Popis: | Acid sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) is well-known to play a major pathophysiological role during brain ischemia linked to acute acidosis of ~ pH 6, while its function during physiological brain activity, linked to much milder pH changes, is still poorly understood. Here, by performing live cell imaging utilizing Na(+) and Ca(2+) sensitive and spatially specific fluorescent dyes, we investigated the role of ASIC1a in cytosolic Na(+) and Ca(2+) signals elicited by a mild extracellular drop from pH 7.4 to 7.0 and how these affect mitochondrial Na(+) and Ca(2+) signaling or metabolic activity. We show that in mouse primary cortical neurons, this small extracellular pH change triggers cytosolic Na(+) and Ca(2+) waves that propagate to mitochondria. Inhibiting ASIC1a with Psalmotoxin 1 (PcTX1) or ASIC1a gene knockout blocked not only the cytosolic but also the mitochondrial Na(+) and Ca(2+) signals. Moreover, physiological activation of ASIC1a by this pH shift enhances mitochondrial respiration and evokes mitochondrial Na(+) signaling even in digitonin - permeabilized neurons. Altogether our results indicate that ASIC1a is critical in linking physiological extracellular pH stimuli to mitochondrial ion signaling and metabolic activity and thus is an important metabolic sensor. |
