Mitochondria take up calcium during cell activation thus shaping Ca(2+) signaling and exocytosis. In turn, Ca(2+) uptake by mitochondria increases respiration and ATP synthesis. Targeted aequorins are excellent Ca(2+) probes for subcellular analysis, but single-cell imaging has proven difficult. Here we combine virus-based expression of targeted aequorins with photon-counting imaging to resolve dynamics of the cytosolic, mitochondrial, and nuclear Ca(2+) signals at the single-cell level in anterior pituitary cells. These cells exhibit spontaneous electric activity and cytosolic Ca(2+) oscillations that are responsible for basal secretion of pituitary hormones and are modulated by hypophysiotrophic factors. Aequorin reported spontaneous [Ca(2+)] oscillations in all the three compartments, bulk cytosol, nucleus, and mitochondria. Interestingly, a fraction of mitochondria underwent much larger [Ca(2+)] oscillations, which were driven by local high [Ca(2+)] domains generated by the spontaneous electric activity. These oscillations were large enough to stimulate respiration, providing the basis for local tune-up of mitochondrial function by the Ca(2+) signal. 相似文献

We testedthe hypothesis that strain is the primary mechanical signal in themechanosensitive modulation of intracellular Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i) in airway smoothmuscle. We found that [Ca2+]i wassignificantly correlated with muscle length during isotonic shorteningagainst 20% isometric force (Fiso). When the isotonic loadwas changed to 50% Fiso, data points from the 20 and 50% Fiso experiments overlapped in thelength-[Ca2+]i relationship. Similarly, datapoints from the 80% Fiso experiments clustered near thosefrom the 50% Fiso experiments. Therefore, despite 2.5- and4-fold differences in external load, [Ca2+]idid not deviate much from the length-[Ca2+]irelation that fitted the 20% Fiso data. Maximal inhibition of sarcoplasmic reticular (SR) Ca2+ uptake by 10 µMcyclopiazonic acid (CPA) did not significantly change[Ca2+]i in carbachol-induced isometriccontractions and isotonic shortening. CPA also did not significantlychange myosin light-chain phosphorylation or force redevelopment whencarbachol-activated muscle strips were quickly released from optimallength (Lo) to 0.5 Lo. These results are consistent with thehypothesis and suggest that SR Ca2+ uptake is not theunderlying mechanism. 相似文献

Mitochondria have a very large capacity to accumulate Ca(2+) during cell stimulation driven by the mitochondrial membrane potential. Under these conditions, [Ca(2+)](M) (mitochondrial [Ca(2+)]) may well reach millimolar levels in a few seconds. Measuring the dynamics of [Ca(2+)](M) during prolonged stimulation has been previously precluded by the high Ca(2+) affinity of the probes available. We have now developed a mitochondrially targeted double-mutated form of the photoprotein aequorin which is able to measure [Ca(2+)] in the millimolar range for long periods of time without problems derived from aequorin consumption. We show in the present study that addition of Ca(2+) to permeabilized HeLa cells triggers an increase in [Ca(2+)](M) up to an steady state of approximately 2-3 mM in the absence of phosphate and 0.5-1 mM in the presence of phosphate, suggesting buffering or precipitation of calcium phosphate when the free [Ca(2+)] reaches 0.5-1 mM. Mitochondrial pH acidification partially re-dissolved these complexes. These millimolar [Ca(2+)](M) levels were stable for long periods of time provided the mitochondrial membrane potential was not collapsed. Silencing of the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter largely reduced the rate of [Ca(2+)](M) increase, but the final steady-state [Ca(2+)](M) reached was similar. In intact cells, the new probe allows monitoring of agonist-induced increases of [Ca(2+)](M) without problems derived from aequorin consumption. 相似文献

