Arterial hypertension causes left ventricular (LV) myocyte hypertrophy. Alterations in nuclear Ca2+ may be involved in regulation of histone acetylation, transcription and hypertrophy. Regulation of nuclear Ca2+ in hypertension, however, is unknown. Therefore, we elucidated cellular mechanisms underlying nuclear Ca2+ regulation in LV myocytes from hypertensive versus normotensive rats and evaluated possible consequences for Ca2+-dependent regulation of histone acetylation. LV myocytes and myocyte nuclei were isolated from young spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) shortly after development of hypertension. Normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) served as controls. Cytoplasmic and nucleoplasmic Ca2+ transients (CaTs) were imaged simultaneously using linescan confocal microscopy and Fluo-4. LV myocytes and nuclei from SHR exhibited hypertrophy. Cytoplasmic and nucleoplasmic CaTs were increased in SHR. The increase in nucleoplasmic Ca2+, however, exceeded the increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+, indicating enhanced nuclear Ca2+ signaling in SHR. Ca2+ load of sarcoplasmic reticulum and perinuclear Ca2+ stores was also increased in SHR, while fractional release from both stores remained unchanged. Intranuclear Ca2+ propagation was accelerated in SHR, associated with preserved density of nuclear envelope invaginations and elevated nuclear expression of nucleoporins and SR-Ca2+-ATPase, SERCA2a. Nuclear Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II delta (CaMKI delta) expression was elevated and histone deacetylases exhibited redistribution from nucleus to cytosol associated with increased histone acetylation in SHR. Thus, in early hypertension, there is remodeling of nuclear Ca2+ handling resulting in enhanced nuclear Ca2+ signaling. Enhanced nuclear Ca2+ signaling, in turn, increases nuclear localization and activity of CaMKII delta driving nuclear export of histone deacetylases and increased histone acetylation.
