As the average world-wide lifespan continues to increase, heart failure (HF) has
dramatically increased in incidence leading to the highest degree of mortality
and morbidity of any disease presently studied. G protein-coupled receptors
(GPCRs) play a prominent role in regulation of cardiovascular function. GPCRs are
effectively "turned off" by GPCR kinases (GRKs) in a process known as
"desensitization". GRKs 2 and 5 are highly expressed in the heart, and known to
be upregulated in HF. Over the last 20years, the role of GRK2 in HF has been
widely studied. However, until recently, the role of GRK5 in cardiac
pathophysiology had yet to be elucidated. In the present review, we will focus on
GRK5's role in the myocardium in normal physiology, and its apparent critical
role in the progression of HF. Further, we will also present potential
therapeutic strategies (i.e. small molecule inhibition, gene therapy) that may
have potential in combating the deleterious effects of GRK5 in HF.
