The affects of volatile anesthetics on mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ was monitored in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes using the fluorescent Ca2+ probe Fura-2. The use of Fura-2 was limited by several factors which complicated the quantitative analysis of the results, such as: (i) a high rate of dye leakage; (ii) changes in the redox state of the hepatocytes which interfered with the fluorescence produced by the dye at various excitation wavelengths; (iii) compartmentalization of the dye producing high local intracellular concentrations; and, of particular importance for this study, (iv) enhanced photobleaching of the dye in the presence of halothane. To aid in the interpretation of the Fura-2 data, the Ca2(+)-sensitive photoprotein aequorin was also used to monitor changes in [Ca2+]i. The aequorin and Fura-2 techniques qualitatively yielded the same result, that the volatile anesthetic agents halothane, enflurane, and isoflurane induce an immediate and transient increase of [Ca2+]i. The durations of these transients were approximately between 5 and 10 min and were not related to any evident acute cell toxicity. The [Ca2+]i increases induced by the volatile anesthetic agents were dose-dependent, with halothane the most potent. The exact mechanism governing these increases in [Ca2+]i induced by these anesthetics in rat hepatocytes is unknown, but is likely to involve effects on both the cell surface membrane and endoplasmic reticulum components of the signal transducing system. 相似文献

Mechanical stimulation and intercellular communication increases intracellular Ca2+ in epithelial cells. 总被引:11,自引:1,他引:11
Intercellular communication of epithelial cells was examined by measuring changes in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i). Mechanical stimulation of respiratory tract ciliated cells in culture induced a wave of increasing Ca2+ that spread, cell by cell, from the stimulated cell to neighboring cells. The communication of these Ca2+ waves between cells was restricted or blocked by halothane, an anesthetic known to uncouple cells. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, the mechanically stimulated cell showed no change or a decrease in [Ca2+]i, whereas [Ca2+]i increased in neighboring cells. Iontophoretic injection of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) evoked a communicated Ca2+ response that was similar to that produced by mechanical stimulation. These results support the hypothesis that IP3 acts as a cellular messenger that mediates communication through gap junctions between ciliated epithelial cells. 相似文献

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a pharmacogenetic disorder of skeletal muscle triggered when susceptible subjects are exposed to volatile anesthetic agents and/or depolarizing muscle relaxants. We have used Ca2+ selective microelectrodes to measure in vivo the intracellular free [Ca2+] in skeletal muscle of MH susceptible swine before and after the administration of dantrolene. We have investigated the effectiveness of this muscle relaxant in preventing clinical MH and the relationship between the resting intracellular free [Ca2+] and the probability of inducing the MH syndrome. The resting intracellular free [Ca2+] was 0.41 +/- 0.01 microM (M +/- SEM), which agrees with our previous measurements in susceptible swine. The administration of 0.5, 1, 2, 2.5 and 3 mg/Kg Dantrolene, reduced the intracellular free [Ca2+] to 0.31, 0.21, 0.09, 0.08, 0.08 microM respectively. The 0.5 mg/Kg dose induced a moderate decrease of [Ca2+]i and failed to prevent the MH syndrome after exposure to halothane (2%). The 1 mg/Kg dose produced a further reduction in [Ca2+]i and was sufficient to prevent the clinical syndrome in 2 out of 3 animals. The 2.5 mg/Kg dose was uniformly protective in all animals. These results suggest that the mechanism by which dantrolene protects susceptible animals exposed to triggering agents is by reducing the intracellular free [Ca2+] in skeletal muscle. 相似文献

Changes in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in smooth muscle cells play the key role in regulation of vascular smooth muscle tone and pathogenesis of cerebral vasospasm. In this study, we adopted the confocal laser microscopy to detect the fluorescence signals arising from the individual smooth muscle cells of canine basilar artery. Ring preparations were made, loaded with fluo-3 and changes in fluorescence induced by high K+ and endothelin-1 (ET-1) were measured by confocal laser microscopy. In some unstimulated smooth muscle cells Ca2+ waves arising from discrete region of the cell propagated to the whole cell with a velocity of approximately 10 microm/s. High K+ (80 mmol/L) induced a rapid rise in [Ca2+]i, the peak level being consistently reached approximately 10 s after stimulation. In contrast, the time to peak level of [Ca2+]i induced by ET-1 (0.3 micromol/L) varied widely between 13 and 26 s among individual cells, an indication that the extent of nonuniform coordination of increases in [Ca2+]i in individual cells may be partly responsible for the different time courses of tension development of vascular smooth muscle in response to the vasoactive stimulants. The increase in [Ca2+]i induced by ET-1 was transient but a pronounced and sustained contraction developed further in response to ET-1. Thus ET-1 has a biological property as a potential candidate to elicit cerebral vasospasm. Confocal laser microscopy could be a useful tool to measure the changes in [Ca2+]i in individual smooth muscle cells of cerebral artery. 相似文献

