Four early events of egg fertilization, changes in intracellular calcium concentration and intracellular pH, reorientation of the surface membrane, and the elevation of the fertilization envelope, were imaged in real time and in pairs in single sea urchin eggs. The paired imaging allowed the correlation of the four events spatially and temporally. Three of them propagated as waves starting at the sperm entry site. The earliest was the calcium wave, visualized with fluorescent indicator dyes. After a delay of 10 s there followed a large decrease in the fluorescence polarization of membrane-bound dyes, which we interpret as arising from membrane reorientation as a result of cortical granule exocytosis and microvillar elongation. With a further delay of 15 s the fertilization envelope was seen to rise in transmitted light. All three waves propagated with similar velocities of approximately 10 microns/s, supporting the view that calcium triggers the latter two events. The fluorescence polarization changed in two steps with a clear pause of 10-20 s in between. The second step, which also propagated as wave, reflects either further elongation of microvilli or straightening of irregular microvilli. This second step was abolished by cytochalasin B and was coincident with an increase in cytoplasmic pH, suggesting that pH-induced actin reorganization may play a role. The cytoplasmic alkalinization, imaged with a fluorescent probe, was quite different from the other events in that it took place homogeneously throughout the egg and slowly (over 100 s). Apparently, the alkalinization is not on a direct downstream pathway of calcium origin. An opposing possibility, that the alkalinization may in fact be triggered by the traveling calcium wave, is also discussed.  相似文献

Previous work has suggested that the activation of the sea urchin egg at fertilization is the result of a transient increase in intracellular free calcium and an increase in intracellular pH. We have investigated the absence of nuclear activation in incompletely activated eggs and have found a correlation between nuclear activation and the levels of total reduced nicotinamide nucleotides (NAD[P]H). Eggs activated with ammonia show a similar correlation: besides its action as a weak base in raising intracelluar pH (which we conclude is insufficient to stimulate or maintain nuclear activation as judged by nuclear envelope breakdown or DNA synthesis), ammonia increases NAD(P)H. This increase is associated with the stimulation of 6-3H-thymidine incorporation into egg DNA. Removing ammonia decreases NAD(P)H, and tritiated thymidine incorporation ceases. We conclude that a critical level of NAD(P)H is essential to nuclear activation and that the increase of NAD(P)H at fertilization must be included with the increase in calcium and pH as a causal agent in development.  相似文献

Sea urchin egg activation at fertilization is progressive, beginning at the point of sperm entry and moving across the egg with a velocity of 5 microns/s. This activation wave (Kacser, H., 1955, J. Exp. Biol., 32:451-467) has been suggested to be the result of a progressive release of calcium from a store within the egg cytoplasm (Jaffe, L. F., 1983, Dev. Biol., 99:265-276). The progressive release of calcium may be due to the production of inositol trisphosphate (InsP3), a second messenger. We show here that a wave of calcium release crosses the Lytechinus pictus egg; the peak of the wave travels with a velocity of 5 microns/s; microinjection of InsP3 causes the release of calcium within the egg; calcium release (as judged by fertilization envelope elevation) is abolished by prior injection of the calcium chelator EGTA; neomycin, an inhibitor of InsP3 production, does not prevent the release of calcium in response to InsP3 but does abolish the wave of calcium release; the egg cytoplasm rapidly buffers microinjected calcium; the calcium concentration required to cause fertilization membrane elevation when microinjected is very similar to that required to stimulate the production of InsP3 in vitro; and the progressive fertilization membrane elevation seen after microinjection of calcium buffers appears to be due to diffusion of the buffer across the egg cytoplasm rather than to the induction of the activation wave. We conclude that InsP3 diffuses through the egg cytoplasm much more readily than calcium ions and that calcium-stimulated production of InsP3 and InsP3-induced calcium release from an internal store can account for the progressive release of calcium at fertilization.  相似文献

