca) and RyR function by the SR-localized AIP places physical constraints on the localization of these proteins at the junctional microdomain. Thus SR-targeted CaMKII inhibition can directly inhibit the activation of SR Ca(2+) uptake, SR Ca(2+) release and I(Ca) by CaMKII, effects which have all been implicated in triggered arrhythmias.

Abstract
Intracellular acidosis exerts substantial effects on the contractile performance of the heart. Soon after the onset of acidosis, contractility diminishes, largely due to a decrease in myofilament Ca(2+) responsiveness. This decrease in contractility is followed by a progressive recovery that occurs despite the persistent acidosis. This recovery is the result of different mechanisms that converge to increase diastolic Ca(2+) levels and Ca(2+) transient amplitude. Recent experimental evidence indicates that activation of the Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is an essential step in the sequence of events that increases the Ca(2+) transient amplitude and produces contractile recovery. CaMKII may act as an amplifier, providing compensatory pathways to offset the inhibitory effects of acidosis on many of the Ca(2+) handling proteins. CaMKII-induced phosphorylation of the SERCA2a regulatory protein phospholamban (PLN) has the potential to promote an increase in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) uptake and SR Ca(2+) load, and is a likely candidate to mediate the mechanical recovery from acidosis. In addition, CaMKII-dependent phosphorylation of proteins other than PLN may also contribute to this recovery.

Abstract
Electrophysiological properties of inward rectifier potassium current (I (K1)) and hyperpolarization-activated inward current (I (f)) and the protein expression of the Kir2.1 subfamily and the hyperpolarization-activated cation channel 2 (HCN2) and HCN4 were studied in control and hypertrophied myocytes. Electrophysiological experiments were conducted by whole-cell patch-clamp technique, and protein levels of Kir2.1 subfamily and HCN2 and HCN4 isoforms were analysed by Western blot technique. The density of I (f) as well as the protein expression levels of the HCN2 isoform was found to be significantly higher in hypertrophied myocytes, whereas the protein expression level of HCN4 was not detected in any group. I (K1) density and Kir 2.1 protein expression were similar in control and hypertrophied myocytes, but the time-course of the currents was slower in hypertrophied myocytes. Analysis of I (f) and I (K1) in the same control and hypertrophied myocyte at -80 mV showed that cells in which I (f) was present had values of I (K1) density similar to those cells in which I (f) was not observed. In conclusion, although left ventricular hypertrophy involves an up-regulation of I (f) and its molecular correlate HCN2 in the rat ventricle, its contribution to diastolic depolarization would be limited by the low values of I (f) density at potentials close to the resting potential of the ventricular cells.

Abstract
An increase in stimulation frequency causes an acceleration of myocardial relaxation (FDAR). Several mechanisms have been postulated to explain this effect, among which is the Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMKII)-dependent phosphorylation of the Thr(17) site of phospholamban (PLN). To gain further insights into the mechanisms of FDAR, we studied the FDAR and the phosphorylation of PLN residues in perfused rat hearts, cat papillary muscles and isolated cat myocytes. This allowed us to sweep over a wide range of frequencies, in species with either positive or negative force-frequency relationships, as well as to explore the FDAR under isometric (or isovolumic) and isotonic conditions. Results were compared with those produced by isoprenaline, an intervention known to accelerate relaxation (IDAR) via PLN phosphorylation. While IDAR occurs tightly associated with a significant increase in the phosphorylation of Ser(16) and Thr(17) of PLN, FDAR occurs without significant changes in the phosphorylation of PLN residues in the intact heart and cat papillary muscles. Moreover, in intact hearts, FDAR was not associated with any significant change in the CaMKII-dependent phosphorylation of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA2a), and was not affected by the presence of the CaMKII inhibitor, KN-93. In isolated myocytes, FDAR occurred associated with an increase in Thr(17) phosphorylation. However, for a similar relaxant effect produced by isoprenaline, the phosphorylation of PLN (Ser(16) and Thr(17)) was significantly higher in the presence of the beta-agonist. Moreover, the time course of Thr(17) phosphorylation was significantly delayed with respect to the onset of FDAR. In contrast, the time course of Ser(16) phosphorylation, the first residue that becomes phosphorylated with isoprenaline, was temporally associated with IDAR. Furthermore, KN-93 significantly decreased the phosphorylation of Thr(17) that was evoked by increasing the stimulation frequency, but failed to affect FDAR. Taken together, the results provide direct evidence indicating that CaMKII phosphorylation pathways are not involved in FDAR and that FDAR and IDAR do not share a common underlying mechanism. More likely, a CaMKII-independent mechanism could be involved, whereby increasing stimulation frequency would disrupt the SERCA2a-PLN interaction, leading to an increase in SR Ca(2+) uptake and myocardial relaxation.
