Enhanced excitation-coupled calcium entry in myotubes is associated with expression of RyR1 malignant hyperthermia mutations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Myotubes expressing wild type RyR1 (WT) or RyR1 with one of three malignant hyperthermia mutations R615C, R2163C, and T4826I (MH) were exposed sequentially to 60 mm KCl in Ca(2+)-replete and Ca(2+)-free external buffers (Ca+ and Ca-, respectively) with 3 min of rest between exposures. Although the maximal peak amplitude of the Ca(2+) transients during K(+) depolarization was similar for WT and MH in both external buffers, the rate of decay of the sustained phase of the transient during K(+) depolarization (decay rate) in Ca+ was 50% slower for MH. This difference was eliminated in Ca-, and the relative decay rates were faster for both genotypes than in Ca+. The integrated Ca(2+) transient in Ca-compared with Ca+ was reduced by 50-60% for MH and 20% for WT. The decay rate was not affected by [K(+)] x [Cl(-)] product or NiCl(2) (2 mm) supplementation of Ca-. The addition of La(2+) (0.1 mm), or SKF 96365 (20 microm) to Ca+ significantly accelerated decay rates for both WT and MH, but their effect was significantly greater in MH. Nifedipine (1 microm) had no effect, suggesting that the mechanism for this difference was not a reduction in L-type Ca(2+) channel Ca(2+) current. These data strongly suggest: 1) the decay rate in skeletal myotubes is related in part to Ca(2+) entry through the ECCE channel; 2) the MH mutations enhance ECCE compared with wild type; and 3) the increased Ca(2+) entry might play a significant role in the pathophysiology of MH. 相似文献

Influence of polyhydroxysteroids on [Ca(2+)](i) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Recently, we have shown that two biologically active, disulfated polyhydroxysteroids from the Pacific brittle star Ophiopholis aculeata stimulate Ca(2+) influx into different cell types. In the present study, 45Ca(2+) and two fluorescent calcium probes, quin-2/AM and fura-2/AM, were employed to investigate the course and amplitude of calcium signals induced in different mouse cells using an radio-isotope, spectrofluorimetry, and microcytofluorimetry techniques. The cytotoxic and hemolytic effects were not observed for both steroids at the wide range of concentrations. Steroids did not influence [3H]-uridine incorporation in a variety of cells. The investigated steroids stimulated a rapid increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) content in Ehrlich mouse carcinoma cells, mouse spleen lymphocytes, and mouse peritoneal macrophages in the concentration range 1-100 microg/ml on a dose-dependent basis. Blockers of L-type calcium channels, such as verapamil, diltiazem, nifedipine (1 x 10(-7)M), and 1mM EGTA, inhibited this process and reduced the response of cells to steroid application. The stimulatory effect of steroids on human fibroblast proliferation and mouse macrophage lysosome activity was observed also. It is suggested that the investigated compounds may act as Ca(2+)-agonists and increase Ca(2+)-transport across cell membranes. 相似文献

Regulation of capacitative Ca(2+) entry was studied in two different multidrug resistance (MDR) protein (MRP1) overexpressing cell lines, HT29(col) and GLC4/ADR. MRP1 overexpression was accompanied by a decreased response to thapsigargin. Moreover, inhibition of capacitative Ca(2+) entry by D, L-threo-1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (PDMP) was abolished in MRP1 overexpressing cells. Both PDMP and the MRP1 inhibitor MK571 greatly reduced InsP(3)-mediated (45)Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores in HT29 cells. Again, these effects were virtually abolished in HT29(col) cells. Our results point to a modulatory role of MRP1 on intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) homeostasis which may contribute to the MDR phenotype. 相似文献

