Treatment with 200 mM ethanol for 6 days increased binding of the Ca2+ channel antagonist, (+)-[3H]PN 200-110, to intact PC12 cells in culture. Enhancement of binding by ethanol was due to an increase in binding site number without appreciable change in binding affinity. Long-term exposure to Ca2+ channel antagonist drugs (nifedipine, verapamil, or diltiazem), which, like ethanol, acutely inhibit Ca2+ flux, failed to alter (+)-[3H]PN 200-110 binding to PC12 membranes. Cotreatment of ethanol-containing cultures with the Ca2+ channel agonist, Bay K 8644, did not attenuate the response to ethanol; instead, chronic exposure to Bay K 8644 alone increased (+)-[3H]PN 200-110 binding. These results suggest that chronic exposure to ethanol increases Ca2+ channel antagonist receptor density in living neural cells, but that acute inhibition of Ca2+ flux by ethanol is unlikely to trigger this response.  相似文献

Microamperometry was used to monitor quantal catecholamine release from individual PC12 cells in response to raised extracellular K+ and caffeine. K+-evoked exocytosis was entirely dependent on Ca2+ influx through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, and of the subtypes of such channels present in these cells, influx through N-type was primarily responsible for triggering exocytosis. L-type channels played a minor role in mediating K+-evoked secretion, whereas P/Q-type channels did not appear to be involved in secretion at all. Caffeine also evoked catecholamine release from PC12 cells, but only in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. Application of caffeine in Ca2+-free solutions evoked large, transient rises of [Ca2+]i, but did not trigger exocytosis. When Ca2+ was restored to the extracellular solution (in the absence of caffeine), store-operated Ca2+ influx was observed, which evoked exocytosis. The amount of secretion evoked by this influx pathway was far greater than release triggered by influx through L-type Ca2+ channels, but less than that caused by Ca2+ influx through N-type channels. Our results indicate that exocytosis may be regulated even in excitable cells by Ca2+ influx through pathways other than voltage-gated Ca2+ channels.  相似文献

Guinea pig brain cortex synaptosomes and neurosecretory PC12 cells were loaded with [3H]3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine ([3H]DA, [3H]dopamine) and then exposed to leptinotoxin-h (LPTx) (purified and partially purified preparations, obtained from the hemolymph of Leptinotarsa haldemani). In a Ca2+-containing Ringer medium the toxin induced prompt and massive release of the neurotransmitter. Half-maximal effects were obtained at concentrations estimated of approximately 3 X 10(-11) M for synaptosomes, and 1.5 X 10(-10) M for PC12 cells. Release responses in the two experimental systems investigated were dependent to different extents on the Ca2+ concentration in the medium. In synaptosomes clear, although slow, release of [3H]DA was elicited by the toxin even in Ca2+-free, EGTA-containing medium, provided that high (in the 10(-10) M range) concentrations were used; near-maximal responses were observed at 10(-5)M Ca2+. In contrast, the toxin-induced release from PC12 cells was appreciable only at 3 X 10(-5) M Ca2+, and was maximal at 2 X 10(-4) M and above. In both synaptosomes and PC12 cells Sr2+ and Ba2+ could substitute for Ca2+; Co2+ was inhibitory, whereas Mn2+ failed to modify the release induced by the toxin in Ca2+-containing medium. Organic blockers of the voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel (verapamil and nitrendipine) and calmodulin blocking drugs (trifluoperazine and calmidazolium) failed to inhibit the toxin-induced release of [3H]DA. LPTx induced profound morphological effects. Synaptosomes treated in the Ca2+-containing medium exhibited fusion of synaptic vesicles, formation of numerous infoldings and large cisternae, and alterations of mitochondria. In the Ca2+-free medium the effects were similar, except that their appearance was delayed, and mitochondria were well preserved. Swelling was observed in PC12 cells, accompanied by enlargement of the Golgi area, accumulation of multivesicular bodies, mitochondrial alterations, and decreased number of secretion granules (Ca2+-containing medium). Morphometric analyses revealed a good correlation between the decrease of both synaptic vesicles (synaptosomes) and neurosecretory granules (PC12 cells), and the release of [3H]DA measured biochemically. This is a good indication that the release effect of the toxin is due to stimulation of exocytosis. Taken as a whole, these results confirm the similarity of the effects of LPTx with alpha-latrotoxin of the black widow spider venom, mentioned in the companion article. However, differences in effect and target specificity suggest that the two toxins are specific to separate binding sites.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

