Effect of sertraline, an antidepressant, on cytosolic free Ca(2+) levels ([Ca(2+)](i)) in human cancer cells is unclear. This study examined if sertraline altered basal [Ca(2+)](i) levels in suspended OC2 human oral cancer by using fura-2 as a Ca(2+)-sensitive fluorescent probe. At concentrations of 10-100 μM, sertraline induced a [Ca(2+)](i) rise in a concentration-dependent fashion. The Ca(2+) signal was reduced partly by removing extracellular Ca(2+) indicating that Ca(2+) entry and release both contributed to the [Ca(2+)](i) rise. Sertraline induced Mn(2+) influx, leading to quench of fura-2 fluorescence suggesting Ca(2+) influx. This Ca(2+) influx was inhibited by suppression of phospholipase A2, inhibition of store-operated Ca(2+) channels or by modulation of protein kinase C activity. In Ca(2+)-free medium, pretreatment with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor thapsigargin or 2,5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-hydroquinone (BHQ) nearly abolished sertraline-induced Ca(2+) release. Conversely, pretreatment with sertraline greatly reduced the inhibitor-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise, suggesting that sertraline released Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum. Inhibition of phospholipase C did not change sertraline-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. Together, in human oral cancer cells, sertraline induced [Ca(2+)](i) rises by causing phospholipase C-independent Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca(2+) influx via store-operated Ca(2+) channels. 相似文献

Celecoxib has been shown to have an antitumor effect in previous studies, but the mechanisms are unclear. Ca2+ is a key second messenger in most cells. The effect of celecoxib on cytosolic free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) in human suspended PC3 prostate cancer cells was explored by using fura-2 as a fluorescent dye. Celecoxib at concentrations between 5 and 30 μM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. The Ca2+ signal was reduced partly by removing extracellular Ca2+. Celecoxib-induced Ca2+ influx was not blocked by L-type Ca2+ entry inhibitors or protein kinase C/A modulators [phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), GF109203X, H-89], but was inhibited by the phospholipase A2 inhibitor, aristolochic acid. In Ca2+-free medium, 30 μM of celecoxib failed to induce a [Ca2+]i rise after pretreatment with thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum [ER] Ca2+ pump inhibitor). Conversely, pretreatment with celecoxib inhibited thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ release. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 did not change celecoxib-induced [Ca2+]i rises. Celecoxib induced slight cell death in a concentration-dependent manner, which was enhanced by chelating cytosolic Ca2+ with BAPTA. Collectively, in PC3 cells, celecoxib induced [Ca2+]i rises by causing phospholipase C–independent Ca2+ release from the ER and Ca2+ influx via non-L-type, phospholipase A2-regulated Ca2+ channels. These data may contribute to the understanding of the effect of celecoxib on prostate cancer cells. 相似文献

The effect of the endogenous cannabinoid anandamide on cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and proliferation is largely unknown. This study examined whether anandamide altered Ca(2+) levels and caused Ca(2+)-dependent cell death in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. [Ca(2+)](i) and cell death were measured using the fluorescent dyes fura-2 and WST-1 respectively. Anandamide at concentrations above 5 muM increased [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner. The Ca(2+) signal was reduced by 78% by removing extracellular Ca(2+). The anandamide-induced Ca(2+) influx was insensitive to L-type Ca(2+) channel blockers and the cannabinoid receptor antagonist AM 251, but was inhibited differently by aristolochic acid, WIN 55,212-2 (a cannabinoid receptor agonist), phorbol ester, GF 109203X and forskolin. After pretreatment with thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor), anandamide-induced Ca(2+) release was inhibited. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 did not change anandamide-induced Ca(2+) release. At concentrations of 100 muM and 200 muM, anandamide killed 50% and 95% cells, respectively. The cytotoxic effect of 100 muM anandamide was completely reversed by pre-chelating cytosolic Ca(2+) with BAPTA. Collectively, in MDCK cells, anandamide induced [Ca(2+)](i) rises by causing Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum and Ca(2+) influx from extracellular space. Furthermore, anandamide can cause Ca(2+)-dependent cytotoxicity in a concentration-dependent manner. 相似文献