In the lung, chronic hypoxia (CH) causes pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell (PASMC) depolarization, elevated endothelin-1 (ET-1), and vasoconstriction. We determined whether, during CH, depolarization-driven activation of L-type Ca(2+) channels contributes to 1) maintenance of resting intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), 2) increased [Ca(2+)](i) in response to ET-1 (10(-8) M), and 3) ET-1-induced contraction. Using indo 1 microfluorescence, we determined that resting [Ca(2+)](i) in PASMCs from intrapulmonary arteries of rats exposed to 10% O(2) for 21 days was 293.9 +/- 25.2 nM (vs. 153.6 +/- 28.7 nM in normoxia). Resting [Ca(2+)](i) was decreased after extracellular Ca(2+) removal but not with nifedipine (10(-6) M), an L-type Ca(2+) channel antagonist. After CH, the ET-1-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was reduced and was abolished after extracellular Ca(2+) removal or nifedipine. Removal of extracellular Ca(2+) reduced ET-1-induced tension; however, nifedipine had only a slight effect. These data indicate that maintenance of resting [Ca(2+)](i) in PASMCs from chronically hypoxic rats does not require activation of L-type Ca(2+) channels and suggest that ET-1-induced contraction occurs by a mechanism primarily independent of changes in [Ca(2+)](i). 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the tolerance of failing myocardium from postinfarction rats to simulated ischemia. Myocardial infarction (MI) was induced by ligation of the left coronary artery in male Wistar rats. Isometric force and free intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) were measured in isolated left ventricular papillary muscles from sham-operated and post-MI animals 6 wk after surgery. Ischemia was simulated by using fluorocarbon immersion with hypoxia. Results showed that mechanical performance was depressed during the period of hypoxia in physiological salt solution (44 +/- 7% of baseline in sham vs. 30 +/- 6% of baseline in MI, P < 0.05) or ischemia (16 +/- 2% of baseline in sham vs. 9 +/- 1% of baseline in MI, P < 0.01) accompanied by no corresponding decrease of peak [Ca(2+)](i) (hypoxia: 51 +/- 8% of baseline in sham vs. 46 +/- 7% of baseline in MI, P = NS; ischemia: 47 +/- 5% of baseline in sham, 39 +/- 7% of baseline in MI, P = NS). After reoxygenation, [Ca(2+)](i) rapidly returned to near preischemic basal levels, whereas developed tension in fluorocarbon remained significantly lower. This dissociation between peak [Ca(2+)](i) and isometric contractility was more pronounced in the failing myocardium from postinfarction rats. In conclusion, more severe impairment of [Ca(2+)](i) homeostasis in the failing myocardium from postinfarction rats increases susceptibility to ischemia-reperfusion injury. 相似文献

cADP ribose (cADPR)-induced intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) responses were assessed in acutely dissociated adult rat ventricular myocytes using real-time confocal microscopy. In quiescent single myocytes, injection of cADPR (0.1-10 microM) induced sustained, concentration-dependent [Ca(2+)](i) responses ranging from 50 to 500 nM, which were completely inhibited by 20 microM 8-amino-cADPR, a specific blocker of the cADPR receptor. In myocytes displaying spontaneous [Ca(2+)](i) waves, increasing concentrations of cADPR increased wave frequency up to approximately 250% of control. In electrically paced myocytes (0.5 Hz, 5-ms duration), cADPR increased the amplitude of [Ca(2+)](i) transients in a concentration-dependent fashion, up to 150% of control. Administration of 8-amino-cADPR inhibited both spontaneous waves as well as [Ca(2+)](i) responses to electrical stimulation, even in the absence of exogenous cADPR. However, subsequent [Ca(2+)](i) responses to 5 mM caffeine were only partially inhibited by 8-amino-cADPR. In contrast, even under conditions where ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels were blocked with ryanodine, high cADPR concentrations still induced an [Ca(2+)](i) response. These results indicate that in cardiac myocytes, cADPR induces Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum through both RyR channels and via mechanisms independent of RyR channels. 相似文献