Changes in cytoplasmic free calcium caused by halothane. Role of the plasma membrane and intracellular Ca2+ stores 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Malignant hyperthermia is a muscle disease characterized by an abnormal response to anaesthetics, stress, and exercise. It is typified by muscle contracture and a dramatic elevation in body temperature. A defect in the regulation of the concentration of cytoplasmic free calcium, [Ca2]i, is thought to underlie this disease, but the actual [Ca2+]i was not measurable until recently. We have shown that the anaesthetic halothane increases [Ca2+]i in isolated lymphocytes from malignant hyperthermia-susceptible humans and pigs but not in the normal counterparts. In this report we extend these observations to a larger number of cases and analyze the molecular mechanisms responsible for the increase. The halothane-mediated rise in [Ca2+]i required external Ca2+ and was prevented by nifedipine, an inhibitor of the voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels of the cell membrane. In addition, the effect of halothane on the releasable Ca2+ from intracellular stores was determined by measuring the size of the releasable pool before and after addition of the anaesthetic. After addition of halothane, about 73% of this Ca2+ pool was still available for release by the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin in cells from normal humans and pigs. In contrast, only about 45% of the free Ca2+ in intracellular stores was left after treatment with halothane in cells from malignant hyperthermia-susceptible humans and swine. These results indicate that halothane acts both at the cell membrane and at intracellular organelles, and that this action results in a net increase in [Ca2+]i in malignant hyperthermia, but not in normal cells. The action at the cell membrane appears to be on the voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The intracellularly trappable fluorescent Ca2+ indicator quin-2 was used to measure free cytosolic Ca2+, [Ca2+]i, in the two highly dedifferentiated tumor cell lines, Ehrlich and Yoshida ascites carcinomas. It was found that these carcinoma cells can trap quin-2 similarly to normal cells, but [Ca2+]i was apparently significantly lower than in any normal cell tested previously with this method. By using a new lipid-soluble heavy metal chelator TPEN (N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine), which crosses artificial and natural membranes, it was found that endogenous heavy metals are responsible for partially quenching quin-2 fluorescence trapped inside the cells. Although the quenching of intracellular quin-2 fluorescence is quantitatively more relevant in these ascites carcinomas, TPEN was effective also in normal cells like lymphocytes and granulocytes. Both in the normal and especially in the malignant cell lines [Ca2+]i can be grossly underestimated at low intracellular quin-2 concentrations. Endogenous heavy metal quenching is thus a potential source of artifact when [Ca2+]i is measured with quin-2. When corrected for quin-2 fluorescence quenching by intracellular heavy metals, [Ca2+]i and basic regulatory mechanisms of [Ca2+]i homeostasis in Ehrlich and Yoshida carcinomas are similar to those of nontransformed cells. 相似文献

