谷氨酸促进大鼠海马神经元的内钙升高 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
谷氨酸能影响大鼠海马神经元胞内钙信号的变化,进而影响海马神经元神经冲动的发放和学习记忆过程。运用荧光测钙技术实时监测了大鼠海马神经元内钙信号的动态变化,同时分析了谷氨酸对其胞内钙信号的影响。试验表明:谷氨酸能够显著提高胞内游离钙离子的浓度;细胞外钙离子的存在、谷氨酸刺激时间及刺激频率的增加都能引起胞内钙信号不同程度的升高;但谷氨酸的过度刺激会引起钙离子浓度的超负荷,从而导致神经元结构和功能的损坏。 相似文献

It was previously shown that in rat thyroid PC-Cl3 cell line, a purinergic P2Y receptor increases the concentration of free cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) via phospholipase C activation. We here studied whether in a transformed cell line (PC-E1Araf) derived from parental PC-Cl3 cells, ATP is still able to transduce the [Ca(2+)](i)-based intracellular signal.We demonstrate the expression of mRNA for P2Y2 in both PC-Cl3 and PC-E1Araf cells; mRNAs for P2Y1, P2Y4, P2Y6 and P2Y11 were absent. In both cell lines activation of P2Y2 receptor provokes a transient increase in [Ca(2+)](i) followed by a lower sustained phase persisting for over 5min in PC-Cl3 and only 1.5 min in PC-E1Araf cells. In both cell lines the [Ca(2+)](i) reached a plateau level significantly higher than the basal [Ca(2+)](i) level persisting for over 10 min. Removal of extracellular Ca(2+) reduced the initial transient response to ATP in PC-Cl3, but not in PC-E1Araf cells, and completely abolished the plateau phase in both cell lines.In the presence of extracellular Ca(2+) thapsigargin (TG) caused a rise in [Ca(2+)](i) significantly higher in PC-Cl3 than transformed PC-E1Araf cells, while in Ca(2+)-free medium the effect of TG was similar in both cell lines. The capacitative Ca(2+)-entry in PC-Cl3 resulted significantly higher than in PC-E1Araf cells.Further studies were performed in order to investigate whether the different effects of ATP on [Ca(2+)](i) was due to variation in divalent cation plasma membrane permeability. PC-E1Araf cells showed a much lower permeability to Ca(2+), Ba(2+), Sr(2+), Mn(2+), and Co(2+) that may be responsible for the differences in purinergic Ca(2+) signaling pathway with respect to parental PC-Cl3 cells. 相似文献

Oocyte is arrested at metaphase of the second meiosis until fertilization switching on [Ca2+]i oscillations. Oocyte activation inefficiency is the most challenging problem for failed fertilization and embryonic development. Mitochondrial function and intracellular [Ca2+]i oscillations are two critical factors for the oocyte’s developmental potential. We aimed to understand the possible correlation between mitochondrial function and [Ca2+]i oscillations in oocytes. To this end, mitochondrial uncoupler CCCP which damages mitochondrial function and two small molecule mitochondrial agonists, L-carnitine (LC) and BGP-15, were used to examine the regulation of [Ca2+]i by mitochondrial functions. With increasing CCCP concentrations, [Ca2+]i oscillations were gradually diminished and high concentrations of CCCP led to oocyte death. LC enhanced mitochondrial membrane potential and [Ca2+]i oscillations and even improved the damage induced by CCCP, however, BGP-15 had no beneficial effect on oocyte activation. We have found that mitochondrial function plays a vital role in the generation of [Ca2+]i oscillations in oocytes, and thus mitochondria may interact with the ER to generate [Ca2+]i oscillations during oocyte activation. Improvement of mitochondrial functions with small molecules can be expected to improve oocyte activation and embryonic development in infertile patients without invasive micromanipulation. 相似文献

The insulin-stimulated cation channel previously identified in patch-clamped muscle preparations is here shown to be responsible for bulk Na+ entry into the cell. The mainly Na+ current of the channel was shown to be accompanied by an inhibitory Ca2+ component responsible for oscillations. Here, using quantitative fluorescence imaging of Fura-2- and SBFI-loaded soleus muscle, we measure changes in [Na+]i and [Ca2+]i related to channel function. Insulin increased [Na+]i and [Ca+]i in a transient spike of < 1-min duration. There was a momentary dip in [Na+]i related to inhibition of the channel by the Ca2+ spike, and changes in external Ca2+ were shown to alter [Na+]i via the cation channel, all effects being blocked by the specific channel inhibitor mu-conotoxin, but not by tetrodotoxin. The [Ca2+]i spike could also be induced by 8-bromo cyclic-guanosine 5'-monophosphate, an analogue of the channel-activator cyclic-guanosine 5'-monophosphate (cGMP). In addition it was noted that insulin reduced the [Ca2+]i rise upon subsequent muscle depolarization by a factor of 3.5. Insulin could be substituted with phorbol ester for the same effect and HA1004, a protein kinase inhibitor, blocked the reduction. 相似文献

Ghrelin, an orexigenic hormone, directly activates neuropeptide (NPY) neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), and thereby stimulates food intake. The hypothalamic level of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an intracellular energy sensor, is activated by peripheral and central administration of ghrelin. We examined whether ghrelin regulates AMPK activity in NPY neurons of the ARC. Single neurons were isolated from the ARC and cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured by fura-2 microfluorometry, followed by immunocytochemical identification of NPY, phospho-AMPK, and phospho-acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). Ghrelin and AICAR, an AMPK activator, increased [Ca2+]i in neurons isolated from the ARC. The ghrelin-responsive neurons highly overlapped with AICAR-responsive neurons. The neurons that responded to both ghrelin and AICAR were primarily NPY-immunoreactive neurons. Treatment with ghrelin increased phosphorylation of AMPK and ACC. An AMPK inhibitor, compound C, suppressed ghrelin-induced [Ca2+]i increases. These results demonstrate that ghrelin increases [Ca2+]i via AMPK-mediated signaling in the ARC NPY neurons. 相似文献

