    Abstract Cardiac mitochondria can take up Ca(2+), competing with Ca(2+) transporters like the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase. Rapid mitochondrial [Ca(2+)] transients have been reported to be synchronized with normal cytosolic [Ca(2+)](i) transients. However, most intra-mitochondrial free [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](mito)) measurements have been uncalibrated, and potentially contaminated by non-mitochondrial signals. Here we measured calibrated [Ca(2+)](mito) in single rat myocytes using the ratiometric Ca(2+) indicator fura-2 AM and plasmalemmal permeabilization by saponin (to eliminate cytosolic fura-2). The steady-state [Ca(2+)](mito) dependence on [Ca(2+)](i) (with 5 mM EGTA) was sigmoid with [Ca(2+)](mito)<[Ca(2+)](i) for [Ca(2+)](i) below 475 nM. With low [EGTA] (50 microM) and 150 nM [Ca(2+)](i) (+/-15 mM Na(+)) cyclical spontaneous SR Ca(2+) release occurred (5-15/min). Changes in [Ca(2+)](mito) during individual [Ca(2+)](i) transients were small ( approximately 2-10 nM/beat), but integrated gradually to steady-state. Inhibition SR Ca(2+) handling by thapsigargin, 2 mM tetracaine or 10 mM caffeine all stopped the progressive rise in [Ca(2+)](mito) and spontaneous Ca(2+) transients (confirming that SR Ca(2+) releases caused the [Ca(2+)](mito) rise). Confocal imaging of local [Ca(2+)](mito) (using rhod-2) showed that [Ca(2+)](mito) rose rapidly with a delay after SR Ca(2+) release (with amplitude up to 10 nM), but declined much more slowly than [Ca(2+)](i) (time constant 2.8+/-0.7 s vs. 0.19+/-0.06 s). Total Ca(2+) uptake for larger [Ca(2+)](mito) transients was approximately 0.5 micromol/L cytosol (assuming 100:1 mitochondrial Ca(2+) buffering), consistent with prior indirect estimates from [Ca(2+)](i) measurements, and corresponds to approximately 1% of the SR Ca(2+) uptake during a normal Ca(2+) transient. Thus small phasic [Ca(2+)](mito) transients and gradually integrating [Ca(2+)](mito) signals occur during repeating [Ca(2+)](i) transients.

    Abstract Ca(2+) release from cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via ryanodine receptors (RyRs) is regulated by dyadic cleft [Ca(2+)] and intra-SR free [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](SR)). Robust SR Ca(2+) release termination is important for stable excitation-contraction coupling, and partial [Ca(2+)](SR) depletion may contribute to release termination. Here, we investigated the regulation of SR Ca(2+) release termination of spontaneous local SR Ca(2+) release events (Ca(2+) sparks) by [Ca(2+)](SR), release flux, and intra-SR Ca(2+) diffusion. We simultaneously measured Ca(2+) sparks and Ca(2+) blinks (localized elementary [Ca(2+)](SR) depletions) in permeabilized ventricular cardiomyocytes over a wide range of SR Ca(2+) loads and release fluxes. Sparks terminated via a [Ca(2+)](SR)-dependent mechanism at a fixed [Ca(2+)](SR) depletion threshold independent of the initial [Ca(2+)](SR) and release flux. Ca(2+) blink recovery depended mainly on intra-SR Ca(2+) diffusion rather than SR Ca(2+) uptake. Therefore, the large variation in Ca(2+) blink recovery rates at different release sites occurred because of differences in the degree of release site interconnection within the SR network. When SR release flux was greatly reduced, long-lasting release events occurred from well-connected junctions. These junctions could sustain release because local SR Ca(2+) release and [Ca(2+)](SR) refilling reached a balance, preventing [Ca(2+)](SR) from depleting to the termination threshold. Prolonged release events eventually terminated at a steady [Ca(2+)](SR), indicative of a slower, [Ca(2+)](SR)-independent termination mechanism. These results demonstrate that there is high variability in local SR connectivity but that SR Ca(2+) release terminates at a fixed [Ca(2+)](SR) termination threshold. Thus, reliable SR Ca(2+) release termination depends on tight RyR regulation by [Ca(2+)](SR).

