Mechanism of endothelin-1-induced cytosolic Ca(2+) mobility in cultured H9c2 myocardiac ventricular cells.
The effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on the intracellular free Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) mobility in cultured H9c2 myocardiac ventricular cells was studied after loading with fura-2-AM. In Ca(2+)-containing buffer, ET-1 induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise from 10(-7) to 10(-9) M. ET-1 induced [Ca(2+)](i), which was composed of a first small peak and a secondary persistent plateau. In Ca(2+)-free buffer, pretreatment with 10(-7) M ET-1 inhibited the thapsigargin and carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP)-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increase. Meanwhile, pretreatment with thapsigargin and CCCP also inhibited ET-1-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise. In Ca(2+)-containing buffer, the ET(A) receptor antagonist (BQ123) completely abolished the secondary rising peak and plateau. Conversely, the ET(B) receptor antagonist (BQ788) completely inhibited the first small peak and secondary peak plateau. Nifedipine and La(3+) also abolished the 10(-7) M ET-1-induced [Ca(2+)](i) in the first rising peak. The internal Ca(2+) release induced by ET-1 was inhibited by U73122 (phospholipase C inhibitor), propranolol (phospholipase D inhibitor) and aristolochic acid (phospholipase A2 inhibitor). After incubation of 10(-7) M ET-1 in Ca(2+)-free buffer, the addition of 5 mM CaCl(2) increased Ca(2+) influx, implying that release of Ca(2+) from internal stores further induces capacitative Ca(2+) entry. Taken together, these results suggest that both ET(A) and ET(B) receptors are involved in ET-1-induced [Ca(2+)](i) rise in H9c2 myocardiac ventricular cells. Whereas ET(B) receptor seems to mediate the initial Ca(2+) influx via L-type Ca(2+) channel, ET(A) receptor appears to be involved in the subsequent Ca(2+) release from endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria Ca(2+) stores.
