In the freshly isolated early proximal tubule (S1), the effect of angiotensin II (ANG II) on cytosolic Ca++ concentration ([Ca++]i) was determined using the fluorescent indicator fura-2. In order to establish an adequate experimental system, we investigated firstly the relationship between cellular ATP and [Ca++]i under various conditions in late proximal tubule, the most fragile nephron segment, and cortical collecting tubule, a relatively stable one. We found out that cellular ATP depletion caused [Ca++]i to rise, and ANG II response to [Ca++]i under high ATP condition was higher than that under low ATP condition. ANG II-induced [Ca++]i rise in S1 was biphasic, demonstrating the two peaks corresponding to the 10(-11) and 10(-7) M ANG II. This study suggests for the first time 1) the necessity of high intracellular ATP to evaluate a high affinity ANG II actions and 2) the biphasic characteristics of [Ca++]i increase by ANG II in intact S1. 相似文献

Vasopressin-induced increases in cellular free calcium concentration measured in single cells of rat renal papillary collecting tubule 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We determined the cellular free calcium concentration [Ca2+]i in response to arginine vasopressin (AVP) using single cells of cultured rat renal papillary collecting tubule cells. AVP at a concentration of 1 x 10(-10) M or higher significantly increased [Ca2+]i in a dose-dependent manner. The prompt increase in [Ca2+]i induced by AVP was completely blocked by the V1V2 antagonist, but not by the V1 antagonist. Also, an antidiuretic agonist of 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP) increased [Ca2+]i, which was blocked by the pretreatment with the V1 V2 antagonist. An AVP-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was still demonstrable in cells pretreated with Ca2(+)-free medium containing 1 x 10(-3) M EGTA, or a blocker of cellular Ca2+ uptake, 5 x 10(-5) M verapamil. These results indicate that AVP increases [Ca2+]i through the V2 receptor in renal papillary collecting tubule cells where cAMP is a well-known second messenger for AVP, and that cellular free Ca2+ mobilization depends on both the intracellular and extracellular Ca2+. 相似文献

In our previous report (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 165(3), 1221-1228, 1989), we have demonstrated the biphasic increase of intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca++]i) induced by angiotensin II (ANG II) in isolated rat early proximal tubule (S1). The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of HgCl2 on ANG II-induced [Ca++]i increase using Fura-2. HgCl2 (10(-10) M2-10(-8) M) potentiated the [Ca++]i increase induced by ANG II (10(-11) M) in a dose-dependent manner. To determine the mechanism of stimulatory effect by HgCl2 on ANG II-induced [Ca++]i increase, nephron segments were pretreated with 10(-4) M propranolol, a phospholipase C inhibitor. The stimulatory effect by 10(-9) M HgCl2 in 10(-11) M ANG II-induced [Ca++]i increase was completely inhibited by propranolol. Moreover, 10(-4) M propranolol completely blocked the stimulatory effect of HgCl2 on ANG II-mediated IP3 production. This study suggests for the first time that HgCl2 stimulates the [Ca++]i increment induced by ANG II, possibly through an activation of phospholipase C. 相似文献

The effect of arginine vasopressin (AVP) on Na+ kinetics was examined in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and rat renal papillary collecting tubule cells (RPCT) by the direct measurement of intracellular sodium concentration [(Na+]i) using fluorescence dye; SBFI. AVP increased [Na+]i in a dose-dependent manner at a concentration of 10(-9) M or higher in rat VSMC but did not affect [Na+]i in rat RPCT. The calcium (Ca2+)-free solution completely blocked the increasing effect of AVP on [Na+]i in rat VSMC. A Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin (1-2 x 10(-6) M) increased [Na+]i both in rat VSMC and RPCT. The Ca2(+)-free solution abolished the ionomycin-increased [Na+]i both in rat VSMC and RPCT. These results therefore indicate that after binding the V1 receptor AVP increases [Na+]i mediated through an increase in cellular Ca2+ uptake in VSMC. 相似文献

