title: Inhibition of cAMP accumulation by intracellular calcium mobilization in C6-2B cells stably transfected with substance K receptor cDNA.
abstract: C6-2B rat glioma cells were stably transfected with substance K receptor cDNA and used to study interactions between cAMP and Ca2+ signaling pathways. Activation of the newly expressed receptors by substance K increased the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration, as monitored by single-cell fura-2 imaging, and markedly inhibited agonist-stimulated cAMP accumulation. Blockade of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization abolished the substance K receptor-mediated inhibition of isoproterenol-induced cAMP production. Phosphodiesterase inhibitors, down-regulation or inhibition of protein kinase C, and pertussis toxin failed to prevent substance K-induced inhibition of agonist-stimulated cAMP accumulation. An increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration caused by either calcium ionophores or activation of endogenous bradykinin receptors was found to markedly reduce cAMP production in wild-type cells. These results demonstrate that elevated intracellular Ca2+ concentration can negatively modulate agonist-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in C6-2B glioma cells.
