The detailed mechanism of how lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) suppresses endothelium-dependent vasodilatation is unclear at present. We investigated the effects of LPC on endothelial intracellular calcium (EC [Ca(2+)](i)) signaling and vascular tone simultaneously using a new technique we developed. Fura-2-labeled rat aortic specimens were mounted in a tissue flow chamber and precontracted with phenylephrine (5 x 10(-8) M). Under either basal or agonist-stimulated conditions, the EC [Ca(2+)](i) level was calculated from fura 2 fluorescence ratio images, and the vascular tone was estimated by measuring the relative displacement of the fluorescence images. Although both acetylcholine (ACh)-induced EC [Ca(2+)](i) elevation and the concomitant vasorelaxation were partially suppressed in specimens pretreated with LPC (20 microM), the quantitative relationship between EC [Ca(2+)](i) elevation and the corresponding vasorelaxation was unaffected. A high concentration of LPC (40 microM) completely eliminated ACh-evoked [Ca(2+)](i) elevation and vasodilatation. It has been reported that exposing vascular tissue to a calcium-free buffer causes a reduction in the EC [Ca(2+)](i) level and the accompanying vasoconstriction. Pretreatment with 20 microM LPC reduced the basal EC [Ca(2+)](i) level and abolished the calcium-free solution-induced EC [Ca(2+)](i) reduction and vasoconstriction. We conclude that LPC impairs endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation mainly by reducing the basal EC [Ca(2+)](i) level and suppressing agonist-evoked EC [Ca(2+)](i) signaling. 相似文献

Preload-induced changes of active tension and [Ca2+]i are “dissociated” in mammalian myocardium. This study aimed to describe the distinct effects of preload at low and physiological
[Ca2+]o. Rat RV papillary muscles were studied in isometric conditions at 25‡C and 0.33 Hz at 1 mM (hypo-Ca group) and 2.5 mM [Ca2+]o (normal-Ca group). [Ca2+]i was monitored with fura-2/AM. Increase of preload caused a rise of active tension in hypo-Ca and normal-Ca groups whereas
peak fluorescence rose significantly only at low [Ca2+]o. End-diastolic tension, end-diastolic level of fluorescence, time-to-peak tension, but not time-to-peak of Ca2+ transient, progressively increased with preload. Mechanical relaxation decelerated with preload while Ca2+ transient decay time decreased in the initial phase and increased in the late phase, resulting in a prominent “bump” configuration.
The “bump” was assessed as a ratio of its area to the fluorescence trace area. It was a new finding that the preload-induced
rise of this ratio was twice as large in hypo-Ca. Our results indicate that preload-induced changes in active tension and
[Ca2+]i are “dissociated” in rat myocardium, with relatively higher expression at low [Ca2+]o. Ca-dependence of Ca-TnC association/dissociation kinetics is thought to be a main contributor to these preload-induced effects. 相似文献

Methionine and cysteine residues in proteins are the major targets of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The present work was
designed to characterize the impact of methionine and cysteine oxidation upon [Ca2+]i in hippocampal neurons. We investigated the effects of H2O2 and chloramine T(Ch-T) agents known to oxidize both cysteine and methionine residues, and 5, 5′-dithio-bis (2-nitrobenzoic
acid) (DTNB)—a cysteine-specific oxidant, on the intracellular calcium in hippocampal neurons. The results showed that these
three oxidants, 1 mM H2O2, 1 mM Ch-T, and 500 μM DTNB, induced an sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i by 76.1 ± 3.9%, 86.5 ± 5.0%, and 24.4 ± 3.2% over the basal level, respectively. The elevation induced by H2O2 and Ch-T was significantly higher than DTNB. Pretreatment with reductant DTT at 1 mM for 10 min completely prevented the
action of DTNB on [Ca2+]i, but only partially reduced the effects of H2O2 and Ch-T on [Ca2+]i, the reductions were 44.6 ± 4.2% and 29.6 ± 6.1% over baseline, respectively. The elevation of [Ca2+]i induced by H2O2 and Ch-T after pretreatment with DTT were statistically higher than that induced by single administration of DTNB. Further
investigation showed that the elevation of [Ca2+]i mainly resulted from internal calcium stores. From our data, we propose that methionine oxidation plays an important role
in the regulation of intracellular calcium and this regulation may mainly be due to internal calcium stores. 相似文献

