Effect of different concentration of K+ in perfusion fluid ([K+]) (5.9 mM, 3.6 mM, 2.38 mM) and the heart temperatures of 20 degrees C and below on the rat heart rate in the Langendorf preparations, were examined in conditions of retrograde perfusion with a modified Krebs-Henseleit buffer at constant perfusion volume. The lowering of [K+] diminished the temperature/heart rate ratio and depressed the heart standstill temperature from 12.3 +/- 0.6 degrees C at [K+] 5.9 mM (n = 12) to 6.7 +/- 0.6 degrees C at [K+] 3.6 mM (n = 5) and to 2.24 +/- 0.40 degrees C at [K+] 2.38 mM (n = 5). Temperature of the cold heart standstill had the liner relationship to Ig[K+]. Change the perfusion fluid with 5.9 mM K+ after heart cold standstill by the perfusion fluid with 3.6 mM K+ restored the heart beats to the rate of 40-50 min-1 in some experiments. The second heart standstill was at the mean temperature 3.6 degrees C lower than the first one. 相似文献

We tested the hypothesis that the myocardial effects of verapamil (VER) could be enhanced by decreasing the extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]o) in the isolated rabbit heart at 37 degrees C. After perfusion with standard Krebs - bicarbonate solution containing 1.27 mM Ca2+, for a 30-min period of stabilization and 15 min of control, groups of hearts were perfused for an additional 60 min with solutions containing one of the following: 1.27 mM Ca2+ (control group), 0.23 mM Ca2+ (low [Ca2+]o group), 1.27 mM Ca2+ plus 10(-7) M VER (VER group), or 0.23 mM Ca2+ plus 10(-7) M VER (combination, CBN group). These concentrations of [Ca2+]o and VER produce submaximal responses in our preparation. We found that the heart rate - LV pressure product (RPP) in the CBN group fell rapidly to 0 in the first 2-3 min of perfusion, this response being significantly lower than in the other two groups for the first 15 min. Electromechanical dissociation (EMD) appeared in one of six hearts at 60 min and in four of six hearts at 30 min in the low [Ca2+]o and VER groups, respectively, whereas it occurred in the CBN group in all hearts at 3 min. Depolarization rate (DR) fell by 10% in the low [Ca2+]o and VER groups versus a reduction of 45% in the CBN group (P less than 0.05) during the last 45 min of perfusion. The PR interval increased by 300% in the CBN group, a much greater and significant change (P less than 0.05) than in the hearts exposed to VER or low [Ca2+]o.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

A possibility of restoration and stimulation of the rat isolated heart contractions in deep hypothermia by means of norepinephrine (6 microM) was studied. Following a complete arrest of the heart at a retrograde perfusion with the Krebs-Henseleit buffer ([K+] 5.9 mM), norepinephrine was found to restore the heart beats and to lower the heart arrest temperature from 8.2 +/- 0.5 degrees to 6.6 +/- 0.3 degrees. At the perfusion with the Krebs-Henseleit buffer, the heart rate dropped to below 10 min(-1) at 13.0 +/- 0.9 degrees. Reduction of [K+] to 2.95 mM intensified the heart rate. At a progressing cooling, the heart rate lower than 10 min(-1) occurred at 10.9 +/- 0.6 degrees. When adding norepinephrine (6 microM) to the perfusion fluid with [K+] 2.95 mM, the heart rate increased once again (on the average to 23.1 +/- 5.3 min(-1)) despite the fact that the heart temperature continued to be lowered. The heart rate lower than 10 min(-1) was reached at the progressing cooling to, on the average, 9.6 +/- 0.7 degrees. The findings show norepinephrine to exert a stimulating effect on the heart activity even at such low heart temperatures as 7-10 degrees with no preliminary warming of the heart. 相似文献

