Fura-2 was used to measure the amount of Ca released from the intracellular Ca store of a saponin-skinned smooth muscle fiber bundle of the guinea pig taenia caeci (width, 150-250 microns) placed in a capillary cuvette at 20-22 degrees C. The amount of Ca actively loaded into the store was assayed when released by the application of 50 mM caffeine and/or 10 microM inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) in the absence of ATP, and was found to have a biphasic dependence on the loading [Ca2+] with a peak near pCa 6. After Ca loading at pCa 6, IP3 released almost all the releasable Ca, whereas caffeine discharged Ca from only approximately 40% of the store. The maximum amount of Ca in the store was some 220 mumol/liter cell water. Ca in the caffeine-releasable store was released approximately exponentially to zero with time when Ca2+ was applied in the absence of ATP, and the rate constant of the Ca-induced Ca release (CICR) increased steeply with the concentration of Ca2+ applied. Increase in [Mg2+] (0.5-5.0 mM) or decrease in pH (7.3-6.7) shifted the relation between pCa and the rate of CICR roughly in parallel toward the lower pCa. An adenine nucleotide increased the rate of the CICR, but it did not change the range of effective [Ca2+]. 5 mM caffeine greatly enhanced the CICR mechanism, making it approximately 30 times more sensitive to [Ca2+]. However the drug had no Ca-releasing action in the absence of Ca2+. Procaine in millimolar concentrations inhibited the rate of the CICR. These properties are similar to those of the skeletal muscle CICR and ryanodine receptor channels. Rates of the CICR under a physiological ionic milieu were estimated from the results, and a [Ca2+] greater than 1 microM was expected to be necessary for the activation of the Ca release. This Ca sensitivity seems too low for the CICR mechanism to play a primary physiological role in Ca mobilization, unless assisted by other mechanisms.

Calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) has been observed in cardiac myocytes as elementary calcium release events (calcium sparks) associated with the opening of L-type Ca2+ channels. In heart cells, a tight coupling between the gating of single L-type Ca2+ channels and ryanodine receptors (RYRs) underlies calcium release. Here we demonstrate that L-type Ca2+ channels activate RYRs to produce CICR in smooth muscle cells in the form of Ca2+ sparks and propagated Ca2+ waves. However, unlike CICR in cardiac muscle, RYR channel opening is not tightly linked to the gating of L-type Ca2+ channels. L-type Ca2+ channels can open without triggering Ca2+ sparks and triggered Ca2+ sparks are often observed after channel closure. CICR is a function of the net flux of Ca2+ ions into the cytosol, rather than the single channel amplitude of L-type Ca2+ channels. Moreover, unlike CICR in striated muscle, calcium release is completely eliminated by cytosolic calcium buffering. Thus, L-type Ca2+ channels are loosely coupled to RYR through an increase in global [Ca2+] due to an increase in the effective distance between L-type Ca2+ channels and RYR, resulting in an uncoupling of the obligate relationship that exists in striated muscle between the action potential and calcium release.

Several types of reagents that react with amino acid side chains induced repetitive phasic contracture of skinned skeletal muscle from frogs. The presence of 10 mM procaine or 5 mM magnesium in the medium or disruption of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) eliminated this contracture, indicating that the calcium-induced calcium-release mechanism of SR is involved in the contraction. Dithiothreitol inhibited the contracture induced by chloramine T, N-acetylimidazole, or p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonic acid (pCMPS) but not in the case of carbodiimide, phenylglyoxal, trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid, diethylpyrocarbonate (DEP), or N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS). Therefore, modification of groups other than the sulfhydryl ones seems to induce contractures under such conditions. The amplitude of the caffeine-induced contracture decreased after treatment with pCMPS, DEP, or NCS. NCS shifted the pCa–tension curve toward low pCa in the SR-disrupted fibers. This shift would explain the decrease in caffeine contracture. It is tentatively concluded that pCMPS and DEP release a large amount of calcium from SR.

The putative voltage-sensitive release mechanism (VSRM) was investigated in rabbit cardiac myocytes at 37°C with high resistance microelectrodes to minimize intracellular dialysis. When the holding potential was adjusted from −40 to −60 mV, the putative VSRM was expected to operate alongside CICR. Under these conditions however, we did not observe a plateau at positive potentials of the cell shortening versus voltage relationship. The threshold for cell shortening changed by −10 mV, but this resulted from a similar change of the threshold for activation of inward current. Cell shortening under conditions where the putative VSRM was expected to operate was blocked in a dose dependent way by nifedipine and CdCl2 and blocked completely by NiCl2. “Tail contractions” persisted in the presence of nifedipine and CdCl2 but were blocked completely by NiCl2. Block of early outward current by 4-aminopyridine and 4-acetoamido-4′-isothiocyanato-stilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid (SITS) demonstrated persisting inward current during test depolarizations despite the presence of nifedipine and CdCl2. Inward current did not persist in the presence of NiCl2. A tonic component of cell shortening that was prominent during depolarizations to positive potentials under conditions selective for the putative VSRM was sensitive to rapidly applied changes in superfusate [Na+] and to the outward Na+/Ca2+ exchange current blocking drug KB-R7943. This component of cell shortening was thought to be the result of Na+/Ca2+ exchange–mediated excitation contraction coupling. Cell shortening recorded under conditions selective for the putative VSRM was increased by the enhanced state of phosphorylation induced by isoprenaline (1 μM) and by enhancing sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ content by manipulation of the conditioning steps. Under these conditions, cell shortening at positive test depolarizations was converted from tonic to phasic. We conclude that the putative VSRM is explained by CICR with the Ca2+ “trigger” supplied by unblocked L-type Ca2+ channels and Na+/Ca2+ exchange.
