Peden DL, Mitchell EA, Bailey SJ, Ferguson RA. Ischaemic preconditioning blunts exercise-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, speeds oxygen uptake kinetics but does not alter severe-intensity exercise capacity. Exp Physiol 2022; 107:1241-1254. [PMID: 36030522 PMCID: PMC9826326 DOI: 10.1113/ep090264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? Ischaemic preconditioning is a novel pre-exercise priming strategy. We asked whether ischaemic preconditioning would alter mitochondrial respiratory function and pulmonary oxygen uptake kinetics and improve severe-intensity exercise performance. What is the main finding and its importance? Ischaemic preconditioning expedited overall pulmonary oxygen uptake kinetics and appeared to prevent an increase in leak respiration, proportional to maximal electron transfer system and ADP-stimulated respiration, that was evoked by severe-intensity exercise in sham-control conditions. However, severe-intensity exercise performance was not improved. The results do not support ischaemic preconditioning as a pre-exercise strategy to improve exercise performance in recreationally active participants. ABSTRACT We examined the effect of ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) on severe-intensity exercise performance, pulmonary oxygen uptake ( V ̇ O 2 ${\dot V_{{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}}}$ ) kinetics, skeletal muscle oxygenation (muscle tissue O2 saturation index) and mitochondrial respiration. Eight men underwent contralateral IPC (4 × 5 min at 220 mmHg) or sham-control (SHAM; 20 mmHg) before performing a cycling time-to-exhaustion test (92% maximum aerobic power). Muscle (vastus lateralis) biopsies were obtained before IPC or SHAM and ∼1.5 min postexercise. The time to exhaustion did not differ between SHAM and IPC (249 ± 37 vs. 240 ± 32 s; P = 0.62). Pre- and postexercise ADP-stimulated (P) and maximal (E) mitochondrial respiration through protein complexes (C) I, II and IV did not differ (P > 0.05). Complex I leak respiration was greater postexercise compared with baseline in SHAM, but not in IPC, when normalized to wet mass (P = 0.01 vs. P = 0.19), mitochondrial content (citrate synthase activity, P = 0.003 vs. P = 0.16; CI+IIP, P = 0.03 vs. P = 0.23) and expressed relative to P (P = 0.006 vs. P = 0.30) and E (P = 0.004 vs. P = 0.26). The V ̇ O 2 ${\dot V_{{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}}}$ mean response time was faster (51.3 ± 15.5 vs. 63.7 ± 14.5 s; P = 0.003), with a smaller slow component (270 ± 105 vs. 377 ± 188 ml min-1 ; P = 0.03), in IPC compared with SHAM. The muscle tissue O2 saturation index did not differ between trials (P > 0.05). Ischaemic preconditioning expedited V ̇ O 2 ${\dot V_{{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{2}}}}}$ kinetics and appeared to prevent an increase in leak respiration through CI, when expressed proportional to E and P evoked by severe-intensity exercise, but did not improve exercise performance.