Effects of hypercapnia and hypocapnia on [Ca2+]i mobilization in human pulmonary artery endothelial cells. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The hydrogen ion is an important factor in the alteration of vascular tone in pulmonary circulation. Endothelial cells modulate vascular tone by producing vasoactive substances such as prostacyclin (PGI2) through a process depending on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). We studied the influence of CO2-related pH changes on [Ca2+]i and PGI2 production in human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAECs). Hypercapnic acidosis appreciably increased [Ca2+]i from 112 +/- 24 to 157 +/- 38 nmol/l. Intracellular acidification at a normal extracellular pH increased [Ca2+]i comparable to that observed during hypercapnic acidosis. The hypercapnia-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was unchanged by the removal of Ca2+ from the extracellular medium or by the depletion of thapsigargin-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ stores. Hypercapnic acidosis may thus release Ca2+ from pH-sensitive but thapsigargin-insensitive intracellular Ca2+ stores. Hypocapnic alkalosis caused a fivefold increase in [Ca2+]i compared with hypercapnic acidosis. Intracellular alkalinization at a normal extracellular pH did not affect [Ca2+]i. The hypocapnia-evoked increase in [Ca2+]i was decreased from 242 +/- 56 to 50 +/- 32 nmol/l by the removal of extracellular Ca2+. The main mechanism affecting the hypocapnia-dependent [Ca2+]i increase was thought to be the augmented influx of extracellular Ca2+ mediated by extracellular alkalosis. Hypercapnic acidosis caused little change in PGI2 production, but hypocapnic alkalosis increased it markedly. In conclusion, both hypercapnic acidosis and hypocapnic alkalosis increase [Ca2+]i in HPAECs, but the mechanisms and pathophysiological significance of these increases may differ qualitatively. 相似文献

Changes of intracellular free Mg2+ concentration ([Mg2+]i) in human amnion cells induced by superoxide anion were determined using a highly Mg(2+)-sensitive fluorescent dye Mg(2+)-fura2 or Mg(2+)-indol. Superoxide anion, produced by addition of xanthine oxidase to hypoxanthine, induced decrease of [Mg2+]i. The decrease was significantly inhibited by an anion channel blocker, 4,4'diisothiocyano-2,2' disulfonic acid stilbene (DIDS). Superoxide dismutase (SOD), injected into cells by cell fusion, also inhibited the change of [Mg2+]i, but catalase did not. Superoxide anion induced prompt increase of intracellular pH (pHi) as well as decrease of [Mg2+]i and subsequently activated the increase of intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and the release of arachidonate. In contrast to superoxide anion, NH4Cl which induces increase of pHi in amnion cells increased [Mg2+]i. The elevation of basal level of [Mg2+]i by Mg(2+)-ionophore inhibited the change of [Ca2+]i and the release of arachidonate induced by superoxide anion. These results suggest that superoxide anion, transported through anion channels into cells, decreases [Mg2+]i directly, not due to a pH-effect and that the decrease of [Mg2+]i may regulate biological functions of the cells via increase of [Ca2+]i. 相似文献

In order to analyze the complex activities of histamine H2 receptor activation on neutrophils, human HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells were differentiated into neutrophils by incubation with dimethyl sufoxide, loaded with the Ca2+-sensitive indicator dyes, indo-1 or fura-2, and the levels of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) measured in a fluorescent-activated cell sorter and fluorimeter, respectively. Histamine increased [Ca2+]i in a dose-dependent manner with a half-maximal concentration (EC50) of approximately 10(-6) to 10(-5) M, which exhibited H2 receptor specificity. Prostaglandin E2 and isoproterenol also induced [Ca2+]i mobilization in HL-60 cells, whereas the cell permeable form of cAMP and forskolin failed to increase [Ca2+]i. Since H2-receptor mediated [Ca2+]i mobilization was not inhibited by reducing the concentration of extracellular Ca2+ nor by the addition of Ca2+ channel antagonists, LaCl3 and nifedipine, [Ca2+]i mobilization is due to the release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Furthermore, both 10(-4) M histamine and 10(-6) M fMet-Leu-Phe increased the levels of 1,4,5-inositol trisphosphate. However, histamine-induced mobilization of [Ca2+]i was inhibited by cholera toxin but not by pertussis toxin, whereas the action of fMet-Leu-Phe was inhibited by pertussis toxin but not by cholera toxin. These data suggest that H2 receptors on HL-60 cells are coupled to two different cholera toxin-sensitive G-proteins and activate adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C simultaneously. 相似文献

