Novel effects of clotrimazole on Ca2+ signaling in Madin Darby canine kidney cells.

Abstract:

:The effect of clotrimazole on Ca2+ signaling in Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was investigated by using fura-2 as a Ca2+ indicator. Clotrimazole (1-30 microM) induced a concentration-dependent [Ca2+]i increase. The [Ca2+]i increase comprised an initial rise and a slow decay. External Ca2+ removal partly inhibited the Ca2+ signals by reducing both the initial rise and the decay phase, indicating that clotrimazole triggered both Ca2+ influx and Ca2+ release. Pretreatment with 30 microM clotrimazole in Ca2+-free medium abolished the Ca2+ release induced by thapsigargin (1 microM), an endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor, and conversely, pretreatment with thapsigargin prevented clotrimazole from releasing more Ca2+. This suggests that the thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ store is the source of clotrimazole-induced Ca2+ release. Clotrimazole (10 microM) triggered Mn2+ quench of fura-2 fluorescence which was partly inhibited by 1 mM La3+. Addition of 3 mM Ca2+ induced a [Ca2+]i increase after preincubation with 10 microM clotrimazole in Ca2+-free medium, indicating that clotrimazole activated capacitative Ca2+ entry. However, 10 and 30 microM clotrimazole inhibited 1 microM thapsigargin-induced capacitative Ca2+ entry by 21% and 74%, respectively. Pretreatment with 40 microM aristolochic acid to inhibit phospholipase A2 reduced 30 microM clotrimazole-induced Ca2+ release by 51%, but inhibiting phospholipase C with 2 microM U73122 had little effect. This implies that clotrimazole induces Ca2+ release in an IP3-independent manner, which could be modulated by phospholipase A2-coupled events.
