Summary Discrepancies about the role of L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) in acetylcholine (ACh)-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations in tracheal smooth muscle cells (TSMCs) have been seen in recent reports. We demonstrate here that ACh-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations in TMCS were reversibly inhibited by three VGCC blockers, nicardipine, nifedipine and verapamil. Prolonged (several minutes) application of VGCC blockers, led to tachyphylaxis; that is, [Ca2+]i oscillations resumed, but at a lower frequency. Brief (15–30 s) removal of VGCC blockers re-sensitized [Ca2+]i oscillations to inhibition by the agents. Calcium oscillations tolerant to VGCC blockers were abolished by KB-R7943, an inhibitor of the reverse mode of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX). KB-R7943 alone also abolished ACh-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations. Enhancement of the reverse mode of NCX via removing extracellular Na+ reversed inhibition of ACh-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations by VGCC blockers. Inhibition of non-selective cation channels using Gd3+ slightly reduced the frequency of ACh-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations, but did not prevent the occurrence of tachyphylaxis. Altogether, these results suggest that VGCC and the reverse mode of NCX are two primary Ca2+ entry pathways for maintaining ACh-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations in TSMCs. The two pathways complement each other, and may account for tachyphylaxis of ACh-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations to VGCC blockers.  相似文献

Background  

Although various endothelium-dependent relaxing factors (endothelial autacoids) are released upon the elevation of endothelial cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration (EC [Ca2+]i), the quantitative relationship between EC [Ca2+]i and vascular tone remains to be established. Moreover, whether the basal release of endothelial autacoids is modulated by basal EC [Ca2+]i is still unclear. We assessed these issues by using a novel method that allows simultaneous recording of EC [Ca2+]i and vascular displacement in dissected rat aortic segments.  相似文献

Cardiac hypertrophy plays a major role in heart failure and is related to patient morbidity and mortality. Calcium overloading is a main risk for cardiac hypertrophy, and Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) has been found that it could not only regulate intracellular Na+ levels but also control the intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) level through Na+/Ca2+-exchanger (NCX). Recent studies have reported that klotho could affect [Ca2+]i level. In this study, we aimed at exploring the role of klotho in improving isoproterenol-induced hypertrophic response of H9C2 cells. The H9C2 cells were randomly divided into control and isoproterenol (ISO) (10 μM) groups. Klotho protein (10 μg/ml) or NKAα2 siRNA was used to determine the changes in isoproterenol-induced hypertrophic response. The alterations of [Ca2+]i level were measured by spectrofluorometry. Our results showed that H9C2 cells which were treated with isoproterenol presented a higher level of [Ca2+]i and hypertrophic gene expression at 24 and 48 h compared with the control group. Moreover, the expressions of NKAα1 and NKAα2 were both increased in control and ISO groups after treating with klotho protein; meanwhile, the NKA activity was increased and NCX activity was decreased after treatment. Consistently, the [Ca2+]i level and hypertrophic gene expression were decreased in ISO group after klotho protein treatment. However, these effects were both prevented by transfecting with NKAα2 siRNA. In conclusion, these findings demonstrated that klotho inhibits isoproterenol-induced hypertrophic response in H9C2 cells by activating NKA and inhibiting the reverse mode of NCX and this effect may be associated with the upregulation of NKAα2 expression.  相似文献

Preload-induced changes of active tension and [Ca2+]i are “dissociated” in mammalian myocardium. This study aimed to describe the distinct effects of preload at low and physiological [Ca2+]o. Rat RV papillary muscles were studied in isometric conditions at 25‡C and 0.33 Hz at 1 mM (hypo-Ca group) and 2.5 mM [Ca2+]o (normal-Ca group). [Ca2+]i was monitored with fura-2/AM. Increase of preload caused a rise of active tension in hypo-Ca and normal-Ca groups whereas peak fluorescence rose significantly only at low [Ca2+]o. End-diastolic tension, end-diastolic level of fluorescence, time-to-peak tension, but not time-to-peak of Ca2+ transient, progressively increased with preload. Mechanical relaxation decelerated with preload while Ca2+ transient decay time decreased in the initial phase and increased in the late phase, resulting in a prominent “bump” configuration. The “bump” was assessed as a ratio of its area to the fluorescence trace area. It was a new finding that the preload-induced rise of this ratio was twice as large in hypo-Ca. Our results indicate that preload-induced changes in active tension and [Ca2+]i are “dissociated” in rat myocardium, with relatively higher expression at low [Ca2+]o. Ca-dependence of Ca-TnC association/dissociation kinetics is thought to be a main contributor to these preload-induced effects.  相似文献

