Myocytes isolated from rat hearts that have suffered 35% myocardial infarction (MI) 3 wk prior have lower peak cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) during contraction compared with Sham myocytes, a difference that is amplified by isoproterenol or high extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]o). To evaluate whether reduced [Ca2+]i in MI myocytes is due to decreased Ca2+ entry, we measured [3H]PN-200-110 [dihydropyridine (DHP)] binding and whole cell Ca2+ current (ICa). DHP binding decreased in both sarcolemmal vesicles and intact myocytes from hearts 3 wk after MI. In contrast, ICa was not different between Sham and MI myocytes incubated at 1.8 mM [Ca2+]o. At 5.0 mM [Ca2+]o, ICa increased similarly in Sham and MI myocytes. Steady-state voltage dependence of activation and inactivation were similar between Sham and MI myocytes, as were the fast- and slow-inactivation time constants. Isoproterenol (1 microM) significantly increased ICa in Sham but not in MI myocytes. Forskolin (10 microM) dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (5 mM) significantly increased ICa in MI myocytes; the magnitude of ICa increase was similar to that observed in Sham myocytes. We conclude that 1) decreased systolic [Ca2+]i in MI myocytes was not due to reduced Ca2+ entry via L-type Ca2+ channels; 2) discrepancy between DHP binding (decrease) and ICa (no change) results may be explained by higher channel availability and/or increased long-opening modes (mode 2) in MI myocytes; 3) reduction in isoproterenol-induced [Ca2+]i increase in MI myocytes was partly due to decreased ICa, resulting in less Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum; 4) the adenylate cyclase-protein kinase A signal-transduction pathway functioned normally in MI myocytes; and 5) decreased beta-adrenergic responsiveness in MI myocytes was likely due to altered coupling by G proteins.
