Abstract Sudden Ca2+ removal from isometrically contracting cardiac myofibrils induces a biphasic relaxation: first a slow, linear force decline during which sarcomeres remain isometric and then a rapid, exponential decay originating from sequential lengthening, i.e., successive mechanical relaxation, of individual sarcomeres (Stehle et al. 2002; Biophys J 83:2152–2162). Step-stretches were applied to the myofibrils, in order to study the mechanical properties of sarcomeres during this dynamic relaxation process. Stretch applied soon (∼10 ms) after Ca2+ removal accelerated the initiation of the rapid, exponential force decay and of the sequential sarcomere lengthening. After the stretch, a short, transient period (∼24 ms) remained, during which time force was enhanced and sarcomeres were homogenously elongated by the stretch. This period was similar to the duration of the switching-off of troponin C in myofibrils, as measured by stopped-flow. In contrast, when the stretch was applied during the rapid, exponential relaxation phase, force quickly decayed after stretch, back to the force level of isometric controls or even lower. Smaller stretches lengthened only those sarcomeres that were located at the wave front of the sequential sarcomere relaxation. The more the stretch-size was increased, the more of the contracting sarcomeres became lengthened by the stretch; those sarcomeres that were relaxed prior to stretch were barely elongated. These results indicate that the stretch accelerates myofibrillar relaxation by forcing the cross-bridges in contracting sarcomeres to detach. Subsequent rapid cross-bridge reattachment occurs during a short period after Ca2+ removal until troponin C is switched off. However, this switch off occurs ∼5 times too fast to directly rate-limit the force relaxation under the isometric condition. After troponin C is switched off, stretching induces cross-bridge detachment without subsequent reattachment, and force rapidly decays below the isometric level. This may explain the rapid distention of the ventricular myocardium during early diastolic filling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
