Intracellular Ca2+ release is a versatile second messenger system. It is modeled here by reaction-diffusion equations for the free Ca2+ and Ca2+ buffers, with spatially discrete clusters of stochastic IP3 receptor channels (IP3Rs) controlling the release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum. IP3Rs are activated by a small rise of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and inhibited by large concentrations. Buffering of cytosolic Ca2+ shapes global Ca2+ transients. Here we use a model to investigate the effect of buffers with slow and fast reaction rates on single release spikes. We find that, depending on their diffusion coefficient, fast buffers can either decouple clusters or delay inhibition. Slow buffers have little effect on Ca2+ release, but affect the time course of the signals from the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator mainly by competing for Ca2+. At low [IP3], fast buffers suppress fluorescence signals, slow buffers increase the contrast between bulk signals and signals at open clusters, and large concentrations of buffers, either fast or slow, decouple clusters.  相似文献

Calcium puffs are localized Ca2+ signals mediated by Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through clusters of inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) channels. The recruitment of IP3R channels during puffs depends on Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release, a regenerative process that must be terminated to maintain control of cell signaling and prevent Ca2+ cytotoxicity. Here, we studied puff termination using total internal reflection microscopy to resolve the gating of individual IP3R channels during puffs in intact SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. We find that the kinetics of IP3R channel closing differ from that expected for independent, stochastic gating, in that multiple channels tend to remain open together longer than predicted from their individual open lifetimes and then close in near-synchrony. This behavior cannot readily be explained by previously proposed termination mechanisms, including Ca2+-inhibition of IP3Rs and local depletion of Ca2+ in the ER lumen. Instead, we postulate that the gating of closely adjacent IP3Rs is coupled, possibly via allosteric interactions, suggesting an important mechanism to ensure robust puff termination in addition to Ca2+-inactivation.  相似文献

Many agonists bring about their effects on cellular functions through a rise incytosolic [Ca2+]([Ca2+]c) mediated by the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). Imaging studiesof single cells have demonstrated that [Ca2+]c signals display cell specific spatiotemporalorganization that is established by coordinated activation of IP3 receptor Ca2+ channels.Evidence emerges that cytosolic calcium signals elicited by activation of the IP3 receptors areefficiently transmitted to the mitochondria. An important function of mitochondrial calciumsignals is to activate the Ca2+-sensitive mitochondrial dehydrogenases, and thereby to meetdemands for increased energy in stimulated cells. Activation of the permeability transitionpore (PTP) by mitochondrial calcium signals may also be involved in the control of cell death.Furthermore, mitochondrial Ca2+ transport appears to modulate the spatiotemporal organizationof [Ca2+]c responses evoked by IP3 and so mitochondria may be important in cytosolic calciumsignaling as well. This paper summarizes recent research to elucidate the mechanisms andsignificance of IP3-dependent mitochondrial calcium signaling.  相似文献

Background information. The IP3R (inositol 1,4,5‐trisphosphate receptor) is a tetrameric channel that accounts for a large part of the intracellular Ca2+ release in virtually all cell types. We have previously demonstrated that caspase‐3‐mediated cleavage of IP3R1 during cell death generates a C‐terminal fragment of 95 kDa comprising the complete channel domain. Expression of this truncated IP3R increases the cellular sensitivity to apoptotic stimuli, and it was postulated to be a constitutively active channel. Results. In the present study, we demonstrate that expression of the caspase‐3‐cleaved C‐terminus of IP3R1 increased the rate of thapsigargin‐mediated Ca2+ leak and decreased the rate of Ca2+ uptake into the ER (endoplasmic reticulum), although it was not sufficient by itself to deplete intracellular Ca2+ stores. We detected the truncated IP3R1 in different cell types after a challenge with apoptotic stimuli, as well as in aged mouse oocytes. Injection of mRNA corresponding to the truncated IP3R1 blocked sperm factor‐induced Ca2+ oscillations and induced an apoptotic phenotype. Conclusions. In the present study, we show that caspase‐3‐mediated truncation of IP3R1 enhanced the Ca2+ leak from the ER. We suggest a model in which, in normal conditions, the increased Ca2+ leak is largely compensated by enhanced Ca2+‐uptake activity, whereas in situations where the cellular metabolism is compromised, as occurring in aging oocytes, the Ca2+ leak acts as a feed‐forward mechanism to divert the cell into apoptosis.  相似文献

