Modulation of calcium efflux from cultured rat dorsal root ganglion neurons

The free intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) is governed by the
balance between the activation of Ca2+ channels and buffering and efflux
processes. We tested the hypothesis that Ca2+ efflux pathways are
susceptible to modulation. The whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used in
combination with Indo-1-based microfluorometry to record Ca2+ current and
[Ca2+]i simultaneously from single rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons
grown in culture. Depolarizing test pulses (-80 to 0 mV, 100-300 msec)
elicited [Ca2+]i transients that recovered to basal levels by a process
best-fit with a single exponential (tau = 5.1 +/- 0.4 sec; n = 14) and were
independent of Ca2+ load (40-500 pC) over this range of test pulses.
[Ca2+]i transients recorded in whole-cell configuration were similar to
those elicited by a brief train of action potentials in unclamped neurons.
Inhibition of Ca2+ sequestration into intracellular stores with
thapsigargin had no effect on the kinetics of recovery. Inhibition of
plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) function by including a peptide
inhibitor (C28R2) in the patch pipette significantly slowed recovery to
basal [Ca2+]i (tau = 9.9 +/- 0.8 sec; n = 4). Preincubation with
calmidazolium, a calmodulin antagonist, produced modest slowing of Ca2+
efflux. Phorbol dibutyrate, an activator of protein kinase C (PKC),
accelerated Ca2+ efflux only when the PMCA had been inhibited by C28R2. We
conclude that in DRG neurons PMCAs are responsible for lowering [Ca2+]i
after small Ca2+ loads and that PMCA-mediated Ca2+ efflux is modulated by
calmodulin- and PKC- signaling pathways.
