Luminal Ca Controls Termination and Refractory Behavior of Ca -Induced Ca Release in Cardiac Myocytes
Despite extensive research, the mechanisms responsible for the graded nature and early termination of Ca -induced Ca release (CICR) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in cardiac muscle remain poorly understood. Suggested mechanisms include cytosolic Ca -dependent inactivation/adaptation and luminal Ca -dependent deactivtion of the SR Ca release channels/ryanodine receptors (RyRs). To explore ...

متن کاملMeasuring local gradients of intramitochondrial [Ca(2+)] in cardiac myocytes during sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) release.
RATIONALE Mitochondrial [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](mito)) regulates mitochondrial energy production, provides transient Ca(2+) buffering under stress, and can be involved in cell death. Mitochondria are near the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in cardiac myocytes, and evidence for crosstalk exists. However, quantitative measurements of [Ca(2+)](mito) are limited, and spatial [Ca(2+)](mito) gradients have n...

First published February 2, 2007; doi:10.1152/ajpheart.01347.2006.—Alternans of cardiac repolarization is associated with arrhythmias and sudden death. At the cellular level, alternans involves beat-to-beat oscillat...
متن کاملSarcoplasmic reticulum Ca release in intact ventricular myocytes.
Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca release in intact ventricular myocytes is the major source of Ca which activates cardiac contraction (although Ca influx makes a non-negligible contribution in most species). The fundamental events of SR Ca release are known as Ca sparks. The twitch Ca transient is composed of approximately 10,000 Ca sparks occurring in a given cell, and they are synchronized by t...
