We have examined the
changes in quantity and activity of cardiac sarcolemmal (SL)
phosphoinositide-phospholipase C
(PLC)-
1, -
1, and
-
1 in a model of congestive
heart failure (CHF) secondary to large transmural myocardial infarction
(MI). We also instituted a late in vivo monotherapy with imidapril, an
ANG-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, to test the hypothesis that its
therapeutic action is associated with the functional correction of PLC
isoenzymes. SL membranes were purified from the surviving left
ventricle of rats in a moderate stage of CHF at 8 wk after occlusion of
the left anterior descending coronary artery. SL PLC isoenzymes were examined in terms of protein mass and hydrolytic activity. CHF resulted
in a striking reduction (to 6-17% of controls) of the mass and
activity of
1- and
1-isoforms in combination with
a significant increase of both PLC
1 parameters. In vivo treatment with imidapril (1 mg/kg body wt, daily, initiated 4 wk
after coronary occlusion) improved the contractile
function and induced a partial correction of PLCs. The mass of SL
phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and the activities of the enzymes
responsible for its synthesis were significantly reduced in post-MI CHF
and partially corrected by imidapril. The results indicate that
profound changes in the profile of heart SL
PLC-
1,
-
1, and
-
1 occur in CHF, which could alter the complex second messenger responses of these isoforms, whereas
their partial correction by imidapril may be related to the mechanism
of action of this ACE inhibitor.
