Vasopressin caused a 40% inhibition of 45Ca uptake after the addition of 0.1 mM-45Ca2+ to Ca2+-deprived hepatocytes. At 1.3 mM-45Ca2+, vasopressin and ionophore A23187 each caused a 10% inhibition of 45Ca2+ uptake, whereas La3+ increased the rate of 45Ca2+ uptake by Ca2+-deprived cells. Under steady-state conditions at 1.3 mM extracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+o), vasopressin and La3+ each increased the rate of 45Ca2+ exchange. The concentrations of vasopressin that gave half-maximal stimulation of 45Ca2+ exchange and glycogen phosphorylase activity were similar. At 0.1 mM-Ca2+o, La3+ increased, but vasopressin did not alter, the rate of 45Ca2+ exchange. The results of experiments performed with EGTA or A23187 or by subcellular fractionation indicate that the Ca2+ taken up by hepatocytes in the presence of La3+ is located within the cell. The addition of 1.3 mM-Ca2+o to Ca2+-deprived cells caused increases of approx. 50% in the concentration of free Ca2+ in the cytoplasm [( Ca2+]i) and in glycogen phosphorylase activity. Much larger increases in these parameters were observed in the presence of vasopressin or ionophore A23187. In contrast with vasopressin, La3+ did not cause a detectable increase in glycogen phosphorylase activity or in [Ca2+]i. It is concluded that an increase in plasma membrane Ca2+ inflow does not by itself increase [Ca2+]i, and hence that the ability of vasopressin to maintain increased [Ca2+]i over a period of time is dependent on inhibition of the intracellular removal of Ca2+. 相似文献

Platelet-derived growth factor stimulates non-mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake and inhibits mitogen-induced Ca2+ signaling in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Changes in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i) were used to study the interaction between mitogens in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) produced an increase in [Ca2+]i and markedly decreased the increases in [Ca2+]i caused by subsequent addition of bradykinin and vasopressin. If the order of the additions was reversed the [Ca2+]i response to PDGF was not inhibited by bradykinin or vasopressin. Inhibition of protein kinase C by staurosporine or chronic treatment of the cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate prevented the inhibitory effect of PDGF on the [Ca2+]i response to vasopressin but not bradykinin. PDGF did not decrease the receptor binding of bradykinin and produced only a small decrease in the receptor binding of vasopressin. PDGF decreased the rise in [Ca2+]i caused by the Ca2+ ionophores 4-bromo-A23187 and ionomycin and by a membrane perturbing ether lipid, 1-octadecyl-2-methyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine, both in the presence and absence of external Ca2+. There was no change in cell 45Ca2+ influx caused by PDGF, vasopressin, or bradykinin. 45Ca2+ efflux from cells exposed to PDGF and vasopressin mirrored the changes in [Ca2+]i caused by the agents, that is, PDGF added after vasopressin produced a further increase in 45Ca2+ efflux but vasopressin did not increase 45Ca2+ efflux after PDGF. PDGF but not vasopressin caused an increase in the uptake of 45Ca2+ into an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-insensitive non-mitochondrial store in permeabilized cells. The results suggest that the decreased [Ca2+]i response to mitogens after PDGF represents an action of PDGF at a point beyond the release of intracellular Ca2+ and the influx of external Ca2+, caused by an increase in the rate of removal of cytoplasmic free Ca2+. This increased removal of cytoplasmic Ca2+ by PDGF is not due to the increased export of Ca2+ from the cell but results from increased Ca2+ uptake into non-mitochondrial stores. 相似文献

