Abstract
In this study, we investigated the roles of ROCK1 in regulating structural and functional features of caveolae located at the cell membrane of cardiomyocytes, adipocytes, and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) as well as related physiopathological effects. Caveolae are small bulb-shaped cell membrane invaginations, and their roles have been associated with disease conditions. One of the unique features of caveolae is that they are physically linked to the actin cytoskeleton that is well known to be regulated by RhoA/ROCKs pathway. In cardiomyocytes, we observed that ROCK1 deficiency is coincident with an increased caveolar density, clusters, and caveolar proteins including caveolin-1 and -3. In the mouse cardiomyopathy model with transgenic overexpressing Gαq in myocardium, we demonstrated the reduced caveolar density at cell membrane and reduced caveolar protein contents. Interestingly, coexisting ROCK1 deficiency in cardiomyocytes can rescue these defects and preserve caveolar compartmentalization of β-adrenergic signaling molecules including β1-adrenergic receptor and type V/VI adenylyl cyclase. In cardiomyocytes and adipocytes, we detected that ROCK1 deficiency increased insulin signaling with increased insulin receptor activation in caveolae. In MEFs, we identified that ROCK1 deficiency increased caveolar and total levels of caveolin-1 and cell membrane repair ability after mechanical or chemical disruptions. Together, these results demonstrate that ROCK1 can regulate caveolae plasticity and multiple functions including compartmentalization of signaling molecules and cell membrane repair following membrane disruption by mechanical force and oxidative damage. These findings provide possible molecular insights into the beneficial effects of ROCK1 deletion/inhibition in cardiomyocytes, adipocytes, and MEFs under certain diseased conditions.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors are the largest and pharmacologically most important receptor family and are involved in the regulation of most cell functions. Most of them reside exclusively at the cell surface, from where they signal via heterotrimeric G proteins to control the production of second messengers such as cAMP and IP3 as well as the activity of several ion channels. However, they may also internalize upon agonist stimulation or constitutively reside in various intracellular locations. Recent evidence indicates that their function differs depending on their precise cellular localization. This is because the signals they produce, notably cAMP and Ca2+, are mostly bound to cell proteins that significantly reduce their mobility, allowing the generation of steep concentration gradients. As a result, signals generated by the receptors remain confined to nanometer-sized domains. We propose that such nanometer-sized domains represent the basic signaling units in a cell and a new type of target for drug development.

Pulmonary Hypertension-Associated Right Ventricular Cardiomyocyte Remodelling Reduces Treprostinil Function. Cells 2023; 12:2764.

Abstract
(1) Pulmonary hypertension (PH)-associated right ventricular (RV) failure is linked to a reduction in pulmonary vasodilators. Treprostinil has shown effectiveness in PAH patients with cardiac decompensation, hinting at potential cardiac benefits. We investigated treprostinil's synergy with isoprenaline in RV and LV cardiomyocytes. We hypothesised that disease-related RV structural changes in cardiomyocytes would reduce contractile responses and cAMP/PKA signalling activity. (2) We induced PH in male Sprague Dawley rats using monocrotaline and isolated their ventricular cardiomyocytes. The effect of in vitro treprostinil and isoprenaline stimulation on contraction was assessed. FRET microscopy was used to study PKA activity associated with treprostinil stimulation in AKAR3-NES FRET-based biosensor-expressing cells. (3) RV cells exhibited maladaptive remodelling with hypertrophy, impaired contractility, and calcium transients compared to control and LV cardiomyocytes. Combining treprostinil and isoprenaline failed to enhance inotropy in PH RV cardiomyocytes. PH RV cardiomyocytes displayed an aberrant contractile behaviour, which the combination treatment could not rectify. Finally, we observed decreased PKA activity in treprostinil-treated PH RV cardiomyocytes. (4) PH-associated RV cardiomyocyte remodelling reduced treprostinil sensitivity, inotropic support, and impaired relaxation. Overall, this study highlights the complexity of RV dysfunction in advanced PH and suggests the need for alternative therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
In the mid-1950s, a groundbreaking discovery revealed the fascinating presence of caveolae, referred to as flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane, sparking renewed excitement in the field of cell biology. Caveolae are small, flask-shaped invaginations in the cell membrane that play crucial roles in diverse cellular processes, including endocytosis, lipid homeostasis, and signal transduction. The structural stability and functionality of these specialized membrane microdomains are attributed to the coordinated activity of scaffolding proteins, including caveolins and cavins. While caveolae and caveolins have been long appreciated for their integral roles in cellular physiology, the accumulating scientific evidence throughout the years reaffirms their association with a broad spectrum of human disorders. This review article aims to offer a thorough account of the historical advancements in caveolae research, spanning from their initial discovery to the recognition of caveolin family proteins and their intricate contributions to cellular functions. Furthermore, it will examine the consequences of a dysfunctional caveolar network in the development of human diseases.

Microtubule-Mediated Regulation of β 2AR Translation and Function in Failing Hearts. Circ Res 2023; 133:944-958.

Abstract
BACKGROUND β1AR (beta-1 adrenergic receptor) and β2AR (beta-2 adrenergic receptor)-mediated cyclic adenosine monophosphate signaling has distinct effects on cardiac function and heart failure progression. However, the mechanism regulating spatial localization and functional compartmentation of cardiac β-ARs remains elusive. Emerging evidence suggests that microtubule-dependent trafficking of mRNP (messenger ribonucleoprotein) and localized protein translation modulates protein compartmentation in cardiomyocytes. We hypothesized that β-AR compartmentation in cardiomyocytes is accomplished by selective trafficking of its mRNAs and localized translation. METHODS The localization pattern of β-AR mRNA was investigated using single molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization and subcellular nanobiopsy in rat cardiomyocytes. The role of microtubule on β-AR mRNA localization was studied using vinblastine, and its effect on receptor localization and function was evaluated with immunofluorescent and high-throughput Förster resonance energy transfer microscopy. An mRNA protein co-detection assay identified plausible β-AR translation sites in cardiomyocytes. The mechanism by which β-AR mRNA is redistributed post-heart failure was elucidated by single molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization, nanobiopsy, and high-throughput Förster resonance energy transfer microscopy on 16 weeks post-myocardial infarction and detubulated cardiomyocytes. RESULTS β1AR and β2AR mRNAs show differential localization in cardiomyocytes, with β1AR found in the perinuclear region and β2AR showing diffuse distribution throughout the cell. Disruption of microtubules induces a shift of β2AR transcripts toward the perinuclear region. The close proximity between β2AR transcripts and translated proteins suggests that the translation process occurs in specialized, precisely defined cellular compartments. Redistribution of β2AR transcripts is microtubule-dependent, as microtubule depolymerization markedly reduces the number of functional receptors on the membrane. In failing hearts, both β1AR and β2AR mRNAs are redistributed toward the cell periphery, similar to what is seen in cardiomyocytes undergoing drug-induced detubulation. This suggests that t-tubule remodeling contributes to β-AR mRNA redistribution and impaired β2AR function in failing hearts. CONCLUSIONS Asymmetrical microtubule-dependent trafficking dictates differential β1AR and β2AR localization in healthy cardiomyocyte microtubules, underlying the distinctive compartmentation of the 2 β-ARs on the plasma membrane. The localization pattern is altered post-myocardial infarction, resulting from transverse tubule remodeling, leading to distorted β2AR-mediated cyclic adenosine monophosphate signaling.