Translocation of vesicles within the cytoplasm is essential to normal cell function. The vesicles are typically transported
along the microtubules to their destination. The aim of this study was to characterize the vesicular movement in resting and
stimulated renal epithelial cells. MDCK cells loaded with either quinacrine or acridine orange, dyes taken up by acidic vesicles,
were observed at 37°C in semiopen perfusion chambers. Time-lapse series were analyzed by Imaris software. Our data revealed
vigorous movement of stained vesicles in resting MDCK cells. These movements seem to require intact microtubules because nocodazole
leads to a considerable reduction of the vesicular movements. Interestingly, we found that extracellular ATP caused the vesicular
movement to cease. This observation was obvious in time lapse. Similarly, other stimuli known to increase the intracellular
Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in MDCK cells (increment in the fluid flow rate or arginine vasopressin) also reduced the vesicular movement. These findings
were quantified by analysis of single vesicular movement patterns. In this way, ATP was found to reduce the lateral displacement
of the total population of vesicles by 40%. Because all these perturbations increase [Ca2+]i, we speculated that this increase in [Ca2+]i was responsible for the vesicle arrest. Therefore, we tested the effect of the Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin (1 μM), which in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ resulted in a considerable and sustained reduction of vesicular movement amounting to a 58% decrease in average lateral vesicular
displacement. Our data suggest that vesicles transported on microtubules are paused when subjected to high intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. This may provide an additional explanation for the cytotoxic effect of high [Ca2+]i. 相似文献

Summary Discrepancies about the role of L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) in acetylcholine (ACh)-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations in tracheal smooth muscle cells (TSMCs) have been seen in recent reports. We demonstrate here that ACh-induced
[Ca2+]i oscillations in TMCS were reversibly inhibited by three VGCC blockers, nicardipine, nifedipine and verapamil. Prolonged (several
minutes) application of VGCC blockers, led to tachyphylaxis; that is, [Ca2+]i oscillations resumed, but at a lower frequency. Brief (15–30 s) removal of VGCC blockers re-sensitized [Ca2+]i oscillations to inhibition by the agents. Calcium oscillations tolerant to VGCC blockers were abolished by KB-R7943, an inhibitor
of the reverse mode of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX). KB-R7943 alone also abolished ACh-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations. Enhancement of the reverse mode of NCX via removing extracellular Na+ reversed inhibition of ACh-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations by VGCC blockers. Inhibition of non-selective cation channels using Gd3+ slightly reduced the frequency of ACh-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations, but did not prevent the occurrence of tachyphylaxis. Altogether, these results suggest that VGCC and the reverse
mode of NCX are two primary Ca2+ entry pathways for maintaining ACh-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations in TSMCs. The two pathways complement each other, and may account for tachyphylaxis of ACh-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations to VGCC blockers. 相似文献

We investigated the contribution of L-, N- and P/Q-type Ca2+ channels to the [Ca2+]i changes, evoked by kainate, in the cell bodies of hippocampal neurons, using a pharmacological approach and Ca2+ imaging. Selective Ca2+ channel blockers, namely nitrendipine, ω-Conotoxin GVIA (ω-GVIA) and ω-Agatoxin IVA (ω-AgaIVA) were used. The [Ca2+]i changes evoked by kainate presented a high variability, and were abolished by NBQX, a AMPA/kainate receptor antagonist, but
the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, D-AP5, was without effect. Each Ca2+ channel blocker caused differential inhibitory effects on [Ca2+]i responses evoked by kainate. We grouped the neurons for each blocker in three subpopulations: (1) neurons with responses
below 60% of the control; (2) neurons with responses between 60% and 90% of the control, and (3) neurons with responses above
90% of the control. The inhibition caused by nitrendipine was higher than the inhibition caused by ω-GVIA or ω-AgaIVA. Thus,
in the presence of nitrendipine, the percentage of cells with responses below 60% of the control was 41%, whereas in the case
of ω-GVIA or ω-AgaIVA the values were 9 or 17%, respectively. The results indicate that hippocampal neurons differ in what
concerns their L-, N- and P/Q- type Ca2+ channels activated by stimulation of the AMPA/kainate receptors.

