Abstract

We report characterization of a transgenic mouse that overexpresses constitutively active protein kinase Cepsilon 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 Ca2+ sensitivity and thin filament protein phosphorylation is noted. At 6 months, there is a decrease in the myofibrillar Ca2+ sensitivity, a significant increase in beta-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 ...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
