Sodium accumulation in SERCA knockout-induced heart failure.


ABSTRACT: In cardiomyocytes, a major decrease in the level of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA) can severely impair systolic and diastolic functions. In mice with cardiomyocyte-specific conditional excision of the Serca2 gene (SERCA2 KO), end-stage heart failure developed between four and seven weeks after gene deletion combined with [Na(+)](i) elevation and intracellular acidosis. In this study, to investigate the underpinning changes in Ca(2+) dynamics and metabolic homeostasis, we developed data-driven mathematical models of Ca(2+) dynamics in the ventricular myocytes of the control, four-week, and seven-week SERCA2 knockout (KO) mice. The seven-week KO model showed that elevated [Na(+)](i) was due to increased Na(+) influxes through the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) and the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger, with the latter exacerbated by intracellular acidosis. Furthermore, NCX upregulation in the seven-week KO model resulted in increased ATP consumption for ion transport. Na(+) accumulation in the SERCA KO due to NCX upregulation and intracellular acidosis potentially play a role in the development of heart failure, by initiating a reinforcing cycle involving: a mismatch between ATP demand and supply; an increasingly compromised metabolism; a decreased pH(i); and, finally, an even greater [Na(+)](i) elevation.
