灯盏花素对人脐静脉内皮细胞胞内Ca~(2+)水平的调控作用

目的探讨灯盏花素对培养的人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVECs)胞内Ca2+水平(Ca2+]i)的调控作用。方法采用新一代Ca2+荧光探针Fluo-3/AM标记培养的HUVECs,激光共聚焦显微镜检测细胞胞内钙荧光信号,观察灯盏花素对培养的HUVECs胞内Ca2+水平的调控作用。结果在胞外有Ca2+或无Ca2+的情况下,灯盏花素均可引起Ca2+]i的短暂性升高;灯盏花素的Ca2+释放作用与钙泵抑制剂CPA存在着交迭;灯盏花素能够抑制由KCl所引起的Ca2+]i的升高;灯盏花素对胞内Ca2+池耗竭后胞外复Ca2+所引起的钙内流无明显阻断作用。结论灯盏花素可引起胞内Ca2+池的Ca2+释放,其释放的Ca2+来自CPA敏感的Ca2+池。灯盏花素也可抑制经电压依赖性Ca2+通道的Ca2+内流,对Ca2+池耗竭后引起的Ca2+内流通道无明显阻断作用。

Effects of Breviscapine on intracellular Ca2+ concentration in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Aim To investigate the effects of Breviscapine(BE)on intracellular Ca2+ concentration in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs). Methods HUVECs were incubated with the calcium ion-sensitive fluorescent indicator fluo-3/AM, and then a laser confocal microscope was applied to measure changes of fluorescence intensity under different agonists to investigate the effects of Breviscapine on intracellular Ca2+ concentration in HUVECs. Results ①BE induced Ca2+ transients in the buffer with or without Ca2+;②The Ca2+ transients induced by BE could be overlapped by cyclopiazonic acid (CPA);③Pretreatment of BE inhibited Ca2+ influx caused by KCl.④ BE had no evident effect on the calcium influx in- duced by the restoration of extracellular Ca2+ after the depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores.Conclusion BE depletes CPA-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ stores and inhibits Ca2+ influx through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, and BE has no evident effect on the calcium influx induced by the restoration of extracellular Ca2+ after the depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores.
