Abstract

Background—: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), typically characterized by asymmetrical left ventricular hypertrophy, frequently is caused by mutations in sarcomeric proteins. We studied if changes in sarcomeric properties in HCM depend on the underlying protein mutation. Methods and Results—: Comparisons were made between cardiac samples from patients carrying a MYBPC3 mutation (MYBPC3 mut ; n=17), mutation negative HCM patients without an identified sarcomere mutation (HCM mn ; n=11), and nonfailing donors (n=12). All patients had normal systolic function, but impaired diastolic function. Protein expression of myosin binding protein C (cMyBP-C) was significantly lower in MYBPC3 mut by 33±5%, and similar in HCM mn compared with donor. cMyBP-C phosphorylation in MYBPC3 mut was similar to donor, whereas it was significantly lower in HCM mn . Troponin I phosphorylation was lower in both patient groups compared with donor. Force measurements in single permeabilized cardiomyocytes demonstrated comparable sarcomeric dysfunction in both patient groups characterized by lower maximal force generating capacity in MYBPC3 mut and HCM mn, compared with donor (26.4±2.9, 28.0±3.7, and 37.2±2.3 kN/m 2 , respectively), and higher myofilament Ca 2+ -sensitivity (EC 50 =2.5±0.2, 2.4±0.2, and 3.0±0.2 μmol/L, respectively). The sarcomere length-dependent increase in Ca 2+ -sensitivity was significantly smaller in both patient groups compared with donor (ΔEC 50 : 0.46±0.04, 0.37±0.05, and 0.75±0.07 μmol/L, respectively). Protein kinase A treatment restored myofilament Ca 2+ -sensitivity and length-dependent activation in both patient groups to donor values. Conclusions—: Changes in sarcomere function reflect the clinical HCM phenotype rather than the specific MYBPC3 mutation. Hypocontractile sarcomeres are a common deficit in human HCM with normal systolic left ventricular function and may contribute to HCM disease progression.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
