Mitochondria are strategically localized at sites of Ca2+ release, such that increases in cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]c) from either internal Ca2+ stores or Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane can be rapidly transported into the mitochondrial matrix. The consequent elevation in mitochondrial Ca2+ ([Ca2+]m) stimulates the Ca2+-sensitive intramitochondrial dehydrogenases, resulting in elevation of NAD(P)H. The preferential coupling between increases in [Ca2+]c and [Ca2+]m is one proposed mechanism to coordinate mitochondrial ATP production with cellular energy demand. In liver cells, hormones that act through the second messenger inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate (IP3) generate oscillatory [Ca2+]c signals, which result from a periodic Ca2+- and IP3-mediated activation/deactivation of intracellular Ca2+ release channels. The [Ca2+]c spiking frequency increases with agonist dose, whereas the amplitude of each [Ca2+]c spike is constant. This frequency modulation of [Ca2+]c spiking encodes the signal from the extracellular agonist, which is then decoded by the internal Ca2+-sensitive proteins such as the Ca2+-sensitive intramitochondrial dehydrogenases. Our studies have investigated the relationship between IP3-dependent [Ca2+]c signals and [Ca2+]m in primary cultured hepatocytes. In addition, the changes in cellular [Ca2+] levels have been correlated with the regulation of intramitochondrial NAD(P)H levels, pyruvate dehydrogenase activity and the magnitude of the mitochondrial proton motive force.
