Evoked transient intracellular free Ca2+ changes and secretion in isolated bovine adrenal medullary cells 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16

When isolated bovine adrenal medullary cells are incubated with the lipid-soluble Quin 2 acetoxymethyl ester, the ester permeates the plasma membrane and enters the cytosol, where it is hydrolysed by endogenous enzymes to yield an impermeant fluorescent indicator (Quin 2) which is sensitive to Ca2+ in the 0.1 microM range. This technique permits the average intracellular free Ca2+ level ([Ca2+]i) to be determined in a suspension of adrenal medullary cells. Unstimulated cells have a [Ca2+]i of 97 +/- 4 nM (n = 69). This level seems independent of extracellular calcium in the range 0.5-2 mM. When the extracellular calcium concentration is lowered to ca. 10(-7) M, however, [Ca2+]i decreases. A transient increase in [Ca2+]i occurs when cells are challenged with either acetylcholine or a high potassium medium. The time course of the [Ca2+]i transient rises to a maximum within seconds, and decreases to basal levels over minutes. The maximum level of [Ca2+]i associated with secretion is very variable. Hexamethonium, methyoxyverapamil, and the absence of extracellular calcium block not only the secretory response but also the [Ca2+]i transient. The action of acetylcholine leading to the Ca2+]i transient is blocked when cells are suspended in a depolarizing medium. Extracellular magnesium inhibits both the [Ca2+]i transient and the secretory response evoked by acetylcholine. Secretion is, however, more sensitive to magnesium inhibition than is calcium entry. The magnitudes of the [Ca2+]i transient and the secretory response decrease as the concentration of intracellular Quin 2 increases. Measurements of the amount of indicator titrated with calcium, as a result of an acetylcholine or potassium challenge, suggest that the increase in the apparent calcium content of the cytosol might arise from two contributing sources of calcium entry. 相似文献

The change in cytoplasmic free calcium, [Ca2+]i in isolated bovine adrenal medullary cells during stimulation by acetylcholine (ACh) in Ca2+-free incubation medium was measured using the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator quin2. ACh (1-100 microM) caused an increase in [Ca2+]i by mobilization of Ca2+ from the intracellular pool. Nicotine (10 microM) did not increase [Ca2+]i in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Pretreatment of the cells with atropine (10 microM) completely inhibited ACh-induced increase in [Ca2+]i, whereas pretreatment with hexamethonium (100 microM) did not. The intracellular Ca2+ antagonist 8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate (TMB-8), inhibited ACh-induced increase in [Ca2+]i. The activator of protein kinase C 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), but not its 'inactive' analog 4 alpha-phorbol-12,13-didecanoate (PDD), also inhibited ACh-induced increase in [Ca2+]i. These findings suggest that in bovine adrenal medullary cells, stimulation of muscarinic ACh receptor causes an increase in [Ca2+]i by mobilizing Ca2+ from the intracellular pool and that protein kinase C is involved in 'termination' or 'down regulation' of this response. 相似文献

Effects of acetylcholine, TSH and other stimulators on intracellular calcium concentration in dog thyroid cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The intracellular free calcium concentration, [Ca2+]i, has been measured in dog thyroid cells using the fluorescent Ca2+-indicator, quin2. Acetylcholine or its non-hydrolyzable analog, carbamylcholine rapidly increased [Ca2+]i by 40 +/- 4% (mean +/- SE) over the basal level of 81 +/- 2 nM. This increase was totally abolished by atropine, a muscarinic cholinergic receptor blocker, but was not influenced by verapamil, a voltage dependent-calcium channel blocker. Depletion of extracellular Ca2+ by the addition of EGTA, diminished but did not abolish the response to carbamylcholine. These data suggest that cholinergic effectors increase [Ca2+]i by mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores rather than from an influx of Ca2+. Addition of TSH, isoproterenol, phorbol ester, dibutyryl cyclic GMP or cyclic AMP did not elicit any change in [Ca2+]i suggesting that their action may not involve any mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. These data provide direct evidence that in the thyroid cell, cholinergic agents act via their receptors to cause a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i, which may mediate their metabolic effects. 相似文献

