Calcium [Ca2+] and reactive oxygen species (ROS) constitute the most important intracellular signaling molecules participating in the regulation and integration of diverse cellular functions. Here we briefly review cross-talk between the two prominent signaling systems that finely tune the homeostasis and integrate functionality of Ca2+ and ROS in different types of cells. Ca2+ modulates ROS homeostasis by regulating ROS generation and annihilation mechanisms in both the mitochondria and the cytosol. Reciprocal redox regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis occurs in different physiological and pathological processes, by modulating components of the Ca2+ signaling toolkit and altering characteristics of local and global Ca2+ signals. Functionally, interactions between Ca2+ and ROS signaling systems can be both stimulatory and inhibitory, depending on the type of target proteins, the ROS species, the dose, duration of exposure, and the cell contexts. Such extensive and complex cross-talk might enhance signaling coordination and integration, whereas abnormalities in either system might propagate into the other system and undermine the stability of both systems.
钙离子[Ca2+]和活性氧(ROS)是参与多种细胞功能调节与整合的最重要的细胞内信号分子。在此,我们简要回顾这两个重要信号系统之间的相互作用,它们精细调节不同类型细胞中Ca2+和ROS的稳态并整合其功能。Ca2+通过调节线粒体和细胞质中的ROS生成及清除机制来调节ROS稳态。通过调节Ca2+信号工具包的组成部分并改变局部和全局Ca2+信号的特征,在不同的生理和病理过程中会发生对Ca2+稳态的相互氧化还原调节。在功能上,Ca2+和ROS信号系统之间的相互作用既可以是刺激性的,也可以是抑制性的,这取决于靶蛋白的类型、ROS种类、剂量、暴露持续时间以及细胞环境。这种广泛而复杂的相互作用可能会增强信号协调与整合,而任何一个系统的异常都可能传播到另一个系统并破坏两个系统的稳定性。
