title: Mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ and suppression of inward currents in a neuronal hybrid cell line triggered by bradykinin.
abstract: Bradykinin triggered intracellular Ca mobilizations and ionic conductance changes were studied in the neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cell line NG108-15 using Ca-sensitive fluorescent indicator fura-2 under patch pipette whole cell voltage clamp condition. The time course of outward current induced by bradykinin was closely related to the time-course of [Ca2+]i change. Following application of bradykinin, [Ca2+]i increased transiently and then decreased below the basal level before bradykinin application. The inward currents activated by step-depolarization were suppressed after bradykinin application, but the time-course of the suppression did not go in parallel with the [Ca2+]i changes: the suppression started before the [Ca2+]i change emerged and outlasted the phase of [Ca2+]i increase. Both transient type and long-lasting type Ca current were suppressed by bradykinin. [Ca2+]i increase induced by high potassium depolarization was suppressed by bradykinin. Pertussis toxin did not affect the Ca transient nor the suppression of Ca channel induced by bradykinin. Our results suggest that the modifications of ionic channels by bradykinin could be through the other mechanisms than the well established activation of the G-protein leading to the IP3 mechanisms and that the bradykinin receptor might couple with the pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein which regulates the calcium channels.
