Effect of chloride on Ca 2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of mechanically skinned skeletal muscle fibres

Abstract: The effect of intracellular Cl- on Ca2+ release in mechanically skinned fibres of rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and toad iliofibularis muscles was examined under physiological conditions of myoplasmic [Mg2+] and [ATP] and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ loading. Both in rat and toad fibres, the presence of 20 mM Cl- in the myoplasm increased Ca2+ leakage from the SR at pCa (i.e. -log10 [Ca2+]) 6.7, but not at pCa 8. Ca2+ uptake was not significantly affected by the presence of Cl-. This Ca2+-dependent e… Show more

“…The area under the curve (integral) of the force response after treatment with L-lactate was then compared with the average integral of control responses before and after treatment. The integral of the caffeine response has been previously shown to be approximately linearly proportional to the length of time the fiber is loaded (5,8,28). Thus the integral of the force response provides a good indication of the amount of releasable Ca 2ϩ in the SR.…”

“…Determination of net Ca 2ϩ leak from the SR. The methods employed in this study have been previously described in detail (5,8,28). Briefly, the SR of a skinned fiber was first depleted of virtually all the total SR Ca 2ϩ content with a K-HDTA solution containing 0.05 mM free [Mg 2ϩ ], 30 mM caffeine, and 0.5 mM total EGTA (termed the caffeine solution).…”

“…The concept of a counterion channel in the ER to balance negative charges occurring through Ca 2+ release and reuptake into the ER store has long been proposed [7]. In the SR, Cl − channels play an essential role in excitation-contraction coupling, by balancing charge movement during calcium release and reuptake [13,22]. This has also been well described in airway smooth muscle cells.…”

“…The effect could be attributed predominantly to the Clions and may reflect increased leakiness of the sarcoplasmic reticulum caused by Cl - [1]. The diffusion of KCl into the fibre pools led to a rapid run down of the cells.…”