In human osteoblasts, the effect of the widely prescribed cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor celecoxib on intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](i)) and cell proliferation was explored by using fura-2 and the tetrazolium assay, respectively. Celecoxib at concentrations greater than 1microM caused a rapid rise in [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner ( EC 50= 10 microM). Celecoxib-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise was reduced by 90% by removal of extracellular Ca(2+), and by 30% by l-type Ca(2+) channel blockers. Celecoxib-induced Mn(2+)-associated quench of intracellular fura-2 fluorescence also suggests that celecoxib-induced extracellular Ca(2+) influx. In Ca(2+)-free medium, thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, caused a monophasic [Ca(2+)](i) rise, after which the increasing effect of celecoxib on [Ca(2+)](i) was greatly inhibited. Conversely, pretreatment with celecoxib to deplete intracellular Ca(2+) stores totally prevented thapsigargin from releasing more Ca(2+). U73122, an inhibitor of phoispholipase C, abolished histamine (an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent Ca(2+) mobilizer)-induced, but not celecoxib-induced, [Ca(2+)](i) rise. Pretreatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and forskolin to activate protein kinase C and adenylate cyclase, respectively, partly inhibited celecoxib-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise in Ca(2+)-containing medium. Separately, overnight treatment with 1-100microM celecoxib inhibited cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. These findings suggest that in human osteoblasts, celecoxib increases [Ca(2+)](i) by stimulating extracellular Ca(2+) influx and also by causing intracellular Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum via a phospholiase C-independent manner. Celecoxib may be cytotoxic at higher concentrations. 相似文献

The effect of sertraline, an antidepressant, on cytosolic-free Ca(2+) levels ([Ca(2+) ](i) ) in human cancer cells is unclear. This study examined whether sertraline altered basal [Ca(2+) ](i) levels in suspended PC3 human prostate cancer cells by using fura-2 as a Ca(2+) -sensitive fluorescent probe. At concentrations of 10-150 μM, sertraline induced a [Ca(2+) ](i) rise in a concentration-dependent fashion. The Ca(2+) signal was reduced partly by removing extracellular Ca(2+) indicating that Ca(2+) entry and release both contributed to the [Ca(2+) ](i) rise. Sertraline induced Mn(2+) influx, leading to quench of fura-2 fluorescence suggesting Ca(2+) influx. This Ca(2+) influx was inhibited by the suppression of store-operated Ca(2+) channels or by the modulation of protein kinase C activity. In Ca(2+) -free medium, pre-treatment with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor thapsigargin or 2,5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-hydroquinone nearly abolished sertraline-induced Ca(2+) release. Conversely, pre-treatment with sertraline greatly reduced the inhibitor-induced [Ca(2+) ](i) rise, suggesting that sertraline released Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum. Inhibition of phospholipase C inhibited sertraline-induced [Ca(2+) ](i) rise. At 20-30 μM, sertraline killed cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The cytotoxic effect of sertraline was enhanced by chelating cytosolic Ca(2+) with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid/AM. Annexin V-FITC data suggest that sertraline (20 and 30 μM) evoked apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. Together, in PC3 human prostate cancer cells, sertraline induced [Ca(2+) ](i) rises by causing phospholipase C-dependent Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum and via multiple Ca(2+) influx pathways that involve store-operated Ca(2+) channels. Sertraline also induced apoptosis that was not triggered by [Ca(2+) ](i) rise. 相似文献

Capsazepine has been widely used as a selective antagonist of vanilloid type 1 receptors; however, its other in vitro effect on most cell types is unknown. In human PC3 prostate cancer cells, the effect of capsazepine on intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](i)) and cytotoxicity was investigated by using fura-2 and tetrazolium, respectively. Capsazepine caused a rapid rise in [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC(50) value of 75 microM. Capsazepine-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise was reduced by 60% by removal of extracellular Ca(2+), suggesting that the capsazepine-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise was contributed by extracellular Ca(2+) influx and intracellular Ca(2+). Consistently, the capsazepine (200 microM)-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise was decreased by La(3+) by half. In Ca(2+)-free medium, thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, caused a monophasic [Ca(2+)](i) rise, after which the effect of capsazepine on [Ca(2+)](i) was inhibited by 80%. Conversely, pretreatment with capsazepine partly reduced thapsigargin-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, abolished histamine (an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent Ca(2+) mobilizer)-induced, but not capsazepine-induced, [Ca(2+)](i) rise. These findings suggest that in human PC3 prostate cancer cells, capsazepine increases [Ca(2+)](i) by evoking Ca(2+) influx and releasing Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum via a phospholiase C-independent manner. Overnight incubation with capsazepine (200 microM) killed 37% of cells, which could not be prevented by chelating intracellular Ca(2+) with BAPTA. 相似文献

