Abstract
Heart failure (HF) can be caused by a variety of causes characterized by abnormal myocardial systole and diastole. Ca2+ current through the L-type calcium channel (LTCC) on the membrane is the initial trigger signal for a cardiac cycle. Declined systole and diastole in HF are associated with dysfunction of myocardial Ca2+ function. This disorder can be correlated with unbalanced levels of phosphorylation / dephosphorylation of LTCC, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and myofilament. Kinase and phosphatase activity changes along with HF progress, resulting in phased changes in the degree of phosphorylation / dephosphorylation. It is important to realize the phosphorylation / dephosphorylation differences between a normal and a failing heart. This review focuses on phosphorylation / dephosphorylation changes in the progression of HF and summarizes the effects of phosphorylation / dephosphorylation of LTCC, ER function, and myofilament function in normal conditions and HF based on previous experiments and clinical research. Also, we summarize current therapeutic methods based on abnormal phosphorylation / dephosphorylation and clarify potential therapeutic directions.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Entry of calcium into cardiomyocyte via L-type calcium channel (LTCC) is fundamental to cardiac contraction. CACNA1C, a type of LTCC and a hallmark of a matured ventricular myocyte, is developmentally regulated. Here, we identified 138 potential transcription factors by a comparative genomic study on 5-kb promoter regions of CACNA1C gene across eight vertebrate species, and showed that six factors were developmentally regulated with the expression of Cacna1c in mouse P19cl6 in vitro cardiomyocyte differentiation model. We further demonstrated that the nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (Nfat5) bound to a consensus sequence TGGAAGCGTTC and activated the transcription of Cacna1c. The siRNA-mediated knockdown of Nfat5 suppressed the expression of Cacna1c and decreased L-type calcium current in mouse neonatal cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, morpholino-mediated knockdown of nfat5 in zebrafish prohibited the expression of cacna1c and resulted in a non-contractile ventricle, while over-expression of either cacna1c or nfat5 rescued this impaired phenotype. Thus, NFAT5-mediated expression of CACNA1C is evolutionarily conserved and critical for cardiac electrophysiological development and maturation of cardiomyocyte. KEY MESSAGE Nfat5 binds to a consensus sequence TGGAAGCGTTC in the promoter of Cacna1c. Nfat5 activates the transcription of Cacna1c. Nfat5 knockdown suppresses Cacna1c expression, decreases L-type calcium current, and results in non-beating ventricle. NFAT5-mediated expression of CACNA1C is evolutionarily conserved. NFAT5-mediated CACNA1C expression is critical for cardiac electrophysiological development and maturation.

