Changes in contractile and relaxation properties of heart muscle in the cardiac hypertrophy induced by pressure overload have been attributed to alterations in intracellular Ca2+ transport as well as the phenotypic and quantitative changes in contractile protein. However, contradictory data have been reported regarding Ca2+ uptake, release and storage by the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in SR Ca2+-ATPase, ryanodine receptor, calsequestrin and alpha-actin gene expression, and the changes in Ca2+ uptake capacity in various degrees of hypertrophied hearts due to pressure overload. Cardiac hypertrophy was produced in rats by placing a constricting clip (0.80 mm) around the suprarenal abdominal aorta for 8 days. The mRNA levels and Ca2+ uptake capacity were then measured as a function of the severity of cardiac hypertrophy. Ca2+-ATPase and ryanodine receptor mRNA levels were increased in mildly hypertrophied hearts but were diminished in severely hypertrophied hearts, showing a bimodal response to pressure overload, Ca2+ uptake capacity showed similar changes along with a positive correlation with Ca2+-ATPase mRNA level (r=0.67, P
