Abstract
The contraction of cardiac muscle underlying the pumping action of the heart is mediated by the process of excitation-contraction coupling (ECC). While triggered by Ca2+ entry across the sarcolemma during the action potential, it is the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) intracellular Ca2+ store via ryanodine receptors (RyRs) that plays the major role in induction of contraction. Ca2+ also acts as a key intracellular messenger regulating transcription underlying hypertrophic growth. Although Ca2+ release via RyRs is by far the greatest contributor to the generation of Ca2+ transients in the cardiomyocyte, Ca2+ is also released from the SR via inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) receptors (InsP3Rs). This InsP3-induced Ca2+ release modifies Ca2+ transients during ECC, participates in directing Ca2+ to the mitochondria, and stimulates the transcription of genes underlying hypertrophic growth. Central to these specific actions of InsP3Rs is their localization to responsible signalling microdomains, the dyad, the SR-mitochondrial interface and the nucleus. In this review, the various roles of InsP3R in cardiac (patho)physiology and the mechanisms by which InsP3 signalling selectively influences the different cardiomyocyte cell processes in which it is involved will be presented. This article is part of the theme issue ‘The cardiomyocyte: new revelations on the interplay between architecture and function in growth, health, and disease’.

ZFHX3 knockdown dysregulates mitochondrial adaptations to tachypacing in atrial myocytes through enhanced oxidative stress and calcium overload. Acta Physiol (Oxf) 2021; 231:e13604.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the role of zinc finger homeobox 3 gene (ZFHX3) in tachypacing-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and explore its molecular mechanisms and potential as a therapeutic target in atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS Through a bioluminescent assay, a patch clamp, confocal fluorescence and fluorescence microscopy, microplate enzyme activity assays and Western blotting, we studied ATP and ADP production, mitochondrial electron transfer chain complex activities, ATP-sensitive potassium channels (IKATP ), mitochondrial oxidative stress, Ca2+ content, and protein expression in control and ZFHX3 knockdown (KD) HL-1 cells subjected to 1 and 5-Hz pacing for 24 hours. RESULTS Compared with 1-Hz pacing, 5-Hz pacing increased ATP and ADP production, IKATP , phosphorylated adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase and inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3 ) receptor (IP3 R) protein expression. Tachypacing induced mitochondrial oxidative stress and Ca2+ overload in both cell types. Furthermore, under 1- and 5-Hz pacing, ZFHX3 KD cells showed higher IKATP , ATP and ADP production, mitochondrial oxidative stress and Ca2+ content than control cells. Under 5-Hz pacing, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB; 3 μmol/L, an IP3 R inhibitor) and MitoTEMPO (10 µmol/L, a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant) reduced ADP and increased ATP production in both cell types; however, only 2-APB significantly reduced mitochondrial Ca2+ overload in control cells. Under 5-Hz pacing, mitochondrial oxidative stress was significantly reduced by both MitoTEMPO and 2-APB and only by 2-APB in control and ZFHX3 KD cells respectively. CONCLUSION ZFHX3 KD cells modulate mitochondrial adaptations to tachypacing in HL-1 cardiomyocytes through Ca2+ overload, oxidative stress and metabolic disorder. Targeting IP3 R signalling or oxidative stress could reduce AF.

Abstract
AIMS Elevated levels of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) in adult cardiac myocytes are typically associated with the development of cardiac hypertrophy, arrhythmias, and heart failure. IP3 enhances intracellular Ca(2+ )release via IP3 receptors (IP3Rs) located at the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). We aimed to determine whether IP3-induced Ca(2+ )release affects mitochondrial function and determine the underlying mechanisms. METHODS AND RESULTS We compared the effects of IP3Rs- and ryanodine receptors (RyRs)-mediated cytosolic Ca(2+ )elevation achieved by endothelin-1 (ET-1) and isoproterenol (ISO) stimulation, respectively, on mitochondrial Ca(2+ )uptake and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation. Both ET-1 and isoproterenol induced an increase in mitochondrial Ca(2+ )(Ca(2 +) m) but only ET-1 led to an increase in ATP concentration. ET-1-induced effects were prevented by cell treatment with the IP3 antagonist 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and absent in myocytes from transgenic mice expressing an IP3 chelating protein (IP3 sponge). Furthermore, ET-1-induced mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake was insensitive to the mitochondrial Ca(2+ )uniporter inhibitor Ru360, however was attenuated by RyRs type 1 inhibitor dantrolene. Using real-time polymerase chain reaction, we detected the presence of all three isoforms of IP3Rs and RyRs in murine ventricular myocytes with a dominant presence of type 2 isoform for both receptors. CONCLUSIONS Stimulation of IP3Rs with ET-1 induces Ca(2+ )release from the SR which is tunnelled to mitochondria via mitochondrial RyR leading to stimulation of mitochondrial ATP production.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a critical autocrine and paracrine regulator of cardiac physiology and pathology. Produced locally within the myocardium in response to diverse mechanical and neurohormonal stimuli, ET-1 acutely modulates cardiac contractility. During pathological cardiovascular conditions such as ischaemia, left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure, myocyte expression and activity of the entire ET-1 system is enhanced, allowing the peptide to both initiate and maintain maladaptive cellular responses. Both the acute and chronic effects of ET-1 are dependent on the activation of intracellular signalling pathways, regulated by the inositol-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol produced upon activation of the ET(A) receptor. Subsequent stimulation of protein kinases C and D, calmodulin-dependent kinase II, calcineurin and MAPKs modifies the systolic calcium transient, myofibril function and the activity of transcription factors that coordinate cellular remodelling. The precise nature of the cellular response to ET-1 is governed by the timing, localization and context of such signals, allowing the peptide to regulate both cardiomyocyte physiology and instigate disease.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) is a ubiquitous intracellular messenger regulating diverse functions in almost all mammalian cell types. It is generated by membrane receptors that couple to phospholipase C (PLC), an enzyme which liberates IP(3) from phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)). The major action of IP(3), which is hydrophilic and thus translocates from the membrane into the cytoplasm, is to induce Ca(2+) release from endogenous stores through IP(3) receptors (IP(3)Rs). Cardiac excitation-contraction coupling relies largely on ryanodine receptor (RyR)-induced Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Myocytes express a significantly larger number of RyRs compared to IP(3)Rs (~100:1), and furthermore they experience substantial fluxes of Ca(2+) with each heartbeat. Therefore, the role of IP(3) and IP(3)-mediated Ca(2+) signaling in cardiac myocytes has long been enigmatic. Recent evidence, however, indicates that despite their paucity cardiac IP(3)Rs may play crucial roles in regulating diverse cardiac functions. Strategic localization of IP(3)Rs in cytoplasmic compartments and the nucleus enables them to participate in subsarcolemmal, bulk cytoplasmic and nuclear Ca(2+) signaling in embryonic stem cell-derived and neonatal cardiomyocytes, and in adult cardiac myocytes from the atria and ventricles. Intriguingly, expression of both IP(3)Rs and membrane receptors that couple to PLC/IP(3) signaling is altered in cardiac disease such as atrial fibrillation or heart failure, suggesting the involvement of IP(3) signaling in the pathology of these diseases. Thus, IP(3) exerts important physiological and pathological functions in the heart, ranging from the regulation of pacemaking, excitation-contraction and excitation-transcription coupling to the initiation and/or progression of arrhythmias, hypertrophy and heart failure.

