The effects of ouabain, Li+ and veratridine on the concentration of cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) were studied in single fura-2-loaded bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. Superfusion of cells with ouabain (10 microM for 60 min) caused only a delayed mild increase of the Ca2+]i, from around 0.1 microM to 0.2-0.3 microM; this increase was Nao(+)-dependent. Replacement of all NaCl of the Krebs-Hepes solution by LiCl (144 mM) produced a gradual increase of [Ca2+]i, which remained elevated at a stable plateau of 0.4-0.5 microM for 40-50 min. When ouabain (in the presence of normal Nao+) or Li+ (in the absence of Nao+) was given in Krebs-Hepes solution containing no Ca2+, the reintroduction of 2.5 mM Ca2+ produced a fast elevation of the [Ca2+]i. In the case of ouabain-treated cells, the [Ca2+]i curve exhibited an initial phasic component which inactivated to a tonic component. omega-Conotoxin MVIIC (3 microM) and R56865 (10 microM) inhibited the phasic but not the tonic component. Veratridine (30 microM) induced large [Ca2+]i oscillations. Both ouabain or Li+ abolished such oscillations. These results are compatible with ouabain causing elevation of [Ca2+]i in bovine chromaffin cells through a dual mechanism, i.e. cell depolarisation and slowing down of the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger of their plasmalemma. Through its binding to the Na+ site on the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger, Li+ ions generate powerful Cai2+ signals that might be relevant to its known effects on neurosecretory mechanisms.
在单个用fura - 2加载的牛肾上腺嗜铬细胞中,研究了哇巴因、Li⁺和藜芦定对胞质游离Ca²⁺浓度([Ca²⁺]i)的影响。用哇巴因(10 μM,作用60分钟)对细胞进行灌流,仅引起[Ca²⁺]i延迟性轻度升高,从约0.1 μM升至0.2 - 0.3 μM;这种升高依赖于Naₒ⁺。用LiCl(144 mM)替代Krebs - Hepes溶液中的所有NaCl,使[Ca²⁺]i逐渐升高,并在0.4 - 0.5 μM的稳定平台期保持升高40 - 50分钟。当在不含Ca²⁺的Krebs - Hepes溶液中加入哇巴因(在正常Naₒ⁺存在下)或Li⁺(在无Naₒ⁺时)后,再加入2.5 mM Ca²⁺会使[Ca²⁺]i快速升高。对于用哇巴因处理的细胞,[Ca²⁺]i曲线呈现出一个初始的相位成分,该成分会失活为一个紧张性成分。ω - 芋螺毒素MVIIC(3 μM)和R56865(10 μM)抑制相位成分,但不抑制紧张性成分。藜芦定(30 μM)诱导[Ca²⁺]i大幅振荡。哇巴因或Li⁺均可消除这种振荡。这些结果与哇巴因通过双重机制导致牛嗜铬细胞中[Ca²⁺]i升高相符,即细胞去极化和其质膜上Na⁺ - Ca²⁺交换器的减慢。通过与Na⁺ - Ca²⁺交换器上的Na⁺位点结合,Li⁺离子产生强大的Ca²⁺信号,这可能与其对神经分泌机制的已知作用相关。