Subtypes of purinergic receptors involved in modulation of cytoplasmic calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) and insulin release in mouse pancreatic β-cells were examined in two systems, pancreatic islets in primary culture and beta-TC6 insulinoma cells. Both systems exhibited some physiological responses such as acetylcholine-stimulated [Ca2+]i rise via cytoplasmic Ca2+ mobilization. Addition of ATP, ADP, and 2-MeSADP (each 100 μM) transiently increased [Ca2+]i in single islets cultured in the presence of 5.5 mM (normal) glucose. The potent P2Y1 receptor agonist 2-MeSADP reduced insulin secretion significantly in islets cultured in the presence of high glucose (16.7 mM), whereas a slight stimulation occurred at 5.5 mM glucose. The selective P2Y6 receptor agonist UDP (200 μM) transiently increased [Ca2+]i and reduced insulin secretion at high glucose, whereas the P2Y2/4 receptor agonist UTP and adenosine receptor agonist NECA were inactive. [Ca2+]i transients induced by 2-MeSADP and UDP were antagonized by suramin (100 μM), U73122 (2 μM, PLC inhibitor), and 2-APB (10 or 30 μM, IP3 receptor antagonist), but neither by staurosporine (1 μM, PKC inhibitor) nor depletion of extracellular Ca2+. The effect of 2-MeSADP on [Ca2+]i was also significantly inhibited by MRS2500, a P2Y1 receptor antagonist. These results suggested that P2Y1 and P2Y6 receptor subtypes are involved in Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores and insulin release in mouse islets. In beta-TC6 cells, ATP, ADP, 2-MeSADP, and UDP transiently elevated [Ca2+]i and slightly decreased insulin secretion at normal glucose, while UTP and NECA were inactive. RT-PCR analysis detected mRNAs of P2Y1 and P2Y6, but not P2Y2 and P2Y4 receptors.  相似文献

Methionine and cysteine residues in proteins are the major targets of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The present work was designed to characterize the impact of methionine and cysteine oxidation upon [Ca2+]i in hippocampal neurons. We investigated the effects of H2O2 and chloramine T(Ch-T) agents known to oxidize both cysteine and methionine residues, and 5, 5′-dithio-bis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB)—a cysteine-specific oxidant, on the intracellular calcium in hippocampal neurons. The results showed that these three oxidants, 1 mM H2O2, 1 mM Ch-T, and 500 μM DTNB, induced an sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i by 76.1 ± 3.9%, 86.5 ± 5.0%, and 24.4 ± 3.2% over the basal level, respectively. The elevation induced by H2O2 and Ch-T was significantly higher than DTNB. Pretreatment with reductant DTT at 1 mM for 10 min completely prevented the action of DTNB on [Ca2+]i, but only partially reduced the effects of H2O2 and Ch-T on [Ca2+]i, the reductions were 44.6 ± 4.2% and 29.6 ± 6.1% over baseline, respectively. The elevation of [Ca2+]i induced by H2O2 and Ch-T after pretreatment with DTT were statistically higher than that induced by single administration of DTNB. Further investigation showed that the elevation of [Ca2+]i mainly resulted from internal calcium stores. From our data, we propose that methionine oxidation plays an important role in the regulation of intracellular calcium and this regulation may mainly be due to internal calcium stores.  相似文献

