In Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, the effect of p-chloroamphetamine, a neurotoxin that depletes intracellular serotonin, on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and viability was measured by using the Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dye fura-2 and the viability detecting fluorescent dye tetrazolium. p-Chloroamphetamine (> or = 10 microM) caused a rapid rise of [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. p-Chloroamphetamine-induced [Ca2+]i rise was partly reduced by removal of extracellular Ca2+. p-Chloroamphetamine-induced extracellular Ca2+ influx was also suggested by Mn2+ influx-induced fura-2 fluorescence quench. In Ca2+-free medium, thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, caused a monophasic [Ca2+]i rise, after which p-chloroamphetamine failed to increase [Ca2+]i; also, pretreatment with p-chloroamphetamine reduced 50% of thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ stores. U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, abolished ATP (but not p-chloroamphetamine)-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Overnight incubation with 1-500 microM p-chloroamphetamine decreased cell viability. These findings suggest that p-chloroamphetamine evokes a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i in renal tubular cells by stimulating both extracellular Ca2+ influx and intracellular Ca2+ release, and is cytotoxic. 相似文献

To explore the effect of nortriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, on cytosolic free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) in corneal epithelial cells, [Ca2+]i levels in suspended SIRC rabbit corneal epithelial cells were measured by using fura-2 as a Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dye. Nortriptyline at concentrations between 20-200 microM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. The Ca2+ signal was reduced partly by removing extracellular Ca2+. Nortriptyline-induced Ca2+ influx was inhibited by the store-operated Ca2+ channel blockers econazole and SK&F96365, the phospholipase A2 inhibitor aristolochic acid, and alteration of activity of protein kinase C. In Ca2+-free medium, 200 microM nortriptyline pretreatment greatly inhibited the rise of [Ca2+]i induced by the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor thapsigargin. Conversely, pretreatment with thapsigargin or 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone (BHQ; another endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor) nearly abolished nortriptyline-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 decreased nortriptyline-induced [Ca2+]i rise by 75%. Taken together, nortriptyline induced [Ca2+]i rises in SIRC cells by causing phospholipase C-dependent Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca2+ influx via store-operated Ca2+ channels. 相似文献

In Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, the effect of 2-O-methyl PAF, an inactive analogue of platelet activating factor (PAF), on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured by using the Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dye fura-2. 2-O-methyl PAF (> or = 15 microM) caused a rapid rise of [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. 2-O-methyl PAF-induced [Ca2+]i rise was partly reduced by removal of extracellular Ca2+. 2-O-methyl PAF-induced extracellular Ca2+ influx was also suggested by Mn2+ influx-induced fura-2 fluorescence quench. The 2-O-methyl PAF-induced Ca2+ influx was blocked by nifedipine, verapamil and diltiazem. In Ca2+-free medium, thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, caused a monophasic [Ca2+]i rise, after which 2-O-methyl PAF failed to increase [Ca2+]i; also, pretreatment with 2-O-methyl PAF depleted thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ stores. U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, abolished ATP (but not 2-O-methyl PAF)-induced [Ca2+]i rise. These findings suggest that 2-O-methyl PAF evokes a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i in renal tubular cells by stimulating both extracellular Ca2+ influx and intracellular Ca2+ release. 相似文献

The effect of nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), a compound commonly used as a lipoxygenases inhibitor, on intracellular free Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) in PC3 human prostate cancer cells was investigated. [Ca2+]i was measured by using the Ca2+ -sensitive dye fura-2. NDGA increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 of 30 microM. The Ca2+ signal comprised a gradual and sustained increase. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ partly decreased the NDGA-induced [Ca2+]i increase, suggesting that the Ca2+ signal was due to both extracellular Ca2+ influx and intracellular Ca2+ release. NDGA-induced Ca2+ influx was independently confirmed by measuring NDGA-induced Mn2+ -coupled quench of fura-2 fluorescence. The NDGA-induced Ca2+ influx was not affected by L-type Ca2+ channel blockers. In Ca2+ -free medium, the NDGA-induced [Ca2+]i increase was abolished by pretreatment with 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor), and conversely, pretreatment with NDGA abolished thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]i increase. NDGA-induced intracellular Ca2+ release was not altered by inhibition of phospholipase C. Overnight treatment with 20-50 microM NDGA inhibited cell proliferation rate in a concentration-dependent manner. Several other lipoxygenases inhibitors did not alter [Ca2+]i. Collectively, this study shows that in prostate cells, NDGA induced a [Ca2+]i increase via releasing stored Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum in a manner independent of phospholipase C activity, and by causing Ca2+ influx. NDGA also caused cytotoxicity at higher concentrations. 相似文献