Con A刺激致T淋巴细胞胞浆游离Ca~(2+)浓度升高 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
本文分别应用荧光Ca~(2+)指示剂Quin2和Indo-1研究了Con A刺激的T淋巴细胞[Ca~(2+)]i升高过程及其发生机制.结果表明Con A与T淋巴细胞作用可导致细胞[Ca~(2+)]i的迅速升高.这种增加的胞内游离Ca~(2+)不仅来自胞外Ca~(2+)的内流,也来源于胞内钙库的释放.其中Ca~(2+)内流与T细胞钙通道的开放有关.可被钙通道抑制剂戊脉胺抑制,细胞的去极化及钾通道阻断剂四乙胺均不能阻断Ca~(2+)的内流,提示Ca~(2+)内流不是通过电位操纵的钙通道实现的,也与拥通道的开闭无关.Ca~(2+)内流可能是通过Con A受体活化的受体操纵的钙通道而实现的. 相似文献

We investigated the effect of PCB-77, -126 or -153 (10 or 100 ng/ml) on free intracellular calcium concentrations([Ca2+]i) in bovine myometrial cells from days 1-5 of the estrous cycle. Cells were incubated with or without PCBs for 48 h (38 degrees C, aerated atmosphere) and thereafter [Ca2+]i was measured by means of fluorescent calcium indicator Fura-2. PCBs increased basal concentrations of [Ca2+]i measured before oxytocin (OT) challenge. The increase in [Ca2+]i in cells incubated with PCBs and challenged with OT was inhibited or delayed when compared to control OT-stimulated cells (p<0.05). The applied doses of PCBs did not affect viability of myometrial cells. In conclusion, the influence of PCBs upon intracellular calcium mobilization in myometrial cells impaired the bovine uterus contractility. 相似文献

Immunoglobulin E receptor cross-linking induces oscillations in intracellular free ionized calcium in individual tumor mast cells 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Fura-2 fluorescence in single rat basophilic leukemia cells was monitored to study the rise in intracellular free ionized calcium ([Ca2+]i) produced by aggregation of immunoglobulin E receptors. Repetitive transient increases in [Ca2+]i were induced by antigen stimulation and were measured using digital video imaging microscopy at high time resolution. The [Ca2+]i oscillations were not dependent upon changes in the membrane potential of the cells and were observed in cells stimulated with antigen either with or without extracellular Ca2+. Transient oscillations in [Ca2+]i were also observed when calcium influx was blocked with La3+. These results suggested that during antigen stimulation of cells under normal physiological conditions, release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores makes an important contribution to the initial increase in [Ca2+]i. Oscillations in [Ca2+]i are not induced by elevating [Ca2+]i with the calcium ionophore ionomycin. Mitochondrial calcium buffering is not required for [Ca2+]i oscillations to occur. The results show that rat basophilic leukemia cells have significant stores of calcium and that release of calcium from these stores can participate in both the initial rise and the oscillations in [Ca2+]i. 相似文献