Changes in intracellular free calcium content ([Ca2+]i) in human erythrocytes treated with the cryoprotective medium based on low toxic polymer--polyethylene glycol 1500 (PEG-1500) and then transferred to physiologic salt solution containing 2 mM CaCl2 were studied using fluorescent calcium probe--fura-2. A method of [Ca2+]i calculation with allowance for haemolysis of the cells during the experiment was proposed. It was shown that ignorance of the cell haemolysis resulted in significantly higher [Ca2+]i values obtained. Significant time-dependent increase of [Ca2+]i in the cells treated with PEG-1500 cryoprotective medium at +4 degrees C as well as at +22 degrees C (without freezing) and then transferred in the 2 mM CaCl2 containing physiological salt solution at +37 degrees C was observed. Freezing-thawing of the cells treated with the PEG-1500 cryoprotective medium enhanced haemolysis and further accumulation of calcium in the cells. The results of the study prove that the use of PEG-1500-based cryoprotective medium which does not require washing for human erythrocytes will be accompanied by progressive destruction (haemolysis) of the cells in the blood vessels and may have some negative consequences connected with [Ca2+]i increase in the cryopreserved erythrocytes. 相似文献

Extracellular ATP has a potent effect to enhance cytosolic calcium and contractility in single ventricular myocytes 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

The effect of extracellular ATP on the contraction of single rat cardiac myocytes was investigated, together with the effect on the transient change in cytosolic Ca2+ (Cai) elicited by excitation and on the relationship between these two parameters. In unstimulated single myocytes, ATP caused a small increase in Cai (measured as the ratio of fluorescence of Indo-1 at 410 to that at 490 nm. In myocytes bathed in a medium containing 1.0 mM [Ca2+] at 23 degrees C and stimulated at 1 Hz, ATP (1 microM) resulted in a two-threefold increase in amplitude of contraction, as measured by video cinemicrographic techniques. The duration of the Cai-transient was not altered but its amplitude was markedly enhanced, as was the amplitude of contraction. The relation between Cai and contraction-amplitude was not altered by ATP, when measured over a range of extracellular [Ca2+], suggesting that ATP does not affect the myofilament-Ca2+ interaction. The primary site of action of ATP in increasing Cai is at the sarcolemma since the addition to suspensions of myocytes of caffeine (10 mM), which depletes the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ load, does not prevent the subsequent increase of Cai due to ATP. Further, lowering of the extracellular [Ca2+] to less than 1 microM with EGTA abolishes the response of Cai to ATP, though not the response to caffeine. Thus in rat cardiac myocytes ATP stimulates trans-sarcolemmal influx of Ca2+: ADP, AMP and adenosine are ineffective. ATP markedly augments the amplitude of the Cai transient elicited by electrical stimulation thus rendering it a potent inotropic agent. 相似文献

The effects of the methylxanthine, caffeine, on heat sensitization was investigated using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Caffeine sensitized CHO cells to heat killing by reducing both the shoulder and the slope of the 44 degrees C survival curve. Heating was performed in suspension by addition of cells to preheated spinner flasks containing caffeine. Changes in intracellular free calcium levels, [Ca2+]i, were measured at 37 degrees C using the luminescent probe aequorin. Caffeine (1-5 mM) induced a transient increase in [Ca2+]i at 37 degrees C. The transient increase in [Ca2+]i was reduced 15-fold when 5 mM caffeine was added to aequorin-loaded cells suspended in Ca(2+)-free Hanks' balanced salt solution. However, 5 mM caffeine sensitized the cells to the same extent when they were suspended in either Ca(2+)-containing or Ca(2+)-free Hanks' balanced salt solution. The mechanism of heat sensitization by caffeine is still unknown. 相似文献

