Pharmacology of ryanodine receptors and Ca2+‐induced Ca2+ release

Abstract: Ryanodine receptors (RyR) are cation-selective, ligand-modulated, ion channels that provide a pathway for the regulated release of Ca 2+ from intracellular reticular storage organelles to initiate a wide variety of cellular processes. In addition to regulation by endogenous ligands, the function of RyR can be altered by many pharmacological agents. Some of these have been used to establish the contribution of RyR-mediated Ca 2+ release to diverse signaling processes. Altered RyR function also plays a role in t… Show more

“…). In NG2(+) pericytes of PCAs, capillaries or PCVs in the same microvascular unit, spontaneous Ca 2+ transients were prevented or inhibited by both caffeine and tetracaine, a known blocker of CICR (Thomas & Williams, ), suggesting that CICR via RYRs is also involved in the spontaneous SR/ER Ca 2+ transients in NG2(+) pericytes distributed in these microvascular segments. Therefore, there may be heterogeneity in the role of RYRs in different microvascular segments.…”

“…In the suburothelial venules, spontaneous Ca 2+ transients in venular pericytes are abolished by blockers of IP 3 -induced Ca 2+ release but not ryanodine, suggesting that IP 3 receptors rather than ryanodine receptors (RYRs) play a predominant role in the spontaneous SR/ER Ca 2+ transients (Hashitani et al 2012). In NG2(+) pericytes of PCAs, capillaries or PCVs in the same microvascular unit, spontaneous Ca 2+ transients were prevented or inhibited by both caffeine and tetracaine, a known blocker of CICR (Thomas & Williams, 2012), suggesting that CICR via RYRs is also involved in the spontaneous SR/ER Ca 2+ transients in NG2(+) pericytes distributed in these microvascular segments. Therefore, there may be heterogeneity in the role of RYRs in different microvascular segments.…”

“…Mutations within RyR2 are established as the underlying cause of the inherited disease catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia type 1 (CPVT1) (2, 3); however, the mechanisms that lead to altered function are yet to be fully established. To gain an insight into how function is altered in mutant channels, we need greater knowledge of the structures involved in the ion permeation pathway and the mechanisms whereby transitions between open and nonconducting conformations occur.…”

“…Initially, an agonist produced a Ca 2+ signal most likely being small, local, and gradually dependent on stimulus intensity. When exceeding the threshold, this local and poorly resolved Ca 2+ signal pushed massive Ca 2+ -induced Ca 2+ release (CICR) [37][38][39][40] to accomplish transduction with a large and global Ca 2+ signal. By involving the trigger-like mechanism CICR, a cell generates Ca 2+ responses of virtually universal shape and magnitude at different agonist concentrations above the threshold (Figure 2).…”
