    Abstract Monitoring the pattern of intracellular Ca²⁺ signals that control many diverse cellular processes is essential for understanding regulatory mechanisms of cellular functions. Various genetically encoded Ca²⁺ indicators (GECIs) are used for monitoring intracellular Ca²⁺ changes under several types of microscope systems. However, it has not yet been explored which microscopic system is ideal for long-term imaging of the spatiotemporal patterns of Ca²⁺ signals using GECIs. We here compared the Ca²⁺ signals reported by a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based ratiometric GECI, yellow cameleon 3.60 (YC3.60), stably expressed in DT40 B lymphocytes, using three different imaging systems. These systems included a wide-field fluorescent microscope, a multipoint scanning confocal system, and a single-point scanning confocal system. The degree of photobleaching and the signal-to-noise ratio of YC3.60 in DT40 cells were highly dependent on the fluorescence excitation method, although the total illumination energy was maintained at a constant level within each of the imaging systems. More strikingly, the Ca²⁺ responses evoked by B-cell antigen receptor stimulation in YC3.60-expressing DT40 cells were different among the imaging systems, and markedly affected by the illumination power used. Our results suggest that optimization of the imaging system, including illumination and acquisition conditions, is crucial for accurate visualization of intracellular Ca²⁺ signals.

    Abstract Stimulus-induced changes in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration control cell fate decision, including apoptosis. However, the precise patterns of the cytosolic Ca2+ signals that are associated with apoptotic induction remain unknown. We have developed a novel genetically encoded sensor of activated caspase-3 that can be applied in combination with a genetically encoded sensor of the Ca2+ concentration and have established a dual imaging system that enables the imaging of both cytosolic Ca2+ signals and caspase-3 activation, which is an indicator of apoptosis, in the same cell. Using this system, we identified differences in the cytosolic Ca2+ signals of apoptotic and surviving DT40 B lymphocytes after B cell receptor (BCR) stimulation. In surviving cells, BCR stimulation evoked larger initial Ca2+ spikes followed by a larger sustained elevation of the Ca2+ concentration than those in apoptotic cells; BCR stimulation also resulted in repetitive transient Ca2+ spikes, which were mediated by the influx of Ca2+ from the extracellular space. Our results indicate that the observation of both Ca2+ signals and cells fate in same cell is crucial to gain an accurate understanding of the function of intracellular Ca2+ signals in apoptotic induction.

    Abstract Multisensory integration (MSI) is a fundamental emergent property of the mammalian brain. During MSI, perceptual information encoded in patterned activity is processed in multimodal association cortex. The systems-level neuronal dynamics that coordinate MSI, however, are unknown. Here, we demonstrate intrinsic hub-like network activity in the association cortex that regulates MSI. We engineered calcium reporter mouse lines based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer sensor yellow cameleon (YC2.60) expressed in excitatory or inhibitory neurons. In medial and parietal association cortex, we observed spontaneous slow waves that self-organized into hubs defined by long-range excitatory and local inhibitory circuits. Unlike directional source/sink-like flows in sensory areas, medial/parietal excitatory and inhibitory hubs had net-zero balanced inputs. Remarkably, multisensory stimulation triggered rapid phase-locking mainly of excitatory hub activity persisting for seconds after the stimulus offset. Therefore, association cortex tends to form balanced excitatory networks that configure slow-wave phase-locking for MSI. VIDEO ABSTRACT.

    Abstract A uniform extracellular stimulus triggers cell-specific patterns of Ca(2+) signals, even in genetically identical cell populations. However, the underlying mechanism that generates the cell-to-cell variability remains unknown. We monitored cytosolic inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) concentration changes using a fluorescent IP3 sensor in single HeLa cells showing different patterns of histamine-induced Ca(2+) oscillations in terms of the time constant of Ca(2+) spike amplitude decay and the Ca(2+) oscillation frequency. HeLa cells stimulated with histamine exhibited a considerable variation in the temporal pattern of Ca(2+) signals and we found that there were cell-specific IP3 dynamics depending on the patterns of Ca(2+) signals. RT-PCR and western blot analyses showed that phospholipase C (PLC)-β1, -β3, -β4, -γ1, -δ3 and -ε were expressed at relatively high levels in HeLa cells. Small interfering RNA-mediated silencing of PLC isozymes revealed that PLC-β1 and PLC-β4 were specifically involved in the histamine-induced IP3 increases in HeLa cells. Modulation of IP3 dynamics by knockdown or overexpression of the isozymes PLC-β1 and PLC-β4 resulted in specific changes in the characteristics of Ca(2+) oscillations, such as the time constant of the temporal changes in the Ca(2+) spike amplitude and the Ca(2+) oscillation frequency, within the range of the cell-to-cell variability found in wild-type cell populations. These findings indicate that the heterogeneity in the process of IP3 production, rather than IP3-induced Ca(2+) release, can cause cell-to-cell variability in the patterns of Ca(2+) signals and that PLC-β1 and PLC-β4 contribute to generate cell-specific Ca(2+) signals evoked by G protein-coupled receptor stimulation.

    Abstract The N-terminal ∼220-amino acid region of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor (IP(3)R)/Ca(2+) release channel has been referred to as the suppressor/coupling domain because it is required for both IP(3) binding suppression and IP(3)-induced channel gating. Measurements of IP(3)-induced Ca(2+) fluxes of mutagenized mouse type 1 IP(3)R (IP(3)R1) showed that the residues responsible for IP(3) binding suppression in this domain were not essential for channel opening. On the other hand, a single amino acid substitution of Tyr-167 to alanine completely impaired IP(3)-induced Ca(2+) release without reducing the IP(3) binding activity. The corresponding residue in type 3 IP(3)R (IP(3)R3), Trp-168, was also critical for channel opening. Limited trypsin digestion experiments showed that the trypsin sensitivities of the C-terminal gatekeeper domain differed markedly between the wild-type channel and the Tyr-167 mutant under the optimal conditions for channel opening. These results strongly suggest that the Tyr/Trp residue (Tyr-167 in IP(3)R1 and Trp-168 in IP(3)R3) is critical for the functional coupling between IP(3) binding and channel gating by maintaining the structural integrity of the C-terminal gatekeeper domain at least under activation gating.

    Abstract Spinocerebellar ataxia type 15 (SCA15) is a group of human neurodegenerative disorders characterized by a slowly progressing pure cerebellar ataxia. The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP₃) receptor type 1 (IP₃R1) is an intracellular IP₃-induced Ca²⁺ release channel that was recently identified as a causative gene for SCA15. In most case studies, a heterozygous deletion of the IP₃R1 gene was identified. However, one Japanese SCA15 family was found to have a Pro to Leu (P1059L) substitution in IP₃R1. To investigate the effect of the P1059L mutation, we analyzed the channel properties of the mutant human IP₃R1 by expressing it in an IP₃R-deficient B lymphocyte cell line. The P1059L mutant was a functional Ca²⁺ release channel with a twofold higher IP₃ binding affinity compared to wild-type IP₃R1. The cooperative dependence of the Ca²⁺ release activity of the mutant on IP₃ concentration was reduced, but both wild-type and mutant receptors produced similar B cell receptor-induced Ca²⁺ signals. These results demonstrate that the Ca²⁺ release properties of IP₃R1 are largely unaffected by the P1059L mutation.
