PG - 49-52 AB - The action of Xestospongin C (XeC) on calcium concentration in the cytosol ([Ca2+]i) and within the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ([Ca2+]L) was studied using cultured dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurones. Application of 2.5 microM of XeC triggered a slow [Ca2+]i transient as measured by Fura-2 video-imaging. The kinetics and amplitude of XeC-induced [Ca2+]i response was similar to that triggered by 1 microM thapsigargin (TG). The [Ca2+]L was monitored in cells loaded with low-affinity Ca2+ indicator Mag-Fura-2. The cytosolic portion of Mag-Fura-2 was removed by permeabilisation of the plasmalemma with saponin. Application of XeC to these permeabilised neurones resulted in a slow depletion of the ER Ca2+ store. XeC, however, failed to inhibit inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-induced [Ca2+]L responses. We conclude that XeC is a potent inhibitor of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium ATPase, and it cannot be regarded as a specific inhibitor of InsP3 receptors in cultured DRG neurones.
