Microscopic invaginations of the surface membrane, called t-tubules, carry electrical and chemical signals into cardiomyocytes. Previous studies have found slow rates of solute exchange inside t-tubules and have suggested that diffusion may be highly restricted. By combining fluorescent tracer measurements and detailed computational modeling, we show that small solutes (1 kDa) appear to move almost freely within t-tubules and most of the ∼5–16× slowing in exchange rate, compared with free diffusion, arises from t-tubule geometry effects. Larger solutes (>4 kDa) show restricted access into t-tubules, and species-dependent entry may also be impeded by differences in t-tubule mouth configuration. Our data and analyses provide a new pathway to understanding how disease-induced t-tubule derangement may contribute to altered cellular function. Cardiac transverse (t-) tubules carry both electrical excitation and solutes toward the cell center but their ability to transport small molecules is unclear. While fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) can provide an approach to measure local solute movement, extraction of diffusion coefficients is confounded by cell and illumination beam geometries. In this study, we use measured cellular geometry and detailed computer modeling to derive the apparent diffusion coefficient of a 1-kDa solute inside the t-tubular system of rabbit and mouse ventricular cardiomyocytes. This approach shows that diffusion within individual t-tubules is more rapid than previously reported. T-tubule tortuosity, varicosities, and the presence of longitudinal elements combine to substantially reduce the apparent rate of solute movement. In steady state, large (>4 kDa) solutes did not freely fill the t-tubule lumen of both species and <50% of the t-tubule volume was available to solutes >70 kDa. Detailed model fitting of FRAP data suggests that solute diffusion is additionally restricted at the t-tubular entrance and this effect was larger in mouse than in rabbit. The possible structural basis of this effect was investigated using electron microscopy and tomography. Near the cell surface, mouse t-tubules are more tortuous and filled with an electron-dense ground substance, previously identified as glycocalyx and a polyanionic mesh. Solute movement in the t-tubule network of rabbit and mouse appears to be explained by their different geometric properties, which impacts the use of these species for understanding t-tubule function and the consequences of changes associated with t-tubule disease.
