Research Abstract

Although increase in protein phosphatase (PP) 1 activity is proposed as a detrimental mechanism together with impairment of protein kinase A (PKA) activity in several models of heart failure, it remains to be determined 1) whether this PP1 over-activity hypothesis is applicable in genetic models of cardiomyopathy (CM) and 2) if selective inhibition of PP1 can affect heart failure progression. We characterized time course of PP and PKA activity in progression of UMX7.1 hamster cardiomyopathy and investigated the effect of PP1 inhibition by inhibitor -2 (I-2), an endogenous specific inhibitor of PP1 using in vivo high efficiency cardiac gene delivery system as we previously described. We found that 1) increase in PP1 activity precedes severe LV dysfunction but does not accompany impaired PKA activity in the hamster cardiomyopathy and 2) PP1 inhibition is beneficial for preventing progressive LV dysfunction by modifying excessive β-adrenergic stimulation and can be a potential target for treatment of genetic cardiomyopathy and associated heart failure. In vivo cards ac gene transfer of dominant negative phospholamban mutant also prevented progression of post infarction heart failure in rat. There data suggest that genetic modification of Ca2+ regulatory gene by somatic gene transfer alleviate progression of heart fail ure, thus it may be applicable in the clinical settings
