Abstract
High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) released from necrotic cells or macrophages functions as a late inflammatory mediator and has been shown to induce cardiovascular collapse during sepsis. Thus far, however, the effect(s) of HMGB1 in the heart are not known. We determined the effects of HMGB1 on isolated feline cardiac myocytes by measuring sarcomere shortening in contracting cardiac myocytes, intracellular Ca2+ transients by using fluo-3, and L-type calcium currents by using whole cell perforate configuration of the patch-clamp technique. Treatment of isolated myocytes with HMGB1 (100 ng/ml) resulted in a 70% decrease in sarcomere shortening and a 50% decrease in the height of the peak Ca2+ transient within 5 min ( P < 0.01). The immediate negative inotropic effects of HMGB1 on cell contractility and calcium homeostasis were partially reversible upon washout of HMGB1. A significant inhibition of the inward l-type calcium currents was also documented by the patch-clamp technique. HMGB1 induced the PKC-ε translocation, and a PKC inhibitor significantly attenuated the negative inotropic effects of HMGB1. These studies show for the first time that HMGB1 impairs sarcomere shortening by decreasing calcium availability in cardiac myocytes through modulating membrane calcium influx and suggest that HMGB1 maybe acts as a novel myocardial depressant factor during cardiac injury.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