Exposing bovine chromaffin cells to a single 5 ns, high-voltage (5 MV/m) electric pulse stimulates Ca2+ entry into the cells via L-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCC), resulting in the release of catecholamine. In this study, fluorescence imaging was used to monitor nanosecond pulse-induced effects on intracellular Ca2+ level ([Ca2+]i) to investigate the contribution of other types of VGCCs expressed in these cells in mediating Ca2+ entry. ω-Conotoxin GVIA and ω-agatoxin IVA, antagonists of N-type and P/Q-type VGCCs, respectively, reduced the magnitude of the rise in [Ca2+]i elicited by a 5 ns pulse. ω-conotoxin MVIIC, which blocks N- and P/Q-type VGCCs, had a similar effect. Blocking L-, N-, and P\Q-type channels simultaneously with a cocktail of VGCC inhibitors abolished the pulse-induced [Ca2+]i response of the cells, suggesting Ca2+ influx occurs only via VGCCs. Lowering extracellular K+ concentration from 5 to 2 mM or pulsing cells in Na+-free medium suppressed the pulse-induced rise in [Ca2+]i in the majority of cells. Thus, both membrane potential and Na+ entry appear to play a role in the mechanism by which nanoelectropulses evoke Ca2+ influx. However, activation of voltage-gated Na+ channels (VGSC) is not involved since tetrodotoxin (TTX) failed to block the pulse-induced rise in [Ca2+]i. These findings demonstrate that a single electric pulse of only 5 ns duration serves as a novel stimulus to open multiple types of VGCCs in chromaffin cells in a manner involving Na+ transport across the plasma membrane. Whether Na+ transport occurs via non-selective cation channels and/or through lipid nanopores remains to be determined.  相似文献

Background  

Stimulation of Dictyostelium discoideum with cAMP evokes an elevation of the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). The [Ca2+]i-change is composed of liberation of stored Ca2+ and extracellular Ca2+-entry. The significance of the [Ca2+]i-transient for chemotaxis is under debate. Abolition of chemotactic orientation and migration by Ca2+-buffers in the cytosol indicates that a [Ca2+]i-increase is required for chemotaxis. Yet, the iplA - mutant disrupted in a gene bearing similarity to IP3-receptors of higher eukaryotes aggregates despite the absence of a cAMP-induced [Ca2+]i-transient which favours the view that [Ca2+]i-changes are insignificant for chemotaxis.  相似文献

The thermogenic capability of brown adipose tissue is controlled by noradrenaline. By interacting with α1- and β-adrenoreceptors of adipocytes, noradrenaline (NA) increases the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and cAMP. The changes in [Ca2+]i under the action of NA and selective agonists of α1- and β-adrenoreceptors, i.e., cirazoline and isoproterenol (IP), are recorded on individual cells of the primary culture of adipocytes during the day in vitro (DIV) 1, DIV 3, and DIV 6. The change in [Ca2+]i under the effect of IP as compared to the response to cirazoline in cells of DIV 1 is characterized by a higher amplitude and shorter duration of impulses in the entire diapason of the used physiological concentrations. After DIV 3, these differences are insignificant and, after DIV 6, the differences in kinetics are nearly absent. For all three agonists, the kinetics of the [Ca2+]i change in the proliferating and differentiated cells is significantly different; i.e., the response amplitude increases with the age of the culture and the duration of transitory response decreases, while sensitivity to agonists of adrenoreceptors increases. It can be seen from the rise in [Ca2+]i with an inhibitor of Ca2+-ATPase of the endoplasmic reticulum thapsigargin in calcium-free medium that the source of calcium ions in the endoplasmic reticulum rises with the growth and development of cells in culture, while the rate at which Ca2+ is pumped out of cells, which characterizes the activity of Ca2+-ATPase of the plasma membrane, increases.  相似文献

Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) plays a pivotal role in neuronal ischemia. The aim of the present study was to investigate the routes of Ca2+ entry during non-excitotoxic oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) in acutely dissociated rat CA1 neurons. During OGD the fluo-3/fura red ratio reflecting [Ca2+]i increased rapidly and irreversibly. [Ca2+]i increased to the same degree in Ca2+ depleted medium, and also when both the ryanodine receptors (RyR) and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors were blocked. When the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ stores were emptied with thapsigargin no increase in [Ca2+]i was observed independent of extracellular Ca2+. The OGD induced Ca2+ deregulation in isolated CA1 neurons is not prevented by removing Ca2+, or by blocking the IP3– or RyR receptors. However, when SERCA was blocked, no increase in [Ca2+]i was observed suggesting that SERCA dysfunction represents an important mechanism for ischemic Ca2+ overload.  相似文献

