Na+/Ca2+ exchange is the primary mechanism mediating Ca2+ efflux from cardiac myocytes during diastole and, thus, can prominently influence contractile force. In addition to transporting Na+ and Ca2+, the exchanger is also regulated by these ions. Although structure-function studies have identified protein regions of the exchanger subserving these regulatory processes, their physiological importance is unknown. In this study, we examined the electrophysiological and mechanical consequences of cardiospecific overexpression of the canine cardiac exchanger NCX1.1 and a deletion mutant of NCX1.1 (Delta680-685), devoid of intracellular Na+ (Na+i)- and Ca2+ (Ca2+i)- dependent regulatory properties, in transgenic mice. Using the giant excised patch-clamp technique, normal ionic regulation was observed in membrane patches from cardiomyocytes isolated from control and transgenic mice overexpressing NCX1.1. In contrast, ionic regulation was nearly abolished in mice overexpressing Delta680-685, indicating that the native regulatory processes could be overwhelmed by expression of the transgene. To address the physiological consequences of ionic regulation of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, we examined postrest force development in papillary muscles from NCX1.1 and Delta680-685 transgenic mice. Postrest potentiation was found to be substantially greater in Delta680-685 than in NCX1.1 transgenic mice, supporting the notion that ionic regulation of Na+/Ca2+ exchange plays a significant functional role in cardiac contractile properties.
