The Difference

The altered caffeine sensitivity of malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (MHS) muscle contracture is one basis of the diagnostic test for this syndrome. To determine whether the Arg615-to-Cys615 mutation of the porcine sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release channel is directly responsible for this altered caffeine sensitivity, the single-channel kinetics of purified MHS and normal pig Ca2+ release channels were examined. Initial studies demonstrated that decreasing the pH of the medium in either the cis- or trans-chamber decreased the Ca2+ release channel percent open time (Po). The half-inhibitory pH of MHS channels (6.86 +/- 0.04, n = 17) was significantly different from that of normal channels (7.08 +/- 0.07, n = 14). At pH 7.4, in either 7 or 0.12 microM Ca2+, MHS channel Po was not significantly different from that of normal channels over the range 0-10 mM caffeine. Although at pH 6.8 in 7 microM Ca2+ MHS channel Po was greater than that of normal channels over the range 0-20 mM caffeine, the difference could be eliminated by dividing each mean MHS Po by a scaling factor of 3.2. Thus the MHS Ca2+ release channel mutation does not appear to be directly responsible for the altered caffeine sensitivity of MHS pig muscle contracture. Rather, this altered caffeine sensitivity may result from an altered resting myoplasmic Ca2+ concentration or the altered pH and Ca2+ sensitivity of Ca2+ release channel Po of MHS muscle.

Cam Regulation

Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of malignant-hyperthermia-susceptible (MHS) muscle is hypersensitive to Ca2+ and caffeine. To determine if an abnormal calmodulin (CaM) regulation of the SR Ca2+-release-channel-ryanodine-receptor complex (RYR1) contributes to this hypersensitivity, we investigated the effect of CaM on high-affinity [3H]ryanodine binding to isolated SR vesicles from normal and MHS pig skeletal muscle. CaM modulated [3H]ryanodine binding in a Ca2+-dependent manner. In the presence of maximally activating Ca2+ concentrations, CaM inhibited [3H]ryanodine binding with no differences between normal and MHS vesicles. In the absence of Ca2+, however, CaM activated [3H]ryanodine binding with a 2-fold-higher potency in MHS vesicles. Significant differences between normal and MHS tissue were observed for CaM concentrations between 50 nM and 10 µM. A polyclonal antibody raised against the central region of RYR1 specifically inhibited this activating effect of CaM without affecting the inhibition by CaM. This indicates that the central region of RYR1 is a potential binding domain for CaM in the absence of Ca2+. It is suggested that in vivo an enhanced CaM sensitivity of RYR1 might contribute to the abnormal high release of Ca2+ from the SR of MHS muscle.

When sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles prepared from frog skeletal muscles were actively loaded with Ca2+, pretreatment of the SR with 2.2 mM (0.01%) ethanol for 30 s significantly potentiated 5 mM caffeine-induced release of Ca2+ from 16.7 +/- 3.7 nmol/mg protein in control without ethanol to 28.0 +/- 2.6 nmol/mg (P < 0.05, n = 5). Ethanol alone caused no release of Ca2+ from the SR. Exposure of the Ca2+-release channel, incorporated into planar lipid bilayers, to 2 mM caffeine significantly increased open probability (Po) and mean open time, but unitary conductance was not affected. Ethanol (2.2 mM) enhanced caffeine-induced Ca2+-release channel activity, with Po reaching 3.02-fold and mean open time 2.85-fold the values in the absence of ethanol. However, ethanol alone did not affect electrical parameters of single-channel current, over a concentration range of 2.2 mM (0.01%) to 217 mM (1%). The synergistic action of ethanol and caffeine on the channel activity could be attributable to enhancement of caffeine-induced release of Ca2+ from the SR vesicles in the presence of ethanol.

Membrane Defect

In search of a general membrane defect hypothesis for malignant hyperthermia syndrome, we analysed the lipid profiles of heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes isolated from normal and malignant hyperthermia longissimus dorsi pig muscle. Malignant hyperthermia susceptibility was assessed by halothane challenge of pigs. Sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes from malignant hyperthermia susceptible pigs differed significantly from control ones in the cholesterol content and phosphatidylethanolamine/phosphatidylcholine ratio; both were higher in former membranes. These latter lipid modifications were in agreement with the significant increase of their bulk lipid viscosity, as evidenced by an increase of diphenyl hexatriene fluorescence anisotropy. The increased level of phosphatidylethanolamine associated with the decreased content of phosphatidylcholine in malignant hyperthermic membranes was shown to be a potential consequence of depressed activities of both phospholipid N-methyltransferase I and II activities. Finally, the distribution of fatty acids in these particular phospholipids showed no change in phosphatidylcholine molecules, whereas the percentage of arachidonate and stearate in the phosphatidylethanolamine species were respectively higher and lower in malignant hyperthermic membranes. These differences in major phospholipids content and the enrichment of a metabolically important fatty acyl chains in malignant hyperthermia sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes strongly suggest that the lipid metabolism may contribute to the molecular mechanism of malignant hyperthermia syndrome.Key words: malignant hyperthermia, sacroplasmic reticulum, ryanodine, phospholipid N-methyltransferase, fluidity.

