摘要
Despite the wide application of super-resolution(SR)microscopy in biological studies of cells,the technology is rarely used to monitor functional changes in live cells.By combining fast spinning disc-confocal structured illumination microscopy(SD-SIM)with loading of cytosolic fluorescent Ca2+indicators,we have developed an SR method for visualization of regional Ca2+dynamics and related cellular organelle morphology and dynamics,termed SR calcium lantern imaging.In COS-7 cells stimulated with ATP,we have identified various calcium macrodomains characterized by different types of Ca2+release from endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stores.Finally,we demonstrated various roles of mitochondria in mediating calcium signals from different sources;while mitochondria can globally potentiate the Ca2+entry associated with store release,mitochondria also locally control Ca2+release from the neighboring ER stores and assist in their refilling processes.
