Calcium Handling in Inherited Cardiac Diseases: A Focus on Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Stephane Zaffran, Lilia Kraoua, Hager Jaouadi

Summary: This review discusses the genetic etiology of cardiac diseases related to calcium mishandling, focusing on catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) as a cardiac channelopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) as a primary cardiomyopathy. It emphasizes that calcium-handling perturbations are the common pathophysiological mechanism despite the genetic heterogeneity of cardiac defects.

Acute Detubulation of Ventricular Myocytes Amplifies the Inhibitory Effect of Cholinergic Agonist on Intracellular Ca2+ Transients

Andriy E. Belevych, Vladimir Bogdanov, Dmitry A. Terentyev, Sandor Gyorke

Summary: Muscarinic receptors in cardiac myocytes play a critical role in regulating heart function by influencing Ca2+ handling. Reduced t-tubule density increases the sensitivity of Ca2+ release and propagation to muscarinic receptor inhibition.

Effects of Atrial Fibrillation on the Human Ventricle

Steffen Pabel, Maria Knierim, Thea Stehle, Felix Alebrand, Michael Paulus, Marcel Sieme, Melissa Herwig, Friedrich Barsch, Thomas Koertl, Arnold Poeppl, Brisca Wenner, Senka Ljubojevic-Holzer, Cristina E. Molina, Nataliya Dybkova, Daniele Camboni, Thomas H. Fischer, Simon Sedej, Daniel Scherr, Christof Schmid, Christoph Brochhausen, Gerd Hasenfuss, Lars S. Maier, Nazha Hamdani, Katrin Streckfuss-Boemeke, Samuel Sossalla

Summary: This study investigates the effects and molecular mechanisms of atrial fibrillation (AF) on the human left ventricle (LV). The results demonstrate that AF causes distinct functional and molecular remodeling of the LV, potentially through alterations in reactive oxygen species and CaMKII activity. These findings are significant for our understanding of the impact of AF on the heart.

Transcriptional regulation of intermolecular Ca2+ signaling in hibernating ground squirrel cardiomyocytes: The myocardin-junctophilin axis

Lei Yang, Rong-Chang Li, Bin Xiang, Yi-Chen Li, Li-Peng Wang, Yun-Bo Guo, Jing-Hui Liang, Xiao-Ting Wang, Tingting Hou, Xin Xing, Zeng-Quan Zhou, Haihong Ye, Ren-Qing Feng, Edward G. Lakatta, Zhen Chai, Shi-Qiang Wang

Summary: The contraction of heart cells is regulated by the signaling interaction between LCCs and RyRs, which is influenced by the nanodistance between JPH2 in the SR and CAV3 in the TT. Our study revealed that SRF and myocardin concurrently regulate the expression of JPH2 and CAV3, leading to enhanced efficiency of LCC-RyR signaling and compensation for LCC down-regulation during hibernation, maintaining heart power and avoiding calcium overload.

Acute Genetic Ablation of Cardiac Sodium/Calcium Exchange in Adult Mice: Implications for Cardiomyocyte Calcium Regulation, Cardioprotection, and Arrhythmia

Sabine Lotteau, Rui Zhang, Adina Hazan, Christina Grabar, Devina Gonzalez, Stephan Aynaszyan, Kenneth D. Philipson, Michela Ottolia, Joshua Goldhaber

Summary: This study developed a tamoxifen-inducible NCX1 knockout mouse model, finding that NCX1 KO mice adapt to acute genetic ablation by reducing Ca2+ influx, increasing alternative Ca2+ efflux pathways, and increasing excitation-contraction coupling gain to maintain contractility at the cost of mild hypertrophy and fibrosis, with decreased survival. However, KO myocytes are protected against spontaneous action potentials and ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Predominant cause of faster force recovery in females than males after intense eccentric contractions in mouse fast-twitch muscle

Daiki Watanabe, Ryo Ikegami, Yutaka Kano

Summary: This study investigated the mechanisms underlying faster force recovery from eccentric contractions in female mice compared to male mice. Superior mitochondrial responses and the contribution of estrogen were found to play a significant role in the faster recovery of force in females. These findings highlight the importance of mitochondrial function and estrogen in sex differences in force recovery.

Structures of the junctophilin/voltage-gated calcium channel interface reveal hot spot for cardiomyopathy mutations

Zheng Fang Yang, Pankaj Panwar, Ciaran R. McFarlane, Wietske E. Tuinte, Marta Campiglio, Filip Van Petegem

Summary: Junctophilins (JPH) are proteins that connect the plasma membrane and the endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum, facilitating communication between proteins in different membranes. This study presents crystal structures of two JPH isoforms, revealing their importance in muscle excitation-contraction coupling. Various mutations in JPH2 and the L-type calcium channel affect their interaction and have been linked to cardiomyopathy and cardiac arrhythmia, respectively.

Zhilin Qu, Dasen Yan, Zhen Song

Summary: This article reviews the progress and challenges in modeling intracellular calcium cycling in the cardiac system. The calcium release channels in cardiac myocytes form a network that gives rise to various dynamic processes. Modeling the intracellular calcium cycling dynamics in the cardiac system is challenging due to its complexity.

Transgenic expression of SOD1 specifically in neurons of Sod1 deficient mice prevents defects in muscle mitochondrial function and calcium handling

Yu Su, Bumsoo Ahn, Peter C. D. Macpherson, Rojina Ranjit, Dennis R. Claflin, Holly Van Remmen, Susan Brooks

Summary: Restoring CuZnSOD specifically in neurons of mice deficient in SOD can prevent muscle atrophy and loss of force, and restore mitochondrial function, ROS generation, and calcium handling levels. This suggests that intact neuronal function and innervation are key to maintaining excitation-contraction coupling and muscle mitochondrial function.

Summary: This study compared clinical characteristics and in-hospital outcomes between Japanese and European takotsubo syndrome (TTS) patients, revealing differences in triggers and outcomes between the two ethnic groups. Despite worse in-hospital outcomes for Japanese patients, ethnicity itself does not appear to impact TTS patient outcomes. Machine learning analysis identified physical stressors as the most important prognostic factor for both Japanese and European TTS patients.

Infarct-Related Artery as a Donor of Collaterals in ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction With Concomitant Chronic Total Occlusion: Challenge of the Double-Jeopardy Thesis

Matthias Scholz, Thomas Meyer, Lars S. Maier, Karl Heinrich Scholz

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between chronic total occlusion (CTO) in a non-infarct-related artery (NIRA) and adverse outcomes in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The presence of CTO posed a threat to coronary blood supply, and the origin of intercoronary collaterals was associated with patient survival rate. The results showed that CTO collateralization from the IRA distal to the acute occlusion was associated with a better prognosis.

Insights into the Interaction of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction and Sleep-Disordered Breathing

Michael Wester, Michael Arzt, Frederick Sinha, Lars Siegfried Maier, Simon Lebek

Summary: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a widespread disease with high morbidity and mortality, and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has been found to be closely associated with the development and progression of the obese HFpEF phenotype. Individualized therapeutic strategies and novel technologies like single-cell transcriptomics or CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing are needed to improve treatment outcomes.
