Calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) is a mechanism by which
local elevations of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) are
amplified by Ca2+ release from ryanodine-sensitive
Ca2+ stores. CICR is known to be coupled to
Ca2+ entry in skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and
peripheral neurons, but no evidence suggests that such coupling occurs
in central neurons during the firing of action potentials. Using fast
Ca2+ imaging in CA1 neurons from hippocampal slices,
we found evidence for CICR during action potential-evoked
Ca2+ transients. A low concentration of caffeine
enhanced Ca2+ transient amplitude, whereas a higher
concentration reduced it. Simultaneous Ca2+ imaging
and whole-cell recordings showed that membrane potential, action
potential amplitude, and waveform were unchanged during caffeine
application. The enhancement of Ca2+ transients by
caffeine was not affected by the L-type channel blocker nifedipine, the
phosphodiesterase inhibitor IBMX, the adenylyl cyclase activator
forskolin, or the PKA antagonist H-89. However, thapsigargin or
ryanodine, which both empty intracellular Ca2+
stores, occluded this effect. In addition, thapsigargin, ryanodine, and
cyclopiazonic acid reduced action potential-evoked
Ca2+ transients in the absence of caffeine. These
results suggest that Ca2+ release from
ryanodine-sensitive stores contributes to Ca2+
signals triggered by action potentials in CA1 neurons.

hippocampus; slices; fura-2; patch clamp; caffeine; thapsigargin