Abstract
We present a novel framework, Opto-SICM, for studies of cellular interactions in live cells with high spatiotemporal resolution. The approach combines scanning ion conductance microscopy, SICM, and cell-type-specific optogenetic interrogation. Light-excitable cardiac fibroblasts (FB) and myofibroblasts (myoFB) were plated together with non-modified cardiomyocytes (CM) and then paced with periodic illumination. Opto-SICM reveals the extent of FB/myoFB-CM cell-cell contacts and the dynamic changes over time not visible by optical microscopy. FB-CM pairs have lower gap junctional expression of connexin-43 and higher contact dynamism compared to myoFB-CM pairs. The responsiveness of CM to pacing via FB/myoFB depends on the dynamics of the contact but not on the area. The non-responding pairs have higher net cell-cell movement at the contact. These findings are relevant to cardiac disease states, where adverse remodeling leads to abnormal electrical excitation of CM. The Opto-SICM framework can be deployed to offer new insights on cellular and subcellular interactions in various cell types, in real-time.

Abstract
Caveolae are tiny invaginations in the sarcolemma that buffer extra membrane and contribute to mechanical regulation of cellular function. While the role of caveolae in membrane mechanosensation has been studied predominantly in non-cardiomyocyte cells, caveolae contribution to cardiac mechanotransduction remains elusive. Here, we studied the role of caveolae in the regulation of Ca2+ signaling in atrial cardiomyocytes. In Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts, atrial pressure/volume overload stretched atrial myocytes and decreased caveolae density. In isolated cells, caveolae were disrupted through hypotonic challenge that induced a temporal (<10 min) augmentation of Ca2+ transients and caused a rise in Ca2+ spark activity. Similar changes in Ca2+ signaling were observed after chemical (methyl-β-cyclodextrin) and genetic ablation of caveolae in cardiac-specific conditional caveolin-3 knock-out mice. Acute disruption of caveolae, both mechanical and chemical, led to the elevation of cAMP level in the cell interior, and cAMP-mediated augmentation of protein kinase A (PKA)-phosphorylated ryanodine receptors (at Ser2030 and Ser2808). Caveolae-mediated stimulatory effects on Ca2+ signaling were abolished via inhibition of cAMP production by adenyl cyclase antagonists MDL12330 and SQ22536, or reduction of PKA activity by H-89. A compartmentalized mathematical model of mouse atrial myocytes linked the observed changes to a microdomain-specific decrease in phosphodiesterase activity, which disrupted cAMP signaling and augmented PKA activity. Our findings add a new dimension to cardiac mechanobiology and highlight caveolae-associated cAMP/PKA-mediated phosphorylation of Ca2+ handling proteins as a novel component of mechano-chemical feedback in atrial myocytes.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the USA and is known to be exacerbated by elevated mechanical stress from hypertension. Caveolae are plasma membrane structures that buffer mechanical stress but have been found to be reduced in pathological conditions associated with chronically stretched myocardium. To explore the physiological implications of the loss of caveolae, we used human engineered cardiac tissue (ECT) constructs, composed of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes and hiPSC-derived cardiac fibroblasts, to develop a long-term cyclic stretch protocol that recapitulates the effects of hypertension on caveolae expression, membrane tension, and the β-adrenergic response. Leveraging this new stretch protocol, we identified neutral sphingomyelinases (nSMase) as mechanoregulated mediators of caveolae loss, ceramide production and the blunted β-adrenergic response in this human cardiac model. Specifically, in our ECT model, nSMase inhibition via GW4869 prevented stretch-induced loss of caveolae-like structures, mitigated nSMase-dependent ceramide production, and maintained the ECT contractile kinetic response to isoprenaline. These findings are correlated with a blood lipidomic analysis in middle-aged and older adults, which revealed an increase of the circulating levels of ceramides in adults with hypertension. Furthermore, we found that conduction slowing from increased pressure loading in mouse left ventricle was abolished in the context of nSMase inhibition. Collectively, these findings identify nSMase as a potent drug target for mitigating stretch-induced effects on cardiac function. KEY POINTS: We have developed a new stretch protocol for human engineered cardiac tissue that recapitulates changes in plasma membrane morphology observed in animal models of pressure/volume overload. Stretch of engineered cardiac tissue induces activation of neutral sphingomyelinase (nSMase), generation of ceramide, and disassembly of caveolae. Activation of nSMase blunts cardiac β-adrenergic contractile kinetics and mediates stretch-induced slowing of conduction and upstroke velocity. Circulating ceramides are increased in adults with hypertension, highlighting the clinical relevance of stretch-induced nSMase activity.

Sanchez-Alonso JL, Fedele L, Copier JS, Lucarelli C, Mansfield C, Judina A, Houser SR, Brand T, Gorelik J. Functional LTCC-β 2AR Complex Needs Caveolin-3 and Is Disrupted in Heart Failure. Circ Res 2023; 133:120-137. [PMID: 37313722 PMCID: PMC10321517 DOI: 10.1161/circresaha.123.322508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Beta-2 adrenergic receptors (β2ARs) but not beta-2 adrenergic receptors (β1ARs) form a functional complex with L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs) on the cardiomyocyte membrane. However, how microdomain localization in the plasma membrane affects the function of these complexes is unknown. We aim to study the coupling between LTCC and β adrenergic receptors in different cardiomyocyte microdomains, the distinct involvement of PKA and CAMKII (Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II) and explore how this functional complex is disrupted in heart failure. METHODS Global signaling between LTCCs and β adrenergic receptors was assessed with whole-cell current recordings and western blot analysis. Super-resolution scanning patch-clamp was used to explore the local coupling between single LTCCs and β1AR or β2AR in different membrane microdomains in control and failing cardiomyocytes. RESULTS LTCC open probability (Po) showed an increase from 0.054±0.003 to 0.092±0.008 when β2AR was locally stimulated in the proximity of the channel (<350 nm) in the transverse tubule microdomain. In failing cardiomyocytes, from both rodents and humans, this transverse tubule coupling between LTCC and β2AR was lost. Interestingly, local stimulation of β1AR did not elicit any change in the Po of LTCCs, indicating a lack of proximal functional interaction between the two, but we confirmed a general activation of LTCC via β1AR. By using blockers of PKA and CaMKII and a Caveolin-3-knockout mouse model, we conclude that the β2AR-LTCC regulation requires the presence of caveolin-3 and the activation of the CaMKII pathway. By contrast, at a cellular "global" level PKA plays a major role downstream β1AR and results in an increase in LTCC current. CONCLUSIONS Regulation of the LTCC activity by proximity coupling mechanisms occurs only via β2AR, but not β1AR. This may explain how β2ARs tune the response of LTCCs to adrenergic stimulation in healthy conditions. This coupling is lost in heart failure; restoring it could improve the adrenergic response of failing cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
RATIONALE Flask-shaped invaginations of the cardiomyocyte sarcolemma called caveolae require the structural protein caveolin-3 (Cav-3) and host a variety of ion channels, transporters, and signaling molecules. Reduced Cav-3 expression has been reported in models of heart failure, and variants in CAV3 have been associated with the inherited long-QT arrhythmia syndrome. Yet, it remains unclear whether alterations in Cav-3 levels alone are sufficient to drive aberrant repolarization and increased arrhythmia risk. OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of cardiac-specific Cav-3 ablation on the electrophysiological properties of the adult mouse heart. METHODS AND RESULTS Cardiac-specific, inducible Cav3 homozygous knockout (Cav-3KO) mice demonstrated a marked reduction in Cav-3 expression by Western blot and loss of caveolae by electron microscopy. However, there was no change in macroscopic cardiac structure or contractile function. The QTc interval was increased in Cav-3KO mice, and there was an increased propensity for ventricular arrhythmias. Ventricular myocytes isolated from Cav-3KO mice exhibited a prolonged action potential duration (APD) that was due to reductions in outward potassium currents (Ito, Iss) and changes in inward currents including slowed inactivation of ICa,L and increased INa,L. Mathematical modeling demonstrated that the changes in the studied ionic currents were adequate to explain the prolongation of the mouse ventricular action potential. Results from human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes showed that shRNA knockdown of Cav-3 similarly prolonged APD. CONCLUSION We demonstrate that Cav-3 and caveolae regulate cardiac repolarization and arrhythmia risk via the integrated modulation of multiple ionic currents.