The source and sinks for the intracellular calcium released during fertilization were examined in single eggs from the sea urchin, Arbacia punctulata. Single eggs were microinjected with the calcium photoprotein, aequorin. The calcium-aequorin luminescence was measured with a microscope-photomultiplier or observed with a microscope-image intensifier-video system. In the normal egg a propagated release has been observed. The source of the calcium was investigated in the organelle-stratified centrifuged egg and by the use of mitochondrial uncouplers. In the organelle-stratified centrifuged egg, the calcium-aequorin luminescence was found to originate from the clear zone. The principal constituent of the clear zone is the endoplasmic reticulum. Other potential sources of calcium are the mitochondria. Their contribution to the calcium transient was investigated by exposure of aequorin-injected eggs to mitochondrial uncouplers either before or after fertilization. There was no calcium released from the mitochondria before fertilization. A very large calcium store was released from the mitochondria after fertilization. Interestingly, eggs fertilized in the presence of uncouplers showed no increase in the calcium-aequorin luminescence over untreated eggs. Apparently, in the absence of mitochondrial uptake, other sinks for calcium with affinity and capacity similar to the mitochondria exist, but their nature is unknown. We suggest that the endoplasmic reticulum is the source of the intracellular calcium released upon fertilization and that the mitochondria are the principal sink. The results are discussed with regard to the metabolic activation of the egg.  相似文献

It is generally believed that the initiation of insulin secretion by nutrient stimuli necessitates the generation of metabolic coupling factors, leading to membrane depolarization and the gating of voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels. To establish this sequence of events, the kinetics of endogenous fluorescence of reduced pyridine nucleotides [NAD(P)H], reflecting nutrient metabolism, were compared to those of cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) rises in single cultured rat islet beta-cells. In preliminary experiments, the loss of quinacrine fluorescence from prelabelled cells was used as an indicator of secretion. This dye is concentrated in the acidic insulin-containing secretory granules. Both glucose and 2-ketoisocaproate (KIC) raised [Ca2+]i in a dose-dependent manner. There was marked cellular heterogeneity in the [Ca2+]i response patterns. The two nutrient stimuli also increased NAD(P)H fluorescence, again showing cell-to-cell variations. In combined experiments, where the two parameters were measured in the same cell, the elevation of the NAD(P)H fluorescence preceded the rise in [Ca2+]i, confirming the statistical evaluation performed on separate cells. The application of two consecutive glucose challenges revealed coordinated changes in [Ca2+]i and NAD(P)H fluorescence. Finally, quinacrine secretion was stimulated by two nutrients with onset times similar to those recorded for [Ca2+]i elevations. These results clearly demonstrate that increased metabolism occurs during the lag period preceding Ca2+ influx via voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels, a prerequisite for the triggering of insulin secretion by nutrient stimuli.  相似文献

Calcium waves sweep across most eggs of the deuterostome lineage at fertilization. The precise timing of the initiation and propagation of a fertilization calcium wave has been best studied in sea urchin embryos, since the rapid depolarization caused by sperm egg fusion can be detected as a calcium influx using confocal imaging of calcium indicator dyes. The time between sperm egg fusion and the first sign of the calcium increase that constitutes the calcium wave is comparable to the time it takes for the wave to sweep across the egg, once initiated. The latency and rise time of the calcium response is sensitive to inhibitors of the InsP3 signalling pathway, as reported previously. Using calcium green dextran and confocal microscopy, we confirm that the propagation time of the calcium wave is lengthened and that initiation of the calcium wave involves activation of calcium release at hot spots that may represent clusters of calcium release channels, as has been seen in other cell types.  相似文献

Free calcium wave upon activation in Xenopus eggs   总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16  
Eggs of Xenopus laevis were preloaded with aequorin and the spatial and temporal pattern of free calcium release in the egg cortex on artificial activation was determined by the aequorin luminescence emitted from the thin cortical layer of naturally opaque eggs. The aequorin luminescence was detected with a photonic microscope system consisting of a light microscope and a two-dimensional photon-counting system with an image processor. A free calcium increase was initiated around the point of prick activation. The state of increased Ca2+ propagated in the cortical cytoplasm of the egg as a wave with a velocity of about 8 micron/sec at 22 degrees C. This wave reached the antipode by 5 to 6 min of prick activation. The spatial pattern of the Ca2+ wave was similar to that of changes in brightness of the egg surface on activation, termed the "activation wave" by K. Hara and P. Tydeman (1979, Wilhelm Roux's Arch. Dev. Biol. 186, 91-94). To examine the temporal correlation between the Ca2+ wave and the activation wave, images of aequorin luminescence and those of the egg cortex taken by incident light illumination were recorded alternately in the same egg. The zone of free calcium increase corresponded to the light (relaxation) zone of the activation wave, where exocytosis of cortical granules and elongation of microvilli were taking place.  相似文献