Abstract
Mitochondria are organized in the cell in the form of a dynamic, interconnected network. Mitochondrial dynamics, regulated by mitochondrial fission, fusion, and trafficking, ensure restructuring of this complex reticulum in response to nutrient availability, molecular signals, and cellular stress. Aberrant mitochondrial structures have long been observed in aging and age-related diseases indicating that mitochondrial dynamics are compromised as cells age. However, the specific mechanisms by which aging affects mitochondrial dynamics and whether these changes are causally or casually associated with cellular and organismal aging is not clear. Here, we review recent studies that show specifically how mitochondrial fission, fusion, and trafficking are altered with age. We discuss factors that change with age to directly or indirectly influence mitochondrial dynamics while examining causal roles for altered mitochondrial dynamics in healthy aging and underlying functional outputs that might affect longevity. Lastly, we propose that altered mitochondrial dynamics might not just be a passive consequence of aging but might constitute an adaptive mechanism to mitigate age-dependent cellular impairments and might be targeted to increase longevity and promote healthy aging.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ketone bodies (KB) are products of fatty acid oxidation and serve as essential fuels during fasting or treatment with the high-fat antiseizure ketogenic diet (KD). Despite growing evidence that KB exert broad neuroprotective effects, their role in seizure control has not been firmly demonstrated. The major goal of this study was to demonstrate the direct antiseizure effects of KB and to identify an underlying target mechanism. METHODS We studied the effects of both the KD and KB in spontaneously epileptic Kcna1-null mice using a combination of behavioral, planar multielectrode, and standard cellular electrophysiological techniques. Thresholds for mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) were determined in acutely isolated brain mitochondria. RESULTS KB alone were sufficient to: (1) exert antiseizure effects in Kcna1-null mice, (2) restore intrinsic impairment of hippocampal long-term potentiation and spatial learning-memory defects in Kcna1-null mutants, and (3) raise the threshold for calcium-induced mPT in acutely prepared mitochondria from hippocampi of Kcna1-null animals. Targeted deletion of the cyclophilin D subunit of the mPT complex abrogated the effects of KB on mPT, and in vivo pharmacological inhibition and activation of mPT were found to mirror and reverse, respectively, the antiseizure effects of the KD in Kcna1-null mice. INTERPRETATION The present data reveal the first direct link between mPT and seizure control, and provide a potential mechanistic explanation for the KD. Given that mPT is increasingly being implicated in diverse neurological disorders, our results suggest that metabolism-based treatments and/or metabolic substrates might represent a worthy paradigm for therapeutic development.

Abstract
Within single cells there is a complex myriad of signaling which controls physiological process many of which are modulated, or signaled directly, by intracellular calcium ions. Understanding the exquisitely sensitive, and spatially restricted, changes in calcium has been of interest to the researcher for a number of years. Recent advances in this field have been driven by the development of genetically encoded calcium probes for detecting calcium changes within the cells specifically targeting organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and the nucleus. In this chapter the authors outline some of the available fluorescent probes, with particular emphasis on an endoplasmic reticulum targeted calcium biosensor in cell signaling studies with astrocytes, detailing experimental protocols and the interpretation of data from such probes.

Effects of exposure to a time-varying 1.5 T magnetic field on the neurotransmitter-activated increase in intracellular Ca(2+) in relation to actin fiber and mitochondrial functions in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2010; 1800:1221-30. [PMID: 20832450 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2010.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2009] [Revised: 09/01/2010] [Accepted: 09/03/2010] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been reported that exposure to electromagnetic fields influences intracellular signal transduction. We studied the effects of exposure to a time-varying 1.5 T magnetic field on membrane properties, membrane cation transport and intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization in relation to signals. We also studied the mechanism of the effect of exposure to the magnetic field on intracellular Ca(2+) release from Ca(2+) stores in adrenal chromaffin cells. METHODS We measured the physiological functions of ER, actin protein, and mitochondria with respect to a neurotransmitter-induced increase in Ca(2+) in chromaffin cells exposed to the time-varying 1.5 T magnetic field for 2h. RESULTS Exposure to the magnetic field significantly reduced the increase in [Ca(2+)]i. The exposure depolarized the mitochondria membrane and lowered oxygen uptake, but did not reduce the intracellular ATP content. Magnetic field-exposure caused a morphological change in intracellular F-actin. F-actin in exposed cells seemed to be less dense than in control cells, but the decrease was smaller than that in cytochalasin D-treated cells. The increase in G-actin (i.e., the decrease in F-actin) due to exposure was recovered by jasplakinolide, but inhibition of Ca(2+) release by the exposure was unaffected. CONCLUSIONS AND GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE These results suggest that the magnetic field-exposure influenced both the ER and mitochondria, but the inhibition of Ca(2+) release from ER was not due to mitochondria inhibition. The effect of eddy currents induced in the culture medium may indirectly influence intracellular actin and suppress the transient increase in [Ca(2+)]i.

