Fatiguing exercise causes hydrolysis of phosphocreatine, increasing the intracellular concentration of inorganic phosphate (Pi). Pi diffuses into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) where it is believed to forms insoluble Ca2+ salts, thus contributing to the impairment of Ca2+ release. Information on the Pi entrance pathway is still lacking. In amphibian muscles endowed with isoform 3 of the RyR channel, Ca2+ spark frequency is correlated with Ca2+ load of the SR and can be used to monitor this variable. We studied the effects of Pi on Ca2+ sparks in permeabilized fibres of the frog. Relative event frequency (f/fref) rose with increasing [Pi] reaching 2.54±1.6 at 5 mM and then decreased monotonically, reaching 0.09±0.03 at [Pi] = 80 mM. Measurement of [Ca2+]SR confirmed a decrease correlated with spark frequency at high [Pi]. A large [Ca2+]SR surge was observed upon Pi removal. Anion channels are a putative path for Pi into the SR. We tested the effect of chloride channel blocker 9-anthracenecarboxylic acid (9AC) on Pi entrance. 400 μM 9AC applied to the cytoplasm produced a non-significant increase in spark frequency and reduced the Pi effects on this parameter. Fibre treatment with 2 mM 9AC in the presence of high cytoplasmic Mg2+ suppressed Pi effects on [Ca2+]SR and spark frequency up to 55 mM Pi. These results suggest that chloride channels (or transporters) provide the main pathway of inorganic phosphate into the SR and confirm that it impairs Ca2+ release by accumulating and precipitating with Ca2+ inside the SR, thus contributing to myogenic fatigue.
