摘要
目的用钙的荧光指示剂fluo-3和激光扫描共聚焦显微镜(laserscanningconfocalmicroscopy,LSCM)观察大白鼠的晶体上皮细胞(lensepithelialcel,LEC)中的游离钙。方法fluo-3着染细胞后,应用LSCM观察细胞内fluo-3与钙螯合后的荧光分布,最后用钙离子载体A23187和重金属离子Mn++作校正,将fluo-3与钙结合显示的荧光强度转换为[Ca++]i值。结果LEC中的游离钙主要分布在细胞核中。大白鼠晶体上皮细胞中的[Ca++]i为259.79±49.24nmol/L。结论fluo-3与LEC孵育后能着染细胞。用LSCM能直观地观察细胞内钙的分布,并能通过校正得到细胞内游离钙的绝对值。这种成熟的方法。
Objective Using a new fluorescent Ca ++ indicator (fluo 3) and laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) to monitor the intracellular Ca ++ of rat lens epithelial cell (LEC). Methods The LEC was loaded with fluo 3, then the distribution of free Ca ++ in the LEC was observed by using LSCM monitoring the distribution of fluorescence that is given due to the chelation between fluo 3 and Ca ++ . At last, ionophore (A 23187 ) and heavy metal ions (Mn ++ ) were applied to calibrate fluo 3 intensities to obtain [Ca ++ ] i value. Results The free calcium in LEC is mainly located in the nucleus. Free calcium concentration of rat LEC is 259.79±49.24 nmol/L. Conclusion Fluo 3 can be loaded into LEC by incubation with acetoxymethyl (AM) ester of the dye, and LSCM can be used to observe the cellular free calcium directly by surveying the fluorescence. This method will pave a way technically for the further study of intracellular free Ca ++ of the LEC.
