TSUCHIYA* Bermuda Biological Station for Research, Ferry Reach 1-15, Bermuda Accepted 8 May 1985 SUMMARY 1. The maximum shortening velocity of the longitudinal retractor muscle of the holothurian, Isostichopus badionotus, was measured using a 'slack test' in solutions of normal, increased and reduced osmotic strength. 2. At normal osmotic strength, the average maximum shortening velocity was 0-44 ± 0-04 LoS" 1 (N=14) which is fast compared to other smooth muscles. This is unexpected considering the slow locomotion of these animals. 3. Raising the osmotic strength by 55 % by addition of sucrose reduced the shortening velocity by more than 50 %. Raising the osmotic strength by 52 % with NaCl caused a 35 % reduction in shortening velocity. 4. Lowering the osmotic strength by 19% or 39%, by reducing NaCl concentration, did not significantly affect shortening velocity. 5. The shortening velocity was found to be proportional to the volume of the muscle preparation. INTRODUCTION Holothurians have five longitudinal retractor muscles which run along the inner surface of the body and these muscles are supposed to be for locomotion. A. V. Hill (192) and Levin & Wyman (1927) suggested that there were fundamental similarities between mechanical properties of these smooth muscles and vertebrate skeletal muscle, although the rate of contraction was much slower in the holothurian muscle (see review by Takahashi, 19). In the present study, the maximum shortening velocity of holothurian smooth muscle was determined by the 'slack test' (Edman, 1979) and the effect of osmotic strength was examined. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preparations The holothurians Isostichopus badionotus were collected from the seashore near Bermuda Biological Station immediately before dissection. They were cut open and Present address: Department of Physiology, School of Medicine, Teikyo University, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo 173, Japan. Key words: Holothurian muscle, shortening velocity, tonicity change.

A strip mm long was mounted horizontally in afluidchamber between an arm attached to a servo-motor and an arm attached to a tension transducer (Shinko; U-gauge, compliance, 1 ^mg" 1 ) (Fig. 1). The servo-motor was used to apply length steps and the tension was recorded on an ink writing oscillograph. An appropriate position clamp was achieved by feed-back control using a signal from a displacement transducer, which was installed inside the motor. All experiments were performed at room temperature (24-27 C).

Solutions Solutions were as shown in Table 1. The solutions were named according to the osmolality relative to the standard solution (IT solution) and to the constituent responsible for the tonicity change, for example, l*28tna represents an osmolality 1-28 times that of the standard solution, using NaCl. The osmolality (mosmolkg" 1 water) of salt solutions was measured directly with a freezing point osmometer (Advanced Instruments Inc. Model 3L). The osmolality of the sucrose solution was calculated according to the formulae provided by Dydyriska & Wilkie (193) and that of the solutions containing both salt and sucrose was taken to be the sum of measured and calculated values. Measurement of shortening velocity To determine the shortening velocity of an unloaded fibre preparation, a contracture was first induced using acetylcholine (ACh). During the plateau phase, the arm of the servo-motor was moved to allow the fibre to slacken (20 ms for completion of a length step) and the time taken for redevelopment of tension (At) was plotted against the size of the length step (AL) (Fig. 1 A,B). Data points showed a close fit to a straight line, using the least-squares methods. Length steps were within the range of 0-32 of a fibre length (Lo). Measurement of fibre volume Relative volume was estimated from change in weight. Volume could not be estimated from diameter because diameter and cross-sectional area were not constant

The muscle preparations were equilibrated for 20 min in the standard, hypertonic or hypotonic solutions. They were then lightly blotted with filter paper, wrapped with aluminium foil to avoid evaporation and weighed. RESULTS Tension development by acetylcholine For all the measurements of maximum shortening velocity, tension was developed by application of acetylcholine (ACh), which is generally believed to be the transmitter in the neuromuscular system of echinoderms (R. B. Hill, 1970; Pentreath & Cobb, 1972; Suzuki, 1982). The isometric tension showed very gradual relaxation during prolonged application of ACh. Tension was reduced by only 5 % after 45 s. A dose-response study of the effects at s showed that ACh concentrations above 3 X ~ s mol I" 1 produced maximum tension (Fig. 2). This dose is a little lower than that for the muscle of another holothurian (Sugi et al. 1982). An ACh concentration of ~ 5 moll~ 1 was adopted as the standard for further experiments, rather than 3x ~ s moll~ 1, because the muscle could break with repeated full activation. Effects of acetylcholine concentration on Vm and the dependence on time after the activation To measure the velocity of free load shortening (Vm), the muscle preparation was

The tension fell to zero at the onset of release and redeveloped after a delay (Fig. 3). It is clearly shown that the duration of unloaded shortening increases with an increase of step length (A, 0 19 Lo; B, 0 23 Lo; C, 0 3 Lo). The step lengths were plotted against the durations of unloaded shortening (Fig. 4). The data showed a good fit to a straight line, and the slope gave the shortening velocity. The velocity was constant at ACh concentrations greater than 5 X ~ moll~ 1 (Fig. 4A). Whereas isometric tension showed only a very gradual reduction as the ACh exposure was prolonged, the maximum shortening velocity was more strongly affected. After45 s of ACh, the velocity was only 50 % of the value at s (Fig. 4B). Shortening velocities were therefore measured s after the activation by ACh for further experiments. The averaged maximum shortening velocity of 14preparationswasO - 44 ± 0-04 Los" 1. Effects of hypertonicity on the maximum shortening velocity Shortening velocity was first measured in the standard solution. The preparation was then equilibrated for 20 min in hypertonic solution and measurements were made in that solution.

