Definitions

  • Heart failure remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide [1-3]. It is characterized by an increased ventricular chamber size and reduced systolic function of the heart. Previous studies support the notion that abnormalities in cardiac contractility cause the initiation and progression of heart failure [4-6].
  • the contractility of cardiomyocytes is directly regulated by intracellular Ca 2+ cycling [7, 8]. A small amount of extracellular Ca 2+ enters cardiomyocytes through the voltage-dependent L-type Ca 2+ channel and is then followed by a large release of Ca 2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) through the ryanodine receptor (RyR) [9]. This increase in intracellular Ca 2+ triggers contraction of the myofilaments.
  • SR sarcoplasmic reticulum
  • RyR ryanodine receptor
  • SERCA2a The activity of SERCA2a is negatively regulated by an endogenous inhibitor, PLB (phospholamban), which in turn is regulated by PKA (protein kinase A), CaMKII (Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II), and PP1 (protein phosphatase 1).
  • PKA protein kinase A
  • CaMKII Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II

  • PLB is an endogenous inhibitor of SERCA2a and is therefore a potential target for modulation of SERCA2a activity.

  • ⁇ PLB-SE elicited cardio-protective effects by restoring SERCA2a activity.
  • ⁇ PLB-SE has several therapeutic advantages over the siRNAs or mutant PLB proteins. Further experiments are warranted to determine if ⁇ PLB-SE is effective in various surgical and genetic models of heart failure.