Further Characterization of Dopamine Release by Permeabilized PC 12 Cells   总被引:1,自引:2,他引:1  
Rat pheochromocytoma cells (PC12) permeabilized with staphylococcal alpha-toxin release [3H]dopamine after addition of micromolar Ca2+. This does not require additional Mg2+-ATP (in contrast to bovine adrenal medullary chromaffin cells). We also observed Ca2+-dependent [3H]-dopamine release from digitonin-permeabilized PC12 cells. Permeabilization with alpha-toxin or digitonin and stimulation of the cells were done consecutively to wash out endogenous Mg2+-ATP. During permeabilization, ATP was removed effectively from the cytoplasm by both agents but the cells released [3H]dopamine in response to micromolar Ca2+ alone. Replacement by chloride of glutamate, which could sustain mitochondrial ATP production in permeabilized cells, does not significantly alter catecholamine release induced by Ca2+. However, Mg2+ without ATP augments the Ca2+-induced release. The release was unaltered by thiol-, hydroxyl-, or calmodulin-interfering substances. Thus Mg2+-ATP, calmodulin, or proteins containing -SH or -OH groups are not necessary for exocytosis in permeabilized PC12 cells.  相似文献

Leptinotoxin-h (LPTx), a neurotoxin (otherwise designated beta-leptinotarsin-h) known to stimulate the release of neurotransmitters from synapses, was purified from the hemolymph of the potato beetle, Leptinotarsa haldemani, by a simplification of the procedure originally developed by Crosland et al. [Biochemistry 23, 734-741, (1984)]. Highly and partially purified preparations of the toxin were applied to guinea pig synaptosomes and neurosecretory (PC12) cells. When applied in a Ca2+-containing Ringer medium, at concentrations in the 10(-11) - 10(-10) M range, the toxin induced: (a) rapid depolarization of the plasma membrane, which was not inhibited by organic blockers of voltage-dependent Na+ and Ca2+ channels (tetrodotoxin or verapamil); (b) large 45Ca influx; and (c) increased free cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. These latter two effects were unaffected by verapamil. In Ca2+-free media the effects of the toxin were different in the two systems investigated. In synaptosomes, depolarization was still observed, even if the toxin concentrations needed were higher (approximately 10X) than those effective in the complete medium. In contrast, in PC12 cells no effect of the toxin on membrane potential was observed. Binding of LPTx to its cellular targets could not be investigated directly because the toxin was inactivated by the procedures used for its labeling. Indirect evidence suggested however that Ca2+ is necessary for toxin binding to PC12 cells. Interaction of LPTx with air/water interfaces, as well as with cholesterol/phospholipid mono- and bilayer membranes was investigated. The results indicate that the toxin has affinity for hydrophobic surfaces, but lacks the capacity to insert across membranes unless transpositive voltage is applied. Our results are inconsistent with the previous conclusion of Crosland et al. (1984), who suggested opening of the Ca2+ channel as the mechanism of action of LPTx. The effects of the toxin resemble those of alpha-latrotoxin (alpha-LTx) of the black widow spider venom, and therefore the two toxins might act by similar mechanisms. However, the sites recognized by the two toxins might be different, because LPTx does not inhibit alpha-LTx binding.  相似文献