This study explored whether sulforaphane changed basal [Ca2+]i levels in suspended Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells by using fura-2 as a Ca(2+)-sensitive fluorescent dye. Sulforaphane at concentrations between 2.5-10 microM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. This Ca2+ influx was inhibited by phospholipase A2 inhibitor aristolochic acid but not by Ca2+ channel blockers such as nifedipine, nimodipine, nicardipine, diltiazem, verapamil, econazole and SK&F96365. The Ca2+ signal was abolished by removing extracellular Ca2+. In Ca(2+)-free medium, pretreatment with sulforaphane did not alter the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ release suggesting sulforaphane did not induce slow Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum. At concentrations between 1 and 20 microM, sulforaphane induced concentration-dependent decrease in cell viability which was not affected by pre-chelation of cytosolic Ca2+ with BAPTA/AM. Flow cytometry data suggest that 20 (but not 5 and 10) microM sulforaphane induced significant increase in sub G1 phase indicating involvement of apoptosis. Collectively, in MDCK cells, sulforaphane induced [Ca2+]i rises by causing Ca2+ entry through phospholipase A2-sensitive pathways without inducing Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum. Sulforaphane also induced Ca(2+)-independent cell death that might involve apoptosis. 相似文献

The effect of mercury (Hg2+), a known nephrotoxicant, on intracellular free Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) in Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was explored. [Ca2+]i was measured by using the Ca2+ -sensitive dye fura-2. Hg2+ increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 of 6 microM. The Ca2+ signal comprised a gradual increase. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ decreased the Hg2+ -induced [Ca2+]i increase by 27%, suggesting that the Ca2+ signal was due to both extracellular Ca2+ influx and store Ca2+ release. In Ca2+ -free medium, the Hg2+ -induced [Ca2+]i increase was nearly abolished by pretreatment with 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor), and conversely, pretreatment with Hg2+ abolished thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ increase. Hg2+ -induced Ca2+ release was not altered by inhibition of phospholipase C but was potentiated by activation of protein kinase C. Overnight treatment with 1 microM Hg2+ did not alter cell proliferation rate and mitochondrial activity, but 10 microM Hg2+ killed all cells. Collectively, this study shows that Hg2+ induced protein kinase C-regulated [Ca2+]i increases in renal tubular cells via releasing store Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum in a manner independent of phospholipase C activity. Hg2+ also caused cytotoxicity at higher concentrations. 相似文献

The effect of miconazole on intracellular calcium levels ([Ca2+]i) in Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was studied using fura-2 as the Ca2+ indicator. Miconazole increased [Ca2+]i dose-dependently at concentrations of 5-100 microM. The [Ca2+]i transient consisted of an initial rise, a gradual decay and an elevated plateau (220 s after addition of the drug). Removal of extracellular Ca2+ partly reduced the miconazole response. Mn2+ quench of fura-2 fluorescence confirmed that miconazole induced Ca2+ influx. The miconazole-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ store overlapped with that sensitive to thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump, because 20 microM miconazole depleted the thapsigargin (1 microM)-sensitive store, and conversely, thapsigargin abolished miconazole-induced internal Ca2+ release. Miconazole (20-50 microM) partly inhibited the capacitative Ca2+ entry induced by 1 microM thapsigargin, measured by depleting intracellular Ca2+ store in Ca(2+)-free medium followed by addition of 10 mM CaCl2. Miconazole induced capacitative Ca2+ entry on its own. Pretreatment with 0.1 mM La3+ partly inhibited 20 microM miconazole-induced Mn2+ quench of fura-2 fluorescence and [Ca2+]i rise, suggesting that miconazole induced Ca2+ influx via two pathways separable by 0.1 mM La3+. Miconazole-induced internal Ca2+ release was not altered when the cytosolic level of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) was substantially inhibited by the phospholipase C inhibitor U73122. 相似文献