Abstract
One novel treatment strategy for the diseased heart focuses on the use of pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (SC-CMs) to overcome the heart's innate deficiency for self-repair. However, targeted application of SC-CMs requires in-depth characterization of their true cardiogenic potential in terms of excitability and intercellular coupling at cellular level and in multicellular preparations. In this study, we elucidated the electrical characteristics of single SC-CMs and intercellular coupling quality of cell pairs, and concomitantly compared them with well-characterized murine native neonatal and immortalized HL-1 cardiomyocytes. Firstly, we investigated the electrical properties and Ca(2+) signaling mechanisms specific to cardiac contraction in single SC-CMs. Despite heterogeneity of the new cardiac cell population, their electrophysiological activity and Ca(2+) handling were similar to native cells. Secondly, we investigated the capability of paired SC-CMs to form an adequate subunit of a functional syncytium and analyzed gap junctions and signal transmission by dye transfer in cell pairs. We discovered significantly diminished coupling in SC-CMs compared with native cells, which could not be enhanced by a coculture approach combining SC-CMs and primary CMs. Moreover, quantitative and structural analysis of gap junctions presented significantly reduced connexin expression levels compared with native CMs. Strong dependence of intercellular coupling on gap junction density was further confirmed by computational simulations. These novel findings demonstrate that despite the cardiogenic electrophysiological profile, SC-CMs present significant limitations in intercellular communication. Inadequate coupling may severely impair functional integration and signal transmission, which needs to be carefully considered for the prospective use of SC-CMs in cardiac repair.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that urotensin-II (U-II) plays important roles in cardiovascular actions including cardiac positive inotropic effects and increasing cardiac output. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects of U-II in cardiomyocytes still remain unknown. We show by electrophysiological studies that U-II dose-dependently potentiates L-type Ca(2+) currents (ICa,L) in adult rat ventricular myocytes. This effect was U-II receptor (U-IIR)-dependent and was associated with a depolarizing shift in the voltage dependence of inactivation. Intracellular application of guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate) and pertussis toxin pretreatment both abolished the stimulatory effects of U-II. Dialysis of cells with the QEHA peptide, but not scrambled peptide SKEE, blocked the U-II-induced response. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor wortmannin as well as the class I PI3K antagonist CH132799 blocked the U-II-induced ICa,L response. Protein kinase C antagonists calphostin C and chelerythrine chloride as well as dialysis of cells with 1,2bis(2aminophenoxy)ethaneN,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid abolished the U-II-induced responses, whereas PKCα inhibition or PKA blockade had no effect. Exposure of ventricular myocytes to U-II markedly increased membrane PKCβ1 expression, whereas inhibition of PKCβ1 pharmacologically or by shRNA targeting abolished the U-II-induced ICa,L response. Functionally, we observed a significant increase in the amplitude of sarcomere shortening induced by U-II; blockade of U-IIR as well as PKCβ inhibition abolished this effect, whereas Bay K8644 mimicked the U-II response. Taken together, our results indicate that U-II potentiates ICa,L through the βγ subunits of Gi/o-protein and downstream activation of the class I PI3K-dependent PKCβ1 isoform. This occurred via the activation of U-IIR and contributes to the positive inotropic effect on cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
β1 integrins (β1) transduce mechanical signals in many cells, including cardiac myocytes (CM). Given their close localization, as well as their role in mechanotransduction and signaling, we hypothesized that caveolin (Cav) proteins might regulate integrins in the CM. β1 localization, complex formation, activation state, and signaling were analyzed using wild-type, Cav3 knockout, and Cav3 CM-specific transgenic heart and myocyte samples. Studies were performed under basal and mechanically loaded conditions. We found that: (1) β1 and Cav3 colocalize in CM and coimmunoprecipitate from CM protein lysates; (2) β1 is detected in a subset of caveolae; (3) loss of Cav3 caused reduction of β1D integrin isoform and active β1 integrin from the buoyant domains in the heart; (4) increased expression of myocyte Cav3 correlates with increased active β1 integrin in adult CM; (5) in vivo pressure overload of the wild-type heart results in increased activated integrin in buoyant membrane domains along with increased association between active integrin and Cav3; and (6) Cav3-deficient myocytes have perturbed basal and stretch mediated signaling responses. Thus, Cav3 protein can modify integrin function and mechanotransduction in the CM and intact heart.

Abstract
Chronic increases in myofilament Ca(2+)-sensitivity in the heart are known to alter gene expression potentially modifying Ca(2+)-homeostasis and inducing arrhythmias. We tested age-dependent effects of a chronic increase in myofilament Ca(2+)-sensitivity on induction of altered alter gene expression and activity of Ca(2+) transport systems in cardiac myocytes. Our approach was to determine the relative contributions of the major mechanisms responsible for restoring Ca(2+) to basal levels in field stimulated ventricular myocytes. Comparisons were made from ventricular myocytes isolated from non-transgenic (NTG) controls and transgenic mice expressing the fetal, slow skeletal troponin I (TG-ssTnI) in place of cardiac TnI (cTnI). Replacement of cTnI by ssTnI induces an increase in myofilament Ca(2+)-sensitivity. Comparisons included myocytes from relatively young (5-7months) and older mice (11-13months). Employing application of caffeine in normal Tyrode and in 0Na(+) 0Ca(2+) solution, we were able to dissect the contribution of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump (SR Ca(2+)-ATPase), the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX), and "slow mechanisms" representing the activity of the sarcolemmal Ca(2+) pump and the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter. The relative contribution of the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase to restoration of basal Ca(2+) levels in younger TG-ssTnI myocytes was lower than in NTG (81.12±2.8% vs 92.70±1.02%), but the same in the older myocytes. Younger and older NTG myocytes demonstrated similar contributions from the SR Ca(2+)-ATPase and NCX to restoration of basal Ca(2+). However, the slow mechanisms for Ca(2+) removal were increased in the older NTG (3.4±0.3%) vs the younger NTG myocytes (1.4±0.1%). Compared to NTG, younger TG-ssTnI myocytes demonstrated a significantly bigger contribution of the NCX (16±2.7% in TG vs 6.9±0.9% in NTG) and slow mechanisms (3.3±0.4% in TG vs 1.4±0.1% in NTG). In older TG-ssTnI myocytes the contributions were not significantly different from NTG (NCX: 4.9±0.6% in TG vs 5.5±0.7% in NTG; slow mechanisms: 2.5±0.3% in TG vs 3.4±0.3% in NTG). Our data indicate that constitutive increases in myofilament Ca(2+)-sensitivity alter the relative significance of the NCX transport system involved in Ca(2+)-homeostasis only in a younger group of mice. This modification may be of significance in early changes in altered gene expression and electrical stability hearts with increased myofilament Ca-sensitivity.

