The compensatory increase in catecholamine release does not reverse orthostatic intolerance after returning from a long-term spaceflight, but it is unclear whether high dose of catecholamine induces cardiac damage. The tail-suspended rat model was used to simulate the effects of weightlessness on the heart. Apoptotic rates in the left ventricular myocardium did not increase in 4-week of tail-suspended rats compared with the synchronous control. On the contrary, isoproterenol (intraperitoneal injection) and 1-day recovery from the 4-week tail-suspension increased apoptotic rates in the myocardium. Propranolol and PD150606 inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis in the recovery group. PD150606 and calpain-2 knockdown also blocked isoproterenol-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis in tail-suspended rats. The activity and nuclear translocation of calpain-2 increased, but the expression of calpain-1, calpain-2, and calpastatin was unchanged in the myocardium of tail-suspended rats. The Ser-16-phosphorylated phospholamban of the nuclear envelope was higher in tail-suspended rats than in the control rats under isoproterenol stimulation. Isoproterenol treatment also induced a large intranuclear Ca(2+) transient of cardiomyocytes in tail-suspended rats. These results suggest that high-dose isoproterenol phosphorylates phospholamban of the nuclear envelope and increases intranuclear Ca(2+) transient. Larger intranuclear Ca(2+) further activates nuclear calpain-2 and hence induces cardiomyocyte apoptosis. J. Cell. Biochem. 112: 571-580, 2011. (C) 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
