The role of calcium ions in the mechanism of ACTH stimulation of cortisol synthesis.

Abstract:

:Removal of free calcium ions from the incubation medium of isolated bovine adrenocortical cells with EGTA reduced basal cortisol synthesis and blocked the effects of ACTH; additional calcium restored normal steroid synthesis. Calcium channel blockers, verapamil and nitrendipine and the calmodulin antagonist, trifluoperazine inhibited ACTH-stimulated cortisol synthesis in a dose-dependent manner (IC50s of 6.2, 10 and 5.2 microM, respectively). Steroidogenic effects of dibutyryl cyclic AMP were prevented with 50 microM verapamil or trifluoperazine. Calcium ionophore A23187 at 1 microM increased cortisol synthesis 2-3 fold which was less than the normal response to ACTH. Stimulatory effects of ionophore and cyclic AMP or ACTH were not additive. ACTH-stimulation of cortisol synthesis appears to involve cyclic AMP-dependent uptake of extracellular calcium ions, possibly by a mechanism requiring calmodulin. Increases in intracellular calcium ions cannot wholly mimic ACTH actions.
