Abstract In non-diabetic patients with severe disease, such as acute myocardial infarction or acute heart failure, admission blood glucose level is associated with their short-term and long-term mortality. We examined whether transient elevation of glucose affects contractile properties in non-diabetic hearts. Force, intracellular C ­ a2+ ­([Ca2+]i), and sarcomere length were measured in trabeculae from rat hearts. To assess contractile properties, maximum velocity of contraction (Max dF/dt) and minimum velocity of relaxation (Min dF/dt) were calculated. The ratio of phosphorylated troponin I (P-TnI) to troponin I (TnI) was measured. One hour after elevation of glucose from 150 to 400 mg/dL, developed force, Max dF/dt, and Min dF/dt were reduced without changes in [­ Ca2+]i transients at 2.5 Hz stimulation and 2.0 mM [­ Ca2+]o, while developed force and [­ Ca2+]i transients showed no changes at 0.5 Hz stimulation and 0.7 mM [­ Ca2+]o. In the presence of 1 μM KN-93, a C ­ a2+/calmodulindependent protein kinaseII (CaMKII) inhibitor, or 50 μM diazo-5-oxonorleucine, a l-glutamine-d-fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase inhibitor, the reduction of contractile properties after elevation of glucose was suppressed. Furthermore, 1 h after elevation of glucose to 400 mg/dL at 2.0 mM ­[Ca2+]o, the ratio of P-TnI to TnI was increased. These results suggest that in non-diabetic hearts under higher C ­ a2+-load, transient elevation of glucose for 1 h reduces contractile properties probably by activating CaMKII through O-GlcNAcylation. Thus, in the patients with severe disease, transient elevation of blood glucose, such as due to stress, may worsen cardiac function and thereby affect their mortality without known diabetes.

Introduction Admission blood glucose level is associated with increased in-hospital [1–3] and 30-day mortality [4, 5] in non-diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina. Also in non-diabetic patients with acute heart failure, admission glucose level is associated with higher in-hospital, 30-day, 60-day, and long-term (1.8 years) mortality [6–9], while in elderly patients with heart failure, it is not associated with 30-day and 1-year mortality [10]. In the patients with severe disease, transient increase in blood glucose occurs due to stress and has been called “stress hyperglycemia” [11]. It has not yet been determined in the past * Masahito Miura [email protected] 1