Synergistic stimulation of the Ca2+ influx in rat hepatocytes by glucagon and the Ca2+-linked hormones vasopressin and angiotensin II 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Glucagon was added to isolated rat hepatocytes, either alone or together with vasopressin or angiotensin II, and the effects on the initial 45Ca2+ uptake rate were investigated. Addition of glucagon alone which increased cyclic AMP content of the cells slightly increased the initial 45Ca2+ uptake rate. When glucagon was added together with vasopressin or angiotensin II--both of which when added separately increase the initial 45Ca2+ uptake rate but did not affect the cellular content of cyclic AMP--the measured initial 45Ca2+ uptake rate was larger than the sum of that seen with each hormone alone. This indicates that glucagon and Ca2+-linked hormones synergistically enhanced the Ca2+ influx in rat hepatocytes. These effects of glucagon can be mimicked by dibutyryl cyclic AMP or forskolin, suggesting that cyclic AMP augments both the resting Ca2+ and the vasopressin- or angiotensin II-stimulated influx. Measurement of the initial 45Ca2+ uptake rate as a function of the extracellular Ca2+ concentration indicated that the increase in the Ca2+ influx resulting from single or combined glucagon and vasopressin administration occurred through a homogeneous population of Ca2+ gates. These hormones were found to raise both the apparent Km for external Ca2+ and the apparent Vmax of the Ca2+ influx. The maximal increase in these two parameters was observed when the two hormones were added together. This suggests that glucagon and vasopressin synergistically stimulate the same Ca2+ gating mechanism. The dose-response curves for the action of glucagon or vasopressin applied in the presence of increasing concentrations of vasopressin or glucagon, respectively, showed that each hormone increases the maximal response to the other without affecting its ED50. It is proposed that glucagon and the Ca2+-linked hormones control the cellular concentration of two intermediates which are both necessary to allow Ca2+ entry into the cells. 相似文献

The kinetics of calcium movements in the isolated perfused rat liver were examined using compartmental analysis of the efflux profiles of 45Ca2+ from 45Ca(2+)-equilibrated livers under a variety of calcium concentrations and hormonal treatments. From the 45Ca2+ efflux profiles, we determined that a three compartment model was appropriate to describe the movements of calcium in the liver on the time scale of the experiments. Hormonal treatment with the alpha-adrenergic agonist, phenylephrine, or the vasoactive peptide, vasopressin, during the efflux period lowered significantly the rate of transfer of Ca2+ between the internal compartments at all of the calcium concentrations employed. Also, phenylephrine treatment leads to increased transfer of Ca2+ into the liver from the perfusate. The temporal characteristics of the phenylephrine and vasopressin sensitive Ca2+ pools were examined by pulsing livers, loaded for variable periods of time with 45Ca2+, with the two hormones during the efflux of 45Ca2+ to measure the kinetics of Ca2+ exchange in the hormone-sensitive pools. Results from these experiments indicate that the rate of unstimulated Ca2+ efflux, k2, for the phenylephrine and vasopressin sensitive Ca2+ pools, modeled as a one compartment system, are the same, 0.074 and 0.078 min-1 for phenylephrine and vasopressin respectively, corresponding to half times for turnover of the pool(s) of 9.3 and 8.9 min, respectively. 相似文献

The effects of glucagon and vasopressin, singly or together, on cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i) and on the 45Ca2+ efflux were studied in isolated rat liver cells. In the presence of 1 mM external Ca2+, glucagon and vasopressin added singly induced sustained increases in [Ca2+]i. The rate of the initial fast phase of the [Ca2+]i increase and the magnitude of the final plateau were dependent on the concentrations (50 pm-0.1 microM) of glucagon and vasopressin. Preincubating the cells with a low concentration of glucagon (0.1 nM) for 2 min markedly accelerated the fast phase and elevated the plateau of the [Ca2+]i increase caused by vasopressin. In the absence of external free Ca2+, glucagon and vasopressin transiently increased [Ca2+]i and stimulated the 45Ca2+ efflux from the cells, indicating mobilization of Ca2+ from internal store(s). Preincubating the cells with 0.1 nM-glucagon accelerated the rate of the fast phase of the [Ca2+]i rise caused by the subsequent addition of vasopressin. However, unlike what was observed in the presence of 1 mM-Ca2+, glucagon no longer enhanced the maximal [Ca2+]i response to vasopressin. In the absence of external free Ca2+, higher concentrations (1 nM-0.1 microM) of glucagon, which initiated larger increases in [Ca2+]i, drastically decreased the subsequent Ca2+ response to vasopressin (10 nM). At these concentrations, glucagon also decreased the vasopressin-stimulated 45Ca2+ efflux from the cells. It is suggested that, in the liver, glucagon accelerates the fast phase and elevates the plateau of the vasopressin-mediated [Ca2+]i increase respectively by releasing Ca2+ from the same internal store as that permeabilized by vasopressin, probably the endoplasmic reticulum, and potentiating the influx of extracellular Ca2+ caused by this hormone. 相似文献

