The effect of the environmental contaminant, bisphenol A, on cytosolic free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells is unclear. This study explored whether bisphenol A changed basal [Ca2+]i levels in suspended MDCK cells by using fura-2 as a Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dye. Bisphenol A, at concentrations between 50 and 300 µM, increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. The Ca2+ signal was reduced, partly, by removing extracellular Ca2+. Bisphenol A induced Mn2+ influx, leading to quenching of fura-2 fluorescence, suggesting Ca2+ influx. This Ca2+ influx was inhibited by phospholipase A2 inhibitor aristolochic acid, store-operated Ca2+ channel blockers nifedipine and SK&F96365, and protein kinase C inhibitor GF109203X. In Ca2+-free medium, pretreatment with the mitochondrial uncoupler, carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), and the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitors, thapsigargin or 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone (BHQ), inhibited bisphenol A–induced Ca2+ release. Conversely, pretreatment with bisphenol A abolished thapsigargin (or BHQ)- and CCCP-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 abolished bisphenol-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Bisphenol A caused a concentration-dependent decrease in cell viability via apoptosis in a Ca2+-independent manner. Collectively, in MDCK cells, bisphenol A induced [Ca2+]i rises by causing phospholipase C–dependent Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria and Ca2+ influx via phospholipase A2–, protein kinase C–sensitive, store-operated Ca2+ channels. 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 the natural essential oil thymol on cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) and viability in human glioblastoma cells was examined. The Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dye fura-2 was applied to measure [Ca2+]i. Thymol at concentrations of 400–1000 μM induced a [Ca2+]i rise in a concentration-dependent fashion. The response was decreased partially by removal of extracellular Ca2+. Thymol-induced Ca2+ 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 Ca2+ was removed, incubation with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor thapsigargin or 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone (BHQ) abolished thymol-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Incubation with thymol also abolished thapsigargin or BHQ-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 abolished thymol-induced [Ca2+]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 Ca2+ 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 [Ca2+]i rise by inducing phospholipase C- and protein kinase C-dependent Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca2+ entry via non store-operated Ca2+ channels. Thymol induced cell death that may involve apoptosis. 相似文献

The effect of calmidazolium on cytosolic free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) and viability has not been explored in human hepatoma cells. This study examined whether calmidazolium altered [Ca2+]i and caused cell death in HA59T cells. [Ca2+]i and cell viability were measured using the fluorescent dyes fura-2 and WST-1, respectively. Calmidazolium at concentrations
≥1 μM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 value of 1.5 μM. The Ca2+ signal was reduced partly by removing extracellular Ca2+. Calmidazolium induced Mn2+ quench of fura-2 fluorescence implicating Ca2+ influx. The Ca2+ influx was insensitive to L-type Ca2+ entry blockers, but was inhibited partly by enhancing or inhibiting protein kinase C activity. In Ca2+-free medium, after pretreatment with 1 μM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor), calmidazolium-induced [Ca2+]i rises were largely inhibited; and conversely, calmidazolium pretreatment totally suppressed thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]i rises. Inhibition of phospholipase C with 2 μM U73122 did not change calmidazolium-induced [Ca2+]i rises. At concentrations between 1 and 15 μM, calmidazolium induced apoptosis-mediated cell death. Collectively, in HA59T
hepatoma cells, calmidazolium induced [Ca2+]i rises by causing Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum in a phospholipase C-independent manner, and Ca2+ influx via protein kinase C-regulated Ca2+ entry pathway. Calmidazolium caused cytotoxicity via apoptosis. 相似文献

