This study examined Ca2+ handling mechanisms involved in cardioprotection induced by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 10% inspired O2 continuously for 6 h daily from 3, 7, and 14 days. In isolated perfused hearts subjected to I/R, CIH-induced cardioprotection was most significant in the 7-day group with less infarct size and lactate dehydrogenase release, compared with the normoxic group. The I/R-induced alterations in diastolic Ca2+ level, amplitude, time-to-peak, and the decay time of both electrically and caffeine-induced Ca2+ transients measured by spectrofluorometry in isolated ventricular myocytes of the 7-day CIH group were less than that of the normoxic group, suggesting an involvement of altered Ca2+ handling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and sarcolemma. We further determined the protein expression and activity of 45Ca2+ flux of SR-Ca2+-ATPase, ryanodine receptor (RyR) and sarcolemmal Na+/Ca2+ exchange (NCX) in ventricular myocytes from the CIH and normoxic groups before and during I/R. There were no changes in expression levels of the Ca2+-handling proteins but significant increases in the RyR and NCX activities were remarkable during I/R in the CIH but not the normoxic group. The augmented RyR and NCX activities were abolished, respectively, by PKA inhibitor (0.5 µM KT5720 or 0.5 µM PKI14-22) and PKC inhibitor (5 µM chelerythrine chloride or 0.2 µM calphostin C) but not by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II inhibitor KN-93 (1 µM). Thus, CIH confers cardioprotection against I/R injury in rat cardiomyocytes by altered Ca2+ handling with augmented RyR and NCX activities via protein kinase activation. cardioprotection; intracellular calcium  相似文献

Inhibition of the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCLX) by CGP37157 is protective in models of neuronal injury that involve disruption of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. However, the Ca2+ signaling pathways and stores underlying neuroprotection by that inhibitor are not well defined. In the present study, we analyzed how intracellular Ca2+ levels are modulated by CGP37157 (10 μM) during NMDA insults in primary cultures of rat cortical neurons. We initially assessed the presence of NCLX in mitochondria of cultured neurons by immunolabeling, and subsequently, we analyzed the effects of CGP37157 on neuronal Ca2+ homeostasis using cameleon-based mitochondrial Ca2+ and cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) live imaging. We observed that NCLX-driven mitochondrial Ca2+ exchange occurs in cortical neurons under basal conditions as CGP37157 induced a decrease in [Ca2]i concomitant with a Ca2+ accumulation inside the mitochondria. In turn, CGP37157 also inhibited mitochondrial Ca2+ efflux after the stimulation of acetylcholine receptors. In contrast, CGP37157 strongly prevented depolarization-induced [Ca2+]i increase by blocking voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs), whereas it did not induce depletion of ER Ca2+ stores. Moreover, mitochondrial Ca2+ overload was reduced as a consequence of diminished Ca2+ entry through VGCCs. The decrease in cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca2+ overload by CGP37157 resulted in a reduction of excitotoxic mitochondrial damage, characterized here by a reduction in mitochondrial membrane depolarization, oxidative stress and calpain activation. In summary, our results provide evidence that during excitotoxicity CGP37157 modulates cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca2+ dynamics that leads to attenuation of NMDA-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal cell death by blocking VGCCs.  相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that intermittent high-altitude (IHA) hypoxia significantly attenuates ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury-induced excessive increase in resting intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i). Because the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) play crucial roles in regulating [Ca2+]i and both are dysfunctional during I/R, we tested the hypothesis that IHA hypoxia may prevent I/R-induced Ca2+ overload by maintaining Ca2+ homeostasis via SR and NCX mechanisms. We thus determined the dynamics of Ca2+ transients and cell shortening during preischemia and I/R injury in ventricular cardiomyocytes from normoxic and IHA hypoxic rats. IHA hypoxia did not affect the preischemic dynamics of Ca2+ transients and cell shortening, but it significantly suppressed the I/R-induced increase in resting [Ca2+]i levels and attenuated the depression of the Ca2+ transients and cell shortening during reperfusion. Moreover, IHA hypoxia significantly attenuated I/R-induced depression of the protein contents of SR Ca2+ release channels and/or ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and SR Ca2+ pump ATPase (SERCA2) and SR Ca2+ release and uptake. In addition, a delayed decay rate time constant of Ca2+ transients and cell shortening of Ca2+ transients observed during ischemia was accompanied by markedly inhibited NCX currents, which were prevented by IHA hypoxia. These findings indicate that IHA hypoxia may preserve Ca2+ homeostasis and contraction by preserving RyRs and SERCA2 proteins as well as NCX activity during I/R. intracellular Ca2+ concentration; Ca2+ transients; Ca2+ transporters; myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity  相似文献