Abstract
A model of the active transport of ions through internal membranes of mitochondria is proposed. If concentrations of ions in a cell are known, this model allows calculating concentrations of all main ions (H(+), Ca(+2), K(+), Mg(2+), Na(+), Cl(-)) in the mitochondrion matrix and the resting potential across the membrane. The theoretical values satisfactorily agree with available experimental data on the concentrations and the potentials, including different operating regimes of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthetase (the main regime, short circuiting or ATP synthetase blocking). The active transport of Mg(2+) ions in exchange for protons was assumed. In accordance with the model, the ATP synthetase operation is possible only if the stoichiometric coefficient of protons is 3.

Abstract
Unfolded protein response (UPR) is an important genomic response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. The ER chaperones, GRP78 and Gadd153, play critical roles in cell survival or cell death as part of the UPR, which is regulated by three signaling pathways: PERK/ATF4, IRE1/XBP1 and ATF6. During the UPR, accumulated unfolded protein is either correctly refolded, or unsuccessfully refolded and degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. When the unfolded protein exceeds a threshold, damaged cells are committed to cell death, which is mediated by ATF4 and ATF6, as well as activation of the JNK/AP-1/Gadd153-signaling pathway. Gadd153 suppresses activation of Bcl-2 and NF-kappaB. UPR-mediated cell survival or cell death is regulated by the balance of GRP78 and Gadd153 expression, which is coregulated by NF-kappaB in accordance with the magnitude of ER stress. Less susceptibility to cell death upon activation of the UPR may contribute to tumor progression and drug resistance of solid tumors.

Abstract
The clinical use of cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II) is highly limited by its nephrotoxicity. The precise mechanisms involved in cisplatin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in kidney have not been completely clarified. Therefore, we investigated in vivo the effects of cisplatin on mitochondrial bioenergetics, redox state, and oxidative stress as well as the occurrence of cell death by apoptosis in cisplatin-treated rat kidney. Adult male Wistar rats weighing 200-220 g were divided into two groups. The control group (n = 8) was treated only with an intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of saline solution (1 ml per 100 g body weight), and the cisplatin group (n = 8) was given a single injection of cisplatin (10 mg/kg body weight, i.p.). Animals were sacrificed 72 h after the treatment. The cisplatin group presented acute renal failure characterized by increased plasmatic creatinine and urea levels. Mitochondrial dysfunction was evidenced by the decline in membrane electrochemical potential and the substantial decrease in mitochondrial calcium uptake. The mitochondrial antioxidant defense system was depleted, as shown by decreased GSH and NADPH levels, GSH/GSSG ratio, and increased GSSG level. Moreover, cisplatin induced oxidative damage to mitochondrial lipids, including cardiolipin, and oxidation of mitochondrial proteins, as demonstrated by the significant decrease of sulfhydryl protein concentrations and increased levels of carbonylated proteins. Additionally, aconitase activity, which is essential for mitochondrial function, was also found to be lower in the cisplatin group. Renal cell death via apoptosis was evidenced by the increased caspase-3 activity. Results show the central role of mitochondria and the intensification of apoptosis in cisplatin-induced acute renal failure, highlighting a number of steps that might be targeted to minimize cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
The mitochondrial calcium and downstream proline-rich tyrosine kinase-2 (PyK2) signaling pathway are critical to hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication, and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays an important role in intracellular calcium regulation. To investigate the role of ER in HBV replication, the HBV genome transfected HepG2.2.15 cells were treated by cyclosporine A (CsA), cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), ryanodine and U73122, which are all specific blockers of calcium channels located in either ER or mitochondria. The HBV replication level was evaluated by two methods: slot blot hybridization analysis of intracellular HBV DNA and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of secreted HBV DNA in supernatant; the activation of PyK2 kinase was detected by Western blot analysis. Results indicated that the HBV replication was inhibited when mitochondrial permeability transition pore, ER Ca2+ -ATPase and ER inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) were blocked by CsA, CPA and U73122, respectively; but not inhibited when ER ryanodine receptor was blocked by ryanodine. The PyK2 phosphorylation level declined after treatment of 2 microg/ml CsA, 5 microM CPA and 25 microM U73122, but not changed apparently after 50 microM ryanodine treatment. Compared with monotreatment, a more powerful inhibitory effect was achieved when the CsA, CPA and U73122 were combined used in twosome or triple manner, while the HBV replication level did not change apparently when ryanodine combined with CsA, CPA or U73122. In conclusion, besides the mitochondria, the ER also participates in the HBV replication through calcium-PyK2 signaling pathway; the calcium channels of ER Ca2+ -ATPase and ER IP3R are responsible for this role; during this complicated process, an interaction between ER and mitochondria maybe involved.

