📝 英文原版摘要

Genetic cardiomyopathies consist of a heterogeneous group of myocardial disorders caused by variants that disrupt key regulators of cardiac structure and function. Variants in PLN, encoding phospholamban (PLN), the main inhibitor of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase 2a (SERCA2a), have been linked to both dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). Among these, the PLN Arg14del (R14del) variant is the most prevalent. PLN R14del cardiomyopathy is characterized by the accumulation of large perinuclear PLN protein aggregates in cardiomyocytes of end-stage heart failure tissue. However, the mechanisms driving aggregate formation and their role in disease progression remain unresolved. Using a humanized plna R14del zebrafish model and left ventricular tissue obtained from patients with end-stage cardiomyopathy carrying the PLN R14del variant, we demonstrate that previously described PLN aggregates represent accumulated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)-derived PLN-containing vesicles that form due to impaired SERCA2a activity and increased cytosolic Ca2+ levels. Furthermore, these SR-derived vesicles often localize adjacent to lysosomes. Interestingly, Ca2+ dysregulation in plna R14del hearts leads to reduced lysosomal function, resulting in SR-derived vesicle accumulation at the microtubule organizing center (MTOC). This perinuclear accumulation induces microtubule aster formation and subsequent cellular disorganization, including sarcomere misalignment and nuclear deformation. Strikingly, reactivation of lysosomal function through fasting reduces SR-derived vesicle accumulation, restores microtubule integrity, and rescues cellular organization in plna R14del zebrafish hearts. Together, these findings identify impaired lysosomal clearance of SR-
derived vesicles and the resulting microtubule disorganization as key pathological mechanisms driving PLN R14del cardiomyopathy. Additionally, our results highlight lysosomal reactivation as a promising potential therapeutic strategy to halt or reverse PLN R14del cardiomyopathy progression.
