Abstract We evaluated the changes in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) function and the parallel hemodynamic and morphological modifications in a heart subjected to volume overload. We also determined the levels of acylphosphatase, a cytosolic enzyme, that could play a regulatory effect on SR Ca(2+) pump by hydrolyzing the phosphorylated intermediate of this transport system. For this, swine hearts were subjected to volume overload by aorta-cava shunt for 1, 2, or 3 months. Changes in heart contractility reflected modifications of SR function, whose reduction after 1 month of overload was followed by a gradual recovery. A decrease in SERCA2a protein and mRNA content was shown from 1 month and remained for the following 2 months. Phospholamban content and its phosphorylation status were not modified. Acylphosphatase was unchanged at 1 month, but at 2 months this enzyme exhibited an increased activity, protein and mRNA expression. Morphological alterations consisting of the cytoskeletal architectures, intermyofibrillar oedema, swollen mitochondria and abnormality of the membrane system (T-tubule and SR cisternae) were particularly evident after 1 month but almost disappeared after 3 months. These results suggest that our overloaded hearts underwent a substantial recovery of their structural and biochemical properties at 3 months after surgery. A possible involvement of acylphosphatase in the modification of SR function is discussed.

Abstract
Abstract We evaluated the changes in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) function and the parallel hemodynamic and morphological modifications in a heart subjected to volume overload. We also determined the levels of acylphosphatase, a cytosolic enzyme, that could play a regulatory effect on SR Ca(2+) pump by hydrolyzing the phosphorylated intermediate of this transport system. For this, swine hearts were subjected to volume overload by aorta-cava shunt for 1, 2, or 3 months. Changes in heart contractility reflected modifications of SR function, whose reduction after 1 month of overload was followed by a gradual recovery. A decrease in SERCA2a protein and mRNA content was shown from 1 month and remained for the following 2 months. Phospholamban content and its phosphorylation status were not modified. Acylphosphatase was unchanged at 1 month, but at 2 months this enzyme exhibited an increased activity, protein and mRNA expression. Morphological alterations consisting of the cytoskeletal architectures, intermyofibrillar oedema, swollen mitochondria and abnormality of the membrane system (T-tubule and SR cisternae) were particularly evident after 1 month but almost disappeared after 3 months. These results suggest that our overloaded hearts underwent a substantial recovery of their structural and biochemical properties at 3 months after surgery. A possible involvement of acylphosphatase in the modification of SR function is discussed.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
