title: Bradykinin-stimulated calcium mobilization in cultured canine tracheal smooth muscle cells.
abstract: Bradykinin (BDK)-induced increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) were monitored in cultured canine tracheal smooth muscle cells (TSMCs) using a fluorescent Ca2+ indicator, Fura-2. BDK and kallidin caused an initial transient peak followed by a sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner, with half-maximal stimulation (log EC50) obtained at -8.10 M and -8.04 M, respectively. The BDK-induced rise in [Ca2+]i was not affected by the BDK B1 receptor antagonist, des-Arg9[Leu8]-BDK (10 microM). However, the BDK B2 receptor antagonists des-Arg[Hyp3, Thi5,8, D-Phe7]-BDK and Hoe 140 had high affinity in antagonizing BDK with pKB values of 7.5 +/- 0.3 and 8.7 +/- 0.3, respectively. The sustained phase of the rise in [Ca2+]i was dependent on the presence of external Ca2+, as evidenced by a decline to the resting level on addition of EGTA. In the absence of external Ca2+, only an initial transient peak was seen which then declined to the resting level; a sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i could then be evoked by addition of 1.8 mM Ca2+ in the continued presence of BDK. Ca2+ influx was required for the changes in [Ca2+]i, since Ca(2+)-channel blockers, diltiazem, verapamil, and Ni2+, decreased both the initial and sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i in response to BDK. In conclusion, these findings indicate that the initial increase in [Ca2+]i stimulated by BDK acting on BDK B2 receptors is due to the release of Ca2+ from internal stores, followed by the influx of external Ca2+ into the cells. The influx of extracellular Ca2+ partially involves a diltiazem- and verapamil-sensitive Ca2+ channel.