Plots of length change versus duration of unloaded shortening in increased osmotic strength made by addition of sucrose (A,, in IT; O, in l-28tsu;, in l-55tsu) or NaCl (B,, in IT; O, in l-28tna;, in l-52tna). In solutions made hypertonic with sucrose, the duration of the unloaded shortening was longer for a given length step, and the isometric tension was lower, than in the standard solution (compare Fig. 3D-F with Fig. 3A-C). The relationship between the amplitude of the length steps and the duration of unloaded shortening is illustrated in Fig. 5A, in which the maximum shortening velocities in IT (the standard solution), l-28tsu and l-55tsu solutions are 0-Los" 1, 0-38Los" 1 and 0-22 Los" 1 respectively; i.e. with relative values of 1:0-79:0-4. Average relative values were 0-78 (S.D. 0-1; N = 4) for 1-28TSu, and 0-42 (S.D. 0-05,TV = 4) for 1-55TSu. The strong effect of the hypertonic sucrose solution upon the maximum shortening velocity, and the observation that the rate of the tension redevelopment is slower in hypertonic solution (Fig. 3), suggests that the turnover rate of crossbridges may be slower in hypertonic solution. Maximum shortening velocity was less affected by hypertonic solutions in which tonicity was raised with NaCl rather than sucrose. In Fig. 5B the maximum

Effects of hypotonicity on the maximum shortening velocity After measurement of shortening velocity in the standard solution, the preparation was equilibrated for 20min in hypotonic solution. Shortening velocity was little affected. In Fig., the shortening velocities in IT, 0-81TNa and 0-1TNa solutions are 0-58LOS" 1, 0-54LOS" 1 and 0-7Los -1 respectively; with relative values of 1:0-93:1-1.

Tension changes in hypertonic and hypotonic solution The tension induced by ~ 5 mol I" 1 ACh was not significantly altered in solutions made hypertonic by addition of NaCl, or in hypotonic solution. In hypertonic sucrose solutions, however, tension decreased significantly both in l-28tsu and in l-55tsu (Fig. 7A). It was observed that in a few preparations appreciable tension developed in hypertonic or hypotonic solution without ACh and these fibres were not used for the measurements of tension or shortening velocity. Volume changes in hypertonic and hypotonic solutions Preparation volume was first measured in the standard solution, then in the hypertonic or hypotonic solutions and finally again in the standard solution.

9 Shortening velocity of holothurian muscle 39 DISCUSSION The average maximum shortening velocity of the longitudinal retractor muscle of Isostichopus badionotus was 0-44Los" 1. In cat muscle (Close & Hoh, 197), it is 22-8 Lo s" 1. In smooth muscles of pig carotid artery (Herlihy & Murphy, 1974), dog trachea (Stephens, Kroeger & Mehta, 199), rabbit urinary bladder (Uvelius, 197) and guinea pig taenia coli (Mashima, Okada & Okumura, 1979), the velocities are 0-12, 0-17, 0-23 and 0-53 LOs" 1 respectively. For invertebrate smooth muscle, the shortening velocities have been found to be Los" 1 for anterior byssus retractor muscle of Mytilus (Lowy & Millman, 193; Tameyasu & Sugi, 197) and 0-42L0S" 1 for the foot muscle of Mytilus (Ishii & Takahashi, 1981). Thus, the shortening velocity of holothurian muscle is fast compared with that of other smooth muscles, and not slow as might be expected from the slow locomotion of these animals. Therefore, it is conceivable that the fast contraction of this muscle is not utilized in the locomotion of this animal, but in some other behaviour. In striated muscle, the maximum shortening velocity, which is much faster than that in smooth muscle, has been shown to decrease remarkably in hypertonic solution and to increase appreciably in hypotonic solution (Edman & Hwang, 1977). If a fundamental mechanism of contraction is common to striated and smooth muscles, it may be that similar phenomena are observed in smooth muscles. Little information is at present available about the effects of hypertonic solution on the contractile tension and the shortening velocity in smooth muscles except for Mytilus (Sugi, Yamaguchi & Tanaka, 1977; Tameyasu, 1978). An essential step in the analysis of the maximum shortening velocity is tofind out whether the tension level before the release affects the velocity. In holothurian muscle, shortening velocity is apparently not related to the tension at ACh concentrations above 5 X ~ mol I" 1 (Fig. 4). Shortening velocity is, however, related to volume (Figs 5,, 7). In striated fibres it is suggested that the effect of volume upon velocity could be by change in ionic strength (Edman & Hwang, 1977). But it has recently been demonstrated that the maximum shortening velocity decreases under constant ionic strength in osmotically compressed skinned fibres of frog, suggesting that the decrease in the shortening velocity is a direct effect of the decrease in inter-filament spacing (Tsuchiya, 1984). The reduction of velocity during ACh exposure (Fig. 4B) is reminiscent of the catch phenomenon in the anterior byssus retractor of Mytilus (Tameyasu & Sugi, 197; Sugi & Tsuchiya, 1979). A similar phenomenon has also been reported in striated muscle (Julian & Sollins, 1972). The mechanism responsible for these phenomena is still incompletely understood, though ADP has been found to slow down the cycling rate of ATP hydrolysis of crossbridge movement (Giith, Kuhn, Tsuchiya & Ruegg, 1981). Further analysis of holothurian muscle or smooth muscle may be possible using glycerinated or chemically-skinned preparations, thus enabling independent control of inter-filament spacing and ionic environment as in skeletal muscle (Tsuchiya, 1984).
