Implications in heart failure. PG - 68-76 AB - We have tested the hypothesis that decreased functioning of creatine kinase (CK) at sites of energy production and utilization may contribute to alterations in energy fluxes and calcium homeostasis in congestive heart failure (CHF). Heart failure was induced by aortic banding in 3-week-old rats. Myofilaments, sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), mitochondrial functions, and CK compartmentation were studied in situ using selective membrane permeabilization of left ventricular fibers with detergents (saponin for mitochondria and SR and Triton X-100 for myofibrils). Seven months after surgery, animals were in CHF. A decrease in total CK activity could be accounted for by a 4-fold decrease in activity and content (Western blots) of mitochondrial CK and a 30% decrease in M isoform of CK (MM-CK) activity. In myofibrils, maximal force, crossbridge kinetics, and alpha-myosin heavy-chain expression decreased, whereas calcium sensitivity of tension development remained unaltered. Myofibrillar CK efficacy was unchanged. Calcium uptake capacities of SR were estimated from the surface of caffeine-induced tension transient (SCa) after loading with different substrates. In CHF, SCa decreased by 23%, and phosphocreatine was 2 times less efficient in enhancing calcium uptake. Oxidative capacities of the failing myocardium measured as oxygen consumption per gram of fiber dry weight decreased by 28%. Moreover, the control of respiration by creatine, ADP, and AMP was severely impaired. Our observations provide evidence that alterations in CK compartmentation may contribute to alterations of energy fluxes and calcium homeostasis in CHF.
