Fine structural changes in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in myocardial ischemia, induced by occlusion of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery in the canine heart, were studied by the freeze-fracture technique in situ and in vitro and compared to the alterations in Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activity and sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis of the isolated SR. Both SR in situ and the isolated SR exhibited the typical intramembranous particles of 70-90 A in freeze-fracture replicas, and the numbers of particles were more numerous in the concave face (PF) than in the convex face (EF). The numbers of particles in the PF were 2748/micron 2 on the average. In ischemia for 1-2 hr, a significant decrease in the numbers of the particles was found in SR in situ, and corresponding changes were noted in the isolated SR. Decreases in Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activity and in the major protein band of ATPase were recognized simultaneously. The close correlation of the changing patterns between the reduction in Ca2+-ATPase and that in the intramembranous particle density during ischemia supports the suggestion that a large part of the intramembranous particles represents ATPase protein itself. The decrease in the particles of SR membrane indicates the degradation of ATPase in the process of ischemic myocardial necrosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008929 Mitochondria, Heart The mitochondria of the myocardium. Heart Mitochondria,Myocardial Mitochondria,Mitochondrion, Heart,Heart Mitochondrion,Mitochondria, Myocardial
D008933 Mitochondrial Swelling An increase in MITOCHONDRIAL VOLUME due to an influx of fluid; it occurs in hypotonic solutions due to osmotic pressure and in isotonic solutions as a result of altered permeability of the membranes of respiring mitochondria. Giant Mitochondria,Megamitochondria,Mitochondrial Hypertrophy,Giant Mitochondrias,Hypertrophy, Mitochondrial,Megamitochondrias,Mitochondria, Giant,Mitochondrial Hypertrophies,Swelling, Mitochondrial

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D002479 Inclusion Bodies A generic term for any circumscribed mass of foreign (e.g., lead or viruses) or metabolically inactive materials (e.g., ceroid or MALLORY BODIES), within the cytoplasm or nucleus of a cell. Inclusion bodies are in cells infected with certain filtrable viruses, observed especially in nerve, epithelial, or endothelial cells.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D005614 Freeze Fracturing Preparation for electron microscopy of minute replicas of exposed surfaces of the cell which have been ruptured in the frozen state. The specimen is frozen, then cleaved under high vacuum at the same temperature. The exposed surface is shadowed with carbon and platinum and coated with carbon to obtain a carbon replica. Fracturing, Freeze,Fracturings, Freeze,Freeze Fracturings
D000252 Calcium-Transporting ATPases Cation-transporting proteins that utilize the energy of ATP hydrolysis for the transport of CALCIUM. They differ from CALCIUM CHANNELS which allow calcium to pass through a membrane without the use of energy.
