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

Calcium influx through receptor-operated channel induces mitochondria-triggered paraptotic cell death 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

We address the specific role of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) overload as a cell death trigger by expressing a receptor-operated specific Ca(2+) channel, vanilloid receptor subtype 1 (VR1), in Jurkat cells. Ca(2+) uptake through the VR1 channel, but not capacitative Ca(2+) influx stimulated by the muscarinic type 1 receptor, induced sustained intracellular [Ca(2+)] rises, exposure of phosphatidylserine, and cell death. Ca(2+) influx was necessary and sufficient to induce mitochondrial damage, as assessed by opening of the permeability transition pore and collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential. Ca(2+)-induced cell death was inhibited by ruthenium red, protonophore carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, or cyclosporin A treatment, as well as by Bcl-2 expression, indicating that this process requires mitochondrial calcium uptake and permeability transition pore opening. Cell death occurred without caspase activation, oligonucleosomal/50-kilobase pair DNA cleavage, or release of cytochrome c or apoptosis inducer factor from mitochondria, but it required oxidative/nitrative stress. Thus, Ca(2+) influx triggers a distinct program of mitochondrial dysfunction leading to paraptotic cell death, which does not fulfill the criteria for either apoptosis or necrosis. 相似文献

Using dual excitation and fixed emission fluorescence microscopy, we were able to measure changes in cytoplasmic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and mitochondrial membrane potential simultaneously in the pancreatic beta-cell. The beta-cells were exposed to a combination of the Ca(2+) indicator fura-2/AM and the indicator of mitochondrial membrane potential, rhodamine 123 (Rh123). Using simultaneous measurements of mitochondrial membrane potential and [Ca(2+)](i) during glucose stimulation, it was possible to measure the time lag between the onset of mitochondrial hyperpolarization and changes in [Ca(2+)](i). Glucose-induced oscillations in [Ca(2+)](i) were followed by transient depolarizations of mitochondrial membrane potential. These results are compatible with a model in which nadirs in [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations are generated by a transient, Ca(2+)-induced inhibition of mitochondrial metabolism resulting in a temporary fall in the cytoplasmic ATP/ADP ratio, opening of plasma membrane K(ATP) channels, repolarization of the plasma membrane, and thus transient closure of voltage-gated L-type Ca(2+) channels. 相似文献

CaMKII inactivation by extracellular Ca(2+) depletion in dorsal root ganglion neurons 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A mechanism by which Ca(2+)/CaM-dependent protein kinase (CaMKII) is autophosphorylated by changes in extracellular calcium in the absence of detectable changes in cytoplasmic [Ca(2+)] has been identified. We find that when the external Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](O)) is lowered, Ca(2+) is released from intracellular stores to maintain a constant cytoplasmic Ca(2+) level, gradually depleting the endoplasmic Ca(2+) stores. Accompanying the store-depletion is a rapid decrease in CaMKII activity. Approximately 25% of the measured CaMKII autophosphorylation in DRG neurons in culture can be regulated by Ca(2+) flux from intracellular stores caused by manipulating [Ca(2+)](O), as shown by blocking refilling of store-operated Ca(2+)-channels with SK&F 96365, Ruthenium Red, and a partial block with Ni(2+). Blocking voltage-gated Ca(2+)-channels with either isradipine or SR 33805, had no effect on CaMKII autophosphorylation induced by restoring Ca(2+)(O) to normal after depleting the intracellular Ca(2+) stores. These results show that removal of Ca(2+)(O) has profound effects on intracellular Ca(2+) signaling and CaMKII autophosphorylation, in the absence of measurable changes in intracellular Ca(2+). These findings have wide-ranging significance, because [Ca(2+)](O) is manipulated in many experimental studies. Moreover, this explanation for the paradoxical changes in CaMKII phosphorylation in response to manipulating [Ca(2+)](O) provides a possible mechanism linking activity-dependent depletion of Ca(2+) from the synaptic cleft to a protein kinase regulating many neuronal properties. 相似文献

