Of the three intracellular Ca2+ signalling molecules (InsP3, cADPR and NAADP) sea urchin egg homogenate has been used in the identification and characterisation of two, cADPR and NAADP. Homogenate is prepared in a Na+/Cl- substitute of N-Methyl glucamine (NMG)/gluconate. To determine how media composition affects Ca2+ release we replaced NMG with various sugars or glycine and found a dramatic improvement in InsP3 mediated Ca2+ release. Conversely the response to cADPR was diminished, whilst NAADP was unaffected. Therefore modifying media composition may be an important consideration in using homogenate to study Ca2+ release for future studies.
在三种细胞内钙离子信号分子(三磷酸肌醇、环磷酸腺苷二磷酸核糖和烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸)中,海胆卵匀浆已被用于两种分子(环磷酸腺苷二磷酸核糖和烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸)的鉴定和特性研究。匀浆是在N-甲基葡糖胺(NMG)/葡萄糖酸盐的Na⁺/Cl⁻替代物中制备的。为了确定培养基成分如何影响钙离子释放,我们用各种糖类或甘氨酸替代了NMG,发现三磷酸肌醇介导的钙离子释放有显著改善。相反,对环磷酸腺苷二磷酸核糖的反应减弱,而烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸不受影响。因此,在未来的研究中,使用匀浆研究钙离子释放时,改变培养基成分可能是一个重要的考虑因素。
