title: The sarcoplasmic-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase 2b regulates the Ca2+ transients elicited by P2Y2 activation in PC Cl3 thyroid cells.
abstract: In PC Cl3 cells, a continuous, fully differentiated rat thyroid cell line, P2Y(2) purinoceptor activation provoked a transient increase of [Ca(2+)](i), followed by a decreasing sustained phase. The alpha and beta1 protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor Gö6976 decreased the rate of decrement to the basal [Ca(2+)](i) level and increased the peak of Ca(2+) entry of the P2Y(2)-provoked Ca(2+)transients. These effects of Gö 6976 were not caused by an increased permeability of the plasma membrane, since the Mn(2+) and Ba(2+) uptake were not changed by Gö 6976. Similarly, the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger was not implicated, since the rate of decrement to the basal [Ca(2+)](i) level was equally decreased in physiological and Na(+)-free buffers, in the presence of Gö 6976. On the contrary, the activity of the sarcoplasmic-endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)ATPase (SERCA) 2b was profoundly affected by Gö 6976 since the drug was able to completely inhibit the stimulation of the SERCA 2b activity elicited by P2-purinergic agonists. Finally, the PKC activator phorbol myristate acetate had effects opposite to Gö 6976, in that it markedly increased the rate of decrement to the basal [Ca(2+)](i) level after P2Y(2) stimulation and also increased the activity of SERCA 2b. These results suggest that SERCA 2b plays a role in regulating the sustained phase of Ca(2+) transients caused by P2Y(2) stimulation.