One major function of the creatine kinase system is to maintain energy demand of myofibrillar contraction processes. Loss of the CK-system led to adaptations in skeletal muscle. To analyze the impact on myocardial function contractile parameters and intracellular calcium metabolism of transgenic mice lacking mitochondrial CK (ScCKmit(-/-)) alone or both mitochondrial and cytoplasmic ScCK (CK(-/-)) were investigated compared to wild type at various workload conditions using isolated intact muscle fibers. Force development at baseline conditions, force-frequency relationship (60-600/min), and rapid frequency switch (60-600/min) were unaltered in myocardium of transgenic mice compared to wild type. Intracellular calcium metabolism revealed unchanged amplitude of the intracellular calcium transients (ICT), refilling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (calcium reuptake, post-rest behavior) in the ScCKmit(-/-) and CK(-/-) mice. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of myocardial energy-recruiting compensatory mechanisms at baseline as well as under stress conditions in CK depleted myocardium of transgenic mice. 相似文献

Most existing knowledge about [Ca(2+)](i) signaling in vascular endothelium has been based on studies using endothelial cells cultured in vitro. To examine how endothelial cells behave in situ, we have developed a method to monitor single-cell [Ca(2+)](i) from Fura-2-loaded rat aortic segments. Fluorescence ratio images from large numbers of endothelial cells were acquired by using a flow chamber mounted on a dual-wavelength fluorescence microscope. Our results showed that either acetylcholine or histamine reversibly activated the vascular endothelium by eliciting M(3) or H(1) receptor-mediated [Ca(2+)](i) increases, respectively. The acetylcholine-evoked endothelial [Ca(2+)](i) elevation at the branch site (intercostal orifice) was much more pronounced than that at the non-branch area. However, endothelium at the branch site was relatively insensitive to histamine. Both acetylcholine-sensitive and histamine-sensitive endothelial cells were arranged in belts aligned along flow lines and were intercalated with each other. Data analyzed from 400 endothelial cells located at the non-branch site showed drastically heterogeneous [Ca(2+)](i) responses to a fixed concentration of either acetylcholine or histamine, differing by two orders of magnitude in individual cells. As a conclusion, vascular endothelial cells appear to have their own characteristic [Ca(2+)](i) 'fingerprint' to various agonists and they may function coordinately in situ. 相似文献

The strength of the heart beat depends on the amplitude and time course of the transient increase in [Ca(2+)] in the myocytes with each cycle. [Na(+)](i) modulates cardiac contraction through its effect on the Ca(2+) flux through the Na/Ca exchanger. Cardiac excitation-contraction coupling has been postulated to occur in a microdomain or 'fuzzy' space at the junction of the T-tubules and the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This 'fuzzy' space is well described for the Ca(2+) fluxes and the interaction between the L-type Ca(2+) channel, the Ca(2+) release channel of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the Na/Ca exchanger. Co-localization of the Na(+) transporters, in particular the Na/K pump and the Na(+) channel, within this 'fuzzy' space is not as well established. The functional and morphological characteristics of the 'fuzzy' space for Na(+) and its interaction with the Ca(2+) handling suggest that this space is not strictly co-inciding with the Ca(2+) microdomain. In this space [Na(+)] can be several-fold higher or lower than [Na(+)] in the bulk cytosol. This has implications for modulation of [Ca(2+)](i) during a single beat as well as during alterations in Na(+) fluxes seen in pathological conditions. 相似文献

Protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms exert specific intracellular functions, but the different isoforms display little substrate specificity in vitro. Selective PKC isoform targeting may be a mechanism to achieve specificity. We used a green fluorescent fusion protein (GFP) to test the hypothesis that local changes in [Ca(2+)](i) regulate translocation of PKCalpha and that different modes of Ca(2+) and Ca(2+) release play a role in PKCalpha targeting. We constructed deletion mutants of PKCalpha to analyze the Ca(2+)-sensitive domains and their role in targeting. Confocal microscopy was used and [Ca(2+)](i) was measured by fluo-3. The fusion protein PKCalpha-GFP was expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells and showed a cytosolic distribution similar to the wild-type PKCalpha protein. The Ca(2+) ionophore ionomycin induced a speckled cytosolic PKCalpha-GFP distribution, followed by membrane translocation, while depolarization by KCl induced primarily membrane translocation. Selective voltage-operated Ca(2+) channel opening led to a localized accumulation of PKCalpha-GFP near the plasma membrane. Opening Ca(2+) stores with InsP(3), thapsigargin, or ryanodine induced a specific PKCalpha-GFP targeting to distinct intracellular areas. The G-protein-coupled receptor agonist thrombin induced a rapid translocation of the fusion protein to focal domains. The tyrosine kinase receptor agonist PDGF induced Ca(2+) influx and led to a linear PKCalpha-GFP membrane association. PKCalpha-GFP deletion mutants demonstrated that the C2 domain, but not the catalytic subunit, is necessary for Ca(2+)-induced PKCalpha targeting. Targeting was also abolished when the ATP binding site was deleted. We conclude that PKCalpha can rapidly be translocated to distinct intracellular or membrane domains by local increases in [Ca(2+)](i). The targeting mechanism is dependent on the C2 and ATP binding site of the enzyme. Localized [Ca(2+)](i) changes determine the spatial and temporal targeting of PKCalpha. 相似文献

Estrogen and bisphenol A disrupt spontaneous [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations in mouse oocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The present work aims to study the effects of estrogen or endocrine disrupters (EDs) on the dynamic changes in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration of mouse immature oocytes (IOs) loaded with Ca(2+)-sensitive dye Fura-2 using an image analyzer. The majority of IOs isolated from the ovary exhibited spontaneous Ca(2+) oscillations at regular intervals. Entry of external Ca(2+), probably through gap junctions, contributes to Ca(2+) oscillations since they were reversibly inhibited by removing Ca(2+) from the bathing medium or by the application of a gap-junction inhibitor carbenoxolone (CBX, 30 microM). Both 17beta-estradiol (E2) and E2-BSA, a membrane impermeable estrogen, shortened the duration of Ca(2+) oscillations in a dose-dependent manner (1-1000 nM), and produced an irregular pattern of the oscillations, strongly suggesting that E2 acts on the plasma membrane of the oocyte. For bisphenol A (BPA), one of the estrogen-mimicking EDs, a 10,000-fold higher concentration (100 microM) was necessary to exert similar inhibitory action to that of E2. 相似文献

Fluorimetric studies on progesterone-induced [Ca(2+)](i) signalling in mammalian spermatozoa show both the well-characterised [Ca(2+)](i) transient and a subsequent sustained phase. However, the sustained phase is thought to reflect release of the fluorochrome during the acrosome reaction and has not been subject to critical investigation. We have used single-cell imaging of [Ca(2+)](i) to analyse the progesterone-induced [Ca(2+)](i) response in large numbers (>2000) of capacitated, human spermatozoa. In 70% of cells, treatment with progesterone induced a transient increase, which typically peaked within 1 min and decayed with a similar time course. Upon rapid application of progesterone this response peaked within 5-20 s. In 35% of progesterone-treated spermatozoa a sustained elevation of [Ca(2+)](i) occurred, which became discernible during the falling phase of the transient response and persisted for at least 20 min. Both [Ca(2+)](i) responses were localised to the postacrosomal region. Averaging of large numbers of single cell responses generated traces similar to those seen in fluorimetric studies. Although the sustained response was strongly associated with the initial, transient response, a few spermatozoa generated sustained responses that were not preceded by a significant transient response (5% of cells). It is concluded that a genuine biphasic [Ca(2+)](i) signal is activated by progesterone and that the sustained response is a discrete signalling event with biological significance. 相似文献