1. The effect of maprotiline, an antidepressant, on human prostate cells is unclear. In the present study, the effect of maprotiline on [Ca2+]i and growth in PC3 human prostate cancer cells was measured using the fluorescent dyes fura-2 and tetrazolium, respectively. 2. Maprotiline caused a rapid, concentration-dependent increase in [Ca2+]i (EC50 = 200 micromol/L). The maprotiline-induced [Ca2+]i increase was reduced by removal of extracellular Ca2+ or pretreatment with nicardipine. 3. The maprotiline-induced Mn2+ influx-associated fura-2 fluorescence quench directly suggests that maprotiline caused Ca2+ influx. 4. In Ca(2+)-free medium, thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, caused a monophasic [Ca2+]i increase, after which the effects of maprotiline of increasing [Ca2+]i were abolished. In addition, pretreatment with maprotiline reduced a major portion of the thapsigargin-induced increase in [Ca2+]i. 5. U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, abolished the ATP (but not maprotiline)-induced increase in [Ca2+]i. 6. Overnight incubation with 1-10 micromol/L maprotiline did not alter cell proliferation, although incubation with 30-50 micromol/L maprotiline decreased cell proliferation. 7, These findings suggest that maprotiline rapidly increases [Ca2+]i in human prostate cancer cells by stimulating both extracellular Ca2+ influx and intracellular Ca2+ release and that it may modulate cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. 相似文献

The effect of oleamide, a sleep‐inducing endogenous lipid in animal models, on intracellular free levels of Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in Madin‐Darby renal tubular cells was examined using fura‐2 as a fluorescent dye. Oleamide (5–50 μM) increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration‐dependent fashion with an EC50 value of 20 μM. The [Ca2+]i signal comprised an initial rise and an elevated phase and was reduced by removing extracellular Ca2+ by 50%. After pretreatment with 5–50 μM oleamide in Ca2+‐free medium, addition of 3 mM Ca2+ increased [Ca2+]i in a manner dependent on the concentration of oleamide. In Ca2+‐free medium, pretreatment with thapsigargin (1 μM), an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor, abolished [Ca2+]i increases induced by 20 μM oleamide; conversely, pretreatment with 20 μM oleamide reduced 1 μM thapsigargin‐induced [Ca2+]i increases by 50%. Suppression of the activity of phospholipase C with 2 μM U73122 abolished 20 μM oleamide‐induced Ca2+ release. Collectively, these data demonstrate that oleamide induced significant [Ca2+]i increases in renal tubular cells by a phospholipase C‐dependent release of Ca2+ from thapsigargin‐sensitive stores and by inducing Ca2+ entry via store‐operated Ca2+ entry.

The effect of diallyl disulfide (DADS) on cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) and viability in PC3 human prostate cancer cells is unclear. This study explored whether DADS changed [Ca2+]i in PC3 cells by using fura-2. DADS at 50-1000 μM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. The signal was reduced by removing Ca2+. DADS-induced Ca2+ influx was not inhibited by nifedipine, econazole, SK&F96365, and protein kinase C modulators; but was inhibited by aristolochic acid. In Ca2+-free medium, pretreatment with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitors thapsigargin or 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone (BHQ) nearly abolished DADS-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Incubation with DADS inhibited thapsigargin or BHQ-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 did not alter DADS-induced [Ca2+]i rise. At 500-1000 μM, DADS killed cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The cytotoxic effect of DADS was partly reversed by prechelating cytosolic Ca2+ with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA). Propidium iodide staining suggests that DADS (500 μM) induced apoptosis in a Ca2+-independent manner. Annexin V/PI staining further shows that 10 μM and 500 μM DADS both evoked apoptosis. DADS also increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Collectively, in PC3 cells, DADS induced [Ca2+]i rise probably by causing phospholipase C-independent Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca2+ influx via phospholipase A2-sensitive channels. DADS induced Ca2+-dependent cell death, ROS production, and Ca2+-independent apoptosis. 相似文献

