Biological actions of green tea catechins on cardiac troponin C

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Catechins, biologically active polyphenols in green tea, are known to have a protective effect against cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we investigated direct actions of green tea catechins on cardiac muscle function to explore their uses as potential drugs for cardiac muscle disease. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The effects of catechins were systematically investigated on the force‐pCa relationship in skinned cardiac muscle fibres to determine their direct effects on cardiac myofilament… Show more

“…NMR has been utilized to show that W7 binds both the C-and N-terminal domains of cTnC in the absence of cTnI (43); however, in the presence of cTnI-(34 -71) and cTnI-(128 -163), W7 associates exclusively in the N-terminal domain of cTnC (52). Similarly, EGCg has been identified by the preliminary study of Tadano et al (30) and by the recent work of Liou et al (28) to reduce the Ca 2ϩ sensitivity of myofibrillar ATPase activity in cardiac myofibrils. Contrary to W7, however, we illustrate by NMR that EGCg binds to the C-domain of cTnC preferentially.…”

“…However, the conclusions reached regarding the molecular targets responsible for the observed EGCG effects diverged. A recent study indicates that EGCG concentrations of 30 M or higher cause a negative inotropic effect by binding to troponin C and reducing myofilament Ca 2ϩ sensitivity (Tadano et al, 2010). In the present study, we identify the cardiac SR Ca 2ϩ release channel, RyR2, as one of the novel and selective targets of EGCG.…”

“…EGCG and resveratrol have been suggested to bind to cTnC and decrease Ca 2ϩ sensitivity (19,26,28). EGCG was recently shown to improve diastolic dysfunction in HCM and RCM mouse models, suggesting that desensitization of the myofilament is therapeutically relevant (10,32,35). In a cTnT model of HCM, EGCG improved relaxation in working hearts and improved Ca 2ϩ transient kinetics in cardiac myocytes (32).…”
