Defective interaction between FKBP12.6 and ryanodine receptors (RyR) is a possible cause of cardiac dysfunction in heart failure (HF). Here, we assess whether a new cardioprotective agent, JTV519 can correct it in tachycardia-induced HF. HF was induced in dogs by 4-weeks rapid RV pacing, and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was isolated from LV muscles. In failing SR, JTV519 increased the rate of Ca2+ release and [3H]ryanodine binding. RyR were then labeled in a site-directed fashion with the fluorescent conformational probe methylcoumarin acetamide (MCA). In failing SR, the polylysine-induced rapid change in MCA fluorescence (
F), presumably due to channel opening preceding the Ca2+ release, was smaller than in normal SR (consistent with a decreased rate of Ca2+ release in failing SR), and JTV519 increased it. In conclusion, JTV519, a new 1,4-benzothiazepine derivative, corrected the defective channel gating in RyR (increase in both the rapid conformational change and the subsequent Ca2+-release rate) in HF.