Abstract
Mouse models of heart failure are extensively used to research human cardiovascular diseases. In particular, one of the most common is the mouse model of heart failure resulting from transverse aortic constriction (TAC). Despite this, there are no comprehensive compartmentalized mathematical models that describe the complex behavior of the action potential, [Ca2+]i transients, and their regulation by β1- and β2-adrenergic signaling systems in failing mouse myocytes. In this paper, we develop a novel compartmentalized mathematical model of failing mouse ventricular myocytes after TAC procedure. The model describes well the cell geometry, action potentials, [Ca2+]i transients, and β1- and β2-adrenergic signaling in the failing cells. Simulation results obtained with the failing cell model are compared with those from the normal ventricular myocytes. Exploration of the model reveals the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ load mechanisms in failing ventricular myocytes. We also show a larger susceptibility of the failing myocytes to early and delayed afterdepolarizations and to a proarrhythmic behavior of Ca2+ dynamics upon stimulation with isoproterenol. The mechanisms of the proarrhythmic behavior suppression are investigated and sensitivity analysis is performed. The developed model can explain the existing experimental data on failing mouse ventricular myocytes and make experimentally testable predictions of a failing myocyte's behavior.

Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has the poorest prognosis compared to other breast cancer subtypes, due to a historical lack of targeted therapies and high rates of relapse. Greater insight into the components of signalling pathways in TNBC tumour cells has led to the clinical evaluation, and in some cases approval, of targeted therapies. In the last decade, G protein-coupled receptors, such as the β2-adrenoceptor, have emerged as potential new therapeutic targets. Here, we describe how the β2-adrenoceptor accelerates TNBC progression in response to stress, and the unique signalling pathway activated by the β2-adrenoceptor to drive the invasion of an aggressive TNBC tumour cell. We highlight evidence that supports an altered organisation of GPCRs in tumour cells, and suggests that activation of the same GPCR in a different cellular location can control unique cell responses. Finally, we speculate how the relocation of GPCRs to the "wrong" place in tumour cells presents opportunities to develop targeted anti-cancer GPCR drugs with greater efficacy and minimal adverse effects.

Abstract
Multiple pathophysiological pathways are activated during the process of myocardial injury. Various cardioprotective strategies protect the myocardium from ischemia, infarction, and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury through different targets, yet the clinical translation remains limited. Caveolae and its structure protein, caveolins, have been suggested as a bridge to transmit damage-preventing signals and mediate the protection of ultrastructure in cardiomyocytes under pathological conditions. In this review, we first briefly introduce caveolae and caveolins. Then we review the cardioprotective strategies mediated by caveolins through various pathophysiological pathways. Finally, some possible research directions are proposed to provide future experiments and clinical translation perspectives targeting caveolin based on the investigative evidence.

Abstract
Heart rate is accelerated to match physiological demands through the action of noradrenaline on the cardiac pacemaker. Noradrenaline is released from sympathetic terminals and activates β1-and β2-adrenergic receptors (ΑRs) located at the plasma membrane of pacemaker cells. L-type calcium channels are one of the main downstream targets potentiated by the activation of β-ARs. For this signaling to occur, L-type calcium channels need to be located in close proximity to β-ARs inside caveolae. Although it is known that aging causes a slowdown of the pacemaker rate and a reduction in the response of pacemaker cells to noradrenaline, there is a lack of in-depth mechanistic insights into these age-associated changes. Here, we show that aging affects the formation and function of adrenergic signaling microdomains inside caveolae. By evaluating the β1 and β2 components of the adrenergic regulation of the L-type calcium current, we show that aging does not alter the regulation mediated by β1-ARs but drastically impairs that mediated by β2-ARs. We studied the integrity of the signaling microdomains formed between L-type calcium channels and β-ARs by combining high-resolution microscopy and proximity ligation assays. We show that consistent with the electrophysiological data, aging decreases the physical association between β2-ARs and L-type calcium channels. Interestingly, this reduction is associated with a decrease in the association of L-type calcium channels with the scaffolding protein AKAP150. Old pacemaker cells also have a reduction in caveolae density and in the association of L-type calcium channels with caveolin-3. Together the age-dependent alterations in caveolar formation and the nano-organization of β2-ARs and L-type calcium channels result in a reduced sensitivity of the channels to β2 adrenergic modulation. Our results highlight the importance of these signaling microdomains in maintaining the chronotropic modulation of the heart and also pinpoint the direct impact that aging has on their function.

Abstract
Cardiac contractility is regulated by several neural, hormonal, paracrine, and autocrine factors. Amongst these, signaling through β-adrenergic and serotonin receptors generates the second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP), whereas activation of natriuretic peptide receptors and soluble guanylyl cyclases generates cyclic GMP (cGMP). Both cyclic nucleotides regulate cardiac contractility through several mechanisms. Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are enzymes that degrade cAMP and cGMP and therefore determine the dynamics of their downstream effects. In addition, the intracellular localization of the different PDEs may contribute to regulation of compartmented signaling of cAMP and cGMP. In this review, we will focus on the role of PDEs in regulating contractility and evaluate changes in heart failure.

Abstract
Scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) has emerged as a versatile tool for studies of interfaces in biology and materials science with notable utility in biophysical and electrochemical measurements. The heart of the SICM is a nanometer-scale electrolyte filled glass pipette that serves as a scanning probe. In the initial conception, manipulations of ion currents through the tip of the pipette and appropriate positioning hardware provided a route to recording micro- and nanoscopic mapping of the topography of surfaces. Subsequent advances in instrumentation, probe design, and methods significantly increased opportunities for SICM beyond recording topography. Hybridization of SICM with coincident characterization techniques such as optical microscopy and faradaic electrodes have brought SICM to the forefront as a tool for nanoscale chemical measurement for a wide range of applications. Modern approaches to SICM realize an important tool in analytical, bioanalytical, biophysical, and materials measurements, where significant opportunities remain for further exploration. In this review, we chronicle the development of SICM from the perspective of both the development of instrumentation and methods and the breadth of measurements performed.

