Ca-induced Calcium-Release in a Rat Ventricular Cell ---- A Model Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computer model is developed for the characterization of Ca2+-induced calcium release (CICR) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in the rat ventricular cell. The fluid compartment model is configured to describe the trigger Ca2+ influx (ICa,L) through the membrane of the sarcolemma (SL); the diffusion of Ca2+ throughout a small cleft space, which is located between the SL and the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (jSR); and a distribution of five ryanodine (Ry)-sensitive Ca2+ release channels called the "Ca2+-release complex". Each Ry-receptor controlled channel (or RyR channel) is characterized by a 4-state Markovian kinetic scheme. Two Ca2+ ions are required to bind to RyR for channel activation, and one Ca2+ ion is required for channel inactivation. The model provides both sufficient Ca2+-release gain and graded release behavior. The complete model is used to simulate the whole-cell Ca2+ transient data, evoked in voltage clamp test. We also studied the linear relationship between the rising rate of the Ca2+ transients and the peak trigger ICa,L. The model results suggest that this relationship is the indirect result of 2nd-order RyR activation dynamics, filtered by fluorescent indicator dye.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of stimulating calcium induced Ca release with low concentrations (100-200 microM) of caffeine and, in particular, to study the cellular mechanisms responsible for the transient responses found previously. METHODS Experiments were performed on isolated rat ventricular myocytes. Intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured with Indo-1, the cel...

This study aimed to explore and validate a new juvenile osteopenic (JO) rat model then examine the efficacy of moghat (Glossostemon bruguieri) as an alternative reversal therapy for JO. Phytochemical screening analysis showed that moghat contains 5.8% alkaloids, 1.5% flavonoids and 13.2% total phenols. Juvenile osteopenia was induced in 15 days old Sprague- Dawley female rats by feeding them fr...

متن کاملA simulation study of calcium release channel
The IP3R calcium release channel has been simulated using a stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA;Gillespie algorithm) and De young-Keiser model. A set of different concentration for Cat' and IP3 havebeen used. Considering the Number of molecules in each state, a non linear behavior of the system can beseen clearly. The inhibiting role of the Ca+2 on the open state (X110) has been studied. The d...

Coordinated release of calcium (Ca(2+) ) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) through cardiac ryanodine receptor (RYR2) channels is essential for cardiomyocyte function. In catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), an inherited disease characterized by stress-induced ventricular arrhythmias in young patients with structurally normal hearts, autosomal dominant mutations in RY...
