Free radical-dependent Ca2+ signaling: role of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release.
Previously we have shown that Fe3+/ascorbate-induced Ca2+ release from scallop sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is due to Ca2+-channel gating by free radicals. This study is aimed at demonstrating that Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) plays a role in this kind of Ca2+ release. Scallop SR vesicles were incubated with fluo-3 and exposed to Fe3+/ascorbate. Fluorimetric recordings showed massive Ca2+ release, with maximum rate and 50% release occurring at 30 min after exposure. Conversely, the use of the probe for reactive oxygen species dihydrorhodamine or the assay of malondialdehyde allowed oxyradical production to be traced for approximately 5 min only. Hence, although Ca2+ release started just after exposure to Fe3+/ascorbate, most release occurred after free radical exhaustion. Ruthenium red addition after Fe3+/ascorbate slowed down the Ca2+ release, whereas cyclic adenosine 5'-diphosphoribose addition accelerated it, indicating that the free radical-induced Ca2+ release from SR vesicles triggers a mechanism of CICR that dramatically increases the initial effect.
