Heart failure is the leading cause of combined morbidity and mortality in the USA with 50% of cases being diastolic heart failure. Diastolic heart failure results from poor myocardial relaxation and inadequate filling of the left ventricular chamber caused in part by calcium-handling dysregulation. In this chapter we describe methods to investigate new approaches of novel human Ca2+ binding protein motifs to restore normal Ca2+ handling function to diseased myocardium. Gene transfer of parvalbumin into adult cardiac myocytes has been studied as a potential therapeutic, specifically as a strategic Ca2+ buffer to correct cardiac mechanical dysfunction in disease. This chapter provides protocols for studying wild-type parvalbumin isoforms and parvalbumins with strategically designed EF-hand motifs in adult cardiac myocytes via acute adenoviral gene transfer. These protocols have been used extensively to optimize parvalbumin function as a potential therapeutic for failing heart muscle.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008954 Models, Biological Theoretical representations that simulate the behavior or activity of biological processes or diseases. For disease models in living animals, DISEASE MODELS, ANIMAL is available. Biological models include the use of mathematical equations, computers, and other electronic equipment. Biological Model,Biological Models,Model, Biological,Models, Biologic,Biologic Model,Biologic Models,Model, Biologic
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010320 Parvalbumins Low molecular weight, calcium binding muscle proteins. Their physiological function is possibly related to the contractile process. Parvalbumin,Parvalbumin B
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D002135 Calcium-Binding Proteins Proteins to which calcium ions are bound. They can act as transport proteins, regulator proteins, or activator proteins. They typically contain EF HAND MOTIFS.

D005260 Female Females
D005822 Genetic Vectors DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

D006352 Heart Ventricles The lower right and left chambers of the heart. The right ventricle pumps venous BLOOD into the LUNGS and the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic arterial circulation.
