title: Cyclic AMP regulates the calcium transients released from IP(3)-sensitive stores by activation of rat kappa-opioid receptors expressed in CHO cells.
abstract: We analyzed intracellular Ca(2+)and cAMP levels in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing a cloned rat kappa opioid receptor (CHO-kappa cells). Although expression of kappa(kappa)-opioid receptors was confirmed with a fluorescent dynorphin analog in almost all CHO-kappa cells, the kappa-specific agonists, U50488H or U69593, induced a Ca(2+) transient only in 35% of the cells. The Ca(2+) response occurred in all-or-none fashion and the half-maximal dosage of U50488H (812.1nM) was higher than that (3.2nM) to inhibit forskolin-stimulated cAMP. The kappa-receptors coupled to G(i/o)proteins since pertussis toxin significantly reduced the U50488H actions on intracellular Ca(2+) and cAMP. The Ca(2+) transient originates from IP(3)-sensitive internal stores since the Ca(2+) response was blocked by a PLC inhibitor (U73122) or by thapsigargin depletion of internal stores while removal of extracellular Ca(2+) had no effect. Interestingly, application of dibutyryl cAMP (+ 56.2%) or 8-bromo-cAMP (+ 174.7%) significantly increased the occurrence of U50488H-induced Ca(2+) mobilization while protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitors, Rp-cAMP (-32.3%) or myr-psi PKA (-73.9%) significantly reduced the response. Therefore, it was concluded that cAMP and PKA activity can regulate the Ca(2+) mobilization. These results suggest that the kappa receptor-linked cAMP cascade regulates the occurrence of kappa-opioid-mediated Ca(2+) mobilization.