Addition of the mitogenic lectin concanavalin A to rat spleen cells results in a small increase in the steady-state Ca2+ content of the cells. 45Ca2+ fluxes were measured under conditions where artifacts due to Ca2+ binding to concanavalin A could be excluded. Both 45Ca2+ influx into and efflux from these cells are significantly activated by the lectin. If 45Ca2+ is added 30 min after concanavalin A the rate of influx is further enhanced. The increase in 45Ca2+ influx correlates well with binding of concanavalin A to the cells. At low concentrations (optimal mitogenic) of the lectin (1 and 3 μg/ml) no significant increase in 45Ca2+ influx occurs but an increase in 45Ca2+ efflux is still observed. The results suggest that concanavalin A binding to the cell surface causes an increase in Ca2+ influx into the cells and that activation of Ca2+ efflux occurs as a response to an increase in the cytosolic Ca2+ activity. Thus, Ca2+ may well play a role in triggering lymphocyte activation.  相似文献

Abstract: Methyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitro-4-(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyridine-5-carboxylate (BAY K 8644), an analog of dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonists, stimulated 45Ca uptake into PC12 pheochromocytoma cells. Half-maximal stimulation occurred at 80 n M BAY K 8644. Enhancement of uptake was inhibited by cationic and organic calcium channel blockers, but not by tetrodotoxin, which is consistent with an effect on voltage-dependent calcium channels. Stimulation of 45Ca uptake by BAY K 8644 occurred only at elevated concentrations of extracellular K+, suggesting that BAY K 8644 may interact with calcium channels in the open (activated) state.  相似文献

The coupling of voltage-gated Ca2+ channel (VGCC) to exocytotic proteins suggests a regulatory function for the channel in depolarization-evoked exocytosis. To explore this possibility we have examined catecholamine secretion in PC12 and chromaffin cells. We found that replacing Ca2+ with La3+ or other lanthanide ions supported exocytosis in divalent ion-free solution. Cd2+, nifedipine, or verapamil inhibited depolarization-evoked secretion in La3+, indicating specific binding of La3+ at the pore of L-type VGCC, probably at the poly-glutamate (EEEE) locus. Lanthanide efficacy was stringently dependent on ionic radius with La3+>Ce3+>Pr3+, consistent with a size-selective binding interface of trivalent cations at the channel pore. La3+ inward currents were not detected and the highly sensitive La3+/fura-2 imaging assay (approximately 1 pm) detected no La3+ entry, cytosolic La3+ build-up, or alterations in cytosolic Ca2. These results provide strong evidence that occupancy of the pore of the channel by an impermeable cation leads to a conformational change that is transmitted to the exocytotic machinery upstream of intracellular cation build-up (intracellular Ca2+ concentration). Our model allows for a tight temporal and spatial coupling between the excitatory stimulation event and vesicle fusion. It challenges the conventional view that intracellular Ca2+ ion build-up via VGCC permeation is required to trigger secretion and establishes the VGCC as a plausible Ca2+ sensor protein in the process of neuroendocrine secretion.  相似文献

Abstract: Nerve growth factor (NGF) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) have synergistic effects on the neurite outgrowth of rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. The sites of interaction between NGF and dbcAMP have been studied extensively; however, the role of Ca2+ in differentiation induced by the two agents remains unclear. To understand whether intracellular Ca2+ is involved in the differentiation induced by the two agents, PC12 cells were treated with NGF, dbcAMP, or NGF plus dbcAMP for 2 days, and then effects on neurite outgrowth, ATP-induced Ca2+ influx, and Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular Ca2+ pools were examined. NGF or dbcAMP alone enhanced neurite outgrowth and Ca2+ accumulation by nonmitochondrial Ca2+ pools or the thapsigargin (TG)-sensitive Ca2+ pool. The dbcAMP acted synergistically with NGF to increase neurite outgrowth and to enlarge the TG-sensitive Ca2+ pool. The synergistic effect occurred within the first hour of treatment with dbcAMP plus NGF. On the other hand, dbcAMP abolished NGF's ability to enhance ATP-induced influx of extracellular Ca2+. Therefore, NGF and dbcAMP induced different effects on Ca2+ signaling pathways through two different but interacting pathways. In PC12 cells pretreated with TG to deplete the TG-sensitive Ca2+ pool, the dbcAMP- or dbcAMP plus NGF-mediated neurite outgrowth was significantly inhibited, whereas NGF-mediated neurite outgrowth was not affected by TG pretreatment. Our results suggest that the intracellular nonmitochondrial Ca2+ pools were changed in the differentiation process and were necessary for the synergistic effect of NGF and dbcAMP.  相似文献

