Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death and is expected to account for> 23 million deaths by 2030. Of those deaths, one-half million each year will experience arrhythmia-induced sudden cardiac death. 1 Therefore, research on new strategies to mitigate adrenergic imbalance associated with arrhythmogenesis is essential to public health. In the heart, although the activity of the primary voltage-gated Nav channel, Nav1. 5, is critical for normal cardiac excitability, alteration of the late component of INa (INa, L) is linked with heritable and acquired arrhythmias. Our group and others have identified CaMKII-dependent phosphorylation of Nav1. 5 as an important driver of increased pathogenic INa, L in myocyte, animal models of cardiovascular disease, and human heart. We recently published new findings that support a critical role for PP2A (protein phosphatase 2A) in the regulation of pathogenic INa, L in heart. 2 PP2A is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine phosphatase with high expression in the heart. Although protein phosphatase 1 is the dominant PP in heart, PP2A activity regulates the activity of key membrane proteins. The PP2A holoenzyme comprised of 3 subunits (scaffolding [A], regulatory [B], and catalytic [C]). PP2A A/C subunits are encoded by 2 genes, whereas thirteen different genes encode PP2A regulatory subunits. Our findings support that mice lacking a specific regulatory subunit (B56α) display alteration in Nav1. 5 CaMKII-dependent phosphorylation (reduced) and ultimately decreased INa, L in response to isoproterenol. 2 Although the findings support an unanticipated role for B56α in INa, L regulation, the work raises questions about the underlying molecular mechanism. For example, loss of B56α may lead to defects in the expression of Nav1. 5 regulatory complex in the myocyte. Further, prior structural work has supported that in the absence of the regulatory subunit, the PP2A A/C holoenzyme, while less regulated, displays increased activity. 3 In addition, alterations in the ratio of regulatory subunit: catalytic subunit may increase PP2A activity. 4 Loss of B56α may impact the activity of other regulatory subunits as well as up-and downstream regulatory molecules. Finally, as our work used mice lacking B56α in all tissue, secondary noncardiac mechanisms may contribute to phenotypes. In summary, the work provides a rationale for future studies to understand the link between PP2A and INa, L, particularly given the arrhythmogenic role for INa, L in humans.We appreciate the comments from Cristóbal et al highlighting the global impact of PP2A regulation (and potential PP2A-based therapies). Relevant to their comments, the occurrence of cardio-oncological complications secondary to antineoplastic agents represents a major challenge to comprehensive care teams. Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in cancer survivors, 5, 6 and so it is imperative that we focus on the interaction between cardiovascular function and cancer therapies.
