Multiple studies have shown that phospholamban (PLN) plays a key role in regulation of frequency -dependent increase of cardiac contraction, a hallmark of the contractile reserve in myocardium. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain elusive. Phosphorylation of PLN occurs on residues: serine-16 (Ser(16)) and threonine-17 (Thr(17)) in vivo. In isolated wild-type cardiomyocytes, we found that increases of stimulation frequency from 0.5 to 5 Hz were associated with increased Thr 17 phosphorylation of PLN and cardiac contractility. To further delineate the role of PLN phosphorylation in the frequency-dependent increases of cardiac function, three transgenic mouse models, expressing wild-type, Ser16Ala (S16A), or Thr17Ala T17A) mutant PLN in the null background were generated. Transgenic lines expressing similar levels of wild-type or mutant PLN were selected and isolated cardiornyocytes were paced from 0.5 to 5 Hz. Upon increases in pacing frequency, the fractional shortening (FS) and rates of contraction (+dL/dt) and relaxation (-dL/dt) increased in wild-type and S16A mutant PLN cardiomyocytes. In contrast, in myocytes expressing the T17A mutant PLN, there were no increases in FS and dL/dt upon increasing the frequency of stimulation. The time to 50% peak shortening (TTP50) and to 50% relaxation (TTR50) were also abbreviated to a much higher extent (two-fold) in wild-type and S16A mutant compared to T17A mutant PLN cardionnyocytes. These results indicate that Thr(17) phosphorylation of PLN is the major contributor to frequency-dependent increases of contractile and relaxation parameters in mouse cardiomyocytes, although some increases in these parameters occur even in the absence of PLN phosphorylation. Thus, the positive force-frequency relationship in cardiornyocytes is mechanistically and mainly related to PLN phosphorylation. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
