Receptor regulation of [Ca2+]i was monitored in individual BC3H-1 muscle cells with intracellularly trapped fura-2 using digital imaging analysis techniques. Activation of alpha 1-adrenergic or H1-histaminergic receptors resulted in multiple bursts, or oscillations, of elevated [Ca2+]i with an average interval frequency of approximately 1.8 min-1. The duration of oscillatory behavior was generally more prolonged in response to phenylephrine than in response to histamine. Additionally, a larger fraction of the cells responded with [Ca2+]i oscillations to phenylephrine (approximately 90%) than to histamine (approximately 60%), although the majority of cells produced oscillations in response to both agonists. In most cells, the receptor-mediated [Ca2+]i oscillations continued for several minutes in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, although the amplitude of the individual peaks gradually decreased. The activation of [Ca2+]i oscillations by H1-receptors was more dependent upon extracellular Ca2+ than those elicited by alpha 1-receptors, reflecting the greater dependency of the histaminergic response on Ca2+ influx. Readdition of Ca2+ to the incubation buffer resulted in the resumption of the [Ca2+]i oscillations. These results indicate that considerable cycling of Ca2+ between the cytoplasm and the endoplasmic reticulum must occur. Receptor-mediated [Ca2+]i oscillations were much more prevalent in subconfluent cells than in confluent cells, possibly due to increased coupling of the cells at higher densities. The cells were capable of responding independently of one another, since sister cells displayed unique temporal responses immediately following cell division. Thus, the linkage of receptor occupancy to [Ca2+]i elevation is a functionally unique property for each individual cell and can be influenced by epigenetic factors.
