The opening of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive Ca2+ channel in rat cerebellum is inhibited by caffeine

Abstract: Ins(1,4,5)P3(InsP3)-induced Ca2+ release and [3H]InsP3 binding were measured in rat cerebellar microsomes in the presence or absence of caffeine. The quantal Ca2+ release was shown to occur in an apparently co-operative fashion with a Hill coefficient (h) of 2.2. Half-maximal Ca2+ release was observed at 900 nM-InsP3. Addition of caffeine caused changes both to the concentration of InsP3 required to cause half-maximal Ca2+ release (3.9 microM at 50 mM-caffeine) and to the apparent co-operativity (h = 1.0 at 50… Show more

“…Therefore, these cells were ideal to study the non-RyR effects of 4CmC on intracellular [Ca 2+ ] levels. Figure 3 shows the effects of 4CmC (1 mM) and caffeine (5 mM) on intracellular A small decrease in fluorescence due to caffeine quenching of Fluo-3 was observed, and this phenomenon has been reported in other studies [3].…”

“…Persuasive evidence suggests that Ca 2þ release by RyR may be terminated before Ca 2þ stores are entirely depleted because luminal Ca 2þ is required to maintain RyR activity (Györke and Györke 1998;Launikonis et al 2006;Jiang et al 2008), possibly via its interaction with calsequestrin, a luminal high-capacity Ca 2þ -binding protein (Launikonis et al 2006;Terentyev et al 2006). A similar scheme has been proposed to account for two features of IP 3 -evoked Ca 2þ release: the initiation of Ca 2þ release after the quiescent interspike interval during repetitive Ca 2þ spikes (Berridge 2007) and quantal Ca 2þ release via IP 3 R. The latter describes the situation wherein unidirectional Ca 2þ efflux from intracellular stores terminates before the stores have fully emptied after stimulation with submaximally effective concentrations of IP 3 without loss of their ability to respond to a further increase in IP 3 concentration (Muallem et al 1989;Meyer and Stryer 1990;Taylor and Potter 1990;Oldershaw et al 1991;Bootman et al 1992;Brown et al 1992;Combettes et al 1992;Ferris et al 1992;Hirota et al 1995). The proposal is that luminal Ca 2þ sets the gain on the regulation by cytosolic IP 3 and Ca 2þ , so that as the luminal free Ca 2þ concentration falls, it causes the sensitivity of the IP 3 R to IP 3 to fall until, as Ca 2þ leaks from the ER, the IP 3 R closes despite the continued presence of cytosolic IP 3 and residual Ca 2þ within the ER (Irvine 1990).…”