We proposed andtested the use of nontraditional excitation wavelengths(1 and 2) and an emission wavelength(em) to define conditions under which free calciumconcentration and a fluorescence ratio are linearly related.Fluorescence spectra were determined for aqueous solutions thatcontained 25 µM fura 2, 125 mM K+, and either 0 mM or 0.1 mM Ca2+. Effectively linear relationships between[Ca2+] and a fluorescence ratio, i.e., <5% bias when[Ca2+] 5 × dissociation constant, were apparentwhen 1 400 nm, 2 370 nm, andem 510 nm. Combinations with longer 1and em and/or with shorter 2 reduced thisbias further. Although the method described does not obviate thecomplications that surround the correction for fluorescence background,choosing a nontraditional combination of excitation and emissionwavelengths offers several practical advantages over more traditionalfura 2 fluorescence methodologies in a variety of experimental settings. 相似文献

Available methods to measure mitochondrial [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](M)) include both targeted proteins and fluorescent dyes. Targeted proteins usually report much higher [Ca(2+)](M) values than fluorescent dyes, up to two orders of magnitude. However, we show here that the low-Ca(2+)-affinity dye rhod-5N provides [Ca(2+)](M) values similar to those reported by targeted aequorin, suggesting that the discrepancies are mainly due to the higher Ca(2+)-affinity of the fluorescent dyes used. We find rhod-5N has an apparent in situ intramitochondrial Kd around 0.5mM. Addition of Ca(2+) buffers containing between 4.5 and 10μM [Ca(2+)] to permeabilized cells loaded with rhod-5N induced increases in calibrated [Ca(2+)](M) up to the 100μM-1mM range, which were dependent on mitochondrial membrane potential. Ca(2+) release from mitochondria was largely dependent on [Na(+)]. We have then used rhod-5N loaded cells to investigate the [Ca(2+)](M) response to agonist stimulation at the single-cell and subcellular level. The [Ca(2+)](M) peaks induced by histamine varied by nearly 10-fold among different cells, with a mean about 25μM. In the presence of the Ca(2+) uniporter stimulator kaempferol, the [Ca(2+)](M) peaks induced by histamine were also highly variable, and the mean [Ca(2+)](M) peak was 3-fold higher. Simultaneous measurement of cytosolic and mitochondrial [Ca(2+)] peaks showed little correlation among the heights of the peaks in both compartments. Studying the [Ca(2+)](M) peaks at the subcellular level, we found significant heterogeneities among regions in the same cell. In particular, the [Ca(2+)](M) increase in mitochondrial regions close to the nucleus was more than double that of mitochondrial regions far from the nucleus. 相似文献

Proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMC) has a role in the development of cardiovascular diseases. We investigated the alteration of contractile signals in proliferating SMC by measuring the increase in intracellular [Ca(2+)] to endothelin-1 (ET-1), noradrenaline (NA), or angiotensin II (AgII). We found that the increase in intracellular [Ca(2+)] by NA or ET-1 decreased in proliferating SMC in comparison to growth-arrested SMC. The increase in intracellular [Ca(2+)] by AgII was stable between the cells. Immunoblotting of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) which are responsible for the mobilization of Ca(2+) by those vasoactive substances revealed that expression of IP(3)R type 1 and type 2 was decreased. Expression of IP(3)R type 3 was increased. The altered Ca(2+) signaling by the cell growth might involve the expression of IP(3)R subtypes. 相似文献

Low cytoplasmic [Ca(2+)] activates I(CRAC) independently of global Ca(2+) store depletion in RBL-1 cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Release of Ca(2+) from inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate-sensitive Ca(2+) stores causes "capacitative calcium entry," which is mediated by the so-called "Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) current" (I(CRAC)) in RBL-1 cells. Refilling of the Ca(2+) stores or high cytoplasmic [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](cyt)) inactivate I(CRAC). Here we address the question if also [Ca(2+)](cyt) lower than the resting [Ca(2+)](cyt) influences store-operated channels. We therefore combined patch clamp and mag fura-2 fluorescence methods to determine simultaneously both I(CRAC) and [Ca(2+)] within Ca(2+) stores of RBL-1 cells ([Ca(2+)](store)). We found that low [Ca(2+)](cyt) in the range of 30-50 nM activates I(CRAC) and Ca(2+) influx spontaneously and independently of global Ca(2+) store depletion, while elevation of [Ca(2+)](cyt) to the resting [Ca(2+)](cyt) (100 nM) resulted in store dependence of I(CRAC) activation. We conclude that spontaneous activation of I(CRAC) by low [Ca(2+)](cyt) could serve as a feedback mechanism keeping the resting [Ca(2+)](cyt) constant. 相似文献

