Depolarization evokes different patterns of calcium signals and exocytosis in bovine and mouse chromaffin cells: The role of mitochondria

Abstract

This study was planned on the assumptions that different high-voltage activated calcium channels and/or the ability of mitochondria to take up Ca(2+) could be responsible for different cytosolic Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](c)) and catecholamine release responses in adrenal chromaffin cells of bovine and mouse species. Short K(+) pulses (2-5 s, 70 mM K(+)) increased [Ca(2+)](c) to a peak of about 1 microM; however, in bovine cells the decline was slower than in mouse cells. Secretory responses were faster in mouse but were otherwise quantitatively similar. Upon longer K(+) applications (1 min), elevations of [Ca(2+)](c) and secretion were prolonged in bovine cells; in contrast [Ca(2+)](c) in mouse cells declined three-fold faster and failed to sustain a continued secretion. Confocal [Ca(2+)](c) imaging following a 50-ms depolarizing pulse showed a similar Ca(2+) entry, but a rate of [Ca(2+)](c) increase and a maximum peak significantly higher in bovine cells; the rate of dissipation of the Ca(2+) wave was faster in the mouse. The mitochondrial protonophore CCCP (2 microm) halved the K(+)-evoked [Ca(2+)](c) and secretory signals in mouse cells, but had little affect on bovine responses. We conclude that the relative densities of L (15% in bovine and 50% in mouse) and P/Q Ca(2+) channels (50% in bovine and 15% in mouse) do not contribute to the observed differences; rather, the different intracellular distribution of Ca(2+), which is strongly influenced by mitochondria, is responsible for a more sustained secretory response in bovine, and for a faster and more transient secretory response in mouse chromaffin cells. It seems that mitochondria near the plasmalemma sequester Ca(2+) more rapidly and efficiently in the mouse than in the bovine chromaffin cell.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Use of CCCP or FCCP decreases the Ca2+ buffering capacity of mitochondria and increases global exocytosis in bovine and rat chromaffin cells but not in the same cell type in mice.

    “In accordance with this theory, use of CCCP or FCCP decreases the Ca2+ buffering capacity of mitochondria and increases global exocytosis in bovine [164,165] and rat chromaffin cells [166] but not in the same cell type in mice [167], suggesting species differences.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