Intracellular Mg2+ concentration ([Mg2+]i) was measured in rat ventricular myocytes with the fluorescent indicator furaptra (25 degrees C). After the myocytes were loaded with Mg2+, the initial rate of decrease in [Mg2+]i (initial Delta[Mg2+]i/Deltat) was estimated upon introduction of extracellular Na+, as an index of the rate of Na+-dependent Mg2+ efflux. The initial Delta[Mg2+]i/Deltat values with 140 mM [Na+]o were essentially unchanged by the addition of extracellular Ca2+ up to 1 mM (107.3+/-8.7% of the control value measured at 0 mM [Ca2+]o in the presence of 0.1 mM EGTA, n=5). Intracellular loading of a Ca2+ chelator, either BAPTA or dimethyl BAPTA, by incubation with its acetoxymethyl ester form (5 microM for 3.5 h) did not significantly change the initial Delta[Mg2+]i/Deltat: 115.2+/-7.5% (seven BAPTA-loaded cells) and 109.5+/-10.9% (four dimethyl BAPTA loaded cells) of the control values measured in the absence of an intracellular chelator. Extracellular and/or intracellular concentrations of K+ and Cl- were modified under constant [Na+]o (70 mM), [Ca2+]o (0 mM with 0.1 mM EGTA), and membrane potential (-13 mV with the amphotericin-B-perforated patch-clamp technique). None of the following conditions significantly changed the initial Delta[Mg2+]i/Deltat: 1), changes in [K+]o between 0 mM and 75 mM (65.6+/-5.0% (n=11) and 79.0+/-6.0% (n=8), respectively, of the control values measured at 140 mM [Na+]o without any modification of extracellular and intracellular K+ and Cl-); 2), intracellular perfusion with K+-free (Cs+-substituted) solution from the patch pipette in combination with removal of extracellular K+ (77.7+/-8.2%, n=8); and 3), extracellular and intracellular perfusion with K+-free and Cl--free solutions (71.6+/-5.1%, n=5). These results suggest that Mg2+ is transported in exchange with Na+, but not with Ca2+, K+, or Cl-, in cardiac myocytes. 相似文献

Genetically altered mice have become an increasingly important tool for the study of mechanisms of cardiac function, and therefore it is vital to characterize the basic contractile properties of the mouse heart. As a first approach to this goal, we first optimized perfusion conditions and characterized the effect of incremental left ventricular balloon inflation on end-diastolic, systolic and developed pressures in the isovolumically-contracting mouse heart. Under constant loading conditions, we determined developed pressure in response to changing perfusate calcium (1.25, 2.5, 3.75 and 5.0 mM) and perfusate temperature (30 and 37 degrees C). We then compared the intrinsic inotropic responsiveness to changes in extracellular calcium of left ventricular myocardium from mouse to that from the rat. In the baseline state (1.25 mM extracellular calcium; [Ca2+]o), both isometric contraction duration and normalized active force at the peak of the active force-length relationship (Lmax) were less in mouse than in rat myocardium. Under isotonic conditions, temporal parameters of shortening and the relative shortening were less in mouse vs rat myocardium. Increasing [Ca2+]o from 1.25 to 2.5 mM markedly increased active isometric force and rate of force development (+dF/dt) in the mouse. However, rat myocardium responded to a lesser extent. Under isotonic conditions, peak shortening and the rate of shortening also increased to a greater extent in mouse relative to rat myocardium. Increasing the bath calcium concentration to 5.0 mM increased isometric force and +dF/dt further in the rat but not the mouse, suggesting that two species operate at different points on the force vs [Ca2+]o relationship. We conclude that mouse myocardium exhibits increased sensitivity to changes in [Ca2+]o within the physiologic range in comparison to rat. These differences do not appear to be due to differences in loading conditions. The data suggest that differences in inotropic responsiveness to calcium may reflect intrinsic differences in myocardial calcium sensitivity between species. 相似文献

By incubating platelets at low temperature (10 degrees C), the relationship between Ca2+ mobilization and formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) in thrombin stimulated platelets could be precisely investigated. In the presence of 1 mM EGTA, time dependent changes in the intracellular free calcium concentration [( Ca2+]i) were closely related to those in IP3 formation. Time course of the influx of external Ca2+, estimated by delta [Ca2+]i obtained by subtracting [Ca2+]i in the presence of 1 mM EGTA from that in the presence of 1 mM CaCl2 was also very similar to that of IP3 formed. Furthermore, the increase in delta [Ca2+]i was extremely well correlated with the amount of IP3 formed (Y = 49X - 34, r = 0.99). Thus, these data indicate that IP3 might be involved not only in intracellular Ca2+ mobilization but in Ca2+ influx of human platelets stimulated by thrombin. 相似文献

Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange activity in synaptic plasma membranes derived from the electric organ of Torpedo ocellata. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Synaptic plasma membranes obtained by hypo-osmotic treatment of purified Torpedo ocellata synaptosomes, contain an electrogenic Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange system. The dependence of the initial reaction rate on [Ca2+] reveals a single binding site for Ca2+ with an average apparent Km of 13.66 (S.D. = 12.07) microM [Ca2+] and maximal reaction velocity of Vmax = 11.33 (S.D. = 5.93) nmol/mg protein per s. The dependence of the initial rate of the Na+ gradient dependent Ca2+ influx on the internal [Na+] exhibits a sigmoidal curve which reaches half-maximal reaction rate at 170.8 (S.D. = 19.9) mM [Na+]. Addition of ATP gamma S does not change the K0.5 to Na+. The average Hill coefficient is 3.09 (S.D. = 0.86) indicating that 3-4 Na+ ions are exchanged for each Ca2+. Na+ gradient dependent Ca2+ uptake in Torpedo SPMs takes place also in the absence of K+ suggesting that K+ co-transport is not obligatory. The temperature dependence of the initial and steady-state rates of Na+ gradient dependent Ca2+ influx reveal that maximal reaction velocities of the Torpedo exchanger are attained between 15 and 20 degrees C. The energy of activation between 0 and 20 degrees C is 20,826 cal/mol. In comparison, rat brain synaptic plasma membrane Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger reaches maximal reaction rates between 30 and 40 degrees C. Reconstitution of Torpedo or rat brain Na(+)-Ca2+ exchangers into a membrane composed of either Torpedo or brain phospholipids, does not alter the temperature dependence of the native Torpedo or rat brain Na(+)-Ca2+ exchangers; inspite of considerable differences in the composition of the fatty acyl chains that are esterified to brain and Torpedo phospholipid head groups and differences in membrane fluidity that were detected. An ATP-dependent Ca2+ pump, which is insensitive to FCCP, is also present in the same synaptic membrane. 相似文献

Effect of temperature on receptor-activated changes in [Ca2+]i and their determination using fluorescent probes 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Several recent studies of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i using fluorescent indicators have involved experiments performed at nonphysiological temperatures, frequently room temperature. In the studies reported here, a reduction in temperature was shown to influence the measurement of [Ca2+]i in two major ways. The first is an effect on the value for the Kd (apparent dissociation constant) used in the calculation of [Ca2+]i. The Kd values for indo-1 and fura-2 were found to change with temperature in a manner analogous to the related compounds [ethylene-bis(oxyethylenenitrilo)]tetraacetic acid and bis-(o-aminophenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid. Experiments showed that the use of previously published Kd values (measured at 37 degrees C) in experiments at room temperature results in errors of at least 25% in the calculated [Ca2+]i. The second arises from the differential temperature sensitivities of the physiological processes that make up any particular value of [Ca2+]i. While resting [Ca2+]i was relatively unaffected by reduced temperature (27 degrees C, 13 degrees C), changes in [Ca2+]i following stimulation were profoundly influenced and in a way that was not simply predictable. Analysis of the responses indicated that the observed effects resulted largely from a temperature-dependent reduction in the rate of Ca2+ removal from the cytosol together with an additional component, namely a marked reduction in Ca2+ entry, at the lower temperature (13 degrees C). The net result was observed as changes in the initial rise in [Ca2+]i on stimulation, together with more profound, and complex, effects on the sustained elevation in [Ca2+]i following stimulation. This latter component was markedly increased at 27 degrees C, but was decreased in cells at 13 degrees C. 相似文献

