    Abstract In 1957 Abbott and Ballentine described a highly toxic activity from a dinoflagellate isolated from the English Channel. in 1949 by Mary Park. From a culture maintained at Plymouth Laboratory since 1950, we have been able to isolate two toxic molecules (Abbotoxin and 59-E-Chloro-Abbotoxin), determine the planar structures by analysis of HRMS and 1D and 2D NMR spectra and found them to be karlotoxin (KmTx) congeners. Both toxins kill larval zebrafish with symptoms identical to that described by Abbot and Ballantine for gobies (

    Abstract Rationale: Assessing the underlying ionic currents during a triggered action potential (AP) in intact perfused hearts offers the opportunity to link molecular mechanisms with pathophysiological problems in cardiovascular research. The developed loose patch photolysis technique can provide striking new insights into cardiac function at the whole heart level during health and disease.
    Objective: To measure transmembrane ionic currents during an AP to determine how and when surface Ca(2+) influx that triggers Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release occurs and how Ca(2+)-activated conductances can contribute to the genesis of AP phase 2.
    Methods and results: Loose patch photolysis allows the measurement of transmembrane ionic currents in intact hearts. During a triggered AP, a voltage-dependent Ca(2+) conductance was fractionally activated (dis-inhibited) by rapidly photo-degrading nifedipine, the Ca(2+) channel blocker. The ionic currents during a mouse ventricular AP showed a fast early component and a slower late component. Pharmacological studies established that the molecular basis underlying the early component was driven by an influx of Ca(2+) through the L-type channel, CaV 1.2. The late component was identified as an Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger current mediated by Ca(2+) released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
    Conclusions: The novel loose patch photolysis technique allowed the dissection of transmembrane ionic currents in the intact heart. We were able to determine that during an AP, L-type Ca(2+) current contributes to phase 1, whereas Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger contributes to phase 2. In addition, loose patch photolysis revealed that the influx of Ca(2+) through L-type Ca(2+) channels terminates because of voltage-dependent deactivation and not by Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation, as commonly believed.

    Abstract The action of ryanodol on single cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) channels in bilayers and local RyR2-mediated Ca(2+) release events (Ca(2+) sparks) in ventricular myocytes was defined. At the single-channel level, ryanodol intermittently modified single channels into a long-lived subconductance state with an average duration of 3.8 +/- 0.2 s. Unlike ryanodine, ryanodol did not change the open probability (Po) of unmodified channels, and high concentrations did not promote full-channel closure. Ryanodol action was Po dependent with the K (D) varying roughly from 20 to 80 muM as Po changed from approximately 0.2 to 1, respectively. Ryanodol preferentially bound during long channel openings. In intact and permeabilized rat myocytes, ryanodol evoked trains of sparks at active release sites resulting in a significant increase in overall spark frequency. Ryanodol did not increase the number of active release sites. Long-lived Ca(2+) release events were observed but infrequently, and ryanodol action was readily reversed upon drug washout. We propose that ryanodol modifies a few channels during a Ca(2+) spark. These modified channels mediate a sustained low-intensity Ca(2+) release that repeatedly triggers sparks at the same release site. We conclude that ryanodol is an easily generated reversible probe that can be effectively used to explore RyR2-mediated Ca(2+) release in cells.

    Abstract Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)R)-mediated Ca(2+) signaling is a major pathway regulating multiple cellular functions in excitable and non-excitable cells. Although InsP(3)-mediated Ca(2+) signaling has been extensively described, its influence on ventricular myocardium activity has not been addressed in contracting hearts at the whole-organ level. In this work, InsP(3)-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) signals were studied in intact hearts using laser scanning confocal microscopy and pulsed local-field fluorescence microscopy. Intracellular [InsP(3)] was rapidly increased by UV flash photolysis of membrane-permeant caged InsP(3). Our results indicate that the basal [Ca(2+)] increased after the flash photolysis of caged InsP(3) without affecting the action potential (AP)-induced Ca(2+) transients. The amplitude of the basal [Ca(2+)] elevation depended on the intracellular [InsP(3)] reached after the UV flash. Pretreatment with ryanodine failed to abolish the InsP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release (IICR), indicating that this response was not mediated by ryanodine receptors (RyR). Thapsigargin prevented Ca(2+) release from both RyR- and InsP(3)R-containing Ca(2+) stores, suggesting that these pools have similar Ca(2+) reuptake mechanisms. These results were reproduced in acutely isolated cells where photorelease of InsP(3) was able to induce changes in endothelial cells but not in AP-induced transients from cardiomyocytes. Taken together, these results suggest that IICR does not directly regulate cardiac excitation-contraction coupling. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of IICR in intact hearts. Consequently, our work provides a reference framework of the spatiotemporal attributes of the IICR under physiological conditions.