Pancreatic islets of Langerhans display complex intracellular calcium changes in response to glucose that include fast (seconds), slow ( approximately 5 min), and mixed fast/slow oscillations; the slow and mixed oscillations are likely responsible for the pulses of plasma insulin observed in vivo. To better understand the mechanisms underlying these diverse patterns, we systematically analyzed the effects of glucose on period, amplitude, and plateau fraction (the fraction of time spent in the active phase) of the various regimes of calcium oscillations. We found that in both fast and slow islets, increasing glucose had limited effects on amplitude and period, but increased plateau fraction. In some islets, however, glucose caused a major shift in the amplitude and period of oscillations, which we attribute to a conversion between ionic and glycolytic modes (i.e., regime change). Raising glucose increased the plateau fraction equally in fast, slow, and regime-changing islets. A mathematical model of the pancreatic islet consisting of an ionic subsystem interacting with a slower metabolic oscillatory subsystem can account for these complex islet calcium oscillations by modifying the relative contributions of oscillatory metabolism and oscillatory ionic mechanisms to electrical activity, with coupling occurring via K(ATP) channels. 相似文献

A rise in cytosolic free Ca2+ is the immediate trigger for contraction in heart muscle. In the present study, we investigated changes of intracellular Ca2+ increased by potassium chloride (KCl) and phenylephrine (PE) under hyperglycemia in rat heart myoblast H9c2 cells (BCRC 60096), respectively. We employed the fluorescent Ca2+-indicator, fura-2, and digital imaging microscopy to measure [Ca2+]i in H9c2 cells. Cells were cultured in hyperglycemic (30 mM glucose) Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium. The variation of [Ca2+]i induced by KCI and PE in hyperglycemia was examined, respectively. Moreover, tiron, one of the antioxidants, was pretreated in hyperglycemia-treated H9c2 cells to measure the role of free radicals in the changes of intracellular [Ca2+]i. An influx in intracellular Ca2+ induced by KCl or PE was observed in a dose-dependent manner and reached the highest concentration of 434 +/- 42.3 nM and 443 +/- 42.8 nM (n = 24 cells), respectively. Moreover, this increase of intracellular [Ca2+]i induced by KCl or PE was markedly reduced in cells exposed to hyperglycemia (434 +/- 42.3 vs. 1.26 +/- 0.21 nM and 443 +/- 42.8 vs. 2.54 +/- 0.25 nM, n = 24 cells, P < 0.001, respectively). Similar changes were not observed in cells received mannitol showing same osmolarity. However, the reduction of intracellular [Ca2+]i induced by hyperglycemia was abolished significantly in the presence of tiron. Our results suggest that an increase of intracellular Ca2+ by KCl or PE in heart cell was markedly reduced by hyperglycemic treatment; mediation of free radicals in this action can be considered because it was reversed in the presence of tiron. 相似文献

We previously found that Endothelin-1(1-31) (ET-1(1-31)) exhibited a pro-arrhythmogenic effect in isolated rat hearts. In this study, we further investigated the effects of ET-1(1-31) on a cell viability and observed [Ca(2+)](i) in cultured cardiomyocytes. Cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were treated with 0.1, 1, and 10 nM ET-1(1-31) for 24h in the presence or absence of ET(A) receptor antagonist (BQ(123)) or phosphoramidon, a NEP/ECE inhibitor. Cell injury was evaluated by supernatant lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay. [Ca(2+)](i) was measured with Fluo-3/AM under a laser confocal microscope. 1) ET-1(1-31) dose-dependently increased LDH release and decreased cell viability. 2) LDH and MDA levels were significantly elevated and SOD activity decreased after administration of 1 nM ET-1(1-31) for 24h, and these changes were markedly attenuated by 1 uM BQ(123). 3) Exposure to 10 nM ET 1(1-31) caused a continuous increase in [Ca(2+)](i) to cultured beating cardiomyocytes and termination of [Ca(2+)](i) transient within 6 min, and this change was reversed by 1 uM BQ(123) and attenuated by 0.5 mM phosphoramidon. These results suggest that ET-1(1-31) could cause cell injury, and that the effect of ET-1(1-31) on [Ca(2+)](i) transients is mainly mediated by ET(A) receptor and partially attributed to the conversion of ET-1(1-31) to ET-1(1-21). 相似文献

Ethanol-induced increases in [Ca2+]i and inositol (1,4,5) triphosphate in rat hepatocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Rat hepatocytes were studied for [Ca2+]i with Fura-2 at the single cell level using a microfluorometer-imaging system which showed that both the number of cells elevating [Ca2+]i and the magnitude of [Ca2+]i increase were directly dependent upon ethanol concentration between 50 mM and 1 M. Peak [Ca2+]i increases ranged from 27 nM with 50 mM ethanol to 57 nM after 1 M ethanol. Ethanol appeared to initiate calcium release from intracellular stores and caused a dose dependent production of inositol(1,4,5) triphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) in hepatocytes. Low concentrations of ethanol (50-100 mM) did not significantly raise Ins(1,4,5)P3 although 300 mM-1 M increased Ins(1,4,5)P3 comparable to that found with vasopressin (5 nM). In summary, physiologic amounts of ethanol raise [Ca2+]i in rat hepatocytes, although at lower levels (50-100 mM) the changes may or may not be related to an Ins(1,4,5)P3 pathway. 相似文献