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a mitochondrial-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) that regulates vascular signalling transduction, vasocontraction and vasodilation. Although the physiological role of ROS in endothelial cells is acknowledged, the mechanisms underlying H2O2 regulation of signalling in native, fully-differentiated endothelial cells is unresolved. In the present study, the effects of H2O2 on Ca2+ signalling were investigated in the endothelium of intact rat mesenteric arteries. Spontaneous local Ca2+ signals and acetylcholine evoked Ca2+ increases were inhibited by H2O2. H2O2 inhibition of acetylcholine-evoked Ca2+ signals was reversed by catalase. H2O2 exerts its inhibition on the IP3 receptor as Ca2+ release evoked by photolysis of caged IP3 was supressed by H2O2. H2O2 suppression of IP3-evoked Ca2+ signalling may be mediated by mitochondria. H2O2 depolarized mitochondria membrane potential. Acetylcholine-evoked Ca2+ release was inhibited by depolarisation of the mitochondrial membrane potential by the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) or complex 1 inhibitor, rotenone. We propose that the suppression of IP3-evoked Ca2+ release by H2O2 arises from the decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential. These results suggest that mitochondria may protect themselves against Ca2+ overload during IP3-linked Ca2+ signals by a H2O2 mediated negative feedback depolarization of the organelle and inhibition of IP3-evoked Ca2+ release.  相似文献

Background

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) are expressed in almost all animal cells. Three mammalian genes encode closely related IP3R subunits, which assemble into homo- or hetero-tetramers to form intracellular Ca2 + channels.

Scope of the review

In this brief review, we first consider a variety of complementary methods that allow the links between IP3 binding and channel gating to be defined. How does IP3 binding to the IP3-binding core in each IP3R subunit cause opening of a cation-selective pore formed by residues towards the C-terminal? We then describe methods that allow IP3, Ca2 + signals and IP3R mobility to be examined in intact cells. A final section briefly considers genetic analyses of IP3R signalling.

Major conclusions

All IP3R are regulated by both IP3 and Ca2 +. This allows them to initiate and regeneratively propagate intracellular Ca2 + signals. The elementary Ca2 + release events evoked by IP3 in intact cells are mediated by very small numbers of active IP3R and the Ca2 +-mediated interactions between them. The spatial organization of these Ca2 + signals and their stochastic dependence on so few IP3Rs highlight the need for methods that allow the spatial organization of IP3R signalling to be addressed with single-molecule resolution.

General significance

A variety of complementary methods provide insight into the structural basis of IP3R activation and the contributions of IP3-evoked Ca2 + signals to cellular physiology. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Biochemical, biophysical and genetic approaches to intracellular calcium signaling.  相似文献

Smooth muscle responds to IP3‐generating agonists by producing Ca2+ waves. Here, the mechanism of wave progression has been investigated in voltage‐clamped single smooth muscle cells using localized photolysis of caged IP3 and the caged Ca2+ buffer diazo‐2. Waves, evoked by the IP3‐generating agonist carbachol (CCh), initiated as a uniform rise in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c) over a single though substantial length (~30 µm) of the cell. During regenerative propagation, the wave‐front was about 1/3 the length (~9 µm) of the initiation site. The wave‐front progressed at a relatively constant velocity although amplitude varied through the cell; differences in sensitivity to IP3 may explain the amplitude changes. Ca2+ was required for IP3‐mediated wave progression to occur. Increasing the Ca2+ buffer capacity in a small (2 µm) region immediately in front of a CCh‐evoked Ca2+ wave halted progression at the site. However, the wave front does not progress by Ca2+‐dependent positive feedback alone. In support, colliding [Ca2+]c increases from locally released IP3 did not annihilate but approximately doubled in amplitude. This result suggests that local IP3‐evoked [Ca2+]c increases diffused passively. Failure of local increases in IP3 to evoke waves appears to arise from the restricted nature of the IP3 increase. When IP3 was elevated throughout the cell, a localized increase in Ca2+ now propagated as a wave. Together, these results suggest that waves initiate over a surprisingly large length of the cell and that both IP3 and Ca2+ are required for active propagation of the wave front to occur. J. Cell.