Abstract
Calcineurin, a serine-threonine-specific, Ca(2+)-calmodulin-activated protein phosphatase, conserved from yeast to humans, plays a key role in regulating cardiac development, hypertrophy, and pathological remodeling. Recent studies demonstrate that calcineurin regulates cardiomyocyte ion channels and receptors in a manner which often entails direct interaction with these target proteins. Here, we review the current state of knowledge of calcineurin-mediated regulation of ion channels in the myocardium with emphasis on the transient outward potassium current (Ito) and L-type calcium current (ICa,L). We go on to discuss unanswered questions that surround these observations and provide perspective on future directions in this exciting field.

Abstract
Significant up-regulation of the protein kinase Cβ(II) (PKCβ(II)) develops during heart failure and yet divergent functional outcomes are reported in animal models. The goal here is to investigate PKCβ(II) modulation of contractile function and gain insights into downstream targets in adult cardiac myocytes. Increased PKCβ(II) protein expression and phosphorylation developed after gene transfer into adult myocytes while expression remained undetectable in controls. The PKCβ(II) was distributed in a peri-nuclear pattern and this expression resulted in diminished rates and amplitude of shortening and re-lengthening compared to controls and myocytes expressing dominant negative PKCβ(II) (PKCβDN). Similar decreases were observed in the Ca(2+) transient and the Ca(2+) decay rate slowed in response to caffeine in PKCβ(II)-expressing myocytes. Parallel phosphorylation studies indicated PKCβ(II) targets phosphatase activity to reduce phospholamban (PLB) phosphorylation at residue Thr17 (pThr17-PLB). The PKCβ inhibitor, LY379196 (LY) restored pThr17-PLB to control levels. In contrast, myofilament protein phosphorylation was enhanced by PKCβ(II) expression, and individually, LY and the phosphatase inhibitor, calyculin A each failed to block this response. Further work showed PKCβ(II) increased Ca(2+)-activated, calmodulin-dependent kinase IIδ (CaMKIIδ) expression and enhanced both CaMKIIδ and protein kinase D (PKD) phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of both signaling targets also was resistant to acute inhibition by LY. These later results provide evidence PKCβ(II) modulates contractile function via intermediate downstream pathway(s) in cardiac myocytes.

Abstract
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder linked to numerous mutations in the sarcomeric proteins. The clinical presentation of FHC is highly variable, but it is a major cause of sudden cardiac death in young adults with no specific treatments. We tested the hypothesis that early intervention in Ca(2+) regulation may prevent pathological hypertrophy and improve cardiac function in a FHC displaying increased myofilament sensitivity to Ca(2+) and diastolic dysfunction. A transgenic (TG) mouse model of FHC with a mutation in tropomyosin at position 180 was employed. Adenoviral-Serca2a (Ad.Ser) was injected into the left ventricle of 1-day-old non-transgenic (NTG) and TG mice. Ad.LacZ was injected as a control. Serca2a protein expression was significantly increased in NTG and TG hearts injected with Ad.Ser for up to 6 weeks. Compared to TG-Ad.LacZ hearts, the TG-Ad.Ser hearts showed improved whole heart morphology. Moreover, there was a significant decline in ANF and β-MHC expression. Developed force in isolated papillary muscle from 2- to 3-week-old TG-Ad.Ser hearts was higher and the response to isoproterenol (ISO) improved compared to TG-Ad.LacZ muscles. In situ hemodynamic measurements showed that by 3 months the TG-Ad.Ser hearts also had a significantly improved response to ISO compared to TG-Ad.LacZ hearts. The present study strongly suggests that Serca2a expression should be considered as a potential target for gene therapy in FHC. Moreover, our data imply that development of FHC can be successfully delayed if therapies are started shortly after birth.

Abstract
RATIONALE Recent studies have highlighted important roles of CaMKII in regulating Ca(2+) handling and excitation-contraction coupling. However, the cardiac effect of chronic CaMKII inhibition has not been well understood. OBJECTIVE We have tested the alterations of L-type calcium current (I(Ca)) and cardiac function in CaMKIIdelta knockout (KO) mouse left ventricle (LV). METHODS AND RESULTS We used the patch-clamp method to record I(Ca) in ventricular myocytes and found that in KO LV, basal I(Ca) was significantly increased without changing the transmural gradient of I(Ca) distribution. Substitution of Ba(2+) for Ca(2+) showed similar increase in I(Ba). There was no change in the voltage dependence of I(Ca) activation and inactivation. I(Ca) recovery from inactivation, however, was significantly slowed. In KO LV, the Ca(2+)-dependent I(Ca) facilitation (CDF) and I(Ca) response to isoproterenol (ISO) were significantly reduced. However, ISO response was reversed by beta2-adrenergic receptor (AR) inhibition. Western blots showed a decrease in beta1-AR and an increase in Ca(v)1.2, beta2-AR, and Galphai3 protein levels. Ca(2+) transient and sarcomere shortening in KO myocytes were unchanged at 1-Hz but reduced at 3-Hz stimulation. Echocardiography in conscious mice revealed an increased basal contractility in KO mice. However, cardiac reserve to work load and beta-adrenergic stimulation was reduced. Surprisingly, KO mice showed a reduced heart rate in response to work load or beta-adrenergic stimulation. CONCLUSIONS Our results implicate physiological CaMKII activity in maintaining normal I(Ca), Ca(2+) handling, excitation-contraction coupling, and the in vivo heart function in response to cardiac stress.