Abstract
Mitochondria play an important role in regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis in a cell. Here we present a mathematical model of mitochondrial ion transport and use this model to analyse different modes of Ca2+ uptake by mitochondria. The model includes transport of H+, Ca2+, K+, inorganic phosphate and oxidative substrates across the inner mitochondrial membrane harboring permeability transition pore (PTP). The detailed description of ion fluxes is based on the experimental ion kinetics in isolated mitochondria. Using the model we show that the kinetics of Ca2+ uptake by mitochondria is regulated by the total amount of Ca2+ in the system and the rate of Ca2+ infusion. Varying these parameters we find three different modes of ion transport. When the total amount of Ca2+ is below 140 nmol Ca2+/mg protein, all available Ca2+ is accumulated in the matrix without activation of the PTP. Between 140 and 160 nmol Ca2+/mg protein, accumulation of Ca2+ generates periodic opening and closure of the PTP and oscillations of ion fluxes. Higher levels of Ca2+ (> 160 nmol Ca2+/mg protein) result in a permanently open PTP, membrane depolarization and loss of small ions from the matrix. We show that in the intermediate range of Ca2+ concentrations the rate of Ca2+ infusion regulates the PTP state, so that slow Ca2+ infusion does not lead to PTP opening, while fast Ca2+ infusion results in an oscillatory state.

Abstract
The fundamental contribution of the mitochondria and ER to the decision made on the cell's fate has been increasingly recognized. This progress has illuminated the need for the mechanisms these organelles use to initiate and to propagate apoptotic signals. The toolbox of the mitochondria and ER is evolutionary conserved, overlapping and complementary. Furthermore, mitochondria are often closely associated with the ER providing the conditions for a local and privileged communication between the two organelles. The present review is concerned with the spatially and temporally coordinated utilization of Bcl-2 family proteins and Ca(2+) by the mitochondria and ER to control the membrane permeabilization in the mitochondria and to regulate Ca(2+) distribution and the activity of apoptotic proteins in the ER. The apoptotic means of the mitochondria and ER will eventually come together to control the dismantling of the cell by the caspases and other enzymes.

Abstract
Functional role of peripheral benzodiazepine receptor on mitochondrial membrane in apoptosis and insulin secretion from insulinoma cells was studied. A prototypic peripheral benzodiazepine receptor agonist PK11195 induced insulinoma cell apoptosis, while a central benzodiazepine receptor agonist did not. Death of insulinoma cells by PK11195 was inhibited by cyclosporin A, a blocker of mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Caspase inhibitors further inhibited MIN6N8 cell death. PK11195 induced dissipation of mitochondrial potential and cytochrome c translocation to cytoplasm. PK11195 induced an increase in cytoplasmic [Ca(2+)], which was reversed by cyclosporin A. Rhod-2 staining showed decreased mitochondrial [Ca(2+)] after PK11195 treatment. PK11195 potentiated glucose-induced insulin secretion probably due to the increased cytoplasmic [Ca(2+)]. Calpain was activated following Ca(2+) release, and calpain inhibitors attenuated death of insulinoma cells by PK11195. These results suggest that PK11195 induces mitochondrial potential loss, cytochrome c translocation, increased insulin secretion in conjunction with an increase in cytoplasmic [Ca(2+)] and calpain activation, which collectively leads to apoptosis of insulinoma cells.