A method has been developed to measure Ca influx in internally dialyzed squid axons. This was achieved by controlling the dialyzed segment of the axon exposed to the external radioactive medium. The capacity of EGTA to buffer all the Ca entering the fiber was explored by changing the free EGTA at constant [Ca++]i. At a free [EGTA]i greater than 200 microM, the measured resting Ca influx and the expected increment in Ca entry during electrical stimulation were independent of the axoplasmic free [EGTA]. To avoid Ca uptake by the mitochondrial system, cyanide, oligomycin, and FCCP were included in the perfusate. Axons dialyzed with a standard medium containing: [ATP] = 2 mM, [Ca++]i = 0.06 microM, [Ca++]o = 10 mM, [Na+]i = 70 mM, and [Na+]o = 465 mM, gave a mean Ca influx of 0.14 +/- 0.012 pmol.cm-2.s-1 (n = 12. Removal of ATP drops the Ca influx to 0.085 +/- 0.007 pmol.cm-2.s-1 (n = 12). Ca influx increased to 0.35 pmol.cm-2,s-1 when Nao was removed. The increment was completely abolished by removing Nai+ and (or) ATP from the dialysis medium. At nominal zero [Ca++]i, no Nai-dependent Ca influx was observed. In the presence of ATP and Nai [Ca++]i activates the Ca influx along a sigmoid curve without saturation up to 1 microM [Ca++]i. Removal of Nai+ always reduced the Ca influx to a value similar to that observed in the absence of [Ca++]i (0.087 +/- 0.008 pmol.cm-2.s-1; n = 11). Under the above standard conditions, 50-60% of the total Ca influx was found to be insensitive to Nai+, Cai++, and ATP, sensitive to membrane potential, and partially inhibited by external Co++. 相似文献

The effect of 1-(1-[4-(3-acetylaminopropoxy)benzoyl]-4-piperidyl-3,4-dihydro-2(1 H)- quinolinone) (OPC-21268) on vascular action of arginine vasopressin (AVP) was examined in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) by the measurement of cytosolic free calcium concentration [( Ca2+]i) and the AVP V1 receptor study. The preincubation of cells with OPC-21268 for 10 min inhibited the AVP-induced mobilization of [Ca2+]i in a dose-dependent manner but did not affect the angiotensin II-induced mobilization of [Ca2+]i. The receptor study revealed that OPC-21268 blocks the binding of AVP to the receptor in VSMC in a similar way to the V1 structural antagonist [1-(beta-mercapto-beta,beta-cyclopentamethylenepropionic acid)-2-O-methyltyrosine]AVP: d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)AVP. Lineweaver-Burk plot showed that OPC-21268 is the competitive AVP V1 receptor antagonist. These results therefore indicate that OPC-21268 specifically blocks the vascular action of AVP mediated through the competitive inhibition of AVP binding to the receptors in VSMC. 相似文献

Rat anterior pituitary cells, loaded with the calcium indicator dye fura-2 after primary culture, were challenged with prolactin and growth hormone secretagogues and inhibitory hormones. To initially validate the technique, the calcium channel activator maitotoxin effectively increased intracellular free calcium [( Ca++]i). Various concentrations of the secretagogues thyrotropin releasing hormone or angiotensin II induced peak increases in [Ca++]i within 15 sec, followed by a lower and prolonged plateau phase. The inhibitory hormones dopamine and somatostatin maximally reduced [Ca++]i by 15-20 sec, followed by a spontaneous return to baseline over 5-10 min. The receptor antagonists saralacin and spiperone blocked the angiotensin II and dopamine effects, respectively. Thus, fura-2 appears to be an adequate probe for resolving second-to-second changes in [Ca++]i induced by hormone receptor activation in anterior pituitary cells. 相似文献

