    Immunoblot analysis of L-type calcium channel ( a , b ) and β 1 integrin ( c , d ) protein expression performed on total heart homogenate pooled from groups of 5 pre- (10–15-wk-old) or post-cardiomyopathic (30–50-week-old) cTnI-G203S mice and age-matched wt counterparts. Representative immunoblots probed with L-type calcium channel α 1C subunit (Ca V 1.2, a ) or β 1 integrin ( c ) antibody, then GAPDH monoclonal antibody. Densitometry analysis of Ca V 1.2 ( b ) or β 1 integrin ( d ) protein expression, normalized to associated GAPDH expression. n = number of technical repeats. A Browne-Forsythe and Welch ANOVA ( b ) or Kruskal-Wallis test ( d ) determined statistical significance. Densitometry analysis of relative mTOR expression (calculated as Phospho-mTOR/Total mTOR) performed on cytoplasmic ( e ) and nuclear ( f ) fractions pooled from groups of five pre- or post-cardiomyopathic cTnI-G203S mice and age-matched wt counterparts. β-tubulin and histone H2B antibodies were used as loading controls for cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions respectively. n = number of technical repeats. A Browne-Forsythe and Welch ANOVA ( e ) or Kruskal-Wallis test ( f ) determined statistical significance. g Schematic indicating structural-functional link between the L-type calcium channel, cytoskeletal network, mitochondria, integrin and the extracellular matrix in wt and cTnI-G203S cardiac myocytes. A disrupted cytoskeletal architecture in cTnI-G203S cardiac myocytes may trigger a maladaptive feedback mechanism between increased cytoskeletal and extracellular matrix stiffness, resulting in a hypermetabolic mitochondrial state.

    Different distribution of Ca V 1.2 channel and muscarinic M 4 receptor in the cell membrane in rat AMC cells. ( A ) Immunostaining of Ca V 1.2-YFP fusion protein expressed in HEK293T cells with a rabbit anti-Ca V 1.2 antibody (Ab). HEK293T transfected with a Ca V 1.2-YFP construct were labeled with the rabbit anti-Ca V 1.2 Ab. a and b represent confocal images of Ca V 1.2-like immunofluorescence and YFP fluorescence, respectively; c represents a differential interference contrast (DIC) image. The immunoreaction and YFP fluorescence were visualized with excitation at 514 nm and emission of 530–600 nm and with excitation at 633 and emission above 650 nm, respectively. ( B ) Fractionation analysis of rat adrenal medullae for integral membrane proteins. The cell membrane was divided into the raft and non-raft membrane domains by using discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation (see the Materials and Methods). The same volume of each fraction with 5%–40% sucrose was immunoblotted for caveolin-1, transferrin receptor (R), muscarinic M 4 receptor, and TASK1 channel. Note that caveolin-1, a raft membrane marker, was enriched in the 20% fraction, whereas transferrin R, a non-raft membrane marker, was present in the 40% fraction. ( C ) Double staining for caveolin-1 and Ca V 1.2 and for M 4 receptor and Ca V 1.2 in rat AMC cells. The first column indicates confocal images of caveolin-1 and M 4 receptor-like immunofluorescence. The second column shows confocal images of Ca V 1.2-like immunofluorescence. The third column is a merge of immunofluorescence images. The fourth column shows DIC images. The calibration applies to all the images. Dissociated rat AMC cells were treated overnight with rabbit anti-Ca V 1.2 Ab (dilution, 1:50) and mouse anti-caveolin-1 Ab (1:20) or mouse anti-M 4 Ab (1:50). Ca V 1.2 and caveolin-1 or M 4 receptor-like immunoreactive material were visible as rhodamine and FITC-like fluorescence, respectively. ( D ) Summary of the coincidence rates of caveolin-1 (Cav1) and M 4 with Ca V 1.2. The data represent the mean ± SEM (Cav1/Ca V 1.2, n = 10; M 4 /Ca V 1.2, n = 5). Statistical significance was evaluated with an unpaired Student’s t test.

    Palmitoylation site conservation in human Ca(v)1 channel isoforms. For clarity, regions of the rabbit α1C splice variant of Ca(v)1.2 CACH2A (UniProt accession number P15381) with palmitoylated cysteines identified in this investigation numbered and highlighted in red are shown above the corresponding regions of the human channels. Numbers at the end of each sequence are the numbering of the final amino acid in the region of each Ca(v)1 isoform shown. Human Ca(v)1 isoforms (UniProt accession numbers shown) were aligned using Clustal Ω. “*” below an amino acid indicates 100% conservation between isoforms; “:” indicates amino acids of highly similar properties; “.” indicates amino acids of weakly similar properties. The palmitoylation site in the Ca(v)1.2 N terminus is conserved in all isoforms. Ca(v)1.1 does not possess a cysteine analogous to C519 in the I–II linker, but Ca(v)1.3 and 1.4 do. C543 is unique to Ca(v)1.2.

    Different distribution of Ca V 1.2 channel and muscarinic M 4 receptor in the cell membrane in rat AMC cells. ( A ) Immunostaining of Ca V 1.2-YFP fusion protein expressed in HEK293T cells with a rabbit anti-Ca V 1.2 antibody (Ab). HEK293T transfected with a Ca V 1.2-YFP construct were labeled with the rabbit anti-Ca V 1.2 Ab. a and b represent confocal images of Ca V 1.2-like immunofluorescence and YFP fluorescence, respectively; c represents a differential interference contrast (DIC) image. The immunoreaction and YFP fluorescence were visualized with excitation at 514 nm and emission of 530–600 nm and with excitation at 633 and emission above 650 nm, respectively. ( B ) Fractionation analysis of rat adrenal medullae for integral membrane proteins. The cell membrane was divided into the raft and non-raft membrane domains by using discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation (see the Materials and Methods). The same volume of each fraction with 5%–40% sucrose was immunoblotted for caveolin-1, transferrin receptor (R), muscarinic M 4 receptor, and TASK1 channel. Note that caveolin-1, a raft membrane marker, was enriched in the 20% fraction, whereas transferrin R, a non-raft membrane marker, was present in the 40% fraction. ( C ) Double staining for caveolin-1 and Ca V 1.2 and for M 4 receptor and Ca V 1.2 in rat AMC cells. The first column indicates confocal images of caveolin-1 and M 4 receptor-like immunofluorescence. The second column shows confocal images of Ca V 1.2-like immunofluorescence. The third column is a merge of immunofluorescence images. The fourth column shows DIC images. The calibration applies to all the images. Dissociated rat AMC cells were treated overnight with rabbit anti-Ca V 1.2 Ab (dilution, 1:50) and mouse anti-caveolin-1 Ab (1:20) or mouse anti-M 4 Ab (1:50). Ca V 1.2 and caveolin-1 or M 4 receptor-like immunoreactive material were visible as rhodamine and FITC-like fluorescence, respectively. ( D ) Summary of the coincidence rates of caveolin-1 (Cav1) and M 4 with Ca V 1.2. The data represent the mean ± SEM (Cav1/Ca V 1.2, n = 10; M 4 /Ca V 1.2, n = 5). Statistical significance was evaluated with an unpaired Student’s t test.
