Cell Cycle-Dependent Localization of Voltage-Dependent Calcium Channels and the Mitotic Apparatus in a Neuroendocrine Cell Line(AtT-20)
Figure 4
Sites of calcium transients during mitosis. Calcium transients correspond with sites of CaV1 immunofluorescence in AtT-20 Cells during mitosis. Simultaneous imaging of (a) Fluo4 (M) intracellular calcium transients and (b) cell morphology by DIC in AtT-20 cells during cytokinesis. Regions: 1=midbody; 2, 3=spindle mid-zone; 4=nuclear region of interphase cell; 5=background (media only). (c) Plot of fluorescence units for each region over time (sec). Regions of enhanced calcium transients correspond to midbody (1) and spindle mid-zone (2, 3). Break in X-axis marks time of acquisition following loading of Fluo-4.
