Abstract—Protein kinase C (PKC) is a key mediator of many diverse physiological and pathological responses. Although little is known about the specific in vivo roles of the various cardiac PKC isozymes, activation-induced translocation of PKC is believed to be the primary determinant of isozyme-specific functions. Recently, we have identified a catalytically inactive peptide translocation inhibitor ({epsilon}V1) and translocation activator ({psi}{epsilon}RACK [receptors for activated C kinase]) specifically targeting PKC{epsilon}. Using cardiomyocyte-specific transgenic expression of these peptides, we combined loss- and gain-of-function approaches to elucidate the in vivo consequences of myocardial PKC{epsilon} signaling. As expected for a PKC{epsilon} RACK binding peptide, confocal microscopy showed that {epsilon}V1 decorated cross-striated elements and intercalated disks of cardiac myocytes. Inhibition of cardiomyocyte PKC{epsilon} by {epsilon}V1 at lower expression levels upregulated {alpha}–skeletal actin gene expression, increased cardiomyocyte cell size, and modestly impaired left ventricular fractional shortening. At high expression levels, {epsilon}V1 caused a lethal dilated cardiomyopathy. In contrast, enhancement of PKC{epsilon} translocation with {psi}{epsilon}RACK resulted in selectively increased ß myosin heavy chain gene expression and normally functioning concentric ventricular remodeling with decreased cardiomyocyte size. These results identify for the first time a role for PKC{epsilon} signaling in normal postnatal maturational myocardial development and suggest the potential for PKC{epsilon} activators to stimulate "physiological" cardiomyocyte growth.