Background
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that move along actin filaments, and serve as calcium stores in plant cells. The positioning and dynamics of mitochondria depend on membrane-cytoskeleton interactions, but it is not clear whether microfilament cytoskeleton has a direct effect on mitochondrial function and Ca2+ storage. Therefore, we designed a series of experiments to clarify the effects of actin filaments on mitochondrial Ca2+ storage, cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c), and the interaction between mitochondrial Ca2+ and cytoplasmic Ca2+ in Arabidopsis root hairs. 相似文献9.

Thiamine (vitamin B1) is co-factor for three pivotal enzymes for glycolytic metabolism: pyruvate dehydrogenase, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and transketolase. Thiamine deficiency leads to neurodegeneration of several brain regions, especially the cerebellum. In addition, several neurodegenerative diseases are associated with impairments of glycolytic metabolism, including Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, understanding the link between dysfunction of the glycolytic pathway and neuronal death will be an important step to comprehend the mechanism and progression of neuronal degeneration as well as the development of new treatment for neurodegenerative states. Here, using an in vitro model to study the effects of thiamine deficiency on cerebellum granule neurons, we show an increase in Ca2+ current density and CaV1.2 expression. These results indicate a link between alterations in glycolytic metabolism and changes to Ca2+ dynamics, two factors that have been implicated in neurodegeneration. 相似文献

A theoretical study of a sandwich compound with a metal monolayer sheet between two aromatic ligands is presented. A full
geometry optimization of the [Au3Cl3Tr2]2+ (1) compound, which is a triangular gold(I) monolayer sheet capped by chlorines and bounded to two cycloheptatrienyl (Tr)
ligands was carried out using perturbation theory at the MP2 computational level and DFT. Compound (1) is in agreement with
the 18–electron rule, the bonding nature in the complex may be interpreted from the donation interaction coming from the Tr
rings to the Au array, and from the back-donation from the latter to the former. NICS calculations show a strong aromatic
character in the gold monolayer sheet and Tr ligands; calculations done with HOMA, also report the same aromatic behavior
on the cycloheptatrienyl fragments giving us an insight on the stability of (1). The Au –Au bond lengths indicate that an
intramolecular aurophilic interaction among the Au(I) cations plays an important role in the bonding of the central metal
sheet.

Plant calcium pumps, similarly to animal Ca2+ pumps, belong to the superfamily of P-type ATPase comprising also the plasma membrane H+-ATPase of fungi and plants, Na+/K+ ATPase of animals and H+/K+ ATPase of mammalian gastric mucosa. According to their sensitivity to calmodulin the plant Ca2+-ATPases have been divided into two subgroups: type IIA (homologues of animal SERCA) and type IIB (homologues of animal PMCA).
Regardless of the similarities in a protein sequence, the plant Ca2+ pumps differ from those in animals in their cellular localization, structure and sensitivity to inhibitors. Genomic investigations
revealed multiplicity of plant Ca2+-ATPases; they are present not only in the plasma membranes and ER but also in membranes of most of the cell compartments,
such as vacuole, plastids, nucleus or Golgi apparatus. Studies using yeast mutants made possible the functional and biochemical
characterization of individual plant Ca2+-ATMPases. Plant calcium pumps play an essential role in signal transduction pathways, they are responsible for the regulation
of [Ca2+] in both cytoplasm and endomembrane compartments. These Ca2+-ATPases appear to be involved in plant adaptation to stress conditions, like salinity, chilling or anoxia. 相似文献

