PG - 32-40 AB - The effect of staurosporine on the Ca2+ signalling induced by the muscarinic receptor agonist carbachol (CCh) was studied in Fura-2-loaded rat parotid acinar cells. At concentrations > 1 nM, staurosporine dose-dependently enhanced the sustained increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), but did not affect the peak [Ca2+]i seen just after stimulation. The enhancement of the sustained increase in [Ca2+]i was not attenuated by the protein kinase C activator, 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, and not mimicked by another inhibitor of protein kinase C, K-252a, suggesting that the effect of staurosporine on the CCh-induced Ca2+ signalling may be due to a mechanism independent of the inhibitory action on protein kinase C. Staurosporine also enhanced the increases in [Ca2+]i induced by the microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin (TG) and the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin (Iono). When the cells were stimulated by CCh, TG, or Iono in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, a transient increase in [Ca2+]i due to Ca2+ release from intracellular stores was observed. This increase in [Ca2+]i was unaffected by preincubation with staurosporine. However, when Ca2+ was added to the extracellular medium after [Ca2+]i had returned to the resting level, the increase in [Ca2+]i was significantly enhanced by staurosporine. In addition, staurosporine accelerated the Mn2+ influx following the addition of CCh, TG, or Iono. These results suggest that staurosporine modulates the Ca2+ entry system activated by depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores in rat parotid acinar cells.
