As a critical step toward understanding the role of abnormal intracellular Ca(2+) release via the ryanodine receptor (RyR(2)) during the development of hypertension-induced cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, this study examines two questions: 1) At what stage, if ever, in the development of hypertrophy and heart failure is RyR(2) hyperphosphorylated at Ser(2808)? 2) Does the spatial distribution of RyR(2) clusters change in failing hearts? Using a newly developed semiquantitative immunohistochemistry method and Western blotting, we measured phosphorylation of RyR(2) at Ser(2808) in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) at four distinct disease stages. A major finding is that hyperphosphorylation of RyR(2) at Ser(2808) occurred only at late-stage heart failure in SHR, but not in age-matched controls. Furthermore, the spacing between RyR(2) clusters was shortened in failing hearts, as predicted by quantitative model simulation to increase spontaneous Ca(2+) wave generation and arrhythmias.