In human osteosarcoma MG63 cells, effect of triethyltin, an environmental toxicant, on intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) was measured by using fura-2. Triethyltin (1-50 μM) caused a rapid and sustained plateau rise of [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner (EC(50)=10 μM). Triethyltin-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise was prevented by 50% by removal of extracellular Ca(2+) but was not altered by voltage-gated Ca(2+) channel blockers. In Ca(2+)-free medium, thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+)-ATPase, caused a monophasic [Ca(2+)](i) rise, after which the increasing effect of triethyltin on [Ca(2+)](i) was attenuated by 60%; also, pretreatment with triethyltin abolished thapsigargin-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase. Depletion of mitochondrial Ca(2+) with carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP; 2 μM) did not affect triethyltin-induced Ca(2+) release. U73122, an inhibitor of phoispholipase C, abolished ATP (but not triethyltin)-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. A low concentration (1 μM) of triethyltin failed to alter ATP and bradykinin-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rises. These findings suggest that triethyltin rapidly increases [Ca(2+)](i) in osteoblasts by stimulating both extracellular Ca(2+) influx and intracellular Ca(2+) release via as yet unidentified mechanism(s). 相似文献

The effect of the antidepressant desipramine on intracellular Ca(2+) movement and viability in prostate cancer cells has not been explored previously. The present study examined whether desipramine could alter Ca(2+) handling and viability in human prostate PC3 cancer cells. Cytosolic free Ca(2+) levels ([Ca(2+)](i)) in populations of cells were measured using fura-2 as a probe. Desipramine at concentrations above 10 microM increased [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner. The responses saturated at 300 microM desipramine. The Ca(2+) signal was reduced by half by removing extracellular Ca(2+), but was unaffected by nifedipine, nicardipine, nimodipine, diltiazem or verapamil. In Ca(2+)-free medium, after treatment with 300 microM desipramine, 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor) failed to release Ca(2+) from endoplasmic reticulum. Conversely, desipramine failed to release more Ca(2+) after thapsigargin treatment. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 did not affect desipramine-induced Ca(2+) release. Overnight incubation with 10-800 microM desipramine decreased viability in a concentration-dependent manner. Chelation of cytosolic Ca(2+) with BAPTA did not reverse the decreased cell viability. Collectively, the data suggest that in PC3 cells, desipramine induced a [Ca(2+)](i) increase by causing Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum in a phospholipase C-independent fashion and by inducing Ca(2+) influx. Desipramine decreased cell viability in a concentration-dependent, Ca(2+)-independent manner. 相似文献

The effect of the insecticide methoxychlor on the physiology of oral cells is unknown. This study aimed to explore the effect of methoxychlor on cytosolic Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](i)) in human oral cancer cells (OC2) by using the Ca(2+)-sensitive fluorescent dye fura-2. Methoxychlor at 5-20 μM increased [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner. The signal was reduced by 70% by removing extracellular Ca(2+). Methoxychlor-induced Ca(2+) entry was not affected by nifedipine, econazole, SK&F96365 and protein kinase C modulators but was inhibited by the phospholipase A2 inhibitor aristolochic acid. In Ca(2+)-free medium, treatment with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor thapsigargin or 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone (BHQ) inhibited or abolished methoxychlor-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. Incubation with methoxychlor also inhibited thapsigargin- or BHQ-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 did not alter methoxychlor-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. At 5-20 μM, methoxychlor killed cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The cytotoxic effect of methoxychlor was not reversed by chelating cytosolic Ca(2+) with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid/AM (BAPTA/AM). Annexin V-FITC data suggest that methoxychlor (10 and 20 μM) evoked apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. Together, in human OC2, methoxychlor induced a [Ca(2+)](i) rise probably by inducing phospholipase C-independent Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca(2+) entry via phospholipase A(2)-sensitive channels. Methoxychlor induced cell death that may involve apoptosis. 相似文献

The effect of melittin on cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and viability is largely unknown. This study examined whether melittin alters Ca(2+) levels and causes Ca(2+)-dependent cell death in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. [Ca(2+)](i) and cell death were measured using the fluorescent dyes fura-2 and WST-1 respectively. Melittin at concentrations above 0.5 microM increased [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner. The Ca(2+) signal was reduced by 75% by removing extracellular Ca(2+). The melittin-induced Ca(2+) influx was also implicated by melittin-caused Mn(2+) influx. After pretreatment with 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor), melittin-induced Ca(2+) release was inhibited; and conversely, melittin pretreatment abolished thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) release. At concentrations of 0.5-20 microM, melittin killed cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The cytotoxic effect of 0.5 microM melittin was nearly completely reversed by prechelating cytosolic Ca(2+) with BAPTA. Melittin at 0.5-2 microM caused apoptosis as assessed by flow cytometry of propidium iodide staining. Collectively, in MDCK cells, melittin induced a [Ca(2+)](i) rise by causing Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum and Ca(2+) influx from extracellular space. Furthermore, melittin can cause Ca(2+)-dependent cytotoxicity in a concentration-dependent manner. 相似文献

