This study examined whether the effects of FK506-binding protein dissociation from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release channels on excitation-contraction (EC) coupling changed when SR Ca2+ reuptake and (or) the trans-sarcolemmal Ca2+ extrusion were altered. The steady-state twitch Ca2+ transient (CaT), cell shortening, post-rest caffeine-induced CaT, and Ca2+ sparks were measured in rat ventricular myocytes using laser-scanning confocal microscopy. In the normal condition, 50 µmol FK506/L significantly increased steady-state CaT, cell shortening, and post-rest caffeine-induced CaT. When the cells were solely perfused with thapsigargin, FK506 did not reduce any of the states, but when low [Ca2+]0 (0.1 mmol/L) was perfused additionally, FK506 reduced CaT and cell shortening, and accelerated the reduction of post-rest caffeine-induced CaT. FK506 significantly increased Ca2+ spark frequency in the normal condition, whereas it mainly prolonged duration of individual Ca2+ sparks under the combination of thapsigargin and low [Ca2+]0 perfusion. Modification of SR Ca2+ release by FK506 impaired EC coupling only when released Ca2+ could not be taken back into the SR and was readily extruded to the extracellular space. Our findings could partly explain the controversy regarding the contribution of FK506-binding protein dissociation to defective EC coupling.Key words: FK506, ryanodine receptor, sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, Na+/Ca2+ exchange, excitation-contraction coupling

The papillary muscle of the adult rabbit heart was studied by a modification of the Koelle-Friedenwald copper thiocholine technique for the localization of cholinesterase activity. Butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), identified by its substrate and inhibitor specificity, is found mainly in the terminal sacs of the sarcoplasmic reticulum adjacent to the T system. The localization of the reaction product in this particular site suggests that BuChE may play a role in excitation-contraction coupling in the adult rabbit heart. The present findings are also discussed in comparison with our previous work on the localization of acetylcholinesterase activity in the embryonic rabbit heart.