Abstract
Although ventricular cardiomyocytes express inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] receptors, it is unclear how these Ca2+ channels contribute to the effects of Gq-coupled agonists. Endothelin-1 augmented the amplitude of pacing-evoked Ca2+ signals (positive inotropy), and caused an increasing frequency of spontaneous diastolic Ca2+-release transients. Both effects of endothelin-1 were blocked by an antagonist of phospholipase C, suggesting that Ins(1,4,5)P3 and/or diacylglycerol production was necessary. The endothelin-1-mediated spontaneous Ca2+ transients were abolished by application of 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB), an antagonist of Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors. Incubation of electrically-paced ventricular myocytes with a membrane-permeant Ins(1,4,5)P3 ester provoked the occurrence of spontaneous diastolic Ca2+ transients with the same characteristics and sensitivity to 2-APB as the events stimulated by endothelin-1. In addition to evoking spontaneous Ca2+ transients, stimulation of ventricular myocytes with the Ins(1,4,5)P3 ester caused a positive inotropic effect. The effects of endothelin-1 were compared with two other stimuli, isoproterenol and digoxin, which are known to induce inotropy and spontaneous Ca2+ transients by overloading intracellular Ca2+ stores. The events evoked by isoproterenol and digoxin were dissimilar from those triggered by endothelin-1 in several ways. We propose that Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors support the development of both inotropy and spontaneous pro-arrhythmic Ca2+ signals in ventricular myocytes stimulated with a Gq-coupled agonist.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to examine the role of a major cardiac phospholipase C (PLC) isozyme, PLC-γ1, in cardiomyocytes during oxidative stress. Left ventricular cardiomyocytes were isolated by collagenase digestion from adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (250–300 g) and treated with 20, 50, and 100 μM H2O2for 15 min. A concentration-dependent (up to 50 μM) increase in the mRNA level and membrane protein content of PLC-γ1was observed with H2O2treatment. Furthermore, PLC-γ1was activated in response to H2O2, as revealed by an increase in the phosphorylation of its tyrosine residues. There was a marked increase in the phosphorylation of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 by H2O2; this change was attenuated by a PLC inhibitor, U-73122. Although both protein kinase C (PKC)-δ and -ε protein contents were increased in the cardiomyocyte membrane fraction in response to H2O2, PKC-ε activation, unlike PKC-δ, was attenuated by U-73122 (2 μM). Inhibition of PKC-ε with inhibitory peptide (0.1 μM) prevented Bcl-2 phosphorylation. Moreover, different concentrations (0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 μM) of this peptide augmented the decrease in cardiomyocyte viability in response to H2O2. In addition, a decrease in cardiomyocyte viability, as assessed by trypan blue exclusion, due to H2O2was also seen when cells were pretreated with U-73122 and was as a result of increased apoptosis. It is therefore suggested that PLC-γ1may play a role in cardiomyocyte survival during oxidative stress via PKC-ε and phosphorylation of Bcl-2.

Abstract
Because the left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy due to volume overload induced by arteriovenous (AV) shunt was associated with an increase in phospholipase C (PLC) isozyme mRNA levels, PLC is considered to be involved in the development of cardiac hypertrophy. Since the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is activated in cardiac hypertrophy, the role of RAS in the stimulation of PLC isozyme gene expression in hypertrophied heart was investigated by inducing AV shunt in Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were treated with or without losartan (20 mg/kg, daily) for 3 days as well as 1, 2 and 4 weeks, and atria, right ventricle (RV) and LV were used for analysis. The increased muscle mass as well as the mRNA levels for PLC beta1 and beta3 in atria and RV, unlike PLC beta3 gene expression in LV, at 3 days of AVshunt were attenuated by losartan. The increased gene expression for PLC beta1 at 2 weeks in atria, at 1 and 4 weeks in RV, and at 2 and 4 weeks in LV was also depressed by losartan treatment. Likewise, the elevated mRNA levels for PLC beta3 in RV at 1 week and in LVat 4 weeks of cardiac hypertrophy were decreased by losartan. On the other hand, the increased levels of mRNA for PLC gamma1 in RV and LV at 2 and 4 weeks of inducing hypertrophy, unlike in atria at 4 weeks were not attenuated by losartan treatment. While the increased mRNA level for PLC delta1 in LV was reduced by losartan, gene expression for PLC delta1 was unaltered in atria and decreased in RV at 3 days of inducing AV shunt. These results suggest that changes in PLC isozyme gene expression were chamber specific and time-dependent upon inducing cardiac hypertrophy due to AV shunt. Furthermore, partial attenuation of the increased gene expression for some of the PLC isozymes and no effect of losartan on others indicate that both RAS dependent and independent mechanisms may be involved in hypertrophied hearts due to volume overload.