The subcellular localization of membrane Ca2+ channels is crucial for their functioning, but is difficult to study because channels may be distributed more closely than the resolution of conventional microscopy is able to detect. We describe a technique, stochastic channel Ca2+ nanoscale resolution (SCCaNR), employing Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dyes to localize stochastic openings and closings of single Ca2+-permeable channels within <50 nm, and apply it to examine the clustered arrangement of inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) channels underlying local Ca2+ puffs. Fluorescence signals (blips) arising from single functional IP3Rs are almost immotile (diffusion coefficient <0.003 μm2 s−1), as are puff sites over prolonged periods, suggesting that the architecture of this signaling system is stable and not subject to rapid, dynamic rearrangement. However, rapid stepwise changes in centroid position of fluorescence are evident within the durations of individual puffs. These apparent movements likely result from asynchronous gating of IP3Rs distributed within clusters that have an overall diameter of ∼400 nm, indicating that the nanoscale architecture of IP3R clusters is important in shaping local Ca2+ signals. We anticipate that SCCaNR will complement superresolution techniques such as PALM and STORM for studies of Ca2+ channels as it obviates the need for photoswitchable labels and provides functional as well as spatial information.  相似文献

In this study, we numerically analyzed the nonlinear Ca2+-dependent gating dynamics of a single, nonconducting inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) channel, using an exact and fully stochastic simulation algorithm that includes channel gating, Ca2+ buffering, and Ca2+ diffusion. The IP3R is a ubiquitous intracellular Ca2+ release channel that plays an important role in the formation of complex spatiotemporal Ca2+ signals such as waves and oscillations. Dynamic subfemtoliter Ca2+ microdomains reveal low copy numbers of Ca2+ ions, buffer molecules, and IP3Rs, and stochastic fluctuations arising from molecular interactions and diffusion do not average out. In contrast to models treating calcium dynamics deterministically, the stochastic approach accounts for this molecular noise. We varied Ca2+ diffusion coefficients and buffer reaction rates to tune the autocorrelation properties of Ca2+ noise and found a distinct relation between the autocorrelation time τac, the mean channel open and close times, and the resulting IP3R open probability PO. We observed an increased PO for shorter noise autocorrelation times, caused by increasing channel open times and decreasing close times. In a pure diffusion model the effects become apparent at elevated calcium concentrations, e.g., at [Ca2+] = 25 μM, τac = 0.082 ms, the IP3R open probability increased by ≈20% and mean open times increased by ≈4 ms, compared to a zero noise model. We identified the inactivating Ca2+ binding site of IP3R subunits as the primarily noise-susceptible element of the De Young and Keizer model. Short Ca2+ noise autocorrelation times decrease the probability of Ca2+ association and consequently increase IP3R activity. These results suggest a functional role of local calcium noise properties on calcium-regulated target molecules such as the ubiquitous IP3R. This finding may stimulate novel experimental approaches analyzing the role of calcium noise properties on microdomain behavior.  相似文献

