Post-translational modification of mitochondrial proteins by phosphorylation or dephosphorylation plays an essential role in numerous cell signaling pathways involved in regulating energy metabolism and in mitochondrion-induced apoptosis. Here we present a phosphoproteomic screen of the mitochondrial matrix proteins and begin to establish the protein phosphorylations acutely associated with calcium ions (Ca(2+)) signaling in porcine heart mitochondria. Forty-five phosphorylated proteins were detected by gel electrophoresis-mass spectrometry of Pro-Q Diamond staining, while many more Pro-Q Diamond-stained proteins evaded mass spectrometry detection. Time-dependent (32)P incorporation in intact mitochondria confirmed the extensive matrix protein phosphoryation and revealed the dynamic nature of this process. Classes of proteins that were detected included all of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes, as well as enzymes involved in intermediary metabolism, such as pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), citrate synthase, and acyl-CoA dehydrogenases. These data demonstrate that the phosphoproteome of the mitochondrial matrix is extensive and dynamic. Ca(2+) has previously been shown to activate various dehydrogenases, promote the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and initiate apoptosis via cytochrome c release. To evaluate the Ca(2+) signaling network, the effects of a Ca(2+) challenge sufficient to release cytochrome c were evaluated on the mitochondrial phosphoproteome. Novel Ca(2+)-induced dephosphorylation was observed in manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) as well as the previously characterized PDH. A Ca(2+) dose-dependent dephosphorylation of MnSOD was associated with an approximately 2-fold maximum increase in activity; neither the dephosphorylation nor activity changes were induced by ROS production in the absence of Ca(2+). These data demonstrate the use of a phosphoproteome screen in determining mitochondrial signaling pathways and reveal new pathways for Ca(2+) modification of mitochondrial function at the level of MnSOD. 相似文献

Cytochrome c release occurs via Ca2+-dependent and Ca2+-independent mechanisms that are regulated by Bax 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Release of cytochrome c from mitochondria is a key initiative step in the apoptotic process, although the mechanisms regulating this event remain elusive. In the present study, using isolated liver mitochondria, we demonstrate that cytochrome c release occurs via distinct mechanisms that are either Ca(2+)-dependent or Ca(2+)-independent. An increase in mitochondrial matrix Ca(2+) promotes the opening of the permeability transition (PT) pore and the release of cytochrome c, an effect that is significantly enhanced when these organelles are incubated in a reaction buffer that is based on a physiologically relevant concentration of K(+) (150 mm KCl) versus a buffer composed of mannitol/sucrose/Hepes. Moreover, low concentrations of Ca(2+) are sufficient to induce mitochondrial cytochrome c release without measurable manifestations of PT, though inhibitors of PT effectively prevent this release, indicating that the critical threshold for PT varies among mitochondria within a single population of these organelles. In contrast, Ca(2+)-independent cytochrome c release is induced by oligomeric Bax protein and occurs without mitochondrial swelling or the release of matrix proteins, although our data also indicate that Bax enhances permeability transition-induced cytochrome c release. Taken together, our results suggest that the intramitochondrial Ca(2+) concentration, as well as the reaction buffer composition, are key factors in determining the mode and amount of cytochrome c release. Finally, oligomeric Bax appears to be capable of stimulating cytochrome c release via both Ca(2+)-dependent and Ca(2+)-independent mechanisms. 相似文献

