Abstract:
:Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium handling in diaphragm was compared between mdx mice (7-8 weeks old) and age-matched controls. The total SR Ca2+ load was released from the SR by rapidly cooling muscle bundles from 22 to -1 degree C. The plateau amplitude of the rapid cooling contracture (RCC) was considered as an index of the SR Ca2+ content. The steady-state RCC amplitude was significantly lower by 50% in mdx bundles mainly because of a decreased capacity of the dystrophic diaphragm to generate maximal tension. There was no significant difference between either RCC time to peak or the time to half-relaxation of the transient, spike-like, contractile response induced by muscle rewarming. The recovery process of RCC was studied by using a paired RCC protocol. In both groups, at the shortest interval (10 s) between two RCCs, the amplitude of the second RCC was decreased by 25% compared with the first RCC. Increasing the time interval led to progressive monoexponential recovery of the second RCC with similar time constants in control and mdx diaphragm. These results indicate that the dystrophic process does not significantly alter SR Ca2+ uptake nor Ca2+ redistribution within the muscular cell.
