The effect of histamine on intracellular free Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) in PC3 human prostate cancer cells and the underlying mechanism were evaluated using fura-2 as a Ca2+ dye. Histamine at concentrations between 0.1 and 50 microM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 value of 1 microM. The [Ca2+]i response comprised an initial rise and a slow decay, which returned to baseline within 3 min. Extracellular Ca2+ removal inhibited 50% of the [Ca2+]i signal. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, after cells were treated with 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor), 10 microM histamine did not increase [Ca2+]i. After pretreatment with 10 microM histamine in a Ca2+-free medium for several minutes, addition of 3 mM Ca2+ induced [Ca2+]i increases. Histamine (10 microM)-induced intracellular Ca2+ release was abolished by inhibiting phospholipase C with 2 microM 1-(6-((17 beta-3- methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl)amino)hexyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (U73122), and by 10 microM pyrilamine but was not altered by 50 microM cimetidine. Collectively, the present study shows that histamine induced [Ca2+]i transients in PC3 human prostate cancer cells by stimulating H1 histamine receptors leading to Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum in an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent manner, and by inducing Ca2+ entry. 相似文献

The effect of the antidepressant fluoxetine on Ca2+ signaling in cultured cells was largely unknown. The effect of various concentrations of fluoxetine on [Ca 2+] i in populations of bladder female transitional cancer (BFTC) cells was evaluated by using fura-2 as a Ca2+ probe. Fluoxetine increased [Ca 2+] i concentration dependently (20-100 microM) with an EC50 value of 30 microM. The response was inhibited by 50-60% on extracellular Ca2+ removal. In Ca2+ -free medium, pretreatment with 1 microM thapsigargin (an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump) abolished 50 microM fluoxetine-induced Ca2+ release; whereas pretreatment with fluoxetine did not alter the thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ response. Addition of 3 mM Ca2+ increased [Ca 2+] i after pretreatment with 50 microM fluoxetine in Ca2+ -free medium, suggestive of fluoxetine-induced capacitative Ca2+ entry. Suppression of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation by 2 microM U73122 (a phospholipase C inhibitor) did not affect 50 microM fluoxetine-induced Ca2+ release. Collectively, this study shows that fluoxetine increased [Ca 2+] i in bladder cancer cells in a concentration-dependent fashion, by releasing Ca2+ from thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ stores in an IP3-independent manner, and by inducing Ca2+ influx from extracellular medium. 相似文献

This study examined the effect of tamoxifen, an anti-breast cancer drug, on Ca2+ handling in bladder female transitional cancer cells. Changes in cytosolic free Ca2+ levels were recorded by using the Ca2+-sensitive dye fura-2. In a dose-dependent manner, tamoxifen induced intracellular free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) increases between 5 and 20 microM with an EC50 of 10 microM. External Ca2+ removal reduced the response by 60+/-6%. Addition of 3 mM Ca2+ caused a [Ca2+]i increase after pretreatment with 10 microM tamoxifen in Ca2+-free medium. In Ca2+-free medium, pretreatment with 10 microM tamoxifen abolished the [Ca2+]i increase induced by 1 microM thapsigargin, an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor. Conversely, pretreatment with 1 microM thapsigargin prevented tamoxifen from releasing more Ca2+. Inhibition of phospholipase C-dependent inositol 1,4,5-tris-phosphate formation with 2 microM U73122 did not alter 10 microM tamoxifen-induced Ca2+ release. The [Ca2+]i increase induced by 5 microM tamoxifen was not altered by 10 microM La3+, nifedipine, verapamil, and diltiazem. Collectively, it was found that tamoxifen increased [Ca2+]i in bladder cancer cells by releasing Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores in a manner independent of phospholipase C activity, and by inducing Ca2+ entry from external medium. 相似文献

