| Abstract | We used confocal Ca2+ imaging and the patch-clamp technique to investigate the interplay between Ca2+ entries through L-type Ca2+ channels (LCCs) and reverse-mode Na+–Ca2+ exchange (NCX) in activating Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in cardiac myocytes from normal and failing rat hearts. In normal myocytes exposed to N(6),2′-O-dibutyryl adenosine-3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (db-cAMP, membrane-permeable form of cAMP), the bell-shaped voltage dependence of cytosolic Ca2+ transients was dramatically broadened due to activation of SR Ca2+ release at high membrane potentials (30–120 mV). This broadening of Ca2+-transient voltage dependence could be prevented by KB-R7943, an inhibitor of the reverse-mode NCX. Trans-sarcolemmal Ca2+ entries were measured fluorometrically in myocytes during depolarizing steps to high membrane potentials. The total Ca2+ entry (ΔF Tot) was separated into two Ca2+ entry components, LCC-mediated (ΔF LCC) and NCX-mediated (ΔF NCX), by exposing the cells to the specific inhibitors of LCCs and reverse-mode NCX, nifedipine and KB-R7943, respectively. In the absence of protein kinase A (PKA) stimulation the amplitude of the Ca2+-inflow signal (ΔF Tot) corresponded to the arithmetic sum of the amplitudes of the KB-R7943- and nifedipine-resistant components (ΔF Tot=ΔF LCC+ΔF NCX). PKA activation resulted in significant increases in ΔF Tot and ΔF LCC. Paradoxically, ΔF Tot became ∼threefold larger than the sum of the ΔF NCX and ΔF LCC components. In myocytes from failing hearts, stimulation of PKA failed to induce a shift in Ca2+ release voltage dependence toward more positive membrane potentials. Although the total and NCX-mediated Ca2+ entries were increased again, ΔF Tot did not significantly exceed the sum of ΔF LCC and ΔF NCX. We conclude that the LCC and NCX Ca2+-entry pathways interact synergistically to trigger SR Ca2+ release on depolarization to positive membrane potentials in PKA-stimulated cardiac muscle. In heart failure, this new form of Ca2+ release is diminished and may potentially account for the compromised contractile performance and reduced functional reserve in failing hearts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