The LAN-1 clone, a cell line derived from a human neuroblastoma, possesses muscarinic receptors. The stimulation of these receptors with increasing concentrations of carbachol (CCh; 1-1,000 microM) caused a dose-dependent increase of the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). This increase was characterized by an early peak phase (10 s) and a late plateau phase. The removal of extracellular Ca2+ reduced the magnitude of the peak phase to approximately 70% but completely abolished the plateau phase. The muscarinic-activated Ca2+ channel was gadolinium (Gd3+) blockade and nimodipine and omega-conotoxin insensitive. In addition, membrane depolarization did not cause any increase in [Ca2+]i. The CCh-induced [Ca2+]i elevation was concentration-dependently inhibited by pirenzepine and 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide, two rather selective antagonists of M1 and M3 muscarinic receptor subtypes, respectively, whereas methoctramine, an M2 antagonist, was ineffective. The coupling of M1 and M3 receptor activation with [Ca2+]i elevation does not seem to be mediated by a pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding protein or by the diacylglycerol-protein kinase C system. The mobilization of [Ca2+]i elicited by M1 and M3 muscarinic receptor stimulation seems to be dependent on an inositol trisphosphate-sensitive intracellular store. In addition, ryanodine did not prevent CCh-induced [Ca2+]i mobilization, and, finally, LAN-1 cells appear to lack caffeine-sensitive Ca2+ stores, because the methylxanthine was unable to elicit intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, under basal conditions, after a subthreshold concentration of CCh (0.3 microM), or after thapsigargin. 相似文献

