After Ca(2+) influx, mitochondria can sequester Ca(2+) and subsequently release it back into the cytosol. This form of Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release (CICR) prolongs Ca(2+) signaling and can potentially mediate activity-dependent plasticity. As Ca(2+) is required for its subsequent release, Ca(2+) removal systems, like the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA), could impact CICR. Here we examine such a role for the PMCA in the bag cell neurons of Aplysia californica CICR is triggered in these neurons during an afterdischarge and is implicated in sustaining membrane excitability and peptide secretion. Somatic Ca(2+) was measured from fura-PE3-loaded cultured bag cell neurons recorded under whole cell voltage clamp. Voltage-gated Ca(2+) influx was elicited with a 5-Hz, 1-min train, which mimics the fast phase of the afterdischarge. PMCA inhibition with carboxyeosin or extracellular alkalization augmented the effectiveness of Ca(2+) influx in eliciting mitochondrial CICR. A Ca(2+) compartment model recapitulated these findings and indicated that disrupting PMCA-dependent Ca(2+) removal increases CICR by enhancing mitochondrial Ca(2+) loading. Indeed, carboxyeosin augmented train-evoked mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake. Consistent with their role on Ca(2+) dynamics, cell labeling revealed that the PMCA and mitochondria overlap with Ca(2+) entry sites. Finally, PMCA-dependent Ca(2+) extrusion did not impact endoplasmic reticulum-dependent Ca(2+) removal or release, despite the organelle residing near Ca(2+) entry sites. Our results demonstrate that Ca(2+) removal by the PMCA influences the propensity for stimulus-evoked CICR by adjusting the amount of Ca(2+) available for mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake. This study highlights a mechanism by which the PMCA could impact activity-dependent plasticity in the bag cell neurons.
