From the Graded or "quantal" Ca2+
release from intracellular stores has been observed in various cell
types following activation of either ryanodine receptors (RyR) or
inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP3R). The
mechanism causing the release of Ca2+ stores in direct
proportion to the strength of stimulation is unresolved. We
investigated the properties of quantal Ca2+ release evoked
by activation of RyR in PC12 cells, and in particular whether the
sensitivity of RyR to the agonist caffeine was altered by lumenal
Ca2+. Quantal Ca2+ release was observed in
cells stimulated with 1 to 40 mM caffeine, a range of
caffeine concentrations giving a >10-fold change in lumenal
Ca2+ content. The Ca2+ load of the
caffeine-sensitive stores was modulated by allowing them to refill for
varying times after complete discharge with maximal caffeine, or by
depolarizing the cells with K+ to enhance their normal
steady-state loading. The threshold for RyR activation was sensitized
~10-fold as the Ca2+ load increased from a minimal to a
maximal loading. In addition, the fraction of Ca2+ released
by low caffeine concentrations increased. Our data suggest that RyR are
sensitive to lumenal Ca2+ over the full range of
Ca2+ loads that can be achieved in an intact PC12 cell, and
that changes in RyR sensitivity may be responsible for the termination
of Ca2+ release underlying the quantal effect.
