Abstract

We have employed amoeboid microglia purified from primary cultures of neonatal rat brain to examine the effect of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a potent activator of immune cells, on intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in brain macrophages. In single brain macrophages loaded with indo 1, pulse administration of LPS elicited a rapid and transient increase in [Ca2+]i. From a total of 70 cells examined, all responded to LPS with a similar [Ca2+]i transient, indicating a good homogeneity of the cell population with regard to the LPS response. It was concluded that the rise of cytosolic [Ca2+]i originated from intracellular stores because the response to LPS occurred similarly in the presence or in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. A second administration of LPS to the same cells resulted in a second but reduced [Ca2+]i transient. In contrast to the first response to LPS, this second response was totally dependent on the presence of Ca2+ in the extracellular medium. The first response to LPS was strongly inhibited by ruthenium red and could be suppressed in a reversible manner by preincubating the cells with caffeine in the absence of Ca2+ in the extracellular medium. These results indicate that caffeine-sensitive i...Continue Reading