Glucose stimulation of insulin release involves metabolism of the sugar and elevation of cytoplasmic calcium (Ca2+i) in pancreatic B-cells. We compared the dynamic changes of metabolism (fluorescence of endogenous reduced pyridine nucleotides, NAD(P)H), membrane potential (intracellular microelectrodes), and Ca2+i (fura-2 technique), in intact mouse islets. Glucose (15 mM) sequentially triggered an increase in NAD(P)H fluorescence, a depolarization with electrical activity, and a rise in Ca2+i. The change in NAD(P)H was monophasic and regular, whereas the changes in membrane potential and Ca2+i were multiphasic, with steady-state regular oscillations of similar average frequencies (about 2.2/min). Digital image analysis revealed that Ca2+i oscillations were synchronous in all regions of the islets. Omission of extracellular Ca2+ abolished the rise in Ca2+i but not the increase in NAD(P)H. Both electrical and Ca2+i oscillations disappeared in low external Ca2+ (1 mM), and became larger but slower in high Ca2+ (10 mM). Sustained depolarization (by tolbutamide, arginine, or high K+) and hyperpolarization (by diazoxide) of B-cells caused sustained increases and decreases of Ca2+i, respectively. In conclusion, the changes in membrane potential induced by various secretagogues trigger synchronous changes in Ca2+i in all B-cells of the islets. The oscillatory pattern of the electrical and Ca2+i responses induced by glucose is not accompanied by and thus probably not due to similar oscillations of metabolism.  相似文献

Aequorin-injected eggs of the medaka (a fresh water fish) show an explosive rise in free calcium during fertilization, which is followed by a slow return to the resting level. Image intensification techniques now show a spreading wave of high free calcium during fertilization. The wave starts at the animal pole (where the sperm enters) and then traverses the egg as a shallow, roughly 20 degrees-wide band which vanishes at the antipode some minutes later. The peak free calcium concentration within this moving band is estimated to be about 30 microM (perhaps 100-1,000 times the resting level). Eggs activated by ionophore A23187 may show multiple initiation sites. The resulting multiple waves never spread through each other; rather, they fuse upon meeting so as to form spreading waves of compound origin. The fertilization wave is nearly independent of extracellular calcium because it is only slightly slowed (by perhaps 15%) in a medium containing 5 mM ethylene glycol-bis[beta-aminoethyl ether]N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) and no deliberately added calcium. It is also independent of the large cortical vesicles, which may be centrifugally displaced. Normally, however, it distinctly precedes the well-known wave of cortical vesicle exocytosis. We conclude that the fertilization wave in the medaka egg is propagated by calcium-stimulated calcium release, primarily from some internal sources other than the large cortical vesicles. A comparison of the characteristics of the exocytotic wave in the medaka with that in other eggs, particularly in echinoderm eggs, suggests that such a propagated calcium wave is a general feature of egg activation.  相似文献

A transient rise in the concentration of Ca2+ in the cortex upon fertilization was demonstrated in medaka eggs injected with aequorin. Detection of the aequorin luminescence with an ultra-high sensitivity photonic microscope system revealed a wave of increased Ca2+ concentration starting at the site of sperm entry (animal pole) and being propagated along the cortex of the egg toward the antipode. The wave traversed the entire egg surface within 2–3 min. The peak value of the aequorin luminescence, and therefore the peak value of the Ca2+ transient, was generally higher at the site of sperm entry than in other regions. The peak values of the luminescence (and therefore of the Ca2+ concentration in the cortex) remained fairly constant during propagation of the wave. Microinjection of Ca2+ into the cortex also induced a Ca2+ wave. When the egg was stimulated by microinjection of Ca2+ at the equatorial region, the Ca2+ wave was propagated at a fairly constant speed over the egg surface, except at the region near the vegetal pole where the wave was retarded. Simultaneous recording of the Ca2+ wave and the wave of cortical change (breakdown of cortical alveoli) in eggs during fertilization revealed that the Ca2+ wave preceded the wave of cortical change.
A Ca2+ wave was also demonstrated in sand dollar eggs, although due to their smaller size the phenomenon was not as clear as in medaka eggs.  相似文献