Abstract: Effects of barbiturates, diphenylhydantoin, and ethanol on 45Ca2+ binding to acidic lipids have been examined in an organic solvent-aqueous partition system. Hexobarbital, pentobarbital, and phenobarbital, at concentrations of 0.3 and/or 0.6 mM, enhanced the binding of 45Ca2+ to phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylserine, and sulfatide but not to phosphatidylinositol or cardiolipin. Diphenylhydantoin, 0.3 mM, enhanced 45Ca2+ binding to phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylserine but not to sulfatide. Ethanol at 80 mM did not enhance 45Ca2+ binding to phosphatidic acid, but ethanol decreased the binding to cardiolipin and increased it to sulfatide.  相似文献

Effects of Erythropoietin on Neuronal Activity   总被引:28,自引:0,他引:28  
Recently, erythropoietin (EPO) receptors and synthesis of EPO have been identified in the brain. To clarify the effects of EPO on neuronal cells, we investigated the effects of EPO on Ca2+ uptake, intracellular Ca2+ concentration, membrane potential, cell survival, release and biosynthesis of dopamine, and nitric oxide (NO) production in differentiated PC12 cells, which possess EPO receptors. EPO (10(-12)-10(-10) M) increased 45Ca2+ uptake and intracellular Ca2+ concentration in PC12 cells in a dose-related manner; these increases were inhibited by nicardipine (1 microM) or anti-EPO antibody (1:100 dilution). EPO induced membrane depolarization in PC12 cells. After a 5-day culture without serum and nerve growth factor (NGF), viable cell number decreased to 50% of that of the control cells cultured with serum and NGF. EPO (10(-13)-10(-10) M) increased the number of viable cells cultured without serum and NGF; this increase was blunted by nicardipine or anti-EPO antibody. Incubation with EPO (10(-13)-10(-10) M) stimulated mitogen-activated protein kinase activity in PC12 cells. EPO (10(-13)-10(-10) M) increased dopamine release from PC12 cells and tyrosine hydroxylase activity; these increases were sensitive to nicardipine or anti-EPO antibody. Following a 4-h incubation with EPO (10(-14)-10(-10) M), NO production was increased, which was blunted by nicardipine and anti-EPO antibody. In contrast, maximal NO synthase activity was not changed by EPO. These results suggest that EPO stimulates neuronal function and viability via activation of Ca2+ channels.  相似文献

Calcium and photoperiodic flower induction in Pharbitis nil   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The relationship between phytochrome-mediated induction of flowering, Ca2+ transport and metabolism in Pharbitis nil Chois cv. Violet seedlings has been investigated. Ethyleneglycol-bis-(β-aminoethylether)-N,N,N', N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), a specific Ca+ chelator, caused a 30–40% inhibition of flowering in Pharbitis subjected to complete photoperiodic induction. It was most effective when applied during the light period preceding along inductive dark period. The agonist of calcium channels. Bay K-8644, did not affect flowering, while Nifedipine, Verapamil and La3+ (antagonists of calcium channels) only slightly inhibited this process. A similar small effect has been found when the plants were treated with Li+ (inhibitor of the membrane phospholipids pathway), and with chlorpromazine (a camodulin inhibitor). Except for EGTA, the effect of the other substances did not depend on the timing of their application. The results of the present study suggest that the effect of all the substances applied was not specific, and flowering is not directly dependent on transport and intracellular metabolism of Ca2+.  相似文献