1. In hepatocytes, epidermal growth factor (EFG) (a) increased the rate of 45Ca2+ exchange in cells incubated at 1.3 mM extracellular Ca2+, (b) increased the activity of glycogen phosphorylase a and the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration (measured with quin2) in a process dependent on the concentration of extracellular Ca2+, and (c) enhanced the increase in glycogen phosphorylase activity which follows the addition of Ca2+ to cells previously incubated in the absence of Ca2+. It is concluded that EGF stimulates plasma-membrane Ca2+ inflow. 2. The effects of the combination of EGF and vasopressin on the rate of 45Ca2+ exchange and on the rate of increase in glycogen phosphorylase activity were the same as those of vasopressin alone. 3. The amount of 45Ca2+ released by EGF from internal stores was about 30% of that released by vasopressin. No detectable increase in [3H]inositol mono-, bis- or tris-phosphate was observed after the addition of EGF to cells labelled with myo-[3H]inositol. 4. In hepatocytes isolated from rats treated with pertussis toxin, the effects of EGF and vasopressin on phosphorylase activity (measured at 1.3 mM-Ca2+) and on the rate of Ca2+ inflow (measured with quin2) were markedly decreased compared with those in normal cells. 5. Treatment with pertussis toxin did not impair the ability of vasopressin to release Ca2+ from internal stores, but decreased vasopressin-stimulated [3H]inositol polyphosphate formation by 50%. 6. It is concluded that the mechanism(s) by which vasopressin and EGF stimulate plasma-membrane Ca2+-inflow transporters in hepatocytes involves a GTP-binding regulatory protein sensitive to pertussis toxin, and does not require an increase in the concentration of inositol trisphosphate comparable with that which induces the release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

The effects of HgCl2 and ouabain on vasopressin release and Ca2+ uptake and distribution was examined in the neurointermediate lobe of the rat pituitary. HgCl2 (0.5 mM) inhibited vasopressin release by approx. 90% in both basal and potassium depolarized states. With 0.1 mM HgCl2 vasopressin release was inhibited by 50% in the depolarized state, but release was not effected in basal state. On the other hand, ouabain (0.5 mM) caused a 3-fold stimulation of vasopressin release in the depolarized state. Both HgCl2 (0.5 mM) and ouabain (0.5 mM) increased net 45Ca+2 uptake by about 80% in groups of neurointermediate lobes. Following 45Ca+2 uptake, HgCl2 (0.5 mM), which is absorbed by the neurointermediate lobe, produced an increase in cytosolic 45Ca+2 content and a decrease in mitochondrial 45Ca+2 content compared to control. In comparison, ouabain (0.5 mM), which does not penetrate the neurointermediate lobe, gave no change in cytosolic 45Ca+2, but an increase in mitochondrial 45Ca+2. These results suggest that HgCl2 inhibits vasopressin release from the neurointermediate lobe of the rat pituitary at a point distal to Ca+2 uptake by the gland. 相似文献

Subcellular calcium and magnesium mobilization in rat liver stimulated in vivo with vasopressin and glucagon 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The total Ca2+ content of the endoplasmic reticulum and the total Ca2+ and Mg2+ content of mitochondria were determined by electron probe microanalysis of rat liver rapidly frozen in vivo following brief (5-15 s) stimulation with vasopressin or prolonged (10-12 min) stimulation with vasopressin + glucagon. Brief vasopressin injection into the anterior mesenteric vein released 1.8 +/- 0.3 (S.D.) mmol of Ca2+/kg dry weight, from the rough endoplasmic reticulum (p less than 0.01), reducing Ca2+ content of the endoplasmic reticulum from 4.4 +/- 0.2 (S.E.) (controls) to 2.6 +/- 0.2 mmol of Ca2+/kg dry weight. Following vasopressin injection, endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ was also significantly (p less than 0.025) lower than that in brief sham injected animals (3.5 +/- 0.2 mmol/kg dry weight). Mitochondrial Ca2+ was between 1.0 and 2.3 (+/-0.2) mmol/kg dry weight of mitochondrion, under all conditions studied, and no significant differences were observed. Both hormonal and brief sham injection into the anterior mesenteric vein increased mitochondrial Mg2+ from 42 (+/-0.8) to 49 (+/-1.8) mmol/kg dry weight (p less than 0.05). Hormonal stimulation of Mg2+ uptake was further confirmed by injection of vasopressin + glucagon into the jugular vein (to avoid any stimulation of the liver by the anterior mesenteric vein injection itself); mitochondrial Mg2+ increased from 43 (+/-0.9) (10-min sham) to 57 (+/-1.3) mmol/kg dry weight, with 10-min vasopressin + glucagon injection (p less than 0.01). These results demonstrate that hormones can release Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum and modulate mitochondrial Mg2+ content in vivo without causing detectable changes in mitochondrial Ca2+. 相似文献

