A patch-clamp study of the Ca2+ mobilization from internal stores in bovine aortic endothelial cells. I. Effects of caffeine on intracellular Ca2+ stores
Abstract
The effects of agents known to interfere with Ca2+ release processes of endoplasmic reticulum were investigated in bradykinin (BK)-stimulated bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAE cells), via the activation of Ca(2+)-activated potassium channels [K(Ca2+) channels]. In cell-attached patch experiments, the external application of caffeine (1 mM) caused a brief activation of K(Ca2+) channels in Ca(2+)-free and Ca(2+)-containing external solutions. The application of BK (10 nM) during cell stimulation by caffeine (1-20 mM) invariably led to a drastic channel activation which was maintained during a recording period longer than that observed in caffeine-free conditions. In addition, the cell exposure to caffeine (20 mM) during the BK stimulation enhanced systematically the channel activation process. Since a rapid inhibition of BK-evoked channel activity was also produced by removing caffeine from the bath medium, it is proposed that the sustained single-channel response recorded in the concomitant presence of both agents was due to their synergic action on internal stores and/or the external Ca2+ entry pathway resulting in an increased [Ca2+]i. In addition, the local anesthetic, procaine, depressed the initial BK-induced K(Ca2+) channel activity and completely blocked the secondary phase of the channel activation process related to the external Ca2+ influx into stimulated cells. In contrast, this blocking effect of procaine was not observed on the initial caffeine-elicited channel activity and could not suppress the external Ca(2+)-dependent phase of this channel activation process. Our results confirm the existence of at least two pharmacologically distinct types of Ca(2+)-release from internal stores in BAE cells: an inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (InsP3)-dependent and a caffeine-induced Ca(2+)-release process.