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) traverse an endothelial cell (EC) barrier by crawling between neighboring EC. Whether EC regulate the integrity of their intercellular adhesive and junctional contacts in response to chemotaxing PMN is unresolved. EC respond to the binding of soluble mediators such as histamine by increasing their cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca++]i) (Rotrosen, D., and J.I. Gallin. 1986. J. Cell Biol. 103:2379-2387) and undergoing shape changes (Majno, G., S. M. Shea, and M. Leventhal. 1969. J. Cell Biol. 42:617-672). Substances such as leukotriene C4 (LTC4) and thrombin, which increased the permeability of EC monolayers to ions, as measured by the electrical resistance of the monolayers, transiently increased EC [Ca++]i. To determine whether chemotaxing PMN cause similar changes in EC [Ca++]i, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) maintained as monolayers were loaded with fura-2. [Ca++]i was measured in single EC during PMN adhesion to and migration across these monolayers. PMN-EC adhesion and transendothelial PMN migration in response to formyl- methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) as well as to interleukin 1 (IL- 1) treated EC induced a transient increase in EC [Ca++]i which temporally corresponded with the time course of PMN-EC interactions. When EC [Ca++]i was clamped at resting levels with a cell permeant calcium buffer, PMN migration across EC monolayers and PMN induced changes in EC monolayer permeability were inhibited. However, clamping of EC [Ca++]i did not inhibit PMN-EC adhesion. These studies provide evidence that EC respond to stimulated PMN by increasing their [Ca++]i and that this increase in [Ca++]i causes an increase in EC monolayer permeability. Such [Ca++]i increases are required for PMN transit across an EC barrier. We suggest EC [Ca++]i regulates transendothelial migration of PMN by participating in a signal cascade which stimulates EC to open their intercellular junctions to allow transendothelial passage of leukocytes. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether Ca2+ -Mg2+ ATPase in the distal tubule (where calcium transport is active, against a gradient, and hormone dependent) presents some characteristics different from those observed in the proximal tubule, and whether these characteristics are likely to shed light on the respective roles of this enzyme at the two sites of the nephron. The Ca2+ - and Mg2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis was measured in microdissected segments of the distal nephron, the kinetic parameters were determined, and the influence of magnesium upon the sensitivity to calcium was examined. Results were compared with those obtained in the proximal tubule, and in purified membranes as reported by others. In the distal tubule, low concentrations of Mg2+ (less than 10(-7) M) did not influence ATP hydrolysis. At concentrations above 10(-7) M, Mg2+ increased ATP hydrolysis according to Michaelis kinetics (apparent Km = 11.3 +/- 2.4 microM, Vmax = 219 +/- 26 pmol.mm-1.20 min-1). The addition of 1 microM Ca2+ decreased the apparent Km for Mg2+ and the Vmax for Mg2+. Similar results were obtained in the proximal tubule. At low Mg2+ concentrations, Ca2+ also stimulated ATP hydrolysis according to Michaelis kinetics with an apparent Km value for Ca2+ of 0.18 +/- 0.06 and 0.10 +/- 0.03 microM Ca2+ (ns) and a Vmax of 101 +/- 12 and 89 +/- 9 pmol.mm-1.20 min-1 (ns) in the distal and proximal tubules, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The effects of exposure of cultured P388D1 cells to H2O2 on intracellular free calcium ([Ca++]i) was investigated utilizing the intracellular fluorescent calcium chelator "Quin 2." [Ca++]i rose from approximately 150 nM to greater than 2 microM over a time course that was strongly dependent on the concentration of H2O2 used (5 X 10(-5) to 5 X 10(-3) M). After exposure of P388D1 cells to 5 X 10(-3) M H2O2, Quin 2 was fully saturated between 15 and 30 min exposure. During this time, no apparent change in the rate of equilibration of 45Ca++ from the extracellular medium could be detected, whereas in cells preloaded with 45Ca, net 45Ca was lost from the cells at a greater rate than controls. Measurements of total cellular calcium by atomic absorption spectroscopy confirmed that there was a net loss of calcium from the cells during the first 30 min. At time points greater than 45 min after exposure to H2O2 the influx of extracellular 45Ca and net intracellular Ca++, Na+ and K+ rapidly increased. Half times for H2O2 catabolism by the cells varied from about 8 min at 5.0 X 10(-4) M H2O2 to 14.0 min at 5.0 X 10(-3) M. When the total [Ca++]i-buffering capacity of the Quin 2 pool was varied by increasing the loading of intracellular Quin 2 by 68-fold (1.1 X 10(2) - 7.6 X 10(3) amol per cell), the rate of rise of [Ca++]i was depressed by only 1.6-fold following exposure to 5 mM H2O2. During the rise of intracellular [Ca++]i, cell morphology was observed by both light and scanning electron microscopy and revealed that "surface blebs" appeared during this phase of injury. Both the rise in [Ca++]i and "blebbing" were observable before any loss in cell viability was detected by either loss of Trypan blue exclusion or loss of preloaded 51Cr from the cells. From these results we conclude the following, H2O2 exposure induces a dose-dependent disturbance of intracellular calcium homeostatis; the rise in [Ca++]i is mediated by exposure to H2O2 in the early phase of the injury, and is not dependent on the continuing presence of the oxidant; the rate of rise of [Ca++]i is largely independent of the quantity of calcium mobilized to the Quin 2 pool; during the early phase (less than 30 min) of rise of [Ca++]i, only intracellular calcium is involved in the response; these events occur concomitantly with gross morphological changes to the plasma membrane.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Vascular vasopressin receptors mediate phosphatidylinositol turnover and calcium efflux in an established smooth muscle cell line 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Vasopressin-induced phosphatidylinositol turnover and mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ was studied using an established smooth muscle cell line (A-10). The cells were subcloned to ensure a monoclonal cell population. The accumulation of inositol mono-, di-, and tris-phosphates (IP1, IP2, and IP3, respectively), and the mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ were dependent on the time of incubation and the concentration of arginine vasopressin (AVP). IP1, IP2, and IP3 were significantly elevated after 15 sec and remained elevated for up to 2 hr. The concentrations of AVP required for half-maximal stimulation of IP1, IP2, and IP3 formation were 2, 12, and 4 nM, respectively. LiCl was required to observe the accumulation of inositol phosphates in response to AVP. Significant 45Ca2+ efflux was observed within 15 sec after exposure to AVP. By employing the vasopressin receptor subtype selective antagonists [d(CH2)5Tyr(Me)AVP, V1; d(CH2)5D-Tyr(Et)VAVP,V1/V2; d(CH2) 5D-IleVAVP,V2] and agonists [AVP, V1/V2; dDAVP, V2; dVDAVP, V2], we found that the vasopressin-induced stimulation of phosphatidylinositol turnover and 45Ca2+ efflux were mediated by receptors of the vascular V1 subtype. Pertussis toxin pretreatment partially inhibited vasopressin-induced phosphatidylinositol turnover. These data demonstrate that activation of V1 receptors of vascular smooth muscle cells resulted in enhanced phosphatidylinositol turnover and mobilization of intracellular Ca2+. 相似文献

