title: Genistein inhibits calcium release by platelet-derived growth factor but not bradykinin or cadmium in human fibroblasts.
abstract: Cd2+ provokes inositol trisphosphate production and releases stored Ca2+, apparently by binding to a zinc site in the external domain of an orphan receptor. One microM Cd2+ evokes an immediate spike in cytosolic free Ca2+, which is similar to that evoked by bradykinin. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) also increases free Ca2+ in human dermal fibroblasts, but there is a distinct lag before free Ca2+ rises in response to PDGF. Genistein, which selectively inhibits tyrosine kinases, markedly inhibited Ca2+ mobilization evoked by PDGF. Calcium mobilization triggered by cadmium or bradykinin was relatively insensitive to genistein. The PDGF receptor is known to be a tyrosine kinase, which phosphorylates and thereby activates phospholipase C gamma, whereas a G protein couples the bradykinin receptor to another phospholipase C isoform. These findings support the hypothesis that the orphan receptor triggered by cadmium is coupled to phospholipase C via a G protein.
