Abstract
Enhanced cardiac contractile function with increased sarcomere length (SL) is, in part, mediated by a decrease in the radial distance between myosin heads and actin. The radial disposition of myosin heads relative to actin is modulated by cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C), suggesting that cMyBP-C contributes to the length-dependent activation (LDA) in the myocardium. However, the precise roles of cMyBP-C in modulating cardiac LDA are unclear. To determine the impact of cMyBP-C on LDA, we measured isometric force, myofilament Ca(2+)-sensitivity (pCa50) and length-dependent changes in kinetic parameters of cross-bridge (XB) relaxation (k rel), and recruitment (k df) due to rapid stretch, as well as the rate of force redevelopment (k tr) in response to a large slack-restretch maneuver in skinned ventricular multicellular preparations isolated from the hearts of wild-type (WT) and cMyBP-C knockout (KO) mice, at SL's 1.9 μm or 2.1 μm. Our results show that maximal force was not significantly different between KO and WT preparations but length-dependent increase in pCa50 was attenuated in the KO preparations. pCa50 was not significantly different between WT and KO preparations at long SL (5.82 ± 0.02 in WT vs. 5.87 ± 0.02 in KO), whereas pCa50 was significantly different between WT and KO preparations at short SL (5.71 ± 0.02 in WT vs. 5.80 ± 0.01 in KO; p < 0.05). The k tr, measured at half-maximal Ca(2+)-activation, was significantly accelerated at short SL in WT preparations (8.74 ± 0.56 s(-1) at 1.9 μm vs. 5.71 ± 0.40 s(-1) at 2.1 μm, p < 0.05). Furthermore, k rel and k df were accelerated by 32% and 50%, respectively at short SL in WT preparations. In contrast, k tr was not altered by changes in SL in KO preparations (8.03 ± 0.54 s(-1) at 1.9 μm vs. 8.90 ± 0.37 s(-1) at 2.1 μm). Similarly, KO preparations did not exhibit length-dependent changes in k rel and k df. Collectively, our data implicate cMyBP-C as an important regulator of LDA via its impact on dynamic XB behavior due to changes in SL.
