In addition to a possible impairment in granule fusion events, several other factors may contribute to the reduction in insulin secretion present in ABCA1-deficient β-cells. Calcium imaging revealed a small increase in basal [Ca 2+] i levels and a decrease in the 2+]
granule cells cultured at 5 and 25 mM KCl for 48 h, as assessed by calcium imaging of fura-2 loading, were 70 4 and 161 4 nM,respectively(mean SEM).ThehighKCl-inducedincrease in [Ca2]i was blocked by the voltage-sensitive Ca2 channel blocker nifedipine
2013/12/13· Reduced depolarization induced Ca 2+ influx has been observed using Fura-2AM and a Ca 2+ indior Calcium Green-5N in cerebellar granule cells and hippocampal CA1 neurons from PrP deficient mice, respectively [54, 55]. Both submerane and 2+ ].
classes of adult-born neurons (periglomerular neurons in the bulb [Livneh et al., 2014] and granule cells in the DG [Danielson et al., 2016]) using targeted patch-clamp recordings and GCaMP imaging, respectively. These studies also showed that immature adult-born
The calcium (Ca2+) signaling pathways have crucial roles in development from fertilization through differentiation to organogenesis. In the nervous system, Ca2+ signals are important regulators for various neuronal functions, including formation and maturation of neuronal circuits and long-term memory. However, Ca2+ signals are also involved in the earliest steps of neurogenesis including
Our recent paper on functional characterisation of granule cells has been published in the journal Current Biology, and we are following up on this research by examining other cell types, their interactions and the role in behavior.
We could hardly resolve individual cells in the granule cell layer though, presumably due to enhanced light stering and laser beam distortion in the Purkinje cell layer. Because multiple cellular structures are labeled using bolus loading, we next aimed to isolate calcium signals in the various compartments.

2019/12/19· The Golgi cells, together with granule cells and mossy fibers, form a neuronal microcircuit regulating information transfer at the cerebellum input stage. Despite theoretical predictions, little was known about long-term synaptic plasticity at Golgi cell synapses. Here we have used whole-cell patch-clamp recordings and calcium imaging to investigate long-term synaptic plasticity at excitatory
Calcium imaging with the confocal laser scanning microscope and ratio imaging analyses were performed as described above. Tissue Preparation for Light Microscopy After harvest, the leaf pieces were fixed either in 2% glutaraldehyde in 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.6, for 30 min or in 95% ethanol for several hours at room temperature.

2017/11/14· Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid deposition, tangle formation as well as synapse loss. Synaptic abnormalities occur early in the pathogenesis of AD. Identifying early synaptic abnormalities and their underlying mechanisms is likely important for the prevention and treatment of AD. We performed in vivo two-photon calcium imaging to examine the activities of somas

We are using a coination of parasite cell biology, live cell imaging and single molecule biophysics to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying dense granule transport and secretion. By understanding the mechanisms underlying this essential process it is our goal to identify new targets for the development of anti-parasitic drugs.
Circuit-level mechanisms of epilepsy.We use two photon calcium imaging, electrophysiology, and opto- and chemicogenetics, in acute brain slices, to study inhibition in cerebral cortical circuits as well as circuit dysfunction in experimental epilepsy models. At left is shown labeling of granule cells in the dentate gyrus with GCaMP6f (A; green), expression of tdTomato-tagged Archaerhodopsin T
mitral and granule cells. In vivo calcium imaging in awake mice reveals that PV cells are broadly tuned to odors. Furthermore, selective PV cell inactivation enhances mitral cell responses in a linear fashion while maintaining mitral cell odor preferences.
The role of voltage-dependent Ca channels (VDCC) in the merane permeation of two toxic metals, lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), was studied in mammalian cells. Both metals interact with Ca-binding sites, but, while Cd influx appears to occur mainly through the same pathways as Ca, Pb is also rapidly taken up by different passive transport systems. Furthermore, I compared the effect of Cd in two
The mammalian olfactory bulb receives multiple modulatory inputs, including a cholinergic input from the basal forebrain. Understanding the functional roles played by …
Granule cells in the cerebellum account for some 80 percent of the neurons in the brain, numerically, but only 10% of the brain’s volume. In order to watch how a mouse cerebellum does motor
And sure enough, the mitochondria isolated from granule cells showed more-efficient uptake of calcium in vitro. Misgeld notes that such variation doesn’t necessarily translate to functional differences in vivo—if, for example, Purkinje cells need less MCU than granule cells to get the same amount of calcium because it’s more concentrated at the site of uptake.
2007/7/30· For UV light-induced calcium release in the nucleus, the nuclear calcium and cytosolic calcium signals in CPA treated cells were 45 ± 3% (n = 4) and 61 ± 4% (n = 5), respectively, of those obtained in control conditions; for UV light-induced calcium release in9F).
2019/5/20· Calcium imaging of MC and Neuronal activity. a Phase-contrast image on the left panel of a hippocampal neuron (asterisk) at 2 weeks in culture following 24 h coculture with mast cells (black arrows). A glass micropipette of 1 μm ϕ was positioned very close to the neuronal soma before pressure ejection (2.5 psi) pulses of 5 s.
At the end of calcium imaging experiments, cells on coverslips were washed with PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature. Details and antibodies list are provided in SI Appendix, SI Methods.
Thus, through the SGL, granule cells are continuously added to the MZ from the 14th GW; these granule cells, which are initially Reln-negative — but express the calcium binding protein calretinin — then gradually differentiate into Reln-producing neurons.
Urban monitored the subtle-yet-coordinated activity of populations of granule cells in living brain slices using calcium imaging, an optical imaging technique that has never been applied to studies of the olfactory system. Urban loaded the neurons with a fluorescent
