In mammalian ventricular myocytes, inactivation of L-type Ca2+ channels (CaCh) is controlled by voltage- and Ca2+-dependent mechanisms. The Ca2+-dependent component is regulated by the Ca2+ released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). However, little is known about the inactivation properties of CaCh in atrial myocytes, which lack spatial coupling between CaCh and SR Ca2+ release channels. The cardiac SR Ca2+ load is determined by the activity of SR Ca2+-ATPase, which is inversely regulated by the levels of phospholamban (PLB). To investigate the role of SR Ca2+ in atrial myocytes, Ca2+ currents (I Ca) were recorded in mouse atrial myocytes recorded from wild-type (WT) mice and the characteristics were compared to those obtained from atrial myocytes from the transgenic mice overexpressing PLB (PLB-OEX). ICa from WT exhibited fast and slow components of inactivation and the rate of inactivation was slowed when SR Ca2+ was depleted by caffeine, suggesting that the inactivation of atrial ICa is modulated by SR Ca2+ load. The current density and voltage-dependence of ICa were similar between the two groups. However, the fast component of inactivation was significantly reduced in PLB-OEX. When Ca2+ was replaced by Ba2+ or in the presence of caffeine, inactivation was slowed and the decay of the current was not significantly different between WT and PLB-OEX. These results suggest that the inactivation of ICa in mouse atrial myocytes involves Ca2+-dependent and voltage-dependent components. The decrease in the faster component of inactivation in PLB-OEX is consistent with the idea that CaCh and SR Ca2+ release channels are functionally coupled and Ca2+ released from the SR contributes the Ca2+-dependent inactivation component.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).
