Beta-adrenergic signaling accelerates and synchronizes cardiac ryanodine receptor response to a single L-type Ca2+ channel

As the most prototypical G protein-coupled receptor, beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) regulates the pace and strength of heart beating by enhancing and synchronizing L-type channel (LCC) Ca(2+) influx, which in turn elicits greater sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) release flux via ryanodine receptors (RyRs). However, whether and how betaAR-protein kinase A (PKA) signaling directly modulates RyR function remains elusive and highly controversial. By using unique single-channel Ca(2+) imaging technology, we measured the response of a single RyR Ca(2+) release unit, in the form of a Ca(2+) spark, to its native trigger, the Ca(2+) sparklet from a single LCC. We found that acute application of the selective betaAR agonist isoproterenol (1 microM, < or = 20 min) increased triggered spark amplitude in an LCC unitary current-independent manner. The increased ratio of Ca(2+) release flux underlying a Ca(2+) spark to SR Ca(2+) content indicated that betaAR stimulation helps to recruit additional RyRs in synchrony. Quantification of sparklet-spark kinetics showed that betaAR stimulation synchronized the stochastic latency and increased the fidelity (i.e., chance of hit) of LCC-RyR intermolecular signaling. The RyR modulation was independent of the increased SR Ca(2+) content. The PKA antagonists Rp-8-CPT-cAMP (100 microM) and H89 (10 microM) both eliminated these effects, indicating that betaAR acutely modulates RyR activation via the PKA pathway. These results demonstrate unequivocally that RyR activation by a single LCC is accelerated and synchronized during betaAR stimulation. This molecular mechanism of sympathetic regulation will permit more fundamental studies of altered betaAR effects in cardiovascular diseases.