Voltage-regulated calcium channels involved in the regulation of enkephalin synthesis are blocked by phorbol ester treatment 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Treatment of bovine chromaffin cells with 40 mM KCl stimulates a 3-fold increase in total methionine enkephalin immunoreactivity (medium plus cells) and a 4-fold increase in proenkephalin mRNA (mRNAenk). These effects of KCl, which are dependent on extracellular calcium, can be blocked by treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), although release of methionine enkephalin appears less affected. Using fura-2-loaded chromaffin cells and a dual-excitation wavelength spectrofluorometer, we have examined whether the actions of KCl and TPA on methionine enkephalin synthesis and release can be explained by changes in intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i). KCl produced a rapid 600 nM increase in [Ca2+]i from resting levels of approximately 170 nM. Subsequently, [Ca2+]i declined to a new steady-state plateau which was approximately 275 nM higher than the original resting levels. The postdepolarization plateau of [Ca2+]i was reduced by TPA, (-)-(R)-202,791 (a dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist), and LaCl3 (a nonselective calcium channel blocker). TPA also inhibited potentiation of the KCl-stimulated plateau of [Ca2+]i due to (+)-(S)-202,791, a calcium channel agonist. In contrast, TPA had no effect on resting [Ca2+]i and only slightly inhibited the initial rapid KCl-stimulated increase in [Ca2+]i. The inhibitory effects were maintained for 24 h in the continuous presence of TPA. We conclude 1) that TPA inhibits enkephalin synthesis by inactivating dihydropyridine-sensitive voltage-dependent calcium channels, 2) that these channels alone maintain elevated [Ca2+]i following KCl depolarization, and 3) that sustained elevation in [Ca2+]i is necessary in order to increase enkephalin synthesis in KCl-treated chromaffin cells. 相似文献

We examined the response in the free intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) of Daudi (human lymphoblastoid) cells to antibodies against human immunoglobulins (anti-Ig), and the relationship of [Ca2+]i to anti-Ig-induced capping. At 80 microM intracellular quin-2 (a fluorescent probe for [Ca2+]i), anti-Ig (10 micrograms/ml) caused a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i from 100 to 600 nM; the signal returned to baseline with approximately 1 min. At 450 microM intracellular quin-2, [Ca2+]i rose to only approximately 250 microM, and the signal declined gradually, returning to base line after greater than 7 min. In subsequent experiments, the lower concentrations of quin-2 were employed. Plots of the amplitude of the [Ca2+]i transients and of the binding of 125I-anti-Ig to Daudi cells versus the concentrations of anti-Ig showed similar saturation kinetics, with half-saturation occurring at 2-3 micrograms/ml. Part of the calcium in the transient is derived from the extracellular medium, and part from the nonmitochondrial intracellular stores. Caffeine (4 mM) and 8-(diethylamino)octyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate HCl (0.5 mM) suppressed the release of calcium from internal stores and the entry of calcium from outside the cells, but permitted capping in more than half of the cells. Phorbol esters (1-2 nM) inhibited both capping and the anti-Ig-induced decrease in [Ca2+]i. None of these agents blocked the binding of anti-Ig to the cells. It appears that receptor capping is not dependent on the anti-Ig-induced transient increase in calcium concentration. 相似文献

In many cells, inhibition of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-ATPase activity induces a steady-state increase in cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) that is sustained by calcium influx. The goal was to characterize the response to inhibition of SR Ca2+-ATPase activity in bovine airway smooth muscle cells. Cells were dispersed from bovine trachealis and loaded with fura 2-AM (0.5 microM) for imaging of single cells. Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA; 5 microM) inhibited refilling of both caffeine- and carbachol-sensitive calcium stores. In the presence of extracellular calcium, CPA caused a transient increase in [Ca2+]i from 166 +/- 11 to 671 +/- 100 nM, and then [Ca2+]i decreased to a sustained level (CPA plateau; 236 +/- 19 nM) significantly above basal. The CPA plateau spontaneously declined toward basal levels after 10 min and was attenuated by discharging intracellular calcium stores. When CPA was applied during sustained stimulation with caffeine or carbachol, decreases in [Ca2+]i were observed. We concluded that the CPA plateau depended on the presence of SR calcium and that SR Ca2+-ATPase activity contributed to sustained increases in [Ca2+]i during stimulation with caffeine and, to a lesser extent, carbachol. 相似文献

The intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([free Ca2+]i) was measured simultaneously with the Ca2+ extrusion from single isolated mouse pancreatic acinar cells placed in a microdroplet of extracellular solution using the fluorescent probes fura-2 and fluo-3. The extracellular solution had a low total calcium concentration (15-35 microM), and acetylcholine (ACh), applied by microionophoresis, therefore only evoked a transient elevation of [free Ca2+]i lasting about 2-5 min. The initial sharp rise in [free Ca2+]i from about 100 nM toward 0.5-1 microM was followed within seconds by an increase in the total calcium concentration in the microdroplet solution ([Ca]o). The rate of this rise of [Ca]o was dependent on the [free Ca2+]i elevation, and as [free Ca2+]i gradually decreased Ca2+ extrusion declined with the same time course. Ca2+ extrusion following ACh stimulation was not influenced by removal of all Na+ in the microdroplet solution indicating that the Ca2+ extrusion is not mediated by Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange but by the Ca2+ pump. The amount of Ca2+ extruded during the ACh-evoked transient rise in [free Ca2+]i corresponded to a decrease in the total intracellular Ca concentration of about 0.7 mM which is close to previously reported values (0.5-1 mM) for the total concentration of mobilizable calcium in these cells. Our results therefore demonstrate directly the ability of the Ca2+ pump to rapidly remove the large amount of Ca2+ released from the intracellular pools during receptor activation. 相似文献

Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) was measured in FURA 2-loaded endothelial cells plated on fibronectin or vitronectin. Average values for [Ca2+]i increased to approximately twofold above basal levels by approximately 1 h after plating, and then declined. The increase in [Ca2+]i required extracellular calcium. Substituting potassium for sodium in the medium reduced the elevation of [Ca2+]i, a result that rules out the involvement of Na-Ca exchangers or voltage-dependent calcium channels, but that is consistent with the involvement of voltage-independent calcium channels. Plating cells on an anti-integrin beta 1 subunit antibody gave a similar [Ca2+]i response, but clustering beta 1 integrins with the same antibody, or occupying integrins with RGD (arg-gly-asp) peptides had no effect. Time course measurements on single cells revealed that in each cell [Ca2+]i rose abruptly at some point during spreading, from the basal level to a higher steady-state level that was maintained for some time. The elevated [Ca2+]i was unrelated to previously observed changes in intracellular pH, because chelating the Ca2+ in the medium failed to inhibit the elevation of pHi that occurred during cell spreading. In conclusion, these results show that integrin-mediated cell spreading can regulate [Ca2+]i, and the pathways involved are distinct from those that regulate intracellular pH. 相似文献

Human interferon (IFN) stimulates a 1.5- to 1.7-fold transient increase in the concentration of cytoplasmic-free calcium ion ([Ca2+]i) within 10-20 s upon exposure of RPMI-4788 cells to IFN. This early event of IFN-induced [Ca2+]i mobilization was measurable by loading the cells with Fura-2AM, a fluorescent Ca2+ indicator. The mobilization induced by IFN-beta or IFN-gamma was dependent on the concentration of each IFN. The increased [Ca2+]i gradually returned to its resting level within 60 s. The addition of EGTA (0.5-10 mM) to medium induced a marked decrease in the amount of [Ca2+]i mobilized by IFN-beta and a partial decrease by IFN-gamma. This finding suggests that the mechanisms of [Ca2+]i mobilization by IFN-beta and IFN-gamma might be different. While IFN-beta-induced mobilization may be mainly from an influx of the extracellular calcium ion ([Ca2+]o), IFN-gamma-induced mobilization may be a summation of an influx of [Ca2+]o and a release from intracellular Ca2+ stores. 相似文献

