Endotoxin impairs agonist-induced calcium mobilization in rat mesangial cells.
We hypothesized that endotoxin would impair agonist-induced calcium (Ca2+) mobilization in rat mesangial cells, owing to the induction of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and augmented nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. We measured basal and bradykinin-induced peak free cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations through microspectrofluorimetry with fura-2 in confluent mesangial cells, and assayed conditioned medium fo...
متن کاملEffect of temperature on bradykinin-induced arachidonate release and calcium mobilization in vascular endothelial cells.
The effect of decreased temperature on Ca(2+)-dependent arachidonic acid release was studied in vascular endothelial cells by investigating bradykinin (BK)-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization, inositol phosphate formation and arachidonic acid release. At both 37 degrees C and 22 degrees C, BK efficiently increased cytosolic Ca2+ concn. ([Ca2+]i). At 22 degrees C, peak [Ca2+]i was higher and returned t...
متن کاملMouse strain selectivity in the endotoxin-induced hypersensitivity to histamine.
We have previously shown that, although bacterial endotoxins can sensitize mice to histamine, this effect is more feeble than, and qualitatively different from, that of the characteristic histamine-sensitizing factor (HSF) of pertussis vaccine (R. E. Pieroni, E. J. Broderick, and L. Levine, J. Bacteriol. 91:2169, 1966). HSF is a heat-sensitive, proteinaceous substance closely associated with, o...
متن کاملEndotoxin-neutralizing protein protects against endotoxin-induced endothelial barrier dysfunction.
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide induces tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin, actin reorganization, and opening of the transendothelial paracellular pathway through which macromoles flux. In this study, lipid A was shown to be the bioactive portion of the lipopolysaccharide molecule responsible for changes in endothelial barrier function. We then studied whether endotoxin-neutralizing protein, a r...
متن کاملMechanically induced calcium mobilization in cultured endothelial cells is dependent on actin and phospholipase.
We sought to evaluate the mechanisms by which mechanical perturbation elevates intracellular calcium in endothelial cells. We report that the transient elevation in intracellular calcium in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) in response to gentle perturbation with the side of a micropipette was not blocked by depolarization (external K+, 130 mmol/L), nifedipine (10 mumol/L), or Bay...
