    Abstract

    Myocardial stretch physiologically activates NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) to increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Although physiological low‐level ROS are known to be important as signalling molecules, the role of stretch‐induced ROS in the intact myocardium remains unclear. To address this, we investigated the effects of stretch‐induced ROS on myocardial cellular contractility and calcium transients in C57BL/6J and NOX2<sup>−/−</sup> mice. Axial stretch was applied to the isolated cardiomyocytes using a pair of carbon fibres attached to both cell ends to evaluate stretch‐induced modulation in the time course of the contraction curve and calcium transient, as well as to evaluate maximum cellular elastance, an index of cellular contractility, which is obtained from the end‐systolic force–length relationship. In NOX2<sup>−/−</sup> mice, the peak calcium transient was not altered by stretch, as that in wild‐type mice, but the lack of stretch‐induced ROS delayed the rise of calcium transients and reduced contractility. Our mathematical modelling studies suggest that the augmented activation of ryanodine receptors by stretch‐induced ROS causes a rapid and large increase in the calcium release flux, resulting in a faster rise in the calcium transient. The slight increase in the magnitude of calcium transients is offset by a decrease in sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium content as a result of ROS‐induced calcium leakage, but the faster rise in calcium transients still maintains higher contractility. In conclusion, a physiological role of stretch‐induced ROS is to increase contractility to counteract a given preload, that is, it contributes to the Frank–Starling law of the heart.image

    Key points

    Myocardial stretch increases the production of reactive oxygen species by NADPH oxidase 2.

    We used NADPH oxidase 2 knockout mice to elucidate the physiological role of stretch‐induced reactive oxygen species in the heart.

    We showed that stretch‐induced reactive oxygen species modulate the rising phase of calcium transients and increase myocardial contractility.

    A mathematical model simulation study demonstrated that rapid activation of ryanodine receptors by reactive oxygen species is important for increased contractility.

    This response is advantageous for the myocardium, which must contract against a given preload.

    Abstract

    Baroreflex control of cardiac contraction (positive inotropy) through sympathetic nerve activation is important for cardiocirculatory homeostasis. Transient receptor potential canonical subfamily (TRPC) channels are responsible for α<sub>1</sub>-adrenoceptor (α<sub>1</sub>AR)-stimulated cation entry and their upregulation is associated with pathological cardiac remodeling. Whether TRPC channels participate in physiological pump functions remains unclear. We demonstrate that TRPC6-specific Zn<sup>2+</sup> influx potentiates β-adrenoceptor (βAR)-stimulated positive inotropy in rodent cardiomyocytes. Deletion of trpc6 impairs sympathetic nerve–activated positive inotropy but not chronotropy in mice. TRPC6-mediated Zn<sup>2+</sup> influx boosts α<sub>1</sub>AR-stimulated βAR/G<sub>s</sub>-dependent signaling in rat cardiomyocytes by inhibiting β-arrestin-mediated βAR internalization. Replacing two TRPC6-specific amino acids in the pore region with TRPC3 residues diminishes the α<sub>1</sub>AR-stimulated Zn<sup>2+</sup> influx and positive inotropic response. Pharmacological enhancement of TRPC6-mediated Zn<sup>2+</sup> influx prevents chronic heart failure progression in mice. Our data demonstrate that TRPC6-mediated Zn<sup>2+</sup> influx with α<sub>1</sub>AR stimulation enhances baroreflex-induced positive inotropy, which may be a new therapeutic strategy for chronic heart failure.