Intracellular sodium modulates mitochondrial calcium signaling in vascular endothelial cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We have investigated the role of extramitochondrial Na(+) for the regulation of mitochondrial Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](m)) in permeabilized single vascular endothelial cells. [Ca(2+)](m) was measured by loading the cells with the membrane-permeant Ca(2+) indicator fluo-3/AM and subsequent removal of cytoplasmic fluo-3 by surface membrane permeabilization with digitonin. An elevation of extramitochondrial Ca(2+) resulted in a dose-dependent increase in the rate of Ca(2+) accumulation into mitochondria (k(0.5) = 3 microm) via the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter. In the presence of 10 mm extramitochondrial Na(+) ([Na(+)](em)), repetitive application of brief pulses of high Ca(2+) (2-10 microm) to simulate cytoplasmic [Ca(2+)] oscillations caused transient increases of [Ca(2+)](m) characterized by a fast rising phase that was followed by a slow decay. Removal of extramitochondrial Na(+) or inhibition of mitochondrial Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange with clonazepam blocked mitochondrial Ca(2+) efflux and resulted in a net accumulation of Ca(2+) by the mitochondria. Half-maximal activation of mitochondrial Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange occurred at [Na(+)](em) = 4.4 mm, which is well within the physiological range of cytoplasmic [Na(+)]. This study provides evidence that Ca(2+) efflux from the mitochondria in vascular endothelial cells occurs solely via Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange and emphasizes the important role of intracellular Na(+) for mitochondrial Ca(2+) regulation. 相似文献

Mitochondrial Ca2+ and the heart 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
It is now well established that mitochondria accumulate Ca(2+) ions during cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) elevations in a variety of cell types including cardiomyocytes. Elevations in intramitochondrial Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](m)) activate several key enzymes in the mitochondrial matrix to enhance ATP production, alter the spatial and temporal profile of intracellular Ca(2+) signaling, and play an important role in the initiation of cell death pathways. Moreover, mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake stimulates nitric oxide (NO) production by mitochondria, which modulates oxygen consumption, ATP production, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and in turn provides negative feedback for the regulation of mitochondrial Ca(2+) accumulation. Controversy remains, however, whether in cardiac myocytes mitochondrial Ca(2+) transport mechanisms allow beat-to-beat transmission of fast cytosolic [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations into oscillatory changes in mitochondrial matrix [Ca(2+)](m). This review critically summarizes the recent experimental work in this field. 相似文献

Thapsigargin induces biphasic fragmentation of mitochondria through calcium-mediated mitochondrial fission and apoptosis 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Mitochondrial fission and fusion are the main components mediating the dynamic change of mitochondrial morphology observed in living cells. While many protein factors directly participating in mitochondrial dynamics have been identified, upstream signals that regulate mitochondrial morphology are not well understood. In this study, we tested the role of intracellular Ca(2+) in regulating mitochondrial morphology. We found that treating cells with the ER Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin (TG) induced two phases of mitochondrial fragmentation. The initial fragmentation of mitochondria occurs rapidly within minutes dependent on an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) levels, and Ca(2+) influx into mitochondria is necessary for inducing mitochondrial fragmentation. The initial mitochondrial fragmentation is a transient event, as tubular mitochondrial morphology was restored as the Ca(2+) level decreased. We were able to block the TG-induced mitochondrial fragmentation by inhibiting mitochondrial fission proteins DLP1/Drp1 or hFis1, suggesting that increased mitochondrial Ca(2+) acts upstream to activate the cellular mitochondrial fission machinery. We also found that prolonged incubation with TG induced the second phase of mitochondrial fragmentation, which was non-reversible and led to cell death as reported previously. These results suggest that Ca(2+) is involved in controlling mitochondrial morphology via intra-mitochondrial Ca(2+) signaling as well as the apoptotic process. 相似文献

Long-lasting mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) openings damage mitochondria, but transient mPTP openings protect against chronic cardiac stress. To probe the mechanism, we subjected isolated cardiac mitochondria to gradual Ca(2+) loading, which, in the absence of BSA, induced long-lasting mPTP opening, causing matrix depolarization. However, with BSA present to mimic cytoplasmic fatty acid-binding proteins, the mitochondrial population remained polarized and functional, even after matrix Ca(2+) release caused an extramitochondrial free [Ca(2+)] increase to >10 μM, unless mPTP openings were inhibited. These findings could be explained by asynchronous transient mPTP openings allowing individual mitochondria to depolarize long enough to flush accumulated matrix Ca(2+) and then to repolarize rapidly after pore closure. Because subsequent matrix Ca(2+) reuptake via the Ca(2+) uniporter is estimated to be >100-fold slower than matrix Ca(2+) release via mPTP, only a tiny fraction of mitochondria (<1%) are depolarized at any given time. Our results show that transient mPTP openings allow cardiac mitochondria to defend themselves collectively against elevated cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels as long as respiratory chain activity is able to balance proton influx with proton pumping. We found that transient mPTP openings also stimulated reactive oxygen species production, which may engage reactive oxygen species-dependent cardioprotective signaling. 相似文献