The relationship between intrasynaptosomal total (CaT) and free ([Ca2+]i) calcium and 45Ca accumulation was studied under physiological and K(+)-depolarised conditions in rat cortical synaptosomes. Under physiological conditions, CaT (10.7 mM) was approximately 10,000 times higher than [Ca2+]i (118 nM), showing that there is a large reservoir of sequestered calcium in synaptosomes. 45Ca accumulation was rapid (initial rate, 3.4 nmol/mg protein/min), substantial (7 nmol/mg protein in 2 min), and depolarisation dependent, and reached equilibrium after 5 min. At equilibrium, only 10% of CaT was freely exchangeable. This pool was much larger than the free Ca2+ pool. CaT, [Ca2+]i, and 45Ca accumulations were directly related to the Ca2+ concentration in the buffer, suggesting that [Ca2+]i is not highly conserved but is maintained by simple equilibria between the various pools. Clonidine reduced 45Ca accumulation in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Maximum inhibition (40% at 100 microM) occurred at 2 min and the IC50 was 80 nM. The reduction caused by clonidine (1 microM) reached equilibrium after 5 min, but this equilibrium value was lower than in controls, suggesting that clonidine changes the exchangeable Ca2+ pool size. The effects of clonidine (1 microM) on [Ca2+]i (26% reduction) and on 45Ca accumulation (24% reduction) were most apparent under physiological conditions. However, while it was not dependent on depolarisation, it did not occur in physiological buffer containing low K+ concentration (0.1-1 mM). The inhibitory effect of clonidine on 45Ca accumulation is receptor mediated as it was antagonised by idazoxan (1 microM).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Here, the effects of the ethylene-releasing compound, ethephon, and the ethylene precursor, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), on ionic currents across plasma membranes and on the cytosolic Ca(2+) activity ([Ca(2+)](c)) of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) suspension cells were characterized using a patch-clamp technique and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Exposure of tobacco protoplasts to ethephon and ACC led to activation of a plasma membrane cation channel that was permeable to Ba(2+), Mg(2+) and Ca(2+), and inhibited by La(3+), Gd(3+) and Al(3+). The ethephon- and ACC-induced Ca(2+)-permeable channel was abolished by the antagonist of ethylene perception (1-metycyclopropene) and by the inhibitor of ACC synthase (aminovinylglycin), indicating that activation of the Ca(2+)-permeable channels results from ethylene. Ethephon elicited an increase in the [Ca(2+)](c) of tobacco suspension cells, as visualized by the Ca(2+)-sensitive probe Fluo-3 and confocal microscopy. The ethephon-induced elevation of [Ca(2+)](c) was markedly inhibited by Gd(3+) and BAPTA, suggesting that an influx of Ca(2+) underlies the elevation of [Ca(2+)](c). These results indicate that an elevation of [Ca(2+)](c), resulting from activation of the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-permeable channels by ethylene, is an essential component in ethylene signaling in plants.  相似文献

Investigating unidentified weak-acting lectins is important for understanding glycan-related phenomena. We have developed an improved screening method for weak-acting lectins using glycan-conjugated magnetic beads (or glycobeads) involving a partial washing method and named it the mild enrichment procedure. Weak-acting lectins exist in equilibrium between bound lectin and free lectin produced by dissociation, whereas most tight-binding lectin exists in a bound state. The conventional washing step, in which the solution phase is replaced, may remove dissociated lectin from around the glycobeads; therefore, we attempted to leave a buffer space around the glycobeads to maintain the association–dissociation equilibrium of weak-acting lectins. Our results revealed that our mild enrichment procedure for screening for weak interactions, such as maltose–concanavalin A (Ka ∼ 104 M−1) and lactose–peanut agglutinin (Ka ∼ 103 M−1) interactions, was more effective than conventional batch methods.  相似文献