In human osteosarcoma MG63 cells, the effect of desipramine, an antidepressant, on intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) was measured by using fura-2. Desipramine (>10 micromol/l) caused a rapid and sustained rise of [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner (EC(50) = 200 micromol/l). Desipramine-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise was prevented by 80% by removal of extracellular Ca(2+) but was not altered by voltage-gated Ca(2+) channel blockers. In Ca(2+)-free medium, thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+)-ATPase, caused a monophasic [Ca(2+)](i) rise, after which the increasing effect of desipramine on [Ca(2+)](i) was abolished; also, pretreatment with desipramine partly reduced thapsigargin-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase. U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, did not affect desipramine-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. Overnight incubation with 10 micromol/l desipramine did not alter cell proliferation, but killed 32 and 89% of cells at concentrations of 100 and 200 micromol/l, respectively. These findings suggest that desipramine rapidly increases [Ca(2+)](i) in osteoblasts by stimulating both extracellular Ca(2+) influx and intracellular Ca(2+) release, and is cytotoxic at high concentrations. 相似文献

In human osteosarcoma MG63 cells, the effect of the neuroprotective drug riluzole on the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) was measured using fura-2. Riluzole (50-500 micromol/l) caused a rapid and sustained plateau increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner (EC(50) = 150 micromol/l). The riluzole-induced rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was prevented by 58 and 20% by extracellular Ca(2+) removal and nifedipine, respectively, but was not changed by La(3+) and verapamil. In Ca(2+)-free medium, thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+)-ATPase, caused a monophasic increase in [Ca(2+)](i), after which the increasing effect of riluzole on [Ca(2+)](i) was attenuated by 84%; also, pretreatment with riluzole abolished the thapsigargin-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase. U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, abrogated the ATP (but not riluzole)-induced rise in [Ca(2+)](i). A low concentration (6 micromol/l) of riluzole selectively potentiated the bradykinin (but not ATP and histamine)-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i). These results suggest that riluzole rapidly increases [Ca(2+)](i) by stimulating both the extracellular Ca(2+) influx via a nifedipine-sensitive pathway and intracellular Ca(2+) release from the ER via an as yet unidentified mechanism(s). 相似文献

The effect of the natural essential oil thymol on cytosolic Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](i)) and viability in human glioblastoma cells was examined. The Ca(2+)-sensitive fluorescent dye fura-2 was applied to measure [Ca(2+)](i). Thymol at concentrations of 400-1000 μM induced a [Ca(2+)](i) rise in a concentration-dependent fashion. The response was decreased partially by removal of extracellular Ca(2+). Thymol-induced Ca(2+) signal was not altered by nifedipine, econazole, SK&F96365, and protein kinase C activator phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), but was inhibited by the protein kinase C inhibitor GF109203X. When extracellular Ca(2+) was removed, incubation with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor thapsigargin or 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone (BHQ) abolished thymol-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. Incubation with thymol also abolished thapsigargin or BHQ-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 abolished thymol-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. At concentrations of 200-800 μM, thymol killed cells in a concentration-dependent manner. This cytotoxic effect was not changed by chelating cytosolic Ca(2+) with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid/acetoxy methyl (BAPTA/AM). Annexin V/propidium iodide staining data suggest that thymol (200, 400 and 600 μM) induced apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. Collectively, in human glioblastoma cells, thymol induced a [Ca(2+)](i) rise by inducing phospholipase C- and protein kinase C-dependent Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca(2+) entry via non store-operated Ca(2+) channels. Thymol induced cell death that may involve apoptosis. 相似文献