The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of antidepressants on smooth muscle contractile activity. In rat aortic rings, the antidepressants imipramine, mianserin and sertraline provoked concentration-dependent inhibitions of the mechanical responses evoked by K+ (30 mM) depolarization. These myorelaxant effects were not modified by the presence of glibenclamide or 80 mM K+ in the bathing medium. Moreover, the vasodilator properties of imipramine were not affected by atropine, phentolamine and pyrilamine. Radioisotopic experiments indicated that imipramine failed to enhance 86Rb outflow from prelabelled and perifused aortic rings whilst counteracting the increase in 45Ca outflow provoked by a rise in the extracellular K+ concentration. Simultaneous measurements of contractile activity and fura-2 fluorescence revealed that, in aortic rings, imipramine reduced the mechanical and fluorimetric response to K+ challenge. In A7r5 smooth muscle cells, whole cell recordings further demonstrated that imipramine inhibited the inward Ca2+ current. Under different experimental conditions, the ionic and relaxation responses to the antidepressants were reminiscent of those mediated by the Ca2+ entry blocker verapamil. Lastly, it should be pointed out that imipramine exhibited a myorelaxant effect of similar amplitude on rat aorta and on rat distal colon. All together, these findings suggest that the myorelaxant properties of imipramine, and probably also setraline and mianserin, could result from their capacity to inhibit the voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels. 相似文献

The effect of carvedilol on intracellular free Ca(2+) levels ([Ca(2+)](i)) has not been explored previously. This study was aimed to examine the effect of carvedilol on Ca(2+) handling in renal tubular cells. Madin-Darby canine kidney cells were used as a model for renal tubular cells and fura-2 was used as a fluorescent Ca(2+) probe. Carvedilol increased [Ca(2+)](i) in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC(50) value of 5 microM. Extracellular Ca(2+) removal partly inhibited the [Ca(2+)](i) signals. Carvedilol-induced Ca(2+) influx was verified by measuring Mn(2+)-induced quench of fura-2 fluorescence. Carvedilol-induced store Ca(2+) release was reduced by pretreatment with 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor) but not with 5 microM ryanodine or 2 microM carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (a mitochondrial uncoupler). Carvedilol (30 microM)-induced Ca(2+) release was not affected by inhibiting phospholipase C with 1-(6-((17beta-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-l)amino)hexyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (U73122; 2 microM), but was potentiated by increasing cAMP levels or inhibiting protein kinase C. The carvedilol-induced Ca(2+) mobilization was not significantly sequestered by the endoplasmic reticulum or mitochondria. This study shows that carvedilol increased [Ca(2+)](i) in renal tubular cells by causing Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum and other unknown stores in an inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate-independent manner, and by inducing Ca(2+) influx. The Ca(2+) release was modulated by cAMP and protein kinase C. 相似文献

Diallyl sulfide (DAS), one of the major organosulfur compounds (OSCs) of garlic, is recognized as a group of potential chemoproventive compounds. In this study, we examines the early signaling effects of DAS on renal cells loaded with Ca2+-sensitive dye fura-2. It was found that DAS caused an immediate and sustained rise of [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50 = 2.32 mM). DAS also induced a [Ca2+]i elevation when extracellular Ca2+ was removed, but the magnitude was reduced by 45%. Depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores with CCCP, a mitochondrial uncoupler, did not affect DAS’s effect. In Ca2+-free medium, the DAS-induced [Ca2+]i rise was abolished by depleting stored Ca2+ with thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor). DAS-caused [Ca2+]i rise in Ca2+-containing medium was not affected by modulation of protein kinase C activity. The DAS-induced Ca2+ influx was blocked by nicardipine. U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, abolished ATP (but not DAS)-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Additionally, pretreatment with DAS for 24 h decreased cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, DAS-induced cell death involved apoptotic events. These findings suggest that diallyl sulfide induced a significant rise in [Ca2+]i in MDCK renal tubular cells by stimulating both extracellular Ca2+ influx and thapsigargin-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ release via as yet unidentified mechanisms. 相似文献