  • High hydrostatic pressure induces slow contraction in mouse cardiomyocytes. Reviewed International journal

    Cardiomyocytes are contractile cells that regulate heart contraction. Ca2+ flux via Ca2+ channels activates actomyosin interactions, leading to cardiomyocyte contraction, which is modulated by physical factors (e.g., stretch, shear stress, and hydrostatic pressure). We evaluated the mechanism triggering slow contractions using a high-pressure microscope to characterize changes in cell morphology and intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in mouse cardiomyocytes exposed to high hydrostatic pressures. We found that cardiomyocytes contracted slowly without an acute transient increase in [Ca2+]i, while a myosin ATPase inhibitor interrupted pressure-induced slow contractions. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy showed that, although the sarcomere length was shortened upon the application of 20 MPa, this pressure did not collapse cellular structures such as the sarcolemma and sarcomeres. Our results suggest that pressure-induced slow contractions in cardiomyocytes are driven by the activation of actomyosin interactions without an acute transient increase in [Ca2+]i.

    The application of mechanical stimuli to cells often induce increases in intracellular calcium, affecting the regulation of a variety of cell functions. Although the mechanism of mechanotransduction-induced calcium increases has not been fully resolved, the involvement of mechanosensitive ion channels in the plasma membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum has been reported. Here, we demonstrate that voltage-gated L-type calcium channels play a critical role in the mechanosensitive calcium response in H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes. The intracellular calcium level in H9c2 cells increased in a reproducible dose-dependent manner in response to uniaxial stretching. The stretch-activated calcium response (SICR) completely disappeared in calcium-free medium, whereas thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid, inhibitors of sarcoendoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase, partially reduced the SICR. These findings suggest that both calcium influx across the cell membrane and calcium release from the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum are involved in the SICR. Nifedipine, diltiazem, and verapamil, inhibitors of L-type calcium channels, reduced the SICR in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, small interfering RNA against the L-type calcium channel α1c subunit diminished the SICR dramatically. Nifedipine also diminished the mechanosensitivity of Langendorff-perfused rat heart. These results suggest that the SICR in H9c2 cardiomyocytes involves the activation of L-type calcium channels and subsequent calcium release from the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum.

  • Myocardial TRPC6 modulates stretch-induced increase in contractility via Zn<sup>2+</sup> mobilization.

    TRPC6 has been previously reported to be involved in cardiac mechanosensitive responses, e.g., the Anrep effect. However, its role in the Frank-Starling mechanism (FSM) remains unclear. This study investigated whether TRPC6 contributes to the stretch-induced increase in contractile force associated with the FSM. Here, we used isolated ventricular cardiomyocytes from wild-type (WT) and TRPC6<sup>−/−</sup> mice hearts. The cells were electrically stimulated at 4 Hz in normal Tyrode solution at 37 °C. Axial stretches were applied using the carbon fibre technique to generate the end-systolic force-length relation (ESFLR) curve. The slope of the ESFLR curve, an indicator of cellular contractility, was significantly steeper in TRPC6<sup>−/− </sup>mouse cardiomyocytes than in WT mouse cardiomyocytes. Transcriptome and real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that the genetic deletion of TRPC6 led to an increase in metallothionein 1 and 2, which is associated with intracellular Zn<sup>2+</sup> concentrations ([Zn<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub>), along with an increase in ZIP8, a zinc transporter. Subsequently, zinc imaging unveiled an elevation in [Zn<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub> in TRPC6<sup>−/−</sup> mouse cardiomyocytes. Interestingly, the addition of Zn<sup>2+</sup> to the normal Tyrode solution also prompted the contractility in WT mouse cardiomyocytes, while this augmentation was blocked by rac-3, a ZIP8 inhibitor. These results suggest that TRPC6 contributes to alterations in cardiac muscle contractility, associated with the FSM, by regulating [Zn<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub> via ZIP8.

