Myocardial infarction (MI) initiates cardiac remodeling, depresses pump function, and predisposes to heart failure. This study was designed to identify early alterations in Ca2+ handling and myofilament proteins, which may contribute to contractile dysfunction and reduced beta-adrenergic responsiveness in postinfarct remodeled myocardium. Protein composition and contractile function of skinned cardiomyocytes were studied in remote, noninfarcted left ventricular (LV) subendocardium from pigs 3 weeks after MI caused by permanent left circumflex artery (LCx) ligation and in sham-operated pigs. LCx ligation induced a 19% increase in LV weight, a 69% increase in LV end-diastolic area, and a decrease in ejection fraction from 54+/-5% to 35+/-4% (all P<0.05), whereas cardiac responsiveness to exercise-induced increases in circulating noradrenaline levels was blunted. Endogenous protein kinase A (PKA) was significantly reduced in remote myocardium of MI animals, and a negative correlation (R=0.62; P<0.05) was found between cAMP levels and LV weight-to-body weight ratio. Furthermore, SERCA2a expression was 23% lower after MI compared with sham. Maximal isometric force generated by isolated skinned myocytes was significantly lower after MI than in sham (15.4+/-1.5 versus 19.2+/-0.9 kN/m2; P<0.05), which might be attributable to a small degree of troponin I (TnI) degradation observed in remodeled postinfarct myocardium. An increase in Ca2+ sensitivity of force (pCa50) was observed after MI compared with sham (DeltapCa50=0.17), which was abolished by incubating myocytes with exogenous PKA, indicating that the increased Ca2+ sensitivity resulted from reduced TnI phosphorylation. In conclusion, remodeling of noninfarcted pig myocardium is associated with decreased SERCA2a and myofilament function, which may contribute to depressed LV function.