The Ca2+-conducting pathway of myocytes isolated from the cricket lateral oviduct was investigated by means of the whole-cell patch clamp technique. In voltage-clamp configuration, two types of whole cell inward currents were identified. One was voltage-dependent, initially activated at –40 mV and reaching a maximum at 10 mV with the use of 140 mM Cs2+-aspartate in the patch pipette and normal saline in the bath solution. Replacement of the external Ca2+ with Ba2+ slowed the current decay. Increasing the external Ca2+ or Ba2+ concentration increased the amplitude of the inward current and the current–voltage (I–V) relationship was shifted as expected from a screening effect on negative surface charges. The inward current could be carried by Na+ in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Current carried by Na+ (I
Na) was almost completely blocked by the dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel antagonist, nifedipine, suggesting that the I
Na is through voltage-dependent L-type Ca2+ channels. The other inward current is voltage-independent and its I–V relationship was linear between –100 mV to 0 mV with a slight inward rectification at more hyperpolarizing membrane potentials when 140 mM Cs+-aspartate and 140 mM Na+-gluconate were used in the patch pipette and in the bath solution, respectively. A similar current was observed even when the external Na+ was replaced with an equimolar amount of K+ or Cs+, or 50 mM Ca2+ or Ba2+. When the osmolarity of the bath solution was reduced by removing mannitol from the bath solution, the inward current became larger at negative potentials. The I–V relationship for the current evoked by the hypotonic solution also showed a linear relationship between –100 mV to 0 mV. Bath application of Gd3+ (10 M) decreased the inward current activated by membrane hyperpolarization. These results clearly indicate that the majority of current activated by a membrane hyperpolarization is through a stretch-activated Ca2+-permeable nonselective cation channel (NSCC). Here, for the first time, we have identified voltage-dependent L-type Ca2+ channel and stretch-activated Ca2+-permeable NSCCs from enzymatically isolated muscle cells of the cricket using the whole-cell patch clamp recording technique.Abbreviations

In the absence of exogenous Ca2+ and Mg2+ and in the presence of EGTA, which favours the release of endogenous Ca2+, the polyamine spermine is able to stimulate the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) of energized rat liver
mitochondria (RLM). This stimulation exhibits a gradual concentration-dependent trend, which is maximum, about 140%, at 0.5 mM
concentration, after 30 min of incubation. At concentrations higher than 0.5 mM, spermine still stimulates PDC, when compared
with the control, but shows a slight dose-dependent decrease. Changes in PDC stimulation are very close to the phosphorylation
level of the E1α subunit of PDC, which regulates the activity of the complex, but it is also the target of spermine. In other words, progressive
dephosphorylation gradually enhances the stimulation of RLM and progressive phosphorylation slightly decreases it. These results
provide the first evidence that, when transported in RLM, spermine can interact in various ways with PDC, showing dose-dependent
behaviour. The interaction most probably takes place directly on a specific site for spermine on one of the regulatory enzymes
of PDC, i.e. pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase (PDP). The interaction of spermine with PDC may also involve activation of
another regulatory enzyme, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK), resulting in an increase in E1α phosphorylation and consequently reduced stimulation of PDC at high polyamine concentrations. The different effects of spermine
in RLM are discussed, considering the different activities of PDP and PDK isoenzymes. It is suggested that the polyamine at
low concentrations stimulates the isoenzyme PDP2 and at high concentrations it stimulates PDK2. 相似文献

In the present study, the effect of fluoride on intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i) and Ca2+-ATPase of renal cells were examined. Some paradoxical experimental results about the mechanism of fluoride toxicity were observed. In vivo, 48 Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups, and half of rats were treated with sodium fluoride (NaF) by drinking water (per liter of tap water containing 100 mg F-). Compared with the respective control, the level of [Ca2+]i of the kidney in two fluoride-treated rats obviously increased (p < 0.05); and the activity of Ca2+-ATPase in 100 mg F-/L groups with a standard diet did not significantly increase, and the enzyme activity in 100-mg F-/L group with a low-calcium diet decreased significantly compared to the 100 mg F-/L group with a standard diet (p < 0.05). In vitro, renal tubular cells were cultured and respectively exposed to 1.0, 5.0, 7.5, and 12.5 mg/L fluoride in the culture medium. Results showed the significantly elevated activity of Ca2+-ATPase in the cells exposed to 1.0 and 5.0 mg/L fluoride (p < 0.05), and this enzyme activity indicated inhibitory trend in cells of the 7.5- and 12.5-mg/L fluoride-treated group. To sum up, the effect of fluoride on Ca2+-ATPase is a similar to a dose-effect relationship phenomenon characterized by low-dose stimulation and high-dose inhibition, and the increase of [Ca2+]i probably plays a key role on the mechanism of renal injury in fluorosis. 相似文献

