Spatiotemporal Dynamics of β-Adrenergic cAMP Signals and L-Type Ca2+ Channel Regulation in Adult Rat Ventricular Myocytes by Leroy, Jerome

“…Steady-state activation of cardiac β-adrenergic receptors leads to an intracellular compartmentation of cAMP resulting from localized cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity. To evaluate the time course of the cAMP changes in the different compartments, brief (15 seconds) pulses of isoprenaline (100 nmol/L) were applied to adult rat ventricular myocytes (ARVMs) while monitoring cAMP changes beneath the membrane using engineered cyclic nucleotide-gated channels and within the cytosol with the fluorescence resonance energy transfer–based sensor, Epac2-camps. cAMP kinetics in the two compartments were compared to the time course of the L-type Ca2+ channel current (ICa,L) amplitude. …”
