    Notes: Abstract In the present study we have investigated the mechanism of intracellular Ca2+ activity ([Ca2+]i) changes in HT29 cells induced by adenosine triphosphate (ATP), carbachol (CCH), and neurotensin (NT). [Ca2+]i was measured with the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator fura-2 at the single-cell level or in small cell plaques with high time resolution (1–40Hz). ATP and CCH induced not only a dose-dependent [Ca2+]i peak response, but also changes of the plateau phase. The [Ca2+]i plateau was inversely dependent on the ATP concentration, whereas the CCH-induced [Ca2+]i plateau increased at higher CCH concentrations. NT showed (from 10−10 to 10−7 mol/l) in most cases only a [Ca2+]i spike lasting 2–3 min. The [Ca2+]i plateau induced by ATP (10−6 mol/l) and CCH (10−5 mol/l) was abolished by reducing the Ca2+ activity in the bath from 10−3 to 10−4 mol/l (n=7). In Ca2+-free bathing solution the [Ca2+]i peak value for all three agonists was not altered. Using fura-2 quenching by Mn2+ as an indicator of Ca2+ influx the [Ca2+]i peak was always reached before Mn2+ influx started. Every agonist showed this delayed stimulation of the Ca2+ influx with a lag time of 23±1.5 s (n=15) indicating a similar mechanism in each case. Verapamil (10−6–10−4 mol/l) blocked dose dependently both phases (peak and plateau) of the CCH-induced [Ca2+]i increase. Short pre-incubation with verapamil augmented the effect on the [Ca2+]i peak, whereas no further influence on the plateau was observed. Ni2+ (10−3 mol/l) reduced the plateau value by 70%.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of antidiuretic hormone ([Arg]vasopressin, ADH) on intracellular calcium activity [Ca2+]i of isolated perfused rabbit cortical thick ascending limb (cTAL) segments was investigated with the calcium fluorescent dye fura-2. The fluorescence emission ratio at 500–530 nm (R) was monitored as a measure of [Ca2+]i after excitation at 335 nm and 380 nm. In addition the transepithelial potential difference (PD te) and transepithelial resistance (R te) of the tubule were measured simultaneously. After addition of ADH (1–4 nmol/l) to the basolateral side of the cTAL R increased rapidly, but transiently, from 0.84±0.05 to 1.36±0.08 (n = 46). Subsequently, within 7–12 min R fell to control values even in the continued presence of ADH. The increase in R evoked by the ADH application corresponded to a rise of [Ca2+]i from a basal level of 155±23 nmol/l [Ca2+]i up to 429±53 nmol/l [Ca2+]i at the peak of the transient, as estimated by intra- or extracellular calibration procedures. The electrical parameters (PD te and R te) of the tubules were not changed by ADH. The ADH-induced Ca2+ transient was dependent on the presence of Ca2+ on the basolateral side, whereas luminal Ca2+ had no effect. d(CH2)5[Tyr(Me)2]2,Arg8vasopressin, a V1 antagonist (Manning compound, 10 nmol/l), blocked the ADH effect on [Ca2+]i completely (n = 5). The V2 agonist 1-desamino-[d-Arg8]vasopressin (10 nmol/l, n=4), and the cAMP analogues, dibutyryl-cAMP (400 μmol/l, n = 4), 8-(4-chlorophenylthio)-cAMP (100 μmol/l, n = 1) or 8-bromo-cAMP (200 μmol/1, n = 4) had no influence on [Ca2+]i. The ADH-induced [Ca2+]i increase was not sensitive to the calcium-channel blockers nifedipine and verapamil (100 μmol/l, n = 4). We conclude that ADH acts via V1 receptors to increase cytosolic calcium activity transiently in rabbit cortical thick ascending limb segments, possibly by an initial Ca2+ release from intracellular stores and by further Ca2+ influx through Ca2+ channels in the basolateral membrane. These channels are insensitive to L-type Ca2+ channel blockers, e.g. nifedipine and verapamil.

    Notes: Abstract Cell swelling induced by hypotonic solution led to an osmolality-dependent increase in intracellular Ca2+ activity ([Ca2+]i) in HT29 cells. At moderate reductions in osmolality from 290 to 240 or 225 mosmol/l in most cases only a small monophasic increase of [Ca2+]i to a stable plateau of 10–20 nmol/l above resting [Ca2+]i was observed. Lower osmolalities resulted in a triphasic increase of [Ca2+]i to a peak value. In a first phase after the volume change, lasting 20–40 s, [Ca2+]i increased slowly by about 30 nmol/l. Thereafter [Ca2+]i increased more rapidly within 20–30 s to a peak value. This peak was 189±45 nmol/l (190 mosmol/l, n=9) and 243±41 nmol/l (160 mosmol/l, n=20) above resting [Ca2+]i. The peak was then followed by a decline of [Ca2+]i over the next 2–3 min to a stable plateau value of 28±6 (n=6) and 32±11 nmol/l (n=11) above resting [Ca2+]i at 190 and 160 mosmol/l, respectively. The plateau lasted as long as the hypotonic solution was present. Under Ca2+-free bath conditions the peak value for the cell-swelling-induced [Ca2+]i transient was reached significantly later (60–100 s, compared to 40–60 s under control conditions). The peak values under Ca2+-free conditions were not significantly lower. This indicates that the [Ca2+]i peak was mostly of intracellular origin. No [Ca2+]i plateau phase was observed under Ca2+-free bath conditions. With the use of the fura-2-Mn 2+ quenching technique an increased Ca2+ influx induced by hypotonic cell swelling was shown (160 mosmol/l; n=4). This influx started immediately after or simultaneously with the cell swelling and preceded the [Ca2+]i peak for more than 50 s.