Abstract
The sympathetic nervous system is activated in the setting of heart failure (HF) to compensate for hemodynamic instability. However, acute sympathetic surge or sustained high neuronal firing rates activates β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) signaling contributing to myocardial remodeling, dysfunction and electrical instability. Thus, sympatho-βAR activation is regarded as a hallmark of HF and forms pathophysiological basis for β-blocking therapy. Building upon earlier research findings, studies conducted in the recent decades have significantly advanced our understanding on the sympatho-adrenergic mechanism in HF, which forms the focus of this article. This review notes recent research progress regarding the roles of cardiac β2AR or α1AR in the failing heart, significance of β1AR-autoantibodies, and βAR signaling through G-protein independent signaling pathways. Sympatho-βAR regulation of immune cells or fibroblasts is specifically discussed. On the neuronal aspects, knowledge is assembled on the remodeling of sympathetic nerves of the failing heart, regulation by presynaptic α2AR of NE release, and findings on device-based neuromodulation of the sympathetic nervous system. The review ends with highlighting areas where significant knowledge gaps exist but hold promise for new breakthroughs.

Abstract
Beta-adrenoceptors (βAR) are often viewed as archetypal G-protein coupled receptors. Over the past fifteen years, investigations in cardiovascular biology have provided remarkable insights into this receptor family. These studies have shifted pharmacological dogma, from one which centralized the receptor to a new focus on structural micro-domains such as caveolae and t-tubules. Important studies have examined, separately, the structural compartmentation of ion channels and βAR. Despite links being assumed, relatively few studies have specifically examined the direct link between structural remodeling and electrical remodeling with a focus on βAR. In this review, we will examine the nature of receptor and ion channel dysfunction on a substrate of cardiomyocyte microdomain remodeling, as well as the likely ramifications for cardiac electrophysiology. We will then discuss the advances in methodologies in this area with a specific focus on super-resolution microscopy, fluorescent imaging, and new approaches involving microdomain specific, polymer-based agonists. The advent of powerful computational modelling approaches has allowed the science to shift from purely empirical work, and may allow future investigations based on prediction. Issues such as the cross-reactivity of receptors and cellular heterogeneity will also be discussed. Finally, we will speculate as to the potential developments within this field over the next ten years.

Abstract
The field of cAMP signaling is witnessing exciting developments with the recognition that cAMP is compartmentalized and that spatial regulation of cAMP is critical for faithful signal coding. This realization has changed our understanding of cAMP signaling from a model in which cAMP connects a receptor at the plasma membrane to an intracellular effector in a linear pathway to a model in which cAMP signals propagate within a complex network of alternative branches and the specific functional outcome strictly depends on local regulation of cAMP levels and on selective activation of a limited number of branches within the network. In this review, we cover some of the early studies and summarize more recent evidence supporting the model of compartmentalized cAMP signaling, and we discuss how this knowledge is starting to provide original mechanistic insight into cell physiology and a novel framework for the identification of disease mechanisms that potentially opens new avenues for therapeutic interventions. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: cAMP mediates the intracellular response to multiple hormones and neurotransmitters. Signal fidelity and accurate coordination of a plethora of different cellular functions is achieved via organization of multiprotein signalosomes and cAMP compartmentalization in subcellular nanodomains. Defining the organization and regulation of subcellular cAMP nanocompartments is necessary if we want to understand the complex functional ramifications of pharmacological treatments that target G protein-coupled receptors and for generating a blueprint that can be used to develop precision medicine interventions.

Junctophilin-2 tethers T-tubules and recruits functional L-type calcium channels to lipid rafts in adult cardiomyocytes. Cardiovasc Res 2021; 117:149-161. [PMID: 32053184 PMCID: PMC7797210 DOI: 10.1093/cvr/cvaa033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2019] [Revised: 01/08/2020] [Accepted: 02/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
AIM In cardiomyocytes, transverse tubules (T-tubules) associate with the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), forming junctional membrane complexes (JMCs) where L-type calcium channels (LTCCs) are juxtaposed to Ryanodine receptors (RyR). Junctophilin-2 (JPH2) supports the assembly of JMCs by tethering T-tubules to the SR membrane. T-tubule remodelling in cardiac diseases is associated with downregulation of JPH2 expression suggesting that JPH2 plays a crucial role in T-tubule stability. Furthermore, increasing evidence indicate that JPH2 might additionally act as a modulator of calcium signalling by directly regulating RyR and LTCCs. This study aimed at determining whether JPH2 overexpression restores normal T-tubule structure and LTCC function in cultured cardiomyocytes. METHODS AND RESULTS Rat ventricular myocytes kept in culture for 4 days showed extensive T-tubule remodelling with impaired JPH2 localization and relocation of the scaffolding protein Caveolin3 (Cav3) from the T-tubules to the outer membrane. Overexpression of JPH2 restored T-tubule structure and Cav3 relocation. Depletion of membrane cholesterol by chronic treatment with methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) countered the stabilizing effect of JPH2 overexpression on T-tubules and Cav3. Super-resolution scanning patch-clamp showed that JPH2 overexpression greatly increased the number of functional LTCCs at the plasma membrane. Treatment with MβCD reduced LTCC open probability and activity. Proximity ligation assays showed that MβCD did not affect JPH2 interaction with RyR and the pore-forming LTCC subunit Cav1.2, but strongly impaired JPH2 association with Cav3 and the accessory LTCC subunit Cavβ2. CONCLUSIONS JPH2 promotes T-tubule structural stability and recruits functional LTCCs to the membrane, most likely by directly binding to the channel. Cholesterol is involved in the binding of JPH2 to T-tubules as well as in the modulation of LTCC activity. We propose a model where cholesterol and Cav3 support the assembly of lipid rafts which provide an anchor for JPH2 to form JMCs and a platform for signalling complexes to regulate LTCC activity.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate many cellular and physiological processes, responding to a diverse range of extracellular stimuli including hormones, neurotransmitters, odorants, and light. Decades of biochemical and pharmacological studies have provided fundamental insights into the mechanisms of GPCR signaling. Thanks to recent advances in structural biology, we now possess an atomistic understanding of receptor activation and G protein coupling. However, how GPCRs and G proteins interact in living cells to confer signaling efficiency and specificity remains insufficiently understood. The development of advanced optical methods, including single-molecule microscopy, has provided the means to study receptors and G proteins in living cells with unprecedented spatio-temporal resolution. The results of these studies reveal an unexpected level of complexity, whereby GPCRs undergo transient interactions among themselves as well as with G proteins and structural elements of the plasma membrane to form short-lived signaling nanodomains that likely confer both rapidity and specificity to GPCR signaling. These findings may provide new strategies to pharmaceutically modulate GPCR function, which might eventually pave the way to innovative drugs for common diseases such as diabetes or heart failure.

