Effects of ryanodine on skeletal muscle lactate and pyruvate in malignant hyperthermia-susceptible and normal swine as assessed by microdialysis.
    European journal of anaesthesiology, 2008, Volume: 25, Issue:1

    The caffeine/halothane contracture test in North America and the in vitro contracture test in Europe are currently the only validated bioassays for diagnosing malignant hyperthermia susceptibility and phenotyping families. Both tests are invasive requiring surgical muscle biopsy. Here, we report first use of the selective ryanodine receptor type I agonist ryanodine in a percutaneous microdialysis protocol designed to test whether microdialysis-induced local metabolic responses of skeletal muscle due to ryanodine receptor activation can differentiate between malignant hyperthermia-sensitive and normal pigs.. Six microdialysis catheters were implanted percutaneously into the adductor muscles of the right and left thighs of malignant hyperthermia-susceptible (n = 9) and normal (n = 8) anaesthetized (ketamine/propofol) and mechanically ventilated swine. Systemic blood gases, haemodynamic parameters and creatine kinase levels were measured before, during and after microdialysis perfusion of ryanodine. After a post-implantation equilibration period of 30 min, one catheter perfused (2 micro min-1) with 0.9% NaCl (control) and was compared with the remaining five catheters perfused with increasing concentrations of ryanodine (0.2-100 micromol). Lactate and pyruvate levels were measured enzymatically.. Continuous perfusion with ryanodine revealed dose-dependent sigmoidal increases in the dialysate lactate and lactate-pyruvate ratio parameters; these effects were greatly augmented in malignant hyperthermia-susceptible pigs compared to normal pigs (two- to threefold): estimated EC50 greatly decreased (>19-fold) while the maximum effect increased (>twofold) in the malignant hyperthermia-susceptible group.. The in vivo percutaneous microdialysis protocol for skeletal muscle, using ryanodine as the ryanodine receptor type I agonist and dialysed lactate-pyruvate parameters as metabolic index, can reproducibly differentiate between malignant hyperthermia-susceptible and normal swine.

Identification of a mutation in porcine ryanodine receptor associated with malignant hyperthermia.
    Science (New York, N.Y.), 1991, Jul-26, Volume: 253, Issue:5018

    Malignant hyperthermia (MH) causes neurological, liver, and kidney damage and death in humans and major economic losses in the swine industry. A single point mutation in the porcine gene for the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (ryr1) was found to be correlated with MH in five major breeds of lean, heavily muscled swine. Haplotyping suggests that the mutation in all five breeds has a common origin. Assuming that this is the causal mutation for MH, the development of a noninvasive diagnostic test will provide the basis for elimination of the MH gene or its controlled inclusion in swine breeding programs.

Stimulation and inhibition of [3H]ryanodine binding to sarcoplasmic reticulum from malignant hyperthermia susceptible pigs.
    Archives of biochemistry and biophysics, 1990, Volume: 278, Issue:1

    When compared to normal pig sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), SR from malignant hyperthermia susceptible (MHS) porcine skeletal muscle has been shown to exhibit an increased rate of calcium release, as well as alterations in [3H]ryanodine-binding activity in the presence of microM Ca2+ (Mickelson et al., 1988, J. Biol. Chem. 263, 9310). In the present study, various stimulators (adenine nucleotides and caffeine) and inhibitors (ruthenium red and Mg2+) of the SR calcium release channel were examined for effects on MHS and normal SR [3H]ryanodine binding. The apparent affinity of the MHS SR receptor for ryanodine in the presence of 10 mM ATP (Kd = 6.0 nM) or 10 mM caffeine (Kd = 28 nM) was significantly greater than that of the normal SR (Kd = 8.5 and 65 nM in 10 mM ATP or caffeine, respectively), the Bmax (12-16 pmol/mg) was similar in all cases. The Ca2+(0.5) for inhibition of [3H]ryanodine binding in the presence of 5 mM AMPPNP (238 vs 74 microM for MHS and normal SR, respectively) and the Ca2+(0.5) for stimulation of [3H]ryanodine binding in the presence of 5 mM caffeine (0.049 vs 0.070 microM for MHS and normal SR, respectively) were also significantly different. Furthermore, in the presence of optimal Ca2+, MHS SR [3H]ryanodine binding was more sensitive to caffeine stimulation (C0.5 of 1.7 vs 3.4 mM) and was less sensitive to ruthenium red (C0.5 of 1.9 vs 1.2 microM) or Mg2+ inhibition (C0.5 of 0.34 vs 0.21 mM) than was normal SR. These results further support the hypothesis that differences in the ryanodine/receptor calcium release channel regulatory properties are responsible for the abnormal calcium releasing activity of MHS SR.