Recently, AGEPC (1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) was found to initiate contraction of ileal smooth muscle strips and to enhance Na+/Ca2+ exchange in ileal plasmalemmal vesicles. In the present study, the effects of the smooth muscle relaxant, isoproterenol, on Na+/Ca2+ exchange in rat ileal plasmalemmal vesicles was examined. In this preparation, Na+/Ca2+ exchange was stimulated 131 +/- 8% and 264 +/- 19% by addition of 50 nM and 100 nM AGEPC, respectively. Isoproterenol, a beta-adrenergic agonist, inhibited AGEPC stimulation of Na+/Ca2+ exchange in a dose- and time-dependent manner but had no effect on basal rates of Na+/Ca2+ antiport. At 1 microM, isoproterenol inhibited 86% of the Na+/Ca2+ exchange stimulated by 50 nM AGEPC. Vesicular cAMP levels were increased over 100% following the addition of 1 microM isoproterenol for 30 s. Inhibition of AGEPC-stimulated vesicular Na+/Ca2+ exchange and elevation of vesicular cAMP levels by isoproterenol was prevented by the beta-receptor antagonist propranolol (5 microM), demonstrating that these effects of isoproterenol were mediated by interaction with vesicular beta-adrenergic receptors. Additional studies with washed rabbit platelets demonstrated that isoproterenol inhibited AGEPC-induced aggregation and serotonin release. These effects of isoproterenol were dose- and time-dependent and were antagonized by propranolol. Isoproterenol had no effect on thrombin-induced aggregation and did not change appreciably platelet cAMP levels. Moreover, dibutyryl cAMP could not mimic the effect of isoproterenol to inhibit an AGEPC-induced aggregation. On a molar basis, the inhibitory effects of isoproterenol toward AGEPC action were greater in the ileal preparation than in the platelets. It is suggested that beta-adrenergic agonists may modulate AGEPC-induced ileal Na+/Ca2+ exchange and AGEPC-induced platelet aggregation through cAMP-dependent and-independent mechanisms, respectively.  相似文献

Previous studies have shown that overexpression of phospholemman (PLM) affected contractile function and Ca(2+) homeostasis in adult rat myocytes. We tested the hypothesis that PLM modulated Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1) activity. PLM was overexpressed in adult rat myocytes by adenovirus-mediated gene transfer. After 72 h, the half-time of relaxation from caffeine-induced contracture, an estimate of forward NCX1 activity, was prolonged 1.8-fold (P < 0.003) in myocytes overexpressing PLM compared with control myocytes overexpressing green fluorescent protein alone. Reverse NCX1 current (3 Na(+) out:1 Ca(2+) in) was significantly (P < 0.0001) lower in PLM myocytes, especially at more positive voltages. Immunofluorescence demonstrated colocalization of PLM and NCX1 to the plasma membrane and t-tubules. Resting membrane potential, action potential amplitude and duration, myocyte size, and NCX1 and calsequestrin protein levels were not affected by PLM overexpression. At 5 mM extracellular [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](o)), the depressed contraction amplitudes in PLM myocytes were increased towards normal by cooverexpression with NCX1. At 0.6 mM [Ca(2+)](o), the supranormal contraction amplitudes in PLM myocytes were reduced by cooverexpression with NCX1. We conclude that PLM modulated myocyte contractility partly by inhibiting Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange.  相似文献

Coated microvesicles isolated from bovine neurohypophyses could be loaded with Ca2+ in two different ways, either by incubation in the presence of ATP or by imposition of an outwardly directed Na+ gradient. Na+, but not K+, was able to release Ca2+ accumulated by the coated microvesicles. These results suggest the existence of an ATP-dependent Ca2+-transport system as well as of a Na+/Ca2+ carrier in the membrane of coated microvesicles similar to that present in the membranes of secretory vesicles from the neurohypophysis. A kinetic analysis of transport indicates that the apparent Km for free Ca2+ of the ATP-dependent uptake was 0.8 microM. The average Vmax. was 2 nmol of Ca2+/5 min per mg of protein. The total capacity of microvesicles for Ca2+ uptake was 3.7 nmol/mg of protein. Both nifedipine (10 microM) and NH4Cl (50 mM) inhibited Ca2+ uptake. The ATPase activity in purified coated-microvesicles fractions from brain and neurohypophysis was characterized. Micromolar concentrations of Ca2+ in the presence of millimolar concentrations of Mg2+ did not change enzyme activity. Ionophores increasing the proton permeability across membranes activated the ATPase activity in preparations of coated microvesicles from brain as well as from the neurohypophysis. Thus the enzyme exhibits properties of a proton-transporting ATPase. This enzyme seems to be linked to the ion accumulation by coated microvesicles, although the precise coupling of the proton transport to Ca2+ and Na+ fluxes remains to be determined.  相似文献