Abstract
Mitochondria play an essential role in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle Ca(2+) signaling being simultaneously integrated in the regulation of ion channels and Ca(2+) transporters, oxygen radical production, metabolite recycling and intracellular redox potential. Mitochondria buffer Ca(2+) from cytoplasmic microdomains to alter the spatio-temporal pattern of Ca(2+) gradients following Ca(2+)-influx and Ca(2+)-release, and thus control site-specific, Ca(2+)-dependent ion channel activation and inactivation. The sub-cellular localization of mitochondria in conjunction with tissue-specific channel expression is fundamental to vascular heterogeneity. The mitochondrial electron transport chain recycles metabolic intermediates that modulate cellular redox potential and produces oxygen radicals in proportion to oxygen tension. Perturbation of specific complexes within the transport chain can affects NADH:NAD and ATP:ADP ratios and radical production, which can in turn influence second messenger metabolism, ion channel gating and Ca(2+)-transporter activity. Mitochondria thus provide the common ground for cross-talk between these regulatory systems that are mutually sensitive to one another. This cross-talk between signaling systems provides a means to render the physiological regulation of vascular tone responsive to complex stimulation by paracrine and endocrine factors, blood pressure and flow, tissue oxygenation and metabolic state.

Abstract
There have been remarkable advances in molecular and cell biology that define the mechanisms of how various supplements function in and around cells. Current evidence strongly supports the probability that cellular functions and cellular responses that pertain to inflammation, disease, and life and death activity can be modulated with supplementation; however, the complexity of each individual's reaction and the vast differences in physiologic influences makes clinical research difficult in regard to clinical studies using antioxidant and biologic therapies. Not enough is known specifically about each supplement and its interactions with cells, nor is enough understood about how the body compensates or reacts to such applications. What works well in one individual or species might work differently in another. In addition, not all antioxidants are created equally, and discrepancies in purity and absorption can occur. It must also be determined whether or not less than optimum levels or infrequent usage will produce the same physiological effects. Not everyone--nor every species of animal--responds in the same manner to supplements, which might account for the variations in clinical research. The cellular effects of antioxidants and other supplements are well defined and meaningful, and their clinical application looks promising despite individual variations. Combinations of antioxidants are synergistic and support cellular functions, effects that are often not apparent with individual agents. Such combinations offer a variety of mechanisms for reducing oxygen metabolites in tissues, altering signaling pathways, and modulating transcription factors, and they might play key roles in reducing the damage afforded by ROS. It is the author's opinion that combinations of antioxidants are best suited for clinical application in modulating disease and reducing premature aging when caused by excessive free radical accumulation. Clinicians should approach clinical application of these supplements based on the best available scientific research and species-specific information available.

Abstract
Numerous cellular processes are regulated by fluctuations in the concentration of a single cation, Ca(2+). To accomplish this feat, cells have developed mechanisms that target Ca(2+) signals to specific effectors in both space, by strategically localizing effectors and ion-transporting molecules, and time, by encoding the regulation of the frequency of Ca(2+) oscillations. With an emphasis on smooth muscle, we have analyzed how the interaction of Ca(2+) transporters located on closely apposing membranes of the plasma membrane, sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria provides the structural foundation for site-specific and time-specific Ca(2+) signaling. These junctional membrane complexes can either control the concentration of Ca(2+) in the microdomain that surrounds an effector molecule or deliver Ca(2+) from the translocator on one membrane to a second translocator on the opposing membrane without significant diffusion into the bulk cytosol, an event we term 'linked Ca(2+) transport'.