We recently proposed that extracellular Ca(2+) ions participate in a novel form of intercellular communication involving the extracellular Ca(2+)-sensing receptor (CaR). Here, using Ca(2+)-selective microelectrodes, we directly measured the profile of agonist-induced [Ca(2+)]ext changes in restricted domains near the basolateral or luminal membranes of polarized gastric acid-secreting cells. The Ca(2+)-mobilizing agonist carbachol elicited a transient, La(3+)-sensitive decrease in basolateral [Ca(2+)] (average approximately 250 microM, but as large as 530 microM). Conversely, carbachol evoked an HgCl2-sensitive increase in [Ca(2+)] (average approximately 400 microM, but as large as 520 microM) in the lumen of single gastric glands. Both responses were significantly reduced by pre-treatment with sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA) pump inhibitors or with the intracellular Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA-AM. Immunofluorescence experiments demonstrated an asymmetric localization of plasma membrane Ca(2+) ATPase (PMCA), which appeared to be partially co-localized with CaR and the gastric H(+)/K(+)-ATPase in the apical membrane of the acid-secreting cells. Our data indicate that agonist stimulation results in local fluctuations in [Ca(2+)]ext that would be sufficient to modulate the activity of the CaR on neighboring cells. 相似文献

N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine (LNNA) inhibits the synthesis of heat shock proteins in animals and cultured cells exposed to heat stress. Heat shock protein synthesis is known to be Ca2+-dependent. In this study, we have characterized the effect of LNNA on [Ca2+]i before and after heat stress in human colon carcinoma T84 cells. In untreated cells incubated in the presence of external Ca2+, the resting [Ca2+]i was 201+/-3 nM. If these cells were exposed to 45 degrees C for 10 min, [Ca2+]i increased by 50+/-2%. Preincubation with LNNA (100 microM) without subsequent heating led to a decrease in [Ca2+]i in a LNNA concentration-dependent manner. Preincubation with LNNA followed by heating increased [Ca2+]i to levels 88+/-5% greater than cells heated without LNNA pretreatment. Incubating cells in medium without external Ca2+ (no heating, no LNNA treatment) lowered resting [Ca2+]i to 115+/-2 nM and greatly reduced the increase in [Ca2+]i observed if cells were heated in the presence of Ca2+, indicating that external Ca2+ plays an important role in the maintenance of [Ca2+]i in T84 cells. With external Ca2+ absent, LNNA pretreatment further reduced [Ca2+]i in unheated cells, and heating failed to enhance [Ca2+]i. We determined (with external Ca2+ present) that the heat-stress induced increase in [Ca2+]i in T84 cells was blocked by dichlorobenzamil, a Na+/Ca2+ exchanger inhibitor, suggesting that the exchanger mediates Ca2+ entry. The median inhibitory concentration (IC50) in cells not treated with LNNA was 0.970+/-0.028 microM. With LNNA pretreatment, the IC50 was 5.099+/-0.107 microM. Heat stress of T84 cells did not affect the binding affinity of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger for external Ca2+, but it increased the maximal velocity of the exchanger. In unheated cells, preincubation with LNNA decreased the binding affinity of the exchanger for Ca2+, but after heat treatment, both the binding affinity and maximal velocity of the exchanger increased. Our data are consistent with the idea that LNNA affects the activity of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. We also determined there are intracellular Ca2+ pools in T84 cells sensitive to thapsigargin, monensin, and ionomycin. Treatment with TMB-8, a blocker of Ca2+ sequestration and mobilization, or ionomycin inhibited the LNNA-induced decrease in [Ca2+]i observed in the absence of external Ca2+, suggesting that LNNA promotes Ca2+ sequestration. 相似文献

