Abstract:
:Human skin fibroblasts incubated in lipoprotein-deficient medium in the presence of 50-100 microM of the calcium channel blockers verapamil or diltiazem incorporated up to 2.5 times more [35S]methionine into immunoprecipitable LDL receptor protein than did control cells. Verapamil was found to be more potent in this regard than diltiazem. The calcium channel blockers did not influence the overall synthesis of cellular proteins or the half-life of the LDL receptor, and they were not able to prevent the suppression of LDL receptor synthesis caused by exogenous LDL or 25-hydroxycholesterol. The calcium channel blocker-induced stimulation of LDL receptor synthesis was accompanied by a corresponding increase in binding and internalization of [125I]LDL, but the degradation of internalized lipoprotein was slightly decreased. The results suggest that intracellular Ca2+ levels modulate LDL receptor metabolism in human skin fibroblasts.