Synaptically activated postsynaptic [Ca2+]i increases occur through three main pathways: Ca2+ entry through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, Ca2+ entry through ligand-gated channels, and Ca2+ release from internal stores. The first two pathways have been studied intensively; release from stores has been the subject of more recent investigations.Ca2+ release from stores in CNS neurons primarily occurs as a result of IP3 mobilized by activation of metabotropic glutamatergic and/or cholingergic receptors coupled to PLC. Ca2+ release is localized near spines in Purkinje cells and occurs as a wave in the primary apical dendrites of pyramidal cells in the hippocampus and cortex. The amplitude of the [Ca2+]i increase can reach several micromolar, significantly larger than the increase due to backpropagating spikes.The large amplitude, long duration, and unique location of the [Ca2+]i increases due to Ca2+ release from stores suggests that these increases can affect specific downstream signaling mechanisms in neurons.  相似文献

The effect of ANG II on pHi, [Ca2+]i and cell volume was investigated in T84 cells, a cell line originated from colon epithelium, using the probes BCECF-AM, Fluo 4-AM and acridine orange, respectively. The recovery rate of pHi via the Na+/H+ exchanger was examined in the first 2 min following the acidification of pHi with a NH4Cl pulse. In the control situation, the pHi recovery rate was 0.118 ± 0.001 (n = 52) pH units/min and ANG II (10−12 M or 10−9 M) increased this value (by 106% or 32%, respectively) but ANG II (10−7 M) decreased it to 47%. The control [Ca2+]i was 99 ± 4 (n = 45) nM and ANG II increased this value in a dose-dependent manner. The ANG II effects on cell volume were minor and late and should not interfere in the measurements of pHi recovery and [Ca2+]i. To document the signaling pathways in the hormonal effects we used: Staurosporine (a PKC inhibitor), W13 (a calcium-dependent calmodulin antagonist), H89 (a PKA inhibitor) or Econazole (an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 epoxygenase). Our results indicate that the biphasic effect of ANG II on Na+/H+ exchanger is a cAMP-independent mechanism and is the result of: 1) stimulation of the exchanger by PKC signaling pathway activation (at 10−12 – 10−7 M ANG II) and by increases of [Ca2+]i in the lower range (at 10−12 M ANG II) and 2) inhibition of the exchanger at high [Ca2+]i levels (at 10−9 – 10−7 M ANG II) through cytochrome P450 epoxygenase-dependent metabolites of the arachidonic acid signaling pathway.  相似文献

Background  

Differentiating Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae respond upon cAMP-stimulation with an increase in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) that is composed of liberation of stored Ca2+ and extracellular Ca2+-influx. In this study we investigated whether intracellular cAMP is involved in the control of [Ca2+]i.  相似文献

We investigated the contribution of L-, N- and P/Q-type Ca2+ channels to the [Ca2+]i changes, evoked by kainate, in the cell bodies of hippocampal neurons, using a pharmacological approach and Ca2+ imaging. Selective Ca2+ channel blockers, namely nitrendipine, ω-Conotoxin GVIA (ω-GVIA) and ω-Agatoxin IVA (ω-AgaIVA) were used. The [Ca2+]i changes evoked by kainate presented a high variability, and were abolished by NBQX, a AMPA/kainate receptor antagonist, but the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, D-AP5, was without effect. Each Ca2+ channel blocker caused differential inhibitory effects on [Ca2+]i responses evoked by kainate. We grouped the neurons for each blocker in three subpopulations: (1) neurons with responses below 60% of the control; (2) neurons with responses between 60% and 90% of the control, and (3) neurons with responses above 90% of the control. The inhibition caused by nitrendipine was higher than the inhibition caused by ω-GVIA or ω-AgaIVA. Thus, in the presence of nitrendipine, the percentage of cells with responses below 60% of the control was 41%, whereas in the case of ω-GVIA or ω-AgaIVA the values were 9 or 17%, respectively. The results indicate that hippocampal neurons differ in what concerns their L-, N- and P/Q- type Ca2+ channels activated by stimulation of the AMPA/kainate receptors.