In many cell types, transfer of Ca(2+) released via ryanodine receptors (RyR) to the mitochondrial matrix is locally supported by high [Ca(2+)] microdomains at close contacts between the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and mitochondria. Here we studied whether the close contacts were secured via direct physical coupling in cardiac muscle using isolated rat heart mitochondria (RHMs). "Immuno-organelle chemistry" revealed RyR2 and calsequestrin-positive SR particles associated with mitochondria in both crude and Percoll-purified "heavy" mitochondrial fractions (cRHM and pRHM), to a smaller extent in the latter one. Mitochondria-associated vesicles were also visualized by electron microscopy in the RHMs. Western blot analysis detected greatly reduced presence of SR markers (calsequestrin, SERCA2a, and phospholamban) in pRHM, suggesting that the mitochondria-associated particles represented a small subfraction of the SR. Fluorescence calcium imaging in rhod2-loaded cRHM revealed mitochondrial matrix [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](m)) responses to caffeine-induced Ca(2+) release that were prevented when thapsigargin was added to predeplete the SR or by mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake inhibitors. Importantly, caffeine failed to increase [Ca(2+)] in the large volume of the incubation medium, suggesting that local Ca(2+) transfer between the SR particles and mitochondria mediated the [Ca(2+)](m) signal. Despite the substantially reduced SR presence, pRHM still displayed a caffeine-induced [Ca(2+)](m) rise comparable with the one recorded in cRHM. Thus, a relatively small fraction of the total SR is physically coupled and transfers Ca(2+) locally to the mitochondria in cardiac muscle. The transferred Ca(2+) stimulates dehydrogenase activity and affects mitochondrial membrane permeabilization, indicating the broad significance of the physical coupling in mitochondrial function. 相似文献

Ca2+-induced oxidative stress in brain mitochondria treated with the respiratory chain inhibitor rotenone 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
In this study we show that micromolar Ca(2+) concentrations (>10 microM) strongly stimulate the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in rotenone-treated isolated rat forebrain mitochondria. Ca(2+)-stimulated mitochondrial ROS release was associated with membrane lipid peroxidation and was directly correlated with the degree of complex I inhibition by rotenone. On the other hand, Ca(2+) did not increase mitochondrial ROS release in the presence of the complex I inhibitor 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium. Cyclosporin A had no effect on Ca(2+)-stimulated mitochondrial ROS release in the presence of rotenone, indicating that mitochondrial permeability transition is not involved in this process. We hypothesized that Ca(2+)-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress associated with partial inhibition of complex I may be an important factor in neuronal cell death observed in the neurodegenerative disorder Parkinson's disease. 相似文献

Mitochondrial calcium signalling and cell death: approaches for assessing the role of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake in apoptosis 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Local Ca(2+) transfer between adjoining domains of the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) and mitochondria allows ER/SR Ca(2+) release to activate mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake and to evoke a matrix [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](m)) rise. [Ca(2+)](m) exerts control on several steps of energy metabolism to synchronize ATP generation with cell function. However, calcium signal propagation to the mitochondria may also ignite a cell death program through opening of the permeability transition pore (PTP). This occurs when the Ca(2+) release from the ER/SR is enhanced or is coincident with sensitization of the PTP. Recent studies have shown that several pro-apoptotic factors, including members of the Bcl-2 family proteins and reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate the Ca(2+) sensitivity of both the Ca(2+) release channels in the ER and the PTP in the mitochondria. To test the relevance of the mitochondrial Ca(2+) accumulation in various apoptotic paradigms, methods are available for buffering of [Ca(2+)], for dissipation of the driving force of the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake and for inhibition of the mitochondrial Ca(2+) transport mechanisms. However, in intact cells, the efficacy and the specificity of these approaches have to be established. Here we discuss mechanisms that recruit the mitochondrial calcium signal to a pro-apoptotic cascade and the approaches available for assessment of the relevance of the mitochondrial Ca(2+) handling in apoptosis. We also present a systematic evaluation of the effect of ruthenium red and Ru360, two inhibitors of mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake on cytosolic [Ca(2+)] and [Ca(2+)](m) in intact cultured cells. 相似文献

Mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) and dysfunctions play a pivotal role in many patho-physiological and toxicological conditions. The interplay of mitochondrial thiol (mtThiol), MPT, Ca(2+) homeostasis, and resulting dysfunctions still remains controversial despite studies by several research groups. Present study was undertaken to ascertain the correlation between Ca(2+) homeostasis, mtThiol alteration and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in causing MPT leading to mitochondrial dysfunction. mtThiol depletion significantly enhanced Ca(2+) dependent MPT (swelling) and depolarization of mitochondria resulting in release of pro-apoptotic proteins like Cyt c, AIF, and EndoG. mtThiol alteration and Ca(2+) overload caused reduced mitochondrial electron flow, oxidation of pyridine nucleotides (NAD(P)H) and significantly enhanced ROS generation (DHE and DCFH-DA fluorescence). Studies with MPT inhibitor (Cyclosporin A), Ca(2+) uniport blocker (ruthenium red) and Ca(2+) chelator (BAPTA) indicated that mitochondrial dysfunction was more pronounced under dual stress of altered mtThiol and Ca(2+) overload in comparison with single stress of excessive Ca(2+). Transmission electron microscopy confirmed the changes in mitochondrial integrity under stress. Our findings suggest that the Ca(2+) overload itself is not solely responsible for structural and functional impairment of mitochondria. A multi-factorial cross-talk between mtThiol, Ca(2+) and ROS is responsible for mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, minor depletion of mtThiol was found to be an important factor along with Ca(2+) overload in triggering MPT in isolated mitochondria, tilting the balance towards disturbed functionality. 相似文献

A rise in cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration is used as a key activation signal in virtually all animal cells, where it triggers a range of responses including neurotransmitter release, muscle contraction, and cell growth and proliferation [1]. During intracellular Ca(2+) signaling, mitochondria rapidly take up significant amounts of Ca(2+) from the cytosol, and this stimulates energy production, alters the spatial and temporal profile of the intracellular Ca(2+) signal, and triggers cell death [2-10]. Mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake occurs via a ruthenium-red-sensitive uniporter channel found in the inner membrane [11]. In spite of its critical importance, little is known about how the uniporter is regulated. Here, we report that the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter is gated by cytosolic Ca(2+). Ca(2+) uptake into mitochondria is a Ca(2+)-activated process with a requirement for functional calmodulin. However, cytosolic Ca(2+) subsequently inactivates the uniporter, preventing further Ca(2+) uptake. The uptake pathway and the inactivation process have relatively low Ca(2+) affinities of approximately 10-20 microM. However, numerous mitochondria are within 20-100 nm of the endoplasmic reticulum, thereby enabling rapid and efficient transmission of Ca(2+) release into adjacent mitochondria by InsP(3) receptors on the endoplasmic reticulum. Hence, biphasic control of mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake by Ca(2+) provides a novel basis for complex physiological patterns of intracellular Ca(2+) signaling. 相似文献