The effect of 2,4,6-trimethyl-N-(meta-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-benzenesulfonamide (m-3M3FBS), a presumed phospholipase C activator, on cytosolic free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) in PC3 human prostate cancer cells is unclear. This study explored whether m-3M3FBS changed basal [Ca2+]i levels in suspended PC3 cells by using fura-2 as a Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dye. M-3M3FBS at concentrations between 10-50 microM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. The Ca2+ signal was reduced by 60% by removing extracellular Ca2+. M-3M3FBS-induced Ca2+ influx was inhibited by the store-operated Ca2+ channel blockers nifedipine, econazole and SK&F96365, and by the phospholipase A2 inhibitor aristolochic acid. In Ca2+-free medium, 30 microM m-3M3FBS pretreatment greatly inhibited the [Ca2+]i rise induced by the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor thapsigargin or BHQ. Conversely, pretreatment with thapsigargin, BHQ or cyclopiazonic acid reduced the major part of m-3M3FBS-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 did not much alter m-3M3FBS-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Collectively, in PC3 cells, m-3M3FBS induced [Ca2+]i rises by causing phospholipase C-independent Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca2+ influx via store-operated Ca2+ channels. 相似文献

The effect of miconazole, an anti-fungal drug, on cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) in human osteosarcoma cells (MG63) was explored by using the Ca2+-sensitive dye fura-2. Miconazole acted in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 of 75 microM. The Ca2+ signal comprised a gradual rise and a sustained elevation. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ reduced 50% 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 20 microM miconazole. Pretreatment with thapsigargin partly inhibited miconazole-induced Ca2+ release. The miconazole-induced Ca2+ release was not changed by inhibition of phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122. By using tetrazolium as a fluorescent probe, it was shown that 10-100 microM miconazole decreased cell proliferation rate in a concentration-dependent manner. Collectively, this study shows that miconazole induces [Ca2+]i rises in human osteosarcoma cells via releasing Ca2+ mainly from the endoplasmic reticulum in a manner independent of phospholipase C activity, and by causing Ca2+ influx. Furthermore, miconazole may be cytotoxic to the cells at higher concentrations. 相似文献

The effect of 2,4,6-trimethyl-N-(meta-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-benzenesulfonamide (m-3M3FBS), a presumed phospholipase C activator, on cytosolic free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) in OC2 human oral cancer cells is unclear. This study explored whether m-3M3FBS changed basal [Ca2+]i levels in suspended OC2 cells by using fura-2 as a Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dye. M-3M3FBS at concentrations between 10-60 μM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. The Ca2+ signal was reduced partly by removing extracellular Ca2+. M-3M3FBS-induced Ca2+ influx was inhibited by the store-operated Ca2+ channel blockers nifedipine, econazole and SK&F96365, and by the phospholipase A2 inhibitor aristolochic acid. In Ca2+-free medium, 30 μM m-3M3FBS pretreatment inhibited the [Ca2+]i rise induced by the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitors thapsigargin and 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone (BHQ). Conversely, pretreatment with thapsigargin, BHQ or cyclopiazonic acid partly reduced m-3M3FBS-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Inhibition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation with U73122 did not alter m-3M3FBS-induced [Ca2+]i rise. At concentrations between 5 and 100 μM m-3M3FBS killed cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The cytotoxic effect of m-3M3FBS was not reversed by prechelating cytosolic Ca2+ with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA). Propidium iodide staining data suggest that m-3M3FBS (20 or 50 μM) induced apoptosis in a Ca2+-independent manner. Collectively, in OC2 cells, m-3M3FBS induced [Ca2+]i rise by causing inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-independent Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca2+ influx via phospholipase A2-sensitive store-operated Ca2+ channels. M-3M3FBS also induced Ca2+-independent cell death and apoptosis. 相似文献

In human neuroblastoma IMR32 cells, the effect of the anti-depressant maprotiline on baseline intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) was explored by using the Ca2+-sensitive probe fura-2. Maprotiline at concentrations greater than 100 microM caused a rapid rise in [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50 = 200 microM). Maprotiline-induced [Ca2+]i rise was reduced by 50% by removal of extracellular Ca2+. Maprotiline-induced [Ca2+]i rises were inhibited by half by nifedipine, but was unaffected by verapamil or diiltiazem. 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 maprotiline on [Ca2+]i was abolished. U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, did not affect maprotiline-induced [Ca2+]i rises. These findings suggest that in human neuroblastoma cells, maprotiline increases [Ca2+]i by stimulating extracellular Ca2+ influx and also by causing intracellular Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum via a phospholiase C-independent manner. 相似文献

