Measurement of cytoplasmic free calcium, [Ca2+]i, in single human endothelial cells has shown that low doses of the inflammatory mediator histamine evoke asynchronous repetitive spikes in [Ca2+]i whereas high doses cause a maintained elevated [Ca2+]i. We discuss possible regulatory mechanisms, and the potential physiological and pathological implications of such a frequency-modulated [Ca2+]i signalling system.
对单个人类内皮细胞中细胞质游离钙([Ca2+]i)的测量表明,低剂量的炎症介质组胺会引发[Ca2+]i的异步重复尖峰,而高剂量则会导致[Ca2+]i持续升高。我们讨论了可能的调节机制,以及这种频率调制的[Ca2+]i信号系统的潜在生理和病理意义。
