The effects of plasma membrane depolarization on cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+]i) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) generation were investigated in the human promyelocytic cell line HL-60 differentiated with either dimethyl sulfoxide or retinoic acid into neutrophil-like cells.

Both Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores and Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane were reduced by prior depolarization of plasma membrane potential regardless of the procedure employed to collapse it.

Abstract
The effects of plasma membrane depolarization on cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+]i) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) generation were investigated in the human promyelocytic cell line HL-60 differentiated with either dimethyl sulfoxide or retinoic acid into neutrophil-like cells. Increases in [Ca2+]i and accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 were triggered by two chemoattractants fMet-Leu-Phe and leukotriene B4. Plasma membrane potential was depolarized by isoosmotic substitution of NaCl with KCl, by the pore-forming ionophore gramicidin D, or by long term treatment with ouabain. Both Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores and Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane were reduced by prior depolarization of plasma membrane potential regardless of the procedure employed to collapse it. Agonist-induced generation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 was also reduced in parallel in pre-depolarized HL-60 cells. The present findings provide further evidence suggesting that plasma membrane potential can be an important modulator of agonist-activated second messenger generation in myelocytic cells.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
