This study investigates the contribution of Ca2+ entry via sarcolemmal (SL) Ca2+ channels to the Ca2+ transient and its relationship with sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ content during steady-state contraction in guinea pig and rat ventricular myocytes. The action potential clamp technique was used to obtain physiologically relevant changes in membrane potential. A method is shown that allows calculation of Ca2+ entry through the SL Ca2+ channels by measuring Cd(2+)-sensitive current during the whole cardiac cycle. SR Ca2+ content was calculated from caffeine-induced transient inward current. In guinea pig cardiac myocytes stimulated at 0.5 Hz and 0.2 Hz, Ca2+ entry through SL Ca2+ channels during a cardiac cycle was approximately 30% and approximately 50%, respectively, of the SR Ca2+ content. In rat myocytes Ca2+ entry via SL Ca2+ channels at 0.5 Hz was approximately 3.5% of the SR Ca2+ content. In the presence of 500 nM thapsigargin Ca2+ entry via SL Ca2+ channels in guinea pig cardiac cells was 39% greater than in controls, suggesting a larger contribution of this mechanism to the Ca2+ transient when the SR is depleted of Ca2+. These results provide quantitative support to the understanding of the relationship between Ca2+ entry and the SR Ca2+ content and may help to explain differences in the Ca2+ handling observed in different species.
