Oligomeric forms of Aβ peptides associated with Alzheimer`s disease (AD) disrupt cellular Ca2+ regulation by liberating Ca2+ into the cytosol from both extracellular and intracellular sources. We elucidated the actions of intracellular Aβ42 by imaging Ca2+ responses to injections of Aβ oligomers into Xenopus oocytes. Two types of signal were observed: (i) local, 'channel-like' transients dependent on extracellular Ca2+ influx, which resembled signals from amlyoid pores formed by extracellular application of oligomers; (ii) local transients and global Ca2+ waves, resembling Ca2+ puffs and waves mediated by inositol trisphosphate (IP3). The latter responses were suppressed by antagonists of the IP3 receptor (caffeine and heparin), by pretreatment with the Gi/o-protein inhibitor pertussis toxin, and by pre-treatment with lithium to deplete membrane inositol lipids. We show that G-protein-mediated stimulation of IP3 production and consequent liberation of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum by intracellular Aβ oligomers is cytotoxic, potentially representing a novel pathological mechanism in AD which may be further exacerbated by AD-linked mutations in presenilins to promote opening of IP3 receptor/channels.
