| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Transverse tubules (T-tubules) are invaginations of the sarcolemma and critical for cardiomyocyte contraction. Therefore, T-tubule disorganization is linked to decreased contractility in heart failure. However, the molecular details have remained unclear. Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX1) is essential Ca2+ regulator of myocyte Ca2+ homeostasis and preferentially localized to T-tubule membrane. We found that NCX1 activity was depressed before T-tubule disorganization during the progression of heart failure induced by pressure overload. In addition, the recovery of depressed NCX1 activity by inducing NCX1 expression prevented T-tubule disorganization and heart failure progression. These results suggest that local Ca2+ control beneath the T-tubule membrane is crucial for the maintenance of myocyte structure and function, in which NCX1 has a pivotal role.