    Abstract Ca sparks are elementary Ca-release events from intracellular Ca stores that are observed in virtually all types of muscle. Typically, Ca sparks are measured in the line-scan mode with confocal laser-scanning microscopes, yielding two-dimensional images (distance vs. time). The manual analysis of these images is time consuming and prone to errors as well as investigator bias. Therefore, we developed SparkMaster, an automated analysis program that allows rapid and reliable spark analysis. The underlying analysis algorithm is adapted from the threshold-based standard method of spark analysis developed by Cheng et al. (Biophys J 76: 606-617, 1999) and is implemented here in the freely available image-processing software ImageJ. SparkMaster offers a graphical user interface through which all analysis parameters and output options are selected. The analysis includes general image parameters (number of detected sparks, spark frequency) and individual spark parameters (amplitude, full width at half-maximum amplitude, full duration at half-maximum amplitude, full width, full duration, time to peak, maximum steepness of spark upstroke, time constant of spark decay). We validated the algorithm using images with synthetic sparks embedded into backgrounds with different signal-to-noise ratios to determine an analysis criteria at which a high sensitivity is combined with a low frequency of false-positive detections. Finally, we applied SparkMaster to analyze experimental data of sparks measured in intact and permeabilized ventricular cardiomyocytes, permeabilized mammalian skeletal muscle, and intact smooth muscle cells. We found that SparkMaster provides a reliable, easy to use, and fast way of analyzing Ca sparks in a wide variety of experimental conditions.

    Abstract In cardiac myocytes, local sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca depletion during Ca sparks is believed to play an important role in the termination of SR Ca release. We tested whether decreasing the rate of SR Ca depletion by partially inhibiting SR Ca release channels (ryanodine receptors) delays Ca spark termination. In permeabilized cat ventricular myocytes, 0.7 mM tetracaine caused almost complete Ca spark inhibition followed by a recovery significantly below control level. The recovery was associated with increased SR Ca load and increased Ca spark duration. Additionally, SR Ca release events lasting several hundred milliseconds occurred consistently. These events had a significantly lower initial Ca release flux followed by a stable plateau, indicating delayed release termination and maintained SR Ca load. Increasing SR Ca load (without inhibiting SR Ca release rate) or decreasing SR Ca release rate (without increasing SR Ca load) both induced only a small increase in spark duration. These results show that the combination of decreased release flux and increased SR Ca load has synergistic effects and exerts major changes on the termination of Ca release events. Long-lasting Ca release events may originate from highly interconnected release junctions where Ca diffusion from neighboring sites partially compensates Ca depletion, thereby delaying SR Ca-dependent termination. Eventually, these events terminate by luminal Ca-independent mechanisms, such as inactivation, adaptation, or stochastic attrition.

    Abstract Cardiac alternans are thought to be a precursor to life-threatening arrhythmias. Previous studies suggested that alterations in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ content are either causative or not associated with myocyte Ca2+ alternans. However, those studies used indirect measures of SR Ca2+. Here we used direct continuous measurement of intra-SR free [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]SR) (using Fluo5N) during frequency-dependent Ca2+ alternans in rabbit ventricular myocytes. We tested the hypothesis that alternating [Ca2+]SR is required for Ca2+ alternans. Amplitudes of [Ca2+]SR depletions alternated in phase with cytosolic Ca2+ transients and contractions. Some cells showed clear alternation in diastolic [Ca2+]SR during alternans, with higher [Ca2+]SR before the larger SR Ca2+ releases. However, the extent of SR Ca2+ release during the small beats was smaller than expected for the modest decrease in [Ca2+]SR. In other cells, clear Ca2+ alternans was observed without alternations in diastolic [Ca2+]SR. Additionally, alternating cells were observed, in which diastolic [Ca2+]SR fluctuations occurred interspersed by depletions in which the amplitude was unrelated to the preceding diastolic [Ca2+]SR. In all forms of alternans, the SR Ca2+ release rate was higher during large depletions than during small depletions. Although [Ca2+]SR exerts major influence on SR Ca2+ release, alternations in [Ca2+](SR) are not required for Ca2+ alternans to occur. Rather, it seems likely that some other factor, such as ryanodine receptor availability after a prior beat (eg, recovery from inactivation), is of greater importance in initiating frequency-induced Ca2+ alternans. However, once such a weak SR Ca2+ release occurs, it can result in increased [Ca2+]SR and further enhance SR Ca2+ release at the next beat. In this way, diastolic [Ca2+]SR alternans can enhance frequency-induced Ca2+ alternans, even if they initiate by other means.