Our previous results have demonstrated that both nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are involved in the promotion of adventitious root development in marigold (Tagetes erecta L.). However, not much is known about the intricate molecular network of adventitious root development triggered by NO and
H2O2. In this study, the involvement of calcium (Ca2+) and calmodulin (CaM) in NO- and H2O2-induced adventitious rooting in marigold was investigated. Exogenous Ca2+ was capable of promoting adventitious rooting, with a maximal biological response at 50 μM CaCl2. Ca2+ chelators and CaM antagonists prevented NO- and H2O2-induced adventitious rooting, indicating that both endogenous Ca2+ and CaM may play crucial roles in the adventitious rooting induced by NO and H2O2. NO and H2O2 treatments increased the endogenous content of Ca2+ and CaM, suggesting that NO and H2O2 enhanced adventitious rooting by stimulating the endogenous Ca2+ and CaM levels. Moreover, treatment with Ca2+ enhanced the endogenous levels of NO and H2O2. Additionally, Ca2+ might be involved as an upstream signaling molecule for CaM during NO- and H2O2-induced rooting. Altogether, the results suggest that both Ca2+ and CaM are two downstream signaling molecules in adventitious rooting induced by NO and H2O2. 相似文献

Calcium (Ca2+) plays diverse roles in all living organisms ranging from bacteria to humans. It is a structural element for bones, an essential mediator of excitation-contraction coupling, and a universal second messenger in the regulation of ion channel, enzyme and gene expression activities. In mitochondria, Ca2+ is crucial for the control of energy production and cellular responses to metabolic stress. Ca2+ uptake by the mitochondria occurs by the uniporter mechanism. The Mitochondrial Ca2+ Uniporter (MCU) protein has recently been identified as a core component responsible for mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake. MCU knockout (MCU KO) studies have identified a number of important roles played by this high capacity uptake pathway. Interestingly, this work has also shown that MCU-mediated Ca2+ uptake is not essential for vital cell functions such as muscle contraction, energy metabolism and neurotransmission. Although mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake was markedly reduced, MCU KO mitochondria still contained low but detectable levels of Ca2+. In view of the fundamental importance of Ca2+ for basic cell signalling, this finding suggests the existence of other currently unrecognized pathways for Ca2+ entry. We review the experimental evidence for the existence of alternative Ca2+ influx mechanisms and propose how these mechanisms may play an integral role in mitochondrial Ca2+ signalling. 相似文献

Summary Calcium binding protein-1 (CaBP1) is a calmodulin like protein shown to modulate Ca2+ channel activities. Here, we explored the functions of long and short spliced CaBP1 variants (L- and S-CaBP1) in modulating
stimulus-secretion coupling in primary cultured bovine chromaffin cells. L- and S-CaBP1 were cloned from rat brain and fused
with yellow fluorescent protein at the C-terminal. When expressed in chromaffin cells, wild-type L- and S-CaBP1s could be
found in the cytosol, plasma membrane and a perinuclear region; in contrast, the myristoylation-deficient mutants were not
found in the membrane. More than 20 and 70% of Na+ and Ca2+ currents, respectively, were inhibited by wild-type isoforms but not myristoylation-deficient mutants. The [Ca2+]
i
response evoked by high K+ buffer and the exocytosis elicited by membrane depolarizations were inhibited only by wild-type isoforms. Neuronal Ca2+ sensor-1 and CaBP5, both are calmodulin-like proteins, did not affect Na+, Ca2+ currents, and exocytosis. When expressed in cultured cortical neurons, the [Ca2+]
i
responses elicited by high-K+ depolarization were inhibited by CaBP1 isoforms. In HEK293T cells cotransfected with N-type Ca2+ channel and L-CaBP1, the current was reduced and activation curve was shifted positively. These results demonstrate the importance
of CaBP1s in modulating the stimulus-secretion coupling in excitable cells.

