Dual wavelength microfluorometry was used to measure the cytoplasmic free calcium concentration [( Ca2+]in) in single cultured cells from ventricular myocytes of neonatal rats loaded with the indicator fura-2. At 2.5 nmol/l extracellular Ca2+ in the resting cells [Ca2+]in was between 80 and 110 nmol/l. Sometimes, spontaneous low-frequency (approximately 0.1 Hz) [Ca2+]in oscillations were observed. High-potassium depolarization led to a Ca2+-antagonists-sensitive rise of [Ca2+]in. Both caffeine++ (5-10 mmol/l) and thymol (lmmol/l) initialized transient increase of [Ca2+]in. Mechanisms of [Ca2+]in homeostasis in heart muscle cells were discussed. 相似文献

1. Cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ICaIin and membrane potential of single Helix pomatia neurons was studied by Fura-2 fluorescence measurement and conventional current clamp methods. 2. Intracellular injection of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and nonhydrolysable GTP analogue (Gpp/NH/p) led to a rise of ICaIin; in contrast, GTP injection did not cause significant ICaIin changes. 3. We suggest that both IP3 and Gpp/NH/p directly activated Ca release from intracellular stores. 相似文献

Two new types of calcium channels were discovered during research in ionic currents in the somatic membrane ofHelix pomatia neurons, using an intracellular perfusion technique. Apart from the principal calcium current described in the literature with a holding potential of about –110 mV, an additional calcium current was observed activated at depolarizations of –40 to –80 mV and was not reduced when the cell was perfused with solutions containing fluoride anions. The kinetics of this current were well described in the context of the Hodgkin and Huxley model with a time constant of activation of 6–8 msec and of inactivation of 300–600 msec. It increased in amplitude as the Ca++ rose in the cellular environment but was reduced by extracellular addition of the Ca++ antagonists Co++, Ni++, and Cd++, and the organic blockers nifedipine and verapamil. The association constants of these substances with corresponding channels determined from the maximum of the current-voltage relationship were 2 (Ca++), 3 (Co++), 0.06 (nifedipine), and 0.2 mM (verapamil). The properties detected in this component of calcium conductance are compared with those of calcium channels in other excitatory formations and its possible functional role is discussed.A. A.

Elemental distribution in striated muscle and the effects of hypertonicity: Electron probe analysis of cryo sections 总被引:15,自引:4,他引:11 下载免费PDF全文
A method of rapid freezing in supercooled Freon 22 (monochlorodifluoromethane) followed by cryoultramicrotomy is described and shown to yield ultrathin sections in which both the cellular ultrastructure and the distribution of diffusible ions across the cell membrane are preserved and intracellular compartmentalization of diffusabler ions can be quantitated. Quantitative electron probe analysis (Shuman, H., A.V. Somlyo, and A.P. Somlyo. 1976. Ultramicros. 1:317-339.) of freeze-dried ultrathin cryto sections was found to provide a valid measure of the composition of cells and cellular organelles and was used to determine the ionic composition of the in situ terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), the distribution of CI in skeletal muscle, and the effects of hypertonic solutions on the subcellular composition if striated muscle. There was no evidence of sequestered CI in the terminal cisternae of resting muscles, although calcium (66mmol/kg dry wt +/- 4.6 SE) was detected. The values of [C1](i) determined with small (50-100 nm) diameter probes over cytoplasm excluding organelles over nuclei or terminal cisternae were not significantly different. Mitochondria partially excluded C1, with a cytoplasmic/ mitochondrial Ci ratio of 2.4 +/- 0.88 SD. The elemental concentrations (mmol/kg dry wt +/- SD) of muscle fibers measured with 0.5-9-μm diameter electron probes in normal frog striated muscle were: P, 302 +/- 4.3; S, 189 +/- 2.9;C1, 24 +/- 1.1;K, 404 +/- 4.3, and Mg, 39 +/- 2.1. It is concluded that: (a) in normal muscle the "excess CI" measured with previous bulk chemical analyses and flux studies is not compartmentalized in the SR or in other cellular organelles, and (b) the cytoplasmic C1 in low [K](0) solutions exceeds that predicted by a passive electrochemical distribution. Hypertonic 2.2 X NaCl, 2.5 X sucrose, or 2.2 X Na isethionate produced: (a) swollen vacuoles, frequently paired, adjacent to the Z lines and containing significantly higher than cytoplasmic concentrations of Na and Cl or S (isethionate), but no detectable Ca, and (b) granules of Ca, Mg, and P = approximately (6 Ca + 1 Mg)/6P in the longitudinal SR. It is concluded that hypertonicity produces compartmentalized domains of extracellular solutes within the muscle fibers and translocates Ca into the longitudinal tubules. 相似文献

