Figure 2. Effect of cTn (DD+PKCα) exchange on the Ca2+-sensitivity of force.

Figure 2

(A) The Ca2+-sensitivity derived from the midpoint of the force-pCa relationship (pCa50) increased upon exchange with cTn (DD+PKCα) compared to failing cardiomyocytes exchanged with cTn (DD). *P<0.05, cTn (DD) exchange vs. cTn (DD+PKCα) exchange in ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test. Time control denotes results obtained from cardiomyocytes kept in exchange buffer without cTn complex added. (B) Subsequent incubation of PKCα of the cardiomyocytes exchanged with cTn (DD+PKCα) significantly reduced Ca2+-sensitivity of force development. *P<0.05 cTn (DD+PKCα) vs. cTn (DD+PKCα) + PKCα in paired t-test.
