The luminal Ca2+ chelator, TPEN, inhibits NAADP-induced Ca2+ release

The regulation of Ca(2+) release by luminal Ca(2+) has been well studied for the ryanodine and IP(3) receptors but has been less clear for the NAADP-regulated channel. In view of conflicting reports, we have re-examined the issue by manipulating luminal Ca(2+) with the membrane-permeant, low affinity Ca(2+) buffer, TPEN, and monitoring NAADP-induced Ca(2+) release in sea urchin egg homogenate. ...

Apoptotic neuronal changes enhanced by zinc chelator--TPEN in organotypic rat hippocampal cultures exposed to anoxia.

Both the neurotoxic and neuroprotective effects of zinc have been well established, but the exact mechanism of its dual abilities still remains unclear. It has been shown that zinc deficiency leads to progressive neuronal injury. Therefore a safe zinc concentration levels seem to be necessary in neuronal protection from different noxious factors. This study was undertaken to determine the effec...

Heavy metal chelator TPEN attenuates fura-2 fluorescence changes induced by cadmium, mercury and methylmercury

Stimulation with heavy metals is known to induce calcium (Ca(2+)) mobilization in many cell types. Interference with the measurement of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration by the heavy metals in cells loaded with Ca(2+) indicator fura-2 is an ongoing problem. In this study, we analyzed the effect of heavy metals on the fura-2 fluorescence ratio in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells by using TPEN,...

Alteration in Intracellular Zn2+ Homeostasis as a Result of TRPM2 Channel Activation Contributes to ROS-Induced Hippocampal Neuronal Death

Transient receptor potential melastatin-related 2 (TRPM2) channel, a molecular sensor for reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays an important role in cognitive dysfunction associated with post-ischemia brain damage thought to result from ROS-induced TRPM2-dependent neuronal death during reperfusion. Emerging evidence further suggests that an alteration in the Zn2+ homeostasis is critical in ROS-i...

Oocyte activation deficiency: a role for an oocyte contribution?

BACKGROUND Infertility affects between 10 and 16% of couples worldwide. Twenty to 30% of cases of infertility are due to a male factor, 20-35% to a female factor, and 25-40% are due to both male and female factors. In ∼10-25% of cases, the precise underlying cause remains unclear. IVF or ICSI followed by embryo transfer can be very appropriate treatment options in cases of female tubal damage, ...
