Ca Mobilization Induced by Ouabain in Thymocytes Involves Intracellular and Extracellular Ca Pools
Immune dysfunction has been reported in hypertensive rats, and circulating levels of ouabain are increased in some experimental models of hypertension. Ouabain is an inhibitor of the Na /K -ATPase capable of diverse effects on cells of the immune system, but its mode of action on these cells is still unknown. The levels of cytoplasmic calcium ions play an important role in cell signaling, and o...
متن کاملRelationship between light sensitivity and intracellular free Ca concentration in Limulus ventral photoreceptors. A quantitative study using Ca-selective microelectrodes
The possible role of Ca ions in mediating the drop in sensitivity associated with light adaptation in Limulus ventral photoreceptors was assessed by simultaneously measuring the sensitivity to light and the intracellular free Ca concentration (Cai); the latter was measured by using Ca-selective microelectrodes. In dark-adapted photoreceptors, the mean resting Cai was 3.5 +/- 2.5 microM SD (n = ...
متن کاملEffects of bis (tri-n-butyltin) oxide on the eyes of rabbits.
Bis(tri-n-butyltin) oxide and its various commercial preparations are widely used because of their bactericidal, fungicidal, algicidal, and insecticidal properties (Barnes and Stoner, 1958; Barnes and Stoner, 1959; Elsea and Paynter, 1958; van der Kerk and Luijten, 1954). The commercial preparations of TBTO' are used in industry and in agriculture and as disinfectants in hygiene services (Asche...
متن کاملCa Signaling via s1-Receptors: Novel Regulatory Mechanism Affecting Intracellular Ca Concentration
The s1-receptor is a one-transmembrane endoplasmic reticulum protein that binds neurosteroids and dextrorotatory benzomorphans. The roles of s1-receptors in regulating intracellular Ca 21 in NG108 cells were examined in this study. s1-Ligands pregnenolone sulfate, (1)-pentazocine, and 2-(4-morpholino)ethyl-1phenylcyclohexane-1-carboxylate hydrochloride modulate Ca signaling in NG108 cells via t...
متن کاملControl of the Erythrocyte Free Ca Concentration in Essential Hypertension
Since Ca ions seem to directly participate in the control of erythrocyte membrane structure and deformability and because cell Ca metabolism has been repeatedly proposed to be modified in hypertension, the intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca],) was investigated in red blood cells from hypertensive and normotensive subjects. [Ca], was measured by using the fluorescent Ca chelator fura-2...
