钾通道对大鼠肺动脉平滑肌细胞[Ca2+]i的调节

目的:探讨在常氧、低氧条件下钾通道对大鼠肺动脉平滑肌细胞(PASMCs)[Ca²⁺]_i的调节。方法:采用钙荧光探针(Fura-2/AM)负载培养的大鼠PASMCs,观察常氧、低氧培养后3种钾通道抑制剂(4AP,TEA、Glib)对PASMCs[Ca²⁺]_i的调节,同时用四唑盐(MTT)比色法比较4AP、TEA、Glib对大鼠PASMCs增殖的影响。结果:(1)常氧状态下,PASMCs[Ca²⁺]_i为(156.91±8.60)nmol/L,低氧时为(294.01±16.81)nmol/L(P＜0.01)。(2)常氧状态下,4AP可引起PASMCs[Ca²⁺]_i升高,达(280.52±23.21)nmol/L(P＜0.01),而TEA、Glib无此作用。(3)低氧时,4AP和TEA都可引起PASMCs[Ca²⁺]_i的升高,分别为(422.41±24.28)nmol/L、(380.84±11.02)nmol/L(P<0.01),Glib无作用。(4)MTT比色法中,常氧和低氧状态下4AP均引起吸光度(A)值升高,分别是0.582±0.062,0.873±0.043(P＜0.01)。TEA仅在低氧时A值升高(0.729±0.041,P＜0.05),而Glib无论常氧还是低氧均无影响。结论:无论常氧还是低氧条件下,电压依赖性钾通道(K_V)对PASMCs[Ca²⁺]_i及其增殖起主要作用。钙激活的钾通道(K_Ca)在常氧条件下对[Ca²⁺]_i不起调节作用,而在低氧下使[Ca²⁺]_i降低,反应性地调节PASMCs增殖。ATP敏感性钾通道(K_ATP)无论在常氧还是低氧情况下对[Ca²⁺]_i的调节不起作用。     

Carboxyeosin decreases the rate of decay of the [Ca2+]i transient in uterine smooth muscle cells isolated from pregnant rats

 In myometrial smooth muscle cells the rate of decline of intracellular calcium ([Ca²⁺]_i) is determined by Ca²⁺ extrusion from the cell and uptake into intracellular stores. The relative quantitative contribution of these processes however, has not been established. We therefore examined the effect of the sarcolemmal Ca²⁺ pump inhibitor, carboxyeosin, on the rate of the [Ca²⁺]_i transient decline in myocytes isolated from pregnant rat uterus. Indo-1 was used in conjunction with the whole-cell patch-clamp technique to measure [Ca²⁺]_i simultaneously with transmembrane calcium current (I _Ca). [Ca²⁺]_i transients were elicited by repetitive membrane depolarization to simulate the natural pattern of uterine electrical activity. The rate of [Ca²⁺]_i removal was calculated from the falling phase of the [Ca²⁺]_i transient. Pre-treatment of the cells with 2 μM carboxyeosin led to a marked decrease in the rate of [Ca²⁺]_i transient decay, suggesting that the sarcolemmal Ca²⁺ pump is involved in the calcium extrusion process. Removal of the extracellular Na also decreased the rate of [Ca²⁺]_i decay, indicating an important role for the Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchange. When both the sarcolemmal Ca²⁺ pump and Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchange were inhibited the cell failed to restore [Ca²⁺]_i after the stimulation. Comparison of the rate constants of [Ca²⁺]_i decay in control conditions and after carboxyeosin treatment shows that approximately 30% of [Ca²⁺]_i decay is due to the sarcolemmal calcium pump activity. The remaining 70% can be attributed to the activity of Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchanger and the intracellular calcium stores.

