Zhang, Xue-Qian, Jianliang Song, Lois L. Carl, Weixing Shi, Anwer Qureshi, Qiang Tian, and Joseph Y. Cheung. Effects of sprint training on contractility and [Ca2 ]i transients in adult rat myocytes. J Appl Physiol 93: 1310–1317, 2002. First published July 5, 2002; 10.1152/ japplphysiol.01071.2001.—The effects of 6–8 wk of highintensity sprint training (HIST) on rat myocyte contractility and intracellular Ca2 concentration ([Ca2 ]i) transients were investigated. Compared with sedentary (Sed) myocytes, HIST induced a modest (5%) but significant (P 0.0005) increase in cell length with no changes in cell width. In addition, the percentage of myosin heavy chain -isoenzyme increased significantly (P 0.02) from 0.566 0.077% in Sed rats to 0.871 0.006% in HIST rats. At all three (0.6, 1.8, and 5 mM) extracellular Ca2 concentrations ([Ca2 ]o) examined, maximal shortening amplitudes and maximal shortening velocities were significantly (P 0.0001) lower and half-times of relaxation were significantly (P 0.005) longer in HIST myocytes. HIST myocytes had significantly (P 0.0001) higher diastolic [Ca2 ]i levels. Compared with Sed myocytes, systolic [Ca2 ]i levels in HIST myocytes were higher at 0.6 mM [Ca2 ]o, similar at 1.8 mM [Ca2 ]o, and lower at 5 mM [Ca2 ]o. The amplitudes of [Ca2 ]i transients were significantly (P 0.0001) lower in HIST myocytes. Half-times of [Ca2 ]i transient decline, an estimate of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2 uptake activity, were not different between Sed and HIST myocytes. Compared with Sed hearts, Western blots demonstrated a significant (P 0.03) threefold decrease in Na /Ca2 exchanger, but SR Ca2 -ATPase and calsequestrin protein levels were unchanged in HIST hearts. We conclude that HIST effected diminished myocyte contractile function and [Ca2 ]i transient amplitudes under the conditions studied. We speculate that downregulation of Na /Ca2 exchanger may partly account for the decreased contractility in HIST myocytes.

Effects of sprint training on contractility and [Ca(2+)](i) transients in adult rat myocytes.

The effects of 6-8 wk of high-intensity sprint training (HIST) on rat myocyte contractility and intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) transients were investigated. Compared with sedentary (Sed) myocytes, HIST induced a modest (5%) but significant (P < 0.0005) increase in cell length with no changes in cell width. In addition, the percentage of myosin heavy chain alpha-isoenzyme incre...

Sprint training improves contractility in postinfarction rat myocytes: role of Na+/Ca2+ exchange.

Previous studies in adult myocytes isolated from rat hearts 3-9 wk after myocardial infarction (MI) demonstrated abnormal contractility and decreased Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1) activity. In addition, a program of high-intensity sprint training (HIST) instituted shortly after MI restored both contractility and NCX1 activity toward normal. The present study examined the hypotheses that reduced...

Effects of Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger downregulation on contractility and [Ca(2+)](i) transients in adult rat myocytes.

Postmyocardial infarction (MI) rat myocytes demonstrated depressed Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange (NCX1) activity, altered contractility, and intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) transients. We investigated whether NCX1 downregulation in normal myocytes resulted in contractility changes observed in MI myocytes. Myocytes infected with adenovirus expressing antisense (AS) oligonucleotides to N...

Serine 68 of phospholemman is critical in modulation of contractility, [Ca2+]i transients, and Na+/Ca2+ exchange in adult rat cardiac myocytes.

Overexpression of phospholemman (PLM) in normal adult rat cardiac myocytes altered contractile function and cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) homeostasis and inhibited Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX1). In addition, PLM coimmunoprecipitated and colocalized with NCX1 in cardiac myocyte lysates. In this study, we evaluated whether the cytoplasmic domain of PLM is crucial in mediating its effects on ...