Phospholemman (PLM) expression was increased in rat hearts after myocardial infarction (MI). Overexpression of PLM in normal adult rat cardiac myocytes altered contractile function and cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) homeostasis in a manner similar to that observed in post-MI myocytes. In this study, we tested whether PLM downregulation in normal adult rat myocytes resulted in contractility and [Ca(2+)](i) transient changes opposite to those observed in post-MI myocytes. Compared with control myocytes infected with adenovirus (Adv) expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) alone, myocytes infected with Adv expressing both GFP and rat antisense PLM (rASPLM) had 23% less PLM protein (P < 0.012) at 3 days, but no differences were found in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase, Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1), Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, and calsequestrin levels. SR Ca(2+) uptake and whole cell capacitance were not affected by rASPLM treatment. Relaxation from caffeine-induced contracture was faster, and NCX1 current amplitudes were higher in rASPLM myocytes, indicating that PLM downregulation enhanced NCX1 activity. In native rat cardiac myocytes, coimmunoprecipitation experiments indicated an association of PLM with NCX1. At 0.6 mM [Ca(2+)](o), rASPLM myocytes had significantly (P < 0.003) lower contraction and [Ca(2+)](i) transient amplitudes than control GFP myocytes. At 5 mM [Ca(2+)](o), both contraction and [Ca(2+)](i) transient amplitudes were higher in rASPLM myocytes. This pattern of contractile and [Ca(2+)](i) transient behavior in rASPLM myocytes was opposite to that observed in post-MI rat myocytes. We conclude that downregulation of PLM in normal rat cardiac myocytes enhanced NCX1 function and affected [Ca(2+)](i) transient and contraction amplitudes. We suggest that PLM downregulation offers a potential therapeutic strategy for ameliorating contractile abnormalities in MI myocytes. 相似文献

Ca(+) loading during reperfusion after myocardial ischemia is linked to reduced cardiac function. Like ischemic preconditioning (IPC), a volatile anesthetic given briefly before ischemia can reduce reperfusion injury. We determined whether IPC and sevoflurane preconditioning (SPC) before ischemia equivalently improve mechanical and metabolic function, reduce cytosolic Ca(2+) loading, and improve myocardial Ca(2+) responsiveness. Four groups of guinea pig isolated hearts were perfused: no ischemia, no treatment before 30-min global ischemia and 60-min reperfusion (control), IPC (two 2-min occlusions) before ischemia, and SPC (3.5 vol%, two 2-min exposures) before ischemia. Intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) was measured at the left ventricular (LV) free wall with the fluorescent probe indo 1. Ca(2+) responsiveness was assessed by changing extracellular [Ca(2+)]. In control hearts, initial reperfusion increased diastolic [Ca(2+)] and diastolic LV pressure (LVP), and the maximal and minimal derivatives of LVP (dLVP/dt(max) and dLVP/dt(min), respectively), O(2) consumption, and cardiac efficiency (CE). Throughout reperfusion, IPC and SPC similarly reduced ischemic contracture, ventricular fibrillation, and enzyme release, attenuated rises in systolic and diastolic [Ca(2+)], improved contractile and relaxation indexes, O(2) consumption, and CE, and reduced infarct size. Diastolic [Ca(2+)] at 50% dLVP/dt(min) was right shifted by 32-53 +/- 8 nM after 30-min reperfusion for all groups. Phasic [Ca(2+)] at 50% dLVP/dt(max) was not altered in control but was left shifted by -235 +/- 40 nM [Ca(2+)] after IPC and by -135 +/- 20 nM [Ca(2+)] after SPC. Both SPC and IPC similarly reduce Ca(2+) loading, while augmenting contractile responsiveness to Ca(2+), improving postischemia cardiac function and attenuating permanent damage. 相似文献