Background A defect in the ryanodine (Ry1) receptor Ca2+ channel has been implicated as one of the possible underlying causes of malignant hyperthermia (MH), a pharmacogenetic disorder characterized by sustained muscle contracture. The disease is triggered by common halogenated anesthetics and skeletal muscle relaxants, such as succinylcholine. This study tested whether the functional properties of the Ry1 receptor Ca2+ channel are affected by chlorocresol, a preservative added to a commercial preparation of succinylcholine (Midarine) and other parenteral compounds. Methods In vitro contracture testing was carried out on muscle biopsies from malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (MHS) and -negative (MHN) individual according to the protocol of the European MH group. Ca2+ flux studies on isolated rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum fractions were measured spectrophotometrically by following the A710-790 of the Ca2+ indicator antipyrylazo III. Results Chlorocresol causes muscle contracture in MHS muscles at a concentration of 25-50 microM and potentiates the caffeine contracture response in human MHS muscles. Sub-threshold (20 microM) concentrations of chlorocresol increase both the Kd and the Vmax of caffeine-induced Ca2+ release from isolated rabbit terminal cisternae. Conclusions These data suggest that, in muscle from MHS individuals, the enhanced Ca2+ released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum may not be due to the effect of succinylcholine alone but rather to the action of the preservative chlorocresol added to the drug.

Malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (MHS) pigs homozygous for the Cys615 ryanodine receptor allele demonstrate altered sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) ryanodine binding and Ca2+ release channel regulatory properties when compared with normal pigs homozygous for the Arg615 allele. While solubilized in 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate, the purified MHS and normal ryanodine receptors had a similar dissociation constant (Kd) for ryanodine, maximum binding, and Ca2+ concentration for half-maximal stimulation and inhibition of ryanodine binding (Ca2+(0.5)); however, after reconstitution into proteoliposomes, the purified MHS and normal receptors had Kd values for ryanodine of 75 and 150 nM, respectively, which were significantly different. The purified MHS and normal porcine ryanodine receptors also had similar single-channel Cs+ conductance, optimal cis-Ca2+ for channel opening, and cis-Ca2+(0.5) for channel activation. Significantly, at inactivating levels of cis-Ca2+ (> 0.1 mM), MHS channels had a greater open probability, a higher cis-Ca2+(0.5) for inhibition of channel opening (250 vs. 75 microM for MHS and normal, respectively), longer mean open times, and shorter mean closed times than did normal channels. We conclude that the mutation at residue 615 causes a detectable alteration in ryanodine receptor/Ca2+ channel activity and thus may represent the primary defect responsible for the altered SR Ca2+ regulation characteristic of MHS porcine muscle.

The binding of ryanodine to a high affinity site on the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-release channel results in a dramatic alteration in both gating and ion handling; the channel enters a high open probability, reduced-conductance state. Once bound, ryanodine does not dissociate from its site within the time frame of a single channel experiment. In this report, we describe the interactions of a synthetic ryanoid, 21-amino-9α-hydroxy-ryanodine, with the high affinity ryanodine binding site on the sheep cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-release channel. The interaction of 21-amino-9α-hydroxy-ryanodine with the channel induces the occurrence of a characteristic high open probability, reduced-conductance state; however, in contrast to ryanodine, the interaction of this ryanoid with the channel is reversible under steady state conditions, with dwell times in the modified state lasting seconds. By monitoring the reversible interaction of this ryanoid with single channels under voltage clamp conditions, we have established a number of novel features of the ryanoid binding reaction. (a) Modification of channel function occurs when a single molecule of ryanoid binds to the channel protein. (b) The ryanoid has access to its binding site only from the cytosolic side of the channel and the site is available only when the channel is open. (c) The interaction of 21-amino-9α-hydroxy-ryanodine with its binding site is influenced strongly by transmembrane voltage. We suggest that this voltage dependence is derived from a voltage-driven conformational alteration of the channel protein that changes the affinity of the binding site, rather than the translocation of the ryanoid into the voltage drop across the channel.

Favero, Terence G., Anthony C. Zable, David Colter, and Jonathan J. Abramson. Lactate inhibits Ca2+-activated Ca2+-channel activity from skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(2): 447–452, 1997.—Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-release channel function is modified by ligands that are generated during about of exercise. We have examined the effects of lactate on Ca2+- and caffeine-stimulated Ca2+ release, [3H]ryanodine binding, and single Ca2+-release channel activity of SR isolated from rabbit white skeletal muscle. Lactate, at concentrations from 10 to 30 mM, inhibited Ca2+- and caffeine-stimulated [3H]ryanodine binding to and inhibited Ca2+- and caffeine-stimulated Ca2+ release from SR vesicles. Lactate also inhibited caffeine activation of single-channel activity in bilayer reconstitution experiments. These findings suggest that intense muscle activity, which generates high concentrations of lactate, will disrupt excitation-contraction coupling. This may lead to decreases in Ca2+ transients promoting a decline in tension development and contribute to muscle fatigue.

Stimulation Of

Triad vesicles were isolated from normal (N) and homozygous malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (MHS) porcine skeletal muscle, and two types of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release were investigated: 1) polylysine-induced Ca2+ release (direct stimulation of the junctional foot protein), and 2) depolarization-induced Ca2+ release (stimulation of the junctional foot protein via the dihydropyridine receptor). At submaximal concentrations of polylysine, the rates of induced Ca2+ release from the MHS triads were greater than from normal triads. The T tubules of polarized triads were depolarized by the K(+)-to-Na+ ionic replacement protocol. Higher grades of T-tubule depolarization resulted in higher rates of Ca2+ release from both MHS and normal triads but, when compared at a given grade of T-tubule depolarization, the release rate was always greater from the MHS than from normal triads. Thus the activity of the SR Ca2+ release channel is always higher in MHS than in normal muscle at a given submaximal dose of release trigger. This difference is observed when the channel is stimulated directly by polylysine or indirectly via a depolarization-induced activation of the T-tubule dihydropyridine receptor.
