[Specific limitations for intracellular diffusion of ADP in cardiomyocytes].
Isolated cardiomyocytes and bundles of cardiac fibers were studied after lysis of their sarcolemma by saponin (40-50 micrograms/ml). 60-70% of cardiomyocytes were rod-like and Ca2(+)-tolerant. The kinetics of stimulation of oxidative phosphorylation by ADP and creatine via the mitochondrial creatine kinase reaction: MgATP + creatine----MgADP + phosphocreatine, was investigated after perforation of sarcolemma. The criterion for sarcolemmal perforation was an almost complete (80-100%) leakage of lactate dehydrogenase. It was shown that the Km values for ADP during stimulation of oxidative phosphorylation in cardiomyocytes are 250 +/- 39 microM (264 +/- 57 microM in cardiac bundles) which exceeds by one order of magnitude the Km value for ADP in isolated mitochondria (18 +/- 5 microM). On the contrary, Km for creatine is the same for all preparations studied (6-6.9 mM). The data obtained suggest the absence of diffusion difficulties for creatine inside the cells. In contrast, intracellular diffusion of ADP is restricted, most probably, dye to its binding to intracellular structures. These data emphasize the crucial role of the creatine kinase system in energy transfer processes. In the presence of 25 mM creatine Km for ADP is decreased to 36 +/- 6 mM due to a manyfold use of ADP in the coupled creatine kinase-oxidative phosphorylation reaction occurring in mitochondria.
