RESUMO

Studies in animal models have suggested that alterations affecting phospholamban-mediated stimulation of Ca2+ uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum are involved in the pathophysiology of heart disease. A monoclonal antibody that binds to phospholamban and stimulates Ca2+ uptake was used to characterize phospholamban-mediated effects in human cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum and to compare these effects in tissue from normal and failing hearts. Stimulation of Ca2+ uptake by anti-phospholamban monoclonal antibody simulated the effect of phosphorylation of phospholamban by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Binding of anti-phospholamban antibody reduced the K0.5 of the Ca2(+)-transporting ATPase from 0.53 microM [( Ca2+]) to 0.29 microM [( Ca2+]), without affecting Vmax or nHill. At 0.2 microM Ca2+, stimulation was 1.93-fold in sarcoplasmic reticulum prepared from normal human left ventricular myocardium and 1.94-fold in sarcoplasmic reticulum prepared from the left ventricular myocardium of patients with heart failure resulting from idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Stimulation of Ca2+ uptake in canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum under identical conditions was 1.89-fold. Phospholamban-mediated stimulation of Ca2+ uptake in human cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum is thus comparable in magnitude to that observed in other species and results from an increase in the apparent affinity of the Ca2(+)-transporting ATPase for Ca2+. The pathogenesis of heart failure in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy does not, however, appear to involve intrinsic alterations of this mechanism.