    Abstract Rationale: Intra-sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) free [Ca] ([Ca](SR)) provides the driving force for SR Ca release and is a key regulator of SR Ca release channel gating during normal SR Ca release or arrhythmogenic spontaneous Ca release events. However, little is known about [Ca](SR) spatiotemporal dynamics.
    Objective: To directly measure local [Ca](SR) with subsarcomeric spatiotemporal resolution during both normal global SR Ca release and spontaneous Ca sparks and to evaluate the quantitative implications of spatial [Ca](SR) gradients.
    Methods and results: Intact and permeabilized rabbit ventricular myocytes were subjected to direct simultaneous measurement of cytosolic [Ca] and [Ca](SR) and FRAP (fluorescence recovery after photobleach). We found no detectable [Ca](SR) gradients between SR release sites (junctional SR) and Ca uptake sites (free SR) during normal global Ca release, clear spatiotemporal [Ca](SR) gradients during isolated Ca blinks, faster intra-SR diffusion in the longitudinal versus transverse direction, 3- to 4-fold slower diffusion of fluorophores in the SR than in cytosol, and that intra-SR Ca diffusion varies locally, dependent on local SR connectivity. A computational model clarified why spatiotemporal gradients are more detectable in isolated local releases versus global releases and provides a quantitative framework for understanding intra-SR Ca diffusion.
    Conclusions: Intra-SR Ca diffusion is rapid, limiting spatial [Ca](SR) gradients during excitation-contraction coupling. Spatiotemporal [Ca](SR) gradients are apparent during Ca sparks, and these observations constrain models of dynamic Ca movement inside the SR. This has important implications for myocyte SR Ca handling, synchrony, and potentially arrhythmogenic spontaneous contraction.

    Abstract Rationale: FK506-binding proteins FKBP12.6 and FKBP12 are associated with cardiac ryanodine receptors (RyR2), and cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent phosphorylation of RyR2 was proposed to interrupt FKBP12.6-RyR2 association and activate RyR2. However, the function of FKBP12.6/12 and role of PKA phosphorylation in cardiac myocytes are controversial.
    Objective: To directly measure in situ binding of FKBP12.6/12 to RyR2 in ventricular myocytes, with simultaneous Ca sparks measurements as a RyR2 functional index.
    Methods and results: We used permeabilized rat and mouse ventricular myocytes, and fluorescently-labeled FKBP12.6/12. Both FKBP12.6 and FKBP12 concentrate at Z-lines, consistent with RyR2 and Ca spark initiation sites. However, only FKBP12.6 inhibits resting RyR2 activity. Assessment of fluorescent FKBP binding in myocyte revealed a high FKBP12.6-RyR2 affinity (K(d)=0.7+/-0.1 nmol/L) and much lower FKBP12-RyR2 affinity (K(d)=206+/-70 nmol/L). Fluorescence recovery after photobleach confirmed this K(d) difference and showed that it is mediated by k(off). RyR2 phosphorylation by PKA did not alter binding kinetics or affinity of FKBP12.6/12 for RyR2. Using quantitative immunoblots, we determined endogenous [FKBP12] in intact myocytes is approximately 1 micromol/L (similar to [RyR]), whereas [FKBP12.6] is <or=150 nmol/L.<br />Conclusions: Only 10% to 20% of endogenous myocyte RyR2s have FKBP12.6 associated, but virtually all myocyte FKBP12.6 is RyR2-bound (because of very high affinity). FKBP12.6 but not FKBP12 inhibits basal RyR2 activity. PKA-dependent RyR2 phosphorylation has no significant effect on binding of either FKBP12 or 12.6 to RyR2 in myocytes.

