The fluorescent dye fura-2 AM was employed to record activation of Ca entry in response to a decrease in Ca concentration in the endoplasmic reticulum. Using whole-cell voltage clamp technique, we revealed Ca currents with an amplitude of 0.46±0.13 pA/pF that passed through selective channels with current-voltage characteristics similar to those of classical store-operated CRAC channels. These currents were sensitive to 2-APB (50 μM), an inhibitor of store-operated channels. The data suggest that store-operated calcium entry is a characteristic feature of mature ventricular cardiomyocytes. Pathological alterations in store-operated Ca entry can be implicated in the development of heart diseases.
使用荧光染料fura-2 AM记录内质网中钙浓度降低时钙内流的激活情况。采用全细胞膜片钳技术,我们发现了幅度为0.46±0.13 pA/pF的钙电流,该电流通过具有与经典的储存操纵性CRAC通道相似电流-电压特性的选择性通道。这些电流对储存操纵性通道的抑制剂2-APB(50 μM)敏感。数据表明,储存操纵性钙内流是成熟心室心肌细胞的一个特征。储存操纵性钙内流的病理改变可能与心脏病的发生有关。