Ca2+ is a highly versatile second messenger that plays a key role in the regulation of numerous cell processes. One‐way cells ensure the specificity and reliability of Ca2+ signals is by organizing them spatially in the form of waves that propagate throughout the cell or within a specific subcellular region. In non‐excitable cells, the inositol 1,4,5‐trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is responsible for the release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum. The spatial aspect of the Ca2+ signal depends on the organization of various elements of the Ca2+ signaling toolkit and varies from tissue to tissue. Ca2+ is implicated in many of endothelium functions that thus depend on the versatility of Ca2+ signaling. In the present study, we showed that the disruption of caveolae microdomains in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) with methyl‐ß‐cyclodextrin was not sufficient to disorganize the propagation of Ca2+ waves when the cells were stimulated with ATP or bradykinin. However, disorganizing microfilaments with latrunculin B and microtubules with colchicine both prevented the formation of Ca2+ waves. These results suggest that the organization of the Ca2+ waves mediated by IP3R channels does not depend on the integrity of caveolae in BAEC, but that microtubule and microfilament cytoskeleton assembly is crucial.

Numerous cellular processes are regulated by Ca2+ signals, and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane's inositol triphosphate receptor (IP3R) is critical for modulating intracellular Ca2+ dynamics. The IP3Rs are seen to be clustered in a variety of cell types. The combination of IP3Rs clustering and IP3Rs-mediated Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release results in the hierarchical organization of the Ca2+ signals, which challenges the numerical simulation given the multiple spatial and temporal scales that must be covered. The previous methods rather ignore the spatial feature of IP3Rs or fail to coordinate the conflicts between the real biological relevance and the computational cost. In this work, a general and efficient reduced-lattice model is presented for the simulation of IP3Rs-mediated multiscale Ca2+ dynamics. The model highlights biological details that make up the majority of the calcium events, including IP3Rs clustering and calcium domains, and it reduces the complexity by approximating the minor details. The model's extensibility provides fresh insights into the function of IP3Rs in producing global Ca2+ events and supports the research under more physiological circumstances. Our work contributes to a novel toolkit for modeling multiscale Ca2+ dynamics and advances knowledge of Ca2+ signals.  相似文献

Purinergic signaling mediated by P2 receptors (P2Rs) plays important roles in embryonic and stem cell development. However, how it mediates Ca2+ signals in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and derived cardiovascular progenitor cells (CVPCs) remains unclear. Here, we aimed to determine the role of P2Rs in mediating Ca2+ mobilizations of these cells. hESCs were induced to differentiate into CVPCs by our recently established methods. Gene expression of P2Rs and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) was analyzed by quantitative/RT-PCR. IP3R3 knockdown (KD) or IP3R2 knockout (KO) hESCs were established by shRNA- or TALEN-mediated gene manipulations, respectively. Confocal imaging revealed that Ca2+ responses in CVPCs to ATP and UTP were more sensitive and stronger than those in hESCs. Consistently, the gene expression levels of most P2YRs except P2Y1 were increased in CVPCs. Suramin or PPADS blocked ATP-induced Ca2+ transients in hESCs but only partially inhibited those in CVPCs. Moreover, the P2Y1 receptor-specific antagonist MRS2279 abolished most ATP-induced Ca2+ signals in hESCs but not in CVPCs. P2Y1 receptor-specific agonist MRS2365 induced Ca2+ transients only in hESCs but not in CVPCs. Furthermore, IP3R2KO but not IP3R3KD decreased the proportion of hESCs responding to MRS2365. In contrast, both IP3R2 and IP3R3 contributed to UTP-induced Ca2+ responses while ATP-induced Ca2+ responses were more dependent on IP3R2 in the CVPCs. In conclusion, a predominant role of P2Y1 receptors in hESCs and a transition of P2Y-IP3R coupling in derived CVPCs are responsible for the differential Ca2+ mobilization between these cells.  相似文献

The Bcl-2 protein, best known for its ability to inhibit apoptosis, interacts with the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) Ca2+ channel to regulate IP3-mediated Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding the interaction of Bcl-2, and also its homologue Bcl-xl, with the IP3R and how these interactions regulate Ca2+ signaling. The dual role of these interactions in promoting prosurvival Ca2+ signals, while at the same time inhibiting proapoptotic Ca2+ signals, is discussed. Moreover, this review will elucidate the recently recognized importance of the Bcl-2-IP3R interaction in human disease.  相似文献

