Calcium store depletion induced by mitochondrial uncoupling in prostatic cells.
The effects of mitochondrial uncoupling on the calcium homeostasis of prostatic cells were investigated using the prostatic cancer cell line LNCaP and indo-1 spectrofluorimetry. Carbonyl cyanide m-chloro-phenylhydrazone (CCCP) was used as uncoupler. Resting LNCaP cells responded to CCCP by a biphasic increase in [Ca2+]i. The first phase of increase which corresponded to the release of a mitochondrial CCCP-sensitive Ca2+ store was followed by a second increase phase consisting of Ca2+ influx through the plasma membrane. The relationship between the CCCP- and the InsP3-sensitive stores was investigated using thapsigargin (TG). The release part of the Ca2+ response to TG was reduced in a time-dependent manner by previous exposure of the cells to CCCP, suggesting that CCCP also acts on non-mitochondrial stores. Our results show that CCCP releases Ca2+ from both mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial stores in prostatic cells. The possible mechanisms of these effects are discussed.
