Simultaneous optical measurements of cytosolic Ca2+ and cAMP in single cells.

چکیده
Understanding the temporal and spatial integration of the Ca2+ and adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathways requires concurrent measurements of both second messengers. Here, we describe an optical technique to simultaneously image cAMP and Ca2+ concentration gradients in MIN6 mouse insulinoma cells using Epac1-camps, a Förster (or fluorescence) resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based cAMP biosensor, and Fura-2, a fluorescent indicator of Ca2+. This real-time imaging method allows investigation of the dynamic organization and integration of multiple levels of signal processing in single living cells.

Challenge with high concentrations of cyclic AMP induces transient changes in the cytosolic free calcium concentration in Dictyostelium discoideum.
Dictyostelium discoideum cells use cyclic AMP (cAMP) for chemotactic signaling as well as for differentiation. The precise regulation of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) seems to play a key role for both processes. We performed single cell measurements of [Ca2+]i in amoebae that were starved in suspension for various times and scrape-loaded with the Ca2+ indicator fura-2. Stimulation ...

The spatial and temporal dynamics of two intracellular second messengers, cAMP and Ca2 , were simultaneously monitored in living cells by digital fluorescence ratio imaging using FICRhR, a single-excitation dualemission cAMP indicator, and fura-2, a dual-excitation singleemission Ca2+ probe. In single C6-2B glioma cells, isoproterenolor forskolin-evoked cAMP accumulation (measured in vivo as an...
متن کاملRepetitive increases in cytosolic Ca2+ of guard cells by abscisic acid activation of nonselective Ca2+ permeable channels.
Many signal-transduction processes in higher plant cells have been suggested to be triggered by signal-induced opening of Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane. However, direct evidence for activation of plasma-membrane Ca2+ channels by physiological signals in higher plants has not yet been obtained. In this context, several lines of evidence suggest that Ca2+ flux into the cytosol of guard cel...
متن کاملVasopressin V1 receptors on the principal cells of the rabbit cortical collecting tubule. Stimulation of cytosolic free calcium and inositol phosphate production via coupling to a pertussis toxin substrate.
The effects of arginine vasopressin (AVP) on the cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]f) were examined in freshly immunodissected rabbit cortical collecting tubule cells using fluorescent Ca2+ indicators fura-2 and indo-1. The addition of AVP to a cell suspension resulted in a rapid and transient increase in the [Ca2+]f. The 1-deamino-8-D-AVP (dDVP), a V2 receptor agonist of AVP that sti...
متن کاملInteractions of Calcium Fluctuations during Cardiomyocyte Contraction with Real-Time cAMP Dynamics Detected by FRET
Calcium (Ca2+) and 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) play a critical role for cardiac excitation-contraction-coupling. Both second messengers are known to interact with each other, for example via Ca2+-dependent modulation of phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1) and adenylyl cyclase 5/6 (AC 5/6) activities, which is supposed to occur especially at the local level in distinct subcellular microdo...