小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞基态游离钙离子浓度的不均一性及其和细胞反应性的关系

目的:在单细胞水平上研究小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞(PM)基态游离钙离子浓度([Ca²⁺]_i)的不均一性及其和细胞反应性的关系。方法:用荧光指示剂Fura-2/AM结合荧光显微镜成像系统检测单个PM基态的及用激动剂刺激细胞后的[Ca²⁺]_i;同时结合NBT染色法定量检测单个PM产超氧阴离子(O₂^-)水平。结果:对7只正常小鼠共392个PM基态[Ca²⁺]_i的研究表明小鼠PM的基态[Ca²⁺]_i呈正态分布[(54±24)nmol/L,n=392],但波动范围较大(从10nmol/L到高于100nmol/L),以[Ca²⁺]_i在40-60nmol/L的细胞数量最多(约占50%)。用PMA、fMLP刺激后PM[Ca²⁺]_i升高,且受刺激后[Ca²⁺]_i升高的峰值和基态[Ca²⁺]_i之间呈正相关(PMA刺激组:r=052,P<0.01,n=58;fMLP刺激组:r=0.59,P<0.01,n=44。此两组实验均以不同的小鼠重复3次,其它两只小鼠的结果与上同。下面的表述方法同此)。另外小鼠PM的基态[Ca²⁺]_i与其受PMA刺激后产生O₂^-的量也呈显著正相关(r=0.42,P<0.01,n=43,重复4次)。结论:小鼠PM的基态[Ca²⁺]_i是不均一的,且基态[Ca²⁺]_i的高低和该细胞对致炎因子的反应性密切相关。     

慢性低氧对肺动脉内皮及平滑肌细胞急性低氧时胞浆游离钙变化的影响

目的和方法:以Fura-2/AM荧光指示剂负载,检测常氧(PO2213kPa)及慢性低氧[PO2(53±07)kPa]培养的大鼠肺内动脉平滑肌细胞及猪肺动脉内皮细胞胞浆游离钙的水平及其对急性低氧刺激反应的变化。结果:慢性低氧条件培养的第6代肺内动脉平滑肌细胞在急性低氧时[Ca²⁺]_i升高的程度明显降低(P<0.05);而慢性低氧条件培养的第5代肺动脉内皮细胞对急性低氧引起的[Ca²⁺]_i升高程度明显增加(P<0.05)。结论:慢性低氧可以减弱肺内动脉平滑肌细胞对急性低氧所致[Ca²⁺]_i升高的反应而增强肺动脉内皮细胞低氧性[Ca²⁺]_i升高的反应。这可能在慢性低氧时肺血管对低氧的反应性降低中起重要作用。     

氢氟酸烧伤中毒对兔外周血单个核细胞凋亡与胞内钙浓度的影响

目的: 研究氢氟酸烧伤中毒对兔外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)早期凋亡百分率和胞内游离钙浓度([Ca²⁺]_i)的影响。方法: 用流式细胞仪检测兔烧伤染毒前后外周血单个核细胞的Annexin V变化, 以观察其早期凋亡百分率。用Fluo-3/Am荧光探针观察烧伤染毒前后外周血单个核细胞内Ca²⁺平均荧光强度值的变化, 以观察细胞内[Ca²⁺]_i的变化。 结果: 12只烧伤中毒兔外周血单个核细胞早期凋亡百分率显著增加, 烧伤染毒前后比较P<0.01。而12只烧伤中毒兔中8只染毒后1 h外周血单个核细胞内[Ca²⁺]_i显著降低, 烧伤染毒前后比较P<0.05。其余4只却表现[Ca²⁺]_i染毒前后比较P>0.05。 结论: 本实验氢氟酸烧伤中毒使兔外周血单个核细胞早期凋亡百分率显著增加, 外周血单个核细胞内[Ca²⁺]_i却显著降低。提示氢氟酸烧伤中毒引导的细胞凋亡并非细胞内[Ca²⁺]_i增加所引发。     

ATP acting on P2Y receptors triggers calcium mobilization in primary cultures of rat neurohypophysial astrocytes (pituicytes)

