Abstract：
:Defective sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ handling is evident in cardiomyopathy and may be mediated by selective dysregulation of SR Ca2+ handling proteins. To assess whether regulation of SR Ca2+ release may vary regionally within the normal and diseased heart, left ventricular transmural expression and activity of the ryanodine receptor (RyR2) was studied in a rabbit coronary artery ligation model of left ventricular dysfunction (LVD). Tissue/cells were isolated from both the sub-endocardial and subepicardial layers of the left ventricular free wall from sham-operated and coronary artery ligated rabbit hearts. Three independent methods were used to study alterations in RyR2 mRNA (real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR)) and protein expression (quantitative immunoblotting and [3H] ryanodine binding). These biochemical data were compared with functional measurements of fractional SR Ca2+ release from both of these regions. Data from RT-PCR revealed lower RyR2 mRNA levels in the sub-endocardium compared with subepicardium in both experimental groups with the reduction being significantly lower in the sub-endocardium from the LVD group. Quantitative analysis of RyR2 protein levels revealed the same expression patterns. Calsequestrin mRNA and protein levels showed no significant changes. This study demonstrates a lower expression level of RyR2 in the sub-endocardium of the left ventricle of rabbit hearts and is the first to show a further specific reduction in LVD. There is a corresponding decrease in fractional SR Ca2+ release in cells isolated from the sub-endocardium of hearts from the LVD group, relating these selective biochemical alterations to changes in function.