Abstract
We investigated the role of inducible NOS (iNOS) on cardiac function during the development of left ventricular hypertrophy. Hypertrophy was induced by pressure-overload via short-term (2.5 months) or long-term (6.5 months) aortic banding (AoB) in wild-type (WT) and iNOS knock out (iNOSKO) mice. Cardiac function was then assessed via echocardiography, in situ hemodynamics and papillary muscle force measurements. Quantitative RT-PCR and Western blots were used to measure expression of hypertrophic gene markers and proteins respectively. Our data demonstrate that increased afterload via AoB leads to increased expression of iNOS that is associated with cardiac dysfunction. In pressure-overload induced hypertrophy, iNOSKO delays both the expression of hypertrophic markers and contractile dysfunction without causing significant changes in the level of hypertrophy. Moreover, after long-term AoB, iNOSKO animals exhibited increased basal cardiac function and an improved response to beta-adrenergic stimulation compared to long-term AoB WT animals. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that NO production via iNOS plays an important role in modulating cardiac function after moderate AoB that mimics long-term hypertension in humans.

Abstract
L-type Ca(2+) channels are mediators of Ca(2+) influx and the regulatory events accompanying it and are pivotal in the function and dysfunction of ventricular cardiac myocytes. L-type Ca(2+) channels are located in sarcolemma, including the T-tubules facing the sarcoplasmic reticulum junction, and are activated by membrane depolarization, but intracellular Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation limits Ca(2+) influx during action potential. I(CaL) is important in heart function because it triggers excitation-contraction coupling, modulates action potential shape and is involved in cardiac arrhythmia. L-type Ca(2+) channels are multi-subunit complexes that interact with several molecules involved in their regulations, notably by beta-adrenergic signaling. The present review highlights some of the recent findings on L-type Ca(2+) channel function, regulation, and alteration in acquired pathologies such as cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure and diabetic cardiomyopathy, as well as in inherited arrhythmic cardiac diseases such as Timothy and Brugada syndromes.

Abstract
The birth of molecular cardiology can be traced to the development and implementation of high-fidelity genetic approaches for manipulating the heart. Recombinant viral vector-based technology offers a highly effective approach to genetically engineer cardiac muscle in vitro and in vivo. This review highlights discoveries made in cardiac muscle physiology through the use of targeted viral-mediated genetic modification. Here the history of cardiac gene transfer technology and the strengths and limitations of viral and nonviral vectors for gene delivery are reviewed. A comprehensive account is given of the application of gene transfer technology for studying key cardiac muscle targets including Ca(2+) handling, the sarcomere, the cytoskeleton, and signaling molecules and their posttranslational modifications. The primary objective of this review is to provide a thorough analysis of gene transfer studies for understanding cardiac physiology in health and disease. By comparing results obtained from gene transfer with those obtained from transgenesis and biophysical and biochemical methodologies, this review provides a global view of cardiac structure-function with an eye towards future areas of research. The data presented here serve as a basis for discovery of new therapeutic targets for remediation of acquired and inherited cardiac diseases.

Abstract
Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) activity is increased in heart failure (HF), a syndrome characterized by markedly increased risk of arrhythmia. Activation of CaMKII increases peak L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca)) and slows I(Ca) inactivation. Whether these events are linked mechanistically is unknown. I(Ca) was recorded in acutely dissociated subepicardial and subendocardial murine left ventricular (LV) myocytes using the whole cell patch clamp method. Pressure overload heart failure was induced by surgical constriction of the thoracic aorta. I(Ca) density was significantly larger in subepicardial myocytes than in subendocardial/myocytes. Similar patterns were observed in the cell surface expression of alpha1c, the channel pore-forming subunit. In failing LV, I(Ca) density was increased proportionately in both cell types, and the time course of I(Ca) inactivation was slowed. This typical pattern of changes suggested a role of CaMKII. Consistent with this, measurements of CaMKII activity revealed a 2-3-fold increase (p < 0.05) in failing LV. To test for a causal link, we measured frequency-dependent I(Ca) facilitation. In HF myocytes, this CaMKII-dependent process could not be induced, suggesting already maximal activation. Internal application of active CaMKII in failing myocytes did not elicit changes in I(Ca). Finally, CaMKII inhibition by internal diffusion of a specific peptide inhibitor reduced I(Ca) density and inactivation time course to similar levels in control and HF myocytes. I(Ca) density manifests a significant transmural gradient, and this gradient is preserved in heart failure. Activation of CaMKII, a known pro-arrhythmic molecule, is a major contributor to I(Ca) remodeling in load-induced heart failure.

