We have investigated the role of
extramitochondrial Na+ for the regulation of
mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration
([Ca2+]m) in permeabilized single vascular
endothelial cells. [Ca2+]m was measured by
loading the cells with the membrane-permeant Ca2+ indicator
fluo-3/AM and subsequent removal of cytoplasmic fluo-3 by surface
membrane permeabilization with digitonin. An elevation of
extramitochondrial Ca2+ resulted in a
dose-dependent increase in the rate of Ca2+
accumulation into mitochondria (k0.5 = 3 µM) via the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter. In
the presence of 10 mM extramitochondrial Na+
([Na+]em), repetitive application of brief pulses
of high Ca2+ (2-10 µM) to simulate
cytoplasmic [Ca2+] oscillations caused transient
increases of [Ca2+]m characterized by a fast
rising phase that was followed by a slow decay. Removal of
extramitochondrial Na+ or inhibition of mitochondrial
Na+/Ca2+ exchange with clonazepam blocked
mitochondrial Ca2+ efflux and resulted in a net
accumulation of Ca2+ by the mitochondria. Half-maximal
activation of mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchange
occurred at [Na+]em = 4.4 mM, which
is well within the physiological range of cytoplasmic
[Na+]. This study provides evidence that Ca2+
efflux from the mitochondria in vascular endothelial cells occurs solely via Na+/Ca2+ exchange and emphasizes the
important role of intracellular Na+ for mitochondrial
Ca2+ regulation.