Inorganic ions have been used widely to investigate biophysical properties of high voltage-activated calcium channels (HVA:
Cav1 and Cav2 families). In contrast, such information regarding low voltage-activated calcium channels (LVA: Cav3 family) is less documented. We have studied the blocking effect of Cd2+, Co2+ and Ni2+ on T-currents expressed by human Cav3 channels: Cav3.1, Cav3.2, and Cav3.3. With the use of the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique, we have recorded Ca2+ (2 mM) currents from HEK−293 cells stably expressing recombinant T-type channels. Cd2+ and Co2+ block was 2- to 3-fold more potent for Cav3.2 channels (EC50 = 65 and 122 μM, respectively) than for the other two LVA channel family members. Current-voltage relationships indicate
that Co2+ and Ni2+ shift the voltage dependence of Cav3.1 and Cav3.3 channels activation to more positive potentials. Interestingly, block of those two Cav3 channels by Co2+ and Ni2+ was drastically increased at extreme negative voltages; in contrast, block due to Cd2+ was significantly decreased. This unblocking effect was slightly voltage-dependent. Tail-current analysis reveals a differential
effect of Cd2+ on Cav3.3 channels, which can not close while the pore is occupied with this metal cation. The results suggest that metal cations
affect differentially T-type channel activity by a mechanism involving the ionic radii of inorganic ions and structural characteristics
of the channels pore. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that micromolar concentrations of calmodulin inhibitor calmidazolium induce fast activation of nonselective Ca2+ channels in plasma membranes of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells (Zinchenko, V.P., Kasymov, V.A., Li, V.V., and Kaimachnikov, N.P., Biofizika (Rus.), 2005, vol. 50 (6), pp. 1055–1069). In order to detect this type of Ca2+ channels in other cells and to establish common regulatory mechanisms, we studied calmidazolium effects on rat thymocytes. It was found that calmidazolium induces biphasic increases in Ca2+ content in cytosol of rat thymocytes due to Ca2+ entry from external medium and reflects the activity of nonselective Ca2+ channels permeable for Mn2+ and Ni2+ ions. The rate and the amplitude of the fast phase are decreased, while those of the slow phase are increased in the presence of specific inhibitors of Ca2+-independent phospholipase A2 (bromoenol lactone and palmitoyl trifluoromethyl ketone). The rate and the amplitude of the fast phase are also inhibited by arachidonic acid and the lipoxygenase inhibitor nordihydroguaiaretic acid, while the Ca2+-dependent phospholipase A2 inhibitor bromophenacyl bromide, the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin, the specific store-operated Ca2+ channel inhibitor gadolinium and the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 have no such effect. The rate of the fast phase only slightly depends on temperature, while that of the slow phase shows a strong temperature dependence and increases with a rise in temperatures (Q 10 = 2). The amplitude of the fast phase of the Ca2+ signal increases with a decrease of temperatures due to prolongation of the maximum activity of the Ca2+ channel. The data obtained suggest that iPLA2 is an intermediate link in the activation of calmidazolium-induced nonselective Ca2+ channels. The iPLA2 products lysophospholipids and arachidonic acid activate and inhibit Ca2+ channels, respectively. The fact that these compounds manifest different affinities for Ca2+ channels shed additional light on the mechanisms of biphasic Ca2+ elevation in thymus cell cytosol and prolongation of the active state of Ca2+ channels at low temperatures. 相似文献

Using Fura-2AM microfluorimetry, it was shown for the first time that phospholipase A2 inhibitors 4-bromophenacyl bromide and glucocorticosteroids prednisolone and dexamethasone attenuate Ca2+ responses induced by neuroleptic trifluoperazine in macrophages. The results suggest the involvement of phospholipase A2 and arachidonic acid metabolism cascade in the effect of trifluoperazine on intracellular Ca2+ concentration in macrophages. 相似文献
