From Ca2+ dysregulation to heart failure: β-adrenoceptor activation by RKIP postpones molecular damages and subsequent cardiac dysfunction in mice carrying mutant PLNR9C by correction of aberrant Ca2+-handling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Impaired cardiomyocyte Ca 2+ handling is a central hallmark of heart failure (HF), which causes contractile dysfunction and arrhythmias . However, the underlying molecular mechanisms and the precise contribution of defects in Ca 2+ -cycling regulation in the development of HF are still not completely resolved. Here, we used transgenic mice that express a human mutation in the cardiomyocyte Ca 2+ -regulator phospholamban (PLN R9C -tg) causing severe HF due to a reduction in Ca 2+ reuptake into the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum (SR). PLN R9C -induced HF is a rapidly progressing condition characterized by prominent Ca 2+ cycling and relaxation defects and premature death of mutation carriers. We found that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondrial function are affected even before transition to overt HF. Early correction of aberrant Ca 2+ cycling by cardiac expression of the Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP), an endogenous activator of β-adrenoceptors (βAR), delayed the cellular alterations, functional failure and prolonged lifespan. Our study highlights the importance of early and persistent correction of Ca 2 + dynamics, not only for excitation/contraction coupling, but also for the prevention of rather irreparable events on cardiac energetics and ER stress adaptations. The latter may even impede with later onset of Ca 2+ -related therapeutic interventions and should gain more focus for HF treatment.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