Mitochondria sense cytoplasmic Ca(2+) signals in many cell types. In mammalian skeletal myotubes, depolarizing stimuli induce two independent cytoplasmic Ca(2+) signals: a fast signal associated with contraction and a slow signal that propagates to the nucleus and regulates gene expression. How mitochondria sense and possibly affect these cytoplasmic Ca(2+) signals has not been reported. We investigated here (a) the emergence of mitochondrial Ca(2+) signals in response to electrical stimulation of myotubes, (b) the contribution of mitochondrial Ca(2+) transients to ATP generation and (c) the influence of mitochondria as modulators of cytoplasmic and nuclear Ca(2+) signals. Rhod2 and Fluo3 fluorescence determinations revealed composite Ca(2+) signals associated to the mitochondrial compartment in electrically stimulated (400 pulses, 45 Hz) skeletal myotubes. Similar Ca(2+) signals were detected when using a mitochondria-targeted pericam. The fast mitochondrial Ca(2+) rise induced by stimulation was inhibited by pre-incubation with ryanodine, whereas the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 blocked the slow mitochondrial Ca(2+) signal, showing that mitochondria sense the two cytoplasmic Ca(2+) signal components. The fast but not the slow Ca(2+) transient enhanced mitochondrial ATP production. Inhibition of the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter prevented the emergence of mitochondrial Ca(2+) transients and significantly increased the magnitude of slow cytoplasmic Ca(2+) signals after stimulation. Precluding mitochondrial Ca(2+) extrusion with the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger inhibitor CGP37157 decreased mitochondrial potential, increased the magnitude of the slow cytoplasmic Ca(2+) signal and decreased the rate of Ca(2+) signal propagation from one nucleus to the next. Over expression of the mitochondrial fission protein Drp-1 decreased mitochondrial size and the slow Ca(2+) transient in mitochondria, but enhanced cytoplasmic and nuclear slow transients. The present results indicate that mitochondria play a central role in the regulation of Ca(2+) signals involved in gene expression in myotubes. 相似文献

Stimulation of receptors on the surface of animal cells often evokes cellular responses by raising intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. The rise in cytoplasmic Ca(2+) drives a plethora of processes, including neurotransmitter release, muscle contraction, and cell growth and proliferation. Mitochondria help shape intracellular Ca(2+) signals through their ability to rapidly take up significant amounts of Ca(2+) from the cytosol via the uniporter, a Ca(2+)-selective ion channel in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The uniporter is subject to inactivation, whereby a sustained cytoplasmic Ca(2+) rise prevents further Ca(2+) uptake. In spite of its importance in intracellular Ca(2+) signaling, little is known about the mechanism underlying uniporter inactivation. Here, we report that maneuvers that promote matrix alkalinisation significantly reduce inactivation whereas acidification exacerbates it. We further show that the F(1)F(0)-ATP synthase complex is an important source of protons for inactivation of the uniporter. These findings identify a novel molecular mechanism that regulates the activity of this ubiquitous intracellular Ca(2+) channel, with implications for intracellular Ca(2+) signaling and aerobic ATP production. 相似文献

Previously, we noted that inorganic phosphate (P(i)), a major component of bone extracellular matrix, induced osteoblast apoptosis (Meleti, Z., Shapiro, I. M., and Adams, C. S. (2000) Bone (NY) 27, 359-366). Since Ca(2+) along with P(i) is released from bone during the resorption process, we advanced the hypothesis that Ca(2+) modulates P(i)-mediated osteoblast apoptosis. To test this hypothesis, osteoblasts were incubated with both ions, and cell death was determined. We noted that a modest increase in the medium Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](e)) of 0.1-1 mm caused a profound and rapid enhancement in P(i)-dependent death of cultured osteoblasts. An elevation in [Ca(2+)](e) alone had no effect on osteoblast viability, whereas Ca(2+) channel blockers failed to inhibit killing of ion pair-treated cells. These results indicated that P(i)-mediated cell death is not dependent on a sustained increase in the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration. Terminal dUTP nick-end labeling analysis and measurement of caspase-3 activity of the ion pair-treated cells suggested that death was apoptotic. Apoptosis was confirmed using caspase-3 and endonuclease inhibitors. The mitochondrial membrane potential and cytosolic Ca(2+) status of the treated cells were evaluated. After incubation with [Ca(2+) ](e) and P(i), a decrease in mitochondrial fluorescence was noted, suggesting that the ions decreased the mitochondrial transmembrane potential. Subsequent to the fall in mitochondrial membrane potential, there was a transient elevation in the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration. Results of the study suggest that the ion pair conspire at the level of the plasma membrane to induce intracellular changes that result in loss of mitochondrial function. The subsequent increase in the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration may trigger downstream events that transduce osteoblast apoptosis. 相似文献

