Size Matters: Ryanodine Receptor Cluster Size Affects Arrhythmogenic Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Release
Ryanodine receptors (RyR) mediate sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium (Ca ) release and influence myocyte Ca homeostasis and arrhythmias. In cardiac myocytes, RyRs are found in clusters of various sizes and shapes, and RyR cluster size may critically influence normal and arrhythmogenic Ca spark and wave...

Zusammenfassung: | Ryanodine receptors (RyR) mediate sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium (Ca
) release and influence myocyte Ca
homeostasis and arrhythmias. In cardiac myocytes, RyRs are found in clusters of various sizes and shapes, and RyR cluster size may critically influence normal and arrhythmogenic Ca
spark and wave formation. However, the actual RyR cluster sizes at specific Ca
spark sites have never been measured in the physiological setting.
Here we measured RyR cluster size and Ca
sparks simultaneously to assess how RyR cluster size influences Ca
sparks and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca
leak. For small RyR cluster sizes ( |