Abstract
We report identification of an ankyrin-B-based macromolecular complex of Na/K ATPase (alpha 1 and alpha 2 isoforms), Na/Ca exchanger 1, and InsP3 receptor that is localized in cardiomyocyte T-tubules in discrete microdomains distinct from classic dihydropyridine receptor/ryanodine receptor "dyads." E1425G mutation of ankyrin-B, which causes human cardiac arrhythmia, also blocks binding of ankyrin-B to all three components of the complex. The ankyrin-B complex is markedly reduced in adult ankyrin-B(+/-) cardiomyocytes, which may explain elevated [Ca2+]i transients in these cells. Thus, loss of the ankyrin-B complex provides a molecular basis for cardiac arrhythmia in humans and mice. T-tubule-associated ankyrin-B, Na/Ca exchanger, and Na/K ATPase are not present in skeletal muscle, where ankyrin-B is expressed at 10-fold lower levels than in heart. Ankyrin-B also is not abundantly expressed in smooth muscle. We propose that the ankyrin-B-based complex is a specialized adaptation of cardiomyocytes with a role for cytosolic Ca2+ modulation.

Abstract
We found when L-type calcium current (ICa-L) was recorded with the perforated patch-clamp method in rat ventricular myocytes that bath application of phenylephrine (with propranolol) evoked a biphasic response characterized by an initial transient suppression followed by a sustained potentiation. The transient suppression occurred 30–60 s after phenylephrine perfusion and reached peak inhibition at approximately 2 min. The biphasic modulation of ICa-Lwas also elicited by methoxamine, and the effects of phenylephrine were blocked by prazosin, indicating that the responses were mediated through α1-adrenoceptors. Pretreatment of cells with H7 (100 µmol/L), a broad-spectrum protein kinase inhibitor that inhibits both protein kinase C and A, eliminated potentiation but did not affect transient suppression. The transient suppression occurred concurrently with the acceleration of the fast component of ICa-Linactivation. Depletion of intracellular Ca2+stores by ryanodine plus caffeine or thapsigargin eliminated the transient suppression. When ICa-Lwas recorded with whole-cell patch-clamp and with 0.05 mmol/L EGTA in the pipette solution to allow intracellular Ca2+to fluctuate, phenylephrine evoked a transient suppression as in the perforated patch recordings. Heparin, a specific blocker of IP3(inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate) receptors, eliminated the phenylephrine-induced transient suppression of ICa-Lwhen added to the pipette solution. Intensive chelation of intracellular Ca2+by 5 mmol/L BAPTA (1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid) in the pipette solution also eliminated the phenylephrine-induced transient suppression of ICa-L. We conclude that transient increase in the concentration of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) caused by Ca2+release from intracellular stores underlies the transient suppression of ICa-L, whereas the potentiation of ICa-Lis a result of activation of protein kinases.Key words: Ca2+mobilization, IP3, Ca2+-induced inactivation of Ca2+current, perforated patch-clamp.

Abstract
Novel therapies are sought to increase efficiency and survival of transplanted organs. Previous research on experimental heart transplantation showed that treatment with the anti-inflammatory peptide alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) prolongs allograft survival. The aim of the present research was to determine the molecular mechanism of this protective activity. Gene expression profile was examined in heart grafts removed on postoperative days 1 and 4 from rats treated with saline or the synthetic alpha-MSH analog Nle4DPhe7 (NDP)-alpha-MSH. On postoperative day 1, the peptide induced expression of cytoskeleton proteins, intracellular kinases, transcription regulators, metallopeptidases, and protease inhibitors. Conversely, NDP-alpha-MSH repressed immune, inflammatory, cell cycle, and protein turnover mediators. Later effects of alpha-MSH treatment included down-regulation of oxidative stress response and up-regulation of ion channels, calcium regulation proteins, phosphatidylinositol signaling system, and glycolipidic metabolism. NDP-alpha-MSH exerted its effects on both Ag-dependent and -independent injury. The results indicate that NDP-alpha-MSH preserves heart function through a broad effect on multiple pathways and suggest that the peptide could improve the outcome of organ transplantation in combination with immunosuppressive treatments.

Abstract
Phospholipase C (PLC) activity is known to influence cardiac function. This study was undertaken to examine the status of PLC beta3 in the cardiac cell plasma membrane (sarcolemma, SL) in an experimental model of chronic diabetes. SL membrane was isolated from diabetic rat hearts at 8 weeks after a single i.v. injection of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg body weight). The total SL PLC was decreased in diabetes and was associated with a decrease in SL PLC beta3 activity, which immunofluorescence in frozen diabetic left ventricular tissue sections revealed to be due to a decrease in PLC beta3 protein abundance. In contrast, the SL abundance of Gqalpha was significantly increased during diabetes. These changes were associated with a loss of contractile function (+/- dP/dt). A 2-week insulin treatment of 6-week diabetic animals partially normalized all of these parameters. These findings suggest a defect in PLC beta3-mediated signaling processes may contribute to the cardiac dysfunction seen during diabetes.

Abstract
The Ca2+-dependent PLC converts phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3]. Because these products modulate Ca2+ movements in the myocardium, PLC may also contribute to a self-perpetuating cycle that exacerbates cardiomyocyte Ca2+-overload and subsequent cardiac dysfunction in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Although we have reported that I/R-induced changes in PLC isozymes might contribute to cardiac dysfunction, the present study was undertaken to examine the beneficial effects of the PLC inhibitor, U-73122, as well as determining the role of Ca2+ on the I/R-induced changes in PLC isozymes. Isolated rat hearts were subjected to global ischemia 30 min, followed by 5 or 30 min of reperfusion. Pretreatment of hearts with U-73122 (0.5 μM) significantly inhibited DAG and Ins(1,4,5)P3 production in I/R and was associated with enhanced recovery of cardiac function as indicated by measurement of left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic pressure (EDP), LV diastolic pressure (LVDP), maximum rate of pressure development (+dP/d tmax), and maximum rate of LV pressure decay (−dP/d tmax). Verapamil (0.1 μM) partially prevented the increase in sarcolemmal (SL) PLC-β1 activity in ischemia and the decrease in its activity during the reperfusion phase as well as elicited a partial protection of the depression in SL PLC-δ1 and PLC-γ1 activities during the ischemic phase and attenuated the increase during the reperfusion period. Although these changes were associated with an improved myocardial recovery after I/R, verapamil was less effective than U-73122. Perfusion with high Ca2+ resulted in the activation of the PLC isozymes studied and was associated with a markedly increased LVEDP and reduced LVDP, +dP/d tmax, and −dP/d tmax. These results suggest that inhibition of PLC improves myocardial recovery after I/R.