Agonist stimulation of exocrine cells leads to the generation of intracellular Ca(2+) signals driven by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) that rapidly become global due to propagation throughout the cell. In many types of excitable cells the intracellular Ca(2+) signal is propagated by a mechanism of Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR), mediated by ryanodine receptors (RyRs). Expression of RyRs in salivary gland cells has been demonstrated immunocytochemically although their functional role is not clear. We used microfluorimetry to measure Ca(2+) signals in the cytoplasm, in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and in mitochondria. In permeabilized acinar cells caffeine induced a dose-dependent, transient decrease of Ca(2+) concentration in the endoplasmic reticulum ([Ca(2+)](ER)). This decrease was inhibited by ryanodine but was insensitive to heparin. Application of caffeine, however, did not elevate cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) suggesting fast local buffering of Ca(2+) released through RyRs. Indeed, activation of RyRs produced a robust mitochondrial Ca(2+) transient that was prevented by addition of Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA but not EGTA. When mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake was blocked, activation of RyRs evoked only a non-transient increase in [Ca(2+)](i) and substantially smaller Ca(2+) release from the ER. Upon simultaneous inhibition of mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake and either plasmalemmal or ER Ca(2+) ATPase, activation of RyRs caused a transient rise in [Ca(2+)](i). Collectively, our data suggest that Ca(2+) released through RyRs is mostly "tunnelled" to mitochondria, while Ca(2+) ATPases are responsible for the fast initial sequestration of Ca(2+). Ca(2+) uptake by mitochondria is critical for maintaining continuous CICR. A complex interplay between RyRs, mitochondria and Ca(2+) ATPases is accomplished through strategic positioning of mitochondria close to both Ca(2+) release sites in the ER and Ca(2+) pumping sites of the plasmalemma and the ER. 相似文献

Pituitary gonadotropes transduce hormonal input into cytoplasmic calcium ([Ca(2+)](cyt)) oscillations that drive rhythmic exocytosis of gonadotropins. Using Calcium Green-1 and rhod-2 as optical measures of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial free Ca(2+), we show that mitochondria sequester Ca(2+) and tune the frequency of [Ca(2+)](cyt) oscillations in rat gonadotropes. Mitochondria accumulated Ca(2+) rapidly and in phase with elevations of [Ca(2+)](cyt) after GnRH stimulation or membrane depolarization. Inhibiting mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake by the protonophore CCCP reduced the frequency of GnRH-induced [Ca(2+)](cyt) oscillations or, occasionally, stopped them. Much of the Ca(2+) that entered mitochondria is bound by intramitochondrial Ca(2+) buffering systems. The mitochondrial Ca(2+) binding ratio may be dynamic because [Ca(2+)](mit) appeared to reach a plateau as mitochondrial Ca(2+) accumulation continued. Entry of Ca(2+) into mitochondria was associated with a small drop in the mitochondrial membrane potential. Ca(2+) was extruded from mitochondria more slowly than it entered, and much of this efflux could be blocked by CGP-37157, a selective inhibitor of mitochondrial Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchange. Plasma membrane capacitance changes in response to depolarizing voltage trains were increased when CCCP was added, showing that mitochondria lower the local [Ca(2+)](cyt) near sites that trigger exocytosis. Thus, we demonstrate a central role for mitochondria in a significant physiological response. 相似文献

