The cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2)/Ca2+ release channel on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is regulated by evolutionarily highly conserved signaling pathways that control excitation-contraction (EC) coupling in the heart. Phosphorylation of RyR2 by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) plays a key role in regulating the channel in response to stress via activation of the sympathetic nervous system (the "fight-or-flight response").1 Maladaptive PKA hyperphosphorylation of RyR2 in failing hearts alters channel function, which may cause depletion of SR Ca2+ and diastolic release of SR Ca2+. This can initiate delayed afterdepolarizations that trigger ventricular arrhythmias.1 Mutations in RyR2 recently have been identified in patients with catecholaminergic induced sudden cardiac death (SCD).2–4 There may be a direct link between the PKA hyperphosphorylation of RyR2 that occurs during the progression of heart failure and fatal cardiac arrhythmias.

Regulation of cardiac EC coupling by the release of Ca2+ from the SR via RyR2 in cardiomyocytes, known as Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR), has been appreciated for more than a decade.5,6 Furthermore, it is well known that the amplitude of the Ca2+ transient generated by SR Ca2+ release determines contractile force in cardiomyocytes. The systems that regulate SR Ca2+ release include: (1) the triggers (predominantly Ca2+ influx through the voltage-gated Ca2+ channel on the plasma membrane); (2) the SR Ca2+ release channel or type 2 RyR2; and (3) the SR Ca2+ reuptake pump (SERCA2a) and its regulator phospholamban. These systems (trigger, release, and reuptake) are modulated by signaling pathways, including the ß-adrenergic receptor (ß-AR) signaling pathway (ie, . . . [Full Text of this Article]
