Diacylglycerol has been hypothesized to mediate the positive inotropic response of myocardium to the α-adrenergic agonists angiotensin II and endothelin. The mechanism of action of diacylglycerol was examined here in adult rat ventricular myocytes by releasing dioctanoylglycerol (diC8) intracellularly from a caged compound while monitoring Ca2+transients and pH with fluorescent indicators. DiC8caused a three- to fourfold increase in twitch amplitude and a twofold increase in the systolic Ca2+transient. No other parameter was consistently influenced by diC8, including the kinetics of Ca2+cycling, the Ca2+content of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, or the myofilament Ca2+sensitivity. DiC8also had no detectable effect on intracellular pH or Na+/H+antiport activity. Consistent with this finding, the Na+/H+exchange inhibitorN-ethylisopropyl amiloride was without effect on the positive inotropic response to diC8. The marked enhancement of systolic Ca2+by diC8suggests that the process of excitation-contraction coupling is an important and possibly preferred target of diacylglycerol-protein kinase C signaling in myocardium.
