Interplay of mitochondrial calcium signalling and reactive oxygen species production in the brain.

- Abstract
Intracellular communication and regulation in brain cells is controlled by the ubiquitous Ca2+ and by redox signalling. Both of these independent signalling systems regulate most of the processes in cells including the cell surviving mechanism or cell death. In physiology Ca2+ can regulate and trigger reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by various enzymes and in mitochondria but ROS could also transmit redox signal to calcium levels via modification of calcium channels or phospholipase activity. Changes in calcium or redox signalling could lead to severe pathology resulting in excitotoxicity or oxidative stress. Interaction of the calcium and ROS is essential to trigger opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore -- the initial step of apoptosis, Ca2+ and ROS-induced oxidative stress involved in necrosis and ferroptosis. Here we review the role of redox signalling and Ca2+ in cytosol and mitochondria in the physiology of brain cells -- neurons and astrocytes and how this integration can lead to pathology, including ischaemia injury and neurodegeneration.