Abstract
β-adrenergic receptor antagonists (β-blockers) are extensively used to improve cardiac performance in heart failure (HF), but the electrical improvements with these clinical treatments are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to analyze the electrophysiological effects of β-adrenergic system remodeling in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and the underlying mechanisms. We used a combined mathematical model that integrated β-adrenergic signaling with electrophysiology and calcium cycling in human ventricular myocytes. HF remodeling, both in the electrophysiological and signaling systems, was introduced to quantitatively analyze changes in electrophysiological properties due to the stimulation of β-adrenergic receptors in failing myocytes. We found that the inotropic effect of β-adrenergic stimulation was reduced in HF due to the altered Ca2+ dynamics resulting from the combination of structural, electrophysiological and signaling remodeling. Isolated cells showed proarrhythmic risk after sympathetic stimulation because early afterdepolarizations appeared, and the vulnerability was greater in failing myocytes. When analyzing coupled cells, β-adrenergic stimulation reduced transmural repolarization gradients between endocardium and epicardium in normal tissue, but was less effective at reducing these gradients after HF remodeling. The comparison of the selective activation of β-adrenergic isoforms revealed that the response to β2-adrenergic receptors stimulation was blunted in HF while β1-adrenergic receptors downstream effectors regulated most of the changes observed after sympathetic stimulation. In conclusion, this study was able to reproduce an altered β-adrenergic activity on failing myocytes and to explain the mechanisms involved. The derived predictions could help in the treatment of HF and guide in the design of future experiments.

Abstract
Caveolae are the cholesterol-rich small invaginations of the plasma membrane present in many cell types including adipocytes, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, smooth muscles, skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles. They serve as specialized platforms for many signaling molecules and regulate important cellular processes like energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, mitochondria homeostasis, and mechano-transduction. Caveolae can be internalized together with associated cargo. The caveolae-dependent endocytic pathway plays a role in the withdrawal of many plasma membrane components that can be sent for degradation or recycled back to the cell surface. Caveolae are formed by oligomerization of caveolin proteins. Caveolin-3 is a muscle-specific isoform, whose malfunction is associated with several diseases including diabetes, cancer, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular diseases. Mutations in Caveolin-3 are known to cause muscular dystrophies that are collectively called caveolinopathies. Altered expression of Caveolin-3 is also observed in Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy, which is likely a part of the pathological process leading to muscle weakness. This review summarizes the major functions of Caveolin-3 in skeletal muscles and discusses its involvement in the pathology of muscular dystrophies.

Abstract
AIMS β-adrenergic receptors (βARs) play pivotal roles in regulating cardiac excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling. Global signalling of β1ARs up-regulates both the influx of Ca2+ through sarcolemmal L-type Ca2+ channels (LCCs) and the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) through the ryanodine receptors (RyRs). However, we recently found that β2AR stimulation meditates 'offside compartmentalization', confining β1AR signalling into subsarcolemmal nanodomains without reaching SR proteins. In the present study, we aim to investigate the new question, whether and how compartmentalized β1AR signalling regulates cardiac E-C coupling. METHODS AND RESULTS By combining confocal Ca2+ imaging and patch-clamp techniques, we investigated the effects of compartmentalized βAR signalling on E-C coupling at both cellular and molecular levels. We found that simultaneous activation of β2 and β1ARs, in contrast to global signalling of β1ARs, modulated neither the amplitude and spatiotemporal properties of Ca2+ sparks nor the kinetics of the RyR response to LCC Ca2+ sparklets. Nevertheless, by up-regulating LCC current, compartmentalized β1AR signalling synchronized RyR Ca2+ release and increased the functional reserve (stability margin) of E-C coupling. In circumstances of briefer excitation durations or lower RyR responsivity, compartmentalized βAR signalling, by increasing the intensity of Ca2+ triggers, helped stabilize the performance of E-C coupling and enhanced the Ca2+ transient amplitude in failing heart cells. CONCLUSION Given that compartmentalized βAR signalling can be induced by stress-associated levels of catecholamines, our results revealed an important, yet unappreciated, heart regulation mechanism that is autoadaptive to varied stress conditions.

Abstract
Cardiac excitation-contraction (EC) coupling, which links plasma membrane depolarization to activation of cardiomyocyte contraction, occurs at dyads, the nanoscopic microdomains formed by apposition of transverse (T)-tubules and junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (jSR). In a dyadic junction, EC coupling occurs through Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release. Membrane depolarization opens voltage-gated L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs) in the T-tubule. The resulting influx of extracellular Ca2+ into the dyadic cleft opens Ca2+ release channels known as ryanodine receptors (RYRs) in the jSR, leading to the rapid increase in cytosolic Ca2+ that triggers sarcomere contraction. The efficacy of LTCC-RYR communication greatly affects a myriad of downstream intracellular signaling events, and it is controlled by many factors, including T-tubule and jSR structure, spatial distribution of ion channels, and regulatory proteins that closely regulate the activities of channels within dyads. Alterations in dyad architecture and/or channel activity are seen in many types of heart disease. This review will focus on the current knowledge regarding cardiac dyad structure and function, their alterations in heart failure, and new approaches to study the composition and function of dyads.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) might increase the incidence and mortality of cardiac failure after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients. We attempted to investigate whether Caveolin-3 showed beneficial effects in DM patient post-MI injury through the cAMP/PKA and BDNF/TrkB signaling pathways. The activity of ADRB2 and cAMP/PKA signaling were impaired in nondiabetic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) group compared with the sham and DM groups and were more impaired in diabetic I/R group than in the I/R group. In H9C2 cells, high-glucose (HG) stimulation further enhanced H/R injury by promoting cell apoptosis, inhibiting cell viability, and suppressing TrkB and Akt signaling; in contrast, the ADRB2 agonist isoprenaline (ISO) significantly attenuated the above-described effects of HG stimulation. Caveolin-3 overexpression promoted the localization of ADRB2 on the membrane of the HG-stimulated H9C2 cells, subsequently inhibiting apoptosis and promoting cell viability. Under HG stimulation, Caveolin-3 overexpression enhanced the activity of the cAMP/PKA and BDNF/TrkB signaling pathways, whereas ADRB2 silencing reversed the effects of Caveolin-3 overexpression. In conclusion, ADRB2 agonist promoted the activity of the BDNF/TrkB and cAMP/PKA signaling pathways, mitigating the HG-aggravated H/R injuries in H9C2 cells. Caveolin-3 exerts a protective effect on diabetic hearts against I/R damage through the β2AR, cAMP/PKA, and BDNF/TrkB signaling pathways.

Abstract
AIMS Increase of cardiac cAMP bioavailability and PKA activity through adenylyl-cyclase 8 (AC8) overexpression enhances contractile function in young transgenic mice (AC8TG). Ageing is associated with decline of cardiac contraction partly by the desensitization of β-adrenergic/cAMP signalling. Our objective was to evaluate cardiac cAMP signalling as age increases between 2 months and 12 months and to explore whether increasing the bioavailability of cAMP by overexpression of AC8 could prevent cardiac dysfunction related to age. METHODS AND RESULTS Cardiac cAMP pathway and contractile function were evaluated in AC8TG and their non-transgenic littermates (NTG) at 2- and 12 months old. AC8TG demonstrated increased AC8, PDE1, 3B and 4D expression at both ages, resulting in increased phosphodiesterase and PKA activity, and increased phosphorylation of several PKA targets including sarco(endo)plasmic-reticulum-calcium-ATPase (SERCA2a) cofactor phospholamban (PLN) and GSK3α/β a main regulator of hypertrophic growth and ageing. Confocal immunofluorescence revealed that the major phospho-PKA substrates were co-localized with Z-line in 2-month-old NTG but with Z-line interspace in AC8TG, confirming the increase of PKA activity in the compartment of PLN/SERCA2a. In both 12-month-old NTG and AC8TG, PLN and GSK3α/β phosphorylation was increased together with main localization of phospho-PKA substrates in Z-line interspaces. Haemodynamics demonstrated an increased contractile function in 2- and 12-month-old AC8TG, but not in NTG. In contrast, echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) performed in conscious mice unmasked myocardial dysfunction with a decrease of systolic strain rate in both old AC8TG and NTG. In AC8TG TDI showed a reduced strain rate even in 2-month-old animals. Development of age-related cardiac dysfunction was accelerated in AC8TG, leading to heart failure (HF) and premature death. Histological analysis confirmed early cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis in AC8TG when compared with NTG. CONCLUSION Our data demonstrated an early and accelerated cardiac remodelling in AC8TG mice, leading to the development of HF and reduced lifespan. Age-related reorganization of cAMP/PKA signalling can accelerate cardiac ageing, partly through GSK3α/β phosphorylation.

