Abstract
Although Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II delta (CaMKIIδ) has been implicated in development of different phenotypes of myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury, its involvement in arrhythmogenesis and cardiac stunning is not sufficiently elucidated. Moreover, the mechanisms by which CaMKIIδ mediates disturbances in excitation-contraction coupling, are not exactly known. To investigate this, KN-93 (0.5 µmol/L), a CaMKII inhibitor, was administered before induction of global ischaemia and reperfusion in isolated Langendorff-perfused rat hearts. Expression of CaMKIIδ and the sarcollemal Ca(2+)-cycling proteins, known to be activated during reperfusion, was analyzed using immunoblotting. KN-93 reduced reperfusion-induced ectopic activity and the incidence of ventricular fibrillation. Likewise, the severity of arrhythmias was lower in KN-treated hearts. During the pre-ischaemia phase, neither inotropic nor chronotropic effects were elicited by KN-93, whereas post-ischaemic contractile recovery was significantly improved. Ischaemia-reperfusion increased the expression of CaMKIIδ and sodium-calcium exchanger (NCX1) proteins without any influence on the protein content of alpha 1c, a pore-forming subunit of L-type calcium ...Continue Reading