The magnitude of the activating effect of ATP on the Ca efflux was explored at different [Ca++]i in squid axons previously exposed to cyanide seawater and internally dialyzed with a medium free of ATP and containing p-trifluoro methoxy carbonyl cyanide phenyl hydrazine. At the lowest [Ca++]i used (0.06 micron more than 95% of the Ca efflux depends on ATP. At high [Ca++]i (100 micron), 50-60% of the Ca efflux still depends on ATP. The apparant affinity constant for ATP was not significantly affected in the range of [Ca++]i from 0.06 to 1 micron. Axons dialyzed to reduce their internal magnesium failed to show the usual activation of the Ca efflux when the Tris or the sodium salt of ATP was used. Only in the presence of internal magnesium is ATP able to stimulate the Ca efflux. Nine naturally occurring high-energy phosphate compounds were ineffective in supporting calcium efflux. These compounds were: UTP, GTP, CTP, UDP, CDP, ADP, AMP, CAMP, and acetyl phosphate. The compounds 2' deoxy-ATP and the hydrolyzable analog alpha,beta-methylene ATP were able to activate the Ca efflux. The nonhydrolyzable analog beta,gamma-methylene ATP competes with ATP for the activating site, but is unable to activate the Ca efflux. The results are discussed in terms of the specificity of the nucleotide site responsible for the ATP-dependent Ca efflux. 相似文献

Vasopressin (AVP) receptors present in In-R1-G9 cells, a hamster glucagon-secreting alpha-pancreatic cell line, were characterized using SSR-149415, a selective nonpeptide V1b receptor antagonist, and reference AVP compounds. Binding experiments, using [3H]AVP as a ligand, identified a single population of high-affinity binding sites. SSR-149415 competitively inhibited this binding and exhibited nanomolar and stereospecific affinity for these sites. The affinity of various AVP/oxytocin ligands confirmed a V1b binding profile. In functional studies, AVP was a potent stimulant in inducing intracellular Ca2+ increase, glucagon secretion, and cell proliferation. These effects were fully antagonized by SSR-149415 with a nanomolar potency, whereas its diasteroisomer as well as two selective V1a and V2 receptor antagonists were much less potent. Additionally, the order of potency of AVP agonists and antagonists was in agreement with V1b-mediated effects. By RT-PCR, we confirmed the presence of V1b receptor mRNA in both In-R1-G9 cells and in human pancreas. The distribution pattern of V1b receptors investigated in human pancreas by immunohistochemistry showed strong labeling in islets of Langerhans, and colocalization studies indicated that this receptor was expressed in alpha-glucagon, beta-insulin, and somatostatin pancreatic cells. Thus, in In-R1-G9 cells, AVP mediates intracellular Ca2+ increase, glucagon secretion, and cell proliferation by activating V1b receptors, and these effects are potently antagonized by SSR-149415. Moreover, the presence of V1b receptors also found in human Langerhans islets could suggest hormonal control of AVP in human pancreas. 相似文献

