Abstract：
:We studied the effect of KAR-2 on cytosolic Ca(2+) level in human neutrophils by using a fluorescent dye (Fura-2) trapped in the cells. KAR-2 is a semisynthetic bis-indole derivative that shares vinblastine anti-microtubular properties, but does not share the vinblastine antagonistic effect on calmodulin. Therefore KAR-2 offers a convenient mean of studying the effect of microtubule destabilization, without concomitant calmodulin alterations. We found that KAR-2 induces Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores, whereby the stores are depleted. In addition KAR-2 reduces store-operated entry of extracellular Ca(2+) induced by agonists such as thapsigargin or ATP. On the other hand, in Ca(2+) refilled cells, KAR-2 promotes limited entry of extracellular Ca(2+) in the absence of agonist, but still interferes prominently with Ca(2+) entry triggered by ATP and with Ca(2+) uptake by intracellular stores. We suggest that Ca(2+) traffic through the plasma membrane is operated by two diverse pathways: the prominent pathway is interfered with by microtubule destabilization, while an alternate and minor pathway is actually favored (or uncovered) following microtubule destabilization.