 The effect of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) on the intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration ([Ca²⁺]_i) of cultured neurohypophysial astrocytes (pituicytes) was studied by fluorescence videomicroscopy. ATP evoked a [Ca²⁺]_i increase, which was dose dependent in the 2.5–50 μM range (EC₅₀=4.3 μM). The ATP-evoked [Ca²⁺]_i rise was not modified during the first minute following the removal of external Ca²⁺. Application of 500 nM thapsigargin inhibited the ATP-dependent [Ca²⁺]_i increase. Caffeine (10 mM) and ryanodine (1 μM) did not affect the ATP-induced [Ca²⁺]_i rise. The pituicytes responded to various P₂ purinoceptor agonists with the following order of potency: ATP=ATP[γ-S]=2-MeSATP≥ADP, where ATP[γ-S] is adenosine 5′-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) and 2-MeSATP is 2-methylthio-adenosine-5′-triphosphate. Adenosine, AMP, α,β-methylene adenosine-5′-triphosphate (α,β-MeATP), β,γ methylene adenosine-5′-triphosphate (β,γ-MeATP) and uridine 5′-triphosphate (UTP) were ineffective. The P₂ purinoceptor antagonists blocked the ATP-evoked [Ca²⁺]_i increase with the following selectivity: RB-2>suramin>PPADS, where RB-2 is Reactive Blue 2 and PPADS is pyridoxal-phosphate-6-azophenyl-2′,4′-disulphonic acid. The ATP-evoked [Ca²⁺]_i increase was substantially blocked by pertussis toxin treatment, suggesting that it might be mediated by a pertussis-toxin-sensitive G protein. The phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor U-73122 (0.5 μM) abolished the ATP-evoked [Ca²⁺]_i rise, whereas its inactive stereoisomer U-73343 (0.5 μM) remained ineffective. Our results indicate that, in rat cultured pituicytes, ATP stimulation induces an increase in [Ca²⁺]_i due to PLC-mediated release from intracellular stores through activation of a pertussis-toxin-sensitive, G-protein-linked P_2Y receptor.

Evidence for a Na+/Ca2+ exchange mechanism in frog skin epithelium

 In the present study we investigated the possible existence of a Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchange mechanism in the basolateral membrane of the frog skin epithelium and whether such a mechanism plays a role in the regulation of transepithelial Na⁺ transport. Cytosolic calcium ([Ca²⁺]_i) was measured with the probe fura-2 in a set-up in which pieces of tissue were mounted on the stage of an epifluorescence microscope. Na⁺ transport was measured as the amiloride-sensitive short-circuit current (I _sc) using a conventional voltage clamp. Basal [Ca²⁺]_i was 65±6 nM (n=15). Removal of Na⁺ from the mucosal solution had no effect on [Ca²⁺]_i. When Na⁺ was removed from the serosal solution, [Ca²⁺]_i increased biphasically to a peak of 220±38 nM (n=8, P=0.006). Readdition of Na⁺ to the serosal solution returned [Ca²⁺]_i to control level. The serosal Na⁺ gradient and changes in [Ca²⁺]_i were closely correlated; stepwise changes in serosal Na⁺ were followed by stepwise changes in [Ca²⁺]_i. These observations indicate the existence of a Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchange mechanism in the basolateral membrane of the frog skin epithelium. The transepithelial Na⁺ transport decreased from 13.2±1.8 to 9.2±1.5 μA cm^–2 (n=8, P=0.049) when Na⁺ was omitted from the serosal solution. When this protocol was repeated in the absence of serosal Ca²⁺, Na⁺ transport decreased similarly from 16.7±1.7 to 11.6 ±1.8 μA cm^–2 (n=6, P=0.004). We conclude that it is unlikely that the observed decrease in I _sc after removal of serosal Na⁺ is due to an increase in [Ca²⁺]_i per se.

低氧后心肌钙瞬变变化与β-肾上腺素受体脱敏的关系

目的:慢性低氧时,心脏对β-肾上腺素受体激动的反应出现脱敏现象,细胞内钙[Ca²⁺]_i瞬变的幅度降低、时程延长,本研究观察上述变化在低氧时发生和发展的时间过程和对应关系。方法:在年龄对等的正常及慢性低氧1d、3d、1周、2周、3周、4周和8周的大鼠,分别分离正常及慢性低氧条件下的心室肌细胞,以Fura-2为[Ca²⁺]_i的指示剂,用光谱荧光法测定心肌细胞的[Ca²⁺]_i瞬变及其对心肌β-受体激动后反应的变化。结果:在低氧1d、3d、1周等时间内,电刺激引起的[Ca²⁺]_i瞬变、咖啡因引起的[Ca²⁺]_i瞬变及电刺激引起的[Ca²⁺]_i瞬变对β-受体激动剂异丙肾上腺素的增加反应无明显变化;在低氧2周以上时,电刺激引起的[Ca²⁺]_i瞬变的幅度开始降低,而时程开始延长,其对异丙肾上腺素的反应也开始降低。咖啡因引起的[Ca²⁺]_i瞬变幅度也开始降低;在低氧3周和4周时,上述变化程度逐渐加重;在低氧8周时各参数的变化有所恢复,但与4周时的变化程度无明显差异。结论:低氧2-4周时,心脏的β-肾上腺素受体发生脱敏现象,脱敏的机制与3种调节[Ca²⁺]_i瞬变的蛋白质:L-型钙通道、ryanodine受体操纵的钙通道和钙泵等活性的降低有关,后者也可能是低氧时心脏功能降低的重要机制。低氧4-8周时,心脏对低氧产生了适应和代偿。     

