Embodiment approach
[0187] The biological materials used in all examples, various cloning and expression plasmids, culture medium, enzymes, buffers, and various culture methods, protein extraction and purification methods, and other molecular biology manipulation methods are all those skilled in the art well known. For more details, please refer to "Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual" (Cold Spring Harbor, 1989) edited by Sambrook et al. and "Short Protocols in Molecular Biology" (Frederick M. ), 1998).
[0188] General Methods and Materials
[0189] 1.1 Animals
[0190] Animals were housed at the Laboratory Animal Center of Peking University, China (a laboratory animal facility certified by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care). Animals were randomly assigned to experimental groups. Only use male animals. In our study, no non-inclusion or exclusion parameters were used. Researchers were not blinded to treatment, but subjective assessments were not...
Embodiment 1
[0262] Example 1. Presence of CaMKII-δ9 in Human Heart
[0263] The present inventors performed single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing (Pacific Biosciences) on myocardial tissues of mice, rats, rhesus monkeys, and humans (Sharon, D. et al., Nature biotechnology 31, 1009-1014, doi: 10.1038 / nbt.2705(2013)) to detect the concentration of splice variants of CaMKII-δ. Library preparation, sequencing, and data collection for SMRT sequencing are described in Section 1.3 of General Methods and Materials. Quantification of CaMKII-δ splice variants was performed according to the method described in Section 1.7 of General Methods and Materials.
[0264] Surprisingly, the inventors found that the well-studied splice variant CaMKII-δ2 is extremely low in rhesus monkey (3.1%) and human (6.3%) hearts, although it is Cardiac CaMKII-δ accounted for 29% and 22.5% of the total transcripts, respectively. The previously reported but functionally overlooked CaMKII-δ9 became a very abunda...
Embodiment 2
[0267] Example 2. The up-regulation of CaMKII-δ9 is related to various heart diseases
[0268] To investigate the pathological relevance of CaMKII-δ9, the inventors first assessed its levels in several models of cardiac injury. To simulate hemodynamic pressure overload, the inventors performed transverse thoracic constriction (TAC) surgery on mice. The experimental methods, animals, and materials used in this example are described in sections 1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.15, 1.18, 1.19, 1.26, and 1.27 of General Methods and Materials.
[0269] After exposure to the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (Dox; 1 μM) or H 2 o 2 (200 μM) in NRVM under oxidative stress, the expression of CaMKII-δ9 was significantly increased ( figure 1 e, f). Compared with the sham group, the protein level of CaMKII-δ9 was significantly increased in TAC hearts ( figure 1 g). More importantly, in the myocardial tissue of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), CaMKII-δ9 was significantly elevated r...