Abstract
AIMS In cardiomyocytes, protein kinase D1 (PKD1) plays a central role in the response to stress signals. From a yeast two-hybrid assay, we have identified Enigma Homolog 1 (ENH1) as a new binding partner of PKD1. Since in neurons, ENH1, associated with protein kinase Cepsilon, was shown to modulate the activity of N-type calcium channels, and the pore-forming subunit of the cardiac L-type voltage-gated calcium channel, alpha1C, possesses a potential phosphorylation site for PKD1, we studied here a possible role of ENH1 and PKD1 in the regulation of the cardiac L-type voltage-gated calcium channel. METHODS AND RESULTS PKD1-interacting proteins were searched by yeast two-hybrid screening. In vivo protein interactions in cardiomyocytes isolated from heart ventricles of newborn rats were tested by co-immunoprecipitation. Small interfering RNA and a dominant negative mutant of PKD1 were delivered into cardiomyocytes by use of an adenovirus. Calcium currents were measured by the patch-clamp technique. Both ENH1 and PKD1 interact with alpha1C in cardiomyocytes. This interaction is increased upon stimulation. Silencing of ENH1 prevented the binding of PKD1 to alpha1C. Moreover, a dominant negative mutant of PKD1 or the silencing of ENH1 inhibited the alpha-adrenergic-induced increase of L-type calcium currents. CONCLUSION We found a new binding partner, ENH1, and a new target, alpha1C, for PKD1 in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. We propose a model where ENH1 scaffolds PKD1 to alpha1C in order to form a signalling complex that regulates the activity of cardiac L-type voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels.

Abstract
With aging, the heart develops myocyte hypertrophy associated with impaired relaxation indices. To define the cellular basis of this adaptation, we examined the physiological changes that arise in calcium handling in the aging heart and contrasted the adaptations that occur following the imposition of a stimulus that alters calcium homeostasis in a young and an old heart. We utilized a cardiac-specific conditional transgenic approach to "switch on" protein kinase (PKC)-beta II expression in mice at different stages of adult life (3 and 12 months) and characterized alterations in ICa and calcium release in wild-type (WT) and PKC-beta II-expressing cells. Amplitude or voltage dependence of ICa were not significantly altered by expression of PKC-beta II at any age. No significant differences in calcium-release properties were seen with age. Upon activation of PKC-beta II, the amplitude of the calcium transient was larger, and the calcium spark frequency was greater in PKC-beta II mice compared to WT at both 3 and 12 months. Spark amplitude increased only in the 12-month PKC-beta II mice. These changes occurred in parallel with an increase in cell size (as determined by capacitance measurements) in the 12-month PKC-beta II mice but not the 3-month PKC-beta II mice. These data suggest that alterations in the calcium-handling machinery of the cardiocyte differ in the context of age and as such may predispose the older heart to the development of a hypertrophic phenotype.

Abstract
Neural deficits suggestive of involvement of the GABA signaling pathway can often be detected early in the course of diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of blindness in the United States. To examine in greater detail the nature of the neuronal changes associated with hyperglycemia, we investigated GABA receptor activity on retinal bipolar cells in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats; cells from age-matched normal rats served as controls. Patch-clamp recordings from isolated rod-bipolar cells revealed that diabetes enhanced the whole cell currents elicited by GABA. Responses of the GABA(C) receptor, the predominant GABA receptor on rat rod bipolar cells, exhibited a greater sensitivity to GABA, larger maximum current responses, slower response kinetics, and a smaller single channel conductance among diabetic cells relative to those recorded from normal controls. Compared with the properties of homomeric rho1 and heteromeric rho1rho2 receptors formed in a heterologous expression system, these results suggested that there was a greater contribution from the rho1 subunit in the GABA(C) receptor-mediated response of diabetic cells. The levels of mRNA, measured with real-time RT-PCR, were consistent with this finding. There was a significant enhancement in the ratio of rho1/rho2 subunit expression in the retina of diabetic animals, although the levels of GABA rho1 subunit expression were comparable in diabetic and normal retinas. Taken together, the results suggest that diabetes modifies the subunit composition of the GABA(C) receptor on retinal neurons, most likely through its effect on the efficacy of gene transcription.