Changes in the state of actin assembly triggered by fertilization or by artificial activation of sea urchin eggs were quantified using the DNase I inhibition assay. Insemination of Lytechinus pictus or Strongylocentrotus purpuratus eggs induces a cyclic variation in the level of G-actin as follows: between 0 and 30 s after insemination, the G-actin content decreases. This is followed by an increase in the amount of monomeric actin between 30 and 60 s, and then from 60 s to 5 min postinsemination there is a progressive decrease in the egg's level of G-actin. This latter decrease is more pronounced in S. purpuratus eggs than in L. pictus eggs. Using sperm mimetics that trigger an increase in intracellular calcium concentration (A23187 in sodium-free seawater), a cytoplasmic alkalinization (NH4Cl), a plasma membrane depolarization (seawater enriched with potassium ions), or all three of these phenomena (A23187 in normal seawater), each phase depicted at fertilization correlates with the following metabolic events accompanying egg awakening: phase 1, of uncertain origin (possibly related to plasma membrane depolarization); phase 2, elevation of intracellular calcium concentration; phase 3, alkalinization of the intracellular milieu but only if the transient intracellular calcium rise has taken place.  相似文献

Abrupt cessation of lung perfusion induces a rapid endothelial response that is not associated with anoxia but reflects loss of normal shear stress. This response includes membrane depolarization, H(2)O(2) generation, and increased intracellular Ca(2+). We evaluated these parameters immediately upon nonhypoxic ischemia using fluorescence videomicroscopy to image in situ endothelial cells in isolated, ventilated rat lungs. Lungs labeled with 4-(2-[6-(dioctylamino)-2-naphthalenyl]ethenyl)1-(3-sulfopropyl)-pyridinium (di-8-ANEPPS; a membrane potential probe), Amplex Red (an extracellular H(2)O(2) probe), or fluo 3-AM (a Ca(2+) indicator) were subjected to control perfusion followed by global ischemia. Endothelial di-8-ANEPPS fluorescence increased significantly within the first second of ischemia and stabilized at 15 s, indicating membrane depolarization by approximately 17 mV; depolarization was blocked by preperfusion with the K(+) channel agonist lemakalim. Increased H(2)O(2), inhibitable by catalase, was detected in the vascular space at 1-2 s after the onset of ischemia. Increased intracellular Ca(2+) was detected 10-15 s after the onset of ischemia; the initial increase was inhibited by preperfusion with thapsigargin. Thus the temporal sequence of the initial response of endothelial cells in situ to loss of shear stress (i.e., ischemia) is as follows: membrane depolarization, H(2)O(2) release, and increased intracellular Ca(2+).  相似文献

Eggs of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis were loaded with the calcium indicator fura-2 via whole-cell clamp electrodes and changes in cytoplasmic calcium and cell currents were monitored during fertilization either in separate eggs or simultaneously in the same egg. The first indication of egg activation was the fertilization current; which reached peak values around 1 nA after 30 s. A wave of elevated calcium was detectable between 5 s and 30 s (mean = 21 s) after the start of the fertilization current. This wave spread across the egg increasing cytoplasmic calcium levels to at least 10 microM. When the fertilization current and calcium wave were complete and cytoplasmic calcium levels were decreasing to prefertilization levels, a cortical contraction wave spread across the egg surface. In eggs showing normal fertilization current, the calcium wave and the contraction wave were in the same direction. A region of elevated calcium persisted at the animal pole. Changing cytoplasmic calcium levels locally by local application of ionophore A23187 caused a contraction wave originating at the site of ionophore application. Increasing cytoplasmic calcium uniformly by facilitating calcium entry through voltage-regulated channels did not result in a contraction wave.  相似文献

