Ca signaling is an essential function of neurons to control synaptic activity, memory formation, fertilization, proliferation, etc. Protein and voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs) maintain an adequate level of calcium concentration ([Ca]). An alteration in [Ca] leads to the death of the neurons that start the primary symptoms of the disease. The present study deals with cell memory-based mathematical modeling of Ca that is characterized by the presence of protein and VDCC. We developed a two-dimensional Ca neuronal model to study the spatiotemporal behavior of the Ca profile. All principal parameters like buffer concentration, diffusion coefficient, VDCC fluxes, etc. are incorporated in this model. Apposite initial and boundary conditions are applied to the physiology of the problem. We obtained an approximate Ca profile by the fractional integral transform method. The application of obtained results is performed to provide its implications to estimate the [Ca] in neurodegenerative disease. It is observed that the protein and VDCC provide a significant impact in the presence of cell memory. The memory of cells shrinks the Ca flow from elevation and provides better results to estimated Ca flow in the disease state.
钙信号传导是神经元控制突触活动、记忆形成、受精、增殖等的一项基本功能。蛋白质依赖性和电压依赖性钙通道(VDCCs)维持着适当水平的钙浓度([Ca])。[Ca]的改变会导致神经元死亡,从而引发疾病的主要症状。本研究涉及基于细胞记忆的钙数学建模,其特征在于存在蛋白质和VDCC。我们开发了一个二维钙神经元模型来研究钙分布的时空行为。所有主要参数,如缓冲浓度、扩散系数、VDCC通量等都纳入了该模型。适切的初始条件和边界条件应用于该问题的生理学。我们通过分数积分变换方法获得了一个近似的钙分布。对所得结果进行应用,以阐述其在估计神经退行性疾病中[Ca]方面的意义。据观察,在存在细胞记忆的情况下,蛋白质和VDCC会产生显著影响。细胞记忆减少了钙从升高状态的流动,并为疾病状态下估计的钙流动提供了更好的结果。