Abstract
Regulation of cellular Ca(2+) cycling is central to myocardial contractile function. Loss of Ca(2+) regulation is associated with cardiac dysfunction and pathology. Estrogen has been shown to modify contractile function and to confer cardioprotection. Therefore, we investigated the effect of estrogen on expression of rat heart myocardial Ca(2+)-handling proteins and beta-adrenergic receptor (beta(1)-AR) and examined functional correlates. Female rats were sham-operated (SHAM) or ovariectomized. Two weeks after ovariectomy rats were injected (i.p.) daily with estradiol benozoate (OVX+EB) or sesame oil (OVX) for 2 weeks. Protein abundance was measured by immunoblotting and mRNA was quantified by real-time RT-PCR. OVX significantly decreased estrogen and progesterone levels and EB replacement returned both estrogen and progesterone to physiological levels. OVX induced a 75% reduction of uterine weight and a gain in body weight. Replacement restored weights to SHAM level. OVX increased and estrogen-replacement normalized abundance of beta(1)-AR and L-type Ca(2+) channel (Cav1.2) protein. OVX decreased sodium-Ca(2+) exchange protein (NCX) and estrogen restored protein abundance to SHAM levels. Sarcoplasmic reticular ATPase (SERCA), phospholamban (PLB), and ryanodine receptor (RyR) abundance was not altered by hormone status. Levels of mRNA encoding for beta(1)-AR, Cav1.2, and NCX were not influenced by OVX or estrogen replacement. OVX had no effect on SERCA and PLB mRNA level but estrogen replacement elicited a significant increase compared to OVX and SHAM. Estrogen-dependent changes in Ca(2+)-handling proteins and beta(1)-AR are theoretically consistent reduced myocellular Ca(2+) load. However, hormone-dependent alterations in protein were not associated with changes in contractile function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transient outward current (I(to)) and L-type calcium current (I(Ca)) are important repolarization currents in cardiac myocytes. These two currents often undergo disease-related remodeling while other currents are spared, suggesting a functional coupling between them. Here, we investigated the effects of I(to) channel blockers, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) and heteropodatoxin-2 (HpTx2), on I(Ca) in cardiac ventricular myocytes. METHODS AND RESULTS I(Ca) was recorded in enzymatically dissociated mouse and guinea pig ventricular myocytes using the whole-cell voltage clamp method. In mouse ventricular myocytes, 4-AP (2 mM) significantly facilitated I(Ca) by increasing current amplitude and slowing inactivation. These effects were not voltage-dependent. Similar facilitating effects were seen when equimolar Ba2+ was substituted for external Ca2+, indicating that Ca2+ influx is not required. Measurements of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMKII) activity revealed significant increases in cells treated with 4-AP. Pretreatment of cells with 10 microM KN93, a specific inhibitor of CaMKII, abolished the effects of 4-AP on I(Ca.) To test the requirement of I(to), we studied guinea pig ventricular myocytes, which do not express I(to) channels. In these cells, 2 mM 4-AP had no effect on I(Ca) amplitude or kinetics. In both cell types, Ca2+-induced I(Ca) facilitation, a CaMKII-dependent process, was observed. However, 4-AP abolished Ca2+-induced I(Ca) facilitation exclusively in mouse ventricular myocytes. CONCLUSION 4-AP, an I(to) blocker, facilitates L-type Ca2+ current through a mechanism involving the I(to) channel and CaMKII activation. These data indicate a functional association of I(Ca) and I(to) in cardiac myocytes.

Abstract
Cardiac troponin I is a phosphorylation target for endothelin-activated protein kinase C. Earlier work in cardiac myocytes expressing nonphosphorylatable slow skeletal troponin I provided evidence that protein kinase C-mediated cardiac troponin I phosphorylation accelerates relaxation. However, replacement with the slow skeletal isoform also alters the myofilament pH response and the Ca2+ transient, which could influence endothelin-mediated relaxation. Here, differences in the Ca2+ transient could not explain the divergent relaxation response to endothelin in myocytes expressing cardiac versus slow skeletal troponin I nor could activation of Na+/H+ exchange. Three separate clusters within cardiac troponin I are phosphorylated by protein kinase C, and we set out to determine the contribution of the Thr144 and Ser23/Ser24 clusters to the endothelin-mediated contractile response. Myocyte replacement with a cardiac troponin I containing a Thr144 substituted with the Pro residue found in slow skeletal troponin I resulted in prolonged relaxation in response to acute endothelin compared with control myocytes. Ser23/Ser24 also is a target for protein kinase C phosphorylation of purified cardiac troponin I, and although this cluster was not acutely phosphorylated in intact myocytes, significant phosphorylation developed within 1 h after adding endothelin. Replacement of Ser23/Ser24 with Ala indicated that this cluster contributes significantly to relaxation during more prolonged endothelin stimulation. Overall, results with these mutants provide evidence that Thr144 plays an important role in the acute acceleration of relaxation, whereas Ser23/Ser24 contributes to relaxation during more prolonged activation of protein kinase C by endothelin.