    <p>When myocardium is held in a stretched position, its [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub> and twitch force slowly increase over several minutes (slow force response to stretch: SFR). We have reported that TRPC3, non-selective cation channel, contributes to the SFR. Although their intracellular localization is important for the cellular function, it still remains unclear. To predict the localization of TRPC3, we investigated the changes in [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>SR</sub> during SFR in single isolated mouse cardiomyocytes in combination with mathematical model simulation study. Fura-4F-loaded cells were electrically stimulated at 1 Hz. A pair of carbon fibers was attached to cell ends to apply axial stretch. [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>SR</sub> was estimated by the caffeine-induced changes in [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub> before and after stretch (300 s). The stretch significantly increased the [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>SR</sub>, while C36I-A, TRPC3 blocker, diminished the increase in [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>SR</sub>. The results were reproduced only by the model with sarcolemmal stretch-activated cation channels, suggesting TRPC3 channels are located on sarcolemma.</p>

    The heart is a mechanically functioning organ which consists of cardiomyocytes. Although it has been revealed that mechano-electric coupling plays an important role in cardiac physiology, it is difficult to investigate direct link between subcellular mechano-sensitive responses and tissue or organ functions in wet experiments. To integrate experimentally obtained findings in micro and macro study, we have developed a mathematical cardiac myocyte model based on Iribe-Kohl-Noble model. To describe mechano-sensitive properties, we implemented stretch activated channels (SACs), viscoelastic property of cytoskeleton or cytosolic structures, and shortening-rate dependency in troponin I (TnI) inactivation. Viscoelastic property in our model gave stretch-rate dependency in SACs activation, which reasonably reproduced mechanically induced ectopic beat after quick stretch and delayed increase in developed force after slow stretch. Shortening-rate dependent TnI inactivation reproduced afterload dependency in muscle mechanics previously reported. Our modeling study suggests advantages of computational biology in macro-micro integration in cardiac physiology.

    It is important to give a cardiomycyte mechanical load for developing cardiomyocite physiology study. Therefore a gripper which grasps an isolated cardiomyocyte is required. However at present, there is no device grasping the cell easily without electrical and magnetical noises. In our previous research,a pneumatic gripper which has a fluid chamber and composed of polymer materials has been developed. Gripper's drive properties were clarified by the last year. At a result,it was found that the gripper cannot maintain appropriate cardiomyocyte grasping because of creep phenomena. Therefore in this research,the gripper which is made in nylon material and have fluid chambers of the bellows structure is developed. As an experimental result,in comparison with the previous gripper,the quantity of creep is restrained from 107μm to 34μm. Namely the device can realize accurate positioning as the gripper for cadiomyocyte. Actually,the gripper grasps a small piece of the rubber which is a glass beads.

    本年度は、単離心筋細胞で観察される伸展誘発性ROS産生増加による筋小胞体カルシウムハンドリングの修飾がどのように心筋メカニクスに影響しているかを、野生型およびNOX2ノックアウト(KO)マウス心筋細胞の伸展誘発性カルシウムトランジェント変化、心筋細胞長さ張力関係による力学解析から検討した。
    その結果、心筋細胞の収縮性の指標となる収縮期末長さ張力関係の傾き(最大弾性率)は野生型に比べてNOX2KOマウスでは有意に低下していた。伸展によるカルシウムトランジェント波形は野生型のマウス心筋細胞では変化が無かったが、NOX2KOマウス心筋細胞においては細胞内カルシウム濃度の上昇率が最大に達するまでの時間が伸展によって有意に遅延することが明らかとなった。
    NOX2はリアノジン受容体を刺激することが知られているが、このカルシウムトランジェントの変化がNOX2による伸展誘発性ROS産生の有無によって説明ができるのか、また、この変化がNOX2KOマウス心筋の収縮性低下を説明できるのかをコンピュータシミュレーションによって検討した。心筋細胞数理モデルとしてIribe-Kohl-Nobleモデルを用いた。このリアノジン受容体モデルの活性化レートを上げ、同時にリアノジン受容体からのカルシウムリーク率を上げることでNOX2がリアノジン受容体に及ぼす影響を再現した。前者はカルシウムトランジェントの立ち上がりをやや早め、ピークを上昇させるが、後者はピークを減弱させる効果があり、結果としてピークは変わらず立ち上がりの早いトランジェント波形となった。また、前者は発生張力を増加させる効果があり、後者は発生張力をわずかに減少させる効果があるがその効果は弱く、結果的に収縮力は増加することとなり、細胞実験の結果を再現することができた。