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) mobilizes intracellular Ca(2+) by binding to its receptor (InsP(3)R), an endoplasmic reticulum-localized Ca(2+) release channel. Patch clamp electrophysiology of Xenopus oocyte nuclei was used to study the effects of cytoplasmic ATP concentration on the cytoplasmic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) dependence of single type 1 InsP(3)R channels in native endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Cytoplasmic ATP free-acid ([ATP](i)), but not the MgATP complex, activated gating of the InsP(3)-liganded InsP(3)R, by stabilizing open channel state(s) and destabilizing the closed state(s). Activation was associated with a reduction of the half-maximal activating [Ca(2+)](i) from 500 +/- 50 nM in 0 [ATP](i) to 29 +/- 4 nM in 9.5 mM [ATP](i), with apparent ATP affinity = 0.27 +/- 0.04 mM, similar to in vivo concentrations. In contrast, ATP was without effect on maximum open probability or the Hill coefficient for Ca(2+) activation. Thus, ATP enhances gating of the InsP(3)R by allosteric regulation of the Ca(2+) sensitivity of the Ca(2+) activation sites of the channel. By regulating the Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release properties of the InsP(3)R, ATP may play an important role in shaping cytoplasmic Ca(2+) signals, possibly linking cell metabolic state to important Ca(2+)-dependent processes. 相似文献

Our previous work has demonstrated that while the Ca(2+) and Pi ions acting in concert function as a potent osteoblast apoptogen, the underlying mechanisms by which it activates cell death is not known. We hypothesize that the ion pair causes release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores ([Ca(2+)]i); the increase in intracellular calcium prompts the mitochondria to uptake more calcium. This accumulation of calcium eventually results in the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and, subsequently, apoptosis. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated apoptosome formation in MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells treated with the ion pair. Western blot analysis indicated migration of cytochrome-c and Smac/DIABLO from mitochondria to the cytoplasm. Inhibition of either the electron transfer chain (with antimycin a and rotenone), or the activation of a MMP transition (with bongkrekic acid) inhibited apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Pre-treating osteoblasts with ruthenium red, a Ca(2+) uniporter inhibitor of both mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), also completely abolished Ca(2+.)Pi-induced apoptosis. Moreover, we showed that an increase in [Ca(2+)]i preceded the increase in MMP over the first 45 min of treatment; a mitochondrial membrane permeability transition was evident at 75 min. To determine the role of ER, Ca(2+) stores in the generation of the apoptotic signal by the ion pair, cells were treated with several inhibitors. Apoptosis was inhibited when cells were treated with dantrolene, an inhibitor of ER ryanodine receptors, and 2-aminodiphenylborate, an IP3 Ca(2+) channel inhibitor, but not cyclopiazonic acid, an ER Ca(2)-ATPase inhibitor. Together, these data demonstrate that Ca(2+) Pi-induced osteoblast apoptosis is characterized by the generation of an apoptosome and that Ca(2+) release from ER stores may promote ion pair-dependent cell death. 相似文献

Mitochondria shape Ca(2+) signaling and exocytosis by taking up calcium during cell activation. In addition, mitochondrial Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](M)) stimulates respiration and ATP synthesis. Insulin secretion by pancreatic beta-cells is coded mainly by oscillations of cytosolic Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](C)), but mitochondria are also important in excitation-secretion coupling. Here, we have monitored [Ca(2+)](M) in single beta-cells within intact mouse islets by imaging bioluminescence of targeted aequorins. We find an increase of [Ca(2+)](M) in islet-cells in response to stimuli that induce either Ca(2+) entry, such as extracellular glucose, tolbutamide or high K(+), or Ca(2+) mobilization from the intracellular stores, such as ATP or carbamylcholine. Many cells responded to glucose with synchronous [Ca(2+)](M) oscillations, indicating that mitochondrial function is coordinated at the whole islet level. Mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake in permeabilized beta-cells increased exponentially with increasing [Ca(2+)], and, particularly, it became much faster at [Ca(2+)](C)>2 microM. Since the bulk [Ca(2+)](C) signals during stimulation with glucose are smaller than 2 microM, mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake could be not uniform, but to take place preferentially from high [Ca(2+)](C) microdomains formed near the mouth of the plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels. Measurements of mitochondrial NAD(P)H fluorescence in stimulated islets indicated that the [Ca(2+)](M) changes evidenced here activated mitochondrial dehydrogenases and therefore they may modulate the function of beta-cell mitochondria. Diazoxide, an activator of K(ATP), did not modify mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake. 相似文献

Mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake requires sustained Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We analyzed the role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (i) in powering mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake and (ii) in maintaining a sustained elevation of cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)). For this purpose, we expressed in HeLa cells aequorin-based Ca(2+)-sensitive probes targeted to different intracellular compartments and studied the effect of two agonists: histamine, acting on endogenous H(1) receptors, and glutamate, acting on co-transfected metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR1a), which rapidly inactivates through protein kinase C-dependent phosphorylation and thus causes transient inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production. Glutamate induced a transient [Ca(2+)](c) rise and drop in ER luminal [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](er)), and then the ER refilled with [Ca(2+)](c) at resting values. With histamine, [Ca(2+)](c) after the initial peak stabilized at a sustained plateau, and [Ca(2+)](er) decreased to a low steady-state value. In mitochondria, histamine evoked a much larger mitochondrial Ca(2+) response than glutamate ( approximately 15 versus approximately 65 microm). Protein kinase C inhibition, partly relieving mGluR1a desensitization, reestablished both the [Ca(2+)](c) plateau and the sustained ER Ca(2+) release and markedly increased the mitochondrial Ca(2+) response. Conversely, mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake evoked by histamine was drastically reduced by very transient ( approximately 2-s) agonist applications. These data indicate that efficient mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake depends on the preservation of high Ca(2+) microdomains at the mouth of ER Ca(2+) release sites close to mitochondria. This in turn depends on continuous Ca(2+) release balanced by Ca(2+) reuptake into the ER and maintained by Ca(2+) influx from the extracellular space. 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

Impairment of the normal spatiotemporal pattern of intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) signaling, and in particular, the transition to an irreversible "Ca(2+) overload" response, has been implicated in various pathophysiological states. In some diseases, including pancreatitis, oxidative stress has been suggested to mediate this Ca(2+) overload and the associated cell injury. We have previously demonstrated that oxidative stress with hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) evokes a Ca(2+) overload response and inhibition of plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) in rat pancreatic acinar cells (Bruce JI and Elliott AC. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 293: C938-C950, 2007). The aim of the present study was to further examine this oxidant-impaired inhibition of the PMCA, focusing on the role of the mitochondria. Using a [Ca(2+)](i) clearance assay in which mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake was blocked with Ru-360, H(2)O(2) (50 microM-1 mM) markedly inhibited the PMCA activity. This H(2)O(2)-induced inhibition of the PMCA correlated with mitochondrial depolarization (assessed using tetramethylrhodamine methylester fluorescence) but could occur without significant ATP depletion (assessed using Magnesium Green fluorescence). The H(2)O(2)-induced PMCA inhibition was sensitive to the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) inhibitors, cyclosporin-A and bongkrekic acid. These data suggest that oxidant-induced opening of the mPTP and mitochondrial depolarization may lead to an inhibition of the PMCA that is independent of mitochondrial Ca(2+) handling and ATP depletion, and we speculate that this may involve the release of a mitochondrial factor. Such a phenomenon may be responsible for the Ca(2+) overload response, and for the transition between apoptotic and necrotic cell death thought to be important in many disease states. 相似文献

Dehydroepiandrosterone with other neurosteroids preserve neuronal mitochondria from calcium overload 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Kaasik A Safiulina D Kalda A Zharkovsky A 《The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology》2003,87(1):97-103
This current study was designed to test whether the dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and other neurosteroids could improve mitochondrial resistance to ischemic damage and cytoplasmic Ca(2+) overload. To imitate these mechanisms at mitochondrial level we treated the saponin permeabilized neurons either with the respiratory chain inhibitor, 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium or raised free extra-mitochondrial [Ca(2+)]. Loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (as an indicator of loss of function) was detected by JC-1. The results demonstrate that DHEA partly prevented Ca(2+) overload induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential but not the loss of potential induced by the inhibitor of the respiratory chain. A similar effect was observed in the presence of other neurosteroids, pregnenolone, pregnanolone and allopregnanolone. DHEA inhibited also the Ca(2+) accumulation to the mitochondria in the presence of Ca(2+) efflux inhibitors. Thus, in the present work we provide evidence that DHEA with several other neurosteroids protect the mitochondria against intracellular Ca(2+) overload by inhibiting Ca(2+) influx into the mitochondrial matrix. 相似文献

