By using different patterns of electrical stimulation to mimic electricity of nerve, the types of calcium oscillation and their effects on nAChR gene expression activity were observed in differentiated C2C12 cells (mouse skeletal myoblastic cell line) C2C12 cells were loaded with the Ca 2+ sensitive indicator Fluo 3 and imaged with a confocal microscope to record calcium oscillation Electrical stimuli were applied to induce different patterns of calcium oscillation of differentiated C2C12 cells transfected with pGL3 γ,which was the expression vector containing the luciferase reporter gene driven by the control region of the nAChRγ subunit gene The promoter activity of the nAChRγ subunit was examined The results showed that (1) three types of calcium oscillation in differentiated C2C12 cells were induced by different electrical stimulation: global calcium oscillation, transmission of local calcium oscillation and local calcium oscillation induced global calcium oscillation; (2) calcium oscillation enhanced protein kinase C (PKC) activities;(3) the promoter activity of the nAChRγ subunit was suppressed after electrical stimulation, but there was no difference among three patterns of electrical stimulation These results suggest that electrical stimulation can suppress nAChRγ subunit promoter activity, but there is no close relation between nAChRγ gene activities and the patterns of stimulation It is likely that calcium activated protein kinase C (PKC) dependent pathway is not the only way in the regulation of nAChRγ gene expression
