Insights into the mediation of Ca 2+ signaling in the promoting effects of LETX-VI on the synthesis and release of dopamine.
Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling 2023 September 14
Latroeggtoxin-VI (LETX-VI) is an active protein and was previously demonstrated to have effects on the synthesis and release of dopamine. Hererin, the involvement of Ca2+ signaling in the effects of LETX-VI on dopamine was systematically investigated, using PC12 cells as a neuron model. LETX-VI was shown to promote dopamine release from PC12 cells both in the presence and absence of extracellular Ca2+ ; however the presence of extracellular Ca2+ was favorable for enhancing the promoting effects of LETX-VI on dopamine, because LETX-VI facilitated the influx of extracellular Ca2+ through the L-type calcium channels in plasma membrane (PM) to increase cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. LETX-VI was able to penetrate the PM of PC12 cells to act on the Ca2+ channel proteins IP3Rs and RyRs in the endoplasm reticulum (ER) membrane, opening the Ca2+ channels and promoting the release of ER Ca2+ to elevate cytosolic Ca2+ level. With the help of intracellular Ca2+ chelator BAPTA, the elevated cytosolic Ca2+ level was proven to play crucial role for the enhanced promoting effects of LETX-VI on dopamine. Taken together, LETX-VI is able to open the Ca2+ channels in both PM and ER membrane simultaneously to facilitate extracellular Ca2+ influx and ER Ca2+ release, and thus increases the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration to enhance the promoting effects on the synthesis and release of dopamine.
