Conversion of intracellular Ca2+signals to electrical activity results in multiple and differing physiological impacts depending on cell types. In some organs such as gastrointestinal and urinary systems, spontaneous Ca2+oscillation in pacermaker cells can function essentially as a Ca2+clock mechanism, which has been originally found in pacemaking in sinoatrial node cell of the heart. The conversion of discrete Ca2+clock events to spontaneous electrical activity is an essential step for the initiation and propagation of pacemaker activity through the multicellular organs resulting in synchronized physiological functions. Here, a model of intracellular signal transduction from a Ca2+oscillation to initiation of electrical slow waves and their propagation were reconstituted in HEK293 cells. This was accomplished based on ryanodine receptor (RyR) type 3, Ca2+-activated ion channels, i.e. small conductance Ca2+-activated K+channel (SK2) or Ca2+-activated Cl−channel (TMEM16A), and connexin43 being heterologously co-expressed. The propagation of electrical waves was abolished or substantially reduced by treatment with selective blockers of the expressed channels and 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid, a gap junction inhibitor, respectively. Thus, we demonstrated that the conversion of Ca2+oscillation to electrical signals with cell to cell propagation can be reconstituted as a model of Ca2+clock pacemaker activity by combinational expression of critical elements in heterologous expression system.
