This review aims to systematically analyze how structural and functional remodeling of Ca<sup>2+</sup>-handling proteins drives DCM progression and to evaluate therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways. The movement of intracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup>, which is regulated by transporters like SERCA2a, ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2), and L-type Ca<sup>2+</sup> channels, affects the heart's contraction and relaxation. In DCM, both structural and functional changes in the Ca<sup>2+</sup>-handling machinery-including t-tubule remodeling, modifications to RYR2, and dysregulation of SERCA2a and phospholamban (PLN)-disrupt Ca<sup>2+</sup> cycling, worsening systolic dysfunction and ventricular dilation. For instance, reduced affinity of SERCA2a for Ca<sup>2+</sup> due to imbalances in the PLN-SERCA2a interaction impairs the heart's ability to reuptake Ca<sup>2+</sup> during diastole. Meanwhile, abnormalities in RYR2 contribute to arrhythmogenic Ca<sup>2+</sup> leaks. Targeting these pathways for treatment has two main challenges: too much Ca<sup>2+</sup> modulation can cause arrhythmias, while insufficient correction may fail to improve heart contractility. Precision interventions demand structurally resolved targets, such as stabilizing RYR2 closed states or enhancing SERCA2a activity via gene therapy, to address DCM's heterogeneous pathophysiology. Emerging strategies leveraging t-tubule restoration or isoform-specific L-type channel modulation show promise in normalizing Ca<sup>2+</sup> transients and halting adverse remodeling. This review compiles evidence that connects changes in EC coupling components to the progression of DCM and emphasizes the potential benefits of restoring Ca<sup>2+</sup> balance as a treatment.

These studies have not only advanced our comprehension of channel architecture and working mechanisms but also afforded unprecedented clarity to the molecular basis for the binding and mechanism of action (MOA) of prototypical drugs and toxins. In this review, we will provide an overview of the recent advances in structural pharmacology of Na<sub>v</sub> channels, encompassing the structural map for ligand binding on Na<sub>v</sub> channels. These findings have established a vital groundwork for future drug development.</p>","PeriodicalId":72555,"journal":{"name":"Channels (Austin, Tex.)","volume":"18 1","pages":"2287832"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10732651/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138464760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