Abstract
Mitochondrial proteins such as uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) and adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) may mediate back-leakage of protons and serve as uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation. We hypothesized that UCP3 and ANT increase after prolonged exercise and/or endurance training, resulting in increased uncoupled respiration (UCR). Subjects were investigated with muscle biopsies before and after acute exercise (75 min of cycling at 70% of .VO2peak) or 6 weeks endurance training. Mitochondria were isolated and respiration measured in the absence (UCR or state 4) and presence of ADP (coupled respiration or state 3). Protein expression of UCP3 and ANT was measured with Western blotting. After endurance training, .VO2peak, citrate synthase activity (CS), state 3 respiration and ANT increased by 24, 47, 40 and 95%, respectively (all P < 0.05), whereas UCP3 remained unchanged. When expressed per unit of CS (a marker of mitochondrial volume) UCP3 and UCR decreased by 54% and 18%(P < 0.05). CS increased by 43% after acute exercise and remained elevated after 3 h of recovery (P < 0.05), whereas the other muscle parameters remained unchanged. An intriguing finding was that acute exercise reversibly enhanced the capacity of mitochondria to accumulate Ca2+(P < 0.05) before opening of permeability transition pores. In conclusion, UCP3 protein and UCR decrease after endurance training when related to mitochondrial volume. These changes may prevent excessive basal thermogenesis. Acute exercise enhances mitochondrial resistance to Ca2+ overload but does not influence UCR or protein expression of UCP3 and ANT. The increased Ca2+ resistance may prevent mitochondrial degradation and the mechanism needs to be further explored.

Abstract
Collagen VI is an extracellular matrix protein that forms a microfilamentous network in skeletal muscles and other organs. Inherited mutations in genes encoding collagen VI in humans cause two muscle diseases, Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy. We previously generated collagen VI-deficient (Col6a1-/-) mice and showed that they have a muscle phenotype that strongly resembles Bethlem myopathy. The pathophysiological defects and mechanisms leading to the myopathic disorder were not known. Here we show that Col6a1-/- muscles have a loss of contractile strength associated with ultrastructural alterations of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and mitochondria and spontaneous apoptosis. We found a latent mitochondrial dysfunction in myofibers of Col6a1-/- mice on incubation with the selective F1F(O)-ATPase inhibitor oligomycin, which caused mitochondrial depolarization, Ca2+ deregulation and increased apoptosis. These defects were reversible, as they could be normalized by plating Col6a1-/- myofibers on collagen VI or by addition of cyclosporin A (CsA), the inhibitor of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP). Treatment of Col6a1-/- mice with CsA rescued the muscle ultrastructural defects and markedly decreased the number of apoptotic nuclei in vivo. These findings indicate that collagen VI myopathies have an unexpected mitochondrial pathogenesis that could be exploited for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Mitochondria have been found to sequester and release Ca2+ during cell stimulation with inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate-generating agonists, thereby generating subplasmalemmal microdomains of low Ca2+ that sustain activity of capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE). Procedures that prevent mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake inhibit local Ca2+ buffering and CCE, but it is not clear whether Ca2+ has to transit through or remains trapped in the mitochondria. Thus, we analyzed the contribution of mitochondrial Ca2+ efflux on the ability of mitochondria to buffer subplasmalemmal Ca2+, to maintain CCE, and to facilitate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) refilling in endothelial cells. Upon the addition of histamine, the initial mitochondrial Ca2+ transient, monitored with ratio-metric-pericam-mitochondria, was largely independent of extracellular Ca2+. However, subsequent removal of extracellular Ca2+ produced a reversible decrease in [Ca2+]mito, indicating that Ca2+ was continuously taken up and released by mitochondria, although [Ca2+]mito had returned to basal levels. Accordingly, inhibition of the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger with CGP 37157 increased [Ca2+]mito and abolished the ability of mitochondria to buffer subplasmalemmal Ca2+, resulting in an increased activity of BKCa channels and a decrease in CCE. Hence, CGP 37157 also reversibly inhibited ER refilling during cell stimulation. These effects of CGP 37157 were mimicked if mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake was prevented with oligomycin/antimycin A. Thus, during cell stimulation a continuous Ca2+ flux through mitochondria underlies the ability of mitochondria to generate subplasmalemmal microdomains of low Ca2+, to facilitate CCE, and to relay Ca2+ from the plasma membrane to the ER.

