title: Dissection of bradykinin-evoked responses by buffering intracellular Ca2+ in neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid NG108-15 cells.
abstract: Signal transduction pathways from bradykinin (BK) receptors were investigated in NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells by buffering the intracellular calcium (Ca2+) with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA), a Ca2+ chelator. BK increased inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1, 4,5)P3) formation at the same rate in the control and in BAPTA-acetoxy methyl ester (AM)-treated NG108-15 cells. However, a transient increase of intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in response to BK was significantly suppressed in Ca(2+)-buffered hybrid cells. Accordingly the BK-induced outward current was inhibited in BAPTA-AM-treated hybrid cells, while the subsequent inward current associated with a fall in membrane conductance was apparently increased. The initial phase of acetylcholine release from NG108-15 cells in response to BK was markedly inhibited in BAPTA-AM-treated coculture dishes when detected as miniature end-plate potentials of myotubes, though the late phase of acetylcholine secretion was observed. These results indicate that BK induces two distinct responses in NG108-15 cells: Ins(1,4,5)P3-dependent intracellular Ca2+ rise-sensitive and -insensitive components.