Hypertension is associated with an increase in coronary artery disease, but little is known about the regulation of coronary vascular tone by endothelin-1 (ET-1) in hypertension. The present study evaluated the mechanisms mediating altered contraction to ET-1 in coronary small arteries from deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats. DOCA-salt rats exhibited an increase in systolic blood pressure and plasma ET-1 levels compared with placebo rats. Contraction to ET-1 (1 x 10(-11) to 3 x 10(-8) M), measured in isolated coronary small arteries maintained at a constant intraluminal pressure of 40 mmHg, was largely reduced in vessels from DOCA-salt rats compared with placebo rats. To determine the role of endothelin receptor binding in the impaired contraction to ET-1, (125)I-labeled ET-1 receptor binding was measured in membranes isolated from coronary small arteries. Maximum binding (fmol/mg protein) and binding affinity were similar in coronary membranes from DOCA-salt rats compared with placebo rats. Changes in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) were measured in freshly dissociated coronary small artery smooth muscle cells loaded with fura 2. ET-1 (10(-9) M) produced a 30 +/- 9% increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in smooth muscle cells from placebo rats, but had no effect on cells from DOCA-salt rats (2 +/- 2%). In summary, the ET-1-induced coronary artery contraction and increase in [Ca(2+)](i) are impaired in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats, whereas endothelin receptor binding is not altered. These results suggest endothelin receptor uncoupling from signaling mechanisms and indicate that impaired [Ca(2+)](i) signaling contributes to the decrease in ET-1-induced contraction of coronary small arteries in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. 相似文献

Previous studies showed increased phospholemman (PLM) mRNA after myocardial infarction (MI) in rats (Sehl PD, Tai JTN, Hillan KJ, Brown LA, Goddard A, Yang R, Jin H, and Lowe DG. Circulation 101: 1990-1999, 2000). We tested the hypothesis that, in normal adult rat cardiac myocytes, PLM overexpression alters contractile function and cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) homeostasis in a manner similar to that observed in post-MI myocytes. Compared with myocytes infected by control adenovirus expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) alone, Western blots indicated a 41% increase in PLM expression after 72 h (P < 0.001) but no changes in Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger, SERCA2, and calsequestrin levels in myocytes infected by adenovirus expressing GFP and PLM. At 5 mM extracellular [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](o)), maximal contraction amplitudes in PLM-overexpressed myocytes were 24% (P < 0.005) and [Ca(2+)](i) transient amplitudes were 18% (P < 0.05) lower than control myocytes. At 0.6 mM [Ca(2+)](o), however, contraction and [Ca(2+)](i) transient amplitudes were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in PLM-overexpressed than control myocytes (18% and 42%, respectively); at 1.8 mM [Ca(2+)](o), the differences in contraction and [Ca(2+)](i) transient amplitudes were narrowed. This pattern of contractile and [Ca(2+)](i) transient abnormalities in PLM-overexpressed myocytes mimics that observed in post-MI rat myocytes. We suggest that PLM overexpression observed in post-MI myocytes may partly account for contractile abnormalities by perturbing Ca(2+) fluxes during excitation-contraction. 相似文献

Studies were performed to determine the significance of temporal variation in vascular smooth muscle Ca(2+) signaling during acute arteriolar myogenic constriction and, in particular, the importance of the stretch-induced intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) transient in attaining a steady-state mechanical response. Rat cremaster arterioles (diameter approximately 100 microm) were dissected from surrounding tissues, and vessel segments were pressurized in the absence of intraluminal flow. For [Ca(2+)](i) measurements, vessels were loaded with fura 2 and fluorescence emitted by excitation at 340 and 380 nm was measured using video-based image analysis. Ca(2+) and diameter responses were examined after increases in intravascular pressure were applied as an acute step increase or a ramp function. Additional studies examined the effect of longitudinal vessel stretch on [Ca(2+)](i) and arteriolar diameter. Step increase in intraluminal pressure (from 50 to 120 mmHg) caused biphasic change in [Ca(2+)](i) and diameter. [Ca(2+)](i) transiently increased to 114.0 +/- 2.0% of basal levels and subsequently declined to 106.7 +/- 4.4% at steady state. Diameter initially distended to 125.4 +/- 2.1% of basal levels before constricting to 71.1 +/- 1.2%. In contrast, when the same pressure increase was applied as a ramp function (over 5 min) transient vessel distension and transient increase in [Ca(2+)](i) were prevented, yet at steady state vessels constricted to 71.3 +/- 2.5%. Longitudinal stretch resulted in a large [Ca(2+)](i) transient (158 +/- 19% of basal) that returned to baseline despite maintenance of the stretch stimulus. The data demonstrate that the initial vessel distension (reflecting myocyte stretch) and associated global [Ca(2+)](i) transient are not obligatory for myogenic contraction. Thus, although arteriolar smooth muscle cells are responsive to acute stretch, the resulting changes in myogenic tone may be more closely related to other mechanical variables such as wall tension. 相似文献

