<front><div type="abstract" xml:lang="en"><p>We investigate the potential of multiple quantum filtered (MQF) <sup>23</sup>
Na NMR to probe intracellular [Na]<sub>i</sub>
in the Langendorff perfused mouse heart. In the presence of Tm(DOTP) shift reagent the triple quantum filtered (TQF) signal originated largely from the intracellular sodium pool with a 32 ± 6% contribution of the total TQF signal arising from extracellular sodium, whilst the rank 2 double-quantum filtered signal (DQF), acquired with a 54.7° flip-angle pulse, originated exclusively from the extracellular sodium pool. Given the different cellular origins of the <sup>23</sup>
Na MQF signals we propose that the TQF/DQF ratio can be used as a semi-quantitative measure of [Na]<sub>i</sub>
in the mouse heart. We demonstrate a good correlation of this ratio with [Na]<sub>i</sub>
measured with shift reagent at baseline and under conditions of elevated [Na]<sub>i</sub>
. We compare the measurements of [Na]<sub>i</sub>
using both shift reagent and TQF/DQF ratio in a cohort of wild type mouse hearts and in a transgenic PLM<sup>3SA</sup>
mouse expressing a non-phosphorylatable form of phospholemman, showing a modest but measurable elevation of baseline [Na]<sub>i</sub>
. MQF filtered <sup>23</sup>
Na NMR is a potentially useful tool for studying normal and pathophysiological changes in [Na]<sub>i</sub>
, particularly in transgenic mouse models with altered Na regulation.</p>

