Popis: The accumulation of both Inositol-(1,4,5)-trisphosphate (IP3) and Inositol-(1,3,4,5)-tetrakisphosphate (IP4) after hormonal stimulation has a physiological role, possibly in altering Ca2+ levels in cardiac tissue. However, the accumulation of inositol polyphosphate under pathophysiological conditions has not been studied. In our experiments the metabolism of phatidylinositol and IP3 in cardiac myocytes as investigated. It was shown that basal levels of cytosolic phosphatidylinositol specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate specific phospholipase C (PIP2-PLC) activities markedly increased in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) with age compared with age matched Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY). IP3 kinase and IP3 phosphatase activities also increased in SHRSP hearts with age. Their activities increased in WKY, but to a lesser extent than in SHRSPs. These data suggest that a PI turnover pathway such as the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-IP3-Ca2+ pathway or the diacylglyceride-protein kinase C pathway may have an important role in the development of hypertrophy in SHRSP heart.