Abstract
Myocardial cell death is an important contributor to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. It has been proposed that diabetes-mediated upregulation of the renin-angiotensin system leads to oxidative stress, the trigger for cardiomyocyte death and contractile dysfunction. However, the adverse effect of ANG II on the diabetic heart may extend beyond the development of the cardiomyopathy. ANG II also alters specific modulators of ischemic injury, such as PKC and calcium transport. Therefore, the present study examined the effect of ANG II on hyperglycemic preconditioning, a glucose-mediated condition associated with the elevation of PKC activity and alterations in calcium transport that render the cell resistant to hypoxia. Exposure of the glucose-treated cell to ANG II during the prehypoxic period blocked glucose-mediated cardioprotection. The reversal of hyperglycemic preconditioning was associated with enhanced accumulation of Ca(2+) during hypoxia, an effect prevented by inhibition of the Na(+)/ H(+) exchanger and the T-type Ca(2+) channel. The inhibitors of hypoxia-mediated Ca(2+) accumulation also blocked the reversal of hyperglycemic preconditioning by ANG II. Thus ANG II and glucose treatment exert opposite actions on the Na(+)/ H(+) exchanger and the T-type Ca(2+) channel. Because those transporters are involved in hypoxia-mediated apoptosis, they are logical candidates for the beneficial effects of high glucose and the adverse effects of ANG II on the hypoxic cardiomyocyte.

Abstract
The precise localization and role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptors (InsP3Rs) in cardiac muscle cells are largely unknown. It is believed that waves and oscillations in cytosolic free calcium triggered by activation of InsP3Rs underlie modifications of cellular responses that lead to changes in gene expression in other cells. However, how changes in cytosolic calcium alter gene expression in cardiac cells is unknown. Moreover, it is unclear how changes in cytosolic calcium that alter gene expression do so independently of effects of calcium on other cellular functions, such as contraction. Here we show that InsP3R type 2 is the only isoform present in cardiac myocytes isolated from neonatal mouse ventricles. We also show that type 2 InsP3Rs are associated with the nucleus and that activation of type 2 InsP3Rs with endothelin-1 or phenylephrine selectively increases transcription of atrial natriuretic factor and skeletal α-actin. Type 2 InsP3Rs are also in striations. Activation of InsP3Rs with adenophostin A in permeabilized cells induced calcium release in the nuclear domain and other regions of the cell away from the nucleus. Agonist-induced increase in gene expression and calcium release were blocked by the InsP3R inhibitors 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and xestospongin C. The spatial separation of type 2 InsP3Rs provides support for the concept that microdomains of calcium discretely alter various cell processes. Our experiments suggest that calcium released by InsP3Rs in the nuclear domain provides a direct mechanism for the control of gene expression, whereas release of calcium in the cytoplasm may modulate other processes, such as contraction.

Abstract
We have observed a lengthening of the duration between spontaneous cardiac contractions under conditions that preferentially activate the epsilon protein kinase C (epsilonPKC) isozyme. Therefore, we investigated whether this response could be selectively mediated by epsilonPKC in neonatal cardiac myocytes (NCMs) and adult rat ventricular trabeculae. Contraction of NCMs was monitored using light scattering techniques and trabecular force generation was monitored in tissue baths using a force transducer. The involvement of the epsilonPKC isozyme was confirmed using an epsilonPKC-selective translocation inhibitor and Western blot translocation assays. In NCMs 3 nM 4-beta phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) treatment preferentially activates (translocates) epsilonPKC. In this study 3 nM 4-beta PMA induced a 2-fold increase in contractile amplitude and a approximately 14-fold increase in the quiescent period between contractions in NCMs. Extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) also enhanced contractile amplitude by 1.7-fold and the quiescent period duration by 8-fold. The enhancement of quiescent period duration was attenuated by an epsilonPKC-selective translocation inhibitor. To investigate these relationships in intact myocardium, we studied spontaneously beating adult rat ventricular trabecula. In these fibers contractile amplitude was only modestly enhanced; however, the quiescent period was lengthened by 4.5-fold following a 15-min exposure to 3 nM 4-beta PMA. 4-beta PMA treatment also promoted arrhythmogenesis and increased the association of epsilonPKC with the particulate fraction in these fibers. Our results suggest that epsilonPKC may influence a specific phase of ventricular myocyte spontaneous beating. A better understanding of epsilonPKC modulation of spontaneous cardiac contraction may improve our understanding of the molecular events contributing to ventricular automaticity.

