    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating illness affecting over 40 million people worldwide. Intraneuronal rise of amyloid beta in its oligomeric forms (iAβOs), has been linked to the pathogenesis of AD by disrupting cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis. However, the specific mechanisms of action are still under debate and intense effort is ongoing to improve our understanding of the crucial steps involved in the mechanisms of AβOs toxicity. We report the development of a mathematical model describing a proposed mechanism by which stimulation of Phospholipase C (PLC) by iAβO, triggers production of IP3 with consequent abnormal release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through activation of IP3 receptor (IP3R) Ca2+ channels. After validating the model using experimental data, we quantify the effects of intracellular rise in iAβOs on model solutions. Our model validates a dose-dependent influence of iAβOs on IP3-mediated Ca2+ signaling. We investigate Ca2+ signaling patterns for small and large iAβOs doses and study the role of various parameters on Ca2+ signals. Uncertainty quantification and partial rank correlation coefficients are used to better understand how the model behaves under various parameter regimes. Our model predicts that iAβO alter IP3R sensitivity to IP3 for large doses. Our analysis also shows that the upstream production of IP3 can influence Aβ-driven solution patterns in a dose-dependent manner. Model results illustrate and confirm the detrimental impact of iAβOs on IP3 signaling.

    Abstract Recent advances in imaging technology and fluorescent probes have made it possible to gain information about the dynamics of subcellular processes at unprecedented spatiotemporal scales. Unfortunately, a lack of automated tools to efficiently process the resulting imaging data encoding fine details of the biological processes remains a major bottleneck in utilizing the full potential of these powerful experimental techniques. Here we present a computational tool, called PunctaSpecks, that can characterize fluorescence signals arising from a wide range of biological molecules under normal and pathological conditions. Among other things, the program can calculate the number, areas, life-times, and amplitudes of fluorescence signals arising from multiple sources, track diffusing fluorescence sources like moving mitochondria, and determine the overlap probability of two processes or organelles imaged using indicator dyes of different colors. We have tested PunctaSpecks on synthetic time-lapse movies containing mobile fluorescence objects of various sizes, mimicking the activity of biomolecules. The robustness of the software is tested by varying the level of noise along with random but known pattern of appearing, disappearing, and movement of these objects. Next, we use PunctaSpecks to characterize protein-protein interaction involved in store-operated Ca

    Abstract Ca(2+) liberation from the endoplasmic reticulum mediated by inositol trisphosphate receptor/channels (IP3Rs) in response to production of the second messenger IP3 regulates numerous signaling pathways. However, estimates of resting and physiologically relevant cytosolic concentrations of IP3 vary appreciably. Here we directly address this question, taking advantage of the large size of Xenopus oocytes to image Ca(2+) liberation evoked by bolus intracellular injections of known concentrations of IP3. Our principal finding is that IP3 evokes both global and local Ca(2+) signals in freshly isolated oocytes at concentrations as low as a few pM. A corollary is that basal, resting [IP3] must be even lower, given the absence of detectable Ca(2+) signals before injection. The dose/response curve for IP3-activation of Ca(2+) liberation suggests that freshly isolated oocytes express two distinct functional populations of IP3 receptors with EC50 values around 200 pM and tens of nM, whereas the high-affinity receptors are not apparent in oocytes examined later than about 3 days after isolation from the ovary.

    Abstract Oligomeric forms of β-amyloid (Aβ(42)) peptides associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) disrupt cellular Ca(2+) regulation by liberating Ca(2+) into the cytosol from both extracellular and intracellular sources. We elucidated the actions of intracellular Aβ by imaging Ca(2+) responses to injections of Aβ oligomers into Xenopus oocytes. Two types of signal were observed: (1) local, "channel-like" transients dependent on extracellular Ca(2+) influx, which resembled signals from amlyoid pores formed by extracellular application of oligomers; and (2) local transients and global Ca(2+) waves, resembling Ca(2+) puffs and waves mediated by inositol trisphosphate (IP(3)). The latter responses were suppressed by antagonists of the IP(3) receptor (caffeine and heparin), pretreatment with the G(i)(o)-protein inhibitor pertussis toxin, and pretreatment with lithium to deplete membrane inositol lipids. We show that G-protein-mediated stimulation of IP(3) production and consequent liberation of Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum by intracellular Aβ oligomers is cytotoxic, potentially representing a novel pathological mechanism in AD which may be further exacerbated by AD-linked mutations in presenilins to promote opening of IP(3) receptor/channels.
