Prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)), a product of the cyclooxygenase-2 pathway, has been shown to increase cardiac output and modulate cardiac contractile function. However, whether the cardiac contractile response of PGE2 is due to its action on single ventricular myocytes has not been elucidated. To assess the mechanical effect of PGE2 at the cellular level, adult rat ventricular myocytes were isolated and stimulated to contract at 0.5 Hz. Mechanical and intracellular Ca2+ properties were evaluated using an IonOptix Myocam((R)) analog-to-digital optical detection system. Contractile and intracellular Ca2+ properties were evaluated as peak shortening (PS), time-to-PS (TPS), time-to-90% relengthening (TR90), maximal velocity of shortening or relengthening (+/-dL/dt) and Ca2+-induced intracellular Ca2+ fluorescence release (CICR), baseline intracellular Ca2+ levels and intracellular Ca2+ decay rate (tau). PGE(2) (10(-8) to 10(-3) M) elicited an augmentation in PS but had no effect on TPS, TR90, +/-dL/dt, CICR and tau. High concentration of PGE(2) (10(-5) M or higher) reduced the baseline intracellular Ca2+ levels. These data indicate that the myocardial contractile response of PGE2 may be due to its direct cardiac contractile action at the single ventricular myocyte level, probably through a mechanism independent of intracellular Ca2+ release.
