title: Neomycin inhibits histamine and thapsigargin mediated Ca2+ entry in DDT1 MF-2 cells independent of phospholipase C activation.
abstract: The histamine H1 receptor mediated increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) was measured in the presence of the known phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, neomycin. Neomycin (1 mM) inhibited the histamine (100 microM) induced rise in [Ca2+]i to the same extent as observed after blocking Ca2+ entry with LaCl3. Likewise, the increase in [Ca2+]i after re-addition of CaCl2 (2 mM) to extracellular Ca2+ deprived and histamine pretreated cells was strongly reduced by neomycin. However, neomycin did not inhibit the histamine induced formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) or the release of Ca2+ from internal stores. These results show that neomycin blocks histamine induced Ca2+ entry independent of phospholipase C activation. Inhibition of intracellular store Ca(2+)-ATPase by thapsigargin (1 microM), elicited an increase in [Ca2+]i due to a leakage from the stores, subsequently followed by store-dependent Ca2+ entry. Thapsigargin induced Ca2+ entry was also completely blocked by neomycin. These results indicate that neomycin inhibits histamine and thapsigargin induced Ca2+ entry. This inhibition is most likely exerted at the level of plasma membrane Ca2+ channels.