Abstract
Volume overload due to arteriovenous (AV) shunt results in cardiac hypertrophy followed by the progression to heart failure. The phosphoinositide phospholipase C (PLC) converts phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) to 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate (IP(3)), which are known to influence cardiac function. Therefore, we examined the time course of changes in DAG and IP(3) as well as PLC isozyme gene expression, protein content, and activities in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure induced by AV shunt in Sprague-Dawley rats by the needle technique. An increase in the left ventricle (LV)-to-body weight ratio demonstrated that LV hypertrophy was established at 4 wk after the induction of the shunt. PLC-beta(1) activity was increased two- and sevenfold at 3 days and 1 and 2 wk after the induction of volume overload, respectively. These changes were associated with increases in the mRNA and sarcolemmal (SL) protein content; however, no changes in PLC-beta(1) were detected at 4 wk. On the other hand, a significant increase in PLC-gamma(1) activity as well as mRNA and SL protein was seen at 3 days and 4 wk. A progressive decrease in PLC-delta(1) activity with concomitant reductions in the gene expression and SL protein abundance was detected during 1 to 4 wk. Activity of gamma(1)- and delta(1)-isozymes was significantly depressed during the 8- and 16-wk time points, whereas beta(1)-isozyme was increased significantly during these time points. A progressive decrease in the SL PIP(2) content was observed during cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. Our findings indicate that PLC isozyme signaling processes are increased in hypertrophy and decreased in heart failure due to volume overload.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy is characterized by increased cardiomyocyte size, mRNA levels for atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), and protein synthesis. Although activation of the phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) leads to the generation of diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, the involvement of PLC in hypertrophic response remains to be fully understood. The present study was therefore undertaken to examine if the inhibition of PLC activity is associated with a decrease in ANF expression and protein synthesis in cardiomyocytes, due to norepinephrine (NE), a known hypertrophic agent. NE resulted in an increase in ANF gene expression and protein synthesis in adult rat cardiomyocytes, these effects of NE were attenuated by a PLC inhibitor, U73122. The NE-induced increase in ANF gene expression and protein synthesis was also inhibited by an alpha-adrenoceptor blocker, prazosin. Both U73122 and prazosin depressed the NE-induced increase in DAG production in cardiomyocytes. These results indicate that the alpha-adrenoceptor mediated PLC activation may be involved in the process of NE-induced cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
The effects of exogenous phosphatidic acid (PA) on Ca2+ transients and contractile activity were studied in cardiomyocytes isolated from chronic streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. In control cells, 25 microM PA induced a significant increase in active cell shortening and Ca2+ transients. PA increased IP3 generation in the control cardiomyocytes and its inotropic effects were blocked by a phospholipase C inhibitor. In cardiomyocytes from diabetic rats, PA induced a 25% decrease in active cell shortening and no significant effect on Ca2+ transients. Basal and PA-induced IP3 generation in diabetic rat cardiomyocytes was 3-fold lower as compared to control cells. Sarcolemmal membrane PLC activity was impaired. Insulin treatment of the diabetic animals resulted in a partial recovery of PA responses. Our results, therefore, identify an important defect in the PA-PLC signaling pathway in diabetic rat cardiomyocytes, which may have significant implications for heart dysfunction during diabetes.

Abstract
Phospholipase C (PLC) influences cardiac function. This study examined PLC isozymes of the cardiac sarcolemma (SL) membrane and in the cytosol compartment in isolated perfused rat hearts subjected to global ischemia for 30 min followed by up to 30 min of reperfusion. Although the total SL PLC activity was decreased in ischemia and increased upon reperfusion, differential changes in PLC isozymes were detected. PLC beta(1) mRNA and SL protein abundance and activity were increased in ischemia, with concomitant decreases in activity and protein level in the cytosol. On the other hand, upon reperfusion, PLC beta(1) activity was decreased, but remained higher than control values. Although no change in the PLC delta(1) mRNA level in ischemia was detected, SL PLC delta(1) activity and content were depressed. Furthermore, in the cytosol, PLC delta(1) activity was increased, but the protein level decreased. SL PLC gamma(1) activity was decreased, independent of gene expression and protein content; however, decreases in the activity and protein abundance were detected in the cytosol. Increases in PLC gamma(1) and delta(1) activities occurred upon reperfusion, but were not accounted for by altered mRNA and protein levels. The results indicate that ischemia-reperfusion induces differential changes in PLC isozymes.

Abstract
Phospholipase D 2 (PLD2) is the major PLD isozyme associated with the cardiac sarcolemmal (SL) membrane. Hydrolysis of SL phosphatidylcholine (PC) by PLD2 produces phosphatidic acid (PA), which is then converted to 1,2 diacylglycerol (DAG) by the action of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase type 2 (PAP2). In view of the role of both PA and DAG in the regulation of Ca(2+) movements and the association of abnormal Ca(2+) homeostasis with congestive heart failure (CHF), we examined the status of both PLD2 and PAP2 in SL membranes in the infarcted heart upon occluding the left coronary artery in rats for 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 weeks. A time-dependent increase in both SL PLD2 and PAP2 activities was observed in the non-infarcted left ventricular tissue following myocardial infarction (MI); however, the increase in PAP2 activity was greater than that in PLD2 activity. Furthermore, the contents of both PA and PC were reduced, whereas that of DAG was increased in the failing heart SL membrane. Treatment of the CHF animals with imidapril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, attenuated the observed changes in heart function, SL PLD2 and PAP2 activities, as well as SL PA, PC and DAG contents. The results suggest that heart failure is associated with increased activities of both PLD2 and PAP2 in the SL membrane and the beneficial effect of imidapril on heart function may be due to its ability to prevent these changes in the phospholipid signaling molecules in the cardiac SL membrane.

