Calcium mobilization by muscarinic receptors in human astrocytoma cells: measurements with quin 2.

Abstract:

:Activation of muscarinic cholinergic receptors on 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells leads to Ca2+ mobilization as measured by quin 2 fluorescence. Acetylcholine and methacholine were full and potent agonists, while carbachol and muscarine, were fully efficacious but 6- and 10-fold less potent than acetylcholine. The carbachol-induced Ca2+ response was also observed in absence of extracellular Ca2+ and was blocked by muscarinic receptor antagonists but not by organic Ca2+ channel blockers, tetrodotoxin (TTX), tetraethylammonium (TEA) or metal cations, suggesting that Ca2+ is mobilized from intracellular storage sites rather than through plasma membrane ion channels. Muscarinic receptor-mediated Ca2+ release was also detected in kidney epithelial cells but not in rat fibroblasts, glial cells or differentiated neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells.