The effects of the Ca2+-mobilizing hormones noradrenaline, vasopressin and angiotensin on the unidirectional influx of Ca2+ were investigated in isolated rat liver cells by measuring the initial rate of 45Ca2+ uptake. The three hormones increased Ca2+ influx, with EC50 values (concentrations giving half-maximal effect) of 0.15 microM, 0.44 nM and 0.8 nM for noradrenaline, vasopressin and angiotensin respectively. The actions of noradrenaline and angiotensin were evident within seconds after their addition to the cells, whereas the increase in Ca2+ influx initiated by vasopressin was slightly delayed (by 5-15s). The activation of Ca2+ influx was maintained as long as the receptor was occupied by the hormone. The measurement of the resting and hormone-stimulated Ca2+ influxes at different external Ca2+ concentrations revealed Michaelis-Menten-type kinetics compatible with a saturable channel model. Noradrenaline, vasopressin and angiotensin increased both Km and Vmax. of Ca2+ influx. It is proposed that the hormones increase the rate of translocation of Ca2+ through a common pool of Ca2+ channels without changing the number of available channels or their affinity for Ca2+. 相似文献

Highly purified platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or recombinant PDGF stimulate DNA synthesis in quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells. The dose-response curves for the natural and recombinant factors were similar, with half-maximal responses at 2-3 ng/ml and maximal responses at approx. 10 ng/ml. Over this dose range, both natural and recombinant PDGF stimulated a pronounced accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates in cells labelled for 72 h with [3H]inositol. In addition, mitogenic concentrations of PDGF stimulated the release of 45Ca2+ from cells prelabelled with the radioisotope. However, in comparison with the response to the peptide mitogens bombesin and vasopressin, a pronounced lag was evident in both the generation of inositol phosphates and the stimulation of 45Ca2+ efflux in response to PDGF. Furthermore, although the bombesin-stimulated efflux of 45Ca2+ was independent of extracellular Ca2+, the PDGF-stimulated efflux was markedly inhibited by chelation of external Ca2+ by using EGTA. Neither the stimulation of formation of inositol phosphates nor the stimulation of 45Ca2+ efflux in response to PDGF were affected by tumour-promoting phorbol esters such as 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). In contrast, TPA inhibited phosphoinositide hydrolysis and 45Ca2+ efflux stimulated by either bombesin or vasopressin. Furthermore, whereas formation of inositol phosphates in response to both vasopressin and bombesin was increased in cells in which protein kinase C had been down-modulated by prolonged exposure to phorbol esters, the response to PDGF was decreased in these cells. These results suggest that, in Swiss 3T3 cells, PDGF receptors are coupled to phosphoinositidase activation by a mechanism that does not exhibit protein kinase C-mediated negative-feedback control and which appears to be fundamentally different from the coupling mechanism utilized by the receptors for bombesin and vasopressin. 相似文献

Ca2+ blood serum level was reduced by 34.5% in rats with hypoparathyroidism (HPT) on the 7th-12th day after the damage of parathyroid glands. Synaptosomes isolated from the brain cortex of rats during this period accumulated in a normal medium more 45Ca2+ than synaptosomes from healthy animals. In potassium depolarization, control and experimental synaptosomes accumulated more 45Ca2+, however in HPT the increment in 45Ca2+ uptake in high potassium medium was less temperature-dependent. In normal medium 3H-GABA uptake and release by synaptosomes from the brain of rats with HPT slightly differed from those in the control. On the contrary, 3H-GABA release induced by synaptosome depolarization was depressed in HPT. It is suggested that nerve terminal excretory function disturbances contribute to increased excitability of the central nervous system in hypoparathyroidism. 相似文献

