Abstract: | Precise regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration (Ca(2+)](i)) is achieved by the coordinated function of Ca(2+) channels and Ca(2+) buffers. Neuronal differentiation induces up-regulation of Ca(2+) channels. However, little is known about the effects of differentiation on the expression of the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA), the principal Ca(2+) extrusion mechanism in neurons. In this study, we examined the regulation of PMCA expression during differentiation of the human neuroblastoma cell line IMR-32. Ca(2+)](i) was monitored in single cells using indo-1 microfluorimetry. When the Ca(2+)-ATPase of the endoplasmic reticulum was blocked by cyclopiazonic acid, Ca(2+)](i) recovery after small depolarization-induced Ca(2+) loads was governed primarily by PMCAs. Ca(2+)](i) returned to baseline by a process described by a monoexponential function in undifferentiated cells (tau = 52 +/- 4 s; n = 25). After differentiation for 12-16 days, the Ca(2+)](i) recovery rate increased by more than threefold (tau = 17 +/- 1 s; n = 31). Western blots showed a pronounced increase in expression of three major PMCA isoforms in IMR-32 cells during differentiation, including PMCA2, PMCA3 and PMCA4. These results demonstrate up-regulation of PMCAs on the functional and protein level during neuronal differentiation in vitro. Parallel amplification of Ca(2+) influx and efflux pathways may enable differentiated neurons to precisely localize Ca(2+) signals in time and space. |