Cytoplasmic Ca2+ during differentiation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Effect of insulin and relation to glucose transport 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The cytoplasmic concentration of ionized Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i) was determined in 3T3-L1 cells during their differentiation from fibroblasts to adipocytes, suspended and loaded with the fluorescent Ca2+ indicators quin2 or indo-1. In undifferentiated fibroblasts, as well as in differentiated adipocytes up to day 9, [Ca2+]i was steady around 170 nM, and it increased significantly only in old adipocytes (day 12). During differentiation, stimulation of glucose uptake by insulin increased from a few percent to severalfold. Stimulation of uptake was already apparent after 10 min of addition of the hormone, and 10 nM insulin produced maximal stimulation in 30 min. Insulin (10(-6) M) added to quin2- or indo-1-loaded, suspended adipocytes had no detectable effect on [Ca2+]i for at least 10 min. In contrast, addition of the general anesthetic halothane increased [Ca2+]i from 172 to 251 nM in 3 min. In EGTA solution, the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin elicited release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores that resulted in a transient increase in [Ca2+]i. A smaller but measurable Ca2+ release from intracellular stores (increasing [Ca2+]i by 20 nM) resulted upon addition of 20 micrograms/ml phosphatidic acid. In contrast, insulin did not produce any detectable release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. Incubation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with insulin in the presence of EGTA (the latter in excess over the Ca2+ concentration of the medium) did not prevent the stimulation of hexose uptake by the hormone, indicating that extracellular Ca2+ does not play a role in the insulin response. Furthermore, incubation of cells with quin2/AM in EGTA medium during exposure to insulin did not prevent stimulation of hexose uptake. Under these conditions it is demonstrated that intracellular quin2 suffices to chelate cytoplasmic Ca2+ even if releasable Ca2+ from intracellular stores were to pour into the cytoplasm. Thus, quin2 effectively lowers [Ca2+]i without impairing insulin action. It is concluded that insulin does not produce changes in [Ca2+]i and that chelating intracellular Ca2+ does not prevent stimulation of hexose uptake by insulin. These results suggest that it is unlikely that changes in [Ca2+]i may play a role in the transduction of information in insulin stimulation of glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. 相似文献

Previous digital imaging analysis of intracellular calcium ion ([Ca2+]i) dynamics in the crypt of the small intestine showed little response by most columnar cells to cholinergic and adrenergic agonists. The objective of the present study was to demonstrate whether G-protein activators and other transmitters elicit [Ca2+]i changes in crypt cells. We used digital imaging to analyze spatiotemporal dynamics of [Ca2+]i in Fura-2/AM-loaded isolated crypts of mouse duodenum and ileum. A1F4- increased [Ca2+]i in crypt columnar cells. In many cases, we observed [Ca2+]i oscillations, which were synchronized throughout the entire crypt. The oscillations were blocked by octanol. ATP, but not adenosine, caused a [Ca2+]i increase in middle crypt-regions of the duodenum and upper regions of the ileum, and the [Ca2+]i wave propagated towards the crypt bottom. The ATP-induced [Ca2+]i increase was prevented by pretreatment with thapsigargin or suramin, but not by La3+ or an extracellular Ca(2+)-free environment. Neither dopamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), histamine, vasoactive intestinal peptide, substance P. cholera toxin, nor guanylin had significant effects. The [Ca2+]i dynamics of Paneth cells were independent of the AlF4(-)-induced synchronous oscillations of columnar cells and of the ATP-induced [Ca2+]i wave. In conclusion, crypt columnar cells have [Ca2+]i-dependent intracellular signaling mechanisms that are linked with G proteins, and by which the cells communicate with each other. ATP elicited [Ca2+]i mobilization from columnar cells via P2 receptors, although some regional differences were noted between the duodenum and ileum. 相似文献

Low energy visible light (LEVL) irradiation has been shown to exert some beneficial effects on various cell cultures. For example, it increases the fertilizing capability of sperm cells, promotes cell proliferation, induces sprouting of neurons, and more. To learn about the mechanism of photobiostimulation, we studied the relationship between increased intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) and reactive oxygen species production following LEVL illumination of cardiomyocytes. We found that visible light causes the production of O2. and H2O2 and that exogenously added H2O2 (12 microm) can mimic the effect of LEVL (3.6 J/cm2) to induce a slow and transient increase in [Ca2+]i. This [Ca2+]i elevation can be reduced by verapamil, a voltage-dependent calcium channel inhibitor. The kinetics of [Ca2+]i elevation and morphologic damage following light or addition of H2O2 were found to be dose-dependent. For example, LEVL, 3.6 J/cm2, which induced a transient increase in [Ca2+]i, did not cause any cell damage, whereas visible light at 12 J/cm2 induced a linear increase in [Ca2+]i and damaged the cells. The linear increase in [Ca2+]i resulting from high energy doses of light could be attenuated into a non-linear small rise in [Ca2+]i by the presence of extracellular catalase during illumination. We suggest that the different kinetics of [Ca2+]i elevation following various light irradiation or H2O2 treatment represents correspondingly different adaptation levels to oxidative stress. The adaptive response of the cells to LEVL represented by the transient increase in [Ca2+]i can explain LEVL beneficial effects. 相似文献

Cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration, [Ca2+]i, was estimated in single rabbit blood platelets by digital imaging microscopy with the use of the specific Ca(2+)-indicator dye Fura-2. Uneven distribution and low level of [Ca2+]i was found in the resting platelet even in the presence of extracellular 1 mM Ca2+. Thrombin at 1 unit/ml immediately caused a transient increase in [Ca2+]i, which was followed by a secondary and sustained increase in [Ca2+]i. The distribution of increased levels of [Ca2+]i was also shown to be uneven within the cell. The presence of 1 mM EGTA in the medium only slightly decreased the initial rise in [Ca2+]i, but completely inhibited the latter phase, a sustained rise in [Ca2+]i. This result shows that the initial rise of [Ca2+]i might not be caused by Ca2+ influx, but might be induced by mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular Ca2+ storage sites. This speculation is further supported by the fact that the elevated [Ca2+]i induced by thrombin immediately decreased to the base line value when 3 mM EGTA was applied. Thus, thrombin induced elevation of [Ca2+]i is suggested to consist of two different processes, namely the mobilization of Ca2+ from the intracellular storage sites and the successive Ca2+ influx through the receptor activated Ca2+ channels. Stimulation with ADP also caused a rapid elevation of platelet [Ca2+]i, but this effect of ADP was different form that of thrombin. Thus, the ADP induced rise in [Ca2+]i was accompanied by oscillation and was inhibited by extracellular EGTA. Our present experiment is the first report that clearly and directly reveals the differences between the effects of thrombin and ADP on [Ca2+]i of platelets. 相似文献

In contrast to pretreatment with isoflurane its benefit when applied during reperfusion in rat hearts was only modest. As cellular injury during reoxygenation is greatly determined by sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium [Ca2+] handling we investigated the effect of isoflurane after simulated ischemia in rat ventricular myocytes. Hypoxic metabolic inhibition was induced by exposure to an acidic medium (pH: 6.3) containing deoxyglucose. Ambient pO2 was reduced to <15 mm Hg. After 30 min, cells were reoxygenated for 30 min with a glucose containing medium (pH: 7.4) in air (Air) or in the presence of isoflurane (Iso), or two SR blockers, i.e. either 3 microM ryanodine (Rya) or 10 microM of cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). During inhibition, diastolic cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) increased and systolic cell shortening decreased. [Ca2+]i further increased in all groups towards the end of reoxygenation. However, [Ca2+]i in the Iso and the Rya group climbed twice as high as in the Air and the CPA group (P < 0.05). Hypercontracture occurred in 23% and 18% in the Iso and the Rya and in 10% and 9% in the Air and the CPA group, respectively (P < 0.05). Cell relengthening and shortening was impaired in Iso, Rya, and CPA treated cells (P < 0.05 vs. Air). Isoflurane given solely during reoxygenation appears to augment cellular injury. Its action seems to be blockade of SR Ca2+ release and Ca2+ efflux. SR Ca2+ overload induces spontaneous Ca2+ oscillations that cause hypercontracture. However, [Ca2+]i does not independently govern cellular systolic and diastolic dysfunction. 相似文献

The effects of three forms of endothelin (ET), ET-1, -2 and -3, on intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and their receptor binding activities have been compared in murine fibroblast cell line Swiss 3T3 as well as diploid human fibroblast cell line FS-4. In both cell lines, ET-1 and -2 induced a profound increase in [Ca2+]i with a similar dose-response relationship; ET-3 was far less potent. ET-1 and -2 showed specific binding to both cell lines with similar dissociation constants and numbers of binding sites. Negligible specific binding of ET-3 was detected. These findings indicate that these two fibroblast populations possess high affinity receptors for ET-1 and -2 and practically no ET-3 receptors for ET-3, and binding of ET-1 and -2 increases [Ca2+]i in these cell lines. 相似文献

