Binding of cardiac glycosides to the Na,K-ATPase has two effects: increased contractility (inotropy) and cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion injury [1]. Cardioprotection is mediated by caveolar vesicles (signalosomes) that bud off the plasma membrane, move to mitochondria, and use a terminal kinase to phosphorylate an outer membrane protein. This activates inner membrane PKCεs, causing opening of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channel (mitoKATP) and inhibition of the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT). These events are assayed in vitro using purified signalosomes from treated hearts and mitochondria from untreated hearts [2].
The terminal kinase of GPCR signalosomes is PKG [2]; however PKG does not mediate cardioprotection by ouabain, so we set out to determine the terminal kinases used by the ouabain signalosome. Rat hearts perfused with ouabain yielded a signalosome fraction that was caveolar in nature and enriched with caveolins 1 and 3, Src, PKCε and the α-1-subunit of the Na+,K+-ATPase. Electron microscopy of purified signalosomes revealed vesicles approximately 140 nM in diameter that were found by immunogold labeling to be decorated with caveolin-3. Ouabain signalosomes from heart opened mitoKATP in mitochondria isolated from untreated hearts and liver. The terminal kinases of the ouabain signalosome are Src and PKCε, which together phosphorylated an endogenous outer membrane p38MAPK. We conclude (1) that ouabain cardioprotection utilizes the signalosome mechanism; (2) that the terminal kinases acting on mitochondria are Src and PKCε, (3) that this is a general mechanism of cell signaling, given that signalosomes from rat heart open mitoKATP in rat liver mitochondria. (4) that ouabain cardioprotection acts via a mitochondrial p38 MAPK.
Digitalis has been used in the treatment of heart failure since 1785. It was thought for many years that its efficacy was due to its positive inotropic effect. This may not be the case. Cardioprotection in both rat and rabbit is seen with concentrations of ouabain that have no inotropic effect.