    Reactive oxygen species (ROS) synthesized by NADPH oxidase (NOX) in vivo is a very important physiologically active substance. Although, myocardial stretch-induced ROS production via NOX2 modulates Ca2+ handling and cellular contractility, behavior of NOX4 is unknown. In the present study, we investigated the physiological and pathophysiological role of NOX4 in cardiac mechano-transduction.
    Ventricular cells isolated were subjected to 5-10% axial stretch with the cardiomyocyte stretch system, were measured ROS production, Ca2+ spark rate, mitochondrial membrane potential and cellular contractility. Cellular contractility and ROS production were significantly suppressed in NOX2 KO and NOX4 KO, but Ca2+ spark rate was suppressed only in NOX2 KO. The results suggest that role of NOX4 during stretch is different from that of NOX2. On the other hand, from the results of TAC model mice, there was an effect of NOX4 on overload, but details could not be clarified.

    Myocardial cellular function is different between endocardial and epicardial cells. It is not clear how ischemic condition affects this transmural heterogeneity. In the present study, we isolate the cells from epicardium and endocardium to compare the response of their mechanical properties to stretch. We found that ischemic condition reduces the transmural heterogeneity in the response to stretch. The present findings may provide new insight into pathophysiology of ischemic heart disease.

    We induced differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells into spontaneously beating cardiomyocytes. We elucidated that the cardiac differentiation is facilitated by cyclic stretch stimulus and co-culture with human fibroblasts. It is suggested that stretch stimulus to cardiac stem cells induces release of paracrine factors, thereby increase cardiac contractility. With regard to autotransplantation of cardiac stem cells in pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy, we conducted the TICAP-DCM phase I trial and performed surgery for three patients successfully.
    We also studied the effect of mechanical stimulus on gene expression of fertilized eggs in mice and found that the expression of genes related to embryo development and cell death was altered in response to mechanical stimulus. In addition, we successfully developed a high-quality silicone resin incubation chamber for human fertilized eggs. Furthermore, we found that hydrostatic pressure activates sperm activity.

    Chronic mechanical load to myocardium due to hypertension or cardiac valve diseases leads to the heart failure. Any substances that mediate such response look “evil”, though, they also have physiological roles. Therefore, it is important to understand their physiological and beneficial roles, otherwise any attempts aimed to eliminate such “evil” substances would have side effects by eliminating their physiologically required roles. In the present study, roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which has been regarded as an “evil” substance, in physiological and pathological response to myocardial mechanical load was studied, and its role in linking cardiac physiology and pathophysiology was demonstrated. The present results may be useful for the development in safe methods for the treatment and/or prevention of heart failure without side effects.

    心臓再生医療において、力学的・機械的刺激(メカニカルストレス)を用いた新しい技術を開発するために研究活動を行った。まず、心臓機能障害の動物モデルを作出するためにin vivoでECGを記録しつつラット冠状動脈左前下行枝(LAD)を結紮する実験を行った。組織学的解析の結果、LAD支配領域に心筋壊死による梗塞巣が形成されていることが確認された。計画段階において、心機能障害のモデルとして心筋梗塞モデルと右心不全モデルの作出を想定していたが、心筋梗塞モデルの作出は達成された。
    細胞培養による移植細胞の作出実験に関しては、3次元培養用の培養装置の開発を行い、これを用いた細胞培養を開始した。新生児ラットの単離心筋細胞およびラット心筋細胞株を用いた実験により、ゲルを足場にして細胞が3次元的に生育あるいは増殖することを確認した。この成果により、ずり応力およびストレッチによる機械的刺激を細胞に負荷する環境が確立された。
    またOxford大学客員教授のPeter Kohlを招聘し、メカニカルストレスによる心臓再生医療の開発に関しディスカッションを行った。さらにメカノバイオロジーの世界的な権威が集う国際学会International Symposium on Mechanobiology 2014に研究者を参加させ、関連研究領域の情報収集を行った。また3次元プリンタのワークショップにも研究者を参加させ、細胞培養用の培養器開発の実務的知見を取得させた。

    Calcium spark is diastolic spontaneous calcium releasing event from ryanodine receptors (RyR) on sarcoplasmic reticulum. We have previously reported that myocardial stretch increases calcium spark rate. It has been regarded that stretch-induced increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production from NADPH oxidase stimulates RyR to cause the phenomenon. However, the present study revealed that stretch-induced increase in ROS production is derived from mitochondria.

