Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) is important in cardiac protection in diseased heart. Recently, we have reported that nNOS is associated with myofilament Ca2+ desensitization in cardiac myocytes from hypertensive rats. So far, the effect of myofilament Ca2+ desensitization or nNOS on L-type Ca2+ channel activity (I-Ca) in cardiac myocyte is unclear. Here, we examined nNOS regulation of I-Ca in left ventricular (LV) myocytes from sham and angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced hypertensive rats.Our results showed that basal I-Ca was not different between sham and hypertension (from -60 to +40 mV, 0.1 Hz). S-methyl-L-thiocitrulline (SMTC), a selective nNOS inhibitor, increased peak I-Ca similarly in both groups. However, chelation of intracellular Ca2+ [Ca2+](i) with BAPTA increased I-Ca and abolished SMTC-augmentation of I-Ca only in hypertension. Myofilament Ca2+ desensitization with butanedione monoxime (BDM), a myosin ATPase inhibitor, decreased I-Ca in both groups but to a greater extent in hypertension. Intracellular BAPTA or nNOS inhibition reinstated I-Ca in the presence of BDM to the basal level, suggesting Ca2+-dependent inactivation of I-Ca by nNOS and greater vulnerability in hypertension. Increasing stimulation frequencies (2, 4 and 8 Hz) attenuated myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity in sham and reduced peak I-Ca in both groups. Nevertheless, SMTC or BAPTA exerted no effect on I-Ca at high frequencies in either group.These results suggest that nNOS attenuates I-Ca via Ca2+-dependent mechanism and the vulnerability is greater in hypertension subject to myofilament Ca2+ desensitization. nNOS or [Ca2+](i) does not affect I-Ca at high stimulation frequencies. The results were recapitulated with computer simulation. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