噻庚啶和山莨菪碱拮抗TNFα诱导的内皮细胞[Ca2+]i增高

目的：研究噻庚啶（Cyp）和山莨菪碱（Ani）对肿瘤坏死因子（TNFα）诱导单个内皮细胞内Ca²⁺浓度（[Ca²⁺]_i）变化的影响，以探TNFα介导休克和Cyp、Ani的抗休克的机制。方法：人脐静脉内皮细胞株（ECV304）接种于35 mm含2 mL DMEM培养基的组织培养盘中培养。Fluo-3/AM负载细胞，激光扫描共聚焦显微技术（LSCM）测定单个内皮细胞[Ca²⁺]_i。结果：TNFα使单个内皮细胞[Ca²⁺]_i呈剂量依赖性升高，在60 s内达到峰值，然后下降并保持在基础水平之上。共聚焦扫描图像显示细胞核区[Ca²⁺]_i升高比胞浆区明显，下降比胞浆区慢。Cyp（3×10^-5 mol/L或6×10^-5 mol/L）、Ani（2×10^-5 mol/L或4×10^-5 mol/L）均能显著抑制由TNFα（1.2×10^-9 mol/L）诱导的单个内皮细胞[Ca²⁺]_i升高。结论：TNFα诱导内皮细胞[Ca²⁺]_i升高可能是TNFα介导休克的重要机制；Cyp和Ani抑制TNFα诱导的[Ca²⁺]_i升高可能是其抗休克作用的机制之一。

Response of human B cells to different anti-immunoglobulin isotypes: absence of a correlation between early activation events and cell proliferation

Cross-linking of surface immunoglobulin (sIg) by antibodies against IgM, IgG and IgD activates B cells and in some circumstances can induce cell proliferation. We studied the potential link between anti-Ig-induced changes in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), inositol phosphate production and the ability to induce cell proliferation in the presence or absence of the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). Anti-IgM, but not anti-IgD or anti-IgG, induced cell proliferation in the presence but not the absence of TPA. Each of the antibodies induced a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i which appeared to be due to release of Ca2+ from internal stores. This was followed by a sustained increase in [Ca2+]i, apparently due to Ca2+ uptake from the extracellular medium. Anti-IgD induced the greatest increase in [Ca2+]i, anti-IgM induced intermediate changes and anti-IgG the lowest change. Since inositol 1,3,5-trisphosphate (IP3) can release Ca2+ from internal stores, we tested the ability of each anti-Ig isotype to increase concentrations of IP3. In contrast to the change in [Ca2+]i and proliferation, anti-IgG induced the most significant increase in IP3 concentrations. Taken together these data indicate that changes in [Ca2+]i, inositol phosphate production and anti-Ig-induced human B cell proliferation are not directly linked. They also demonstrate that changes in [Ca2+]i, inositol phosphate production and activation of protein kinase C are not sufficient to induce proliferation of human B cells. It appears that anti-IgM induces an additional Ca2+-independent, inositol phosphate-independent and protein kinase C-independent activation signal which can collaborate with TPA to induce B cell proliferation. The molecular events involved in this signal remain to be identified.