Abstract
The free ER Ca(2+) concentration, [Ca(2+)](ER), is a key parameter that determines both the spatio-temporal pattern of Ca(2+) signals as well as the activity of ER-resident enzymes. Obtaining accurate, time-resolved measurements of the Ca(2+) activity within the ER is thus critical for our understanding of cell signaling. Such measurements, however, are particularly challenging given the highly dynamic nature of Ca(2+) signals, the complex architecture of the ER, and the difficulty of addressing probes specifically into the ER lumen. Prompted by these challenges, a number of ingenious approaches have been developed over the last years to measure ER Ca(2+) by optical means. The two main strategies used to date are Ca(2+)-sensitive synthetic dyes trapped into organelles and genetically encoded probes, based either on the photoprotein aequorin or on the green fluorescent protein (GFP). The GFP-based Ca(2+) indicators comprise the camgaroo and pericam probes based on a circularly permutated GFP, and the cameleon probes, which rely on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between two GFP mutants of different colors. Each approach offers unique advantages and suffers from specific drawbacks. In this review, we will discuss the advantages and pitfalls of using the genetically encoded "cameleon" Ca(2+) indicators for ER Ca(2+) measurements.

Abstract
ATP, when leaked from damaged cells, is capable of eliciting responses in neighboring cells. A better understanding of the mechanism of this response is essential for designing therapeutic strategies for disease, there have been only a limited number of studies on the effect of ATP on the human cornea. We examined ATP-induced intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) changes in the human corneal epithelia, cultured to near confluence. Cells were loaded with the Ca2+ indicators, Indo-1 or Fluo-4, and [Ca2+]i was monitored. ATP was found to induce an increase in [Ca2+]i, which was initiated from the perinuclear region and the nuclear envelope per se, and then propagated gradually towards the periphery. Intranuclear Ca2+ was momentarily increased. UTP elicited an identical response, but adenosine and alpha, beta-methylene ATP had no effect. Pretreatment with U73122 or thapsigargin inhibited the ATP-induced increase in [Ca2+]i. When a cell was topically stimulated with ATP, the [Ca2+]i increase spread beyond the cell boundary. The intercellular communications that accompanied the [Ca2+]i changes were inhibited by octanol. We conclude that extracellular ATP in the human cornea caused the mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular Ca2+ stores (e.g. the endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope) via P2Y purinoceptors of the epithelial cell. The response to ATP appears to spread to neighboring regions through gap junctions in the epithelium.

Abstract
In many cell types, IP(3) and ryanodine receptor (IP(3)R/RyR)-mediated Ca(2+) mobilization from the sarcoendoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) results in an elevation of mitochondrial matrix [Ca(2+)]. Although delivery of the released Ca(2+) to the mitochondria has been established as a fundamental signaling process, the molecular mechanism underlying mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake remains a challenge for future studies. The Ca(2+) uptake can be divided into the following three steps: (1) Ca(2+) movement from the IP(3)R/RyR to the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM); (2) Ca(2+) transport through the OMM; and (3) Ca(2+) transport through the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM). Evidence has been presented that Ca(2+) delivery to the OMM is facilitated by a local coupling between closely apposed regions of the ER/SR and mitochondria. Recent studies of the dynamic changes in mitochondrial morphology and visualization of the subcellular pattern of the calcium signal provide important clues to the organization of the ER/SR-mitochondrial interface. Interestingly, key steps of phospholipid synthesis and transfer to the mitochondria have also been confined to subdomains of the ER tightly associated with the mitochondria, referred as mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs). Through the OMM, the voltage-dependent anion channels (VDAC, porin) have been thought to permit free passage of ions and other small molecules. However, recent studies suggest that the VDAC may represent a regulated step in Ca(2+) transport from IP(3)R/RyR to the IMM. A novel proposal regarding the IMM Ca(2+) uptake site is a mitochondrial RyR that would mediate rapid Ca(2+) uptake by mitochondria in excitable cells. An overview of the progress in these directions is described in the present paper.