beta(1)-Subunit of BK channels regulates arterial wall[Ca(2+)] and diameter in mouse cerebral arteries. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Mice with a disrupted beta(1) (BK beta(1))-subunit of the large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channel gene develop systemic hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy, which is likely caused by uncoupling of Ca(2+) sparks to BK channels in arterial smooth muscle cells. However, little is known about the physiological levels of global intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and its regulation by Ca(2+) sparks and BK channel subunits. We utilized a BK beta(1) knockout C57BL/6 mouse model and studied the effects of inhibitors of ryanodine receptor and BK channels on the global [Ca(2+)](i) and diameter of small cerebral arteries pressurized to 60 mmHg. Ryanodine (10 microM) or iberiotoxin (100 nM) increased [Ca(2+)](i) by approximately 75 nM and constricted +/+ BK beta(1) wild-type arteries (pressurized to 60 mmHg) with myogenic tone by approximately 10 microm. In contrast, ryanodine (10 microM) or iberiotoxin (100 nM) had no significant effect on [Ca(2+)](i) and diameter of -/- BK beta(1)-pressurized (60 mmHg) arteries. These results are consistent with the idea that Ca(2+) sparks in arterial smooth muscle cells limit myogenic tone through activation of BK channels. The activation of BK channels by Ca(2+) sparks reduces the voltage-dependent Ca(2+) influx and [Ca(2+)](i) through tonic hyperpolarization. Deletion of BK beta(1) disrupts this negative feedback mechanism, leading to increased arterial tone through an increase in global [Ca(2+)](i). 相似文献

Microbe/pathogen-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs/PAMPs) often induce rises in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](cyt)) and protein phosphorylation. Though they are postulated to play pivotal roles in plant innate immunity, their molecular links and the regulatory mechanisms remain largely unknown. To investigate the regulatory mechanisms for MAMP-induced Ca(2+) mobilization, we have established a transgenic rice (Oryza sativa) cell line stably expressing apoaequorin, and characterized the interrelationship among MAMP-induced changes in [Ca(2+)](cyt), production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protein phosphorylation. Oligosaccharide and sphingolipid MAMPs induced Ca(2+) transients mainly due to plasma membrane Ca(2+) influx, which were dramatically suppressed by a protein phosphatase inhibitor, calyculin A (CA). Hydrogen peroxide and hypo-osmotic shock triggered similar [Ca(2+)](cyt) elevations, which were not affected by CA. MAMP-induced protein phosphorylation, which is promoted by CA, has been shown to be required for ROS production and MAPK activation, while it negatively regulates MAMPs-induced Ca(2+) mobilization and may play a crucial role in temporal regulation of [Ca(2+)](cyt) signature. 相似文献

Integration of rapid cytosolic Ca2+ signals by mitochondria in cat ventricular myocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Decoding of fast cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) transients by mitochondria was studied in permeabilized cat ventricular myocytes. Mitochondrial [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]m) was measured with fluo-3 trapped inside mitochondria after removal of cytosolic indicator by plasma membrane permeabilization with digitonin. Elevation of extramitochondrial [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]em) to >0.5 µM resulted in a [Ca2+]em-dependent increase in the rate of mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation ([Ca2+]em resulting in half-maximal rate of Ca2+ accumulation = 4.4 µM) via Ca2+ uniporter. Ca2+ uptake was sensitive to the Ca2+ uniporter blocker ruthenium red and the protonophore carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone and depended on inorganic phosphate concentration. The rates of [Ca2+]m increase and recovery were dependent on the extramitochondrial [Na+] ([Na+]em) due to Ca2+ extrusion via mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. The maximal rate of Ca2+ extrusion was observed with [Na+]em in the range of 2040 mM. Rapid switching (0.251 Hz) of [Ca2+]em between 0 and 100 µM simulated rapid beat-to-beat changes in [Ca2+]i (with [Ca2+]i transient duration of 100500 ms). No [Ca2+]m oscillations were observed, either under conditions of maximal rate of Ca2+ uptake (100 µM [Ca2+]em, 0 [Na+]em) or with maximal rate of Ca2+ removal (0 [Ca2+]em, 40 mM [Na+]em). The slow frequency-dependent increase of [Ca2+]m argues against a rapid transmission of Ca2+ signals between cytosol and mitochondria on a beat-to-beat basis in the heart. [Ca2+]m changes elicited by continuous or pulsatile exposure to elevated [Ca2+]em showed no difference in mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake. Thus in cardiac myocytes fast [Ca2+]i transients are integrated by mitochondrial Ca2+ transport systems, resulting in a frequency-dependent net mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation. mitochondrial Ca2+; excitation-contraction coupling; cardiomyocytes 相似文献