The effect of high potassium, 60 mM KCl, on the cellular action of arginine vasopressin (AVP) was studied in rat renal papillary collecting tubule cells in culture. In the presence of 0.5 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine AVP-induced cAMP production was enhanced by pretreatment of the cells with 60 mM KCl. Such an enhancement was not found in cells pretreated with Ca(2+)-free medium containing 1 mM EGTA or in Na(+)-free medium, which rather reduced AVP-induced cAMP production. Similar results were obtained with the blockers of cellular Ca2+ uptake, 1 x 10(-4) M verapamil and 1 x 10(-5) M nifedipine. The 60 mM KCl elevated the cellular sodium concentration ([Na+]i) from 15.1 to 18.8 mM, cellular pH (pHi) from 7.18 to 7.32, and basal cellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i). These results indicate that high potassium promptly augments AVP-induced cAMP production in renal papillary collecting tubule cells. This effect is based on the alkalinized pHi and the increased [Ca2+]i. 相似文献

Regulation in striated muscles primarily involves the effect of changes in the free calcium concentration on the interaction of subfragment-1 (S-1) with the actin-tropomyosin-troponin complex (henceforth referred to as [acto]R). At low concentrations of free Ca++ the rate of ATP hydrolysis by (acto)R S-1 can be as much as 20-fold lower than that in the presence of high free Ca++, even though the binding of S-1 to (actin)R in the presence of ATP is virtually independent of the calcium concentration. This implies that the mechanism of regulation involves a kinetic transition between actin-bound states, rather than the result of changes in actin binding. In the current work, we have investigated the fluorescence transient that occurs with the binding and hydrolysis of ATP both at low and high free [Ca++]. The magnitude of this transition at low free [Ca++] is higher than at high free [Ca++]. At low free [Ca++], the rate of the fluorescence transient either stays constant or decreases slightly with increasing free actin concentrations, but at high free [Ca++] the rate increases slightly with increasing free actin concentration. The observed changes in rate are not great enough to be of regulatory importance. The results of the fluorescence transient experiments together with the binding studies performed at steady state also show that neither the binding of M.ATP or M.ADP.Pi to (actin)R is appreciably Ca++ sensitive. These data imply that an additional step (or steps) in the ATPase cycle, i.e., other than the burst transition, must be regulated by calcium. 相似文献

Molecular mechanisms of homologous and heterologous desensitization mediated by vasopressin in smooth muscle cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) has been shown previously to enhance phosphatidylinositol (PI) turnover and mobilize calcium in the rat aortic smooth muscle cell-line (A10; ATCC CRL 1476) via the V1 receptor (Aiyar, N., Nambi, P., Stassen, F. L., and Crooke, S. T. (1986) Life Sci. 39, 37-45). Exposure of A10 cells to AVP for periods ranging from 5 min to 2 h resulted in 30-40% loss in AVP-binding sites and an inhibition of the production of inositol di- and trisphosphates and the mobilization of calcium when the cells were rechallenged by addition of AVP. We now report that during the same time course AVP induces a dose- and time-dependent decrease in labeled PI, phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate reaching a minimum after 30 min of incubation. After 2 h of exposure to AVP, the levels of labeled PI, phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate increased to a new basal level approximately 30% less than the untreated cultures. The decrease in inositol lipid labeling mediated by AVP was inhibited when the V1 antagonist SK&F 100273 was included in the incubations with AVP. No decrease was observed when the V2 agonist 1-deamino, [8-D-arginine]vasopressin was used for pretreatment of the cells. Furthermore, when PI kinase activity was measured in cell extracts from untreated and AVP-treated (2 h) cells a significant decrease (p less than 0.05) was observed in the absence, but not in the presence, of added PI in the AVP-treated cells as compared with the control cells. Thrombin also stimulates PI metabolism and calcium mobilization in these cells and brought about both a prolonged decrease in inositol lipids and inhibition of PI kinase activity. AVP pretreatment affected the release of intracellular Ca2+ induced by AVP, thrombin, and ATP, differently. The time of AVP pretreatment required to induce half-maximal inhibition of intracellular Ca2+ release in response to AVP, thrombin, and ATP was approximately 8, 24, and 30 min, respectively. Consequently, we suggest that the reduction in response to AVP with short term preincubation is due to homologous desensitization as reflected by 30-40% decrease in V1 receptors. Subsequently, a decrease in inositol lipid pools and PI kinase activity results in heterologous desensitization in response to AVP, thrombin, and ATP. 相似文献

