Our goal was to
determine whether mice genetically altered to lack either creatine
kinase (M/MtCK
/
) or adenylate kinase
(AK
/
) show altered properties in the dynamic regulation
of myocardial oxygen consumption
(M
O2). We measured contractile
function, oxygen consumption, and the mean response time of oxygen
consumption to a step increase in heart rate [i.e., mitochondrial
response time (tmito)] in isolated
Langendorff-perfused hearts from wild-type (n = 6),
M/MtCK
/
(n = 6), and
AK
/
(n = 4) mice. Left ventricular
developed pressure was higher in M/MtCK
/
hearts
(88.2 ± 6.8 mmHg) and lower in AK
/
hearts
(46.7 ± 9.4 mmHg) compared with wild-type hearts (60.7 ± 10.1 mmHg) at the basal pacing rate. Developed pressure fell slightly
when heart rate was increased in all three groups. Basal M
O2 at 300 beats/min was 19.1 ± 2.4, 19.4 ± 1.5, and 16.3 ± 1.9 µmol · min
1 · g dry wt
1
for M/MtCK
/
, AK
/
, and wild type,
respectively, which increased to 25.5 ± 3.7, 25.4 ± 2.6, and 22.0 ± 2.6 µmol · min
1 · g
1, when
heart rate was increased to 400 beats/min. The
tmito was significantly faster in
M/MtCK
/
hearts: 3.0 ± 0.3 versus 7.3 ± 0.6 and 8.0 ± 0.4 s for M/MtCK
/
,
AK
/
, and wild-type hearts, respectively. Our results
demonstrate that M
O2 of
M/MtCK
/
hearts adapts more quickly to an increase in
heart rate and thereby support the hypothesis that creatine kinase acts
as an energy buffer in the cytosol, which delays the energy-related
signal between sites of ATP hydrolysis and mitochondria.