Summary Calcium binding protein-1 (CaBP1) is a calmodulin like protein shown to modulate Ca2+ channel activities. Here, we explored the functions of long and short spliced CaBP1 variants (L- and S-CaBP1) in modulating stimulus-secretion coupling in primary cultured bovine chromaffin cells. L- and S-CaBP1 were cloned from rat brain and fused with yellow fluorescent protein at the C-terminal. When expressed in chromaffin cells, wild-type L- and S-CaBP1s could be found in the cytosol, plasma membrane and a perinuclear region; in contrast, the myristoylation-deficient mutants were not found in the membrane. More than 20 and 70% of Na+ and Ca2+ currents, respectively, were inhibited by wild-type isoforms but not myristoylation-deficient mutants. The [Ca2+] i response evoked by high K+ buffer and the exocytosis elicited by membrane depolarizations were inhibited only by wild-type isoforms. Neuronal Ca2+ sensor-1 and CaBP5, both are calmodulin-like proteins, did not affect Na+, Ca2+ currents, and exocytosis. When expressed in cultured cortical neurons, the [Ca2+] i responses elicited by high-K+ depolarization were inhibited by CaBP1 isoforms. In HEK293T cells cotransfected with N-type Ca2+ channel and L-CaBP1, the current was reduced and activation curve was shifted positively. These results demonstrate the importance of CaBP1s in modulating the stimulus-secretion coupling in excitable cells. M.-L. Chen and Y.-C. Chen contributed equally to this study  相似文献

In dividing embryos, a localized elevation in intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) at the cleavage furrow has been shown to be essential for cytokinesis. However, the underlying mechanisms for generating and maintaining these [Ca2+]i gradients throughout cytokinesis are not fully understood. In the present study, we analyzed the role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) distribution in determining the intracellular Ca2+ gradients in early zebrafish blastomeres. Application of the injected Ca2+ indicator, Indo-1, showed that during the first cell division a standing Ca2+ gradient was formed ∼35 min after fertilization, with the [Ca2+]i spatially decaying from 500–600 nmol/L at the cleavage furrow to 100–200 nmol/L around the nucleus. While the IP3R immunohistochemical fluorescence was relatively concentrated in the peri-furrow region, ER labeling was relatively enriched in both peri-furrow and peri-nuclear regions. Numeric simulation suggested that a divergence in the spatial distribution of IP3R and the locations of Ca2+ uptake within the ER was essential for the formation of a standing Ca2+ gradient, and the Ca2+ gradient could only be well-established under an optimal stoichiometry of Ca2+ uptake and release. Indeed, while inhibition of IP3R Ca2+ release blocked the generation of the Ca2+ gradient at a lower [Ca2+]i level, both Ca2+ release stimulation by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) injection and ER Ca2+ pump inhibition by cyclopiazonic acid also eliminated the Ca2+ gradients at higher [Ca2+]i levels. Our results suggest a dynamic relationship between ER-mediated Ca2+ release and uptake that underlies the maintenance of the perifurrow Ca2+ gradient and is essential for cytokinesis of zebrafish embryos.  相似文献

Effects of intracellular Mg2+ on a native Ca2+-and voltage-sensitive large-conductance K+ channel in cultured human renal proximal tubule cells were examined with the patch-clamp technique in the inside-out mode. At an intracellular concentration of Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) of 10−5–10−4 M, addition of 1–10 mM Mg2+ increased the open probability (Po) of the channel, which shifted the Po –membrane potential (Vm) relationship to the negative voltage direction without causing an appreciable change in the gating charge (Boltzmann constant). However, the Mg2+-induced increase in Po was suppressed at a relatively low [Ca2+]i (10−5.5–10−6 M). Dwell-time histograms have revealed that addition of Mg2+ mainly increased Po by extending open times at 10−5 M Ca2+ and extending both open and closed times simultaneously at 10−5.5 M Ca2+. Since our data showed that raising the [Ca2+]i from 10−5 to 10−4 M increased Po mainly by shortening the closed time, extension of the closed time at 10−5.5 M Ca2+ would result from the Mg2+-inhibited Ca2+-dependent activation. At a constant Vm, adding Mg2+ enhanced the sigmoidicity of the Po–[Ca2+]i relationship with an increase in the Hill coefficient. These results suggest that the major action of Mg2+ on this channel is to elevate Po by lengthening the open time, while extension of the closed time at a relatively low [Ca2+]i results from a lowering of the sensitivity to Ca2+ of the channel by Mg2+, which causes the increase in the Hill coefficient.