Removal of extracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](o)) and pretreatment of canine basilar arterial rings with either an antagonist of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels (verapamil), a selective antagonist of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump [thapsigargin (TSG)], caffeine plus a specific antagonist of ryanodine-sensitive Ca(2+) release (ryanodine), or a D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)]- mediated Ca(2+) release antagonist (heparin) markedly attenuates low extracellular Mg(2+) concentration ([Mg(2+)](o))-induced contractions. Low [Mg(2+)](o)-induced contractions are significantly inhibited by pretreatment of the vessels with G?-6976 [a protein kinase C-alpha (PKC-alpha)- and PKC-betaI-selective antagonist], bisindolylmaleimide I (Bis, a specific antagonist of PKC), and wortmannin or LY-294002 [selective antagonists of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinases (PI3Ks)]. These antagonists were also found to relax arterial contractions induced by low [Mg(2+)](o) in a concentration-dependent manner. The absence of [Ca(2+)](o) and preincubation of the cells with verapamil, TSG, heparin, or caffeine plus ryanodine markedly attenuates the transient and sustained elevations in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) induced by low-[Mg(2+)](o) medium. Low [Mg(2+)](o)-produced increases in [Ca(2+)](i) are also suppressed markedly in the presence of G?-6976, Bis, wortmannin, or LY-294002. The present study suggests that both Ca(2+) influx through voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels and Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores [both Ins(1,4,5)P(3) sensitive and ryanodine sensitive] play important roles in low-[Mg(2+)](o) medium-induced contractions of isolated canine basilar arteries. Such contractions are clearly associated with activation of PKC isoforms and PI3Ks. 相似文献

Impaired [Ca(2+)](i) and pH(i) responses to kappa-opioid receptor stimulation in the heart of chronically hypoxic rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

-Opioid receptor (-OR)stimulation with U50,488H, a selective -OR agonist, or activation ofprotein kinase C (PKC) with 4-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), anactivator of PKC, decreased the electrically induced intracellularCa2+ ([Ca2+]i) transient andincreased the intracellular pH (pHi) in single ventricularmyocytes of rats subjected to 10% oxygen for 4 wk. The effects ofU50,488H were abolished by nor-binaltorphimine, a selective -ORantagonist, and calphostin C, a specific inhibitor of PKC, while theeffects of PMA were abolished by calphostin C andethylisopropylamiloride (EIPA), a potent Na+/H+exchange blocker. In both right hypertrophied and leftnonhypertrophied ventricles of chronically hypoxic rats, the effects ofU50,488H or PMA on [Ca2+]i transient andpHi were significantly attenuated and completely abolished,respectively. Results are first evidence that the[Ca2+]i and pHi responses to-OR stimulation are attenuated in the chronically hypoxic rat heart,which may be due to reduced responses to PKC activation. Responses toall treatments were the same for right and left ventricles, indicatingthat the functional impairment is independent of hypertrophy. -ORmRNA expression was the same in right and left ventricles of bothnormoxic and hypoxic rats, indicating no regional specificity. 相似文献

