A fusion protein (C1C2) constructed by fusing the intracellular C1 and C2 segments of adenylyl cyclase type 6 (AC6) retains beneficial effects of AC6 expression, without increasing cyclic adenosine monophosphate generation. The effects of cardiac-directedC1C2expression in pressure overload is unknown. Left ventricular (LV) pressure overload was induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC) in C1C2 mice and in transgene negative (TG–) mice. Four weeks after TAC, LV systolic function and diastolic function were measured, and Ca2+ handling was assessed. Four weeks after TAC, TG– animals showed reduced LV peak +dP/dt. LV peak +dP/dt in C1C2 mice was statistically indistinguishable from that of normal mice and was higher than that seen in TG– mice 4 weeks after TAC (p= 0.02), despite similar and substantial cardiac hypertrophy. In addition to higher LV peak +dP/dtin vivo, cardiac myocytes from C1C2 mice showed shorter time-to-peak Ca2+ transient amplitude (p= 0.002) and a reduced time constant of cytosolic Ca2+ decline (Tau;p= 0.003). Sarcomere shortening fraction (p< 0.03) and the rate of sarcomere shortening (p< 0.02) increased in C1C2 cardiac myocytes. Myofilament sensitivity to Ca2+ was increased in systole (p= 0.02) and diastole (p= 0.04) in C1C2 myocytes. These findings indicate enhanced Ca2+ handling associated withC1C2expression. Favorable effects on Ca2+ handling and LV function were associated with increased LV SERCA2a protein content (p= 0.015) and reduced LV fibrosis (p= 0.008). Cardiac-directedC1C2expression improves Ca2+ handling and increases LV contractile function in pressure overload. These data provide a rationale for further exploration of C1C2 gene transfer as a potential treatment for heart failure.