In the presence of Tm(DOTP) shift reagent the triple quantum filtered (TQF) signal originated largely from the intracellular sodium pool with a 32 ± 6% contribution of the total TQF signal arising from extracellular sodium, whilst the rank 2 double-quantum filtered signal (DQF), acquired with a 54.7° flip-angle pulse, originated exclusively from the extracellular sodium pool. Given the different cellular origins of the <sup>23</sup>
Na MQF signals we propose that the TQF/DQF ratio can be used as a semi-quantitative measure of [Na]<sub>i</sub>
in the mouse heart. We demonstrate a good correlation of this ratio with [Na]<sub>i</sub>
measured with shift reagent at baseline and under conditions of elevated [Na]<sub>i</sub>
. We compare the measurements of [Na]<sub>i</sub>
using both shift reagent and TQF/DQF ratio in a cohort of wild type mouse hearts and in a transgenic PLM<sup>3SA</sup>
mouse expressing a non-phosphorylatable form of phospholemman, showing a modest but measurable elevation of baseline [Na]<sub>i</sub>
. MQF filtered <sup>23</sup>
Na NMR is a potentially useful tool for studying normal and pathophysiological changes in [Na]<sub>i</sub>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>Intracellular Na concentration [Na]<sub>i</sub>
is a key modulator of cardiac cell function <xref rid="bb0005" ref-type="bibr">[1]</xref>
. At steady-state [Na]<sub>i</sub>
has been measured between 4–16 mM depending on species and preparation <xref rid="bb0010" ref-type="bibr">[2]</xref>
. The Na electrochemical gradient across the cell membrane provides the energy for the action potential upstroke, as well as the active transport of many other ions, amino acids and substrates into the cell <xref rid="bb0010 bb0015" ref-type="bibr">[2,3]</xref>
. [Na]<sub>i</sub>
is also critical for the control of intracellular calcium [Ca]<sub>i</sub>
via the sodium–calcium exchanger (NCX), thereby determining sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca content and cardiac contractility <xref rid="bb0020" ref-type="bibr">[4]</xref>
. Maintenance of the Na<sup>+</sup>
gradient is therefore fundamentally important in normal physiology but is also critically important in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure where the elevation of [Na]<sub>i</sub>
contributes to contractile and electrical dysfunction <xref rid="bb0025 bb0030 bb0035" ref-type="bibr">[5–7]</xref>
.</p>
<p>Historically, many techniques have been used to measure intracellular Na but few are physiologically relevant, either measuring Na at room temperature or in quiescent preparations <xref rid="bb0005" ref-type="bibr">[1]</xref>
. <sup>23</sup>
Na nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is able to distinguish intra versus extracellular Na pools, employing paramagnetic shift reagents such as Tm(DOTP) <xref rid="bb0040" ref-type="bibr">[8]</xref>
to separate the two. However, these reagents are efficient chelators of Ca and Mg leading to modified ion homeostasis and reduced cardiac contractility <xref rid="bb0045" ref-type="bibr">[9]</xref>
. As a result, shift reagents exhibit significant toxicity precluding their use in vivo. In contrast, multiple quantum filtered (MQF) <sup>23</sup>
Na nuclear magnetic resonance has shown great potential to probe intra and extracellular pools of Na in the <italic>absence</italic>
of shift reagent and therefore under more physiological conditions <xref rid="bb0050 bb0055" ref-type="bibr">[10,11]</xref>
. Much work has been carried out developing multiple quantum filtered <sup>23</sup>
Na NMR in the perfused rat heart <xref rid="bb0050 bb0060 bb0065" ref-type="bibr">[10,12,13]</xref>
, in vivo in skeletal muscle and the brain <xref rid="bb0070" ref-type="bibr">[14]</xref>
and in tumours <xref rid="bb0075" ref-type="bibr">[15]</xref>
. In the perfused rat heart, the <sup>23</sup>
Na TQF signal has contributions from the intra and extracellular Na pools <xref rid="bb0055 bb0060 bb0080" ref-type="bibr">[11,12,16]</xref>
and has been shown to be proportional to intracellular [Na]<sub>i</sub>
measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy <xref rid="bb0065" ref-type="bibr">[13]</xref>
. Methods have been developed to suppress the extracellular contribution to the TQF signal <xref rid="bb0085" ref-type="bibr">[17]</xref>
. On the other hand, the <sup>23</sup>
Na DQF signal was found previously to arise only from the extracellular Na pool in the rat heart suggesting that TQF and DQF <sup>23</sup>
Na NMR signals arise from different cellular compartments <xref rid="bb0090" ref-type="bibr">[18]</xref>
.</p>
<p>Whilst the isolated rat heart has historically been an important model for cardiovascular research, the ability to rapidly and efficiently manipulate the genome of the mouse has recently made this the species of choice for many physiological and biochemical studies. The application of MQF <sup>23</sup>
Na NMR techniques to the isolated perfused mouse heart is much more challenging due to technical issues of the smaller heart size and, prior to this study, has not been described. The aim of the present study was therefore to revisit the utility of the multiple quantum filtered experiment and to establish and characterise the methods necessary to apply MQF <sup>23</sup>
Na NMR measurements to isolated Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts in both wild-type and a transgenic PLM<sup>3SA</sup>
genotype displaying altered [Na]<sub>i</sub>
homeostasis. The PLM<sup>3SA</sup>
transgenic mouse has three mutations of the PLM phosphorylation sites Ser63, 68 and 69 which have been substituted for alanine, rendering PLM unphosphorylatable, leading to altered Na/K ATPase activity and elevated intracellular Na <xref rid="bb0030" ref-type="bibr">[6]</xref>

<title>Langendorff mouse heart perfusion</title>
<p>C57BL/6J male mice (~ 28 g body weight) were purchased from Harlan (Harlan, UK). PLM<sup>3SA</sup>
and WT mice were bred ‘in house’ as previously described <xref rid="bb0030" ref-type="bibr">[6]</xref>
. Mice were kept in individually ventilated cages with a 12 h light–dark cycle, controlled humidity and temperature (20–22 °C), fed standard chow and water ad libitum. All experiments were approved by institutional ethical review committee and conform to the UK Home Office Guidance on the Operation of the Animals Scientific Procedures Act 1986 (HMSO).</p>
<p>Mice were administered terminal anaesthesia via intra-peritoneal pentobarbitone injection (~ 140 mg/kg body weight). Hearts were rapidly excised, cannulated and perfused in isovolumic Langendorff mode and perfused at 80 mm Hg pressure maintained by a STH peristaltic pump controller feedback system (AD Instruments, Oxford, UK), at 37 °C with Krebs–Henseleit (KH) buffer continuously gassed with 95% O<sub>2</sub>

