Background The objectives were to determine the extent and mechanism of action by which propofol increases myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity and intracellular pH (pHi) in ventricular myocytes. Methods Freshly isolated adult rat ventricular myocytes were used for the study. Cardiac myofibrils were extracted for assessment of myofibrillar actomyosin adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity. Myocyte shortening (video edge detection) and pHi (2',7'-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6')-carboxyfluorescein, 500/440 ratio) were monitored simultaneously in individual cells field-stimulated (0.3 Hz) and superfused with HEPES-buffered solution (pH 7.4, 30 degrees C). Results Propofol (100 microM) reduced the Ca2+ concentration required for activation of myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase from pCa 5.7 +/- 0.01 to 6.6 +/- 0.01. Increasing pHi (7.05 +/- 0.03 to 7.39 +/- 0.04) with NH4Cl increased myocyte shortening by 35 +/- 12%. Washout of NH4Cl decreased pHi to 6.82 +/- 0.03 and decreased myocyte shortening to 52 +/- 10% of control. Propofol caused a dose-dependent increase in pHi but reduced myocyte shortening. The propofol-induced increase in pHi was attenuated, whereas the decrease in myocyte shortening was enhanced after pretreatment with ethylisopropyl amiloride, a Na+-H+ exchange inhibitor, or bisindolylmaleimide I, a protein kinase C inhibitor. Propofol also attenuated the NH4Cl-induced intracellular acidosis, increased the rate of recovery from acidosis, and attenuated the associated decrease in myocyte shortening. Propofol caused a leftward shift in the extracellular Ca2+-shortening relation, and this effect was attenuated by ethylisopropyl amiloride. Conclusions These results suggest that propofol increases the sensitivity of myofibrillar actomyosin ATPase to Ca2+ (ie., increases myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity), at least in part by increasing pHi via protein kinase C-dependent activation of Na+-H+ exchange.

The present study examines the effect of 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (DiC8), a diacylglycerol analogue, on L-type Ca2+ current (ICa,L) in adult rat ventricular myocytes using whole cell patch-clamp techniques. Extracellular application of DiC8 (1-10 microM) resulted in a concentration-dependent inhibition of peak ICa,L (half-maximum inhibitory concentration = 2.2 microM). Results obtained from the current-voltage relationship showed that DiC8 decreased the slope conductance. In addition, DiC8 increased the rate of Ba2+ current inactivation and caused a hyperpolarizing shift in the steady-state inactivation by 6 mV and a decrease in the slope factor. The DiC8-induced inhibition of ICa,L was neither mimicked by activation of protein kinase C (PKC) with 100 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) no prevented by inhibition of PKC with 30 microM H-7, 100 nM staurosporine, or 24-h pretreatment with PMA. These results suggest that in rat ventricular myocytes 1) 1,2-sn-diacylglycerol (DAG) inhibits ICa,L, possibly by facilitating channel inactivation and decreasing channel availability and 2) this inhibitory effect of DAG is independent of PKC activation.

We hypothesized that thromboxane A2 (TxA2) receptor stimulation directly induces apoptosis in adult cardiac myocytes. To investigate this, we exposed cultured adult rat ventricular myocytes (ARVM) to a TxA2 mimetic [1S-[1α,2α(Z),3β(1E,3S*),4α]]-7-[3-[3-hydroxy-4-(4-iodophenoxy)-1-butenyl]-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl]-5-heptenoic acid (I-BOP) for 24 h. Stimulation with I-BOP induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner and was completely prevented by a TxA2 receptor antagonist, SQ-29548. We further investigated the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in this process. TxA2 stimulation resulted in membrane translocation of PKC-ζ but not PKC-α, -βII, -δ, and -ε at 3 min and 1 h. The activation of PKC-ζ by I-BOP was confirmed using an immune complex kinase assay. Treatment of ARVM with a cell-permeable PKC-ζ pseudosubstrate peptide (ζ-PS) significantly attenuated apoptosis by I-BOP. In addition, I-BOP treatment decreased baseline Akt activity and its decrease was reversed by treatment with ζ-PS. The inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase upstream of Akt by wortmannin or LY-294002 abolished the antiapoptotic effect of ζ-PS. Therefore, our results suggest that the activation of PKC-ζ modulates TxA2 receptor-mediated apoptosis at least, in part, through Akt activity in adult cardiac myocytes.

Modulation of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) by inotropic stimuli alters contractility in cardiac muscle. Arachidonic acid (AA), a precursor for eicosanoid formation, is released in response to receptor activation and myocardial ischemia and has been demonstrated to alter K+ and Ca2+ channel activity. We investigated the effects of AA on contractility by simultaneously measuring [Ca2+]i and shortening in single field-stimulated rat ventricular myocytes. [Ca2+]i transients were measured using fura 2, and myocyte shortening was assessed using video edge detection. AA stimulated a doubling in the amplitude of the [Ca2+]i transient and a twofold increase in myocyte shortening. In addition, AA stimulated a 30% increase in the time to 50% diastolic [Ca2+]i and a 35% increase in the time to 50% relengthening. These effects of AA were mediated by AA itself (56 +/- 5%) and by cyclooxygenase metabolites. Pretreatment with the protein kinase C inhibitors staurosporine and chelerythrine nearly abolished (> 90% inhibition) these AA-induced effects. Inhibition of voltagegated K+ channels with 4-aminopyridine mimicked the effects of AA. Addition of AA to the 4-aminopyridine-treated myocyte had no additional effect on parameters of contractile function. These data indicate that AA alters the amplitude and duration of Ca2- transients and myocyte shortening via protein kinase C-dependent inhibition of voltage-gated K+ channels. Release of AA by phospholipases in response to receptor activation by endogenous mediators or pathological stimuli may be involved in mediating inotropic responses in cardiac muscle.
