Mitochondrial Ca2+-handling in fast skeletal muscle fibers from wild type and calsequestrin-null mice. by Michele Scorzeto, Marta Giacomello, Luana Toniolo, Marta Canato, Bert Blaauw, Cecilia Paolini, Feliciano Protasi, Carlo Reggiani, Ger J M Stienen

“…These results provide direct evidence for fast Ca(2+) accumulation inside the mitochondria, involvement of the mNCX in mitochondrial Ca(2+)-handling and a dependence of mitochondrial Ca(2+)-handling on intracellular (SR) and external Ca(2+) stores in fast skeletal muscle fibers. dCASQ-null mice represent a model for malignant hyperthermia. The differences in structure and in mitochondrial function observed relative to WT may represent compensatory mechanisms for the disease-related reduction of calcium storage capacity of the SR and/or SR Ca(2+)-leakage.…”
