Abstract: | The intracellular concentration of calcium (Ca2+]i) of rat submandibular ductal cells was measured with the intracellular fluorescent dye Fura-2. Carbachol (100 μM) and ATP (1 mM) both increased the Ca2+]j. The late response to ATP was blocked by 0.5 mM Ni2+. This concentration of Ni2+ also blocked the increase of the Ca2+]i and the uptake of manganese and calcium in response to 2′- and 3′-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl) adenosine 5′-triphosphate (BzATP, 100 μM), a specific agonist of P2X receptors from salivary glands. The increase of the Ca2+]i in response to 2-methylthioadenosine 5′-triphosphate (2-McSATP, 100 μM) a specific P2Y agonist in salivary glands or to a muscarinic agonist (carbachol) was not affected by 0.5 mM Ni2+. Only higher concentrations of Ni2+ (in the millimolar range) inhibited the uptake of extracellular calcium in response to carbachol. SK&F 96365, a blocker of store-operated calcium channels, inhibited the uptake of extracellular calcium in response to carbachol without affecting the response to BzATP. It is concluded that at low concentrations (below 0.5 mM), Ni2+ inhibits the non-specific cation channel coupled to P2X receptors. The uptake of extracellular calcium by store-operated calcium channels is inhibited by higher concentrations of Ni2+ and by SK&F96365. |
