چکیده
Ins(1,4,5)P3 (InsP3)-induced Ca2+ release and [3H]InsP3 binding were measured in rat cerebellar microsomes in the presence or absence of caffeine. The quantal Ca2+ release was shown to occur in an apparently co-operative fashion with a Hill coefficient (h) of 2.2. Half-maximal Ca2+ release was observed at 900 nM-InsP3. Addition of caffeine caused changes both to the concentration of InsP3 required to cause half-maximal Ca2+ release (3.9,M at 50 mM-caffeine) and to the apparent co-operativity (h = 1.0 at 50 mM-caffeine). Under standard conditions for [3H]InsP3 binding, caffeine had no effect, and it had no effect on InsP3 metabolism. Cyclic AMP also had no effect on the quantal release induced by InsP3. These results are consistent with the view that caffeine affects the opening (Ca2` release) events rather than the ligand-binding events in the operation of the InsP3-sensitive Ca2+ channel.

Caffeine inhibits cytosolic calcium oscillations induced by noradrenaline and vasopressin in rat hepatocytes.
The effects of caffeine on agonist-induced changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) were studied in single fura 2-loaded cells and suspensions of rat hepatocytes. In single cells, caffeine (5-10 mM) inhibited [Ca2+]i oscillations induced both by noradrenaline (0.1 microM) and by vasopressin (0.1 nM). Caffeine shifted the dose-response curves of the [Ca2+]i rise induced by vasopress...
متن کاملRegulation of ryanodine receptor opening by lumenal Ca(2+) underlies quantal Ca(2+) release in PC12 cells.
Graded or "quantal" Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores has been observed in various cell types following activation of either ryanodine receptors (RyR) or inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP(3)R). The mechanism causing the release of Ca(2+) stores in direct proportion to the strength of stimulation is unresolved. We investigated the properties of quantal Ca(2+) release evoked by ...
متن کاملNeurobiology of Disease Cytotoxicity of Intracellular A 42 Amyloid Oligomers Involves Ca Release from the Endoplasmic Reticulum by Stimulated Production of Inositol Trisphosphate
Oligomeric forms of -amyloid (A ) peptides associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disrupt cellular Ca 2 regulation by liberating Ca 2 into the cytosol from both extracellular and intracellular sources. We elucidated the actions of intracellular A 42 by imaging Ca 2 responses to injections of A oligomers into Xenopus oocytes. Two types of signal were observed: (1) local, “channel-like” transie...
متن کاملActivation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor is essential for the opening of mouse TRP5 channels.
We studied the opening mechanism of Ca(2+)-permeable channels formed with mouse transient receptor potential type 5 (mTRP5) using Xenopus oocytes. After stimulation of coexpressed muscarinic M(1) receptors with acetylcholine (ACh) in a Ca(2+)-free solution, switching to 2 mM Ca(2+)-containing solution evoked a large Cl(-) current, which reflects the opening of endogenous Ca(2+)-dependent Cl(-) ...
متن کاملInositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate may regulate rat brain Cai++ by inhibiting membrane bound Na(+)-Ca++ exchanger.
The role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (1,4,5-IP3) in regulating cytosolic Ca++ by stimulating Ca++ release from intracellular organelles is well established. However, other modes of intracellular Ca++ regulation by 1,4,5-IP3 have not been determined. To determine if 1,4,5-IP3 may regulate cell cytosolic Ca++ by acting on plasma membrane bound Na(+)-Ca++ exchanger, we investigated Ca++ transp...
