RESUMO

The central paradox of cardiac excitation-contraction coupling is that Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release (CICR), an inherently self-regenerating process, is finely graded by surface membrane Ca2+ current (ICa). By using FPL64176, a novel Ca2+ channel agonist that reduces inactivation of ICa, a rapid negative control mechanism was unmasked at the Ca2+ release level in isolated rat ventricular myocytes. This mechanism terminates CICR independently of the duration of trigger ICa and before the sarcoplasmic reticulum becomes depleted of Ca2+. In its ability to be reactivated by incremental increases in trigger ICa, this mechanism differs from conventional inactivation/desensitization and is similar to the mechanism of increment detection or adaptation described for intracellular Ca2+ release channels. These results indicate that ryanodine receptor adaptation regulates Ca2+ release in cardiac muscle, accounting for or contributing to the graded nature of CICR and, additionally, permitting stores to reload at later times during Ca2+ entry.
