Increase in Caffeine-induced Ca2+ release in iPSCs derived neuronal cells from GD. (a) (Left) Maximum intensity projection (MIP) images of Fluor-8 fluorescence of iPSCs-derived neuronal cells from control, GD3-1 and GD3-2 samples. (Right) Two representative traces recorded from cells marked with a respective color in the MIP images corresponding to the left panel during caffeine application (indicated by tick mark). (b) (Left) Maximum intensity projection (MIP) image of Fluor-8 fluorescence of iPSCs-derived neuronal cells from control, GD3-1 and GD3-2 samples pretreated with cyclopiazonic acid for 30 min. (Right) Two representative traces recorded from cells marked with a respective color in the MIP images corresponding left panel during caffeine application (indicated by tick mark). (c) (Left) Histograms representing the distribution of area under the curve of Ca2+ transients during caffeine application (blue area in A) in iPSCs-derived neuronal cells from control (black), GD3-1 (orange) and GD3-2 (red) samples. (Right) Cumulative distribution of area under the curve of Ca2+ transients during caffeine application (blue area in A) in iPSCs-derived neuronal cells from control (black), GD3-1 (orange) and GD3-2 (red) samples (Two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test: D = 0.33, p < 0.01 for Control vs. GD3-1; D = 0.19, p = 0.02 for Control vs. GD3-1, n = 177, 150 and 83 cells for control, GD3-1 and GD3-2, respectively). (d) Summary of the average area under the curve of Ca2+ transients during caffeine application per experimental in control, GD3-1 and GD3-2 groups (Kruskal–Wallis test: H(2) = 8.83, p = 0.02 for Control vs. GD3-1, p > 0.99 for Control vs. GD3-2, n = 9,8 and 8 technical replicates for Control, GD3-1 and GD3-2, respectively). e. Summary of the average area under the curve of Ca2+ transients during caffeine application with pretreatment with cyclopiazonic acid per experimental in control, GD3-1 and GD3-2 groups (Kruskal–Wallis test: H(2) = 0.89, p = 0.66, n = 7,7 and 6 technical replicates for Control, GD3-1 and GD3-2, respectively).
