Abnormalities of intracellular calcium handling are involved in the pathophysiology of essential hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy. In this study we report on the isolation, purification and calcium binding of a 33 kDa protein from human platelets and of a 38 kDa protein from cardiac tissue, both of which are identified as tropomyosin. The calcium binding properties of these human tropomyosin isoforms indicate a putative role for these proteins in the fine tuning of the cellular contraction. Elevated tropomyosin level is demonstrated in platelets from untreated essential hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (tropomyosin/actin: 45.1 +/-3.5, n = 12) relative to essential hypertensive patients without cardiac hypertrophy (tropomyosin/actin: 33.8 +/-2.3). These findings suggest an association between the enhanced expression of tropomyosin in platelets and the development of cardiac hypertrophy which may relate to the cellular calcium overload of this disease."xsd:string
