Abstract
The process of Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) comprises 4 phases in smooth muscle cells. Phase 1 is characterized by a large increase of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) with a minimal reduction of the free luminal SR [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]FSR). Importantly, active SR Ca2+ ATPases (SERCA pumps) are necessary for phase 1 to occur. This situation cannot be explained by the standard kinetics that involves a fixed amount of luminal Ca2+ binding sites. A new mathematical model was developed that assumes an increasing SR Ca2+ buffering capacity in response to an increase of the luminal SR [Ca2+] that is called Kinetics-on-Demand (KonD) model. This approach can explain both phase 1 and the refractory period associated with a recovered [Ca2+]FSR. Additionally, our data suggest that active SERCA pumps are a requisite for KonD to be functional; otherwise luminal SR Ca2+ binding proteins switch to standard kinetics. The importance of KonD Ca2+ binding properties is twofold: a more efficient Ca2+ release process and that [Ca2+]FSR and Ca2+-bound to SR proteins ([Ca2+]BSR) can be regulated separately allowing for Ca2+ release to occur (provided by Ca2+-bound to luminal Ca2+ binding proteins) without an initial reduction of the [Ca2+]FSR.

Abstract
Simultaneous recording of cytosolic and sarco-endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) luminal free calcium concentrations ([Ca(2+)](i) and [Ca(2+)](L), respectively) supports the notion that release channels (RyRs and IP(3)Rs) use a concealed Ca(2+) source, likely to be associated with intra-SR/ER Ca(2+) binding proteins, whereas SR/ER Ca(2+) leak channels can only access free luminal Ca(2+). We hypothesize that Ca(2+) is trapped by oligomers of luminal Ca(2+)-binding proteins and that the opening of release channels induces the rapid liberation of this "concealed" Ca(2+) source associated with intra-ER Ca(2+) buffers. Our hypothesis may also clarify why SERCA pumps potentiate Ca(2+) release and explain quantal characteristics and refractory states of Ca(2+) release process.

Abstract
Ca(2+) signaling is of vital importance to cardiac cell function and plays an important role in heart failure. It is based on sarcolemmal, sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial Ca(2+) cycling. While the first two are well characterized, the latter remains unclear, controversial and technically challenging. In mammalian cardiac myocytes, Ca(2+) influx through L-type calcium channels in the sarcolemmal membrane triggers Ca(2+) release from the nearby junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum to produce Ca(2+) sparks. When this triggering is synchronized by the cardiac action potential, a global [Ca(2+)](i) transient arises from coordinated Ca(2+) release events. The ends of intermyofibrillar mitochondria are located within 20 nm of the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum and thereby experience a high local [Ca(2+)] during the Ca(2+) release process. Both local and global Ca(2+) signals may thus influence calcium signaling in mitochondria and, reciprocally, mitochondria may contribute to the local control of calcium signaling. In addition to the intermyofibrillar mitochondria, morphologically distinct mitochondria are also located in the perinuclear and subsarcolemmal regions of the cardiomyocyte and thus experience a different local [Ca(2+)]. Here we review the literature in regard to several issues of broad interest: (1) the ultrastructural basis for mitochondrion - sarcoplasmic reticulum cross-signaling; (2) mechanisms of sarcoplasmic reticulum signaling; (3) mitochondrial calcium signaling; and (4) the possible interplay of calcium signaling between the sarcoplasmic reticulum and adjacent mitochondria. Finally, this review discusses experimental findings and mathematical models of cardiac calcium signaling between the sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, identifies weaknesses in these models, and suggests strategies and approaches for future investigations.

Abstract
The structure of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes was studied in the presence of modeled transmembrane Ca2+ gradient corresponding to the status of Ca2+ depot at different stages of the muscle contraction-relaxation cycle in health and disease. Various sites of the membrane were characterized using spectral analysis of tryptophan, pyrene, and merocyanine-540 fluorescence without evaluating specific changes in the molecules of membrane components (Ca2+ -ATPase, ryanodine receptor, and lipids). The transmembrane Ca2+ gradient modulates the protein-lipid interactions and structural characteristics of the membrane. The proposed model can be used for studies of the effects of pharmacologically active substances and endogenous regulators.

