• W2959121876 abstract "Expression and activation of the large conductance calcium and voltage-gated potassium (BK Ca ) channels encoded by Kcnma1 gene is shown to be vital in cardioprotection from ischemia-reperfusion injury. BK Ca channels present in SA node cells regulate the heart rate, and in blood vessels play an active role in vascular relaxation. However, the role of BK Ca in regulation of structure and function of the heart is not fully-established. Using Kcnma1 -/- mice, we have observed structural changes in cardiomyocytes and compromised cardiac function as compared to wild type mice. Absence of BK Ca resulted in significant increase in size of adult cardiomyocytes (from 7.95 + 0.1 um 2 to 9.68 + 0.1 um 2 , p < 0.01, n=480 cells each) and also increased cardiac fibrosis. Further to determine underlying signaling mechanisms in cardiac hypertrophy, we performed microarray analysis of RNAs isolated from wild type and Kcnma1 -/- mice (n=3) hearts. We found up regulation of a class of cardiac hypertrophy markers (myosin variants) and changes in the expression of several mitochondrial genes (such as ND4) directly associated with heart diseases in Kcnma1 -/- mice. To evaluate the functional consequence of absence of BK Ca , we performed high-resolution echocardiography on wild type and Kcnma1 -/- mice. Under anesthesia (1.5% isoflurane), left ventricle of Kcnma1 -/- mice showed significant reduction (p < 0.05) in ejection fraction (56 + 2 %, n=7) as compared to wild type (74 + 3 %, n=6) as well as fractional shortening (23 + 3 %, n=7, and 39 + 3 %, n=6, respectively). Similarly, right ventricle had a lower ejection fraction (35.7 + 4% vs 56.9 + 5 %, n > 5) in Kcnma1 -/- as compared to wild type mice. In agreement with our histopathology and microarray data, Kcnma1 -/- mice showed increased posterior wall thickness (0.75 + 0.3 mm vs 0.62 + 0.1 mm) and interventricular septum thickness (0.83 + 0.4 mm, n=7 vs 0.68 + 0.3 mm, n=6) . Together, these data imply that BK Ca plays a direct role in cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac function." @default.