Abstract
We report characterization of a transgenic mouse that overexpresses constitutively active protein kinase Cε in the heart and slowly develops a dilated cardiomyopathy with failure. The hemodynamic, mechanical, and biochemical properties of these hearts demonstrate a series of temporal events that mark the progression of the disease. In the 3-month transgenic (TG) animals, contractile properties and gene expression measurements are normal, but an increase in myofibrillar Ca
2+
sensitivity and thin filament protein phosphorylation is noted. At 6 months, there is a decrease in the myofibrillar Ca
2+
sensitivity, a significant increase in β-myosin heavy chain mRNA and protein, normal cardiac function, but a blunted response to an inotropic challenge. The transition at 9 months is especially interesting because age-related changes appear to contribute to the decline in function seen in the TG heart. At this point, there is a decline in baseline function and maximum tension produced by the myofibrils, which is coincident with the onset of atrial myosin light chain isoform re-expression in the ventricles. In the 12-month TG mice, there is clear hemodynamic and geometric evidence of failure. Alterations in the composition of the myofibrils persist but the phosphorylation of myosin light chain 2v is dramatically different at this age compared with all others. We interpret these data to implicate the disruption of the myofibrillar proteins and their interactions in the propagation of dilated cardiac disease.

Abstract
The synthesis of muscle protein is restrained during dietary protein restriction. This is widely understood to vary quantitatively with the degree of nutritional deprivation, but there has been little discussion of qualitative changes in muscle protein deriving from dietary protein restriction. We studied 14 healthy subjects in a 2-sample study. Subjects were randomly assigned to a diet providing an ample, American-style protein intake (1.67 g. kg fat-free mass(-1). d(-1)) or a diet approximating the mean minimum adult protein requirement (0.71 g. kg fat-free mass(-1). d(-1)). We found that consumption of an isoenergetic diet at the mean adult minimum protein requirement for 4 wk produced an 81% lower fractional synthesis rate of myosin heavy chain (MHC) proteins in vastus lateralis muscle than did consumption of an ample protein diet (P = 0.05). Protein deprivation altered the skeletal muscle myosin composition such that the proportion of the total myosin content represented by fast-twitch MHC IIx was 51% lower than with ample intake (P = 0.013). The steady state content of MHC IIx messenger RNA (mRNA) did not differ in subjects consuming the minimum requirement of protein, suggesting that the reduced proportion of MHC IIx arises from posttranscriptional events. A 68% lower rate of 3-methylhistidine excretion with protein restriction (P < 0.01) suggests that myofibrillar protein degradation was lower. We conclude that dietary amino acid scarcity produces a change in myosin isoform distribution via posttranscriptional mechanisms. The relative contribution of inhibited myosin synthesis and inhibited degradation to the altered myosin isoform composition remains unknown. This has implications for the mechanisms by which amino acids govern muscle protein composition in vivo, and further exploration is required.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) modulates cardiomyocyte function by phosphorylation of intracellular targets including myofilament proteins. Data generated from studies on in vitro heart preparations indicate that PKC phosphorylation of troponin I (TnI), primarily via PKC-epsilon, may slow the rates of cardiac contraction and relaxation (+dP/dt and -dP/dt). To explore this issue in vivo, we employed transgenic mice [mutant TnI (mTnI) mice] in which the major PKC phosphorylation sites on cardiac TnI were mutated by alanine substitutions for Ser(43) and Ser(45) and studied in situ hemodynamics at baseline and increased inotropy. Hearts from mTnI mice exhibited increased contractility, as shown by a 30% greater +dP/dt and 18% greater -dP/dt than FVB hearts, and had a negligible response to isoproterenol compared with FVB mice, in which +dP/dt increased by 33% and -dP/dt increased by 26%. Treatment with phenylephrine and propranolol gave a similar result; FVB mouse hearts demonstrated a 20% increase in developed pressure, whereas mTnI mice showed no response. Back phosphorylation of TnI from mTnI hearts demonstrated that the mutation of the PKC sites was associated with an enhanced PKA-dependent phosphorylation independent of a change in basal cAMP levels. Our results demonstrate the important role that PKC-dependent phosphorylation of TnI has on the modulation of cardiac function under basal as well as augmented states and indicate interdependence of the phosphorylation sites of TnI in hearts beating in situ.
