ABSTRACT
Cardiac mechanical afterload induces an intrinsic autoregulatory increase in myocyte Ca2+ dynamics and contractility to enhance contraction (known as the Anrep effect or slow force response). Our prior work has implicated both nitric oxide (NO) produced by NO synthase 1 (NOS1) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) activity as required mediators of this form of mechano-chemo-transduction. To test whether a single S-nitrosylation site on CaMKIIδ (Cys290) mediates enhanced sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ leak and afterload-induced increases in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ uptake and release, we created a novel CRISPR-based CaMKIIδ knock-in (KI) mouse with a Cys to Ala mutation at C290. These CaMKIIδ-C290A-KI mice exhibited normal cardiac morphometry and function, as well as basal myocyte Ca2+ transients (CaTs) and ß-adrenergic responses. However, the NO donor S-nitrosoglutathione caused an acute increased Ca2+ spark frequency in wild-type (WT) myocytes that was absent in the CaMKIIδ-C290A-KI myocytes. Using our cell-in-gel system to exert multiaxial three-dimensional mechanical afterload on myocytes during contraction, we found that WT myocytes exhibited an afterload-induced increase in Ca2+ sparks and Ca2+ transient amplitude and rate of decline. These afterload-induced effects were prevented in both cardiac-specific CaMKIIδ knockout and point mutant CaMKIIδ-C290A-KI myocytes. We conclude that CaMKIIδ activation by S-nitrosylation at the C290 site is essential in mediating the intrinsic afterload-induced enhancement of myocyte SR Ca2+ uptake, release and Ca2+ transient amplitude (the Anrep effect). The data also indicate that NOS1 activation is upstream of S-nitrosylation at C290 of CaMKII, and that this molecular mechano-chemo-transduction pathway is beneficial in allowing the heart to increase contractility to limit the reduction in stroke volume when aortic pressure (afterload) is elevated. KEY POINTS A novel CRISPR-based CaMKIIδ knock-in mouse was created in which kinase activation by S-nitrosylation at Cys290 (C290A) is prevented. How afterload affects Ca2+ signalling was measured in cardiac myocytes that were embedded in a hydrogel that imposes a three-dimensional afterload. This mechanical afterload induced an increase in Ca2+ transient amplitude and decay in wild-type myocytes, but not in cardiac-specific CaMKIIδ knockout or C290A knock-in myocytes. The CaMKIIδ-C290 S-nitrosylation site is essential for the afterload-induced enhancement of Ca2+ transient amplitude and Ca2+ sparks.
