Aims: Adverse cardiovascular effects induced by peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) activation were observed in clinical setting. But the underlying mechanism is unclear. Now, transgenic mice with cardiac specific peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-gamma overexpression (TG-PPAR-gamma) were used to explore the possible mechanisms.Materials and methods: Cardiac tissues from TG-PPAR-gamma mice, a PPAR-gamma over-expressing human cardiomyocyte line AC16 cell, and PPAR-gamma agonist-treated primary cardiomyocytes were used to evaluate the expression of cardiac calcium regulatory proteins as sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase, Na+/Ca2+ exchanger 1, ryanodine receptor 2 and phospholamban. Intracellular Ca2+ levels were also examined by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy with Fluo-4/AM in these cells.Key findings: In this study, frequent ventricular premature contraction and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia were observed in TG-PPAR-gamma but not in wild-type mice. Besides, we found the calcium regulatory proteins expression were higher in the TG-PPAR-gamma mice, PPAR-gamma overexpressing human cardiomyocyte line AC16 cell and PPAR-gamma agonist-treated primary cardiomyocytes than the control group respectively. In addition, an increase of intracellular calcium levels and CaMKII delta expression in PPAR-gamma overexpression and PPAR-gamma activation group. Moreover, Inhibition of CaMKII delta could improve the intracellular calciumlevels and reduce the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmia.Significance: PPAR-gamma over-expression perturbs the intracellular calcium homeostasis in cardiomyocytes which contribute to the ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac sudden death in TG-PPAR-gamma mice.