The initiation of normal embryo development depends on the completion of all events of egg activation. In all species to date, egg activation requires an increase(s) in the intracellular concentration of calcium ([Ca2+]i), which is almost entirely mediated by inositol 1,4,5‐trisphosphate receptor 1 (IP3R1). In mammalian eggs, fertilization‐induced [Ca2+]i responses exhibit a periodic pattern that are called [Ca2+]i oscillations. These [Ca2+]i oscillations are robust at the beginning of fertilization, which occurs at the second metaphase of meiosis, but wane as zygotes approach the pronuclear stage, time after which in the mouse oscillations cease altogether. Underlying this change in frequency are cellular and biochemical changes associated with egg activation, including degradation of IP3R1, progression through the cell cycle, and reorganization of intracellular organelles. In this study, we investigated the system requirements for IP3R1 degradation and examined the impact of the IP3R1 levels on the pattern of [Ca2+]i oscillations. Using microinjection of IP3 and of its analogs and conditions that prevent the development of [Ca2+]i oscillations, we show that IP3R1 degradation requires uniform and persistently elevated levels of IP3. We also established that progressive degradation of the IP3R1 results in [Ca2+]i oscillations with diminished periodicity while a near complete depletion of IP3R1s precludes the initiation of [Ca2+]i oscillations. These results provide insights into the mechanism involved in the generation of [Ca2+]i oscillations in mouse eggs. J. Cell. Physiol. 222:238–247, 2010. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.  相似文献

Familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD)-causing mutant presenilins (PS) interact with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) Ca2+ release channels resulting in enhanced IP3R channel gating in an amyloid beta (Aβ) production-independent manner. This gain-of-function enhancement of IP3R activity is considered to be the main reason behind the upregulation of intracellular Ca2+ signaling in the presence of optimal and suboptimal stimuli and spontaneous Ca2+ signals observed in cells expressing mutant PS. In this paper, we employed computational modeling of single IP3R channel activity records obtained under optimal Ca2+ and multiple IP3 concentrations to gain deeper insights into the enhancement of IP3R function. We found that in addition to the high occupancy of the high-activity (H) mode and the low occupancy of the low-activity (L) mode, IP3R in FAD-causing mutant PS-expressing cells exhibits significantly longer mean life-time for the H mode and shorter life-time for the L mode, leading to shorter mean close-time and hence high open probability of the channel in comparison to IP3R in cells expressing wild-type PS. The model is then used to extrapolate the behavior of the channel to a wide range of IP3 and Ca2+ concentrations and quantify the sensitivity of IP3R to its two ligands. We show that the gain-of-function enhancement is sensitive to both IP3 and Ca2+ and that very small amount of IP3 is required to stimulate IP3R channels in the presence of FAD-causing mutant PS to the same level of activity as channels in control cells stimulated by significantly higher IP3 concentrations. We further demonstrate with simulations that the relatively longer time spent by IP3R in the H mode leads to the observed higher frequency of local Ca2+ signals, which can account for the more frequent global Ca2+ signals observed, while the enhanced activity of the channel at extremely low ligand concentrations will lead to spontaneous Ca2+ signals in cells expressing FAD-causing mutant PS.  相似文献

The ability of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R) to precisely initiate and generate a diverse variety of intracellular Ca2+ signals is in part mediated by the differential regulation of the three subtypes (R1, R2, and R3) by key functional modulators (IP3, Ca2+, and ATP). However, the contribution of IP3R heterotetramerization to Ca2+ signal diversity has largely been unexplored. In this report, we provide the first definitive biochemical evidence of endogenous heterotetramer formation. Additionally, we examine the contribution of individual subtypes within defined concatenated heterotetramers to the shaping of Ca2+ signals. Under conditions where key regulators of IP3R function are optimal for Ca2+ release, we demonstrate that individual monomers within heteromeric IP3Rs contributed equally toward generating a distinct ''blended'' sensitivity to IP3 that is likely dictated by the unique IP3 binding affinity of the heteromers. However, under suboptimal conditions where [ATP] were varied, we found that one subtype dictated the ATP regulatory properties of heteromers. We show that R2 monomers within a heterotetramer were both necessary and sufficient to dictate the ATP regulatory properties. Finally, the ATP-binding site B in R2 critical for ATP regulation was mutated and rendered non-functional to address questions relating to the stoichiometry of IP3R regulation. Two intact R2 monomers were sufficient to maintain ATP regulation in R2 homotetramers. In summary, we demonstrate that heterotetrameric IP3R do not necessarily behave as the sum of the constituent subunits, and these properties likely extend the versatility of IP3-induced Ca2+ signaling in cells expressing multiple IP3R isoforms.  相似文献