SEA0400 is a potent and selective Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) inhibitor. We evaluated the inhibitory effects of SEA0400 on Na(+)(i)-dependent (45)Ca(2+) uptake and whole-cell Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange currents in NCX-transfected fibroblasts. SEA0400 preferentially inhibited (45)Ca(2+) uptake by NCX1 compared with inhibitions by NCX2, NCX3, and NCKX2. SEA0400 also selectively blocked outward exchange currents from NCX1 transfectants. We searched for regions that may form the SEA0400 receptor in the NCX1 molecule by NCX1/NCX3 chimeric analysis. The results suggest that the first intracellular loop and the fifth transmembrane segment are mostly responsible for the differential drug responses between NCX1 and NCX3. Further site-directed mutagenesis revealed that multiple mutations at Phe-213 markedly reduced sensitivity to SEA0400 without affecting that to KB-R7943. We also found that Gly-833-to-Cys mutation (within the alpha-2 repeat) greatly reduced the inhibition by SEA0400, but unexpectedly the NCX1 chimera with an alpha-2 repeat from NCKX2 possessed normal drug sensitivity. In addition, exchangers with mutated exchanger inhibitory peptide regions, which display either undetectable or accelerated Na(+)-dependent inactivation, had a markedly reduced sensitivity or hypersensitivity to SEA0400, respectively. To verify the efficacy of the NCX inhibitor, we examined the renoprotective effect of SEA0400 in a hypoxic injury model using porcine renal tubular cells. SEA0400 protected against hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced cell damage in tubular cells expressing wild-type NCX1 but not in cells expressing SEA0400-insensitive mutants. These results suggest that Phe-213, Gly-833, and residues that eliminate Na(+)-dependent inactivation are critical determinants for the inhibition by SEA0400, and their mutants are very useful for checking the pharmacological importance of NCX inhibition by SEA0400.  相似文献

Ethanol, at low concentrations, specifically stimulates the Na(+)-dependent Ca2(+)-efflux in brain mitochondria. In addition, at higher concentrations, ethanol inhibits the Na(+)-independent Ca2(+)-efflux. The electrogenic Ca(+)-uptake system is not affected by ethanol. The specific stimulation of Na+/Ca2+ exchange reaches a maximum of 60% stimulation, with half-maximal stimulation at 130 mM ethanol. The inhibition of the Na(+)-independent efflux is proportional to the ethanol concentration, becoming significant only above 200 mM, with 50% inhibition at 0.5 M. The inhibition of the Na(+)-independent efflux is, in large part, due to an inhibition of the activation of the Cyclosporin-sensitive pore. Long-term ethanol-feeding had no effect on the Ca2+ transport systems and their sensitivity to acute ethanol treatment. It is suggested that the stimulation of the Na(+)-dependent Ca2(+)-efflux, which is the dominant Ca2+ efflux pathway in brain mitochondria, contributes to the intoxicating effects of ethanol.  相似文献

The Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) is the primary Ca2+ extrusion mechanism in cardiomyocytes. To further investigate the role of NCX in excitation-contraction coupling and Ca2+ homeostasis, we created murine models with altered expression levels of NCX. Homozygous overexpression of NCX resulted in mild cardiac hypertrophy. Decline of the Ca2+ transient and relaxation of contraction were increased and the reverse mode of NCX was augmented. Overexpression also led to a higher susceptibility to ischemia-reperfusion injury and to a greater ability of NCX to trigger Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release. Furthermore, an increase in peak L-type Ca2+ current was observed suggesting a direct influence of NCX on L-type Ca2+ current. Whereas global knockout of NCX led to prenatal death, a recently generated cardiac-specific NCX knockout mouse was viable with surprisingly normal contractile properties. Expression levels of other Ca2+-handling proteins were not altered. Ca2+ influx in these animals is limited by a decrease of peak L-type Ca2+ current. An alternative Ca2+ efflux mechanism, presumably the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase, is sufficient to maintain Ca2+-homeostasis in the NCX knockout mice.  相似文献

The Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) is an ion transporter that exchanges Na+ and Ca2+ in either Ca2+ efflux or Ca2+ influx mode, depending on the ion gradients across the plasma membrane and the membrane potential. In heart, smooth muscle cells, neurons, and nephron cells, the NCX is thought to play an important role in the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Recently, a novel selective inhibitor (KB-R7943 and SEA0400) of the Ca2+ influx mode of the NCX has been developed. NCX inhibitor is expected to be a pharmaceutical agent that offers effective protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury in several organs such as heart and kidney. Here, we summarize pharmacological profiles of KB-R7943 and SEA0400, the molecular mechanism of its action, and its future prospect as a novel pharmaceutical agent.  相似文献