Abstract
Activation of phospholipase C (PLC) in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NCM) generates primarily inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P(3)) in response to rises in intracellular Ca(2+), or inositol 1,4-bisphosphate (Ins(1,4)P(2)) in response to norepinephrine (NE) (Matkovich, S. J. and Woodcock, E. A. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 10845-10850). To examine the PLC subtype mediating the alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor response, PLC-beta(1) and PLC-beta(3) were overexpressed in NCM using adenoviral infection (Ad-PLC-beta(1) NCM and Ad-PLC-beta(3) NCM, respectively) and PLC responses assessed from [(3)H]inositol phosphate (InsP) generation in the presence of 10 mm LiCl. The [(3)H]InsP response to NE (100 microm) was enhanced in Ad-PLC-beta(1) NCM relative to cells infected with blank virus (Ad-MX NCM), but was reduced in Ad-PLC-beta(3) NCM. In contrast, the [(3)H]InsP response to ATP (100 microm) was not elevated in Ad-PLC-beta(1) NCM, and was enhanced rather than diminished in Ad-PLC-beta(3) NCM, showing that effects of the two PLC-beta isoforms were specific for particular receptor types. PLC-delta(1) overexpression selectively reduced NE-induced [(3)H]InsP responses, without affecting the ATP stimulation. The reduced NE response was associated with a selective loss of PLC-beta(1) expression in Ad-PLC-delta(1) NCM. alpha(1)-Adrenergic receptor activation caused phosphorylation of PLC-beta(1) but not PLC-beta(3), whereas stimulation by ATP induced phosphorylation of PLC-beta(3) but not PLC-beta(1.) Taken together, these studies provide evidence that NE-stimulated InsP generation in NCM is primarily mediated by PLC-beta(1), despite the presence of both PLC-beta(1) and PLC-beta(3) isoforms.

Abstract
ATP, besides an intracellular energy source, is an agonist when applied to a variety of different cells including cardiomyocytes. Sources of ATP in the extracellular milieu are multiple. Extracellular ATP is rapidly degraded by ectonucleotidases. Today ionotropic P2X(1--7) receptors and metabotropic P2Y(1,2,4,6,11) receptors have been cloned and their mRNA found in cardiomyocytes. On a single cardiomyocyte, micromolar ATP induces nonspecific cationic and Cl(-) currents that depolarize the cells. ATP both increases directly via a G(s) protein and decreases Ca(2+) current. ATP activates the inward-rectifying currents (ACh- and ATP-activated K(+) currents) and outward K(+) currents. P2-purinergic stimulation increases cAMP by activating adenylyl cyclase isoform V. It also involves tyrosine kinases to activate phospholipase C-gamma to produce inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange to induce a large transient acidosis. No clear correlation is presently possible between an effect and the activation of a given P2-receptor subtype in cardiomyocytes. ATP itself is generally a positive inotropic agent. Upon rapid application to cells, ATP induces various forms of arrhythmia. At the tissue level, arrhythmia could be due to slowing of electrical spread after both Na(+) current decrease and cell-to-cell uncoupling as well as cell depolarization and Ca(2+) current increase. In as much as the information is available, this review also reports analog effects of UTP and diadenosine polyphosphates.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns 4,5-P2) is the substrate for phosphoinositide-phospholipase C (PLC) and is required for the function of several cardiac cell plasma membrane (sarcolemma, SL) proteins. PtdIns 4,5-P2 is synthesized in the SL membrane by coordinated and successive actions of PtdIns 4-kinase and PtdIns 4-phosphate 5-kinase. These kinases and the generation of PtdIns 4,5-P2 may be a factor in the cardiac dysfunction during pathophysiological conditions of oxidative stress. Therefore, we examined the effects of different reactive oxygen species (ROS) on the kinases' activities and subsequent generation of PtdIns 4,5-P2. Exposure to the xanthine-xanthine oxidase-ROS generating system significantly reduced both SL kinase activities. Superoxide dismutase did not prevent this inhibition; however, catalase significantly prevented the xanthine-xanthine oxidase induced inhibition. Treatment of SL with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) resulted in inhibition of both the kinases, which was prevented by catalase and dithiothreitol (DTT). Hypochlorous acid also inhibited both the kinases, which was prevented by DTT. Deferoxamine (an iron chelator) and mannitol (an *OH scavenger) did not modify the H2O2-induced depression of the kinases, eliminating any role of *OH. Furthermore, the IC50 of H2O2 on PtdIns 4-kinase and PtdIns 4-P 5-kinase was 27 and 81 microM, respectively. In addition, inclusion of reduced glutathione in the assay of the kinases in the absence of H2O2 did not affect the activities of the kinases; however, oxidized glutathione induced a significant depression. Also, a significant decline of the PtdIns 4-kinase and PtdIns 4-P 5-kinase activities due to changing of the redox ratio was observed. Thiol modifiers (N-ethylmaleimide, methyl methanethiosulfonate, or p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonic acid) were detected to depress the kinases' activities, which were substantially prevented by DTT. The results suggest that functionally critical thiol groups may be associated with PtdIns 4-kinase and PtdIns 4-P 5-kinase and that changes of their redox state by ROS can impair their activities, which may be an important factor in the oxidant-induced cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
1. The present review focuses on the role of the Ca2+-releasing second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) in initiating arrhythmias during early reperfusion following a period of myocardial ischaemia. 2. Evidence for an arrhythmogenic action of IP3 was provided by studies showing a correlation between the extent of the increase in IP3 and the incidence of arrhythmias in early reperfusion. In addition, phospholipase C inhibitors selective for thrombin receptor stimulation were anti-arrhythmic only when arrhythmias were thrombin initiated. 3. Mechanisms by which IP3 could initiate arrhythmias are discussed, with particular emphasis on the role of slow and unscheduled Ca2+ release. 4. The reperfusion-induced IP3 and arrhythmogenic responses can be initiated through either alpha1-adrenoceptors or thrombin receptors, but endothelin receptor stimulation was ineffective. Further studies have provided evidence that the noradrenaline-mediated response was mediated by alpha1A-receptors, while the alpha1B-adrenoceptor subtype appeared to be protective. 5. Reperfusion-induced IP3 responses could be inhibited by procedures known to reduce the incidence of arrhythmias under these conditions, including preconditioning, inhibiting Na+/H+ exchange or by dietary supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. 6. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate generation in cardiomyocytes can be facilitated by raising intracellular Ca2+ and it seems likely that the rise in Ca2+ in ischaemia and reperfusion is responsible for the generation of IP3, which will, in turn, further exacerbate Ca2+ overload.