Abstract
Activation of the sympatho-β-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs) system is a hallmark of heart failure, leading to fibrosis and arrhythmias. Connexin 43 (Cx43) is the most abundant gap junctional protein in the myocardium. Current knowledge is limited regarding Cx43 remodelling in diverse cell types in the diseased myocardium and the underlying mechanism. We studied cell type-dependent changes in Cx43 remodelling due to β-AR overactivation and molecular mechanisms involved. Mouse models of isoproterenol stimulation or transgenic cardiomyocyte overexpression of β2 -AR were used, which exhibited cardiac fibrosis and up-regulated total Cx43 abundance. In both models, whereas Cx43 expression in cardiomyocytes was reduced and more laterally distributed, fibroblasts exhibited elevated Cx43 expression and enhanced gap junction communication. Mechanistically, activation of β2 -AR in fibroblasts in vitro elevated Cx43 expression, which was abolished by the β2 -antagonist ICI-118551 or protein kinase A inhibitor H-89, but simulated by the adenylyl cyclase activator forskolin. Our in vitro and in vivo data showed that β-AR activation-induced production of IL-18 sequentially stimulated Cx43 expression in fibroblasts in a paracrine fashion. In summary, our findings demonstrate a pivotal role of β-AR in mediating distinct and cell type-dependent changes in the expression and distribution of Cx43, leading to pathological gap junction remodelling in the myocardium.

Abstract
Tissue homeostasis requires regulation of cell-cell communication, which relies on signaling molecules and cell contacts. In skin epidermis, keratinocytes secrete factors transduced by melanocytes into signaling cues promoting their pigmentation and dendrite outgrowth, while melanocytes transfer melanin pigments to keratinocytes to convey skin photoprotection. How epidermal cells integrate these functions remains poorly characterized. Here, we show that caveolae are asymmetrically distributed in melanocytes and particularly abundant at the melanocyte-keratinocyte interface in epidermis. Caveolae in melanocytes are modulated by ultraviolet radiations and keratinocytes-released factors, like miRNAs. Preventing caveolae formation in melanocytes increases melanin pigment synthesis through upregulation of cAMP signaling and decreases cell protrusions, cell-cell contacts, pigment transfer and epidermis pigmentation. Altogether, we identify that caveolae serve as molecular hubs that couple signaling outputs from keratinocytes to mechanical plasticity of pigment cells. The coordination of intercellular communication and contacts by caveolae is thus crucial to skin pigmentation and tissue homeostasis.

Abstract
Multiple intra-cellular signalling pathways rely on calcium and 3′–5′ cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) to act as secondary messengers. This is especially true in cardiomyocytes which act as the force-producing units of the cardiac muscle and are required to react rapidly to environmental stimuli. The specificity of functional responses within cardiomyocytes and other cell types is produced by the organellar compartmentation of both calcium and cAMP. In this review, we assess the role of molecular localisation and relative contribution of active and passive processes in producing compartmentation. Active processes comprise the creation and destruction of signals, whereas passive processes comprise the release or sequestration of signals. Cardiomyocytes display a highly articulated membrane structure which displays significant cell-to-cell variability. Special attention is paid to the way in which cell membrane caveolae and the transverse-axial tubule system allow molecular localisation. We explore the effects of cell maturation, pathology and regional differences in the organisation of these processes. The subject of signal compartmentation has had a significant amount of attention within the cardiovascular field and has undergone a revolution over the past two decades. Advances in the area have been driven by molecular imaging using fluorescent dyes and genetically encoded constructs based upon fluorescent proteins. We also explore the use of scanning probe microscopy in the area. These techniques allow the analysis of molecular compartmentation within specific organellar compartments which gives researchers an entirely new perspective.

Abstract
Caveolin, a structural protein of caveolae, play roles in the regulation of endothelial function, cellular lipid homeostasis, and cardiac function by affecting the activity and biogenesis of nitric oxide, and by modulating signal transduction pathways that mediate inflammatory responses and oxidative stress. In this review, we present the role of caveolin in cardiac and vascular diseases and the relevant signaling pathways involved. Furthermore, we discuss a novel therapeutic perspective comprising crosstalk between caveolin and autophagy.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is the end-stage syndrome for most cardiac diseases, and the 5-year morbidity and mortality of HF remain high. Malignant arrhythmia is the main cause of sudden death in the progression of HF. Recently, bridging integrator 1 (BIN1) was discovered as a regulator of transverse tubule function and calcium signalling in cardiomyocytes. BIN1 downregulation is linked to abnormal cardiac contraction, and it increases the possibility of malignant arrhythmias preceding HF. Because of the detectability of cardiac BIN1 in peripheral blood, BIN1 may serve as a predictor of HF and may be useful in therapy development. However, the mechanism of BIN1 downregulation in HF and how BIN1 regulates normal cardiac function under physiological conditions remain unclear. In this review, recent progress in the biological studies of BIN1-related cardiomyocytes and the effect of cardiac dysfunction and malignant arrhythmia will be discussed.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are cell surface receptors that for many years have been considered to function exclusively at the plasma membrane, where they bind to extracellular ligands and activate G protein signaling cascades. According to the conventional model, these signaling events are rapidly terminated by β-arrestin (β-arr) recruitment to the activated GPCR resulting in signal desensitization and receptor internalization. However, during the past decade, emerging evidence suggest that many GPCRs can continue to activate G proteins from intracellular compartments after they have been internalized. G protein signaling from intracellular compartments is in general more sustained compared to G protein signaling at the plasma membrane. Notably, the particular location closer to the nucleus is beneficial for selective cellular functions such as regulation of gene transcription. Here, we review key GPCRs that undergo compartmentalized G protein signaling and discuss molecular considerations and requirements for this signaling to occur. Our main focus will be on receptors involved in the regulation of important physiological and pathological cardiovascular functions. We also discuss how sustained G protein activation from intracellular compartments may be involved in cellular functions that are distinct from functions regulated by plasma membrane G protein signaling, and the corresponding significance in cardiovascular physiology.

Abstract
G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate the effects of numerous hormones and neurotransmitters and are major pharmacological targets. Classical studies with crude cell lysates or membrane preparations have identified the main biochemical steps involved in GPCR signaling. Moreover, recent studies on purified proteins have provided astounding details at the atomic level of the 3-D structures of receptors in multiple conformations, including in complex with G proteins and β-arrestins. However, several fundamental questions remain regarding the highly specific effects and rapid nature of GPCR signaling. Recent developments in single-molecule microscopy are providing important contributions to answering these questions. Overall, single-molecule studies have revealed unexpected levels of complexity, with receptors existing in different conformations and dynamically interacting among themselves, their signaling partners, and structural elements of the plasma membrane to produce highly localized signals in space and time. These findings may provide a new basis to develop innovative strategies to modulate GPCR function for pharmacological purposes.

