Elevated cytosolic calcium levels in human lymphocytes during surface virus infections.
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry 1994 Februrary 10
Generalised metabolic and electrolyte disturbances are known to accompany both plasma and surface virus infections. We have investigated whether these infections could impair the transport of Ca2+ from cells under conditions of controlled concentrations of the energy substrate glucose. Thus, cytosolic calcium levels ([Ca2+]i) were measured in single isolated lymphocytes obtained from healthy volunteers or those suffering from coryza. Before making measurements using a Ca(2+)-sensitive fluorescent dye indo 1, we incubated lymphocytes in buffers containing 0 mM-, 5.6 mM- or 11.2 mM-[glucose]. We found that [Ca2+]i of lymphocytes obtained from the sick were significantly higher than those from healthy controls both at 0 mM and 5.6 mM-[glucose], and that [Ca2+]i was inversely related to the media glucose concentration for both groups. These results suggest a diminished capacity of cation pumping in viral infections, such as coryza, in relationship to the available glucose as energy substrate.
