Pretreatment with S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) enhances Ca2+ transient response to isoproterenol in CaMKIIδ (Ca2+/calmodulin kinase II delta)-C273S cardiomyocytes. Ca2+ transients from wild-type (WT) and CaMKIIδ C273S cardiomyocytes from were recorded at 0.5 Hz under control conditions and with 100 nmol/L ISO or with pretreatment of 150 μM GSNO before ISO exposure. Mean Ca2+ transient amplitude (A) and decay (B) data in response to ISO with control KRH buffer (white bars; WT: n=28 cells, N=14 hearts; CaMKIIδ-C273S: n=24 cells, N=14 hearts) or when pretreated with GSNO (gray bars; WT: n=18 cells, N=7 hearts; CaMKIIδ-C273S: n=24, N=9 hearts). Representative line-scans from quiescent WT (C) and CaMKIIδ-C273S (D) cardiomyocytes under control conditions and with ISO or with pretreatment of GSNO before ISO exposure. Mean Ca2+ spark frequency (E) data are shown for cardiomyocytes in response to ISO with control buffer (white bars; WT: n=31 cells, N=14 hearts; CaMKIIδ-C273S: n=24 cells, N=9 hearts) or when pretreated with GSNO (gray bars; WT: n=16 cells, N=7 hearts; CaMKIIδ-C273S: n=25 cells, N=9 hearts). Percentage of cardiomyocytes exhibiting Ca2+ waves in quiescent WT and CaMKIIδ-C273S cardiomyocytes (F). ɸP<0.05 compared with WT ISO, aP=0.0002 vs CaMKIIδ-C273S ISO, bP<0.0001 vs WT ISO with GSNO pretreatment.