The effect of tamoxifen on Ca(2+) signaling and viability in Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was investigated by using fura-2 as a Ca(2+) probe. Tamoxifen evoked a rise in cytosolic free Ca(2+) levels ([Ca(2+)](i)) concentration-dependently between 1 and 50 microM with an EC50 of 10 microM. The response was decreased by extracellular Ca(2+) removal. In Ca(2+)-free medium, pretreatment with 5 microM tamoxifen abolished the [Ca(2+)](i) increase induced by the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor thapsigargin (1 microM), but pretreatment with brefeldin A (50 microM; a Ca(2+) mobilizer of the Golgi complex), thapsigargin (an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump), and carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP; a mitochondrial uncoupler), only partly inhibited tamoxifen-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increases. This suggests that tamoxifen released Ca(2+) from multiple pools. Addition of 3 mM Ca(2+) induced a [Ca(2+)](i) rise after pretreatment with 5 microM tamoxifen in Ca(2+)-free medium. Inhibiting inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation with the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 (2 microM) did not alter 5 microM tamoxifen-induced Ca(2+) release. The [Ca(2+)](i) increase induced by 5 microM tamoxifen was not altered by La(3+), nifedipine, verapamil, or diltiazem. Tamoxifen (1-10 microM) decreased cell viability in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Tamoxifen (5 microM) also increased [Ca(2+)](i) in neutrophils, bladder cancer cells, and prostate cancer cells from humans and glioma cells from rats. Collectively, it was found that tamoxifen increased [Ca(2+)](i) in MDCK cells by releasing Ca(2+) from multiple Ca(2+) stores in a manner independent of the production of inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate and also by triggering Ca(2+) influx from extracellular space. The [Ca(2+)](i) increase was accompanied by cytotoxicity. 相似文献

The effect of the estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) on cytosolic free Ca(2+) levels ([Ca(2+)](i)) in MG63 human osteoblasts was explored by using fura-2 as a Ca(2+) indicator. DES at concentrations between 5--20 microM induced an immediate increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC(50) of 10 microM. Removing extracellular Ca(2+) reduced the Ca(2+) signal by 70%. Pretreatment with 50 microM La(3+) or 10 microM of nifedipine, verapamil and diltiazem did not change 20 microM DES-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increases. Addition of 3 mM Ca(2+) increased [Ca(2+)](i) in cells pretreated with 20 microM DES in Ca(2+)-free medium. Pretreatment with 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor) to deplete the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) store partly inhibited 20 microM DES-induced Ca(2+) release, but addition of carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP; a mitochondrial uncoupler) and thapsigargin together abolished DES-induced Ca(2+) release. Conversely, pretreatment with 20 microM DES abrogated CCCP- and thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) release. Inhibition of phospholipase C activity with 2 microM U73122 did not alter 20 microM DES-induced Ca2+ release. Another estrogen 17beta-estradiol also increased [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 of 7 microM. Together, the data indicate that in human osteoblasts, DES increased [Ca(2+)](i) via causing Ca(2+) release from both mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum in a phospholipase C-independent manner, and by causing Ca(2+) influx. 相似文献

The effect of the oxidizing agent thimerosal on cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) and proliferation has not been explored in human osteoblast-like cells. This study examined whether thimerosal alters Ca(2+) levels and causes cell death in MG63 human osteosarcoma cells. [Ca(2+)]i and cell death were measured using the fluorescent dyes fura-2 and WST-1, respectively. Thimerosal at concentrations above 5 microM increased [Ca(2+)]i in a concentration-dependent manner. The Ca(2+) signal was reduced by 80% by removing extracellular Ca(2+). The thimerosal-induced Ca(2+) influx was sensitive to blockade of La(3+), and dithiothreitol (50 microM) but was insensitive to nickel and several L-type Ca(2+) channel blockers. After pretreatment with 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor), thimerosal failed to induce [Ca(2+)]i rises. Inhibition of phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122 did not change thimerosal-induced [Ca(2+)]i rises. At concentrations of 5, 10 and 20 microM thimerosal killed 33, 55 and 100% cells, respectively. The cytotoxic effect of 5 microM thimerosal was reversed by 54% by prechelating cytosolic Ca(2+) with BAPTA. Collectively, in MG63 cells, thimerosal induced a [Ca(2+)]i rise by causing Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum stores and Ca(2+) influx from extracellular space. Furthermore, thimerosal can cause Ca(2+)-related cytotoxicity in a concentration-dependent manner. 相似文献

