Investigation of Intracellular Free Ca2+ Concentration Dynamics with Fluorescence Methods

Abstract

Most of the extracellular stimulus arrive to the cell membrane result with the increase in cytoplasmic free Ca+2 concentration [Ca+2]i. Because of the huge Ca+2 concentration differences between the cytoplasm (≈10-7 M) and extracellular fluid and endoplasmic reticulum (ER - which is the major Ca+2 storage organelle in especially non electrically excitable cells) (≈10-3 M), a large electro-chemical gradient repel Ca+2 to the plasma or ER. Therefore a signal which temporarily opens Ca+2 channels, induce a fast influx of Ca+2 through the cytosol and increase its concentration about 10-20 fold. At this organization free Ca+2 functions as an intracellular signalling molecule and a second messenger. In this way many intracellular signalling proteins activated and cellular functions like gene expression, cell proliferation and division, apoptosis, and also myocyte contraction, endocrine cell degranulation and neuronal transmission are regulated. Thus, the key role of Ca+2 in many intracellular process, makes the dynamic measurements necessary for an understanding of the signalling mechanisms. Fluorescence imaging techniques make possible of monitoring the spatiotemporal Ca+2 response patterns in cytoplasm. In the last decades, especially their ease of loading, and minimum manipulations to the cell homeostasis, make these techniques unique with respect to the other methods.