Uncontrolled release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) contributes to the reperfusion-induced cardiomyocyte injury, e.g. hypercontracture and necrosis. To find out the underlying cellular mechanisms of this phenomenon, we investigated whether the opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pores (MPTP), resulting in ATP depletion and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, may be involved. For this purpose, isolated cardiac myocytes from adult rats were subjected to simulated ischemia and reperfusion. MPTP opening was detected by calcein release and by monitoring the ΔΨ(m). Fura-2 was used to monitor cytosolic [Ca(2+)](i) or mitochondrial calcium [Ca(2+)](m), after quenching the cytosolic compartment with MnCl(2). Mitochondrial ROS [ROS](m) production was detected with MitoSOX Red and mag-fura-2 was used to monitor Mg(2+) concentration, which reflects changes in cellular ATP. Necrosis was determined by propidium iodide staining. Reperfusion led to a calcein release from mitochondria, ΔΨ(m) collapse and disturbance of ATP recovery. Simultaneously, Ca(2+) oscillations occurred, [Ca(2+)](m) and [ROS](m) increased, cells developed hypercontracture and underwent necrosis. Inhibition of the SR-driven Ca(2+) cycling with thapsigargine or ryanodine prevented mitochondrial dysfunction, ROS formation and MPTP opening. Suppression of the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake (Ru360) or MPTP (cyclosporine A) significantly attenuated Ca(2+) cycling, hypercontracture and necrosis. ROS scavengers (2-mercaptopropionyl glycine or N-acetylcysteine) had no effect on these parameters, but reduced [ROS](m). In conclusion, MPTP opening occurs early during reperfusion and is due to the Ca(2+) oscillations originating primarily from the SR and supported by MPTP. The interplay between Ca(2+) cycling and MPTP promotes the reperfusion-induced cardiomyocyte hypercontracture and necrosis. Mitochondrial ROS formation is a result rather than a cause of MPTP opening. 相似文献

Under stress conditions, mitochondria sense metabolic changes, e.g. in pH, cytoplasmic Ca(2+), energy status, and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and respond by induction of the permeability transition pore (PTP) and by releasing cytochrome c, thus initiating the programmed cell death (PCD) cascade in animal cells. In plant cells, the presence of all the components of the cascade has not yet been shown. In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) root mitochondria, the onset of anoxia caused rapid dissipation of the inner membrane potential, initial shrinkage of the mitochondrial matrix and the release of previously accumulated Ca(2+). Ca(2+) uptake by mitochondria was dependent on the presence of inorganic phosphate. Treatment of mitochondria with high micromolar and millimolar Ca(2+) (but not Mg(2+)) concentrations induced high amplitude swelling, indicative of PTP opening. Alterations in mitochondrial volume were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Mitochondrial swelling was not sensitive to cyclosporin A (CsA)-an inhibitor of mammalian PTP. The release of cytochrome c was monitored under lack of oxygen. Anoxia alone failed to induce cytochrome c release from mitochondria. Oxygen deprivation and Ca(2+) ions together caused cytochrome c release in a CsA-insensitive manner. This process correlated positively with Ca(2+) concentration and required Ca(2+) localization in the mitochondrial matrix. Functional characteristics of wheat root mitochondria, such as membrane potential, Ca(2+) transport, swelling, and cytochrome c release under lack of oxygen are discussed in relation to PCD. 相似文献

An age-related Ca(2+) dysregulation and increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may contribute to late-onset neurodegenerative disorders. These alterations are often attributed to impaired mitochondrial function yet few studies have directly examined mitochondria isolated from various regions of the aged brain. The purpose of this study was to examine Ca(2+)-buffering and ROS production in mitochondria isolated from Fischer 344 rats ranging in age from 4 to 25 months. Mitchondria isolated from the cortex of the 25 month rat brain exhibited greater rates of ROS production and mitochondrial swelling in response to increasing Ca(2+) loads as compared to mitochondria isolated from younger (4, 13 month) animals. The increased swelling is indicative of opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore indicating impaired Ca(2+) buffering/cycling in aged animals. These age-related differences were not observed in mitochondria isolated from cerebellum. Together, these results demonstrate region specific, age-related, alterations in mitochondrial responses to Ca(2+). 相似文献

Isolated mitochondria loaded with Ca(2+) and then exposed to Fe(2+) show a transient release of Ca(2+). The magnitude of this response depends on the Ca(2+) loading and the kinetics of the response depends on the concentration of added Fe(2+). We investigated the Fe(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release mechanism by measuring mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake in the presence of Fe(2+). The presence of Fe(2+) inhibits Ca(2+) uptake two times. Since mitochondria can cycle Ca(2+) across their inner membrane, the suppression of Ca(2+) uptake, but not release, results in an elevation of the extramitochondrial Ca(2+), thereby varying the steady state. The transient release of Ca(2+) initially observed from mitochondria appears to occur via the electroneutral 2H(+)/Ca(2+)-exchange mechanism, since it can be markedly decreased by cyclosporin A and does not involve lipid peroxidation. When Fe(2+) accumulation is completed, reuptake of released Ca(2+) into mitochondria resumes. Finally, we propose that Fe(2+) either inhibits Ca(2+) entry at the uniporter or is transported by it into the matrix. 相似文献