    The present study aimed at exploring novel pathogenic mechanisms underlying abnormal excitability and arrhythmic changes in stressed hearts. For this purpose, we focused on stress-responsive Ca2+/Na+ channel molecules transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins, and investigated their pathological significance by combining both experimental and theoretical approaches. The results clearly indicate that post-remodeling upregulation as well as small differences in PIP2 sensitivity among highly homologous isoforms and arrhythmic mutations could account for part of their notably different functionalities, leading to enhanced risk of arrhythmias and abnormal excitability. This integrative approaches of experiments and numerical model-based simulations may provide a useful framework to design/develop new anti-arrhythmic drugs targeting TRP channels and simultaneously facilitate our understanding about an otherwise elusive complexity of cardiac excitation/propagation and its disorders.

    Physical and mechanical stimuli such as gravity, extension, and shearing stress are generated throughout a living body. It has been gradually revealed that these stimuli, which are transmitted via the mechanotransduction mechanisms of cells, are not simply detrimental stresses for living organisms, but rather are biological information essential to developmental processes and functional adaptation of organs. In this project, on the basis of the development of original loading systems for mechanical stress to cells and tissues, the cellular adaptive responses to the mechanical stimuli and their transduction mechanisms in a variety of mechanosensitive tissues are to be examined. Thus, the project aims toelucidate the molecular mechanisms and roles of mechanotransduction system, which is utilized as a basis of many physiological events. It can also contribute to develop therapeutic approach to cancer invasion, cardiac hypertrophy, and regeneration of neuronal circuit.

    21年度前半は前年度後半に引き続き単離心筋細胞レベルの伸展実験と臓器レベルの機械電気相互作用としてトリ心臓における機械刺激誘発性不整脈実験をおこなった。これらの実験から伸展刺激誘発性不整脈に対するSAKCAチャネル(伸展感受性BKチャネル)や機械受容非選択的陽イオンチャネル(nSAC)などの関与が明らかとなったが、21年度後半はそれらの機械電気相互作用実験結果を心筋細胞数理モデルに統合するためのシミュレーション実験を行った。心筋細胞モデルとしては、Iribe-Kohl-Nobleモデルの電気生理・カルシウム動態モデルを用いた。伸展刺激によるnSACを介したナトリウム流入電流は背景ナトリウム電流のコンダクタンスを変化させることにより再現した。伸展刺激によるSAKCAチャネルを介したカリウム流出電流はMoczydlowskiらのBKチャネルモデルのコンダクタンスを変化させることにより再現した。機械刺激誘発性不整脈はnSACの活性化による脱分極によって誘発されるとされているが、このメカニズムは再現された。また、我々の実験結果に基づき、筋小胞体からのカルシウム放出を機械刺激に伴って増加させたところ、このメカニズムによっても不整脈が誘発されることが示唆された。背景K電流に伸展感受性を持たせた場合は機械刺激誘発性不整脈を抑制したが、我々の実験結果とは異なりSAKCA電流は機械刺激誘発性不整脈を抑制しなかった。現在の所、nSACの分子実態は不明でその数理モデルも確立されていない。背景電流のコンダクタンスを変化させるのみの単純なnSACモデルでは実験結果を完全には再現できなかったものと思われ、さらにnSACの電気生理的特徴を詳細に解明していく必要がある。

    In order to elucidate the in vivo mechanotransduction system, it is essential to conduct molecular cell physiological analysis targeting mechanosensitive channel molecules, as well as physiological assessment using knockout mice. In this study, we will examine whether or not hemodynamic loads such as hypertension can cause such dysfunction of the mechanosensitive channel, and explore the roles of the mechanosensor in relation to the formation of hypertrophy and progression of heart failure. The elucidation of the molecular pathway involved in the exacerbation of heart failure will enable us to sift through novel treatment target molecules and treatment research subjects in line with the actual clinical settings.