The caffeine-sensitive Ca2+ store in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells; an examination of its role in triggering secretion and Ca2+ homeostasis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of caffeine on catecholamine secretion and intracellular free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i) in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells was examined using single fura-2-loaded cells and cell populations. In cell populations caffeine elicited a large (approximately 200 nM) transient rise in [Ca2+]i that was independent of external Ca2+. This rise in [Ca2+]i triggered little secretion. Single cell measurements of [Ca2+]i showed that most cells responded with a large (greater than 200 nM) rise in [Ca2+]i, whereas a minority failed to respond. The latter, whose caffeine-sensitive store was empty, buffered a Ca2+ load induced by a depolarizing stimulus more effectively than those whose store was full. The caffeine-sensitive store in bovine chromaffin cells may be involved in Ca2+ homeostasis rather than in triggering exocytosis. 相似文献

Cellular responses to stimulation of the M5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor as seen in murine L cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The membrane signaling properties of the neuronal type-5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M5 AChR) as expressed in murine L cells were studied. Recipient Ltk- cells responded to ATP acting through a P2-purinergic receptor by increasing phosphoinositide hydrolysis 2-fold but were unresponsive to 17 receptor agonists that are stimulatory in other cells. L cells expressing the M5 AChR responded to carbachol (CCh) with an approximately 20-fold increase in phospholipase C activity, mobilization of Ca2+ from endogenous stores, causing a transient peak increase in the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), influx of extracellular Ca2+, causing a sustained increase in [Ca2+]i dependent on extracellular Ca2+, and release of [3H]arachidonic acid from prelabeled cells, without altering resting or prostaglandin E1-elevated intracellular cAMP levels. None of the effects of the M5 AChR were inhibited by pertussis toxin. The regulation of L cell [Ca2+]i was studied further. ATP had the same effects as CCh and the two agonists acted on a shared intracellular pool of Ca2+. The peak and sustained [Ca2+]i increases were reduced by cholera toxin and forskolin, neither of which altered significantly phosphoinositide hydrolysis. This is consistent with interference with the action of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) through cAMP-mediated phosphorylation and suggests a continued involvement of IP3 during the sustained phase of [Ca+]i increases. The temporal pattern of the sustained [Ca2+]i increase differed whether elicited by CCh or ATP, and was enhanced in pertussis toxin-treated cells. This is consistent with existence of a kinetic control of the sustained [Ca2+]i change by a receptor-G protein-dependent mechanism independent of the IP3 effector site(s) (e.g. pulsatile activation of phospholipase C and/or pulsatile activation of a receptor/G protein-operated plasma membrane Ca2+ channel). Thus, the non-excitable L cell may be a good model for studying [Ca2+]i regulations, as may occur in other nonexcitable cells of which established cell lines do not exist, and for studying of receptors that as yet cannot be studied in their natural environment. 相似文献

The effects of glucose on cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration, [Ca2+]i, and insulin release were investigated using pancreatic beta-cells isolated from obese hyperglycemic mice. Measurements of [Ca2+]i were performed in cell suspensions in a cuvette and in single cell-aggregates in a microscopic system, using fura 2 and quin 2. Insulin release was studied from indicator loaded cells in a column perifusion system. In the presence of 1.28 mM extracellular Ca2+, an increase in the glucose concentration from 0 to 20 mM had two major effects on [Ca2+]i. Initially there was a decrease, which was immediately followed by a pronounced increase. At reduced extracellular Ca2+, or when Ca2+ influx was blocked, glucose induced only a decrease in [Ca2+]i. With increasing intracellular concentrations of indicator, the effects of glucose on [Ca2+]i were markedly reduced. Changes in [Ca2+]i, similar effects being obtained in the cuvette and microfluorometric measurements, were paralleled by changes in insulin release. Insulin release from indicator loaded cells did not markedly differ from that of non-loaded controls, either with respect to rapidity or size in the response to the sugar. The addition of 20 mM glucose increased the efflux of fura 2, an effect that was not related to insulin release. Permeabilization of indicator loaded cells demonstrated a substantial amount of fura 2 bound intracellularly. Although the effects of glucose on [Ca2+]i seemed to be similar in fura 2 and quin 2 loaded cells, the demonstrated leakage and possible intracellular binding should be considered before using fura 2 for measurements in pancreatic beta-cells. 相似文献
