Abstract

A rise of cytosolic Ca2+ is induced by NGF in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 and bovine chromaffin cells investigated (both in suspension and while attached to polyornithine-coated glass slides) by fluorescence techniques (with quin-2 and fura-2). The effect of NGF on [Ca2+]i is delayed (30-40 s of lag phase), slow (t1/2 = 40 s), relatively small (+50-75%) and persistent (over 10 min). It is due to Ca2+ influx (requires extracellular Ca2+ greater than 10 microM) through a pathway different from the voltage-gated Ca2+ channel, possibly accompanied by intracellular Ca2+ redistribution, and might play a messenger role in NGF action.