This study investigated the role of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) in regulating cytosolic intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) during anoxia/reoxygenation in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. The hypothesis that the NCX is the predominant mechanism mediating [Ca2+]i overload in this model was tested through inhibition of NCX expression by an antisense oligonucleotide. Immunocytochemistry revealed that this antisense oligonucleotide, directed at the area around the start site of the guinea pig NCX1, specifically reduced NCX expression in cultured adult myocytes by 90 +/- 4%. Antisense treatment inhibited evoked NCX activity by 94 +/- 3% and decreased the rise in [Ca2+]i during anoxia/reoxygenation by 95 +/- 3%. These data suggest that NCX is the predominant mechanism mediating Ca2+ overload during anoxia/reoxygenation in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes.  相似文献

Summary Basolateral plasma membranes from rat kidney cortex have been purified 40-fold by a combination of differential centrifugation, centrifugation in a discontinuous sucrose gradient followed by centrifugation in 8% percoll. The ratio of leaky membrane vesicles (L) versus right-side-out (RO) and inside-out (IO) resealed vesicles appeared to be LROIO=431. High-affinity Ca2+-ATPase, ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport and Na+/Ca2+ exchange have been studied with special emphasis on the relative transport capacities of the two Ca2+ transport systems. The kinetic parameters of Ca2+-ATPase activity in digitonin-treated membranes are:K m =0.11 m Ca2+ andV max=81±4 nmol Pi/min·mg protein at 37°C. ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport amounts to 4.3±0.2 and 7.4±0.3 nmol Ca2+/min·mg protein at 25 and 37°C, respectively, with an affinity for Ca2+ of 0.13 and 0.07 m at 25 and 37°C. After correction for the percentage of IO-resealed vesicles involved in ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport, a stoichiometry of 0.7 mol Ca2+ transported per mol ATP is found for the Ca2+-ATPase. In the presence of 75mm Na+ in the incubation medium ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake is inhibited 22%. When Na+ is present at 5mm an extra Ca2+ accumulation is observed which amounts to 15% of the ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport rate. This extra Ca2+ accumulation induced by low Na+ is fully inhibited by preincubation of the vesicles with 1mm ouabain, which indicates that (Na+–K+)-ATPase generates a Na+ gradient favorable for Ca2+ accumulation via the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. In the absence of ATP, a Na+ gradient-dependent Ca2+ uptake is measured which rate amounts to 5% of the ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport capacity. The Na+ gradient-dependent Ca2+ uptake is abolished by the ionophore monensin but not influenced by the presence of valinomycin. The affinity of the Na+/Ca2+ exchange system for Ca2+ is between 0.1 and 0.2 m Ca2+, in the presence as well as in the absence of ATP. This affinity is surprisingly close to the affinity measured for the ATP-dependent Ca2+ pump. Based on these observations it is concluded that in isolated basolateral membranes from rat kidney cortex the Ca2+-ATPase system exceeds the capacity of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger four- to fivefold and it is therefore unlikely that the latter system plays a primary role in the Ca2+ homeostasis of rat kidney cortex cells.  相似文献

Summary The relative contributions of the Na+/Ca2+ exchange and the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump to active Ca2+ efflux from stimulated rat pancreatic acini were studied. Na+ gradients across the plasma membrane were manipulated by loading the cells with Na+ or suspending the cells in Na+-free media. The rates of Ca2+ efflux were estimated from measurements of [Ca2+] i using the Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dye Fura 2 and45Ca efflux. During the first 3 min of cell stimulation, the pattern of Ca2+ efflux is described by a single exponential function under control, Na+-loaded, and Na+-depleted conditions. Manipulation of Na+ gradients had no effect on the hormone-induced increase in [Ca2+] i . The results indicate that Ca2+ efflux from stimulated pancreatic acinar cells is mediated by the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump. The effects of several cations, which were used to substitute for Na+, on cellular activity were also studied. Choline+ and tetramethylammonium+ (TMA+) released Ca2+ from intracellular stores of pancreatic acinar, gastric parietal and peptic cells. These cations also stimulated enzyme and acid secretion from the cells. All effects of these cations were blocked by atropine. Measurements of cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-OP)-stimulated amylase release from pancreatic acini, suspended in Na+, TMA+, choline+, or N-methyl-d-glucamine+ (NMG+) media containing atropine, were used to evaluate the effect of the cations on cellular function. NMG+, choline+, and TMA+ inhibited amylase release by 55, 40 and 14%, respectively. NMG+ also increased the Ca2+ permeability of the plasma membrane. Thus, to study Na+ dependency of cellular function, TMA+ is the preferred cation to substitute for Na+. The stimulatory effect of TMA+ can be blocked by atropine.  相似文献
