1. We have measured the intracellular Ca2+ concentration, [Ca2+]i, and the intracellular Na+ concentration, [Na+]i, with the fluorescent dyes fura-2 (for Ca2+) and SBFI (for Na+) in situ in giant glial cells of the central nervous system of the leech Hirudo medicinalis. 2. The basal [Ca2+]i was 79 +/- 35 nM (n = 27) in cells voltage clamped at -70 to -80 mV, and 75 +/- 29 nM (mean +/- S.D., n =...
The influence of selective removal of the endocardial endothelium (by a 1-second exposure to the detergent Triton X-100, 0.5%) on myofilament Ca2+ responsiveness and intracellular Ca2+ transients was studied in ferret papillary muscles loaded with the Ca(2+)-regulated bioluminescent indicator aequorin. The removal of endocardial endothelium produced three major effects: 1) a decrease in peak de...
The effects of phosphorylation status on Ca2+release and Ca2+ removal were studied in fast-twitch flexor digitorum brevis and slow-twitch soleus skeletal muscle fibers enzymatically isolated from wild-type and phospholamban knockout (PLBko) mice. In all fibers the adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (PKA) inhibitor H-89 decreased the peak amplitude of the intracellular...
Spontaneous, localized intracellular Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i) transients (Ca2+ sparks) in skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle cells are thought to represent Ca2+ release through ryanodine-receptor (RyR) channels. In porcine tracheal smooth muscle (TSM) cells, ACh induces propagating [Ca2+]ioscillations that also represent Ca2+ release through RyR channels. We used real-time confocal imaging...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The high potency antipsychotic drug trifluoperazine (10-[3-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-propyl]-2-(trifluoromethyl)-(10)H-phenothiazine dihydrochloride; TFP) may either counteract or promote suicidal cell death or apoptosis. Similar to apoptosis, erythrocytes may enter eryptosis, characterized by phosphatidylserine exposure at the cell surface and cell shrinkage. Eryptosis ca...
The purpose of this study was to quantify the Ca2+ fluxes underlying Ca2+ transients and their voltage dependence in myotubes by using the "removal model fit" approach. Myotubes obtained from the mouse C2C12 muscle cell line were voltage-clamped and loaded with a solution containing the fluorescent indicator dye fura-2 (200 microM) and a high concentration of EGTA (15 mM). Ca2+ inward currents ...
Pacing-induced heart failure in the dog recapitulates many of the electrophysiological and hemodynamic abnormalities of the human disease; however, the mechanisms underlying altered Ca2+ handling have not been investigated in this model. We now show that left ventricular midmyocardial myocytes isolated from dogs subjected to 3 to 4 weeks of rapid pacing have prolonged action potentials and Ca2+...
The mechanism by which agonist-evoked cytosolic Ca2+ signals are terminated has been investigated. We measured the Ca2+ concentration inside the endoplasmic reticulum store of pancreatic acinar cells and monitored the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration by whole-cell patch-clamp recording of the Ca2+-sensitive currents. When the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration was clamped at the resting level by a high...
The Na+-Ca2+ exchanger current was measured in single guinea pig ventricular myocytes, using the whole-cell voltage-clamp technique, and intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+](i)) was monitored simultaneously with the fluorescent probe Indo-1 applied intracellularly through a perfused patch pipette. In external solutions, which have levels of Ca2+ (approximately 66 microM Ca2+) though...
The hydrogen ion is an important factor in the alteration of vascular tone in pulmonary circulation. Endothelial cells modulate vascular tone by producing vasoactive substances such as prostacyclin (PGI2) through a process depending on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). We studied the influence of CO2-related pH changes on [Ca2+]i and PGI2 production in human pulmonary artery endotheli...
