Adrenal medulla chromaffin cells (CCs) are invaluable cell models for neurosecretion studies [5]. Significant differences in Ca2+ dynamics and exocytosis exist in CCs from several mammalian species (bovine, rat, guinea pig, cat, human) [7]. Nonetheless, the interest in mouse CCs (MCCs) increased disproportionally after the advent of transgenic mouse models to explore, from the complexities of Ca2+ signaling and exocytosis to alterations of Ca2+ homeostasis in neurodegenerative diseases [5]. There is a consensus that bovine chromaffin cells (BCCs) express an efficient mechanism of [Ca2+]i signal amplification by which the initial [Ca2+]i elevation opens ryanodine receptors (RyRs) from the ER through which Ca2+ is released into the cytosol [2, 8]. An influential article [10] reported that MCCs lack RyR-mediated Ca 2+ -induced Ca 2+ release (CICR), but two recent studies in CCs from C57BL/6 mice [4, 11] conclusively support the presence of RyR and CICR. A differential role of mitochondria Ca2+ handling has also been reported: They sequester a more significant fraction of Ca2+ influx in MCCs than in BCCs [1]. Martínez-Ramírez et al., in this issue [9], compare the effects of acute, reversible SERCA pump inhibition by ciclopiazonic acid (CPA) on exocytotic responses and intracellular Ca2+ signals elicited by application to MCCs or BCCs of short ACh pulses at different intervals and extracellular [Ca2+]. The results could not be more contrasting: enhancement of exocytosis during CPA treatment and inhibition of exocytosis upon CPA washout in MCCs; inhibition of This article is a commentary to the original article https://doi.org/10.1007/ s00424-020-02483-1 * Arturo Hernández-Cruz [email protected] 1

exocytosis during CPA exposure, and rebound exocytosis recovery upon CPA washout in BCCs. These differences, found under identical recording conditions at 37 °C, appear genuine. Intriguingly, CPA only reduced ACh-induced Ca2+ signals slightly in both cell types. Why the reversible pharmacological inhibition of ER Ca2+ uptake affects so differently ACh-elicited CA exocytosis in MCCs and BCCs? The authors suggest that the opposite effects of CPA on ACh-induced exocytosis in MCCs and BCCs result from different [Ca2+]i handling by the ER and mitochondria, affecting vesicle traffic and refilling of the rapid release pool. During the SERCA’s acute blockade, more Ca2+ is diverted to and taken up by the mitochondria through their Ca2+ uniporter. Conversely, upon restoration of ER Ca2+ uptake, mitochondria release Ca2+ through the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, wh
