The calcium ion (Ca2+) is a universal and versatile signal transduction molecule, and plays a prominent role of defining the cellular state. There are many types of metabotropic receptors contributing to intracellular Ca2+ signaling. Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) expressing abundantly in striatum also related to the Ca2+ signaling and are thought to be related to Parkinson's disease. However, it is not clear that the character of the Ca2+ signaling and which signal cascade contributes to that in the striatum. Here we show that both neurons and astrocytes of the striatum exhibited, the spontaneous slow Ca2+ oscillations, which lasted up to approximately 200 s. This slow Ca2+ oscillation was blocked by the depletion of the intracellular Ca2+ store and by an antagonist of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors. We found that mGluR5 decreased significantly the rate of the slow Ca2+ oscillation in both neurons and astrocytes. Thus, the mGluR5-IP3 signal cascade is the primary contributor to the slow Ca2+ oscillation in both neurons and astrocytes. To clarify the cell type of striatal neurons, we conducted the Ca2+ imaging study in the transgenic mice expressing yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) in D1 or D2 dopamine receptor (D1R or D2R)-positive neurons. In this study, we found the slow Ca2+ oscillations in both the D1R- and D2R-positive neurons in the striatum. This result suggested that striatal projection neurons participating direct and indirect pathway exhibited the slow Ca2+ oscillations.