The stimulation of cultured bovine chromaffin cells with histamine induced a continuous catecholamine secretion (EC50 = 3 x 10(-7) M) via the H1 receptor, in addition to an initial catecholamine burst due to a nonspecific stimulatory effect at higher doses (greater than or equal to 10(-4) M). The continuous secretion showed little desensitization and lasted for more than 1 h. In fura-2-loaded cells, the stimulation with histamine evoked a transient rise of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) which lasted only for a few minutes and was followed by a sustained [Ca2+]i rise which continued for more than 20 min. The addition of an activator for the L-type voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channel, i.e., Bay K 8644 (1 microM), facilitated the sustained [Ca2+]i rise, as well as the secretion, whereas the addition of relatively high concentrations of Ca(2+)-channel blockers (10 microM) suppressed the sustained [Ca2+]i rise and part of the secretion. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ completely abolished continuous secretion and sustained [Ca2+]i rise. When the external Ca2+ level was elevated, both sustained [Ca2+]i rise and continuous secretion were enhanced in a similar Ca(2+)-dependent manner, showing saturation with around 1-3 mM Ca2+. This Ca2+ dependence was clearly different from that observed with high K+ and nicotine, which is mediated by the L-type Ca2+ channel, in which the responses showed little or no saturation when the Ca2+ level was increased. The results indicate that stimulation with histamine induces a continuous secretion via the H1 receptor, in addition to a transient and nonspecific secretion at higher doses.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

The characteristics of KCl-stimulated45Ca uptake by neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid NG108-15 cells induced to differentiate with dibutyryl cAMP (Bt2cAMP) and of PC12h pheochromocytoma cells induced to differentiate with nerve growth factor (NGF) were studied. The extent and rate of KCl-stimulated45Ca uptake by differentiated NG108-15 cells induced with Bt2cAMP were significantly higher than those of the undifferentiated cells. However, differentiation of PC12h cells induced with NGF did not enhance their extent or rate of KCl-stimulated45Ca uptake. The effects of Ca agonist and antagonists indicated that the characteristics of KCl-stimulated45Ca uptake by Bt2cAMP-treated NG108-15 cells and NGF-treated PC12h cells mainly reflected those of peripheral L-type voltage-sensitive calcium channels activated by high KCl. These results suggest that differentiated neural cells did not all show an enhanced capacity for KCl-stimulated45Ca uptake, although the characteristic patterns of differentiation (extension of neurite-like processes, etc.) and that of effect by Ca agonist or antagonists on NG108-15 cells and PC12h cells were similar.  相似文献

Substance P is known to modulate acetylcholine-induced catecholamine release from adrenal chromaffin cells. To investigate the mechanisms involved in this modulation, the present study examined the effects of substance P on net 45Ca2+ fluxes in cultures of bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. Two effects of substance P were observed: (1) Substance P inhibited carbachol-induced 45Ca2+ uptake and 45Ca2+ efflux and (2) substance P protected against desensitization of carbachol-induced 45Ca2+ uptake and 45Ca2+ efflux. Thus substance P modulates two other cholinergic responses, 45Ca2+ uptake and 45Ca2+ efflux, in a manner similar to its modulation of catecholamine release. The results also indicate that substance P's inhibition of net carbachol-induced 45Ca2+ uptake is due to inhibition of 45Ca2+ uptake rather than enhancement of 45Ca2+ efflux. Substance P almost completely inhibited carbachol-induced 45Ca2+ uptake in both Na+-containing and Na+-free media, suggesting that substance P can inhibit the uptake of 45Ca2+ induced by carbachol regardless of whether 45Ca2+ is taken up through voltage-sensitive or acetylcholine receptor-linked channels. However, substance P produced only a small inhibition of K+-induced 45Ca2+ uptake, indicating that substance P does not interact directly with voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels. In addition, substance P's inhibition of carbachol-induced 45Ca2+ uptake was noncompetitive with respect to Ca2+, were unable to overcome substance P's inhibition of [3H]-norepinephrine ( [3H]NE) release. It is concluded that substance P does not interact directly with Ca2+ channels in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells.  相似文献
