A common trait, likely due to convergence of many regulatory mechanisms, is the changed calcium signalling in cardiac myocytes. The subject of the project is the impairment of calcium signalling in early stages of myocardial injury with emphasis on the role of the ryanodine receptor (RYR2), a protein central for calcium signalling. The methodology is based on comparing the properties of calcium signalling and the microarchitecture of myocytes of rat myocardium exposed to stress stimuli. Myocardium adapted to spontaneous physical activity will be used as a model of physiologically remodelled myocardium. Myocardium from animals treated with a single high dose of isoproterenol (similar to infracted myocardium) and with a single high dose of streptozotocin (similar to diabetic myocardium) will be used as models of injured myocardium. The effect of stress stimuli on myocardial remodelling will be verified in each subject. The extent of physiological and pathological variability of calcium signalling parameters will be determined by comparison with myocytes from myocardia adapted to sedentary regime. The project will allow identification of molecular and cellular factors determining the function of RYR2 in remodelled myocardium and to deduce the critical sites of calcium signalling impairment.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h3><span class=\"H3\">Keywords:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Heart failure, myocardial injury, cardiac myocyte, calcium signalling, ryanodine receptor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h3><span class=\"H3\">Objectives:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The aim of the project is to elucidate the role of molecular and cellular factors of diastolic and systolic calcium signalling in early stages of adaptation of cardiac myocytes to stress stimuli leading to myocardial remodelling. The aim will be reached by examining RYR2 activity in spontaneous and evoked calcium sparks, by examining the activity of single RYR2 and by examining the microarchitecture of the myocytes in experimental models of myocardial injury.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h3><span class=\"H3\">Results:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The project focused on the study of calcium signalling and of the relevant microarchitecture of myocytes during myocardial adaptation to physiological and pathophysiological load.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We have experimentally demonstrated and theoretically explained that upon electrical stimulation only a small fraction of RyR2 channels present in the myocyte undergoes activation. This result opened a new view on regulation of intensity and rate of contraction by regulation of the fraction of RyR2 channels involved in calcium release.<\/li>\n<li>We have experimentally determined the extent of direct regulation of RyR2 activity by calcium and magnesium ions and by ATP from the cytosolic side and by calcium ions from the luminal side of RyR2 in the concentration range encompassing physiological and pathophysiological conditions.<\/li>\n<li>We have identified the position of the binding site for phosphoprotein phosphatase I, important for regulation of RyR function, in the molecular structure of RyR2.<\/li>\n<li>We have elucidated the relationship between the structure of dyadic couplings and the quality of calcium signalling. We have shown that remodelling of myocardium exposed to pathophysiological load is reflected in remodelling of the network of inner membrane systems of the myocytes and in deterioration of calcium signalling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We have identified the main molecular and cellular factors determining the function of the calcium signalling system of cardiac myocytes in early stages of heart failure development and we demonstrated their participation in myocardial remodelling. The results advance understanding of calcium signalling in cardiac myocytes of healthy and experimentally overloaded myocardium. The new findings will aid identification of pathological changes in the structure and function of cardiac myocytes in congenital as well as acquired disorders of RYR2 function and related arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death and heart failure.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h3><span class=\"H3\">Publications:<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"list\" border=\"0\"