Transmembrane calcium influx induced by ac electric fields. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Exogenous electric fields induce cellular responses including redistribution of integral membrane proteins, reorganization of microfilament structures, and changes in intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i). Although increases in [Ca2+]i caused by application of direct current electric fields have been documented, quantitative measurements of the effects of alternating current (ac) electric fields on [Ca2+]i are lacking and the Ca2+ pathways that mediate such effects remain to be identified. Using epifluorescence microscopy, we have examined in a model cell type the [Ca2+]i response to ac electric fields. Application of a 1 or 10 Hz electric field to human hepatoma (Hep3B) cells induces a fourfold increase in [Ca2+]i (from 50 nM to 200 nM) within 30 min of continuous field exposure. Depletion of Ca2+ in the extracellular medium prevents the electric field-induced increase in [Ca2+]i, suggesting that Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane is responsible for the [Ca2+]i increase. Incubation of cells with the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 does not inhibit ac electric field-induced increases in [Ca2+]i, suggesting that receptor-regulated release of intracellular Ca2+ is not important for this effect. Treatment of cells with either the stretch-activated cation channel inhibitor GdCl3 or the nonspecific calcium channel blocker CoCl2 partially inhibits the [Ca2+]i increase induced by ac electric fields, and concomitant treatment with both GdCl3 and CoCl2 completely inhibits the field-induced [Ca2+]i increase. Since neither Gd3+ nor Co2+ is efficiently transported across the plasma membrane, these data suggest that the increase in [Ca2+]i induced by ac electric fields depends entirely on Ca2+ influx from the extracellular medium. 相似文献

Regulation of cytoplasmic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+)]i) is a key factor for maintenance of viability of cells, including oocytes. Indeed, during fertilization of an ovum, [Ca2+]i is known to undergo oscillations, but it is unknown how basal [Ca2+]i or calcium oscillations are regulated. In the present study we investigated the role of the plasma membrane in regulating [Ca2+]i of metaphase II-arrested mouse oocytes (ova). Ova were collected from B6C3F1 mice treated with eCG (10 IU) and hCG (5 IU), and intracellular calcium was determined by means of fura-2. Extracellular calcium flux across the zona pellucida was detected noninvasively by a calcium ion-selective, self-referencing microelectrode that was positioned by a computer-controlled micromanipulator. Under basal conditions ova exhibited a calcium net efflux of 20.6 +/- 5.2 fmol/cm2 per sec (n = 69). Treatment of ova with ethanol (7%) or thapsigargin (25 nM-2.5 microM) transiently increased intracellular calcium and stimulated calcium efflux that paralleled levels of [Ca2+]i. The presence of a Na+/Ca2+ exchanger was indicated by experiments employing both bepridil, an inhibitor of Na+/Ca2+ exchange, and sodium-depleted media. In the presence of bepridil, a net influx of calcium was revealed across the zona pellucida, which was reflected by an increase in the [Ca2+]i. In addition, replenishment of extracellular sodium to ova that had been incubated in sodium-depleted media induced a large calcium efflux, consistent with the actions of Na+/Ca2+ exchange. Sodium/calcium exchange in mouse ova may be an important mechanism that regulates [Ca2+]i. 相似文献

Calcium is an important regulator of cell function, and may be influenced by the intracellular sodium content. In the present study, the Na(+)-ionophore, monensin, was used to investigate the interrelationship between changes in intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) and elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in FRTL-5 thyroid cells. Cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels were measured using the fluorescent dye, indo-1. Monensin induced a dose-dependent increase in [Ca2+]i in FRTL-5 cells. Inhibitors of intracellular Ca2+ release, TMB-8 and ryanodine, were unable to prevent the monensin effect on [Ca2+]i. The alpha 1-receptor antagonist, prazosin, did not block the monensin-stimulated increase in [Ca2+]i. In the absence of extracellular calcium there was a marked diminution in the monensin effect on [Ca2+]i, yet calcium channel antagonists (nifedipine, diltiazem and verapamil) did not inhibit the response. Replacement of Na+ by choline chloride in the medium depressed the monensin-evoked rise in [Ca2+]i by up to 84%. Furthermore, addition of the Na(+)-channel agonist, veratridine, elicited an increase in [Ca2+]i, even though less dramatic than that caused by monensin. Ouabain increased the resting cytosolic Ca2+ concentration as well as the magnitude of the monensin effect on [Ca2+]i. The absence of any effect on the Na(+)-ionophore evoked increase in [Ca2+]i upon addition of tetrodotoxin (TTX) excluded a possible involvement of TTX-sensitive Na+ channels. These data show that the rise in [Ca2+]i induced by increasing [Na+]i is largely dependent on both external Na+ and Ca2+. Calcium entry appears not to involve voltage-dependent or alpha 1-receptor sensitive Ca2+ channels, but may result from activation of an Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange system. 相似文献

