  • Title: Calcium release from ryanodine receptors in the nucleoplasmic reticulum.
    Author: Marius P, Guerra MT, Nathanson MH, Ehrlich BE, Leite MF.
    Journal: Cell Calcium; 2006 Jan; 39(1):65-73. PubMed ID: 16289270.
    Abstract:
    Ca(2+) signals control DNA synthesis and repair, gene transcription, and other cell functions that occur within the nucleus. The nuclear envelope can store Ca(2+) and release it into the nucleus via either the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R) or the ryanodine receptor (RyR). Furthermore, many cell types have a reticular network within their nuclei and InsP3Rs on this nucleoplasmic reticulum permit local subnuclear control of Ca(2+) signals and Ca(2+)-dependent intranuclear events. However, it is unknown whether RyR similarly is expressed on the nucleoplasmic reticulum and can control subnuclear Ca(2+) signals. Here we report that the type 1 RyR is expressed on intranuclear extensions of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of C2C12 cells, a skeletal muscle derived cell line. In addition, two-photon photorelease of caged Ca(2+) in the region of the nucleoplasmic reticulum evoked Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) within the nucleus, which could be suppressed by the RyR inhibitor dantrolene. These results show that intranuclear extensions of the nuclear envelope have functional RyR and provide a possible mechanism whereby cells expressing RyR can regulate Ca(2+) signals in discrete regions within the nucleus.