In various cell types, depletion of intracellular Ca(2+)-stores results in store-operated Ca(2+)-entry (SOCE) across the cellular membrane. However, the effects of SOCE on neuronal membrane excitability and mitochondrial functions in central neurons are not well defined. We investigated such cellular downstream effects in pyramidal neurons of rat organotypic hippocampal slice cultures by applying electrophysiological and fluorescence imaging techniques. We report that SOCE is associated with (i) elevations of Ca(2+)-concentration in individual neuronal mitochondria ([Ca(2+)](m)). In addition, SOCE can result in (ii) hyperpolarizing neuronal membrane currents, (iii) increase in extracellular K(+)-concentration ([K(+)](o)), (iv) mitochondrial membrane depolarization, and (v) changes in intracellular redox state (NAD(P)H and FAD fluorescence), the latter reflecting responses of energy metabolism. These additional downstream effects of SOCE required concomitant muscarinic receptor activation by carbachol or acetylcholine, and were suppressed by agonist washout or application of antagonist, atropine. We conclude that muscarinic receptor activation determines the downstream effects of SOCE on neuronal membrane excitability and energy metabolism. This mechanism might have significant impact on information processing and neurometabolic coupling in central neurons. 相似文献

This study investigated the relationship between cytoplasmic, mitochondrial, and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) [Ca(2+)] in rabbit aorta smooth muscle cells, following cell activation. Smooth muscle cells were loaded with the Ca(2+)-sensitive fluorescent indicator Mag-Fura-2-AM, and then either permeabilized by exposure to saponin, or dialyzed with a patch pipette in the whole-cell configuration to remove cytoplasmic indicator. When the intracellular solution contained millimolar EGTA or BAPTA, activation of SR Ca(2+)release through IP(3)or ryanodine receptors induced a decrease in the [Ca(2+)] reported by Mag-Fura-2. However, when EGTA was present at < or =100 microM, the same stimuli caused an increase in the [Ca(2+)] reported by Mag-Fura-2. The increase in [Ca(2+)] caused by phenylephrine or caffeine was delayed, and prolonged, with respect to the cytoplasmic Ca(2+)transient. Evidence is presented that this Mag-Fura-2 signal reflected a rise in mitochondrial [Ca(2+)]. Agents that inhibit mitochondrial function, such as FCCP or cyanide in combination with oligomycin B, converted the increase in organelle Mag-Fura-2 fluorescence to a decrease, while also prolonging the cytoplasmic Ca(2+)transient. There was considerable similarity between the localization of Mag-Fura-2 fluorescence and the mitochondria-selective indicator tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester. Thus, we propose that there is close functional integration between the SR and mitochondria in aorta smooth muscle cells, with mitochondria taking up Ca(2+)from the cytoplasm following cell activation. 相似文献

The Ca(2+) coupling between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria is central to multiple cell survival and cell death mechanisms. Cytoplasmic [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](c)) spikes and oscillations produced by ER Ca(2+) release are effectively delivered to the mitochondria. Propagation of [Ca(2+)](c) signals to the mitochondria requires the passage of Ca(2+) across three membranes, namely the ER membrane, the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) and the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM). Strategic positioning of the mitochondria by cytoskeletal transport and interorganellar tethers provides a means to promote the local transfer of Ca(2+) between the ER membrane and OMM. In this setting, even >100 microM [Ca(2+)] may be attained to activate the low affinity mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake. However, a mitochondrial [Ca(2+)] rise has also been documented during submicromolar [Ca(2+)](c) elevations. Evidence has been emerging that Ca(2+) exerts allosteric control on the Ca(2+) transport sites at each membrane, providing mechanisms that may facilitate the Ca(2+) delivery to the mitochondria. Here we discuss the fundamental mechanisms of ER and mitochondrial Ca(2+) transport, particularly the control of their activity by Ca(2+) and evaluate both high- and low-[Ca(2+)]-activated mitochondrial calcium signals in the context of cell physiology. 相似文献