After fertilization in Xenopus laevis, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) mass increased from 53 to 261 fmol/cell and returned to near basal by 10 min after insemination. IP3 was also elevated over control egg levels during first mitosis and first cleavage. Because IP3 levels and the fertilization calcium wave decline at about the same time and because calcium ionophore or pricking the egg increased IP3, the fertilization calcium wave may be due to calcium-induced IP3 production. In addition, the onset of sperm motility was associated with an increase, whereas the acrosomal reaction was accompanied by a decrease in IP3 mass. Combining our published data with this report, the first chronology of the levels of IP3 from the induction of meiosis (maturation) through fertilization and cleavage in one cellular system is summarized. These data suggest an in vivo dose response for IP3 and calcium release. A small (17 fmol/cell) IP3 change during the induction of meiosis may not be associated with a calcium change. Larger IP3 changes at cleavage (40 fmol/cell) and mitosis (125 fmol/cell) are associated with localized small calcium increases, whereas the largest IP3 change (208 fmol/cell) is associated with the large calcium increase at fertilization.  相似文献

Egg activation is a series of highly coordinated processes that prepare the mature oocyte for embryogenesis. Typically associated with fertilization, egg activation results in many downstream outcomes, including the resumption of the meiotic cell cycle, translation of maternal mRNAs and cross-linking of the vitelline membrane. While some aspects of egg activation, such as initiation factors in mammals and environmental cues in sea animals, have been well-documented, the mechanics of egg activation in insects are less well-understood. For many insects, egg activation can be triggered independently of fertilization. In Drosophila melanogaster, egg activation occurs in the oviduct resulting in a single calcium wave propagating from the posterior pole of the oocyte. Here we use physical manipulations, genetics and live imaging to demonstrate the requirement of a volume increase for calcium entry at egg activation in ex vivo mature Drosophila oocytes. The addition of water, modified with sucrose to a specific osmolarity, is sufficient to trigger the calcium wave in the mature oocyte and the downstream events associated with egg activation. We show that the swelling process is regulated by the conserved osmoregulatory channels, aquaporins and DEGenerin/Epithelial Na+ channels. Furthermore, through pharmacological and genetic disruption, we reveal a concentration-dependent requirement of transient receptor potential M channels to transport calcium, most probably from the perivitelline space, across the plasma membrane into the mature oocyte. Our data establish osmotic pressure as a mechanism that initiates egg activation in Drosophila and are consistent with previous work from evolutionarily distant insects, including dragonflies and mosquitos, and show remarkable similarities to the mechanism of egg activation in some plants.  相似文献

To investigate whether or not causal relationship exists between the increase in intracellular Ca2+ and other cortical reactions at fertilization in the medaka, Oryzias latipes , intracellular Ca2+ was determined from luminescence of aequorin previously microinjected into cortical cytoplasm in acetone-treated eggs, when they were inseminated or activated by microinjection of Ca2+. Neither an increase in cytoplasmic calcium nor exocytosis of cortical alveoli occurred in eggs treated with acetone, though other events of fertilization i.e. completion of meiosis, fusion of pronuclei, and accumulation of cortical cytoplasm with intact cortical alveoli in the animal pole region were observed in normal time sequence in these eggs. When denuded eggs were treated with acetone, contraction of the egg and slow resumption of meiosis (extrusion of polar body) were observed without insemination. When denuded eggs were inseminated immediately after acetone-treatment, the number of spermatozoa that penetrated into the egg was greater in the animal hemisphere than in the vegetal hemisphere. These results may indicate that acetone inactivates the egg plasma membrane or its adjacent cortical cytoplasm so that it cannot participate in a propagative increase in intracellular Ca2+ and exocytosis, while it also induces cytoplasmic activation leading to egg contraction, resumption of meiosis and formation of pronuclei. The present results suggest that sperm penetration, resumption of meiosis and ooplasmic segregation are regulated separately from the release of intracellular Ca2+ and exocytosis.  相似文献

The membrane potentials, rates of NAD(P)H formation, and rates of flavoprotein reduction have been measured for single mitochondria isolated from porcine hearts. These metabolic responses were elicited by the addition of malate and measured using fluorescence microscopy. For the measurements of mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondria were stained with tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester, and the membrane potentials of single mitochondria were determined. Individual mitochondria maintained the membrane potential at around -80 mV before addition of malate. Upon the addition of malate, each mitochondrion was rapidly polarized to around -100 approximately -140 mV and underwent repeated cycles of polarization and depolarization, which were probably caused by openings and closings of permeability transition pores. NAD(P)(+) and flavoprotein were reduced immediately after addition of malate and then slowly became reoxidized. Thus, single mitochondria can undergo rapid and repetitive changes in membrane potential, but not in the redox state of NAD(P)H and flavoprotein.  相似文献

