Activated astrocytes show various patterns of Ca2+ mobilization under pathological conditions. In the present study we revealed a novel function of astrocytic Ca2+ dynamics through investigation of thrombin-induced unique Ca2+ entry. Using 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells, which have been shown to be a good model for detecting morphological dynamics, we observed rapid retraction of bipolar protrusions that were reversibly evoked by 0.03-3 U/mL thrombin. Morphological changes were predominantly dependent on a specific thrombin receptor subtype, proteinase-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1). In parallel, Fura-2 imaging of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+](i)) showed that thrombin induced heterogeneous Ca2+ responses with asynchronous repetitive peaks. These oscillations were found to be a result of repetitive Ca2+ release from intracellular stores, followed by refilling of Ca2+ from the extracellular region without a direct [Ca2+]i increase. Pharmacological manipulation with BAPTA-AM, cyclopiazonic acid, and 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate indicated that Ca2+ mobilization was involved in thrombin-induced morphological changes. We further addressed the role of Ca2+ entry using small interfering RNA (siRNA) for transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3). As a result, both thrombin-induced morphological changes and oscillatory Ca2+ responses were significantly attenuated in siRNA-transfected cells. Inhibition of TRPC3 with pyrazole-3 also provided support for the contribution of Ca2+ influx. Moreover, TRPC3-mediated Ca2+ dynamics regulated thrombin-induced phosphorylation of myosin light chain 2. These results suggest a novel function of astrocytic Ca2+ dynamics, including Ca2+ entry, in the pathophysiological effects of PAR-1-mediated astrocytic activation. TRPC3 forms a functional Ca2+ channel and might modulate astrocytic activation in response to brain hemorrhaging. (C) 2008 wiley-Liss, Inc.