Abstract
Aims β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs) produce different acute contractile effects on the heart partly because they impact on different cytosolic pools of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). They also exert different effects on gene expression but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The aim of this study was to understand the mechanisms by which β1- and β2-ARs regulate nuclear PKA activity in cardiomyocytes. Methods and results We used cytoplasmic and nuclear targeted biosensors to examine cAMP signals and PKA activity in adult rat ventricular myocytes upon selective β1- or β2-ARs stimulation. Both β1- and β2-AR stimulation increased cAMP and activated PKA in the cytoplasm. Although the two receptors also increased cAMP in the nucleus, only β1-ARs increased nuclear PKA activity and up-regulated the PKA target gene and pro-apoptotic factor, inducible cAMP early repressor (ICER). Inhibition of phosphodiesterase (PDE)4, but not Gi, PDE3, GRK2 nor caveolae disruption disclosed nuclear PKA activation and ICER induction by β2-ARs. Both nuclear and cytoplasmic PKI prevented nuclear PKA activation and ICER induction by β1-ARs, indicating that PKA activation outside the nucleus is required for subsequent nuclear PKA activation and ICER mRNA expression. Cytoplasmic PKI also blocked ICER induction by β2-AR stimulation (with concomitant PDE4 inhibition). However, in this case nuclear PKI decreased ICER up-regulation by only 30%, indicating that other mechanisms are involved. Down-regulation of mAKAPβ partially inhibited nuclear PKA activation upon β1-AR stimulation, and drastically decreased nuclear PKA activation upon β2-AR stimulation in the presence of PDE4 inhibition. Conclusions β1- and β2-ARs differentially regulate nuclear PKA activity and ICER expression in cardiomyocytes. PDE4 insulates a mAKAPβ-targeted PKA pool at the nuclear envelope that prevents nuclear PKA activation upon β2-AR stimulation.

Abstract
Cardiomyocytes from the apex but not the base of the heart increase their contractility in response to β2-adrenoceptor (β2AR) stimulation, which may underlie the development of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. However, both cell types produce comparable cytosolic amounts of the second messenger cAMP. We investigated this discrepancy using nanoscale imaging techniques and found that, structurally, basal cardiomyocytes have more organized membranes (higher T-tubular and caveolar densities). Local membrane microdomain responses measured in isolated basal cardiomyocytes or in whole hearts revealed significantly smaller and more short-lived β2AR/cAMP signals. Inhibition of PDE4, caveolar disruption by removing cholesterol or genetic deletion of Cav3 eliminated differences in local cAMP production and equilibrated the contractile response to β2AR. We conclude that basal cells possess tighter control of cAMP because of a higher degree of signaling microdomain organization. This provides varying levels of nanostructural control for cAMP-mediated functional effects that orchestrate macroscopic, regional physiological differences within the heart. Cardiomyocyte membrane organization varies in degree between regions of the heart Differences in structural organization affect adrenergic signaling via β2AR Reduced organization allows β2AR-cAMP to influence contractility in myocardial apex Variability in cell structure may allow differential response of heart regions

Abstract
Lipid microenvironments in the plasma membrane are known to influence many signal transduction pathways. Several of those pathways are critical for both the etiology and treatment of depression. Further, several signaling proteins are modified, covalently, by lipids, a process that alters their interface with the microenvironments mentioned above. This review presents a brief discussion of the interface of the above elements as well as a discussion about the participation of lipids and lipid moieties in the action of antidepressants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In human cardiac ventricle, IK1 is mainly comprised Kir2.1, but Kir2.2 and Kir2.3 heterotetramers occur and modulate IK1. Long-QT syndrome-9-associated CAV3 mutations cause decreased Kir2.1 current density, but Kir2.x heterotetramers have not been studied. Here, we determine the effect of long-QT syndrome-9-CAV3 mutation F97C on Kir2.x homo- and heterotetramers and model-associated arrhythmia mechanisms. METHODS AND RESULTS Super-resolution microscopy, co-immunoprecipitation, cellular electrophysiology, on-cell Western blotting, and simulation of Purkinje and ventricular myocyte mathematical models were used. Kir2.x isoforms have unique subcellular colocalization in human cardiomyocytes and coimmunoprecipitate with Cav3. F97C-Cav3 decreased peak inward Kir2.2 current density by 50% (-120 mV; P=0.019) and peak outward by 75% (-40 mV; P<0.05) but did not affect Kir2.3 current density. FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) efficiency for Kir2.2 with Cav3 is high, and on-cell Western blotting demonstrates decreased Kir2.2 membrane expression with F97C-Cav3. Cav3-F97C reduced peak inward and outward current density of Kir2.2/Kir2.1 or Kir2.2/Kir2.3 heterotetramers (P<0.05). Only Cav3 scaffolding and membrane domains co-immunoprecipitation with Kir2.1 and Kir2.2 and Kir2.x-N-terminal Cav3 binding motifs are required for interaction. Mathematical Purkinje, but not ventricular, myocyte model incorporating simulated current reductions, predicts spontaneous delayed after-depolarization-mediated triggered activity. CONCLUSIONS Kir2.x isoforms have a unique intracellular pattern of distribution in association with specific Cav3 domains and that critically depends on interaction with N-terminal Kir2.x Cav3-binding motifs. Long-QT syndrome-9-CAV3 mutation differentially regulates current density and cell surface expression of Kir2.x homomeric and heteromeric channels. Mathematical Purkinje cell model incorporating experimental findings suggests delayed after-depolarization-type triggered activity as a possible arrhythmia mechanism.

Abstract
Background and Purpose Expression of the pro‐fibrotic galectin‐3 and the pro‐apoptotic BIM is elevated in diseased heart or after β‐adrenoceptor stimulation, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This question was addressed in the present study. Experimental Approach Wild‐type mice and mice with cardiac transgenic expression of β2‐adrenoceptors, mammalian sterile‐20 like kinase 1 (Mst1) or dominant‐negative Mst1, and non‐specific galectin‐3 knockout mice were used. Effects of the β‐adrenoceptor agonist isoprenaline or β‐adrenoceptor antagonists were studied. Rat cardiomyoblasts (H9c2) were used for mechanistic exploration. Biochemical assays were performed. Key Results Isoprenaline treatment up‐regulated expression of galectin‐3 and BIM, and this was inhibited by non‐selective or selective β‐adrenoceptor antagonists (by 60–70%). Cardiac expression of galectin‐3 and BIM was increased in β2‐adrenoceptor transgenic mice. Isoprenaline‐induced up‐regulation of galectin‐3 and BIM was attenuated by Mst1 inactivation, but isoprenaline‐induced galectin‐3 expression was exaggerated by transgenic Mst1 activation. Pharmacological or genetic activation of β‐adrenoceptors induced Mst1 expression and yes‐associated protein (YAP) phosphorylation. YAP hyper‐phosphorylation was also evident in Mst1 transgenic hearts with up‐regulated expression of galectin‐3 (40‐fold) and BIM as well as up‐regulation of many YAP‐target genes by RNA sequencing. In H9c2 cells, isoprenaline induced YAP phosphorylation and expression of galectin‐3 and BIM, effects simulated by forskolin but abolished by PKA inhibitors, and YAP knockdown induced expression of galectin‐3 and BIM. Conclusions and Implications Stimulation of cardiac β‐adrenoceptors activated the Mst1/Hippo pathway leading to YAP hyper‐phosphorylation with enhanced expression of galectin‐3 and BIM. This signalling pathway would have therapeutic potential. Linked Articles This article is part of a themed section on Adrenoceptors—New Roles for Old Players.

