Interaction of ionized magnesium ([Mg2+]o) and caffeine in regulation of intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in human aortic endothelial cells was studied using fura-2 and digital imaging microscopy. In 1.2 mM [Mg2+]o, basal [Ca2+]i was 73.7 +/- 22.4 nM, with a heterogeneous distribution within the cells. No significant changes of basal [Ca2+]i were found either when cells were treated with 10 mM caffeine or when [Mg2+]o was lowered from 1.2 mM to 0.3 mM. However, a combined superfusion of the cells with 0.3 mM [Mg2+]o and 10 mM caffeine resulted in a significant elevation of [Ca2+]i to 382.8 +/- 57.1 nM, probably by release of Ca2+ from internal stores, which was attenuated by NiCl2 (1 mM). These results suggest that a Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release mechanism is involved in regulation of [Ca2+]i in endothelial cells, which may be either regulated or modulated by Mg2+.
采用fura - 2和数字成像显微镜研究了离子化镁([Mg2 + ]o)与咖啡因在调节人主动脉内皮细胞内游离钙浓度([Ca2 + ]i)中的相互作用。在1.2 mM [Mg2 + ]o条件下,基础[Ca2 + ]i为73.7±22.4 nM,在细胞内呈异质性分布。当细胞用10 mM咖啡因处理或[Mg2 + ]o从1.2 mM降至0.3 mM时,基础[Ca2 + ]i均未发现显著变化。然而,细胞同时用0.3 mM [Mg2 + ]o和10 mM咖啡因进行灌注会导致[Ca2 + ]i显著升高至382.8±57.1 nM,这可能是由于细胞内钙库释放Ca2 + 所致,而这种升高会被1 mM的NiCl2减弱。这些结果表明,Ca(2 + )诱导的Ca2 + 释放机制参与了内皮细胞中[Ca2 + ]i的调节,并且该机制可能受Mg2 + 的调控或调节。
