/* * Signal-induced Ca2+ oscillations: Properties of a model based * on (Ca2+)-induced Ca2+ release * * Model Status * * This model has been built with the differential expressions * in Dupont's 1991 paper. This CellML model is known to run in * PCEnv and COR to replicate the published results for the response * to a transient increase in InsP3 using a pulse and decay of * beta at tp=4 (figure 4B). * * Paper Abstract * * We consider a simple, minimal model for signal-induced Ca2+ * oscillations based on Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release. The model * takes into account the existence of two pools of intracellular * Ca2+, namely, one sensitive to inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate * (InsP3) whose synthesis is elicited by the stimulus, and one * insensitive to InsP3. The discharge of the latter pool into * the cytosol is activated by cytosolic Ca2+. Oscillations in * cytosolic Ca2+ arise in this model either spontaneously or in * an appropriate range of external stimulation; these oscillations * do not require the concomitant, periodic variation of InsP3. * The following properties of the model are reviewed and compared * with experimental observations: (a) Control of the frequency * of Ca2+ oscillations by the external stimulus or extracellular * Ca2+; (b) correlation of latency with period of Ca2+ oscillations * obtained at different levels of stimulation; (c) effect of a * transient increase in InsP3; (d) phase shift and transient suppression * of Ca2+ oscillations by Ca2+ pulses, and (e) propagation of * Ca2+ waves. It is shown that on all these counts the model provides * a simple, unified explanation for a number of experimental observations * in a variety of cell types. The model based on Ca(2+)-induced * Ca2+ release can be extended to incorporate variations in the * level of InsP3 as well as desensitization of the InsP3 receptor; * besides accounting for the phenomena described by the minimal * model, the extended model might also account for the occurrence * of complex Ca2+ oscillations. * * model diagram * * [[Image file: dupont_1991.png]] * * Schematic diagram of the cell model for signal-induced, intracellular * calcium oscillations. * * The complete original paper reference is cited below: * * Signal-induced Ca2+ oscillations: properties of a model based * on Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release, Dupont G, Berridge MJ, Goldbeter * A, 1991, Cell Calcium 12, 73-85.