The mechanism of Ca2+ influx stimulated by arginine vasopressin (AVP) was studied in cultured rat smooth muscle cells. AVP stimulated 45Ca2+ influx even in the presence of nifedipine, a Ca2+ antagonist that inhibits voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel. NaF, a GTP-binding protein activator, mimicked the AVP-stimulated 45Ca2+ influx. The 45Ca2+ influx stimulated by a combination of AVP and NaF was not additive. The affinity of AVP receptor was decreased by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate). Pertussis toxin failed to affect the AVP-stimulated 45Ca2+ influx. AVP did not stimulate cAMP production, but increased inositol trisphosphate generation. Both AVP-stimulated 45Ca2+ influx and inositol trisphosphate generation were inhibited by neomycin, a phospholipase C inhibitor, in a dose-dependent manner, and the patterns of both inhibitions were similar. These results suggest that, in rat smooth muscle cells, AVP-stimulated Ca2+ influx is mediated exclusively through phosphoinositide hydrolysis. 相似文献

Hormonal regulation of phosphatidylinositol breakdown 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Cyclic AMP and Ca2+ are intracellular mediators of hormone action. Catecholamines interact with beta adrenoceptors to activate adenylate cyclase or with alpha 2 adrenoceptors to inhibit adenylate cyclase. Alpha 1 adrenoceptor activation results in elevation of cytosol Ca2+ and an increased breakdown of phosphatidylinositol. In blowfly salivary glands, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) interacts with beta type receptors resulting in adenylate cyclase activation while alpha type receptors are involved in phosphatidylinositol breakdown and elevation of cytosol Ca2+. The link between Ca2+ mobilization and phosphatidylinositol breakdown remains to be established but breakdown of the receptor-regulated pool of phosphatidylinositol is not secondary to the rise in Ca2+. Direct addition of 5-HT to cell-free homogenates of blowfly salivary glands results in activation of phosphatidylinositol breakdown in the absence of Ca2+. In rat liver plasma membrane preparations, vasopressin increases phosphatidylinositol breakdown in the absence of Ca2+ or cytosol if deoxycholate is present. The data do not indicate whether hormone activation increases the availability of substrate to enzymatic hydrolysis or activates phospholipase C. However, they demonstrate that hormones directly accelerate phosphatidylinositol breakdown. 相似文献

In vitro activities of Ca2+-ATPase and 45Ca2+ uptake in microsomes, which were prepared from vitamin D-deficient rat parotid glands, were decreased in parallel by the oral administration of vitamin D3 as compared with those of control animals (r = 0.83). In vivo 45Ca2+ uptake in the parotid glands of vitamin D-deficient rats was also decreased by the oral administration of vitamin D3. 相似文献

45Ca-uptake was measured in monolayers of cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells. Sufficient extracellular 45Ca could be removed by a 90 second cold La3+ was to reveal stimulation of 45Ca-uptake by high K+-depolarization and the vasopressor peptides angiotensin II and vasopressin. The high K+-stimulated 45Ca-influx was blocked by a dihydropyridine-type Ca2+-antagonist while that stimulated by angiotensin II or vasopressin was not. The 45Ca-influx stimulated by high K+-depolarization was additive to that stimulated by angiotensin II. Vasopressin and angiotensin II stimulated 45Ca-fluxes were not additive. It is concluded that vasopressor peptides stimulate Ca2+-entry through receptor operated Ca2+-channels which are distinct from voltage gated Ca2+-channels. 相似文献

We investigated the differential effect of the intracisternal and intraarterial administration of vasopressin on the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in the parietal cortex of dogs. Regional CBF, velocity and blood volume were assayed by laser flowmetry. The intracisternal injection of 1 nmol vasopressin significantly increased the rCBF and velocity, without affecting blood volume. However, the intravertebral arterial injection of 1 nmol vasopressin significantly decreased the rCBF and velocity. This discrepancy can be explained by a difference in the affected vasculature; large blood vessels in the subarachnoid space vs. whole cerebral vascular system. The intracisternal and intraarterial injection of the nitric oxide inhibitor NG-monomethyl-L-arginine reduced the rCBF from the base line, and significantly suppressed the rCBF elevation induced by vasopressin. The effect of vasopressin may be considered as the summation of the increased flow from the dilated large vessels via the release of nitric oxide from the endothelium, and of the decreased flow from the contracted small vessels. 相似文献

