- Abstract
- Mitochondrial ability of shaping Ca2+ signals has been demonstrated
in a large number of cell types, but it is still debated in
heart cells. Here, we take advantage of the molecular identification
of the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU) and of unique
targeted Ca2+ probes to directly address this issue. We demonstrate
that, during spontaneous Ca2+ pacing, Ca2+ peaks on the
outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) are much greater than in
the cytoplasm because of a large number of Ca2+ hot spots generated
on the OMM surface. Cytoplasmic Ca2+ peaks are reduced
or enhanced by MCU overexpression and siRNA silencing, respectively;
the opposite occurs within the mitochondrial matrix. Accordingly,
the extent of contraction is reduced by overexpression
of MCU and augmented by its down-regulation. Modulation of
MCU levels does not affect the ATP content of the cardiomyocytes.
Thus, in neonatal cardiac myocytes, mitochondria significantly contribute
to buffering the amplitude of systolic Ca2+ rises. (literal)
