PG - 125-134 LID - 10.1177/0960327117693070 [doi] AB - Amitriptyline is a widely used tricyclic antidepressant, which acts primarily as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. This study examined the effect of amitriptyline on Ca(2+) homeostasis and its related mechanism in MG63 human osteosarcoma cells. Amitriptyline evoked cytosolic-free Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](i)) rises concentration dependently. Amitriptyline-evoked Ca(2+) entry was confirmed by Mn(2+)-induced quench of fura-2 fluorescence. This entry was inhibited by Ca(2+) entry modulators nifedipine, econazole, SKF96365, the protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate but was not affected by the PKC inhibitor GF109203X. In Ca(2+)-free medium, treatment with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) pump inhibitor thapsigargin (TG) inhibited amitriptyline-evoked [Ca(2+)](i) rises by 95%. Conversely, treatment with amitriptyline abolished TG-evoked [Ca(2+)](i) rises. Inhibition of phospholipase C (PLC) with U73122 inhibited amitriptyline-evoked [Ca(2+)](i) rises by 70%. Amitriptyline killed cells at 200-500 muM in a concentration-dependent fashion. Chelating cytosolic Ca(2+) with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane- N, N, N', N'-tetraacetic acid/AM did not reverse amitriptyline-induced cytotoxicity. Collectively, our data suggest that in MG63 cells, amitriptyline induced [Ca(2+)](i) rises by evoking PLC-dependent Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca(2+) entry via PKC-regulated store-operated Ca(2+) entry. Amitriptyline also induced Ca(2+)-disassociated cell death. FAU - Lu, T AU - Lu T AD - 1 Department of Psychiatry, Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
