title: Tyrosine phosphorylation is involved in Ca(2+)entry in human gingival fibroblasts.
abstract: Bradykinin (1 microM) and histamine (100 microM) evoked an initial transient increase and a subsequent sustained increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in fura-2-loaded human gingival fibroblasts, which may be attributed to Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores and Ca(2+) entry from extracellular sites, respectively. In fibroblasts pretreated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as herbimycin A (1 microM) and tyrphostin 47 (20 microM), the sustained level of [Ca(2+)](i) induced by bradykinin and histamine increased, but not the initial peak level. In the absence of external Ca(2+), bradykinin and histamine induced only the transient increase in [Ca(2+)](i), but a subsequent addition of Ca(2+) to the medium resulted in a sustained increase in [Ca(2+)](i) caused by Ca(2+)entry. Thapsigargin, an inhibitor of Ca(2+)-ATPase in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive Ca(2+) stores, mimicked the effect of bradykinin and histamine. In the fibroblasts pretreated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, the bradykinin-, histamine- and thapsigargin-induced Ca(2+) entry was clearly enhanced, but not the transient [Ca(2+)](i) increase. Tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor benzylphosphonic acid (200 microM) had no effect on Ca(2+)entry or transient [Ca(2+)](i) increase. These results suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation is involved in Ca(2+) entry in human gingival fibroblasts.
