A decrease in the myocardial level of the mRNA encoding the Ca2(+)-ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) has been recently reported during experimental cardiac hypertrophy and failure. To determine if such a deficit occurs in human end-stage heart failure, we compared the SR Ca2(+)-ATPase mRNA levels in left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) specimens from 13 patients undergoing cardiac transplantation (6 idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathies; 4 coronary artery diseases with myocardial infarctions; 3 diverse etiologies) with control heart samples using a rat cardiac SR Ca2(+)-ATPase cDNA probe. We observed a marked decrease in the mRNA for the Ca2(+)-ATPase relative to both the 18S ribosomal RNA and the myosin heavy chain mRNA in LV specimens of patients with heart failure compared to controls (-48%, P less than 0.01 and -47%, P less than 0.05, respectively). The LV ratio of Ca2(+)-ATPase mRNA to 18S RNA positively correlated with cardiac index (P less than 0.02). The RV ratio correlated negatively with systolic, diastolic and mean pulmonary arterial pressures (P less than 0.02, P less than 0.02, and P less than 0.01, respectively). We suggest that a decrease of the SR Ca2(+)-ATPase mRNA in the myocardium plays an important role in alterations of Ca2+ movements and myocardial relaxation reported during human end-stage heart failure.
