title: [Effect of arachidonic and other fatty acids on the intracellular calcium concentration and calcium signaling in peritoneal macrophages].
abstract: Effects of arachidonic and other fatty acids on the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in rat peritoneal macrophages was investigated. It has been shown that cis-polyunsaturated arachidonic and linoleic induce a significant and dose-dependent increase in [Ca2+]i, which is due to depletion of thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ store and to stimulation of Ca2+ entry from the extracellular medium. Pharmacological characteristics of Ca2+ entry induced by arachidonic acid appeared to be similar to those of store-dependent Ca2+ entry activated by thapsigargin or cyclopiazonic acid; Ca2+ entry is attenuated by the same Ca2+ channel inhibitors, by tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein and epoxygenase inhibitor proadifen. Cis-monounsaturated oleic and saturated myristic acids appeared to be less effective and induced only a slight increase in [Ca2+]i at much higher concentrations. Arachidonic and other fatty acids can also stimulate Ca(2+)-ATPase in the macrophage plasma membrane. The data are compatible with the important role played by arachidonic and other free fatty acids in the regulation of [Ca2+]i in peritoneal macrophages.