The effect of fendiline, a documented inhibitor of L-type Ca2+ channels and calmodulin, on Ca2+ signaling in Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was investigated using fura-2 as a Ca2+ probe. Fendiline at 5-100 microM significantly increased [Ca2+]i concentration-dependently. The [Ca2+]i rise consisted of an initial rise and a slow decay. External Ca2+ removal partly inhibited the Ca2+ signals induced by 25-100 microM fendiline by reducing both the initial rise and the decay phase. This suggests that fendiline triggered external Ca2+ influx and internal Ca2+ release. In Ca(2+)-free medium, pretreatment with 50 microM fendiline nearly abolished the [Ca2+]i rise induced by 1 microM thapsigargin, an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor, and vice versa, pretreatment with thapsigargin prevented fendiline from releasing internal Ca2+. This indicates that the internal Ca2+ source for fendiline overlaps with that for thapsigargin. At a concentration of 50 microM, fendiline caused Mn2+ quench of fura-2 fluorescence at the 360 nm excitation wavelenghth, which was inhibited by 0.1 mM La3+ by 50%, implying that fendiline-induced Ca2+ influx has two components separable by La3+. Consistently, 0.1 mM La3+ pretreatment suppressed fendiline-induced [Ca2+]i rise, and adding La3+ during the rising phase immediately inhibited the signal. Addition of 3 mM Ca2+ increased [Ca2+]i after preincubation with 50-100 microM fendiline in Ca(2+)-free medium. However, 50-100 microM fendiline inhibited 1 microM thapsigargin-induced capacitative Ca2+ entry. Pretreatment with 40 microM aristolochic acid to inhibit phospholipase A2 inhibited 50 microM fendiline-induced internal Ca2+ release by 48%, but inhibition of phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122 or inhibition of phospholipase D with 0.1 mM propranolol had no effect. Collectively, we have found that fendiline increased [Ca2+]i in MDCK cells by releasing internal Ca2+ in a manner independent of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), followed by external Ca2+ influx. 相似文献

The effect of celecoxib on renal tubular cells is largely unexplored. In Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, the effect of celecoxib on intracellular CaCa2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and proliferation was examined by using the Ca(2 +)-sensitive fluorescent dye fura-2 and the viability detecting fluorescent dye tetrazolium, respectively. Celecoxib (> or =1 micro M) caused an increase of [CaCa2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. Celecoxib-induced [CaCa2+]i increase was partly reduced by removal of extracellular CaCa2+. Celecoxib-induced CaCa2+ influx was independently suggested by MnCa2+ influx-induced fura-2 fluorescence quench. In Ca(2 +)-free medium, thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2 +)-ATPase, caused a monophasic [CaCa2+]i increase, after which celecoxib only induced a tiny [CaCa2+]i increase; conversely, pretreatment with celecoxib completely inhibited thapsigargin-induced [CaCa2+]i increases. U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, abolished ATP (but not celecoxib)-induced [CaCa2+]i increases. Overnight incubation with 1 or 10 micro M celecoxib decreased cell viability by 80% and 100%, respectively. These data indicate that celecoxib evokes a [CaCa2+]i increase in renal tubular cells by stimulating both extracellular CaCa2+ influx and intracellular CaCa2+ release and is highly toxic to renal tubular cells in vitro. 相似文献

The effect of the antidepressant paroxetine on cytosolic free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) in OC2 human oral cancer cells is unclear. This study explored whether paroxetine changed basal [Ca2+]i levels in suspended OC2 cells by using fura-2 as a Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dye. Paroxetine at concentrations between 100-1,000 microM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. The Ca2+ signal was reduced by 50% by removing extracellular Ca2+. Paroxetine-induced Ca2+ influx was inhibited by the store-operated Ca2+ channel blockers nifedipine, econazole and SK&F96365, and protein kinase C modulators. In Ca2+-free medium, pretreatment with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor thapsigargin abolished paroxetine-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 did not alter paroxetine-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Paroxetine at 10-50 microM induced cell death in a concentration-dependent manner. The death was not reversed when cytosolic Ca2+ was chelated with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid. Propidium iodide staining suggests that apoptosis plays a role in the death. Collectively, in OC2 cells, paroxetine induced [Ca2+]i rise by causing phospholipase C-independent Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca2+ influx via store-operated Ca2+ channels in a manner regulated by protein kinase C and phospholipase A2. Paroxetine (up to 50 microM) induced cell death in a Ca2+-independent manner. 相似文献