The work was focused on the investigation of possible dependencies between the development of viral infection in plants and the presence of high heavy metal concentrations in soil. Field experiments have been conducted in order to study the development of systemic tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection in Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Miliana plants under effect of separate salts of heavy metals Cu, Zn and Pb deposited in soil. As it is shown, simultaneous effect of viral infection and heavy metals in tenfold maximum permissible concentration leads to decrease of total chlorophyll content in experiment plants mainly due to the degradation of chlorophyll a. The reduction of chlorophyll concentration under the combined influence of both stress factors was more serious comparing to the separate effect of every single factor. Plants' treatment with toxic concentrations of lead and zinc leaded to slight delay in the development of systemic TMV infection together with more than twofold increase of virus content in plants that may be an evidence of synergism between these heavy metal's and virus' effects. Contrary, copper although decreased total chlorophyll content but showed protective properties and significantly reduced amount of virus in plants. 相似文献

We demonstrated that increasing intracellular cAMP concentrations result in the inhibition of migration of PANC-1 and other pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell types. The rise of cAMP was accompanied by rapid and reversible cessation of ruffling, by inhibition of focal adhesion turnover and by prominent loss of paxillin from focal adhesions. All these phenomena develop rapidly suggesting that cAMP effectors have a direct influence on the cellular migratory apparatus. The role of two primary cAMP effectors, exchange protein activated by cAMP (EPAC) and protein kinase A (PKA), in cAMP-mediated inhibition of PDAC cell migration and migration-associated processes was investigated. Experiments with selective activators of EPAC and PKA demonstrated that the inhibitory effect of cAMP on migration, ruffling, focal adhesion dynamics and paxillin localisation is mediated by PKA, whilst EPAC potentiates migration. 相似文献

The remarkable recent discoveries of the proteins mediating mitochondrial Ca(2+) transport (reviewed in this issue) provide an exciting opportunity to utilise this new knowledge to improve our fundamental understanding of relationships between Ca(2+) signalling and bioenergetics and, importantly, to improve the understanding of diseases in which Ca(2+) toxicity and mitochondrial malfunction play a crucial role. Ca(2+) is an important activator of exocrine secretion, a regulator of the bioenergetics of exocrine cells and a contributor to exocrine cell damage. Exocrine secretory cells, exocrine tissues and diseases affecting exocrine glands (like Sj?gren's syndrome and acute pancreatitis) will, therefore, provide worthy research areas for the application of this new knowledge of the Ca(2+) transport mechanisms in mitochondria. 相似文献

The single most difficult problem in phylogenetic analysis is deciding
whether a shared taxonomic character is due to common ancestry or one that
appeared independently due to convergence, parallelism, or reversion to an
ancestral state. Mammalian L1 retrotransposons undergo periodic
amplifications in which multiple copies of the elements are interspersed in
the genome. Because these elements apparently are transmitted only by
inheritance and are retained in the genome, a shared L1 amplification event
can only be an inherited ancestral character. We propose that L1
amplification events can be an excellent tool for analyzing mammalian
evolution and demonstrate here how we addressed several refractory problems
in rodent systematics using L1 DNA as a taxonomic character.

Orai1 proteins have been recently identified as subunits of SOCE (store-operated Ca2? entry) channels. In primary isolated PACs (pancreatic acinar cells), Orai1 showed remarkable co-localization and co-immunoprecipitation with all three subtypes of IP?Rs (InsP? receptors). The co-localization between Orai1 and IP?Rs was restricted to the apical part of PACs. Neither co-localization nor co-immunoprecipitation was affected by Ca2? store depletion. Importantly we also characterized Orai1 in basal and lateral membranes of PACs. The basal and lateral membranes of PACs have been shown previously to accumulate STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) puncta as a result of Ca2? store depletion. We therefore conclude that these polarized secretory cells contain two pools of Orai1: an apical pool that interacts with IP?Rs and a basolateral pool that interacts with STIM1 following the Ca2? store depletion. Experiments on IP?R knockout animals demonstrated that the apical Orai1 localization does not require IP?Rs and that IP?Rs are not necessary for the activation of SOCE. However, the InsP?-releasing secretagogue ACh (acetylcholine) produced a negative modulatory effect on SOCE, suggesting that activated IP?Rs could have an inhibitory effect on this Ca2? entry mechanism. 相似文献