The role of extracellular calcium in hormone-induced glycogenolysis was examined in a rat liver perfusion system by manipulating the perfusate calcium concentration and by using calcium antagonistic drugs. When the perfusate contained 1 mM CaCl2, 5 microM phenylephrine, 20 nM vasopressin, and 10 nM angiotensin II caused a persistent increase in glucose output and phosphorylase activity as well as a transient increase in 45Ca efflux from 45Ca preloaded liver. Verapamil hydrochloride (20-100 microM) inhibited the activation of glucose output by these hormones in a dose-dependent manner. This inhibitory effect was also associated with the inhibition of hormone-induced activation of phosphorylase and 45Ca efflux. In the absence of CaCl2 in the perfusate, the glycogenolytic effect of phenylephrine and its inhibition by verapamil were obtained equally as in the presence of CaCl2. However, the effects of vasopressin and angiotensin II were markedly attenuated and were not inhibited any further by verapamil. The substitution of diltiazem hydrochloride for verapamil produced essentially identical results. Cyclic AMP concentrations in the tissue did not change under any of these test conditions. The results indicate that the glycogenolytic effect of alpha-adrenergic agonists depends on intracellular calcium but those of vasopressin and angiotensin II on extracellular calcium, and support the concept that calcium antagonistic drugs inhibit the glycogenolytic effects of calcium-dependent hormones at least by inhibiting the mobilization of calcium ion from cellular pools. 相似文献

Central cardiovascular effects of mammalian neurohypophyseal peptides in conscious rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
To confirm and extend the results of previous studies which demonstrated central cardiovascular effects of vasopressin in anesthetized rats, we determined blood pressure and heart rate changes for 30 minutes after intracerebroventricular injections of arginine vasopressin, arginine vasotocin and oxytocin in conscious rats. As compared to sham injections, significantly greater increases in either systolic or diastolic blood pressure were noted over the 30 minutes which followed the injection of 0.15, 1.0 or 10.0 nM of either vasopressin or vasotocin. In animals given vasopressin, plasma levels of the peptide were determined. There was a substantial increase in plasma vasopressin only after the highest dose. Overall blood pressure responses to doses of oxytocin as high as 100 nM were not significantly different than sham injections. Heart rate following both vasopressin and vasotocin was increased at 0.15 nM, was initially decreased then increased at 1.0 nM and was substantially decreased after the 10.0 nM dose. There was a significant increase in heart rate at the 10.0 nM and 100 nM doses of oxytocin. Dose response curves for systolic blood pressure and heart rate 20 minutes after injection were similar for vasopressin and vasotocin. We conclude that arginine vasopressin has significant central pressor and tachycardic effects in conscious rats, and it is related, at least in part, to the tail structure of the peptide, which is shared with arginine vasotocin. 相似文献

We examined the effects of K+ substitution for Na+ on the response of hepatocytes to vasopressin, and on the hepatocyte plasma-membrane potential. (1) High K+ (114 mM) had no effect on the initial increase in phosphorylase a activity in response to vasopressin, but abolished the ability of the hormone to maintain increased activity beyond 10 min. With increasing concentrations a decrease in the vasopressin response was first observed at 30-50 mM-K+. (2) High K+ (114 mM) had no effect on basal 45Ca2+ influx, but abolished the ability of vasopressin to stimulate influx. This effect was also first observed at a concentration of 30-50 mM-K+. (3) Increasing K+ had little effect on the plasma-membrane potential until a concentration of 40 mM was reached. With further increases in concentration the plasma membrane was progressively depolarized. (4) Replacement of Na+ with N-methyl-D-glucamine+ depolarized the plasma membrane to a much smaller extent than did replacement with K+, and was also much less effective in inhibiting the vasopressin response. (5) The plasma-membrane potential was restored to near the control value by resuspending cells in normal-K+ medium after exposure to high-K+ medium. The effects of vasopressin on phosphorylase activity were also restored. (6) We conclude that the Ca2+ channels responsible for vasopressin-stimulated Ca2+ influx are closed by depolarization of the plasma membrane. 相似文献