    Global dynamics of coronary circulation and cardiac contraction have been well documented in cardiology and circulatory physiology. Recently, transmural, i.e., from epicardial to endocardial heterogeneities have been getting more important for better understanding of the cardiac pathophysiology. Thus the objective of this study was to reveal the detailed transmural characteristics of the myocardial crossbridge dynamics and the coronary micro-circulation.
    Firstly, we found that the diastolic predominant flow pattern was common throughout myocardial layers. During systolic phase, significant systolic reverse flow was observed in subendocardial arterioles, whereas a remarkable forward flow was observed in subepicardial arterioles. Intramural pressure gradient and myocardial stiffness (elastance) cause these transmural dissociations in systolic flow direction. We also found the vessel size dependent coronary vascular regulation system, and spatial and temporal myocardial flow heterogeneity using the SPring-8, custom-made intravital CCD microscopes, and molecular isotope tracers.
    Secondly, we revealed the transmural difference of crossbridge dynamics using the SPring-8. During contraction phase, subepicardial and midcardial crossbridge dynamics were harmonized well each other and synchronized with the left ventricular pressure development. However the crossbridge of deeper myocardium decayed earlier than that of subepicardium during relaxation phase. Earlier relaxation in the myocardium in deeper regions seemed to be beneficial for diastolic blood inflow into deeper myocardium.
    We are now going to promote the "Physiome" as the quantitative and integrated description of the functional behavior of the physiological state. We believe that the present studies contribute to the cardiovascular physiome in the sense that it clarified the close coupling between coronary microcirculation and actin-myosin macromolecular dynamics.

    腎動脈の閉塞・開放による虚血再灌流モデルでは、管周囲および糸球体での微小循環を観察した。(Am J Physiol Renal Physiol.282(6):F1150-5,2002)両部位において閉塞前では血流は順行性であったが、虚血再灌流後では一過性の血流停止と逆行性血流を認めた。その後の経過では管周囲よりも糸球体の微小循環のほうが早く正常状態へ復帰した。これらの結果より腎皮質表面では虚血再灌流の早期から血管障害が生じており、管周囲の微小循環には糸球体周囲と比較し、より大きな影響があることが示された。
    糖尿病、高血圧モデルの実験では、それぞれstreptoyotocin投与ラット、自然発症高血圧ラットを使用した。(Am J Physiol Renal Physiol.281(3):F571-7,2001)輸入細動脈、輸出細動脈を同時に観察し、対照群に比べて自然発症高血圧ラットでは輸入細動脈径が縮小し、糖尿病では逆に拡大していることがわかった。カルシウム拮抗薬であるBarnidipineの投与では高血圧腎では輸入細動脈の拡張が著明で、糖尿病腎では輸出細動脈の拡張が優位に観察された。血管径比(輸入細動脈径/輸出細動脈径)はそれぞれ有意に増加・減少していた。
    本研究により、多様な病態における腎微小循環ダイナミクスの変化について評価することが出来た。これら一連の結果は糸球体病態生理の更なる理解に繋がると考える。

