摘要：
心肌收缩通常由肌浆网（SR，细胞内主要钙储存结构）同步释放钙离子激活。但在异常状态下，钙会从SR中泄漏，导致心肌收缩幅度下降，并增加危及生命的心律失常风险。目前，引发异常钙泄漏的SR运作机制和运作模式仍不明确。本研究结合数值模拟与解析建模，从机制层面深入阐释这一突现的钙泄漏现象。我们采用精细的真实钙释放单元（CRU）模型开展数值模拟，发现系统会发生突变并引发钙泄漏。泄漏的产生在数学上可与统计力学中的Ising模型（伊辛模型）精确对应。系统的稳态行为由两个聚合参数决定：即Ising模型中磁场（$h$）和逆温（$β$）的类似量，我们已推导出这两个参数关于SR钙浓度与释放通道开闭速率的显式表达式。泄漏模式的分类可通过$β$-$h$相图呈现，相界出现在$h$=0处以及$β$的临界值（$β*$）处，我们通过经典Ising模型和平均场理论估算了$β*$的数值。理论预测：当$h$>0且$β$>$β*$时会发生同步钙泄漏；当$β$<$β*$且$h$不过于为负时则发生无序泄漏。无序泄漏与同步泄漏（表现为长时程钙火花）的区别在于前者具有更长的Peierls围道长度，该输出参数可反映系统的无序程度。因此，除了精细数值模型方法外，我们还提供了一种即时计算工具，该工具基于Ising模型的解析公式，可对应不同RyR（兰尼碱受体）参数和SR钙负荷，用于描述和分类相变与泄漏的产生过程。
英文摘要：
Heart muscle contraction is normally activated by a synchronized Ca release from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), a major intracellular Ca store. However, under abnormal conditions Ca leaks from the SR, decreasing heart contraction amplitude and increasing risk of life-threatening arrhythmia. The mechanisms and regimes of SR operation generating the abnormal Ca leak remain unclear. Here we employed both numerical and analytical modeling to get mechanistic insights into the emergent Ca leak phenomenon. Our numerical simulations using a detailed realistic model of Ca release unit (CRU) reveal sharp transitions resulting in Ca leak. The emergence of leak is closely mapped mathematically to the Ising model from statistical mechanics. The system steady-state behavior is determined by two aggregate parameters: the analogues of magnetic field ($h$) and the inverse temperature ($β$) in the Ising model, for which we have explicit formulas in terms of SR Ca and release channel opening/closing rates. The classification of leak regimes takes the shape of a phase $β$-$h$ diagram, with the regime boundaries occurring at $h$=0 and a critical value of $β$ ($β*$) which we estimate using a classical Ising model and mean field theory. Our theory predicts that a synchronized Ca leak will occur when $h$>0 and $β>β*$ and a disordered leak occurs when $β<β*$ and $h$ is not too negative. The disorder leak is distinguished from synchronized leak (in long-lasting sparks) by larger Peierls contour lengths, an output parameter reflecting degree of disorder. Thus, in addition to our detailed numerical model approach we also offer an instantaneous computational tool using analytical formulas of the Ising model for respective RyR parameters and SR Ca load that describe and classify phase transitions and leak emergence.