The effects of Т1+ ions on the dynamics of intracellular Cа2+ in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes have been studied. It was shown for the first time that application of Т1+ led to an uncontrolled increase in [Cа2+]i in cells. Moreover, the ability of Т1+ to increase [Cа2+]i depended on the Т1+ concentration used and the time of exposure to the cells. The increase in [Cа2+]i was related to the entry of Cа2+ from the extracellular medium. Thallium did not release Cа2+ from intracellular stores. The thallium-induced increase in [Cа2+]i was not inhibited by nifedipine. It is possible that L-channels do not participate in the processes of thalliuminduced increase in [Cа2+]i. It is assumed that the thallium ions-induced calcium overload in cardiomyocytes may contribute to the toxic effect of Т1+ on the myocardium.  相似文献

Recent evidences indicate the existence of an atypical D1 dopamine receptor other than traditional D1 dopamine receptor in the brain that mediates PI hydrolysis via activation of phospholipase Cβ (PLCβ). To further understand the basic physiological function of this receptor in brain, the effects of a selective phosphoinositide (PI)-linked D1 dopamine receptor agonist SKF83959 on cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in cultured rat prefrontal cortical astrocytes were investigated by calcium imaging. The results indicated that SKF83959 caused a transient dose-dependent increase in [Ca2+]i. Application of D1 receptor, but not D2, α1 adrenergic, 5-HT receptor, or cholinergic antagonist prevented SKF83959-induced [Ca2+]i rise, indicating that activation of the D1 dopamine receptor was essential for this response. Increase in [Ca2+]i was a two-step process characterized by an initial increase in [Ca2+]i mediated by release from intracellular stores, supplemented by influx through voltage-gated calcium channels, receptor-operated calcium channels, and capacitative Ca2+ entry. Furthermore, SKF83959-stimulated increase in [Ca2+]i was abolished following treatment with a PLC inhibitor. Overall, these results suggested that activation of D1 receptor by SKF83959 mediates a dose-dependent mobilization of [Ca2+]i via the PLC signaling pathway in cultured rat prefrontal cortical astrocytes.  相似文献

The anoxia-dependent elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, [Ca2+]cyt, was investigated in plants differing in tolerance to hypoxia. The [Ca2+]cyt was measured by fluorescence microscopy in single protoplasts loaded with the calcium-fluoroprobe Fura 2-AM. Imposition of anoxia led to a fast (within 3 min) significant elevation of [Ca2+]cyt in rice leaf protoplasts. A tenfold drop in the external Ca2+ concentration (to 0.1 mM) resulted in considerable decrease of the [Ca2+]cyt shift. Rice root protoplasts reacted upon anoxia with higher amplitude. Addition of plasma membrane (verapamil, La3+ and EGTA) and intracellular membrane Ca2+-channel antagonists (Li+, ruthenium red and cyclosporine A) reduced the anoxic Ca2+-accumulation in rice. Wheat protoplasts responded to anoxia by smaller changes of [Ca2+]cyt. In wheat leaf protoplasts, the amplitude of the Ca2+-shift little depended on the external level of Ca2+. Wheat root protoplasts were characterized by a small shift of [Ca2+]cyt under anoxia. Plasmalemma Ca2+-channel blockers had little effect on the elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ in wheat protoplasts. Intact rice seedlings absorbed Ca2+ from the external medium under anoxic treatment. On the contrary, wheat seedlings were characterized by leakage of Ca2+. Verapamil abolished the Ca2+ influx in rice roots and Ca2+ efflux from wheat roots. Anoxia-induced [Ca2+]cyt elevation was high particularly in rice, a hypoxia-tolerant species. In conclusion, both external and internal Ca2+ stores are important for anoxic [Ca2+]cyt elevation in rice, whereas the hypoxia-intolerant wheat does not require external sources for [Ca2+]cyt rise. Leaf and root protoplasts similarly responded to anoxia, independent of their organ origin.  相似文献