Identification of a ryanodine receptor in rat heart mitochondria 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Recent studies have shown that, in a wide variety of cells, mitochondria respond dynamically to physiological changes in cytosolic Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](c)). Mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake occurs via a ruthenium red-sensitive calcium uniporter and a rapid mode of Ca(2+) uptake. Surprisingly, the molecular identity of these Ca(2+) transport proteins is still unknown. Using electron microscopy and Western blotting, we identified a ryanodine receptor in the inner mitochondrial membrane with a molecular mass of approximately 600 kDa in mitochondria isolated from the rat heart. [(3)H]Ryanodine binds to this mitochondrial ryanodine receptor with high affinity. This binding is modulated by Ca(2+) but not caffeine and is inhibited by Mg(2+) and ruthenium red in the assay medium. In the presence of ryanodine, Ca(2+) uptake into isolated heart mitochondria is suppressed. In addition, ryanodine inhibited mitochondrial swelling induced by Ca(2+) overload. This swelling effect was not observed when Ca(2+) was applied to the cytosolic fraction containing sarcoplasmic reticulum. These results are the first to identify a mitochondrial Ca(2+) transport protein that has characteristics similar to the ryanodine receptor. This mitochondrial ryanodine receptor is likely to play an essential role in the dynamic uptake of Ca(2+) into mitochondria during Ca(2+) oscillations. 相似文献

Mitochondria buffer large changes in [Ca(2+)](i)following an excitotoxic glutamate stimulus. Mitochondrial sequestration of [Ca(2+)](i)can beneficially stimulate oxidative metabolism and ATP production. However, Ca(2+)overload may have deleterious effects on mitochondrial function and cell survival, particularly Ca(2+)-dependent production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the mitochondria. We recently demonstrated that the mitochondrial Na(+)-Ca(2+)exchanger in neurons is selectively inhibited by CGP-37157, a benzothiazepine analogue of diltiazem. In the present series of experiments we investigated the effects of CGP-37157 on mitochondrial functions regulated by Ca(2+). Our data showed that 25 microM CGP-37157 quenches DCF fluorescence similar to 100 microM glutamate and this effect was enhanced when the two stimuli were applied together. CGP-37157 did not increase ROS generation and did not alter glutamate or 3mM hydrogen-peroxide-induced increases in ROS as measured by DHE fluorescence. CGP-37157 induces a slight decrease in intracellular pH, much less than that of glutamate. In addition, CGP-37157 does not enhance intracellular acidification induced by glutamate. Although it is possible that CGP-37157 can enhance mitochondrial respiration both by blocking Ca(2+)cycling and by elevating intramitochondrial Ca(2+), we did not observe any changes in ATP levels or toxicity either in the presence or absence of glutamate. Finally, mitochondrial Ca(2+)uptake during an excitotoxic glutamate stimulus was only slightly enhanced by inhibition of mitochondrial Ca(2+)efflux. Thus, although CGP-37157 alters mitochondrial Ca(2+)efflux in neurons, the inhibition of Na(+)-Ca(2+)exchange does not profoundly alter glutamate-mediated changes in mitochondrial function or mitochondrial Ca(2+)content. 相似文献

