Rosas2015 - Caffeine-induced luminal SR calcium changes

ABSTRACT: This SBML model reproduced the calcium release from SR by application of 20 mM or 2mM caffeine, described in the paper. * Ca_i_Total and Ca_SR_Total respectively represent the total calcium concentration in the sarcoplasm and in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. * Ca_i and Ca_SR respectively represent the free calcium concentration in the sarcoplasm and the sarcoplasmic reticulum. * J1 is the calcium flux due to all mechanisms (except SERCA pumps) that remove the excess of calcium from the sarcoplasm. * J2 is the calcium flux from the reticulum to the sarcoplasm via the ryanodine receptors (RyR) present in the reticulum membrane. * J3 is the calcium flux from the sarcoplasm to the reticulum by the SERCA pumps located in the reticulum membrane. *The parameters are a, b, B c, Ca_i_basal, Ca_SR_basal, caff, csq, gamma, KC, kf, KR, Ks, nf, ns and nv. * The value of KC for the model were calculated for J2=J3, after substituting Ca_i=Ca_i_basal, Ca_SR=Ca_SR_basal and caff=0. * Po represents the RyR open probability based on CICR. * Caffeine (caff)** increases the calcium affinity of smooth muscle's RyR so they open even when calcium is at basal level. ** Due to caffeine-induced calcium release, a 5 seconds pulse of caffeine (20 mM) was applied (event called Caff_ON) at 10 seconds after the simulation starts. The event called Caff_OFF starts when the pulse of caffeine finished (caff=0). * PE denotes the concentration of calcium binding sites. * Xi=Ca_SR_Total+PE+KR *In order to reproduce the dynamics of calcium following the application of 2 mM of caffeine, the value of some parameters needs to be change: b=35, Ca_i_basal=9.257e-6, gamma=7.45, caff=0.002 and the initial condition for Ca_i_Total=9.257e-6. *The unit of the calcium concentration is mol/L. * The unit of time is second. *The original SBML code was exported from COPASI 4.12 (Build 81).

The process of Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) comprises 4 phases in smooth muscle cells. Phase 1 is characterized by a large increase of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) with a minimal reduction of the free luminal SR [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]FSR). Importantly, active SR Ca2+ ATPases (SERCA pumps) are necessary for phase 1 to occur. This situation cannot be explained by the standard kinetics that involves a fixed amount of luminal Ca2+ binding sites. A new mathematical model wa ...[more]

Project description:Intracellular Ca2+ release through the Inositol 1,4,5-Triphosphate Receptor (InsP3R) is a feature of all multicellular organisms in which it shapes the temporal and spatial aspects of calcium signaling in cells, affecting several developmental and physiological processes. Mutants in the InsP3R gene of Drosophila (itpr) exhibit a range of defects which include growth defects and larval lethality.The Drosophila Insulin-like peptides (ILPs) are encoded by multigene families that are expressed in the brain and other tissues. Upon secretion, these peptides likely serve as hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors. In Drosophila melanogaster, molecular genetic studies have revealed Drosophila ILPs as elements of a conserved insulin signaling pathway, and as in other animal models, it appears to play a key role in metabolism, growth, reproduction, and aging. Previous work from our group has shown that InsP3R function can be rescued by ectopically expressing InsP3R in dilp cells or can be compensated by altering the activity of Sarco-Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium-ATPase (SERCA). To understand the molecular basis of larval lethality and growth defect in Drosophila InsP3R mutants and to decipher possible cross talk of itpr gene with other signaling pathways we have carried out genome wide microarray experiments. We have compared the transcript profiles of i) itpr mutant larvae and wild type larvae, ii) dilp rescue larvae with itpr mutant larvae iii) itpr and SERCA double mutant larvae with itpr mutant larvae. By this we have identified genes whose levels are altered in itpr mutants and are restored towards wild type in dilp rescue larvae with itpr mutant larvae and itpr and SERCA double mutants. Our experiments help in identify genes that are regulated by changes in intracellular Ca2+ in the context of larval viability may contribute to the better understanding of the major human pathologies caused by calcium misbalance or by dysregulation of the insulin/IGF pathway.

Project description:Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in preeclampsia (PE) pathogenesis. Evidence indicates altered microRNAs (miRNAs) expression in PE, however, the relationship between oxidative stress and miRNA changes in placenta as a potential mechanism involved in PE is not fully elucidated. In the present study, we investigate the impact of increased oxidative stress on miRNA and mRNA expression profiles of genes known to be associated with PE in villous 3A first trimester trophoblast cells. Cells were exposed to H2O2 at 10 different concentrations (0-1 mM) for 0.5, 4, 24, and 48 h. Cytotoxicity was determined using the SRB assay and data was used to calculate the IC50 of H2O2. Total RNA was extracted after short-term exposure (4 h) to H2O2 for miRNA expression profiling. H2O2 exerted a concentration and time-dependent cytotoxicity on 3A trophoblast cells. Short-term exposure of 3A cells to low concentration of H2O2 (5% of IC50) significantly altered miRNA profile as evidenced by significant changes in 195 out of 595 evaluatable miRNAs. Short-term exposure of villous first trimester trophoblasts to low concentrations of H2O2 significantly alters miRNA profile. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in preeclampsia (PE) pathogenesis.
