Many physiologically important activities of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (O-2A cells),
including proliferation, migration and differentiation, are regulated by cytosolic Ca 2+
signals. However, little is known concerning the mechanisms of Ca 2+ signalling in this cell
type. We have studied the interactions between Ca 2+ entry, Ca 2+ release from
endoplasmic reticulum and Ca 2+ regulation by mitochondria in influencing cytosolic Ca 2+
responses in O-2A cells.
Abstract
1. Many physiologically important activities of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (O-2A cells), including proliferation, migration and differentiation, are regulated by cytosolic Ca 2+ signals. However, little is known concerning the mechanisms of Ca 2+ signalling in this cell type. We have studied the interactions between Ca 2+ entry, Ca 2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum and Ca 2+ regulation by mitochondria in influencing cytosolic Ca 2+ responses in O-2A cells.
