In superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons calcium-induced calcium release (CICR), mediated by ryanodine receptors (RyRs), contributes to stimulation-evoked intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)) transients.
The contribution of CICR to electrical field stimulation (EFS)-evoked Ca(2+) transients in SCG cells declines with senescence and may be partially recovered in the presence of caffeine. We measured EFS-evoked Ca(2+) transients in isolated fura-2-loaded SCG cells from Fischer-344 rats aged 6, 12, and 24 months with either the RyR antagonist ryanodine to block the contribution of CICR to Ca(2+) transients or caffeine to sensitize CICR to EFS. EFS-evoked Ca(2+) transients increased from 6 to 12 months and declined at 24 months and ryanodine decreased Ca(2+) transients in SCG cells from 6- and 12-month-old animals only. Caffeine significantly increased EFS-evoked Ca(2+) transients in all age groups. These data suggest that CICR declines with senescence and residual CICR function may be reclaimed in senescent cells with caffeine.
在颈上神经节(SCG)神经元中,由兰尼碱受体(RyRs)介导的钙诱导钙释放(CICR)有助于刺激诱发的细胞内钙(Ca(2+))瞬变。
CICR对SCG细胞中电场刺激(EFS)诱发的Ca(2+)瞬变的贡献随衰老而下降,并且在咖啡因存在的情况下可能部分恢复。我们用RyR拮抗剂兰尼碱阻断CICR对Ca(2+)瞬变的贡献,或用咖啡因使CICR对EFS敏感,测量了来自6、12和24月龄Fischer-344大鼠的分离的负载fura-2的SCG细胞中EFS诱发的Ca(2+)瞬变。EFS诱发的Ca(2+)瞬变从6个月到12个月增加,在24个月时下降,并且兰尼碱仅降低了6月龄和12月龄动物的SCG细胞中的Ca(2+)瞬变。咖啡因在所有年龄组中均显著增加了EFS诱发的Ca(2+)瞬变。这些数据表明,CICR随衰老而下降,并且衰老细胞中残留的CICR功能可能通过咖啡因恢复。
