On the roles of Ca2+ diffusion, Ca2+ buffers, and the endoplasmic reticulum in IP3-induced Ca2+ waves.

We have investigated the effects of Ca2+ diffusion, mobile and stationary Ca2+ buffers in the cytosol, and Ca2+ handling by the endoplasmic reticulum on inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced Ca2+ wave propagation. Rapid equilibration of free and bound Ca2+ is used to describe Ca2+ sequestration by buffers in both the cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen. Cytosolic Ca2+ regulation is based on a kinetic model of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor of De Young and Keizer that includes activation and inhibition of the IP3 receptor Ca2+ channel in the ER membrane and SERCA Ca2+ pumps in the ER. Diffusion of Ca2+ in the cytosol and the ER and the breakdown and diffusion of IP3 are also included in our calculations. Although Ca2+ diffusion is severely limited because of buffering, when conditions are chosen just below the threshold for Ca2+ oscillations, a pulse of IP3 or Ca2+ results in a solitary trigger wave that requires diffusion of Ca2+ for its propagation. In the oscillatory regime repetitive wave trains are observed, but for this type of wave neither the wave shape nor the speed is strongly dependent on the diffusion of Ca2+. Local phase differences lead to waves that are predominately kinematic in nature, so that the wave speed (c) is related to the wavelength (lambda) and the period of the oscillations (tau) approximately by the formula c = lambda/tau. The period is determined by features that control the oscillations, including [IP3] and pump activity, which are related to recent experiments. Both solitary waves and wave trains are accompanied by a Ca2+ depletion wave in the ER lumen, similar to that observed in cortical preparations from sea urchin eggs. We explore the effect of endogenous and exogenous Ca2+ buffers on wave speed and wave shape, which can be explained in terms of three distinct effects of buffering, and show that exogenous buffers or Ca2+ dyes can have considerable influence on the amplitude and width of the waves.
