Using arsenazo III as an intracellular indicator to monitor the calcium transients elicited by voltage-clamp depolarizing pulse, the effect of prolonged in vitro lithium treatment on excitation--contraction coupling in frog twitch muscle fibres was investigated. Incubation in 10 mM Li+ Ringer's solution for 2 days caused a 46% increase in the amplitude of the calcium transients, while treatment with 30 mM Li+ for 2 days produced a depression of 44%. Shortening the bathing time to 1 day, the decrease of calcium transients caused by 30 mM Li+ was reversed to a small increase. For the 2-day incubation, both the increase in the amplitude with 10 mM and the decrease with 30 mM Li+ were abolished by the presence of 1 mM myo-inositol in the bathing medium. These results imply that the turnover of inositol phospholipids is involved in regulating excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle fibres.
以偶氮胂III作为细胞内指示剂来监测电压钳去极化脉冲引发的钙瞬变,研究了体外长时间锂处理对青蛙单收缩肌纤维兴奋 - 收缩偶联的影响。在含10 mM Li⁺的林格氏溶液中孵育2天,导致钙瞬变幅度增加46%,而用30 mM Li⁺处理2天则产生44%的降低。将孵育时间缩短至1天,30 mM Li⁺引起的钙瞬变减少转变为小幅增加。对于2天的孵育,在孵育介质中存在1 mM肌醇时,10 mM Li⁺引起的幅度增加和30 mM Li⁺引起的降低均被消除。这些结果表明,肌醇磷脂的周转参与调节骨骼肌纤维中的兴奋 - 收缩偶联。
