The precise mechanism of the progression of advanced heart failure is unknown. We assessed a new scheme in two heart failure models: (1) congenital dilated cardiomyopathy (I)CM) in TO-2 strain hamsters lacking delta-sarcoglycan (SG) gene and (11) administration of a high-dose of isoproterenol, as an acute heart failure in normal rats. In TO-2 hamsters, we followed the time course of the histological, physiological and metabolic the progressions of heart failure to the end stage. Dystrophin localization detected by immunostaining age-dependently to the myoplasm and the in situ sarcolemma fragility evaluated by Evans blue entry was increased in the same cardiomyocytes. Western blotting revealed a limited cleavage of the dystrophin protein at the rod domain, strongly suggesting a contribution of endogenous protease(s). We found a remarkable up-regulation of the amount of calpain- 1 and -2, and no change of their counterpart, calpastatin. After supplementing TO-2 hearts with the normal delta-SG gene in vivo, these pathological alterations and the animals' survival improved. Furthermore, dystrophin but not delta-SG was disrupted by a high dose of isoproterenol, translocated from the sarcolemma to the myoplasm and fragmented. These results of heart failure, irrespective of the hereditary or acquired origin, indicate a vicious cycle formed by the increased sarcolemma permeability, preferential activation of calpain over calpastatin, and translocation and cleavage of dystrophin would commonly lead to advanced heart failure.
