PG - 197-207 AB - The present study demonstrated that endotheline-1 (ET-1) stimulated a biphasic (transient and sustained) increase in [Ca(2+)](i) and signaling was blocked by BQ123 and inhibited by BQ788. RT-PCR analysis revealed that ET(A) was expressed more than ET(B) mRNA-suggesting that ET(A) is the major receptor. Simply reintroducing Ca(2+) in the buffer stimulated a sustained increase in [Ca(2+)](i) and the effect was inhibited by U73122, thapsigargin (TG), miconazole and SKF96365. When measured in Ca(2+)-free buffer, the ET-1-stimulated Ca(2+) transient decreased by 73% and the reintroduction of Ca(2+) induced a large sustained increase in [Ca(2+)](i). These effects were not affected by nifedipine, but were inhibited by miconazole and SKF96365-indicating that the sustained increase in [Ca(2+)](i) mediated by ET-1 was mostly due to capacitative Ca(2+) entry (CCE). The ET-1-induced CCE was inhibited by phorbol ester (PMA) but was enhanced by GF109203X; it was also enhanced by 8-bromo-cyclic AMP (8-Br-cAMP) but was inhibited by H89. Thus, protein kinase C (PKC) negatively regulated and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) positively regulated the ET-1-mediated CCE in these cells.
