title: [An analysis of centriolar orientation in cultured ESK cells under the action of the calcium ionophor A23187].
abstract: Addition of 20 microM calcium ionophore A23187 to cultured PK (pig kidney embryo) cells gave an increase of Ca2+ in cytosol by more than 10 times. The maximum of [Ca2+] was achieved in 1-2 min after introduction of the drug. Later on [Ca2+] gradually decreased, and after 30 min of incubation with A23187 [Ca2+] was 3-5 times above normal level. Immunofluorescent and electron microscope studies showed no alterations in the microtubule system of interphase cells after 1-30 min treatment. The electro microscope study showed that-following 1.5 min introduction of the drug the random orientation of material and daughter centrioles changed: most of them settled down at an angle more, than 74 degrees to the substrate surface. After 3 min of A23187 treatment more than half of maternal centrioles were oriented perpendicular to the substrate surface. After 5 min of A23187 treatment, the percentage of maternal centrioles with perpendicular orientation was the same and this orientation remained for 30 min. The percentage of perpendicular daughter centrioles decreased after 3 min of treatment, and after 30 min their orientation was random. We suggest that the perpendicular orientation of centrioles to the substrate surface is mediated through centrosome-associated calcium-binding proteins.
