Regulation of slow wave frequency by IP3-sensitive calcium release in the murine small intestine

Intestinal Disease Research Program and Department of Medicine, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada L8N 3Z5

Slow waves determine frequency and propagation characteristics of contractions in the small intestine, yet little is known about mechanisms of slow wave regulation. We propose a role for intracellular Ca2+, inositol 1,4,5,-trisphosphate (IP3)-sensitive Ca2+ release, and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ content in the regulation of slow wave frequency because 1) 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid-AM, a cytosolic Ca2+ chelator, reduced the frequency or abolished the slow waves; 2) thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), inhibitors of SR Ca2+-ATPase, decreased slow wave frequency; 3) xestospongin C, a reversible, membrane-permeable blocker of IP3-induced Ca2+ release, abolished slow wave activity; 4) caffeine and phospholipase C inhibitors (U-73122, neomycin, and 2-nitro-4-carboxyphenyl-N,N-diphenylcarbamate) inhibited slow wave frequency; 5) in the presence of CPA or thapsigargin, stimulation of IP3 synthesis with carbachol, norepinephrine, or phenylephrine acting on alpha 1-adrenoceptors initially increased slow wave frequency but thereafter increased the rate of frequency decline, 6) thimerosal, a sensitizing agent of IP3 receptors increased slow wave frequency, and 7) ryanodine, a selective modulator of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release, had no effect on slow wave frequency. In summary, these data are consistent with a role of IP3-sensitive Ca2+ release and the rate of SR Ca2+ refilling in regulation of intestinal slow wave frequency.
