Kagaya A, Uchitomi Y, Kugaya A, Takebayashi M, Nagaoka I, Muraoka M, Yokota N, Yamawaki S: Differential regulation of intracellular signaling systems by sodium fluoride in rat glioma cells. J Neurochem. 1996 Apr;66(4):1483-8.
We investigated the rapid and slow effects of NaF on intracellular signaling systems such as Ca2+ homeostasis and cyclic GMP (cGMP) generation in rat glioma C6 cells, using the Ca2+-sensitive dye fura-2 and cGMP enzyme immunoassay. We found that the following: (a) NaF enhanced cGMP generation in a concentration-dependent manner. This enhancement was abolished by pretreatment with 100 microM BAPTA tetraacetoxymethal ester or in the presence of W-7 in a concentration-dependent manner. N G-Monomethyl-L-arginine (NMMA), a competitive inhibitor or nitric oxide synthase (NOS), also inhibited the NaF-induced generation of cGMP. These results suggest that NaF-induced cGMP generation occurs via a calcium/calmodulin- and NOS-dependent pathway. (b) The basal intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+] i) was transiently greater at 1 and 3 h after pretreatment with NaF. W-7 and W-13 antagonized the increase in [Ca2+] i, whereas NMMA had little effect. This suggests that the NaF-induced change in basal [Ca2+] was mediated by a calmodulin-dependent pathway but was independent of a NOS-sensitive pathway. (c) The serotonin (5-HT)-induced intracellular mobilization of Ca2+ was reduced by pretreating the cells with NaF. The reduction in Ca2+ mobilization was antagonized by genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. W-7, W-5, and H-8 had no effect. Results suggest that NaF differentially regulated the cGMP generation. basal [Ca2+] i, and 5-HT2A receptor function in C6 glioma cells. |