Sperm entry in mammalian eggs initiates oscillations in the concentration of free calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)). In mouse eggs, oscillations start at metaphase II (MII) and conclude as the zygotes progress into interphase and commence pronuclear (PN) formation. The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R-1), which underlies the oscillations, undergoes degradation during this transition, suggesting that one or more of the eggs' Ca(2+)-releasing machinery components may be regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner, thereby coordinating [Ca(2+)](i) responses with the cell cycle. To ascertain the site(s) of interaction, we initiated oscillations at different stages of the cell cycle in zygotes with different IP(3)R-1 mass. In addition to sperm, we used two other agonists: porcine sperm factor (pSF), which stimulates production of IP(3), and adenophostin A, a non-hydrolyzable analogue of IP(3). None of the agonists tested induced oscillations at interphase, suggesting that neither decreased IP(3)R-1 mass nor lack of production or excessive IP(3) degradation can account for the insensitivity to IP(3) at this stage. Moreover, the releasable Ca(2+) content of the stores did not change by interphase, but it did decrease by first mitosis. More importantly, experiments revealed that IP(3)R-1 sensitivity and possibly IP(3) binding were altered at interphase, and our data demonstrate stage-specific IP(3)R-1 phosphorylation by M-phase kinases. Accordingly, increasing the activity of M-phase kinases restored the oscillatory-permissive state in zygotes. We therefore propose that the restriction of oscillations in mouse zygotes to the metaphase stage may be coordinated at the level of IP(3)R-1 and that this involves cell cycle stage-specific receptor phosphorylation. 相似文献

Although lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is known to increase intracellularfree calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in different cell types, the effect of LPA on the skeletal muscle cells is not known. The present study was therefore undertaken to examine the effect of LPA on the [Ca(2+)](i) in C2C12 cells. LPA induced a concentration and time dependent increase in [Ca(2+)](i), which was inhibited by VPC12249, VPC 32183 and dioctanoyl glycerol pyrophosphate, LPA1/3 receptor antagonists. Pertussis toxin, a G(i) protein inhibitor, also inhibited the LPA-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i). Inhibition of tyrosine kinase activities with tyrphostin A9 and genistein also prevented the increase in [Ca(2+)](i) due to LPA. Likewise, wortmannin and LY 294002, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) inhibitors, inhibited [Ca(2+)](i) response to LPA. The LPA effect was also attenuated by ethylene glycolbis(beta-aminoethylether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), an extracellular Ca(2+) chelator, Ni(2+) and KB-R7943, inhibitors of the Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger; the receptor operated Ca(2+) channel (ROC) blockers, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and SK&F 96365. However, the L-type Ca(2+) channel blockers, verapamil and diltiazem; the store operated Ca(2+) channel blockers, La(3+) and Gd(3+); a sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium pump inhibitor, thapsigargin; an inositol trisphosphate receptor antagonist, xestospongin and a phospholipase C inhibitor, U73122, did not prevent the increase [Ca(2+)](i) due to LPA. Our data suggest that the LPA-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i) might occur through G(i)-protein coupled LPA(1/3) receptors that may be linked to tyrosine kinase and PI3-K, and may also involve the Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger as well as the ROC. In addition, LPA stimulated C2C12 cell proliferation via PI3-K. Thus, LPA may be an important phospholipid in the regulation of [Ca(2+)](i) and growth of skeletal muscle cells. 相似文献

Using microfluorescence in combination with image-analysis techniques we monitored intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) dynamics in mouse islets of Langerhans loaded with fura-2 and recorded in vivo. [Ca(2+)](i) oscillates in the glycaemias range 5-10 mM, the duration of the oscillations being directly proportional to the blood glucose concentration. The analysis of different areas within the same islet shows that [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations are synchronous throughout the islet. These results show that in vivo, individual islets of Langerhans behave as a functional syncytium and suggest the existence of secretory pulses of insulin. 相似文献