Abstract
The study investigated the hypothesis that three consecutive days of prolonged cycle exercise would result in a sustained reduction in the Ca(2+)-cycling properties of the vastus lateralis in the absence of changes in the sarcoplasmic (endoplasmic) reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) protein. Tissue samples were obtained at preexercise (Pre) and postexercise (Post) on day 1 (E1) and day 3 (E3) and during recovery day 1 (R1), day 2 (R2), and day 3 (R3) in 12 active but untrained volunteers (age 19.2 +/- 0.27 yr; mean +/- SE) and analyzed for changes (nmol.mg protein(-1).min(-1)) in maximal Ca(2+)-ATPase activity (V(max)), Ca(2+) uptake and Ca(2+) release (phase 1 and phase 2), and SERCA isoform expression (SERCA1a and SERCA2a). At E1, reductions (P < 0.05) from Pre to Post in V(max) (150 +/- 7 vs. 121 +/- 7), Ca(2+) uptake (7.79 +/- 0.28 vs. 5.71 +/- 0.33), and both phases of Ca(2+) release (phase 1, 20.3 +/- 1.3 vs. 15.2 +/- 1.1; phase 2, 7.70 +/- 0.60 vs. 4.99 +/- 0.48) were found. In contrast to V(max), which recovered at Pre E3 and then remained stable at Post E3 and throughout recovery, Ca(2+) uptake remained depressed (P < 0.05) at E3 Pre and Post and at R1 as did phase 2 of Ca(2+) release. Exercise resulted in an increase (P < 0.05) in SERCA1a (14% at R2) but not SERCA2a. It is concluded that rapidly adapting mechanisms protect V(max) following the onset of regular exercise but not Ca(2+) uptake and Ca(2+) release.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of 2 Ca2+ channel blockers, verapamil and diltiazem, on calcium loading (active Ca2+ uptake) and the following Ca2+ release induced by silver ion (Ag+) and Ca2+ from the membrane of heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of chicken skeletal muscle. A fluorescent probe technique was employed to determine the calcium movement through the SR. Pretreatment of the medium with diltiazem and verapamil resulted in a significant decrease in the active Ca2+ uptake, with IC50 of about 290 micromol/L for verapamil and 260 micromol/L for diltiazem. Inhibition of Ca2+ uptake was not due to the development of a substantial drug-dependent leak of Ca2+ from the SR. It might, in part, have been mediated by a direct inhibitory effect of these drugs on the Ca2+ ATPase activity of the SR Ca2+ pump. We confirmed that Ca2+ channel blockers, administered after SR Ca2+ loading and before induction of Ca2+ release, caused a dose-dependent inhibition of both Ca2+- and Ag+-induced Ca2+ release rate. Moreover, if Ca2+ channel blockers were administered prior to SR Ca2+ loading, in spite of Ca2+ uptake inhibition the same reduction in Ca2+- and Ag+-induced Ca2+ release rate was seen. We showed that the inhibition of Ag+-induced Ca2+ release by L-channel blockers is more sensitive than Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release inhibition, so the IC50 for Ag+- and Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release was about 100 and 310 micromol/L for verapamil and 79 and 330 micromol/L for diltiazem, respectively. Our results support the evidence that Ca2+ channel blockers affect muscle microsome of chicken skeletal muscle by 2 independent mechanisms: first, reduction of Ca2+ uptake rate and Ca2+-ATPase activity inhibition, and second, inhibition of both Ag+- and Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release by Ca2+ release channels. These findings confirm the direct effect of Ca2+ channel blockers on calcium release channels. Our results suggest that even if the SR is incompletely preloaded with Ca2+ because of inhibition of Ca2+ uptake by verapamil and diltiazem, no impairment in Ca2+ release occurs.

Abstract
Flubendiamide, developed by Nihon Nohyaku Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan), is a novel activator of ryanodine-sensitive calcium release channels (ryanodine receptors; RyRs), and is known to stabilize insect RyRs in an open state in a species-specific manner and to desensitize the calcium dependence of channel activity. In this study, using flubendiamide as an experimental tool, we examined an impact of functional modulation of RyR on Ca2+ pump. Strikingly, flubendiamide induced a 4-fold stimulation of the Ca2+ pump activity (EC50=11 nM) of an insect that resequesters Ca2+ to intracellular stores, a greater increase than with the classical RyR modulators ryanodine and caffeine. This prominent stimulation, which implies tight functional coupling of Ca2+ release with Ca2+ pump, resulted in a marginal net increase in the extravesicular calcium concentration despite robust Ca2+ release from the intracellular stores by flubendiamide. Further analysis suggested that luminal Ca2+ is an important mediator for the functional coordination of RyRs and Ca2+ pumps. However, kinetic factors for Ca2+ pumps, including ATP and cytoplasmic Ca2+, failed to affect the Ca2+ pump stimulation by flubendiamide. We therefore conclude that the stimulation of Ca2+ pump by flubendiamide is mediated by the decrease in luminal calcium, which may induce calcium dissociation from the luminal Ca2+ binding site on the Ca2+ pump. This mechanism should play an essential role in precise control of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis.