The sperm entry site (SES) of zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) eggs was studied before and during fertilization by fluorescence, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. Rhodamine phalloidin (RhPh), used to detect polymerized filamentous actin, was localized to microvilli of the SES and to cytoplasm subjacent to the plasma membrane in the unfertilized egg. The distribution of RhPh staining at the SES correlated with the ultrastructural localization of a submembranous electrondense layer of cortical cytoplasm approximately 500 nm thick and containing 5- to 6-nm filaments. Actin, therefore, was organized at the SES as a tightly knit meshwork of filaments prior to fertilization. Contact between the fertilizing sperm and the filamentous actin network was observed by 15-20 sec postinsemination or just before the onset of fertilization cone formation. Growing fertilization cones of either artificially activated or inseminated eggs exhibited intense RhPh staining and substantial increase in thickness of the actin meshwork. Collectively, TEM and RhPh fluorescence images of inseminated eggs demonstrated that the submembranous actin became rearranged in fertilization cones to form a thickened meshwork around the sperm nucleus during incorporation. The results reported here suggest that activation of the egg triggers a dramatic polymerization of actin beneath the plasma membrane of the fertilization cone. Furthermore, the actin involved in sperm incorporation is sensitive to the action of cytochalasins.  相似文献

NAADP participates in the response of starfish oocytes to sperm by triggering the fertilization potential (FP) through the activation of a Ca2+ current which depolarizes the membrane to the threshold of activation of the voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this Ca2+ influx is linked to the onset of the concomitant InsP3-mediated Ca2+ wave by simultaneously employing Ca2+ imaging and single-electrode intracellular recording techniques. In control oocytes, the sperm-induced membrane depolarization always preceded by a few seconds the onset of the Ca2+ wave. Strikingly, the self-desensitization of NAADP receptors either abolished the Ca2+ response or resulted in abnormal oocyte activation, i.e., the membrane depolarization followed the Ca2+ wave and the oocyte was polyspermic. The inhibition of InsP3 signaling only impaired the propagation of the Ca2+ wave and shortened the FP. The duration of FP was also reduced in low-Na+ sea water. Finally, uncaged InsP3 produced a Ca2+ increase, which depolarized the membrane upon the activation of a Ca2+-sensitive cation current. These results support the hypothesis that Ca2+ entry during the NAADP-triggered FP is required for the onset of the Ca2+ wave at fertilization. The InsP3-mediated Ca2+ wave, in turn, may interact with the NAADP-evoked depolarization by activating a Ca2+-dependent Na+ entry.  相似文献

We reported previously that egg membrane rafts serve as a subcellular microdomain for sperm-dependent tyrosine kinase signaling in Xenopus fertilization. Moreover, we demonstrated that raft-associated Src tyrosine kinase was activated by sperm in vitro. Here we show that egg rafts incubated with sperm or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can promote Src-dependent phosphorylation of phospholipase Cgamma (PLCgamma) and transient calcium release in the extracts of unfertilized Xenopus eggs. In vivo egg activation by sperm or H2O2 also promotes tyrosine phosphorylation and raft-translocalization of PLCgamma. Immunodepletion of PLCgamma from the egg extracts inhibits the raft-dependent calcium release. Rafts prepared from H2O2-activated eggs also promote Src-dependent dephosphorylation of p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase and cell cycle transition from metaphase II to interphase in egg extracts. PLCgamma phosphorylation and calcium release in egg extracts can be promoted by rafts prepared from COS-7 cells expressing the Xenopus Src gene. These results demonstrate that the signaling events elicited by fertilization in Xenopus eggs can be reconstituted in vitro. The development of such experimental platforms will allow us to dissect the molecular mechanism of sperm-dependent activation of raft-associated Src and subsequent up-regulation of PLCgamma and egg activation machinery in Xenopus eggs.  相似文献