    原子間力顕微鏡をもちいて細胞の弾性率を求める研究はこれまでにも行われているが、動的な筋細胞とは異なる細胞種が対象であった。特に心筋細胞に対する解析は皆無に等しい。その原因は非常に繊細なセンサーである原子間力顕微鏡のカンチレバーの感度に対し、ダイナミックに動く心筋細胞の挙動がノイズとなり、シグナルノイズレシオ(S/N比)が非常に低くなることが原因であると思われる。我々のグループではこの問題を解決するため、心筋の筋長を制御する機構を組み込むことにより任意の筋長での等尺性収縮および制御された短縮様式で測定できる系を立ち上げている段階である。一方、筋細胞に対する原子間力顕微鏡を用いた弾性率変化の解析の妥当性を確認するため、心筋より静的な収縮弛緩をみせる血管平滑筋細胞を用いた測定を行っている。結果は我々の予想したとおり、血管収縮物質であるノルアドレナリンおよびアンジオテンシンIIで処理をした場合には平滑筋細胞の弾性率は増加し、血管弛緩物質であるプロスタサイクリン,NOの投与時には逆に弾性率の低下が確認できた(日本循環器学会、日本ME学会、2002)。したがって当初予定していた心筋細胞の心不全時における細胞骨格の変化は筋弛緩期の、収縮力低下などを引き起こす収縮蛋白の異常は収縮時の弾性率を測定することによりそれぞれ解析できるものと思われる。また、血管平滑筋に対する解析を発展させ肺高血圧症患者由来の平滑筋細胞を用いた解析を行い病態解明の一助としたい。

    Objectives
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of the conductance catheter (CC) method in measuring cross-sectional area (CSA) of small vessels like human coronary arteries.
    Methods
    Lumen CSA (A) of phantom tubes (2-10 mm in diameter) and excised canine arteries (n = 10, 2.3-4.5 mm in diameter) were measured with 3-F CC (Acc) and intravascular ultrasound (Aus). To investigate the influence of parallel conductance in accuracy of Ace, solution with various resistivities was applied to the surrounding of the arteries (n = 4).
    Results
    Acc showed an excellent agreement with phantom model CSA. In the excised arteries, Acc and Aus highly correlated (R2 = 0.906) with each other. When the resistivities of the solution surrounding the vessels was changed, Acc-Aus regression lines were similar regardless of different resistivities.
    Conclusions
    The conductance method is feasible to measure CSA of small vessels like human coronary arteries.

    正常心筋では筋小胞体でハンドリングされるカルシウムは一心拍の間に一度だけ細胞内に放出され汲み上げられるが、不全心筋の筋小胞体カルシウム放出チャンネルには漏れが生じており、一度汲み上げられたカルシウムの一部は漏出し、収縮に関与することなく同一心拍中に再度筋小胞体に汲み上げられる。この無駄サイクルをリアノジン投与による不全心モデルで検討した。これまで我々は、定常収縮中に期外収縮を人工的に挿入し、期外収縮後の収縮性増強の指数関数減衰時定数から細胞内カルシウム再循環率を算出する方法を報告した。本研究で、この時定数はリアノジン投与モデルでは減少することがわかった。これはリアノジン投与で再循環率が低下することを示している。さらにカルシウムハンドリングの経済性と再循環率の関係と、カルシウム量に対する収縮性への反応性から、収縮に関与したカルシウムに対する無駄サイクルの割合を求めることができた。リアノジン投与にて収縮性は低下するが、カルシウムハンドリングに消費される酸素量の減少は軽度であった。これは再循環率が低下、つまりエネルギー効率のよい再循環経路の割合が低下したことと、無駄サイクルが増えるためであると考えられる。本研究による結果でもこれを裏付ける結果を得ることができた。リアノジン投与前後で得られた収縮関与カルシウム量も生理学的条件下に心筋細胞内でハンドリングされるカルシウム量として過去に報告されてきた値と同様の範囲であった。これまでの研究成果により統合生理学的分析法による心臓内無駄サイクルの推定法が妥当であることが示されている。