Abstract
This study examined the effects of progressive exercise to fatigue in normoxia (N) on muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+cycling and whether alterations in SR Ca2+cycling are related to the blunted peak mechanical power output (POpeak) and peak oxygen consumption (V̇o2 peak) observed during progressive exercise in hypoxia (H). Nine untrained men (20.7 ± 0.42 yr) performed progressive cycle exercise to fatigue on two occasions, namely during N (inspired oxygen fraction = 0.21) and during H (inspired oxygen fraction = 0.14). Tissue extracted from the vastus lateralis before exercise and at power output corresponding to 50 and 70% of V̇o2 peak(as determined during N) and at fatigue was used to investigate changes in homogenate SR Ca2+-cycling properties. Exercise in H compared with N resulted in a 19 and 21% lower ( P < 0.05) POpeakand V̇o2 peak, respectively. During progressive exercise in N, Ca2+-ATPase kinetics, as determined by maximal activity, the Hill coefficient, and the Ca2+concentration at one-half maximal activity were not altered. However, reductions with exercise in N were noted in Ca2+uptake (before exercise = 357 ± 29 μmol·min−1·g protein−1; at fatigue = 306 ± 26 μmol·min−1·g protein−1; P < 0.05) when measured at free Ca2+concentration of 2 μM and in phase 2 Ca2+release (before exercise = 716 ± 33 μmol·min−1·g protein−1; at fatigue = 500 ± 53 μmol·min−1·g protein−1; P < 0.05) when measured in vitro in whole muscle homogenates. No differences were noted between N and H conditions at comparable power output or at fatigue. It is concluded that, although structural changes in SR Ca2+-cycling proteins may explain fatigue during progressive exercise in N, they cannot explain the lower POpeakand V̇o2 peakobserved during H.

Abstract
In chronic fatigue syndrome, several reported alterations may be related to specific oxidative modifications in muscle. Since sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes are the basic structures involved in excitation-contraction coupling and the thiol groups of Ca(2+) channels of SR terminal cisternae are specific targets for reactive oxygen species, it is possible that excitation-contraction coupling is involved in this pathology. We investigated the possibility that abnormalities in this compartment are involved in the pathogenesis of chronic fatigue syndrome and consequently responsible for characteristic fatigue. The data presented here support this hypothesis and indicate that the sarcolemmal conduction system and some aspects of Ca(2+) transport are negatively influenced in chronic fatigue syndrome. In fact, both deregulation of pump activities (Na(+)/K(+) and Ca(2+)-ATPase) and alteration in the opening status of ryanodine channels may result from increased membrane fluidity involving sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes.

Abstract
Thapsigargin-sensitive sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pumps (SERCAs) are involved in maintaining and replenishing agonist-sensitive internal stores. Although it has been assumed that release channels act independently of SERCA pumps, there are data suggesting the opposite. Our aim was to study the relationship between SERCA pumps and the release channels in smooth muscle cells. To this end, we have rapidly blocked SERCA pumps with thapsigargin, to avoid depletion of the internal Ca(2+) stores, and induced Ca(2+) release with either caffeine, to open ryanodine receptors, or acetylcholine, to open inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors. Blocking SERCA pumps produced smaller and slower agonist-induced [Ca(2+)](i) responses. We determined the Ca(2+) level of the internal stores both indirectly, measuring the frequency of spontaneous transient outward currents, and directly, using Mag-Fura-2, and demonstrated that the inhibition of SERCA pumps did not produce a reduction of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) levels to explain the decrease in the agonist-induced Ca(2+) responses. It appears that SERCA pumps are involved in sustaining agonist-induced Ca(2+) release by a mechanism that involves the modulation of Ca(2+) availability in the lumen of the internal stores.

Abstract
Silver nitrate (AgNO3) is a sulfhydryl oxidizing agent that induces a biphasic Ca2+ release from isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles by presumably oxidizing critical sulfhydryl groups in the Ca2+ release channel (CRC), causing the channel to open. To further examine the effects of AgNO3 on the CRC and the Ca2+-ATPase, Ca2+ release was measured in muscle homogenates prepared from rat hindlimb muscle using indo 1. Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) and ruthenium red (RR) were used to inhibit the Ca2+-ATPase and block the CRC, respectively, before inducing Ca2+ release with both AgNO3 and 4-chloro-m-cresol (4-CMC), a releasing agent specific for the CRC. With AgNO3 and CPA, the early rapid rate of release (phase 1) was increased (P < 0.05) by 42% (314 +/- 5 vs. 446 +/- 39 micromol x g protein(-1) x min(-1)), whereas the slower, more prolonged rate of release (phase 2) was decreased (P < 0.05) by 72% (267 +/- 39 vs. 74 +/- 7.7 micromol x g protein(-1) x min(-1)). RR, in combination with AgNO3, had no effect on phase 1 (P > 0.05) (314 +/- 51 vs. 334 +/- 43 micromol x g protein(-1) x min(-1)) and decreased phase 2 (P < 0.05) by 65% (245 +/- 34 vs. 105 +/- 8.2 micromol x g protein(-1) x min(-1)). With 4-CMC, CPA had no effect (P > 0.05) on either phase 1 or 2. With addition of RR, phase 1 was reduced (P < 0.05) by 59% (2,468 +/- 279 vs. 1,004 +/- 87 micromol x g protein(-1) x min(-1)), and RR completely blocked phase 2. Both AgNO3 and 4-CMC fully inhibited Ca2+-ATPase activity measured in homogenates. These findings indicate that AgNO3, but not 4-CMC, induces Ca2+ release by acting on both the CRC and the Ca2+-ATPase.
