| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although the magnesium ion (Mg2+) is one of the most abundant divalent cations in cells and known to play critical roles in many physiological processes, its mobilization is still obscure. To understand the Mg2+ function, first we developed a method for Mg2+ imaging in cellular local area using a novel fluorescent Mg2+ probe, “KMG-104-AsH”, and succeeded to visualize localized Mg2+ release in mitochondrial intermembrane space (MIS) induced by a protonophore, FCCP. Furthermore, we also investigated that nitric oxide (NO) activation of mitochondria ATP sensitive potassium channel, and found that NO induces Mg2+ release from mitochondria by mitochondrial depolarization via cGMP/PKG/mitoKATP channel pathway. Finally, we investigated the Parkinson-like cell death by the application of MPP+（1-methyl- 4-phenylpyridinium ion）to differentiated PC12 cells. Higher concentration of intracelluar Mg2+ moderated the toxic effect of MPP+ and suppressed the cell death.
