Elevation of cytosolic free Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i) in excitable cells often acts as a negative feedback signal on firing of action potentials and the associated voltage-gated Ca2+influx. Increased [Ca2+]istimulates Ca2+-sensitive K+channels (IK-Ca), and this, in turn, hyperpolarizes the cell and inhibits Ca2+influx. However, in some cells expressing IK-Cathe elevation in [Ca2+]iby depletion of intracellular stores facilitates voltage-gated Ca2+influx. This phenomenon was studied in hypothalamic GT1 neuronal cells during store depletion caused by activation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors and inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum (Ca2+)ATPase with thapsigargin. GnRH induced a rapid spike increase in [Ca2+]iaccompanied by transient hyperpolarization, followed by a sustained [Ca2+]iplateau during which the depolarized cells fired with higher frequency. The transient hyperpolarization was caused by the initial spike in [Ca2+]iand was mediated by apamin-sensitive IK-Cachannels, which also were operative during the subsequent depolarization phase. Agonist-induced depolarization and increased firing were independent of [Ca2+]iand were not mediated by inhibition of K+current, but by facilitation of a voltage-insensitive, Ca2+-conducting inward current. Store depletion by thapsigargin also activated this inward depolarizing current and increased the firing frequency. Thus, the pattern of firing in GT1 neurons is regulated coordinately by apamin-sensitive SK current and store depletion-activated Ca2+current. This dual control of pacemaker activity facilitates voltage-gated Ca2+influx at elevated [Ca2+]ilevels, but also protects cells from Ca2+overload. This process may also provide a general mechanism for the integration of voltage-gated Ca2+influx into receptor-controlled Ca2+mobilization.