The effect of N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) arachidonoyl-ethanolamide (AM404), a drug commonly used to inhibit the anandamide transporter, on intracellular free Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) and viability was studied in human MG63 osteosarcoma cells using the fluorescent dyes fura-2 and WST-1, respectively. AM404 at concentrations ≥5 μM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 value of 60 μM. The Ca2+ signal was reduced partly by removing extracellular Ca2+. AM404 induced Mn2+ quench of fura-2 fluorescence implicating Ca2+ influx. The Ca2+ influx was sensitive to La3+, Ni2+, nifedipine and verapamil. In Ca2+-free medium, after pretreatment with 1 μM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor), AM404-induced [Ca2+]i rise was abolished; and conversely, AM404 pretreatment totally inhibited thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 did not change AM404-induced [Ca2+]i rise. At concentrations between 10 and 200 μM, AM404 killed cells in a concentration-dependent manner presumably by inducing apoptotic cell death. The cytotoxic effect of 50 μM AM404 was partly reversed by prechelating cytosolic Ca2+ with BAPTA/AM. Collectively, in MG63 cells, AM404 induced [Ca2+]i rise by causing Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum in a phospholipase C-independent manner, and Ca2+ influx via L-type Ca2+ channels. AM404 caused cytotoxicity which was possibly mediated by apoptosis. 相似文献

Within the placenta, a specialized Ca(2+) transport pathway develops in trophoblasts to promote growth of the fetus and hypothetically to enhance fetal uptake of Pb(2+). This hypothesis could not be tested until a method to monitor Pb(2+) influx by indo-1 fluorescence quench became available. We have applied this new method to cultured undifferentiated and differentiated Rcho-1 trophoblastic cells. Pb(2+) concentrations of 1 and 10 microM are equivalent to blood levels of 20 and 200 microg/dl in pregnant women. Over this range, Pb(2+) uptake increased with time and concentration in medium containing 1 mM Ca(2+) but was greater in Ca(2+)-omitted solutions. Activation of capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE) with thapsigargin, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) pump inhibitor, increased Pb(2+) uptake, while inhibition of CCE by La(3+) decreased influx. Parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) stimulates the synthesis of Ca(2+)-binding proteins (CaBPs), as well as Ca(2+) transporters, during trophoblastic differentiation. Pretreatment for 72 h with PTHrP increased Pb(2+) uptake by undifferentiated Rcho-1 cells but had little effect on the quench in differentiated cells, probably due to their greater content of CaBPs which competed for Pb(2+)-binding with indo-1. This competition was most evident in differentiated cells when 1 microM Pb(2+) caused an initial quench, followed by a rise in fluorescence. This rise was not inhibited by thapsigargin, thereby ruling out sequestration into the ER and leaving complexation of Pb(2+) by CaBPs as the most plausible interpretation. We conclude that trophoblasts have the ability to clear Pb(2+) from the maternal circulation and deliver it to the fetus. 相似文献

(but not 1) μM carvedilol.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) are responsible for many physiological functions, including angiogenesis, neuronal survival, and immunity. However, little is known about their effects in modulating the stimulus-secretion coupling in bovine chromaffin cells. The result of PCR showed that at least two receptors (S1P(3) and LPA(1)) were expressed in bovine chromaffin cells. The elevation of [Ca(2+)](i) by S1P was fast and sustaining; but the elevation by LPA was slow and transient. The EC(50) for S1P and LPA in elevating the [Ca(2+)](i) were 0.55+/-0.01 and 0.54+/-0.40microM, respectively. This elevation could be totally blocked by thapsigargin, 2-APB, and U73122. Pertussis toxin pretreatment inhibited about half of the elevation in [Ca(2+)](i) suggesting the involvement of G(i) and other G-proteins. Repetitive [Ca(2+)](i) elevations elicited by S1P, but not LPA, were inhibited by ryanodine. S1P was more effective than LPA in triggering exocytosis as measured by the changes in membrane capacitance. The whole-cell Ca(2+) current was inhibited by both lysophospholipids but Na(+) current was inhibited by S1P only. These results suggest the differential effects of LPA and S1P in releasing Ca(2+) from the intracellular Ca(2+) stores and modulating the stimulus-secretion coupling in bovine chromaffin cells. 相似文献