Riluzole is an effective neuroprotective drug. Its effect on intracellular free Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) has not been explored. This study examined the effect of riluzole on [Ca2+]i in IMR32 neuroblastoma cells using fura-2 as a Ca2+ probe. Riluzole 0.1-1 mM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ inhibited the response by 52 +/- 5%. The [Ca2+]i increase induced by 0.2 mM riluzole was unaltered by 0.1 mM La3+ or 10 microM verapamil, but was inhibited by 51 +/- 4% by 10 microM nifedipine. In Ca2+-free medium, pretreatment with 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor) reduced the 0.2 mM riluzole-induced Ca2+ release by 44 +/- 3%; this reduction was augmented to 66 +/- 5% by additionally depleting the Ca2+ stores in the Golgi complex with 50 microM brefeldin A. Inhibition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation by 2 microM U73122, a phospholipase C inhibitor, did not affect Ca2+ release induced by 0.2 microM riluzole. It was concluded that the neuroprotective agent riluzole increased [Ca2+]i in IMR32 neuroblastoma cells concentration-dependently by releasing Ca2+ from multiple stores in an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-independent manner and also by inducing nifedipine-sensitive Ca2+ influx. 相似文献

The effect of 5,8,11-eicosatriynoic acid, a widely used lipoxygenase inhibitor, on Ca2+ fate in Madin Darby canine kidney cells was examined by using fura-2 as a Ca2+ probe. At concentrations between 2-100 microM 5,8,11-eicosatriynoic acid increased [Ca2+]i concentration-dependently with an EC50 of 20 microM . Extracellular Ca2+ removal decreased the Ca2+ signals, indicating that 5,8,11-eicosatriynoic acid triggered Ca2+ release and Ca2+ influx. 5,8,11 -Eicosatriynoic acid (30 microM) induced a [Ca2+]i increase in Ca2+-free medium after pretreatment with carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (2 microM), a mitochondrial uncoupler, and thapsigargin (1 microM), an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor for 20 min. Conversely, 5,8,11-eicosatriynoic acid pretreatment almost abolished the Ca2+ release induced by carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone and thapsigargin. These results suggest that 30 microM 5,8,11-eicosatriynoic acid released Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and other stores. Addition of 3 mM Ca2+ increased [Ca2+]i after preincubation with 2-50 microM 5,8,11-eicosatriynoic acid for 10 min. in Ca2+-free medium concentration-dependently. Pretreatment with 10 microM La3+ abolished 30 microM 5,8,11-eicosatriynoic acid -induced [Ca2+]i increases, but adding La3+ during the decay phase had no effect. 5,8,11-Eicosatriynoic acid-induced Ca2+ release was not altered by inhibiting phospholipase C with 2 microM 1-(6-((17beta-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl)amino)hexyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (U73122), but was decreased by 60% by 40 microM aristolochic acid. Several other lipoxygenase inhibitors such as baicalein (50 microM), 5.8.11.14-eicosatetraynoic acid (ETYA; 0.1-0.2 mM), caffeic acid (5-50 microM), esculetin (5-50 microM), alpha-pentyl-3-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)-benzenemethanol (REV-5901; 0.1-0.2 mM) and alpha-pentyl-4-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)-benzenemethanol (L-655238; 80-100 microM) had no effect on [Ca2+]i. Collectively, the data suggest that the lipoxygenase inhibitor 5,8,11-eicosatriynoic acid induced a [Ca2+]i increase in renal tubular cells concentration-dependently, by releasing intracellular Ca2+ from multiple stores in an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-independent manner, and by inducing extracellular Ca2+ influx in a La3+-sensitive manner. 相似文献

This study investigated the effect of the anti-anginal drug, fendiline, on intracellular free Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) in HA/ 22 human hepatoma cells by using fura-2 as a fluorescent Ca2+ dye. Fendiline (1-100 microM) increased [Ca2+]i with an EC50 of 25 microM. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ reduced the [Ca2+]i signals by 51 +/- 5%. Fendiline (10 microM)-induced Ca2+ release was abolished by pretreatment with 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor). Inhibition of phospholipase C with 2 microM 1-(6-((17beta-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl)amino)hexyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (U73122) did not alter 10 microM fendiline-induced Ca2+ release. Several other calmodulin antagonists, such as phenoxybenzamine (100-200 microM), trifluoperazine (5-50 microM), and fluphenazine-N-chloroethane (2-100 microM), had no effect on [Ca2+]i. Together, it was found that fendiline increased [Ca2+]i in human hepatoma cells by discharging Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum in an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-independent manner and by inducing Ca2+ entry. This effect of fendiline does not appear to be via antagonism of calmodulin. 相似文献

Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) is widely used as a pharmacological tool to inhibit lipoxygenases; however, recent evidence suggests that it increases renal intracellular [Ca2+]i via novel mechanisms. Here the effect of NDGA on Ca2+ signaling in MG63 osteoblastic cells was explored using fura-2 as a Ca2+ indicator. NDGA (2-50 microM) increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. The signal comprised an initial rise and an elevated phase over a time period of 4 min. Removing extracellular Ca2+ reduced 2-50 microM NDGA-induced signals by 62+/-2%. After incubation with 50 microM NDGA in Ca2+-free medium for several minutes, addition of 3 mM CaCl2 induced an increase in [Ca2+]i. NDGA (50 microM)-induced [Ca2+]i increases were not changed by pretreatment with 10 microM of verapamil, diltiazem, nifedipine, nimodipine and nicardipine. In Ca2+-free medium, pretreatment with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor thapsigargin (1 microM) inhibited 50 microM NDGA-induced [Ca2+]i increases by 69+/-3%. Inhibition of phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122 had little effect on 50 microM NDGA-induced Ca2+ release. Several other lipoxygenase inhibitors had no effect on basal [Ca2+]i. At a concentration that did not increase basal [Ca2+]i, NDGA (1 microM) did not alter 10 microM ATP- or 1 microM thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]i increases. Alteration of protein kinase C activity with 1 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate or 2 microM GF 109203X did not affect 50 microM NDGA-induced [Ca2+]i increases. Together, the results show that NDGA increased [Ca2+]i in osteoblasts in a lipoxygenase-independent manner, by releasing stored Ca2+ in a fashion independent of phospholipase C activity, and by causing Ca2+ influx. 相似文献

The effect of the carcinogen safrole on intracellular Ca2+ movement has not been explored in osteoblast-like cells. This study examined whether safrole could alter Ca2+ handling and viability in MG63 human osteosarcoma cells. Cytosolic free Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) in populations of cells were measured using fura-2 as a fluorescent Ca2+ probe. Safrole at concentrations above 130 microM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 value of 450 microM. The Ca2+ signal was reduced by 30% by removing extracellular Ca2+. Addition of Ca2+ after safrole had depleted intracellular Ca2+ induced Ca2+ influx, suggesting that safrole caused Ca2+ entry. In Ca2+-free medium, after pretreatment with 650 microM safrole, 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor) failed to release more Ca2+; and pretreatment with thapsigargin inhibited most of the safrole-induced [Ca2+]i increases. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 did not affect safrole-induced Ca2+ release; whereas activation of protein kinase C with phorbol ester enhanced safrole-induced [Ca2+]i increase. Trypan exclusion assays revealed that incubation with 65 microM safrole for 30 min did not kill cells, but incubation with 650 microM safrole for 10-30 min nearly killed all cells. Flow cytometry demonstrated that safrole evoked apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. Safrole-induced cytotoxicity was not reversed by chelation of Ca2+ with BAPTA. Collectively, the data suggest that in MG63 cells, safrole induced a [Ca2+]i increase by causing Ca2+ release mainly from the endoplasmic reticulum in a phospholipase C-independent manner. The safrole response involved Ca2+ influx and is modulated by protein kinase C. Furthermore, safrole can cause apoptosis in a Ca2+-independent manner. 相似文献

