摘要


AIMS:Sarcalumenin (SAR) is a Ca(2+)-binding protein expressed in the longitudinal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of striated muscle cells. Although its Ca(2+)-binding property is similar to that of calsequestrin, its role in the regulation of Ca(2+) cycling remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS:To investigate whether SAR plays an important role in maintaining cardiac function under pressure overload stress, SAR-knockout (SAR-KO) mice were subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC). To examine the relation of SAR with cardiac type of SR Ca(2+) pump, SERCA2a, we designed cDNA expression using cultured cells. We found that SAR expression was significantly downregulated in hypertrophic hearts from three independent animal models. SAR-KO mice experienced higher mortality than did wild-type (WT) mice after TAC. TAC significantly downregulated SERCA2a protein but not mRNA in the SAR-KO hearts, whereas it minimally did so in hearts from WT mice. Accordingly, SR Ca(2+) uptake and cardiac function were significantly reduced in SAR-KO mice after TAC. Then we found that SAR was co-immunoprecipitated with SERCA2a in cDNA-transfected HEK293T cells and mouse ventricular muscles, and that SERCA2a-mediated Ca(2+) uptake was augmented when SAR was co-expressed in HEK293T cells. Furthermore, SAR significantly prolonged the half-life of SERCA2a protein in HEK293T cells. CONCLUSION:These findings suggest that functional interaction between SAR and SERCA2a enhances protein stability of SERCA2a and facilitates Ca(2+) sequestration into the SR. Thus the SAR-SERCA2a interaction plays an essential role in preserving cardiac function under biomechanical stresses such as pressure overload.