    Abstract Mechanisms underlying gender differences in cardiovascular disease are poorly understood. We found previously that, under hypercontractile conditions, female hearts exhibit significantly less ischemia/reperfusion injury than males. Here we show that male wild-type (WT) mouse hearts pretreated with 10 nmol/L isoproterenol before ischemia exhibited increased injury versus female hearts, but this relative protection in females was absent in eNOS(-/-) and nNOS(-/-) hearts. In isoproterenol-treated female versus male hearts, there was also more endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) associated with cardiomyocyte caveolin-3, and more neuronal NOS (nNOS) translocation to caveolin-3 during ischemia/reperfusion. S-nitrosothiol (SNO) formation was increased in isoproterenol-treated ischemic/reperfused hearts in all mouse genotypes, but only in WT mice was SNO content significantly higher in females than males. Using the biotin switch method, we identified the L-type Ca2+ channel alpha1 subunit as the predominant S-nitrosylated protein in membrane fractions, and following isoproterenol and ischemia/reperfusion male/female differences in SNO were seen only in WT hearts, but not in constitutive NOS(-/-) genotypes. The isoproterenol-induced increase in L-type Ca2+ current (ICa) was smaller in females versus in males, but NOS blockade increased ICa in females. This gender difference in ICa in isoproterenol-treated myocytes (and abolition on NOS inhibition) was mirrored exactly in Ca2+ transients and SR Ca2+ contents. In conclusion, these data suggest that eNOS and nNOS both play roles in the gender differences observed in ischemia/reperfusion injury under adrenergic stimulation, and also demonstrate increased S-nitrosylation of the L-type Ca2+ channels in female cardiomyocytes.

    Abstract Cardiac Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in heart has been implicated in Ca(2+) current (I(Ca)) facilitation, enhanced sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) release and frequency-dependent acceleration of relaxation (FDAR) via enhanced SR Ca(2+) uptake. However, questions remain about how CaMKII may work in these three processes. Here we tested the role of CaMKII in these processes using transgenic mice (SR-AIP) that express four concatenated repeats of the CaMKII inhibitory peptide AIP selectively in the SR membrane. Wild type mice (WT) and mice expressing AIP exclusively in the nucleus (NLS-AIP) served as controls. Increasing stimulation frequency produced typical FDAR in WT and NLS-AIP, but FDAR was markedly inhibited in SR-AIP. Quantitative analysis of cytosolic Ca(2+) removal during [Ca(2+)](i) decline revealed that FDAR is due to an increased apparent V(max) of SERCA. CaMKII-dependent RyR phosphorylation at Ser2815 and SR Ca(2+) leak was both decreased in SR-AIP vs. WT. This decrease in SR Ca(2+) leak may partly balance the reduced SERCA activity leading to relatively unaltered SR-Ca(2+) load in SR-AIP vs. WT myocytes. Surprisingly, CaMKII regulation of the L-type Ca(2+) channel (I(Ca) facilitation and recovery from inactivation) was abolished by the SR-targeted CaMKII inhibition in SR-AIP mice. Inhibition of CaMKII effects on I(Ca) and RyR function by the SR-localized AIP places physical constraints on the localization of these proteins at the junctional microdomain. Thus SR-targeted CaMKII inhibition can directly inhibit the activation of SR Ca(2+) uptake, SR Ca(2+) release and I(Ca) by CaMKII, effects which have all been implicated in triggered arrhythmias.
