Mouse myocyte contractility and the changes induced by pressure overload
are not fully understood. We studied contractile reserve in isolated
left ventricular myocytes from mice with ascending aortic stenosis
(AS) during compensatory hypertrophy (4-week AS) and the later
stage of early failure (7-week AS) and from control mice. Myocyte
contraction and Ca$^2+$(i) transients with fluo-3 were measured
simultaneously. At baseline (0.5 Hz, 1.5 mmol/L Ca$^2+$(o),
25 degrees C), the amplitude of myocyte shortening and peak-systolic
Ca$^2+$(i) in 7-week AS were not different from those of
controls, whereas contraction, relaxation, and the decline of Ca$^2+$(i)
transients were slower. In response to the challenge of high Ca$^2+$(o),
fractional cell shortening was severely depressed with reduced peak-systolic
Ca$^2+$(i) in 7-week AS compared with controls. In response
to rapid pacing stimulation, cell shortening and peak-systolic Ca$^2+$(i)
increased in controls, but this response was depressed in 7-week
AS. In contrast, the responses to both challenge with high Ca$^2+$(o)
and rapid pacing in 4-week AS were similar to those of controls.
Although protein levels of Na$^+$-Ca$^2+$ exchanger were
increased in both 4-week and 7-week AS, the ratio of SR Ca$^2+$-ATPase
to phospholamban protein levels was depressed in 7-week AS compared
with controls but not in 4-week AS. This was associated with an
impaired capacity to increase sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca$^2+$
load during high work states in 7-week AS myocytes. In hypertrophied
failing mouse myocytes, depressed contractile reserve is related
to an impaired augmentation of systolic Ca$^2+$(i) and SR Ca$^2+$
load and simulates findings in human failing myocytes.