Abstract
Inositol phosphate (InsP) responses to receptor activation are assumed to involve phospholipase C cleavage of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to generate Ins(1,4,5)P(3). However, in [(3)H]inositol-labeled rat neonatal cardiomyocytes (NCM) both initial and sustained [(3)H]InsP responses to alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor stimulation with norepinephrine (100 microM) were insensitive to the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-binding agent neomycin (5 mM). Introduction of 300 microM unlabeled Ins(1,4, 5)P(3) into guanosine 5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate (GTPgammaS)-stimulated, permeabilized [(3)H]inositol-labeled NCM increased [(3)H]Ins(1,4,5)P(3) slightly but did not significantly reduce levels of its metabolites [(3)H]Ins(1,4)P(2) and [(3)H]Ins(4)P, suggesting that these [(3)H]InsPs are not formed principally from [(3)H]Ins(1,4,5)P(3). In contrast, the calcium ionophore A23187 (10 microM) provoked [(3)H]InsP responses in intact NCM which were sensitive to neomycin, and elevation of free calcium in permeabilized NCM led to [(3)H]InsP responses characterized by marked increases in [(3)H]Ins(1,4,5)P(3) (2.9 +/- 0.2% of total [(3)H]InsPs after 20 min of high Ca(2+) treatment in comparison to 0. 21 +/- 0.05% of total [(3)H]InsPs accumulated after 20 min of GTPgammaS stimulation). These data provide evidence that Ins(1,4, 5)P(3) generation is not a major contributor to G protein-coupled InsP responses in NCM, but that substantial Ins(1,4,5)P(3) generation occurs under conditions of Ca(2+) overload. Thus in NCM, Ca(2+)-induced Ins(1,4,5)P(3) generation has the potential to worsen Ca(2+) overload and thereby aggravate Ca(2+)-induced electrophysiological perturbations.

Abstract
Although fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) plays an important role in cardioprotection and growth, little is known about the signals triggered by it in the adult heart. We therefore examined FGF-2-induced effects on phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) isozymes, which produce second messengers linked to the inotropic and hypertrophic response of the myocardium. FGF-2, administered by retrograde perfusion to the isolated heart, induced an increase in inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate levels in the cytosol, as well as an increase in total PI-PLC activity associated with sarcolemmal and cytosolic fractions. Furthermore FGF-2 induced a time-dependent elevation in cardiomyocyte membrane-associated PLC gamma1 and PLC β1 activities, assayed in immunoprecipitated fractions, and moreover, increased the membrane levels of PLC β1 and PLC β3. Activation of PLC β is suggestive of FGF-2-induced cross-talk between FGF-receptor tyrosine kinase and G-protein-coupled signaling in adult cardiomyocytes and underscores the importance of FGF-2 in cardiac physiology.Key words: FGF-2, signal transduction, PLC gamma, PLC β, cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
The effects of Cd(2+) (20 microM) and different bath temperatures were used to study the contributions of two separate triggering mechanisms, L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca)) and reverse mode Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange, to excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling in cat ventricular myocytes. Ionic currents and cell shortening were studied with patch pipettes filled with K(+)-containing internal solution and discontinuous ("switch") voltage clamp. Superfusion with Cd(2+) blocked cell shortening that closely mirrored the block of I(Ca); the voltage dependence of Cd(2+)-induced reduction in contraction was bell-shaped, displaying minima at test potentials below -10 mV and above +50 mV and a maximum at about +20 mV. Cd(2+)-insensitive cell shortening was blocked by ryanodine (10 microM) and Ni(2+) (4-5 mM). When an action potential was used as the command waveform for the voltage clamp (action potential clamp), Cd(2+) reduced contraction to approximately 60 +/- 7% of control cell shortening (n = 7). The remaining contraction was blocked by ryanodine and Ni(2+). Superfusion with nifedipine (10 microM) caused nearly identical effects to Cd(2+). The voltage dependence of contraction was sigmoidal at temperatures above 34 degrees C but bell-shaped below 30 degrees C. When Cd(2+) was added to superfusate, contraction was abolished at 25 degrees C (to 6 +/- 3% of control) but reduced only modestly at 34 degrees C (to 65 +/- 13% of control, test potential +10 mV, n = 4, P < 0.01). These results indicate that 1) there is a component of contraction that is sensitive to I(Ca) antagonists, and the block is equivalent with either organic or inorganic antagonists; 2) the contribution of Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange to triggering of contraction under our experimental conditions is fairly linear throughout the entire voltage range tested; 3) the contribution of I(Ca) is superimposed on this background component contributed by the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger; and 4) triggering via the exchanger is temperature-dependent, providing a major contribution at physiological temperatures but failing at temperatures below 30 degrees C in a nearly all-or-none fashion.

Abstract
We have examined the changes in quantity and activity of cardiac sarcolemmal (SL) phosphoinositide-phospholipase C (PLC)-beta(1), -gamma(1), and -delta(1) in a model of congestive heart failure (CHF) secondary to large transmural myocardial infarction (MI). We also instituted a late in vivo monotherapy with imidapril, an ANG-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, to test the hypothesis that its therapeutic action is associated with the functional correction of PLC isoenzymes. SL membranes were purified from the surviving left ventricle of rats in a moderate stage of CHF at 8 wk after occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. SL PLC isoenzymes were examined in terms of protein mass and hydrolytic activity. CHF resulted in a striking reduction (to 6-17% of controls) of the mass and activity of gamma(1)- and delta(1)-isoforms in combination with a significant increase of both PLC beta(1) parameters. In vivo treatment with imidapril (1 mg/kg body wt, daily, initiated 4 wk after coronary occlusion) improved the contractile function and induced a partial correction of PLCs. The mass of SL phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and the activities of the enzymes responsible for its synthesis were significantly reduced in post-MI CHF and partially corrected by imidapril. The results indicate that profound changes in the profile of heart SL PLC-beta(1), -gamma(1), and -delta(1) occur in CHF, which could alter the complex second messenger responses of these isoforms, whereas their partial correction by imidapril may be related to the mechanism of action of this ACE inhibitor.