. Cardiac function was assessed using a fluid-filled cling-film balloon inserted into left ventricle (LV), and connected via a rigid polyethylene line to an MR-compatible pressure transducer (DTX Plus TNF-R, Becton-Dickinson) and a PowerLab system (AD Instruments, Australia). The volume in the intraventricular balloon was adjusted using a 1.0 ml syringe to achieve an initial LV diastolic pressure of ~ 9 mm Hg. Left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) was calculated from the difference between systolic (SP) and diastolic pressures (DP). Functional parameters (systolic pressure, end-diastolic pressure, heart rate, LVDP, coronary flow, perfusion pressure) were monitored using LabChart software v.7 (AD Instruments, Australia) throughout the experiment <xref rid="bb0095" ref-type="bibr">[19]</xref>
.</p>
<p>The low flow rates and the long perfusion lines in NMR systems can create problems with adequate temperature control. In addition, these long perfusion lines create significant ‘dead-spaces’ (where temperature, gas solubility and pH may change) and introduce long delays on switching solutions. These problems were solved in the current system by the use of two parallel continuously recirculating water-jacketed perfusion lines (<xref rid="f0005" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>
a). Control, and test solutions were gassed at 37 °C before being pumped (Gilson Minipuls 3) through two parallel lines within a water-jacketed (37 °C) umbilical line (approx 3 m in length). These two lines then enter a novel three-way pneumatically operated valve positioned directly above the cannula (<xref rid="f0005" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>
a). Control solution was passed via the pneumatic valve to the heart whilst the test solution was recirculated back up the umbilicus to the external reservoir. When the valve is activated, the control solution is recirculated and the test solution passes to the heart with effectively no distal stagnant dead-space and a switching time of < 2 s, at the level of the heart. In order to protect the magnet, coils etc. from accidental leakage, the perfusion system includes a ‘flood plain’ between the perfusion lines, valve etc. and the cannula (<xref rid="f0005" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>
a). This flood plain includes a moisture sensor connected to a remote alarm. The umbilical line, transducers, valve and all fittings were manufactured exclusively of non-magnetic parts and was fed via the top of the magnet and lowered into the active region of the bore/microimaging coil. At the end of each experiment, the perfusion system was removed from the magnet and hearts were immediately snap frozen using Wollenberger tongs, pre-cooled in liquid nitrogen, and wet and dry weights were recorded.</p>

<p>All experiments were carried out on a Bruker Avance III 400 MHz wide-bore spectrometer (Bruker, Karlsruhe, Germany) equipped with triple-axis gradients, a microimaging probe and exchangeable RF coil inserts (10 mm <sup>23</sup>
Na coil or <sup>1</sup>

NMR tubes (O.D. 10 mm) (Wilmad, UK) were shortened in length to just greater than the NMR active coil region in order to minimize the perfusate dead volume beneath the heart. The bore of the NMR was maintained (~ 313 K) by continuous delivery of warm water, from a thermostatically controlled water bath, through the imaging gradients of the MR. Temperature calibration was performed in situ using a capillary containing ethylene glycol at the position of the heart.</p>

Na acquisitions were recorded in real-time during the perfusion with the shift reagent until the extracellular [Na]<sub>e</sub>

<p>We have developed an MR-compatible Langendorff constant-pressure/constant flow perfusion system to non-invasively probe mouse myocardial [Na]<sub>i</sub>
at physiological heart rates and temperatures. Multiple quantum filtering techniques (DQF and TQF) were used to monitor [Na]<sub>i</sub>