Background and Purpose
Quercetin is a natural polyphenolic flavonoid that displays anti-diabetic properties in vivo. Its mechanism of action on insulin-secreting beta cells is poorly documented. In this work, we have analysed the effects of quercetin both on insulin secretion and on the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in beta cells, in the absence of any co-stimulating factor.Experimental Approach
Experiments were performed on both INS-1 cell line and rat isolated pancreatic islets. Insulin release was quantified by the homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence method. Variations in [Ca2+]i were measured using the ratiometric fluorescent Ca2+ indicator Fura-2. Ca2+ channel currents were recorded with the whole-cell patch-clamp technique.Key Results
Quercetin concentration-dependently increased insulin secretion and elevated [Ca2+]i. These effects were not modified by the SERCA inhibitor thapsigargin (1 μmol·L−1), but were nearly abolished by the L-type Ca2+ channel antagonist nifedipine (1 μmol·L−1). Similar to the L-type Ca2+ channel agonist Bay K 8644, quercetin enhanced the L-type Ca2+ current by shifting its voltage-dependent activation towards negative potentials, leading to the increase in [Ca2+]i and insulin secretion. The effects of quercetin were not inhibited in the presence of a maximally active concentration of Bay K 8644 (1 μmol·L−1), with the two drugs having cumulative effects on [Ca2+]i.Conclusions and Implications
Taken together, our results show that quercetin stimulates insulin secretion by increasing Ca2+ influx through an interaction with L-type Ca2+ channels at a site different from that of Bay K 8644. These data contribute to a better understanding of quercetin''s mechanism of action on insulin secretion. 相似文献16.

Timolol is a medication used widely to treat glaucoma. Regarding Ca2+ signaling, timolol was shown to modulate Ca2+-related physiology in various cell types, however, the effect of timolol on Ca2+ homeostasis and cell viability has not been explored in human prostate cancer cells. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of timolol on intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) and viability in PC3 human prostate cancer cells. Timolol at concentrations of 100–1000?μM induced [Ca2+]i rises. The Ca2+ signal in Ca2+-containing medium was reduced by removal of extracellular Ca2+ by approximately 75%. Timolol (1000?μM) induced Mn2+ influx suggesting of Ca2+ entry. Timolol-induced Ca2+ entry was partially inhibited by three inhibitors of store-operated Ca2+ channels: nifedipine, econoazole and SKF96365, and by a protein kinase C (PKC) activator (phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate [PMA]) or an inhibitor (GF109203X). In Ca2+-free medium, treatment with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor thapsigargin abolished timolol-evoked [Ca2+]i rises. Conversely, treatment with timolol abolished thapsigargin-evoked [Ca2+]i rises. Inhibition of phospholipase C (PLC) with U73122 abolished timolol-induced [Ca2+]i rises. Timolol at concentrations between 200 and 600?μM killed cells in a concentration-dependent fashion. Chelation of cytosolic Ca2+ with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid/AM (BAPTA/AM) did not reverse cytotoxicity of timolol. Together, in PC3 cells, timolol induced [Ca2+]i rises by evoking Ca2+release from the endoplasmic reticulum in a PLC-dependent manner, and Ca2+ influx via PKC-regulated store-operated Ca2+ entry. Timolol also caused cell death that was not linked to preceding [Ca2+]i rises. 相似文献