Ca2+ priming during vitamin D-induced monocytic differentiation of a human leukemia cell line 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) induces monocytic differentiation of the human promyelocytic leukemia line, HL-60, and enhances Ca2+ transport in target cells of the mineral metabolism system. Hence, we determined whether the steroid's maturational effect on HL-60 involves alterations of intracellular calcium [( Ca2+]i). We found that, as detected by indo-1 fluorescence, [Ca2+]i increases in a slow tonic manner from 99 +/- 11 nM in virgin HL-60 to 182 +/- 19 nM (p less than 0.001) in those treated with 1,25-(OH)2D3 for 24 h. The first apparent rise in [Ca2+]i occurs at between 6 and 12 h and parallels expression of alpha-thrombin and N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) receptors. This increase in [Ca2+]i is derived from extracellular calcium as its reduction abolishes the effect. The increase in [Ca2+]i is associated with an increase in inositol trisphosphate-stimulated Ca2+ flux from intracellular stores. Interestingly, 1,25-(OH)2D3-mediated HL-60 differentiation as manifest by expression of the macrophage-specific antigen, 63D3, is not blocked by low extracellular calcium. In contrast, the fMLP-induced superoxide ion generation is diminished if the increase in [Ca2+]i is prevented. Furthermore, fMLP-stimulated signal transduction is also reduced by limiting the stimulation of [Ca2+]i during 1,25-(OH)2D3 treatment. Thus, although differentiation of HL-60 to the monocytic phenotype by 1,25-(OH)2D3 is Ca2+-independent, expression of response to regulatory stimuli requires priming of cellular Ca2+ stores. The latter appears to be induced by 1,25-(OH)2D3 via stimulated Ca2+ entry through the plasma membrane. 相似文献

For superoxide (O2-) responses of human neutrophils stimulated by FMLP, experiments were designed to assess the requirement of extracellular calcium [( Ca2+]o) for priming of O2- responses by platelet-activating factor (PAF), PMA, or ionomycin. Although priming by PMA did not require [Ca2+]o, there was, as expected, a requirement for [Ca2+]o for the optimal priming effects of PAF and ionomycin. The ED50 value for [Ca2+]o in the priming function of PAF was 105 microM. The [Ca2+]o-dependent priming with ionomycin was bimodal with two ED50 values for [Ca2+]o of 90 microM and 3.2 mM. Optimal priming by PAF required at least 4-min exposure of cells to [Ca2+]o. Cells primed by PAF exhibited faster initial rates of O2-production after addition of FMLP, but the duration of O2- production was not prolonged. Whereas PAF-primed responses to FMLP are usually associated with increases in intracellular calcium [( Ca2+]i) after addition of FMLP, two conditions were found in which O2- responses to FMLP in PAF-primed cells occurred in the absence of any detectable increase in [Ca2+]i. When cells were loaded with the calcium chelator, bis-(O-aminophenoxy)-ethane-H,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, and then primed with PAF, normal amounts of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate were formed, but no increase in [Ca2+]i occurred after addition of FMLP even though the cells exhibited a fully primed O2- response; in Ca2(+)-depleted and ionomycin-permeabilized cells that were primed with PAF and then stimulated with FMLP, O2- was generated in amounts comparable to reference control (primed) cells, but there was suppressed production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and no increase in [Ca2+]i after addition of FMLP to PAF-primed cells. These data confirm the requirement of [Ca2+]o for optimal priming of neutrophils by PAF and ionomycin (but not cells primed by PMA) and indicate that, under certain conditions, generation of O2- in response to FMLP in PAF-primed neutrophils can occur independent of any increase in [Ca2+]i. 相似文献

