title: The role of P(i) in glycolytic inhibition of calcium ion uptake by ELD ascites tumor cells.
abstract: In contrast to previous investigations at 25 degrees C, glucose was shown to support 45Ca2+ uptake at 37 degrees C in intact ELD ascites tumor cells. Intact ascites tumor cells in vitro accumulated up to 5.0 micromol of 45Ca2+ per g cells dry wt. within 20 min. In the presence of 10.0 mM glucose, intracellular P(i) levels fell from 40.0 micromol x g(-1) cells dry wt. to 20.0 micromol x g(-1) cells dry wt. in 5 min. Intracellular P(i) levels were maintained by 20.0 mM extracellular Tris-P(i). 45Ca2+ uptake was inhibited in P(i)-depleted cells, even though the metabolic rate (as measured by Q(lactate)) and energy state (as measured by ATP levels) were at acceptable levels. Evidence has been presented suggesting that previous reports of glucose inhibition of calcium uptake can be attributed to a competition for available intracellular P(i) between glycolytic processes and the mitochondrial calcium uptake mechanism.
