摘要
The role of intracellular calcium in oligodendrocyte injury is investigated using cultured rat oligodendrocytes. Calcium ionophores A23187 and ionomycin mimic both complement and perforin attack, causing oligodendrocyte lysis at concentrations which do not lyse other glia. Membrane vesiculation, the mechanism by which oligodendrocytes resist and recover from complement and perforin attack, is also induced by A23187. Oligodendrocytes are more susceptible to complement attack in the presence of a calmodulin inhibitor (W7), which also inhibits vesiculation. These results imply that calmodulin is involved in membrane repair from complement attack. and indicate that changes in intracellular calcium play an important yet paradoxical role in the oligodendrocyte response to injury, dictating both susceptibility and cellular recovery.
