Ca2+ overload and mitochondrial permeability transition pore activation in living delta-sarcoglycan-deficient cardiomyocytes. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 299: C706-C713, 2010. First published June 30, 2010; doi: 10.1152/ajpcell.00545.2009.-Muscular dystrophies are often associated with significant cardiac disease that can be the prominent feature associated with gene mutations in sarcoglycan. Cardiac cell death is a main feature of cardiomyopathy in sarcoglycan deficiency and may arise as a cardiomyocyte intrinsic process that remains unclear. Deficiency of delta-sarcoglycan (delta-SG) induces disruption of the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex, a known cause of membrane instability that may explain cardiomyocytes cytosolic Ca2+ increase. In this study we assessed the hypothesis that cytosolic Ca2+ increase triggers cardiomyocyte death through mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and dysfunction in the delta-SG-deficient CHF147 hamster. We showed that virtually all isolated CHF147 ventricular myocytes exhibited elevated cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca2+ levels by the use of the Fura-2 and Rhod-2 fluorescent probes. Observation of living cells with Mito-Tracker red lead to the conclusion that similar to 15% of isolated CHF147 cardiomyocytes had disorganized mitochondria. Transmission electron microscope imaging showed mitochondrial swelling associated with crest and membrane disruption. Analysis of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) activity using calcein revealed that mitochondria of CHF147 ventricular cells were twofold leakier than wild types, whereas reactive oxygen species production was unchanged. Bax, Bcl-2, and LC3 expression analysis by Western blot indicated that the intrinsic apoptosis and the cell death associated to autophagy pathways were not significantly activated in CHF147 hearts. Our results lead to conclusion that cardiomyocytes death in delta-SG-deficient animals is an intrinsic phenomenon, likely related to Ca2+-induced necrosis. In this process Ca2+ overload-induced MPTP activation and mitochondrial disorganization may have an important role.