The effect of ketoconazole on Ca(2+) signaling in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was investigated by using fura-2 as a Ca(2+) probe. Ketoconazole evoked increases in cytosolic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) concentration dependently. The response was decreased by external Ca(2+) removal. In Ca(2+)-free medium, pretreatment with ketoconazole abolished the [Ca(2+)](i) rise induced by thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump. Addition of 3 mM Ca(2+) induced a significant [Ca(2+)](i) rise after preincubation with 150 microM ketoconazole in Ca(2+)-free medium. Pretreatment with aristolochic acid (40 microM) to inhibit phospholipase A(2) inhibited the 150-microM-ketoconazole-induced internal Ca(2+) release by 37%, but inhibition of phospholipase C with 1-(6-((17beta-3-methoxyestra-1,3, 5(10)-trien-17-yl)amino)hexyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (U73122) (2 microM) had no effect. Collectively, we found that ketoconazole increases [Ca(2+)](i) in MDCK cells by releasing Ca(2+) from thapsigargin-sensitive pools in a manner independent of the production of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate, followed by Ca(2+) influx from the external space. 相似文献

The effect of tamoxifen on cytosolic free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) and viability has not been explored in corneal epithelial cells. This study examined whether tamoxifen altered [Ca2+]i and viability in SIRC corneal epithelial cells. Tamoxifen at concentrations > or = 1 microM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 value of 6 microM. The Ca2+ signal was reduced substantially by removing extracellular Ca2+. Tamoxifen induced Mn2+ quench of fura-2 fluorescence implicating Ca2+ influx. The Ca2+ influx was insensitive to Ca2+ entry inhibitors and protein kinase C modulators. After pretreatment with thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor), tamoxifen-induced [Ca2+]i rises were abolished; conversely, tamoxifen pretreatment abolished thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]i rises. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 did not change the [Ca2+]i rises. At concentrations of 5-30 microM, tamoxifen killed cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The cytotoxic effect of 15 microM tamoxifen was not reversed by prechelating cytosolic Ca2+ with BAPTA/AM. Apoptosis was induced by 5-30 microM tamoxifen. Tamoxifen (30 microM did not induce production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Collectively, in SIRC cells, tamoxifen induced [Ca2+]i rises by causing Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum in a phospholipase C-independent manner, and Ca2+ influx via unknown pathways. Tamoxifen-caused cytotoxicity was partly mediated by a Ca2+-independent apoptotic pathway. 相似文献

The effect of fendiline, an anti-anginal drug, on cytosolic free Ca(2+) levels ([Ca(2+)](i)) in MG63 human osteosarcoma cells was explored by using fura-2 as a Ca(2+) indicator. Fendiline at concentrations between 1 and 200 microM increased [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner and the signal saturated at 100 microM. The Ca(2+) signal was inhibited by 65+/-5% by Ca(2+) removal and by 38+/-5% by 10 microM nifedipine, but was unchanged by 10 microM La(3+) or verapamil. In Ca(2+)-free medium, pre-treatment with 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor) to deplete the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) store inhibited fendiline-induced intracellular Ca(2+) release. The Ca(2+) release induced by 50 microM fendiline appeared to be independent of IP(3) because the [Ca(2+)](i) increase was unaltered by inhibiting phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122. Collectively, the results suggest that in MG63 cells fendiline caused an increase in [Ca(2+)](i) by inducing Ca(2+) influx and Ca(2+) release in an IP(3)-independent manner. 相似文献

The effect of N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-arachidonamide (AM-404), a drug commonly used to inhibit the anandamide transporter, on intracellular free Ca(2+) levels ([Ca(2+)](i)) was studied in Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. [Ca(2+)](i) was measured using fura-2 as a Ca(2+) indicator. Between 2 and 40 microM, AM-404 increased [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent fashion with an EC(50) value of 20 microM. Removal of extracellular Ca(2+) abolished the [Ca(2+)](i) signals. The [Ca(2+)](i) increase was nearly abrogated by 10 microM La(3+), but was insensitive to 50 microM Ni(2+) and 10 microM of nifedipine, nimodipine, nicardipine, and verapamil. At a concentration that did not increase [Ca(2+)](i), AM-404 (1 microM) did not alter the [Ca(2+)](i) increases induced by 10 microM ATP and 1 microM bradykinin. AM-404 (5 microM) also increased [Ca(2+)](i) in Chang liver cells, PC3 human prostate cancer cells, BFTC human bladder cancer cells, and MG63 human osteoblast-like cells. Together, this study shows for the first time that AM-404 at concentrations commonly used to inhibit the anandamide transporter in various systems induced an increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in different cell types. The [Ca(2+)](i) increase was solely due to extracellular Ca(2+) influx. Thus caution must be exercised in using AM-404 as a selective inhibitor of the anandamide transporter. 相似文献