Abstract
The aim of this review is to provide basic information on the electrophysiological changes during acute ischemia and reperfusion from the level of ion channels up to the level of multicellular preparations. After an introduction, section II provides a general description of the ion channels and electrogenic transporters present in the heart, more specifically in the plasma membrane, in intracellular organelles of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, and in the gap junctions. The description is restricted to activation and permeation characterisitics, while modulation is incorporated in section III. This section (ischemic syndromes) describes the biochemical (lipids, radicals, hormones, neurotransmitters, metabolites) and ion concentration changes, the mechanisms involved, and the effect on channels and cells. Section IV (electrical changes and arrhythmias) is subdivided in two parts, with first a description of the electrical changes at the cellular and multicellular level, followed by an analysis of arrhythmias during ischemia and reperfusion. The last short section suggests possible developments in the study of ischemia-related phenomena.

Abstract
The role of Na-Ca exchange in the membrane potential changes caused by repetitive activity ("drive") was studied in guinea pig single ventricular myocytes exposed to different [Ca2+]o. The following results were obtained. (i) In 5.4 mM [Ca2+]o, the action potentials (APs) gradually shortened during drive, and the outward current during a train of depolarizing voltage clamp steps gradually increased. (ii) The APs shortened more and were followed by a decaying voltage tail during drive in the presence of 5 mM caffeine; the outward current became larger and there was an inward tail current on repolarization during a train of depolarizing steps. (iii) These effects outlasted drive so that immediately after a train of APs, currents were already bigger and, after a train of steps, APs were already shorter. (iv) In 0.54 mM [Ca2+]o, the above effects were much smaller. (v) In high [Ca2+]o APs were shorter and outward currents larger than in low [Ca2+]o. (vi) In 10.8 mM [Ca2+]o, both outward and inward currents during long steps were exaggerated by prior drive, even with steps (+80 and +120 mV) at which there was no apparent inward current identifiable as ICa. (vii) In 0.54 mM [Ca2+]o, the time-dependent outward current was small and prior drive slightly increased it. (viii) During long steps, caffeine markedly increased outward and inward tail currents, and these effects were greatly decreased by low [Ca2+]o. (ix) After drive in the presence of caffeine, Ni2+ decreased the outward and inward tail currents. It is concluded that in the presence of high [Ca2+]o drive activates outward and inward Na-Ca exchange currents. During drive, the outward current participates in the plateau shortening and the inward tail current in the voltage tail after the action potential.Key words: ventricular myocytes, repetitive activity, outward and inward Na-Ca exchange currents, caffeine, nickel.

Abstract
Cardiac ischemia and anoxia induce massive norepinephrine (NE) release, which is mediated by a reverse operation of uptake-1 and can be suppressed by uptake-1 inhibitors. We studied effects of uptake-1 inhibitors on incidence of ventricular fibrillation (VF%) and myocardial contracture in perfused rat hearts under ischemic or anoxic conditions. NE release occurred in hearts during ischemia or anoxia and was largely inhibited by desipramine, imipramine, and cocaine. The generation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) during reperfusion also was abolished by desipramine. During anoxia/reoxygenation, VF (93 and 71%, respectively) and myocardial contracture occurred and were significantly inhibited by desipramine and by NE depletion. Regional ischemia and reperfusion induced high VF% (86 and 100%, respectively), which was reduced or abolished by desipramine and imipramine at 0.03 and 0.3 microM. During the ischemic phase, cocaine was similarly antiarrhythmic, as was a combination of timolol and prazosin, but NE depletion was not. In NE-depleted hearts, cocaine or the combination of timolol and prazosin showed limited effect on VF%, whereas both desipramine and imipramine abolished VF. In anesthetized rats in vivo, ischemic VF% was reduced by desipramine (30 vs. 92%; p < 0.01). In conclusion, uptake-1 inhibitors protect hearts against ischemia/reperfusion- and anoxia/reoxygenation-induced arrhythmias, partly because of the inhibition of locally mediated NE release. Other actions of desipramine and imipramine may contribute to the overall efficacy.

Abstract
Although lysophosphatidylcholine (lyso-PtdCho) accumulates in the sarcolemmal (SL) membrane and alters its function during myocardial ischemia and diabetic cardiomyopathy, the effects of lyso-PtdCho on SL signalling processes have not yet been investigated. The present study was carried out to examine the actions of lyso-PtdCho on the rat heart SL membrane enzymes involved in the phosphoinositide pathway. Different lyso-PtdCho species (10 to 200 microM) inhibited the activities of both phosphatidylinositol kinase and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate kinase in the SL membrane in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibitory potency of lyso-PtdCho compounds for phosphatidylinositol kinase was lyso-PtdCho plasmalogen > 1-oleoyl-lyso-PtdCho > 1-stearoyl-lyso-PtdCho > 1-palmitoyl-lyso-PtdCho, and that for phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate kinase was lyso-PtdCho plasmalogen > 1-oleoyl-lyso-PtdCho > 1-palmitoyl-lyso-PtdCho > 1-stearoyl-lyso-PtdCho. The inhibitory effect of lyso-PtdCho on phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate kinase was greater than that on phosphatidylinositol kinase. Lyso-PtdCho structural analogues, such as phosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidic acid, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, L-alpha-glycerophosphate, oleate and phosphorylcholine, did not affect the phosphoinositide kinases, suggesting that the intact structure of lyso-PtdCho was required for the inhibition of the kinases. The detrimental action of lyso-PtdCho on PtdIns kinase was potentiated by acidosis. Unlike Ca2+, ATP (0.1 and 4 mM) increased lyso-PtdCho-induced deactivation of the kinases. Both enzyme activities were found to be depressed in the ischemic-reperfused or diabetic hearts. None of the tested lyso-PtdCho species altered phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) hydrolysis by SL phospholipase C. These results indicate that accumulation of lyso-PtdCho in the SL membrane under pathological conditions may diminish the availability of the PtdIns(4,5)P2 substrate for the production of second messengers by receptor-linked phospholipase C.

