Abstract:
:Accumulating evidence indicates that astrocytes are actively involved in the physiological and pathophysiological functions of the brain. Intracellular Ca2+ signaling, especially Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), is considered to be crucial for the regulation of astrocytic functions. Mice with genetic deletion of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 2 (IP3 R2) are reportedly devoid of astrocytic Ca2+ signaling, and thus widely used to explore the roles of Ca2+ signaling in astrocytic functions. While functional deficits in IP3 R2-knockout (KO) mice have been found in some reports, no functional deficit was observed in others. Thus, there remains a controversy regarding the functional significance of astrocytic Ca2+ signaling. To address this controversy, we re-evaluated the assumption that Ca2+ release from the ER is abolished in IP3 R2-KO astrocytes using a highly sensitive imaging technique. We expressed the ER luminal Ca2+ indicator G-CEPIA1er in cortical and hippocampal astrocytes to directly visualize spontaneous and stimulus-induced Ca2+ release from the ER. We found attenuated but significant Ca2+ release in response to application of norepinephrine to IP3 R2-KO astrocytes. This IP3 R2-independent Ca2+ release induced only minimal cytosolic Ca2+ transients but induced robust Ca2+ increases in mitochondria that are frequently in close contact with the ER. These results indicate that ER Ca2+ release is retained and is sufficient to increase the Ca2+ concentration in close proximity to the ER in IP3 R2-KO astrocytes.