The surfactin can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Moreover, surfactin can induce cell death in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells through mitochondrial pathway. However, the molecular mechanism involved in this pathway remains to be elucidated. Here, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ca(2+) on mitochondria permeability transition pore (MPTP) activity, and MCF-7 cell apoptosis which induced by surfactin were investigated. It is found that surfactin evoked mitochondrial ROS generation, and the surfactin-induced cell death was prevented by N-acetylcysteine (NAC, an inhibitor of ROS). An increasing cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration was detected in surfactin-induced MCF-7 apoptosis, which was inhibited by 1,2-bis (2-aminophenoxy) ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA-AM, a chelator of calcium). In addition, the relationship between ROS generation and the increase of cytoplasm Ca(2+) was determined. The results showed that surfactin initially induced the ROS formation, leading to the MPTP opening accompanied with the collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ(m)). Then the cytoplasmic Ca(2+) concentration increased in virtue of the changes of mitochondrial permeability, which was prevented by BAPTA-AM. Besides, cytochrome c (cyt c) was released from mitochondria to cytoplasm through the MPTP and activated caspase-9, eventually induced apoptosis. In summary, surfactin has notable anti-tumor effect on MCF-7 cells, however, there was no obvious cytotoxicity on normal cells. 相似文献

In fura-2 loaded isolated mouse pancreatic acinar cells, xanthine oxidase (XOD)-catalyzed reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation caused an increase in the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) by release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores. The ROS-induced Ca(2+) signals showed large variability in shape and time-course and resembled in part Ca(2+) signals in response to physiological secretagogues. ROS-induced Ca(2+) mobilization started at the luminal cell pole and spread towards the basolateral side in a wave manner. ROS-evoked Ca(2+) responses were not inhibited by the phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor U73122 (10 microM). Neither 2-aminoethoxy-diphenylborate (2-APB) (70 microM) nor ryanodine (50 microM) suppressed ROS-evoked Ca(2+) release. ROS still released Ca(2+) when the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase was blocked with thapsigargin (1 microM), or when rotenone (10 microM) was added to release Ca(2+) from mitochondria. Our results suggest that pancreatic acinar cells ROS do not unspecifically affect Ca(2+) homeostasis. ROS primarily affect Ca(2+) stores located in the luminal cell pole, which is also the trigger zone for agonist-induced Ca(2+) signals. Release of Ca(2+) induces Ca(2+) waves carried by Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release and produces thereby global Ca(2+) signals. Under oxidative stress conditions, the increase in [Ca(2+)](i) could be one mechanism contributing to an overstimulation of the cell which could result in cell dysfunction and cell damage. 相似文献

1. Addition of N-ethylmaleimide to rat liver mitochondria respiring with succinate as substrate decreases both the initial rate of Ca(2+) transport and the ability of mitochondria to retain Ca(2+). As a result, Ca(2+) begins to leave the mitochondria soon after it has entered. Half-maximal effects occur at an N-ethylmaleimide concentration of about 100nmol/mg of protein. 2. The efflux of Ca(2+) induced by N-ethylmaleimide is not prevented by Mg(2+) or by Ruthenium Red at concentrations known to prevent Ca(2+) efflux when exogenous phosphate also is present. Swelling of mitochondria does not accompany N-ethylmaleimide-induced Ca(2+) efflux. 3. Addition of Ca(2+) to rat liver mitochondria in the presence of N-ethylmaleimide produces an immediate decrease in DeltaE (membrane potential), which decreases further to only a slight extent over the next 8min. Concomitant with this is an immediate increase and then levelling off of the -59DeltapH (transmembrane pH gradient). 4. Preincubation of rat liver mitochondria with p-chloromercuribenzenesulphonate, which by contrast with N-ethylmaleimide is unable to penetrate the inner mitochondrial membrane, also prevents Ca(2+) retention. The DeltaE and -59DeltapH respond to Ca(2+) addition in a manner similar to that which occurs when N-ethylmaleimide is present. Subsequent addition of mercaptoethanol produces an immediate increase in both DeltaE and -59DeltapH. At the same time Ca(2+) is rapidly accumulated by the organelles. 5. The above data are interpreted as indicating that under the conditions of Ca(2+) efflux seen here, the mitochondria retain their functional integrity. This contrasts with the uncoupling effect of Ca(2+) seen in the presence of P(i), which generally leads to a loss of mitochondrial integrity. We suggest that a unique mechanism of Ca(2+) cycling is able to take place when mitochondria have been treated with N-ethylmaleimide. 相似文献