Calcium (Ca2+) is a second messenger assumed to control changes in synaptic strength in the form of both long-term depression and long-term potentiation at Purkinje cell dendritic spine synapses via inositol trisphosphate (IP3)-induced Ca2+ release. These Ca2+ transients happen in response to stimuli from parallel fibers (PFs) from granule cells and climbing fibers (CFs) from the inferior olivary nucleus. These events occur at low numbers of free Ca2+, requiring stochastic single-particle methods when modeling them. We use the stochastic particle simulation program MCell to simulate Ca2+ transients within a three-dimensional Purkinje cell dendritic spine. The model spine includes the endoplasmic reticulum, several Ca2+ transporters, and endogenous buffer molecules. Our simulations successfully reproduce properties of Ca2+ transients in different dynamical situations. We test two different models of the IP3 receptor (IP3R). The model with nonlinear concentration response of binding of activating Ca2+ reproduces experimental results better than the model with linear response because of the filtering of noise. Our results also suggest that Ca2+-dependent inhibition of the IP3R needs to be slow to reproduce experimental results. Simulations suggest the experimentally observed optimal timing window of CF stimuli arises from the relative timing of CF influx of Ca2+ and IP3 production sensitizing IP3R for Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release. We also model ataxia, a loss of fine motor control assumed to be the result of malfunctioning information transmission at the granule to Purkinje cell synapse, resulting in a decrease or loss of Ca2+ transients. Finally, we propose possible ways of recovering Ca2+ transients under ataxia.  相似文献

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is an important second messenger produced via G-protein-coupled receptor- or receptor tyrosine kinase-mediated pathways. IP3 levels induce Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via IP3 receptor (IP3R) located in the ER membrane. The resultant spatiotemporal pattern of Ca2+ signals regulates diverse cellular functions, including fertilization, gene expression, synaptic plasticity, and cell death. Therefore, monitoring and manipulating IP3 levels is important to elucidate not only the functions of IP3-mediated pathways but also the encoding mechanism of IP3R as a converter of intracellular signals from IP3 to Ca2+.  相似文献

There is substantial evidence that crosstalk between the proliferation and Ca2+-signaling pathways plays a critical role in the regulation of normal physiological functions as well as in the pathogenesis of a variety of abnormal processes. In non-excitable cells, intracellular Ca2+ is mobilized through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate sensitive Ca2+ channels (IP3R) expressed on the endoplasmic reticulum. Here we report that mTOR, a point of convergence for signals from mitogenic growth factors, nutrients and cellular energy levels, phosphorylates the IP3R-2, the predominant isoform of IP3R in AR4-2J cells. Pretreatment with the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin, decreased carbachol-induced Ca2+ release in AR4-2J cells. Rapamycin also decreased IP3-induced Ca2+ release in permeabilized AR4-2J cells. We also showed that IGF-1 potentiates carbachol-induced Ca2+ release in AR4-2J cells, an effect that was prevented by rapamycin. Rapamycin also decreased carbachol-induced Ca2+ release in HEK 293A cells in which IP3R-1 and IP3R-3 had been knocked down. These results suggest that mTOR potentiates the activity of IP3R-2 by a phosphorylation mechanism. This conclusion supports the concept of crosstalk between Ca2+ signaling and proliferation pathways and thus provides another way by which intracellular Ca2+ signals are finely encoded.  相似文献
