- Abstract
Aims Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is the major isotype of serine/threonine phosphatase in cardiomyocytes, and its activity has been thought to be important for heart failure progression. The PP1 catalytic subunits consist of three distinct genes, PP1α, PP1β/δ, and PP1γ. To date, the function of each PP1 isoform is not well characterized in cardiomyocytes. We sought to determine the functional contribution of each PP1 isoform to sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)-mediated Ca2+ cycling in isolated adult rat cardiomyocytes. Methods and results Adenoviral vectors encoding short hairpin RNA for each PP1 isoform were transfected into isolated rat cardiomyocytes, and this was followed by analysis of cell shortening, Ca2+ transients, and the phosphorylation levels of Ca2+ regulatory proteins. Physical interactions between each PP1 isoform and SR Ca2+ regulatory proteins were characterized in isolated cardiomyocytes expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged PP1 catalytic subunits, and also in canine junctional and longitudinal SR preparations. Successful PP1 isoform knockdown was achieved for each isoform without affecting the expression of the other isoforms. PP1β knockdown most significantly enhanced the Ca2+ transient and cell shortening by augmenting phospholamban (PLN) phosphorylation at baseline and with low-dose isoproterenol stimulation (10 nM). Interestingly, PP1β was preferentially associated with sarco-endoplasmic ATPase and PLN in GFP-PP1-transfected cardiomyocytes, as well as in canine longitudinal SR preparations. Conclusion These findings indicate that PP1β is the most significant PP1 isoform involved in regulating SR Ca2+ cycling in rat cardiomyocytes.