    We have found that postextrasystolic potentiation decays in transient alternans in the canine left ventricle (LV). We used for the curve fitting the following equation : y = a・exp[-(x-1)/κィイD2eィエD2] + b・exp[-(x-1)/κィイD2eィエD2]cos[(x-1)] +1, where x = beat number and y = normalized contractility (Emax) of the postextrasystolic beats. Internal CaィイD12+ィエD1 recirculation (RF) was obtained from τe, according to the definition : RF = exp(-1/κィイD2eィエD2). We combined RF the mechanoenergetic data and the two-fold difference of the stoichiometry between the SR CaィイD12+ィエD1 pump and the transsarcolemmal extrusion route.
    Using this framework, we investigated the effects of intracoronary CaィイD12+ィエD1 and epinephrine (EP) and found that CaィイD12+ィエD1 increased RF but EP did not. We obtained 40-110 micromol/kg as the total amount of CaィイD12+ィエD1 handled per beat in control and enhanced contractile state.
    To evaluate myocardial CaィイD12+ィエD1 handling hearts, we hypothesized that OィイD22ィエD2 wasting of CaィイD12+ィエD1 handling in the E-C coupling could be reflected by a decreased RF in ryanodine-treated hearts. intracoronary ryanodine halved LV Emax without decreasing myocardial OィイD22ィエD2 consumption for the E-C coupling. We speculated this mehcanoenergetics to manifest energy wasting of CaィイD12+ィエD1 handling due to ryanodine-induced CaィイD12+ィエD1 leakage from the SR (futile cycle). Ryanorine decreased RF from 0.6 to 0.5 on average and the futile cycle was 1.4 times the effective cycle of CaィイD12+ィエD1 handled via the SR.
    Stunning also halved LV Emax and doubled OィイD22ィエD2 cost of Emax. We found stunning decreased RF from 0.63 to 0.43 on average and caused a considerable shift of the relation between futile cycle and CaィイD12+ィエD1 reactivity in an energy-wasteful direction. These results reasonably accounted for the doubled OィイD22ィエD2 cost of Emax in stunning. Thus, we have validated the usefulness of our integrative analysis method to evaluate myocardial CaィイD12+ィエD1 handling in beating whole hearts. (297 words)

    We have developed an organ-level systems approach to quantify total CaィイD12+ィエD1 handling in normal hearts. However, its direct application to failing hearts, where futile CaィイD12+ィエD1 cycling via the CaィイD12+ィエD1-leaky sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) required an increased CaィイD12+ィエD1 handling VoィイD22ィエD2, was not legitimate. To quantify total CaィイD12+ィエD1 handling even in such failing hearts, we calculated internal CaィイD12+ィエD1 recirculation fraction (RF) from the exponential decay component of postextrasystolic potentiation (PESP) and combined the RF with the halved left ventricular (LV) contractility (Emax) and its OィイD22ィエD2 cost.
    We applied this new integrative method to three kinds of failing hearts.
    1. Failing hearts after intracoronary ryanodine at nanomolar concentrations halved Emax without significantly decreasing CaィイD12+ィエD1 handling VoィイD22ィエD2. We found that ryanodine significantly decreased RF from 0.6 to 0.5 on the average. We also found that futile CaィイD12+ィエD1 cycling via the SR increased to >1 cycle/beat after ryanodine from presumably zero before ryanodine.
    2. We analyzed total CaィイD12+ィエD1 handling of the LV in the mildly failing heart preparation induced by a temporary intracoronary CaィイD12+ィエD1 overloading intervention. This intervention decreased Emax by 40% and CaィイD12+ィエD1 handling VoィイD22ィエD2 by 30% without increasing the OィイD22ィエD2 cost of Emax. We found that these failing hearts had a slightly but significantly increased RF accompanied by either a slightly increased futile CaィイD12+ィエD1 cycling or a slightly decreased CaィイD12+ィエD1 reactivity of Emax, or both. Any of these three possible changes can account for the unchanged OィイD22ィエD2 cost of Emax.
    3. Postischemic myocardial stunning halved Emax and doubled OィイD22ィエD2 cost of Emax. Stunning decreased RF from 0.63 to 0.43 on the average. We found a decreased total CaィイD12+ィエD1 transport and a considerable shift of the relation between futile CaィイD12+ィエD1 cycling and CaィイD12+ィエD1 reactivity in an energy-wasteful direction in the stunned heart.
