Abstract: | 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. |