目的：钙作为重要信使参与多种生理和病理代谢过程,而且在缺血性神经元损伤机制中起着重要的作用。本实验模拟脑缺血的病理生化改变,用激光扫描共聚焦显微镜（LSCM）和Fluo-3荧光探针标记技术,观察低氧缺血状态下体外培养的海马,皮质神经元内钙浓度的变化。方法：用100μmol/L氰化钠造成细胞低氧;100μmol/L氰化钠和3.5mmol/L碘醋酸盐模拟在体完全性脑缺血;1mmol/LL-谷氨酸模拟在体脑缺血时兴奋性氨基酸大量释放;无葡萄糖介质剥夺细胞能量代谢的底物。结果：低氧使海马神经元[Ca^2 ]i显著升高,但有两种不同的钙振荡现象,谷氨酸引起海马神经元[Ca^2 ]i持续升高,但峰值低于低氧组,缺血组未见[Ca^2 ]i大幅升高,葡萄糖缺如不引起[Ca^2 ]i升高,结论：低氧和谷氨酸引起的神经元损害是能量依赖性的,轻度酸中毒可阻止胞内Ca^ 升高,糖对神经元具有保护作用,但单纯无糖引起的神经元损害与Ca^2 超载机制无关。     

Modifications of the Ca2+ release mechanisms of mouse oocytes by fertilization and by sperm factor

A cytosolic factor from sperm (SF) is thought to be responsible for the generation of intracellular calcium oscillations ([Ca2+]i) associated with fertilization in mammalian oocytes. Whether or not mouse oocytes injected with SF exhibit modifications of their Ca2+ release mechanisms similar to those observed in fertilized oocytes is not known and this was investigated here by injecting porcine SF (pSF). First, pSF-activated oocytes injected with CaCl2 showed persistent sensitization of the Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release mechanism, but this sensitization was absent in SrCl2-activated oocytes. Second, pSF-injected oocytes re-initiated oscillations when fused with untreated oocytes, although the Ca2+ responses were short-lived compared to those initiated by fertilization. Likewise, in the presence of colcemid, pSF-initiated oscillations were prolonged but ceased in advance of those in fertilized zygotes. Also, pronuclear envelope breakdown induced by okadaic acid was not associated with Ca2+ release in pSF-generated zygotes, whereas it was observed in fertilized zygotes. Finally, roscovitine, an inhibitor of maturation promoting factor, blocked pSF-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations. Together, these results show that pSF-induced [Ca2+]i responses exhibit properties similar to those triggered by the sperm, although the SF's Ca2+ active component(s) may be less stable or more susceptible to degradation, resulting in shorter modification of the oocyte's Ca2+ release mechanisms.

Endothelin-1-induced proliferation of human endothelial cells depends on activation of K+ channels and Ca+ influx

AIMS: Endothelin-1 (ET-1) promotes endothelial cell growth. Endothelial cell proliferation involves the activation of Ca2+-activated K+ channels. In this study, we investigated whether Ca2+-activated K+ channels with big conductance (BK(Ca)) contribute to endothelial cell proliferation induced by ET-1. METHODS: The patch-clamp technique was used to analyse BK(Ca) activity in endothelial cells derived from human umbilical cord veins (HUVEC). Endothelial proliferation was examined using cell counts and measuring [3H]-thymidine incorporation. Changes of intracellular Ca2+ levels were examined using fura-2 fluorescence imaging. RESULTS: Characteristic BK(Ca) were identified in cultured HUVEC. Continuous perfusion of HUVEC with 10 nmol L(-1) ET-1 caused a significant increase of BK(Ca) open-state probability (n = 14; P < 0.05; cell-attached patches). The ET(B)-receptor antagonist (BQ-788, 1 micromol L(-1)) blocked this effect. Stimulation with Et-1 (10 nmol L(-1)) significantly increased cell growth by 69% (n = 12; P < 0.05). In contrast, the combination of ET-1 (10 nmol L(-1)) and the highly specific BK(Ca) blocker iberiotoxin (IBX; 100 nmol L(-1)) did not cause a significant increase in endothelial cell growth. Ca2+ dependency of ET-1-induced proliferation was tested using the intracellular Ca2+-chelator BAPTA (10 micromol L(-1)). BAPTA abolished ET-1 induced proliferation (n = 12; P < 0.01). In addition, ET-1-induced HUVEC growth was significantly reduced, if cells were kept in a Ca2+-reduced solution (0.3 mmol L(-1)), or by the application of 2 aminoethoxdiphenyl borate (100 micromol L(-1)) which blocks hyperpolarization-induced Ca2+ entry (n = 12; P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Activation of BK(Ca) by ET-1 requires ET(B)-receptor activation and induces a capacitative Ca2+ influx which plays an important role in ET-1-mediated endothelial cell proliferation.
