Properties and function of low- and high-voltage-activated Ca2+ channels in hypoglossal motoneurons.
Calcium influx through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels plays an important role in neuronal function. In a thin-slice preparation of neonatal rat hypoglossal motoneurons (HMs) we recorded Ba2+ currents through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. We found that HMs have low-voltage-activated (LVA) and at least three types of high-voltage-activat...
objective: the apoptosis of motor neurons is a critical phenomenon in spinal cord injuries. adult spinal cord slices were used to investigate whether voltage sensitive calcium channels and na+/ca2+ exchangers play a role in the apoptosis of motor neurons. materials and methods: in this experimental research, the thoracic region of the adult mouse spinal cord was sliced using a tissue chopper an...
Ca2+ channels have been suggested to play major roles in the initiation of a large number of signal transduction processes in higher plant cells, including bud formation, polar growth, gas exchange regulation, secretion, movements, and light-regulated and hormone-regulated growth and development (Hepler and Wayne, 1985; Leonard and Hepler, 1990). Activation of Ca2+ channels allows transmembrane...
Activation of phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated signaling pathways in non-excitable cells causes the release of calcium (Ca2+) from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ stores and activation of Ca2+ influx via plasma membrane Ca2+ channels. The properties and molecular identity of plasma membrane Ca2+ influx channels in non-excitable cells is a focus of intense investi...
Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are involved in numerous physiological functions and various mechanisms finely tune their activity, including the Ca2+ ion itself. This is well exemplified by the Ca2+-dependent inactivation of L-type Ca2+ channels, whose alteration contributes to the dramatic disease Timothy Syndrome. For T-type Ca2+ channels, a long-held view is that they are not regulated by intra...
The effects of Ca2+ sparks on cerebral artery smooth muscle cells (CASMCs) and airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) tone, as well as the underlying mechanisms, are not clear. In this investigation, we elucidated the underlying mechanisms of the distinct effects of Ca2+ sparks on cerebral artery smooth muscle cells (CASMCs) and airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) tone. In CASMCs, owing to the funct...
SK2- and KV4.2-containing K+ channels modulate evoked synaptic potentials in CA1 pyramidal neurons. Each is coupled to a distinct Ca2+ source that provides Ca2+-dependent feedback regulation to limit AMPA receptor (AMPAR)- and NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-mediated postsynaptic depolarization. SK2-containing channels are activated by Ca2+ entry through NMDARs, whereas KV4.2-containing channel availabil...
Ca2+ entry through transmitter-gated cation channels, including ATP-gated P2X channels, contributes to an array of physiological processes in excitable and non-excitable cells, but the absolute amount of Ca2+ flowing through P2X channels is unknown. Here we address the issue of precisely how much Ca2+ flows through P2X channels and report the finding that the ATP-gated P2X channel family has re...
The mechanism of excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling in skeletal muscle is not yet well established. Cultured mouse skeletal muscle cells have been used to study the relationships between triad formation, Ca2+ channel activities, and contractions. The ontogenesis of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels and their localization in relation to the ability of muscle to contract and the ultrastructural ...
Activation of phospholipase C in nonexcitable cells causes the release of calcium (Ca2+) from intracellular stores and activation of Ca2+ influx by means of Ca2+ release-activated channels (ICRAC) in the plasma membrane. The molecular identity and the mechanism of ICRAC channel activation are poorly understood. Using the patch-clamp technique, here we describe the plasma membrane Ca2+ channels ...