The effect of the carcinogen safrole on intracellular Ca2+ movement and cell proliferation has not been explored previously. The present study examined whether safrole could alter Ca2+ handling and growth in human oral cancer OC2 cells. Cytosolic free Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) in populations of cells were measured using fura-2 as a fluorescent Ca2+ probe. Safrole at a concentration of 325 M started to increase [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. The Ca2+ signal was reduced by 40% by removing extracellular Ca2+, and was decreased by 39% by nifedipine but not by verapamil or diltiazem. In Ca2+-free medium, after pretreatment with 650 M safrole, 1 M thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor) barely induced a [Ca2+]i rise; in contrast, addition of safrole after thapsigargin treatment induced a small [Ca2+]i rise. Neither inhibition of phospholipase C with 2 M U73122 nor modulation of protein kinase C activity affected safrole-induced Ca2+ release. Overnight incubation with 1 M safrole did not alter cell proliferation, but incubation with 10–1000 M safrole increased cell proliferation by 60±10%. This increase was not reversed by pre-chelating Ca2+ with 10 M of the Ca2+ chelator BAPTA. Collectively, the data suggest that in human oral cancer cells, safrole induced a [Ca2+]i rise by causing release of stored Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum in a phospholipase C- and protein kinase C-independent fashion and by inducing Ca2+ influx via nifedipine-sensitive Ca2+ entry. Furthermore, safrole can enhance cell growth in a Ca2+-independent manner. 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

Summary To examine whether Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ store sites contributes to autoregulation of renal blood flow, experiments were performed on perfused kidneys of anesthetized dogs. Control observations showed excellent autoregulation of renal blood flow over the perfusion pressure range of 120–200 mm Hg. This autoregulatory response was not influenced by the intra-arterial infusion of 8-(N, N-diethylamino)octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate hydrochloride (TMB-8,1.0 mg/min), an inhibitor of intracellular Ca2+ release. However, TMB-8 (0.3 and 1.0 mg/min i. a.) suppressed the renal vasoconstriction induced by intra-arterial injection of noradrenaline (0.5–2.0g). On the other hand, TMB-8 (0.3 and 1.0 mg/min) had no effect on the renal vasoconstriction induced by the Ca channel activator, BAY K 8644 (0.5–2.0 g). These results show that TMB-8 has no effect on renal vasoconstriction induced by the activation of voltage-dependent Ca channels, and does not influence autoregulation of renal blood flow. Thus, Ca2+ release from intracellular stores does not appear to contribute the processes of autoregulation of renal blood flow.

beta-Leptinotarsin-h, purified from the hemolymph of the beetle Leptinotarsa haldemani, is a potent ( approximately 1 nM) neuroactive protein that rapidly (few seconds) stimulates Ca(2+) influx and neurotransmitter release. Our goals were to further characterize beta-leptinotarsin-h and to test the hypothesis that it stimulates Ca(2+) influx through presynaptic Ca(2+) channels. Analysis of partial amino acid sequences revealed that beta-leptinotarsin-h is a unique protein with significant similarity to only one other protein, the juvenile hormone esterase of Leptinotarsa decemlineata, commonly known as the Colorado potato beetle. We have examined the effect of beta-leptinotarsin-h on Ca(2+) current, Ca(2+) uptake, Ca(2+) levels, and neurotransmitter release in synaptosomes, cell lines, and neuronal systems. We found that its preferred site of action appears to be mammalian presynaptic nerve terminals. We tested antagonists of Ca(2+) flux for their effects on beta-leptinotarsin-h-stimulated Ca(2+) uptake in rat brain synaptosomes. The non-selective Ca(2+) channel blockers flunarizine, Ni(2+), ruthenium red, high-concentration thapsigargin, and SKF 96365 inhibited beta-leptinotarsin-h's activity, but none of the tested selective blockers of voltage-operated Ca(2+) channels (omega-agatoxin IVA, omega-conotoxin GVIA, omega-conotoxin MVIIC, nicardipine, nifedipine, SNX-482) was inhibitory. Selective inhibitors of ligand-operated, store-operated, and transduction-operated channels were also not inhibitory. beta-Leptinotarsin-h did not stimulate Na(+) uptake, ruling out Na(+) channels and many non-selective cation channels as targets. We conclude that beta-leptinotarsin-h stimulated Ca(2+) uptake through presynaptic Ca(2+) channels; which channel is yet to be determined. beta-Leptinotarsin-h may prove to be a useful tool with which to investigate calcium channels and calcium flux. 相似文献