Recycling of transferrin receptors and heparan sulfate proteoglycans in a rat parathyroid cell line.
We examined recycling of heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans and transferrin receptor (Tf-R) in a rat parathyroid cell line. While extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]e) regulates the recycling of HS proteoglycans in parathyroid cells, such that HS proteoglycans only recycle when [Ca2+]e is lowered below physiological levels, recycling of Tf-R occurs equally well both in 0.05 mM (low) and 2 mM (high) [Ca2+]e. Inhibiting endocytosis chemically with phenylarsine oxide or at low temperature (4 degrees C) did not abolish the effects of changing [Ca2+]e on HS proteoglycans in the recycling compartment even though transport of HS proteoglycans from the Golgi complex to the cell surface was inhibited in low [Ca2+]e. Microtubules are not involved in the recycling of HS proteoglycans or of Tf-R since nocodazole did not affect these processes. Inhibiting the increase of intracellular Ca2+ by an intracellular Ca2+ chelator sustained recycling of HS proteoglycans even in the presence of high [Ca2+]e. These observations show that the exocytosis pathway of HS proteoglycans in the recycling compartment is specifically regulated by [Ca2+]e, whereas that for constitutive secretion is not. Therefore, the recycling of HS proteoglycans may be directly related to some functions of parathyroid cells regulated by [Ca2+]e. Although the mechanism by which [Ca2+]e regulates the exocytosis and recycling of HS proteoglycans is uncertain, it is suggested that an increase of intracellular Ca2+ is necessary, but not necessarily sufficient, for inhibiting their exocytosis. 相似文献

To elucidate the temperature dependence and underlying thermodynamic determinants of the elementary Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, we characterized Ca2+ sparks originating from ryanodine receptors (RyRs) in rat cardiomyocytes over a wide range of temperature. From 35 degrees C to 10 degrees C, the normalized fluo-3 fluorescence of Ca2+ sparks decreased monotonically, but the Delta[Ca2+]i were relatively unchanged due to increased resting [Ca2+]i. The time-to-peak of Ca2+ sparks, which represents the RyR Ca2+ release duration, was prolonged by 37% from 35 degrees C to 10 degrees C. An Arrhenius plot of the data identified a jump of apparent activation energy from 5.2 to 14.6 kJ/mol at 24.8 degrees C, which presumably reflects a transition of sarcoplasmic reticulum lipids. Thermodynamic analysis of the decay kinetics showed that active transport plays little role in early recovery but a significant role in late recovery of local Ca2+ concentration. These results provided a basis for quantitative interpretation of intracellular Ca2+ signaling under various thermal conditions. The relative temperature insensitivity above the transitional 25 degrees C led to the notion that Ca2+ sparks measured at a "warm room" temperature are basically acceptable in elucidating mammalian heart function. 相似文献

In rats, data on influence of i. v. administration of calcium chloride on the level of [Ca2+] in the blood and on process of oppression ofthermoregulatory and respiratory functions in rats in hypothermia. 0.18 or 0.135 mmol Ca2+ on the 3rd minute from beginning of the administration increased [Ca2+] in the blood from 1.01 +/- 0.03 to 2.56 +/- 0.08 mM (or 2.27 +/- 0.06 mM). Then [Ca2+] was reduced gradually, in 20 minutes from administration, solution of CaCh [Ca2+] exceeded the initial level by 20-30 %. The increase of concentration of ionized calcium in the rat blood strengthened the cold oppression of breathing and cold shivering as compared with the control (administration of physiological solution). Arrest of breathing in rats after administration of CaCl2 solution occurred at higher rectal temperatures (21 +/- 0.03 degrees C) as compared with control experiments (18 +/- 0.4 degrees C), p < 0.05. It is suggested that increase of [Ca2+] in the blood strengthens effects of cold in the form of oppression of thermoregulatory and respiratory functions. 相似文献

