Abstract:
:Bradykinin (BK) elicits extracellular-dependent [Ca2+](i) elevations in mouse mesangial cells (MMC) that are not blocked by verapamil, nifedipine, L-nicardipine, NiCl(2), or LaCl(3). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the mechanisms involved in calcium influx induced by BK in MMC. [Ca2+](i) was analyzed through spectrofluorometry employing fura-2-AM, and the data were expressed as [Ca2+](i )obtained/[Ca2+](i )basal ratio. Heparin (IP(3), a receptor antagonist) almost abolished the effects of BK in MMC (1.85 +/- 0.15 vs. 1.13 +/- 0.02, n = 4, p = 0.001). Following external and intracellular calcium store depletion, BK's effect was absent even after successful extracellular calcium replenishment. ML-7 (a myosin light chain kinase inhibitor) blocked responses to thapsigargin (2.62 +/- 0.13 vs. 1.11 +/- 0.04, n = 4, p < 0.001), but not those of BK (6.51 +/- 0.39, n = 6, vs. 5.86 +/- 1.17, n = 4, p = 0.39). On the other hand, genistein (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor) was able to inhibit thapsigargin (3.12 +/- 0.22, n = 5, vs. 1.28 +/- 0.16, n = 4, p < 0.001) as well as BK responses (6.46 +/- 0.66 vs. 2.89 +/- 0.61, n = 4, p < 0.05). Econazole (a P-450 monooxygenase inhibitor) inhibited the responses to both thapsigargin (3.45 +/- 0.16 vs. 1.03 +/- 0.03, n = 4, p < 0.001) and BK (6.49 +/- 0.83, n = 6, vs. 1.17 +/- 0.08, n = 4, p = 0.01). Finally, responses to BK were not affected by indomethacin (6.69 +/- 0.66 vs. 6.57 +/- 0.87, n = 4, p = 0.916). Thus, BK promotes an IP(3)-sensitive store-dependent calcium influx in MMC. This phenomenon seems to involve tyrosine kinase and P-450 monooxygenase products in its transduction pathway.