Abstract
Aging is associated with diminished cardiac function in males. Cardiac excitation-contraction coupling in ventricular myocytes involves Ca influx via the Ca current (ICa) and Ca release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which occur predominantly at t-tubules. Caveolin-3 regulates t-tubular ICa, partly through protein kinase A (PKA), and both ICa and caveolin-3 decrease with age. We therefore investigated ICa and t-tubule structure and function in cardiomyocytes from male wild-type (WT) and caveolin-3-overexpressing (Cav-3OE) mice at 3 and 24 months of age. In WT cardiomyocytes, t-tubular ICa-density was reduced by ~50% with age while surface ICa density was unchanged. Although regulation by PKA was unaffected by age, inhibition of caveolin-3-binding reduced t-tubular ICa at 3 months, but not at 24 months. While Cav-3OE increased cardiac caveolin-3 protein expression ~2.5-fold at both ages, the age-dependent reduction in caveolin-3 (WT ~35%) was preserved in transgenic mice. Overexpression of caveolin-3 reduced t-tubular ICa density at 3 months but prevented further ICa loss with age. Measurement of Ca release at the t-tubules revealed that the triggering of local Ca release by t-tubular ICa was unaffected by age. In conclusion, the data suggest that the reduction in ICa density with age is associated with the loss of a caveolin-3-dependent mechanism that augments t-tubular ICa density.

Abstract
3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger produced in response to the stimulation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). It regulates a plethora of pathophysiological processes in different organs, including the cardiovascular system. It is now clear that cAMP is not uniformly distributed within cardiac myocytes but confined in specific subcellular compartments where it modulates key players of the excitation-contraction coupling as well as other processes including gene transcription, mitochondrial homeostasis and cell death. This review will cover the major cAMP microdomains in cardiac myocytes. We will describe recent work using pioneering tools developed for investigating the organization and the function of the major cAMP microdomains in cardiomyocytes, including the plasma membrane, the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the myofilaments, the nucleus and the mitochondria.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of membrane receptors and mediate the effects of a multitude of extracellular cues, such as hormones, neurotransmitters, odorants and light. Because of their involvement in numerous physiological and pathological processes and their accessibility, they are extensively exploited as pharmacological targets. Biochemical and structural biology investigations have clarified the molecular basis of GPCR signaling to a high level of detail. In spite of this, how GPCRs can efficiently and precisely translate extracellular signals into specific and well-orchestrated biological responses in the complexity of a living cell or organism remains insufficiently understood. To explain the high efficiency and specificity observed in GPCR signaling, it has been suggested that GPCR might signal in discrete nanodomains on the plasma membrane or even form stable complexes with G proteins and effectors. However, directly testing these hypotheses has proven a major challenge. Recent studies taking advantage of innovative optical methods such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and single-molecule microscopy have begun to dig into the organization of GPCR signaling in living cells on the spatial (nm) and temporal (ms) scales on which cell signaling events are taking place. The results of these studies are revealing a complex and highly dynamic picture, whereby GPCRs undergo transient interaction with their signaling partners, membrane lipids and the cytoskeleton to form short-lived signaling nanodomains both on the plasma membrane and at intracellular sites. Continuous exchanges among such nanodomains via later diffusion as well as via membrane trafficking might provide a highly sophisticated way of controlling the timing and location of GPCR signaling. Here, we will review the most recent advances in our understanding of the organization of GPCR signaling in living cells, with a particular focus on its dynamics.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although many patients suffering from HF die from sudden cardiac death caused by arrhythmias, the mechanism linking HF remodeling to an increased arrhythmogenic propensity remains incomplete. HF is typically characterized by a progressive loss of transverse tubule (T-tubule) domains, which leads to an altered distribution of L-type calcium channels (LTCCs). Microdomain degradation also causes the disruption of the β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) and phosphodiesterase (PDE) signaling localization, normally confined to the dyadic space. The goal of this study was to analyze how these subcellular changes affect the function of LTCCs and lead to the emergence of ventricular cell-level triggers of arrhythmias. To accomplish this, we developed a novel computational model of a human ventricular HF myocyte in which LTCCs were divided into six different populations, based on their location and signaling environment they experience. To do so, we included T-tubular microdomain remodeling which led to a subset of LTCCs to be redistributed from the T-tubular to the surface membrane and allowed for different levels of phosphorylation of LTCCs by PKA, based on the presence of β2ARs and PDEs. The model was used to study the behavior of the LTCC current (ICaL) under basal and sympathetic stimulation and its effect on cellular action potential. Our results showed that channels redistributed from the T-tubular membrane to the bulk of the sarcolemma displayed an altered function in their new, non-native signaling domain. Incomplete calcium dependent inactivation, which resulted in a longer-lasting and larger-in-magnitude LTCC current, was observed when we decoupled LTCCs from ryanodine receptors and removed them from the dyadic space. The magnitude of the LTCC current, especially in the surface sarcolemma, was also increased via phosphorylation by the redistributed β2ARs and PDEs. These changes in LTCC current led to the development of early afterdepolarizations. Thus, our study shows that altered LTCC function is a potential cause for the emergence of cell-level triggers of arrhythmia, and that β2ARs and PDEs present useful therapeutic targets for treatment of HF and prevention of sudden cardiac death.

Spontaneous beating of the sinoatrial node (SAN), the primary pacemaker of the heart, is initiated, sustained, and regulated by a complex system that integrates ion channels and transporters on the cell membrane surface (often referred to as "membrane clock") with subcellular calcium handling machinery (by parity of reasoning referred to as an intracellular "Ca2+ clock"). Stable, rhythmic beating of the SAN is ensured by a rigorous synchronization between these two clocks highlighted in the coupled-clock system concept of SAN timekeeping. The emerging results demonstrate that such synchronization of the complex pacemaking machinery at the cellular level depends on tightly regulated spatiotemporal signals which are restricted to precise sub-cellular microdomains and associated with discrete clusters of different ion channels, transporters, and regulatory receptors. It has recently become evident that within the microdomains, various proteins form an interacting network and work together as a part of a macromolecular signaling complex. These protein-protein interactions are tightly controlled and regulated by a variety of neurohormonal signaling pathways and the diversity of cellular responses achieved with a limited pool of second messengers is made possible through the organization of essential signal components in particular microdomains. In this review, we highlight the emerging understanding of the functionality of distinct subcellular microdomains in SAN myocytes and their functional role in the accumulation and neurohormonal regulation of proteins involved in cardiac pacemaking. We also demonstrate how changes in scaffolding proteins may lead to microdomain-targeted remodeling and regulation of pacemaker proteins contributing to SAN dysfunction.