Purification of gonadotropes and intracellular free calcium oscillation. Effects of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and interleukin 6 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in single gonadotropes was measured with a calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye indo-1 or fura-2 and a digital imaging fluorescence microscopic system to determine how interleukin-6 (IL-6) increases release of gonadotropins. IL-6 induced an increase in the basal [Ca2+]i or the amplitude of spontaneous oscillation of [Ca2+]i in gonadotropes in a mixed population. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn-RH) induced a biphasic increase in [Ca2+]i, a transient increase, and then a prolonged increase. These effects were inhibited by the absence of extracellular calcium or pretreatment with calcium channel blockers, cobalt or nifedipine. Next, purified gonadotropes were prepared by fluorescence-activated cell sorting and argon laser treatment of the cells. Gonadotropes labeled with anti-luteinizing hormone antibody were sorted by fluorescence-activated cell sorting and then cultured as monolayers for 24-48 h. In this way, gonadotropes were concentrated from 5-10% to 70-85% from whole pituitary cells. After relabeling with anti-luteinizing hormone antibody, 100% purified gonadotropes were obtained by killing other types of cells with an argon laser. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone induced almost the same responses of [Ca2+]i in the purified cell population as in the mixed cell population, but IL-6 did not affect [Ca2+]i in the purified gonadotropes. These results suggest that IL-6 affects calcium mobilization in gonadotropes indirectly via paracrine pathways. 相似文献

We determined the effects of superoxide anion, produced by addition of xanthine oxidase to hypoxanthine, on the intracellular pH (pHi) and intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and release of arachidonate in human cultured amnion cells. Superoxide anion induced a prompt increase of pHi and subsequent increase of [Ca2+]i. The evoked pHi was inhibited by pretreatment with anion channel blockers but not affected by omission of extracellular Na+ or addition of amiloride. The increase of [Ca2+]i was inhibited significantly by the absence of extracellular calcium or by the addition of a calcium channel blocker, cobalt. NH4Cl, which can generally increase pHi, also increased [Ca2+]i of amnion cells. But the increase of [Ca2+]i induced by the NH4Cl was significantly less than that induced by the amount of superoxide anion causing a similar increase in pHi. These results show that superoxide anion, crossed through anion channel in membrane, increased [Ca2+]i at least partially via increase of pHi and that the calcium mobilization was dependent on both extracellular and intracellular sources. Superoxide anion induced the release of arachidonate in a dose-dependent manner and this induction was inhibited by omission of extracellular calcium. These data suggest that the release of arachidonate was dependent on the increase of [Ca2+]i. We also determined the viability of cells in the presence of superoxide anion by flow cytometry. Superoxide anion at the levels used in these experiments did not change the percentage of viable cells. These findings suggested that superoxide anion may regulate biological functions in amnion cells via pHi, [Ca2+]i mobilization, and the release of arachidonate without damaging the cells. 相似文献

The effects of differently opsonized zymosan particles, acting solely at Fc-gamma or at complement receptors or at both, on the level of intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) in human neutrophils were studied. A biphasic, long-lasting increase in [Ca2+]i was seen in response to IgG-, C3- and fresh serum-opsonized zymosan particles in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. Unopsonized zymosan, acting mainly at CR3 failed to elevate [Ca2+]i. Addition of 1.4 mM EGTA reduced but did not abolish the rise in [Ca2+]i triggered by opsonized zymosan, indicating that Ca2+ is released from intracellular stores. EGTA changed also the kinetic patterns of Ca(2+)-responses possibly by indirectly affecting the extrusion of Ca2+ in neutrophils. 相似文献