Carvedilol is a useful cardiovascular drug for treating heart failure, however, the in vitro effect on many cell types is unclear. In human MG63 osteosarcoma cells, the effect of carvedilol on intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) and cytotoxicity was explored by using fura-2 and tetrazolium, respectively. Carvedilol at concentrations greater than 1 microM caused a rapid rise in [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50=15 microM). Carvedilol-induced [Ca2+]i rise was reduced by 60% by removal of extracellular Ca2+. Carvedilol-induced Mn2+-associated quench of intracellular fura-2 fluorescence also suggests that carvedilol induced extracellular Ca2+ influx. In Ca2+-free medium, thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, caused a monophasic [Ca2+]i rise, after which the increasing effect of carvedilol on [Ca2+]i was inhibited by 50%. Conversely, pretreatment with carvedilol to deplete intracellular Ca2+ stores totally prevented thapsigargin from releasing more Ca2+. U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, abolished histamine (an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent Ca2+ mobilizer)-induced, but not carvedilol-induced, [Ca2+]i rise. Pretreatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and forskolin to activate protein kinase C and adenylate cyclase, respectively, did not alter carvedilol-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Separately, overnight treatment with 0.1-30 microM carvedilol inhibited cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. These findings suggest that in human MG63 osteosarcoma cells, carvedilol increases [Ca2+]i by stimulating extracellular Ca2+ influx and also by causing intracellular Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum and other stores via a phospholipase C-independent manner. Carvedilol may be cytotoxic to osteoblasts. 相似文献

The effect of fendiline, an antianginal drug, on cytosolic free Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) in populations of bladder female transitional carcinoma (BFTC) cells was explored using fura-2 as a Ca2+ indicator. Fendiline at concentrations between 3 and 200 micromol/l increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner and the signal saturated at 100 micromol/l. The [Ca2+]i signal was biphasic, with an initial rise and a slow decay. Ca2+ removal inhibited the Ca2+ signal by about half in peak amplitude. Adding 3 mmol/l Ca2+ increased [Ca2+]i in cells pretreated with 100 micromol/l fendiline in Ca2+ -free medium, suggesting that fendiline induced Ca2+ influx via capacitative Ca2+ entry. In Ca2+ -free medium, pretreatment with 1 micromol/l thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor) to deplete the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ store inhibited most of the 100 micromol/l fendiline-induced internal Ca2+ release; and conversely, pretreatment with 100 micromol/l fendiline partly inhibited 1 micromol/l thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ release. This indicates that the major internal Ca2+ store of fendiline-induced [Ca2+]i increases is located in the endoplasmic reticulum. The Ca2+ release induced by 100 micromol/l fendiline may be partly mediated by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, because the [Ca2+]i increase was inhibited by 50% by inhibiting phospholipase C with 2 micromol/l U73122. Fendiline (100 micromol/l) decreased cell viability by 12-44% after being added to cells for 2- 30 min. Together, the findings indicate that in BFTC cells, fendiline exerts a dual effect: mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ and induction of cell death. 相似文献

1. The effects of the specific protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, GF109203X, were measured on the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), and on histamine H1 receptor- and thapsigargin-mediated increases in [Ca2+]i in DDT1 MF-2 smooth muscle cells. 2. After pretreatment of cells with GF109203X (5 microM, 45 min), the histamine (100 microM)-induced initial rise in [Ca2+]i, representing Ca2+ mobilization from internal stores, was inhibited (by 59 +/- 7%). The slowly declining phase of the histamine induced Ca2+ response, reflecting Ca2+ entry, was enhanced (83 +/- 26%) in the presence of the PKC inhibitor. 3. The histamine induced release of Ca2+ from internal stores, measured after blocking Ca2+ entry with LaCl3 was inhibited by GF109203X in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50: 3.1 +/- 1.1 microM). 4. Histamine-induced formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) was not changed in the presence of GF109203X. 5. The PKC activating phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 1 microM), strongly reduced histamine-induced Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation (58 +/- 16%). This effect was reversed by GF109203X (5 microM). Furthermore, PMA diminished histamine evoked Ca2+ release (50 +/- 6%) and blocked Ca2+ entry completely. 6. The rise in [Ca2+]i caused by blocking endoplasmic reticulum Ca2(+)-ATPase with thapsigargin (1 microM), was strongly reduced (57 +/- 3%) after pretreatment of cells with GF109203X. Downregulation of PKC by long-term pretreatment of cells with PMA (1 microM, 48 h) did not abolish this effect of GF109203X (48 +/- 3% inhibition). 7. In permeabilized DDT, MF-2 cells preloaded with 45Ca2+ in the presence of GF109203X, the amount of 45Ca2+ released by Ins(1,4,5)P3 (10 microM) was markedly reduced (42 +/- 9%). GF109203X did not release Ca2+ itself and did not impair Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptor function. 8. Uptake of 45Ca2+ by intact cells, representing Ca2+ entry, was enhanced by GF109203X (65 +/- 11%), by histamine (24 +/- 6%) and also by thapsigargin (121 +/- 10%). The GF109203X- and the thapsigargin-induced uptake of 45Ca2+ were not additive. 9. These data suggest that GF109203X reduces the filling-state of intracellular Ins(1,4,5)P3 sensitive Ca2+ stores by inhibiting the Ca2+ uptake into these stores, thereby promoting store-dependent (capacitive) Ca2+ entry. 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 fluoxetine on Ca2+ signaling in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was investigated by using fura-2 as a Ca2+ probe. Fluoxetine increased [Ca2+]i concentration-dependently between 5 microM and 200 microM with an EC50 value of 40 microM. The response was reduced by external Ca2+ removal by 30%40%. In Ca2+-free medium pretreatment with 1 microM thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump, abolished 100 microM fluoxetine-induced Ca2+ release. Addition of 3 mM Ca2+ to Ca2+-free medium increased [Ca2+]i when cells were pretreated with 100 microM fluoxetine. Suppression of 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) formation by 2 microM U73122 (a phospholipase C inhibitor) did not affect 100 microM fluoxetine-induced Ca2+ release. Fluoxetine (5-100 microM) also increased [Ca2+]i in neutrophils, prostate cancer cells and bladder cancer cells from human and rat glioma cells. 相似文献

