Changes in the calcium current of rat heart ventricular myocytes during development

Abstract
1. Calcium current (ICa) was recorded in single rat heart cells at two periods during development: (1) at 2-7 days post-partum (neonatal), and (2) at 6-8 weeks (adult). 2. We measured both transient and steady-state components of ICa and could describe ICa in terms of the steady-state activation (d infinity) and inactivation (f infinity) parameters, the channel reversal potential (Echannel) and a relative conductance parameter, gr. 3. In adult single cells, the application of ryanodine (10 microM), an agent known to alter the function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), abolished contraction rapidly and increased ICa. Ryanodine also produced a 13 mV shift in f infinity towards more positive potentials and altered its slope, while producing a small increase in gr but no effect on d infinity. In neonatal single cells, ryanodine (10 microM) had no significant effect on contraction, ICa, d infinity, f infinity, or gr. Caffeine (10 mM), a less specific agent widely used to investigate sarcoplasmic reticulum function, had actions similar to those of ryanodine. 4. In adult myocytes, when EGTA (10 or 20 mM) or bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA, 10 mM) were included in the pipette solution, contractions were rapidly abolished, while a small (4 mV) shift of f infinity to more positive potentials was seen. A large additional shift of f infinity was observed when ryanodine (10 microM) was added to the superfusion solution in the continued presence of EGTA or BAPTA. The alterations of ICa in EGTA (or BAPTA) plus ryanodine were the same as those seen in ryanodine alone. In neonatal cells, in contrast, when EGTA or BAPTA were included in the pipette solution we observed only a small effect on f infinity and the application of ryanodine had no effect. 5. Electron micrographs of our preparations show that the dissociated adult cells have sharp sarcolemmal borders, fully developed sarcomeres with T-tubules and sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. In contrast, the neonatal cells that we use have few of these intracellular structures. Our observations in these preparations are consistent with the work of others (e.g. Penefsky, 1974; Hirakow & Gotoh, 1975; Ishikawa & Yamada, 1975; Legato, 1975; Hoerter, Mazet & Vassort, 1981). 6. Our data suggest that fully developed sarcoplasmic reticulum in rat heart cells can affect ICa.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
