title: Stimulatory effect of glucose 6-phosphate on the non-mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake in permeabilized hepatocytes and Ca2+ release by inositol trisphosphate.
abstract: The relationships between Ca2+ transport and glucose-6-phosphatase activity, previously studied in isolated liver microsomes, were investigated in permeabilized hepatocytes in the presence of mitochondrial inhibitors. It was found that the addition of glucose 6-phosphate to the cells markedly stimulates the MgATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake. A progressive increase in the stimulation of Ca2+ uptake was seen with increasing amounts of glucose 6-phosphate up to 5 mM concentrations. Vanadate, when added in adequate concentrations (20-40 microM) to the hepatocytes inhibits both the glucose-6-phosphatase activity and the stimulation of Ca2+ uptake by glucose 6-phosphate, while not affecting the MgATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake. The addition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate to permeabilized hepatocytes in which Ca2+ had been accumulated in the presence of MgATP and glucose 6-phosphate, results in a rapid release of Ca2+.
