Background. This study was undertaken to determine relative contributions of phosphorylation and oxidation to the increased activity of calcium/calmodulin-stimulated protein kinase II (CaMKII) in juveniles with cardiac myocyte dysfunction due to increased pressure overload. Methods. Juvenile rats underwent abdominal aortic constriction to induce heart failure. Four weeks after surgery, rats were then randomly divided into two groups: one group given valsartan (HF + Val) and the other group given placebo (HF + PBO). Simultaneously, the sham-operated rats were randomly given valsartan (Sham + Val) or placebo (Sham + PBO). After 4 weeks of treatment, Western blot analysis was employed to quantify CaMKII and relative calcium handling proteins (RyR2 and PLN) in all groups. Results. The deteriorated cardiac function was reversed by valsartan treatment. In ventricular muscle cells of group HF + PBO, Thr287 phosphorylation of CaMKII and S2808 phosphorylation of RyR2 and PLN were increased and S16 phosphorylation of PLN was decreased compared to the other groups, while Met281 oxidation was not significantly elevated. In addition, these changes in the expression of calcium handling proteins were ameliorated by valsartan administration. Conclusions. The phosphorylation of Thr286 is associated with the early activation of CaMKII rather than the oxidation of Met281.

Abstract Background Differences in cardiovascular disease risk between men and women have been partly attributed to the cardioprotective effects of oestrogen. Long-term oestrogen deficiency has been shown to alter cardiomyocyte intracellular calcium handling, but little is known about the mechanisms by which these changes occur. Oestrogen is thought to induce both genomic and non-genomic effects on cardiomyocytes, the latter including phosphorylation of calcium handling proteins. Purpose This study addresses the hypothesis that long-term oestrogen deficiency increases protein kinase A (PKA) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) phosphorylation in cardiomyocytes, resulting in altered intracellular calcium regulation. Methods Female guinea pigs underwent sham (n = 7) or ovariectomy (OVx) (n = 8) operations and 150 days later, left ventricular myocytes were enzymatically isolated and loaded with fluo-4AM to monitor intracellular calcium. Calcium transients (CaT) were recorded using confocal microscopy. PKA and CaMKII phosphorylation were inhibited by superfusing cells with specific inhibitors, PKI and AIP, respectively. Experiments were carried out both in the presence and absence of β-agonist, isoprenaline (ISO), and relative changes to CaT parameters compared between OVx and sham cells. Results CaT amplitude was greater (p < 0.05) in the OVx group (ΔF/Fo= 2.51 ± 0.57) compared with sham (ΔF/Fo = 2.16 ± 0.57). Inhibition of CaMKII phosphorylation increased CaT amplitude in the sham but not OVx group, both in the presence (by 22%, p < 0.01) and absence of ISO (by 19%, p < 0.01). Time to peak of the CaT increased to a greater extent following inhibition of PKA and CaMKII phosphorylation in the OVx group compared with sham, both in the presence (by 69%, p < 0.0001) and absence (by 162%, p < 0.0001) of ISO respectively. CaT decay time significantly increased (by 21%, p < 0.01) in the sham group following inhibition of PKA and CaMKII together, whilst decay times in the OVx group remained unchanged in the presence and absence of ISO. At higher pacing rates, time to peak of the CaT decreased significantly (by 48%, p < 0.01) in the OVx group but not sham with inhibition of phosphorylation. Conclusion Our findings suggest ovariectomy alters intracellular calcium regulation and some of these effects appear to be mediated by alterations in phosphorylation of calcium handling proteins and/or changes to sites of phosphorylation.