The effect of betulinic acid, an anti-tumor and apoptosis-inducing natural product, on intracellular-free levels of Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) in Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was examined by using fura-2 as a Ca(2+) dye. Betulinic acid caused significant increases in [Ca(2+)](i) concentration dependently between 25 and 500 nM with an EC(50) of 100 nM. The [Ca(2+)](i) signal was composed of an initial gradual rise and a plateau. The response was decreased by removal of extracellular Ca(2+) by 45+/-10%. In Ca(2+)-free medium, pretreatment with 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor) abolished 250 microM betulinic acid-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increases. Conversely, pretreatment with betulinic acid only partly inhibited thapsigargin-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increases. Addition of 3 mM Ca(2+) induced a [Ca(2+)](i) increase after pretreatment with 250 nM betulinic acid in Ca(2+)-free medium for 5 min. This [Ca(2+)](i) increase was not altered by the addition of 20 microM SKF96365 and 10 microM econazole. Inhibiting inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation with the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 (2 microM) abolished 250 nM betulinic acid-induced Ca(2+) release. Pretreatment with 10 microM La(3+) inhibited 250 nM betulinic acid-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increases by 85+/-3%; whereas 10 microM of verapamil, nifedipine and diltiazem had no effect. In Ca(2+) medium, pretreatment with 2.5 nM betulinic aid for 260 s potentiated 10 microM ATP and 1 microM thapsigargin-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increases by 33+/-3% and 45+/-3%, respectively. Trypan blue exclusion revealed that acute exposure of 250 nM betulinic acid for 2-30 min decreased cell viability by 6+/-2%, which could be prevented by pretreatment with 2 microM U731222. Together, the results suggest that betulinic acid induced significant [Ca(2+)](i) increases in MDCK cells in a concentration-dependent manner, and also induced mild cell death. The [Ca(2+)](i) signal was contributed by an inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate-dependent release of intracellular Ca(2+) from thapsigargin-sensitive stores, and by inducing Ca(2+) entry from extracellular medium in a La(3+)-sensitive manner. 相似文献

