Cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C) phosphorylation modulates cardiac contractility. When expressed in cMyBP-C null (cMyBP-C(t/t)) hearts, a cMyBP-C phosphomimetic (cMyBP-CAllP+), rescued cardiac dysfunction and protected the hearts from ischemic-reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, cMyBP-C function may be dependent upon the myosin isoform type. Since these replacements were carried out in the mouse heart, which contains predominantly α-myosin heavy chain (α-MyHC), the applicability of the data to the human, whose cardiomyocytes contain predominantly β-MyHC, is unclear. We determined the effect(s) of cMyBP-C phosphorylation in a “humanized” mouse heart in which >80% of the α-MyHC was replaced by β-MyHC, which is the predominant myosin isoform in human cardiac muscle. To determine the effects of cMyBP-C phosphorylation in a β-MyHC background, transgenic mice expressing normal cMyBP-C (cMyBP-CWT), nonphosphorylatable cMyBP-C (cMyBP-CAllP-), or cMyBP-CAllP+ were bred into the β-MyHC background (β). These mice were then crossed into the cMyBP-C(t/t) background to ensure the absence of endogenous cMyBP-C. cMyBP-C(t/t)/β and cMyBP-CAllP-:(t/t)/β mice died prematurely due to heart failure, confirming that cMyBP-C phosphorylation is essential in the β-MyHC background. cMyBP-CAllP+:(t/t)/β and cMyBP-CWT:(t/t)/β hearts showed no morbidity and mortality and cMyBP-CAllP+:(t/t)/β hearts were significantly cardioprotected from I/R injury. cMyBP-C phosphorylation is necessary for basal myocardial function in the β-MyHC background and can preserve function after I/R injury. Our studies justify exploration of cMyBP-C phosphorylation as a therapeutic target in the human heart.
