Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may lead to pulmonary hypertension (PH) and reduced function of the right ventricle ( RV). However, COPD patients may also develop left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction. We hypothesized that alveolar hypoxia induces LV diastolic dysfunction and changes in proteins governing Ca2+ removal from cytosol during diastole. Mice exposed to 10% oxygen for 1, 2, or 4 wk were compared with controls. Cardiac hemodynamics were assessed with Doppler echocardiography and a microtransducer catheter under general anesthesia. The pulmonary artery blood flow acceleration time was shorter and RV pressure was higher after 4 wk of hypoxia compared with controls (both P < 0.05). In the RV and LV, 4 wk of hypoxia induced a prolongation of the time constant of isovolumic pressure decay (51% RV, 43% LV) and a reduction in the maximum rate of decline in pressure compared with control (42% RV, 42% LV, all P < 0.05), indicating impaired relaxation and diastolic dysfunction. Alveolar hypoxia induced a 38%, 47%, and 27% reduction in Ser16-phosphorylated phospholamban (PLB) in the RV after 1, 2, and 4 wk of hypoxia, respectively, and at the same time points, Ser16-phosphorylated PLB in the LV was downregulated by 32%, 34%, and 25% (all P < 0.05). The amounts of PLB and sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2a) were not changed. In conclusion, chronic alveolar hypoxia induces hypophosphorylation of PLB at Ser16, which might be a mechanism for impaired relaxation and diastolic dysfunction in both the RV and LV.