To understand more fully the effects of bepridil, an antiarrhythmic and antianginal drug, on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and systemic immune responses, its effect on intracellular Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) in human neutrophils was investigated by using fura-2 as a fluorescent probe. Bepridil (10-200 microM) increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent fashion. This signal was partly inhibited by removal of extracellular Ca2+. In a Ca(2+)-free medium, pretreatment with bepridil (100 microM) abolished the Ca2+ release induced by thapsigargin (1 microM), an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor, and by carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (2 microM), a mitochondrial uncoupler. Pretreatment with carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone and thapsigargin, respectively, partly inhibited bepridil-induced Ca2+ release. Addition of Ca2+ (3 mM) increased [Ca2+]i after pretreatment with bepridil (100 microM) in a Ca(2+)-free medium. Bepridil (100 microM)-induced Ca2+ release was not altered when phospholipase C was inhibited by U73122 (2 microM). Both Ca2+ release and Ca2+ entry induced by bepridil (100 microM) were augmented by activating protein kinase C with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (10 nM), and were suppressed by inhibiting protein kinase C with GF 109203X (2 microM). Treatment with bepridil (10-20 microM) for 30 min increased the production of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) by more than 50%. Collectively, it was found that bepridil increased [Ca2+]i concentration-dependently in human neutrophils by releasing Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and, possibly, other compartments in a phospholipase C-independent manner. Bepridil also activated Ca2+ influx. The activity of protein kinase C may regulate bepridil-induced Ca2+ release and Ca2+ entry. 相似文献

The effect of the ether lipid 1-O-octadecyl-2-O-methyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (ET-18-OCH3) on the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was studied using fura-2 as the Ca2+ probe. In Ca2+ medium, ET-18-OCH3 induced a significant rise in [Ca2+]i at concentrations between 10-100 microM with a concentration-dependent delay of 45-175 s. The [Ca2+]i signal was composed of a gradual rise and a sustained plateau. In Ca2+-free medium, ET-18-OCH3 (10-100 microM) induced a Ca2+ release from internal Ca2+ stores with a concentration-dependent delay of 45-175 s. This discharge of internal Ca2+ triggered capacitative Ca2+ entry in a concentration-dependent manner. This capacitative Ca2+ entry was not inhibited by econazole (25 microM), 1-[beta-[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)propoxy]-4-methoxyphenethyl]-1H-imidazole hydrochloride (SKF96365; 50 microM), nifedipine (10 microM), verapamil (10 microM), diltiazem (10 microM) and cadmium (0.5 microM). Methyl 2-(phenylthio)ethyl-1,4-dihydro-2,4,6-trimethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxylat e (PCA-4248), a platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonist, inhibited 25 microM ET-18-OCH3-induced [Ca2+]i rise in a concentration-dependent manner between 1-20 microM, with 20 microM exerting a complete block. The [Ca2+]i rise induced by ET-18-OCH3 (25 microM) was not altered when the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) was suppressed by the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 (2 microM), but was partly inhibited by the phospholipase D inhibitor propranolol (0.1 mM) or the phospholipase A2 inhibitor aristolochic acid (20-40 microM). In Ca2+-free medium, pretreatment with 25 microM ET-18-OCH3 completely depleted the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ store. In contrast, pretreatment with thapsigargin abolished 0.1 mM ATP-induced [Ca2+]i rise without altering the ET-18-OCH3-induced [Ca2+]i rise. This suggests that ET-18-OCH3 depleted thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ stores and also released Ca2+ from thapsigargin-insensitive stores. The thapsigargin-insensitive stores involve mitochondria because the mitochondria uncoupler carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP; 2 microM) induced a release of mitochondrial Ca2+ which was abolished by pretreatment with 25 microM ET-18-OCH3. ET-18-OCH3 (25 microM) induced a significant Mn2+ quench of fura-2 fluorescence at 360 nm excitation wavelength confirming that ET-18-OCH3 induced capacitative Ca2+ entry. La3+ (0.1 mM) or Gd3+ (50 microM) abolished the ET-18-OCH3-induced Mn2+ quench and [Ca2+]i rise. Our data imply that ET-18-OCH3 induced a [Ca2+]i rise in MDCK cells by activating PAF receptors leading to an internal Ca2+ release followed by capacitative Ca2+ entry. Phospholipase D and phospholipase A2, but not phospholipase C, might be involved in mediating the capacitative Ca2+ entry. La3+ abolished the ET-18-OCH3-induced [Ca2+]i rise presumably by inhibiting PAF receptors. 相似文献

