Аннотация
Synaptosomes from the optic lobes of squid (Loligo forbesi) were prepared by homogenization and allowed to settle onto glass coverslips. Synaptosomes were loaded with Ca(2+) sensitive dyes (Fura-2 AM, Calcium Green-1 AM and Calcium Green-5N AM), visualized by light microscopy and Ca(2+) sensitive fluorescence signals recorded and analyzed. With Fura-2, resting Ca(2+) was found to be 80 nM (n = 10, SEM 5.7). Addition of K(+) (30 mM), caffeine (3 mM) and thapsigargin (10 microM) evoked transient increases in cytoplasmic Ca(2+). Addition of BAPTA-AM (20 microM) decreased intrasynaptosomal free Ca(2+). Similar results were obtained with Calcium Green-1 AM but not with Calcium Green-5N AM. We conclude that synaptosomes from the squid optic lobe posses intact membranes and mechanisms to regulate intrasynaptosomal free [Ca(2+)], as well as caffeine sensitive Ca(2+) stores. The results of this study are discussed with respect to the role of Ca(2+) in presynaptic protein synthesis.
