Diabetes rapidly induces contractile dysfunctions in isolated ventricular myocytes

J. Ren and A. J. Davidoff
Department of Internal Medicine, Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, Michigan 48201, USA.

To determine whether diabetes-induced cardiac dysfunction is due to contractile dysfunction at the single-cell level, mechanical properties and Ca2+ transients were evaluated in ventricular myocytes isolated from diabetic rats. Rats were made diabetic by injection with streptozotocin and killed either 4-6 days or 8 wk after treatment. Shortening and relengthening (twitch) properties were evaluated in isolated myocytes with a high-resolution (120-Hz) video-based edge-detection system during electrical stimulation between 0.1 and 5 Hz. A separate cohort of myocytes was loaded with fura 2 to assess intracellular Ga2+ transients. Long-term (8-wk) but not short-term (4- to 6-day) diabetes depressed peak twitch amplitude. Diabetes markedly prolonged both the contraction and relaxation phases from both diabetic models. Additionally, 35% of the long-term diabetic myocytes could not pace at 5 Hz, and 48% of the short-term diabetic myocytes developed a hypercontracture at that frequency. Intracellular Ca2+ measurements showed slower Ca(2+)-transient decays in myocytes from short-term diabetic rats. These data demonstrate that contractile dysfunction seen in the diabetic heart is due, in part, to abnormalities of the myocyte. Furthermore, these abnormalities are present after only 4-6 days of diabetes, suggesting a rapid alteration in the processes regulating myocyte shortening and relengthening, which likely include impaired Ca2+ sequestration or extrusion.