Transverse tubule calcium regulation in malignant hyperthermia.
    Archives of biochemistry and biophysics, 1989, Volume: 269, Issue:2

    Transverse tubule (TT) calcium transport and permeability were examined in the inherited skeletal muscle disorder malignant hyperthermia (MH). ATP-dependent calcium uptake by TT vesicles isolated from normal and MH-susceptible (MHS) pig muscle had a similar dependence on ionized Ca2+ concentration (K1/2 for Ca2+ of 0.21 +/- 0.04 and 0.25 +/- 0.05 microM for MHS and normal TT, respectively), as well as a similar Vmax (20.9 +/- 2.0 and 23.7 +/- 4.5 nmol Ca/mg protein/min for MHS and normal TT, respectively). Furthermore, the stimulation of calcium uptake by either calmodulin or cAMP-dependent protein kinase was similar in normal and MHS TT. Halothane concentrations greater than 2 mM inhibited calcium uptake by either normal or MHS TT to a similar extent (IC50 = 8 mM). Dantrolene (10 microM), nitrendipine (1 microM), and Bay K 8644 (1 microM) had no significant effect on either the initial rates of calcium uptake or maximal calcium accumulation of either MHS or normal TT vesicles. However, in the absence of any added agents, maximum calcium accumulation by MHS TT was significantly less than by normal TT (90 +/- 10 versus 130 +/- 9 nmol Ca/mg protein after 15 min of uptake). This difference was not due to an increased permeability of MHS TT to calcium, nor was it due to a difference in the sarcoplasmic reticulum contamination (less than 5%) of the MHS and normal preparations. Although our results indicate there is no significant defect in MHS TT calcium regulation, the diminished maximum calcium accumulation by MHS TT may contribute to the abnormal sarcoplasmic calcium homeostasis in skeletal muscle during an MH crisis.

Effects of the halothane-sensitivity gene on sarcoplasmic reticulum function.
    The American journal of physiology, 1989, Volume: 257, Issue:4 Pt 1

    Pigs heterozygous for the halothane-sensitivity gene exhibit a distinct phenotype with regard to both in vivo and in vitro muscle responses to halothane (E. M. Gallant, J. R. Mickelson, B. D. Roggow, S. K. Donaldson, C. F. Louis, and W. E. Rempel. Am. J. Physiol. 257 (Cell Physiol. 26): C781-C786, 1989). In this paper heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) preparations were isolated from the muscles of pigs of all three genotypes. The rate of calcium release from SR of pigs homozygous for the halothane-sensitivity gene was approximately twice that of SR from pigs homozygous for the normal allele. Furthermore, in the presence of 6 microM Ca2+, the binding of [3H]ryanodine to SR isolated from the homozygous halothane-sensitive pigs was of a higher affinity than was the binding to SR isolated from the homozygous normal pigs (Kd = 70-90 vs. 265 nM, respectively). The SR from pigs heterozygous for the halothane-sensitivity gene, however, demonstrated intermediate values for the rate of calcium release and the affinity for [3H]ryanodine (Kd = 192 nM). Thus the alterations in heavy SR calcium release and [3H]ryanodine binding in the pigs containing one copy of the halothane-sensitivity gene demonstrate a distinct heterozygote phenotype. These data also suggest that the protein product of this gene is closely associated with, and perhaps identical to, the SR calcium release channel-ryanodine receptor protein.
