Receptor-mediated regulation of calcium mobilization and cyclic GMP synthesis in neuroblastoma cells.
In neuroblastoma N1E 115 cells, carbachol, histamine and PGE1 elevated cyclic GMP content and, induced the efflux of preloaded 45Ca2+, the release of membrane-bound Ca2+ measured by fluorescent CTC, and the increase in [Ca2+]i as measured by Quin 2 fluorescence. The time course of the responses, the absolute requirement of extracellular Ca2+, the inhibition by receptor blockers, and the concentration dependency on histamine were all similar between these responses. The observation indicates that the mobilization of Ca2+, especially the increase of [Ca2+]i, may be intimately linked to the synthesis of cyclic GMP in the cells.
