  abstract = {OBJECTIVE: Ca2+ release from the cardiac junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum
	(SR) is regulated by a complex of proteins, including the ryanodine
	receptor (RyR), calsequestrin (CSQ), junctin (JCN), and triadin 1
	(TRD). Moreover, triadin 1 appears to anchor calsequestrin to the
	ryanodine receptor. METHODS: To determine whether triadin 1 overexpression
	alters excitation-contraction coupling, we examined the effects of
	cardiac-specific overexpression of triadin 1 on SR Ca2+ handling
	and contractility in transgenic (TG) compared to wild-type (WT) mice.
	RESULTS: The overexpression of triadin 1 was associated with an enhanced
	SR Ca2+ load, reflected by a 22% higher amplitude of caffeine-induced
	Ca2+ transients. The decline of Ca2+ transients during caffeine exposure
	was prolonged by 57%. The detection of resting spontaneous SR Ca2+
	release events (Ca2+ sparks) revealed an increased amplitude (by
	16%), decline (by 47%), and width (by 47%) in TG. This was associated
	with a redistribution of Ca2+ spark amplitudes from one population
	to two populations. Measurement of cardiac function by echocardiography
	and left ventricular (LV) catheterization revealed a decreased cardiac
	contractility in vivo. The impaired response to beta-adrenergic receptor
	(beta-AR) stimulation in TG hearts was associated with an increased
	protein expression of beta-AR kinase 1. In addition, the increase
	of the L-type Ca2+ peak current and the increase of phospholamban
	(PLB) phosphorylation at Thr17 were reduced under beta-AR stimulation.
	CONCLUSION: Taken together, our data suggest that triadin 1 overexpression
	results in a complex modulation of SR Ca2+ handling, which may contribute,
	at least in part, to the depressed basal contractility and the blunted
	response to beta-adrenergic agonists in TG mice.},
