Abstract: | We examined whether localized increases in cytosolic cGMP have distinct regulatory effects on the concentration of cytosolic free Ca(2+) in ECV304 cells. Stimulation of the particulate guanylate cyclase by brain-type natriuretic peptide in fura-2-loaded cells caused a profound potentiation of the ATP-stimulated and thapsigargin-stimulated rise in cytosolic free Ca(2+). This effect is mediated by the inhibition of Ca(2+) extrusion via the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase pump. Furthermore, the addition of brain-type natriuretic peptide caused the partial inhibition of cation influx in ATP-stimulated cells. In contrast, elevation of cytosolic cGMP by activation of the soluble guanylate cyclase induced by the addition of sodium nitroprusside causes an increased reuptake of Ca(2+) into the intracellular stores without affecting cation influx or Ca(2+) efflux. Thus, localized pools of cGMP play distinct regulatory roles in the regulation of Ca(2+) homeostasis within individual cells. We define a new role for natriuretic peptides in the inhibition of Ca(2+) efflux that leads to the potentiation of agonist-evoked increases in cytosolic free Ca(2+). |