Abstract
The effect of carbachol (CCh) on the Na/Ca exchange current (I(Na/Ca)) was studied in voltage-clamped ventricular myocytes isolated from guinea pig hearts and superfused with Tyrode solution at 35 degrees C. CCh (100 microM) increased outward current during depolarizations (10-200 ms) from -45 mV and tail current amplitude on repolarization; CCh had no effect on the L-type Ca2+ current. Amplitudes of the outward and tail currents declined with increasing duration of the depolarizing clamp pulse. Ouabain produced similar current changes that are suppressed by intrapipette ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid and are characteristic of I(Na/Ca). Depolarization from -80 to -30 mV elicited the rapid Na+ current followed by a slowly decaying inward I(Na/Ca) (J. C. Gilbert, T. Shirayama, and A. J. Pappano. Circ. Res. 69: 1632-1639, 1991.) that was reversibly increased by CCh. Atropine (1-3 microM) prevented the CCh effect. All procedures that suppressed I(Na/Ca) also suppressed the CCh effect. Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release participated in generating I(Na/Ca) because 10 mM caffeine or 1 microM ryanodine blocked I(Na/Ca) and the effect of CCh. Rapid superfusion of 10 mM caffeine induced inward I(Na/Ca) at -75 mV; a caffeine-induced charge transfer gives an SR Ca2+ content of 67 microM. CCh increased caffeine-induced current; SR Ca2+ content rose to 98 microM. CCh also augmented the amplitude of steady-state intracellular Ca2+ transients and contractions during a train of voltage-clamp pulses (-75 to 30 mV for 200 ms) at 1 Hz. CCh elevated intracellular Na+ (M. Korth and V. Kühlkamp. Pflügers Arch. 403: 266-272, 1985) by inducing a background Na+ current [K. Matsumoto and A. J. Pappano. J. Physiol. (Lond.) 415: 487-502, 1989]. Together with these data, the present results are consistent with the hypothesis that CCh, via muscarinic receptors, eventually promotes I(Na/Ca) at the sarcolemma through a mechanism that requires the SR and that this action accounts for the increased contractions.

Abstract
1. Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was examined in enzymatically isolated single guinea-pig ventricular myocytes by monitoring [Ca2+]i with fura-2 during whole-cell recording of action potentials at room temperature (23-25 degrees C). Modulation of Ca2+ release by the Na+ current (INa) was studied by manipulating Na+ influx through the Na+ channel. 2. For a comparable Ca2+ loading of the SR, brief hyperpolarizing currents applied at the peak of the action potential increased Ca2+ release, while depolarizing pulses had the opposite effect. Similar currents applied before the action potential did not affect Ca2+ release. 3. Application of tetrodotoxin (TTX; 60 microM) moderately reduced Ca2+ release from the SR, but this effect was delayed in comparison with the immediate block of INa. An early effect of TTX was to increase Ca2+ release. 4. Replacement of Na+ with Li did not reduce Ca2+ release, but led to a progressive increase in Ca2+ release, resulting in spontaneous activity. 5. Ca2+ channel blockers (CdCl2, 100 microM; nisoldipine, 20 microM; or nifedipine, 20 microM) drastically reduced Ca2+ release from the SR. 6. Voltage clamp experiments confirmed that TTX blocked INa and its associated [Ca2+]i transient during voltage steps from -90 to -50 mV. INa and its associated [Ca2+]i transient were equally suppressed following replacement of Na+ with N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG+), but the [Ca2+]i transient was not suppressed following replacement of Na+ with Li+. 7. The INa-associated transient was sensitive to Ca2+ channel blockers. During steps from -50 to 0 mV, it appeared that the dihydropyridine antagonists often did not provide full block of the calcium current (ICa). 8. During current clamp stimulation at 1 Hz in the presence of TTX (60 microM), the Ca2+ content of the SR was decreased, due to the changes in action potential configuration and to changes in [Na+]i. 9. Our experiments indicate that the Ca2+ entry coupled to Na+ influx via the Na+ channel does not contribute substantially to the trigger for Ca2+ release from the SR during action potentials (23-25 degrees C). However, INa modulates Ca2+ release by affecting the Ca2+ load of the SR.

Abstract
Activation of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors in neonatal cardiac myocytes results in changes in contractile activity and the induction of hypertrophic growth. The biochemical mechanisms responsible for these diverse effects are not yet established, but presumably involve the associated alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) hydrolysis, with concomitant generation of Ins 1,4,5-P3 and diacylglycerol. This study examined whether alpha 1-adrenergic generation of Ins 1,4,5-P3 in intact, quiescent, neonatal cardiac myocytes resulted in a Ca2+ signal. Stimulation of myocytes with norepinephrine in the presence of propranolol caused accumulation of inositol mono-, bis and trisphosphates. However, alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation did not alter cytosolic free Ca2+ levels in 85% of the myocytes examined. Direct generation of Ins 1,4,5-P3, by photolysis of microinjected caged Ins 1,4,5-P3, was also unable to alter cytosolic free Ca2+ levels, despite the presence of Ins 1,4,5-P3 receptors. Taken together, these data indicated that alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation did not initiate Ca2+ signaling because Ins 1,4,5-P3-induced Ca2+ mobilization was not operative in quiescent neonatal cardiac myocytes. Normal excitation-contraction Ca2+ handling mechanisms were present in these cells, as illustrated by depolarization- and caffeine-induced Ca2+ transients. Analysis of these same myocytes following 48 h in the presence of norepinephrine and propranolol showed a 40% increase in the ratio of protein to DNA and a 350% increase in release of atrial naturietic factor, compared to control cells, indicating the normal operation of alpha 1-adrenergic-induced hypertrophic growth. Therefore, the assumption that Ca(2+)-dependent processes will be activated by receptor signaling pathways coupled to enhanced phosphatidylinositol turnover in cardiac cells must be avoided. In addition, the data presented in this study clearly indicated that an increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ was not necessary for the induction of alpha 1-adrenergic-mediated cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Although there is increasing recognition that all inotropic agents are not alike, they continue to be viewed in the generic sense because of the lack of a classification system. Analogous to the classification system proposed for the antiarrhythmic agents over 20 years ago, a classification system is proposed that categorizes inotropic agents according to their mechanisms of action. Agents are classified as those that augment contractility by increasing intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (class I); affect ion channels or pumps (class II); modulate intracellular calcium regulation (class III), and augment contractility through multiple pathways (class IV). This classification system does not suggest that some classes of inotropic agents might be more effective than others nor does it imply that potential beneficial effects are shared by all members of each class of drugs. However, it provides a framework for better understanding of the potential benefits and limitations of the traditional inotropic agents as well as the increasing number of new investigational drugs.
