摘要
The effect of plasminogen on the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca](i)) was examined in cultured rat hippocampal neurons. Plasminogen (100 nM) did not increase [Ca](i) in the presence of tetrodotoxin (TTX, 3 mu M) but increased [Ca](i) in the absence of TTX. In all the cells which responded to plasminogen (100 nM), NMDA (5 mu M) also increased [Ca](i) in the presence of TTX. Furthermore, plasminogen (100 nM) enhanced the NMDA-evoked [Ca](i) increase, and the potentiation by plasminogen was blocked by an NMDA receptor blocker, 2-amino-phosphonovalerate (APV). These data suggest that plasminogen enhances glutamate-evoked [Ca](i) increase through modulation of NMDA receptor in hippocampal neurons.