Effect of the carcinogen thapsigargin on human prostate cancer cells is unclear. This study examined if thapsigargin altered basal [Ca2?](i) levels in suspended PC3 human prostate cancer cells by using fura-2 as a Ca2?-sensitive fluorescent probe. Thapsigargin at concentrations between 10?nM and 10 μM increased [Ca2?](i) in a concentration-dependent fashion. The Ca2? signal was reduced partly by removing extracellular Ca2? indicating that Ca2? entry and release both contributed to the [Ca2?](i) rise. This Ca2? influx was inhibited by suppression of phospholipase A2, but not by inhibition of store-operated Ca2? channels or by modulation of protein kinase C activity. In Ca2?-free medium, pretreatment with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2? pump inhibitor 2,5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-hydroquinone (BHQ) nearly abolished thapsigargin-induced Ca2? release. Conversely, pretreatment with thapsigargin greatly reduced BHQ-induced [Ca2?](i) rise, suggesting that thapsigargin released Ca2? from the endoplasmic reticulum. Inhibition of phospholipase C did not change thapsigargin-induced [Ca2?](i) rise. At concentrations of 1-10 μM, thapsigargin induced cell death that was partly reversed by chelation of Ca2? with BAPTA/AM. Annexin V/propidium iodide staining data suggest that apoptosis was partly responsible for thapsigargin-induced cell death. Together, in PC3 human prostate cancer cells, thapsigargin induced [Ca2?](i) rises by causing phospholipase C-independent Ca2? release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca2? influx via phospholipase A2-sensitive Ca2? channels. Thapsigargin also induced cell death via Ca2?-dependent pathways and Ca2?-independent apoptotic pathways. 相似文献

The in vitro effect of desipramine on renal tubular cell is unknown. In Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, the effect of desipramine on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured by using fura-2. Desipramine (>25 microM) caused a rapid and sustained rise of [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50=50 microM). Desipramine-induced [Ca2+]i rise was prevented by 40% by removal of extracellular Ca2+ but was not altered by L-type Ca2+ channel blockers. In Ca2+-free medium, thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, caused a monophasic [Ca2+]i rise, after which desipramine failed to release more Ca2+; in addition, pretreatment with desipramine partly decreased thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]i increase. U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, did not change desipramine-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Incubation with 10-100 microM desipramine enhances or inhibits cell proliferation in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of desipramine on proliferation was not extracellular Ca2+-dependent. Apoptosis appears to contribute to desipramine-induced cell death. Together, these findings suggest that desipramine increases baseline [Ca2+]i in renal tubular cells by evoking both extracellular Ca2+ influx and intracellular Ca2+ release, and can cause apoptosis. 相似文献

The effect of the carcinogen safrole on intracellular Ca2+ movement in renal tubular cells has not been explored previously. The present study examined whether safrole could alter Ca2+ handling in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) 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 33 microM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 value of 400 microM. The Ca2+ signal was reduced by 90% by removing extracellular Ca2+, but was not affected by nifedipine, verapamil, or diltiazem. Addition of Ca2+ after safrole had depleted intracellular Ca(2+)-induced dramatic Ca2+ influx, suggesting that safrole caused store-operated Ca2+ entry. In Ca(2+)-free medium, after pretreatment with 650 microM safrole, 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor) failed to release more Ca 2+. Inhibition of phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122 did not affect safrole-induced Ca2+ release. Trypan blue exclusion assays revealed that incubation with 650 microM safrole for 30 min did not kill cells, but killed 70% of cells after incubation for 60 min. Collectively, the data suggest that in MDCK cells, safrole induced a [Ca2+] increase by causing Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum in a phospholipase C-independent fashion, and by inducing Ca2+ influx via store-operated Ca2+ entry. Furthermore, safrole can cause acute toxicity to MDCK cells. 相似文献