Temperature sensitivity of catecholamine secretion and ion fluxes in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells
The effects of temperature on ion fluxes and catecholamine secretion that are mediated by nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCCs), and voltage-sensitive sodium channels (VSSCs) were investigated using bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. When the chromaffin cells were stimulated with DMPP, a nicotinic cholinergic agonist, or 50 mM K+, the intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) elevation reached a peak and decreased more slowly at lower temperatures. The DMPP-induced responses were more sensitive to temperature changes compared to high K+-induced ones. In the measurement of intracellular sodium concentrations ([Na+]i), it was found that nicotinic stimulation required a longer time to attain the maximal level of [Na+]i at lower temperatures. In addition, the VSSCs-mediated [Na+]i increase evoked by veratridine was also reduced as the temperature decreased. The measurement of [3H]norepinephrine (NE) secretion showed that the secretion within the first 3 min evoked by DMPP or high K+ was greatest at 37 degrees C. However, at 25 degrees C, the secretion evoked by DMPP, but not that by the 50 mM K+, was greater after 10 min of stimulation. This data suggest that temperature differentially affects the activity of nAChRs, VSCCs, and VSSCs, resulting in differential [Na+]i and [Ca2+]i elevation, and in the [3H]NE secretion by adrenal chromaffin cells. 相似文献

Direct measurements of phosphorylation of the Ca2+ ATPase of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) have shown that the lifetime of the first phosphorylated intermediate in the Ca2+ transport cycle, E1 approximately P, increases with decreasing [Mg2+] (Dupont, Y. 1980. Eur. J. Biochem. 109:231-238). Previous x-ray diffraction work (Pascolini, D., and J.K. Blasie. 1988. Biophys. J. 54:669-678) under high [Mg2+] conditions (25 mM) indicated that changes in the profile structure of the SR membrane could be responsible for the low-temperature transient trapping of E1 approximately P that occurs at temperatures below 2-3 degrees C, the upper characteristic temperature th for lipid lateral phase separation in the membrane. We now present results of our study of the Ca2+ uptake kinetics and of the structure of the SR membrane at low [Mg2+] (less than or equal to 100 microM). Our results show a slowing in the kinetics of both phases of the Ca2+ uptake process and an increase in the duration of the plateau of the fast phase before the onset of the slow phase, indicating an increase in the lifetime (transient trapping) of E1 approximately P. Calcium uptake kinetics at low [Mg2+] and moderately low temperature (approximately 0 degree C) are similar to those observed at much lower temperatures (approximately -10 degrees C) at high [Mg2+]. The temperature-induced structural changes that we observed at low [Mg2+] are much more pronounced than those found to occur at higher [Mg2+]. Also, at the lower [Mg2+] the upper characteristic temperature th for lipid lateral phase separation was found to be higher, at approximately 8-10 degrees C. Our studies indicate that both temperature and [Mg2+] affect the structure and the functionality (as measured by changes in the kinetics of Ca2+ uptake) of the SR membrane. Membrane lipid phase behavior and changes in the Ca2+ ATPase profile structure seem to be related, and we have found that structural changes are responsible for the slowing of the kinetics of the fast phase of Ca2+ uptake, and could also mediate the effect that [Mg2+] has on E1 approximately P lifetime. 相似文献

