[Alteration of calcium uptake and Ca(2+)-ATPase activity of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum in rat during ischemia-reperfusion].
Using Langendorff's perfusion model of isolated rat heart, the effect of period of ischemia, ischemia-reperfusion and changes in perfusate pH on the function of calcium uptake of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was observed. The initial rate and capacity of calcium uptake by SR decreased significantly after 25 min ischemia, and were further worsened when ischemia was prolonged to 40 min. When hearts were subjected to 15 min reperfusion after 25 min ischemia, calcium uptake capacity and initial rate decreased even more in comparison with that of 40 min ischemia. In addition, the calcium dependent ATPase activity of SR was also markedly inhibited. Reperfusion with acid (pH 6.8) or alkaline (pH 8.0) made no significant difference on the aforementioned reperfusion induced changes. The results indicated that myocardial ischemia depressed the calcium transport activity of SR, and this depression was further aggravated with prolonging ischemia. Reperfusion after ischemia exacerbated the ischemic injury. Reperfusion with either acid or alkaline Krebs-Henseleit solution could not improve the calcium uptake function of SR, implying that the pH change does not seem to be an important factor in inducing the SR dysfunction during ischemia-reperfusion.
