Intracellular calcium signals have distinct temporal and spatial
patterns in neurons in which signal initiation and repetitive spiking
occurs predominantly in the neurite. We investigated the functional
implications of the coexpression of different isoforms of ryanodine
receptors (RyR) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP3Rs)
using immunocytochemistry, Western blotting, and calcium imaging in
neuronally differentiated PC12 cells. InsP3R type III, an isoform that
has been shown to be upregulated in neuronal apoptosis, is exclusively
expressed in the soma, serving as a gatekeeper for high-magnitude
calcium surges. InsP3R type I is expressed throughout the cell and can
be related to signal initiation and repetitive spiking in the neurite.
RyR types 2 and 3 are distributed throughout the cell. In the soma,
they serve as amplifying molecular switches, facilitating recruitment
of the InsP3R type III-dependent pool. In the neurite, they decrease the probability of repetitive spiking. Use of a cell-permeant analog of
InsP3 suggested that regional specificity in InsP3 production and
surface-to-volume effects play minor roles in determining temporal and
spatial calcium signaling patterns in neurons. Our findings suggest
that additional modulatory processes acting on the intracellular
channels are necessary to generate spatially specific calcium signaling.