To study the role of Ca2+ fluxes and [Ca2+]i in cell transformation by the v-src gene, ts-RSV LA 90 cells was used in this experiment. Ca2+ fluxes across the plasma membrane was measured with radioisotopes. The relative [Ca2+]i in LA 90 cells loaded Indo-1AM was measured by computer-based Optical Multichannel Analyzer connected with fluorescence microscopy. It was observed that changes in rate of Ca2+ fluxes across the plasma membrane are one of the earliest detectable changes of LA 90 cells transformation. Rates of Ca2+ fluxes in transformed LA 90 cells (40 degrees C) is higher than that in normal LA 90 cells (33 degrees C) and rates of Ca2+ fluxes increased in 25 minutes when LA 90 cells shifted from nonpermissive (40 degrees C) to permissive (33 degrees C) temperature. TMB-8 inhibited increases in rate of Ca2+ efflux induced by pp 60 v-src, and increase in rate of Ca2+ efflux in normal LA 90 cells was stimulated by calf serum. The rate of Ca2+ efflux was related to the changes in temperature. The increase in rate of Ca2+ influx induced by pp 60 v-src could be blocked by verapamil. The rate of Ca2+ influx was not affected by the changes in temperature. The increase in relative [Ca2+]i induced by pp 60 v-src is one of the early events in the transformation process. The level of [Ca2+]i in transformed LA 90 cells was about 2-3 times as much as that in normal LA 90 cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The aim of this work was to determine the relationship between peak twitch amplitude and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ content during changes of stimulation frequency in isolated canine ventricle, and to estimate the extent to which these changes were dependent upon sarcolemmal Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange. In physiological [Na+]o, increased stimulation frequency in the 0.2-2-Hz range resulted in a positive inotropic effect characterized by an increase in peak twitch amplitude and a decrease in the duration of contraction, measured as changes in isometric force development or unloaded cell shortening in intact muscle and isolated single cells, respectively. Action potentials recorded from single cells indicated that the inotropic effect was associated with a progressive decrease of action potential duration and a marked reduction in average time spent by the cell near the resting potential during the stimulus train. The frequency-dependent increase of peak twitch force was correlated with an increase of Ca2+ uptake into and release from the SR. This was estimated indirectly using the phasic contractile response to rapid (less than 1 s) lowering of perfusate temperature from 37 degrees C to 0-2 degrees C and changes of twitch amplitude resulting from perturbations in the pattern of electrical stimulation. Lowering [Na+]o from 140 to 70 mM resulted in an increase of contractile strength, which was accompanied by a similar increase of apparent SR Ca2+ content, both of which could be abolished by exposure to ryanodine (1 x 10(-8) M), caffeine (3 x 10(-3) M), or nifedipine (2 x 10(-6) M). Increased stimulation frequency in 70 mM [Na+]o resulted in a negative contractile staircase, characterized by a graded decrease of peak isometric force development or unloaded cell shortening. SR Ca2+ content estimated under identical conditions remained unaltered. Rate constants derived from mechanical restitution studies implied that the depressant effect of increased stimulation frequency in 70 mM [Na+]o was not a consequence of a decreased rate of refilling of a releasable pool of Ca2+ within the cell. These results demonstrate that frequency-dependent changes of contractile strength and intracellular Ca2+ loading in 140 mM [Na+]o require the presence of a functional sarcolemmal Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange process. The possibility that the negative staircase in 70 mM [Na+]o is related to inhibition of Ca(2+)-induced release of Ca2+ from the SR by various cellular mechanisms is discussed. 相似文献

Role of Ca(2+)-ATPase in spontaneous oscillations of cytosolic free Ca2+ in GH3 rat pituitary cells.
The relative contribution of voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels, Ca(2+)-ATPases, and Ca2+ release from intracellular stores to spontaneous oscillations in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) observed in secretory cells is not well characterized owing to a lack of specific inhibitors for a novel thapsigargin (Tg)-insensitive Ca(2+)-ATPase expressed in these cells. We show that spontaneous [Ca2+]i oscillations in GH3 cells were unaffected by Ca2+ depletion in inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-sensitive Ca2+ stores by the treatment of Tg, but could be initiated by application of caffeine. Moreover, we demonstrate for the first time that these spontaneous [Ca2+]i oscillations were highly temperature dependent. Decreasing the temperature from 22 to 17 degrees C resulted in an increase in the frequency, a reduction in the amplitude, and large inhibition of [Ca2+]i oscillations. Furthermore, the rate of ATP-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake into GH3-derived microsomes was greatly reduced at 17 degrees C. The effect of decreased temperatures on extracellular Ca2+ influx was minor because the frequency and amplitude of spontaneous action potentials, which activate L-type Ca2+ channels, was relatively unchanged at 17 degrees C. These results suggest that in GH3 secretory cells, Ca2+ influx via L-type Ca2+ channels initiates spontaneous [Ca2+]i oscillations, which are then maintained by the combined activity of Ca(2+)-ATPase and Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release from Tg/IP3-insensitive intracellular stores. 相似文献