Arginine vasopressin (AVP), released from the CNS, plays an important role in regulating several aspects of CNS functions including aggression, anxiety, and cognition. In this study, we report a novel finding that AVP induces glutamate release from astrocytes isolated from the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. We also investigated the types of AVP receptors involved in the AVP-induced increase in glutamate release from astrocytes isolated from the hippocampus and cortex of neonatal rats. We showed that the AVP (0.1-1000 nmol/L) induced increase in glutamate release and [Ca(2+)](i) is brought about by two distinct subtypes of V(1) receptors (V(1a) and V(1b)). Our results suggested that V(1b) receptors are predominantly expressed in astrocytes isolated from the hippocampus and V(1a) receptors are solely expressed in astrocytes isolated from the cerebral cortex of neonatal rats. The results of the western blot analyses confirmed these pharmacological data. In addition, the AVP-induced increase in glutamate did not contribute to an increase in [Ca(2+)](i), as blockade of metabotropic glutamate receptors did not alter the AVP-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i). In addition, the administration of a phospholipase A(2) inhibitor failed to alter AVP-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase suggesting the lack of involvement of this enzyme. 相似文献

Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of the neurohypophyseal neuropeptide arginine8-vasopressin (AVP) results in a dose-dependent attenuation of endotoxin-induced fever (EIF) in rats. Specific antagonists of the neuropeptided(CH2)5[Tyr(Me)2]AVP for V1 receptors, d(CH2)5[dlle2lle4]AVP for the V2 receptors and Des-Gly,NH2d(CH2)5[Tyr)Me2)Thr4Orn8]vasotocin, an antagonist of the oxytocin receptors (AOXT), failed to modify EIF when administered i.c.v. Relatively high doses (100 ng) of all three peptide antagonists effectively blocked the antipyretic effect of AVP. Administered in smaller doses (10 or 30 ng), however, a more specific interaction was observed, i.e. the V1 antagonist being the only effective compound in preventing the effect of AVP. Although the data indicate that peptide-antagonist interactions should be interpreted carefully, the present experiments confirm previous observations on the involvement of V1-type receptors in the antipyretic action of AVP and suggest additional interactions with V2 vasopressinergic and oxytocinergic receptors. 相似文献

We have examined the nature of the leukotriene B4 (LTB4) induced steady state intracellular calcium rise [Ca++]i in guinea pig eosinophils and the relationship between LTB4 induced [Ca++]i and superoxide anion (O2-). LTB4 induced a rise in intracellular Ca++ (following a Ca(++)- transient) in a dose dependent manner with an optimal increase around 50-100 nM. Depolarizing concentrations of K+ did not induce [Ca++]i in eosinophils nor did the voltage operated calcium channel inhibitor, nifedipine, inhibit the LTB4 induced Ca++ entry. In contrast, SK&F 96365 a purported receptor operated calcium channel (ROCC) inhibitor, and its parent compound SC 32849, attenuated LTB4 induced [Ca++]i. Five reference anti-asthmatics (ketotifen, formoterol, disodium-cromoglycate, theophylline and budesonide) had no influence on LTB4 induced [Ca++]i. LTB4 also induced O2- generation (a functional response) in a dose dependent manner with optimal effect around 100 nM. However, in contrast to Ca(++)- influx, LTB4 induced O2- generation was not affected by either SK&F 96365 or its analogues or reference anti-asthmatics. The results of this study suggest a) the presence of a non-voltage gated, receptor operated, calcium sequestration process in guinea pig eosinophils, b) that LTB4 induced [Ca++]i and O2- generation are apparently unrelated events in these cells, and c) that standard anti-asthmatics do not have an influence on either LTB4 induced [Ca++]i or O2- generation in these cells. 相似文献
