Calmodulin kinase II–mediated sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ leak promotes atrial fibrillation in mice

Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common human cardiac arrhythmia, is associated with abnormal intracellular Ca 2+ handling. Diastolic Ca 2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum via "leaky" ryanodine receptors (RyR2s) is hypothesized to contribute to arrhythmogenesis in AF, but the molecular mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here, we have shown that mice with a genetic gain-of-function defect in Ryr2 (which we termed Ryr2 R176Q/+ mice) did not exhibit spontaneous AF but that rapid atrial pacing unmas… Show more

“…However, other groups have not found PKA-dependent hyperphosphorylation in failing hearts (Xiao et al 2005). In addition, other laboratories suggest that CamKII-dependent phosphorylation of RyR2 is involved in enhanced SR Ca 2þ leak and reduced SR Ca 2þ load in heart failure and may contribute to arrhythmias and contractile dysfunction (Ai et al 2005;Chelu et al 2009;Curran et al 2010;Neef et al 2010). Phosphorylation of other targets of these kinases (troponin I, sarcolemmal Ca 2þ channels, and phospholamban) could also alter the Ca 2þ handling in cardiac and skeletal muscle.…”

“…On the other hand, genetic inhibition of RyR2 phosphorylation at S2814 in RyR2-S2814A knockin mice conferred protection against ventricular arrhythmias in mice with heart failure induced by transverse aortic banding [10] . These studies suggest that inhibition of RyR2 phosphorylation by CaMKII might provide a very specifi c way of preventing ventricular and also atrial arrhythmias [6] . Moreover, pharmacological inhibition of the enzyme CaMKII itself might also provide protection against arrhythmias [6,70,71] .…”
