Effects of Calcium Depletion on the Junctional Complex Between Oxyntic Cells of Gastric Glands

Abstract: A B S T R A C TIn order to ascertain the role of calcium in maintaining the structure of the junctional complex between oxyntic cells, control gastric mucosae of the frog Rana pipiens were compared with those exposed to 1 to 4 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Changes in transmucosal potential difference and mucosal conductance were monitored. In one case a piece of EDTA-treated mucosa was washed and placed in a Ca++-containing solution. Material from all three categories was prepared for electron mic… Show more

“…These results suggest that involucrin-positive cells growing as a monolayer already have the properties that will determine their suprabasal position . Calcium ions are required for the formation of desmosomes (28) and tight junctions (20) and it seems likely that the only effect of increasing the concentration of calcium ions in the medium is to allow these intimate cell contacts to form. The ability to stratify is an intrinsic property of a mixed population of keratinocytes at different stages of terminal differentiation .…”

“…We therefore asked (i) whether MDP induces NOD2 signaling in a polarized manner, and (ii) whether FRMPD2 is involved in compartmentalized NOD2 signaling. To this aim, we used small intestinal organ cultures from WT and Nod2 KO mice and disrupted epithelial junctions by calcium depletion to facilitate substance diffusion to the basolateral compartment (26,27) or left tissue in normal media. MDP-mediated KC release was only induced in calcium-free cultured intestinal segments from WT mice, not in Nod2-deficient mice (Fig.…”

“…It has long been recognized that calcium is a key element for maintaining cellular adhesiveness, as shown from live tissues and cultured cells dissociating whenever exposed to a calcium-depleted environment [1,2]. Cadherins are Ca 2+ -dependent cell adhesion molecules that play a crucial role in homophilic cell-cell association [3].…”
