Patients affected with DCM face a notably higher risk of progressing to congestive heart failure compared to other populations. Myocardial hypertrophy, a clearly confirmed pathological change in DCM, plays an important role in the development of DCM, with abnormal Ca<sup>2+</sup> homeostasis serving as the key signal to induce myocardial hypertrophy. Therefore, investigating the mechanism of Ca<sup>2+</sup> transport is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of myocardial hypertrophy in T2DM.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The rats included in the experiment were divided into wild type (WT) group and T2DM group. The T2DM rat model was established by feeding the rats with high-fat and high-sugar diets for three months combined with low dose of streptozotocin (100mg/kg). Afterwards, primary rat cardiomyocytes were isolated and cultured, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was induced through high-glucose treatment. Subsequently, mechanistic investigations were carried out through transfection with si-STIM1 and oe-STIM1. Western blot (WB) was used to detect the expression of the STIM1, Orai1 and p-CaMKII. qRT-PCR was used to detect mRNA levels of myocardial hypertrophy marker proteins.

Meanwhile, through cell experiments, it was found that in high glucose (HG)-induced hypertrophic cardiomyocytes, the expression of STIM1, Orai1, and p-CaMKII was upregulated, along with increased levels of store-operated Ca<sup>2+</sup> entry (SOCE) and abnormal Ca<sup>2+</sup> homeostasis. However, when STIM1 was downregulated in HG-induced cardiomyocytes, SOCE levels decreased and p-CaMKII was downregulated, resulting in an improvement in myocardial hypertrophy. To further elucidate the mechanism of action involving SOCE and CaMKII in T2DM-induced myocardial hypertrophy, high-glucose cardiomyocytes were respectively treated with BTP2 (SOCE blocker) and KN-93 (CaMKII inhibitor), and the results showed that STIM1 can mediate SOCE, thereby affecting the phosphorylation level of CaMKII and improving cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>STIM1/Orai1-mediated SOCE regulates p-CaMKII levels, thereby inducing myocardial hypertrophy in T2DM.</p>","PeriodicalId":8228,"journal":{"name":"Annals of clinical and laboratory science","volume":"54 1","pages":"17-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140183583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