We describe experiments in which the low affinity indicator Oregon Green BAPTA 5N was used to record the spatially resolved changes in [Ca(2+)] from intracellular stores in rat gastric myocytes. Cells were loaded with the membrane permeant form of the indicator and imaged using a confocal scanning laser microscope. In doubly stained cells the Oregon Green signal colocalized with BIODIPY 558/568 Brefeldin A, a label for the endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and Golgi apparatus. Oregon Green BAPTA 5N was calibrated in gastric myocytes, giving an in situ K(d) of 90 microM. The resting free [Ca(2+)] within the SR averaged 65 microM. A reversible decrease in Oregon Green fluorescence was observed on bath application of Inositol triphosphate (IP(3)) (10 microM) to permeabilized cells. Similar changes were also observed when cyclopiazonic acid (5 microM) was applied to intact myocytes, again with recovery of store [Ca(2+)] following drug washout. Identical patterns of Ca(2+) depletion were seen when caffeine (1 microM) and carbachol (10 microM) were applied sequentially to the same cells, suggesting that activation of ryanodine and IP(3)-sensitive channels can result in the release of Ca(2+) from the same regions of the SR. 相似文献

Mechanism of endothelin-1-induced cytosolic Ca(2+) mobility in cultured H9c2 myocardiac ventricular cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Hong SJ 《Cellular signalling》2002,14(10):811-817
The effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on the intracellular free Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) mobility in cultured H9c2 myocardiac ventricular cells was studied after loading with fura-2-AM. In Ca(2+)-containing buffer, ET-1 induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise from 10(-7) to 10(-9) M. ET-1 induced [Ca(2+)](i), which was composed of a first small peak and a secondary persistent plateau. In Ca(2+)-free buffer, pretreatment with 10(-7) M ET-1 inhibited the thapsigargin and carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP)-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase. Meanwhile, pretreatment with thapsigargin and CCCP also inhibited ET-1-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. In Ca(2+)-containing buffer, the ET(A) receptor antagonist (BQ123) completely abolished the secondary rising peak and plateau. Conversely, the ET(B) receptor antagonist (BQ788) completely inhibited the first small peak and secondary peak plateau. Nifedipine and La(3+) also abolished the 10(-7) M ET-1-induced [Ca(2+)](i) in the first rising peak. The internal Ca(2+) release induced by ET-1 was inhibited by U73122 (phospholipase C inhibitor), propranolol (phospholipase D inhibitor) and aristolochic acid (phospholipase A2 inhibitor). After incubation of 10(-7) M ET-1 in Ca(2+)-free buffer, the addition of 5 mM CaCl(2) increased Ca(2+) influx, implying that release of Ca(2+) from internal stores further induces capacitative Ca(2+) entry. Taken together, these results suggest that both ET(A) and ET(B) receptors are involved in ET-1-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise in H9c2 myocardiac ventricular cells. Whereas ET(B) receptor seems to mediate the initial Ca(2+) influx via L-type Ca(2+) channel, ET(A) receptor appears to be involved in the subsequent Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria Ca(2+) stores. 相似文献

The Ca2+-sensitive dye quin-2 was used to measure the cytosolic free Ca2+ (Cai2+) in suspensions of ventricular myocytes isolated from cat and rat ventricles. Following an isolation procedure that was similar for both species, the cells were loaded with quin-2 AM (25 microM) for 30 min at 37 degrees C. After two washes to remove extracellular dye, the cells were resuspended for fluorescence measurements. Extracellular Ca2+ was 2.0 mM. Resting Cai2+ in the rat (121 +/- 11 nM) was found to be significantly higher than in the cat (57 +/- 4 nM). These results are discussed in terms of known differences in excitation-contraction coupling between these two species. 相似文献