pool was approximately 32%, indicating that the signal mainly represents [Na]<sub>i</sub>
. We observed that the DQF signal was independent of elevations in [Na]<sub>i</sub>
, consistent with this signal arising from the extracellular [Na]<sub>e</sub>
pool. In both TQF and DQF multiple quantum filtered experiments the bulk isotropic Na signal is filtered out of the spectrum leaving only the Na pools subject to anisotropic interactions; the TQF arising due to biexponential relaxation and macromolecular Na binding in the intracellular matrix whilst the rank 2 DQF signal arises due to a residual quadrupolar coupling due to association with ordered structures such as tissue fibre orientation. The relative amplitudes of the TQF and DQF signals, with the former being greater than the latter, represent the different anisotropic environments found in these different compartments. We found a good correlation between the TQF/DQF ratio R<sup>TQF/DQF</sup>
and [Na]<sub>i</sub>
and propose, therefore, that this ratio can be used as a semi-quantitative measure of [Na]<sub>i</sub>
in the mouse heart. Using the DQF signal as an internal extracellular reference on a heart-by-heart basis renders the TQF/DQF ratio independent of heart weight (data not shown), does not require an external [Na]<sub>ref</sub>
standard for calibration and enables a direct measure of [Na]<sub>i</sub>
without resorting to the use of shift reagents.</p>
<p>Absolute quantification of [Na]<sub>i</sub>
is challenging, particularly in the perfused mouse heart under physiological perfusion conditions. For the calculation of intracellular volume we assume a value of 2.5 ml/g dry weight of tissue which is adequate for the present control group of hearts <xref rid="bb0100" ref-type="bibr">[20]</xref>
. This value is also in close agreement with that of 0.44 ml/g wet weight estimated by Jelicks and Gupta <xref rid="bb0120" ref-type="bibr">[24]</xref>
. However, exact measurement of intracellular volume would be required if these techniques are to be applied under conditions where this might change. It must also be noted that a large proportion of the intracellular pool may not be visible due to the quadrupolar nature of the intracellular <sup>23</sup>
Na<sup>+</sup>
bound to macromolecules. The NMR invisibility of a fraction of the intracellular Na has been reported by some <xref rid="bb0125" ref-type="bibr">[25]</xref>
whilst others have reported that intracellular Na is 100% visible <xref rid="bb0120" ref-type="bibr">[24]</xref>
.</p>
<p>Whilst the extent of <sup>23</sup>
Na visibility may bias the absolute quantification of [Na]<sub>i</sub>
using shift reagent <xref rid="bb0125" ref-type="bibr">[25]</xref>
, multiple quantum filtered <sup>23</sup>
Na will be useful to examine relative changes in [Na]<sub>i</sub>
applied to perfused mouse hearts. Both shift reagent and the TQF/DQF ratio were able to distinguish similar baseline differences in [Na]<sub>i</sub>
in the two groups of hearts. The PLM<sup>3SA</sup>
mouse displayed significantly elevated [Na]<sub>i</sub>
as measured both by shift reagent and the TQF/DQF ratio. Despite the poorer signal-to-noise ratio of the TQF and DQF NMR measurements compared to shift reagent (<xref rid="f0015" ref-type="fig">Fig. 3</xref>
) the standard errors in the measurements of [Na]<sub>i</sub>
were similar in magnitude for the two techniques and only slightly larger for the TQF/DQF ratio, reflecting similar heart-to-heart variability. However there is a discrepancy in the absolute magnitude of the measured [Na]<sub>i</sub>
using the two techniques and a larger pooled sample size was required to reach significance between the two groups employing the TQF/DQF ratio. This may reflect the different measurement techniques and possible errors introduced in the derivation of the calibration curve as well as the different perfusion conditions, the groups measured with shift reagent being non-contracting due to the Ca chelation effect of the shift reagent whilst the TQF/DQF measurements are performed under more physiological conditions as reflected by the stable ex vivo cardiac function in <xref rid="t0005" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>
. In future experiments, if absolute quantification of [Na]<sub>i</sub>
is not required but relative changes with respect to baseline then the % change in TQF signal alone could also be used, providing there is no change in the DQF signal, and would also offer a viable and more reproducible alternative to the TQF/DQF ratio proposed here. Whilst the TQF/DQF measurements required a large n number to distinguish baseline differences in [Na]<sub>i</sub>
, the methods developed and validated in our study do not require the use of shift reagent, thus are performed under more physiological conditions, making our study readily applicable to the study of [Na]<sub>i</sub>
regulation in a wealth of transgenic models and muscle types with chronically altered [Na]<sub>i</sub>