1. Effects were studied of 6-(3-dimethylaminopropionyl) forskolin (NKH477), a water-soluble forskolin derivative and of dibutyryl-cyclic AMP, a membrane-permeable cyclic AMP analogue on noradrenaline (NA)-induced Ca2+ mobilization in smooth muscle strips of the rabbit mesenteric artery. The intracellular concentration of Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), isometric force and cellular concentration of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) were measured. 2. NA (10 microM) produced a phasic, followed by a tonic increase in both [Ca2+]i and force in a solution containing 2.6 mM Ca2+. NKH477 (0.01-0.3 microM) attenuated the phasic and the tonic increases in both [Ca2+]i and force induced by 10 microM NA, in a concentration-dependent manner. 3. In Ca(2+)-free solution containing 2 mM EGTA with 5.9 mM K+, NA (10 microM) produced only phasic increases in [Ca2+]i and force. NKH477 (0.01 microM) and dibutyryl-cyclic AMP (0.1 mM) each greatly inhibited these increases. 4. NA (10 microM) led to the production of InsP3 in intact smooth muscle strips and InsP3 (10 microM) increased Ca2+ in Ca(2+)-free solution after a brief application of Ca2+ in beta-escin-skinned smooth muscle strips. NKH477 (0.01 microM) or dibutyryl-cyclic AMP (0.1 mM) modified neither the NA-induced synthesis of InsP3 in intact muscle strips nor the InsP3-induced Ca2+ release in skinned strips. 5. In Ca(2+)-free solution, high K+ (40 and 128 mM) itself failed to increase [Ca2+]i but concentration-dependently enhanced the amplitude of the increase in [Ca2+]i induced by 10 microM NA with a parallel enhancement of the maximum rate of rise.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The effects of diltiazem and TA-3090, an 8-chloro analog of diltiazem, on cellular responses and calcium homeostasis of human neutrophils were investigated. TA-3090, at 10 to 20 microM, enhanced lysozyme release and superoxide generation induced in neutrophils by n-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). Higher concentrations of TA-3090 inhibited responses at IC50s between 70 and 85 microM. Diltiazem by comparison inhibited responses at an IC50 of about 200 microM. The two drugs had little or no effect on early signaling events: inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation triggered by FMLP was not affected. Moreover, 500 microM TA-3090 or diltiazem did not significantly affect FMLP-triggered Ca2+ transients. (Cytoplasmic free Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) were monitored in fura-2-loaded neutrophils.) Diltiazem alone caused a limited influx of extracellular Ca2+ which increased basal [Ca2+]i by twofold. Internal Ca2+ stores were not released. TA-3090, in contrast, induced a biphasic rise in [Ca2+]i--an initial mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ stores was followed after 10-15 min by a persistent influx of extracellular Ca2+ which increased [Ca2+]i to 1.3 +/- 0.7 (SD) microM. Complementary studies with semipermeabilized neutrophils showed that TA-3090 but not diltiazem directly released Ca2+ from intracellular stores. In TA-3090-treated cells, lactate dehydrogenase release was correlated with delayed influx of extracellular Ca2+. The chelation of extracellular Ca2+ by EGTA prevented LDH release. Present results show that TA-3090 and diltiazem initially blocked cell signaling at steps subsequent to phospholipase C activity. With TA-3090-treated cells, elevated [Ca2+]i ensuing from prolonged incubations likely activated inappropriate reactions leading to cell lysis and death. 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 thimerosal, a reactive oxidant, on cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) in Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was explored by using the Ca2+-sensitive dye fura-2. Thimerosal acted in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 of 0.5 microM. The Ca2+ signal comprised a gradual rise and a sustained elevation. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ reduced 80% of the signal. In Ca2+-free medium, the [Ca2+]i rise induced by 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor) was completely inhibited by pretreatment with 5 microM thimerosal. The thimerosal (5 microM)-induced Ca2+ release was not changed by inhibition of phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122. Collectively, this study shows that thimerosal induced [Ca2+]i rises in renal tubular cells via releasing store Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores in a manner independent of phospholipase C activity. 相似文献