The effect of clotrimazole on Ca2+ signaling in Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was investigated by using fura-2 as a Ca2+ indicator. Clotrimazole (1-30 microM) induced a concentration-dependent [Ca2+]i increase. The [Ca2+]i increase comprised an initial rise and a slow decay. External Ca2+ removal partly inhibited the Ca2+ signals by reducing both the initial rise and the decay phase, indicating that clotrimazole triggered both Ca2+ influx and Ca2+ release. Pretreatment with 30 microM clotrimazole in Ca2+-free medium abolished the Ca2+ release induced by thapsigargin (1 microM), an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor, and conversely, pretreatment with thapsigargin prevented clotrimazole from releasing more Ca2+. This suggests that the thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ store is the source of clotrimazole-induced Ca2+ release. Clotrimazole (10 microM) triggered Mn2+ quench of fura-2 fluorescence which was partly inhibited by 1 mM La3+. Addition of 3 mM Ca2+ induced a [Ca2+]i increase after preincubation with 10 microM clotrimazole in Ca2+-free medium, indicating that clotrimazole activated capacitative Ca2+ entry. However, 10 and 30 microM clotrimazole inhibited 1 microM thapsigargin-induced capacitative Ca2+ entry by 21% and 74%, respectively. Pretreatment with 40 microM aristolochic acid to inhibit phospholipase A2 reduced 30 microM clotrimazole-induced Ca2+ release by 51%, but inhibiting phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122 had little effect. This implies that clotrimazole induces Ca2+ release in an IP3-independent manner, which could be modulated by phospholipase A2-coupled events. 相似文献

The effect of nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), a lipoxygenase inhibitor, on Ca2+ signaling in Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells has been investigated. NDGA (10-100 microM) increased [Ca2+]i concentration-dependently. The [Ca2+]i increase comprised an initial slow rise and a plateau over a time period of 5 min. Ca2+ removal partly inhibited the Ca2+ signals induced by 25-100 microM NDGA and abolished that induced by 10 microM NDGA. In Ca(2+)-free medium, pretreatment with 0.1 mM NDGA for 12 min abolished the [Ca2+]i increase induced by the mitochondrial uncoupler carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP; 2 microM) and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ pump inhibitor thapsigargin (1 microM). However, 0.1 mM NDGA still increased [Ca2+]i after Ca2+ stores had been depleted by pretreating with 2 microM CCCP, 1 microM thapsigargin and 0.1 mM cyclopiazonic acid. NDGA (50 microM) activated Mn2+ quench of fura-2 fluorescence at 360 nm excitation wavelength, which was almost abolished by 50 microM La3+. This implies NDGA induced Ca2+ influx mainly via a La(3+)-sensitive pathway. Consistently, 50 microM La3+ pretreatment inhibited 0.1 mM NDGA-induced [Ca2+]i increase. Adding 3 mM Ca2+ increased [Ca2+]i in cells pretreated with 0.1 mM NDGA in Ca(2+)-free medium, suggesting NDGA activated capacitative Ca2+ entry. Pretreatment with 0.1 mM NDGA for 200 s prior to Ca2+ did not alter 1 microM thapsigargin-induced capacitative Ca2+ entry. Pretreatment with 40 microM aristolochic acid to inhibit phospholipase A2 reduced 0.1 mM NDGA-induced Ca2+ release by 65%, but inhibiting phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122 had little effect. This suggests NDGA-induced Ca2+ release was independent of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), but was modulated by phospholipase A2. 相似文献

The effect of NPC-14686, a potential anti-inflammatory drug, on cytosolic free Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) and growth in PC3 human prostate cancer cells was examined by using fura-2 as a fluorescent Ca2+ indicator and WST-1 as a fluorescent growth dye. NPC-14686 at concentrations above 10 microM increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 value of 100 microM. NPC-14686-induced Ca2+ influx was confirmed by Mn2+ quench of fura-2 fluorescence. The Ca2+ signal was also reduced by removing extracellular Ca2+. Pretreatment with 1 microM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor) to deplete the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ nearly abolished 200 microM NPC-14686-induced Ca2+ release; and conversely pretreatment with NPC-14686 completely inhibited thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ release. The Ca2+ release induced by 200 microM NPC-14686 was not affected by inhibiting phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122. Overnight treatment with 1-500 microM NPC-14686 decreased cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner. These findings suggest that in human PC3 prostate cancer cells, NPC-14686 increases [Ca2+]i by evoking extracellular Ca2+ influx and releasing intracellular Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum via a phospholiase C-independent manner. NPC-14686 may be cytotoxic to prostate cancer cells. 相似文献
