Cyclopiazonic acid discharges intracellular Ca2+ stores and stimulates Ca2+ influx in cultured human gingival fibroblasts.
The effect of cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) on changes in the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) evoked by bradykinin (BK), histamine (HIST) and thapsigargin (TG) was investigated in human gingival fibroblasts. CPA itself dose-dependently stimulated [Ca2+]i responses in both the absence and presence of extracellular Ca2+. Pretreatment with CPA (< 5 microM) enhanced the [Ca2+]i responses...
متن کاملModified cardiovascular L-type channels in mice lacking the voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel beta3 subunit.
The beta subunits of voltage-dependent calcium channels are known to modify calcium channel currents through pore-forming alpha1 subunits. Of the four beta subunits reported to date, the beta3 subunit is highly expressed in smooth muscle cells and is thought to consist of L-type calcium channels. To determine the role of the beta3 subunit in the voltage-dependent calcium channels of the cardiov...
متن کاملCell cycle-dependent localization of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 immunoreactivity in cultured human gingival fibroblasts.
Localization of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) was investigated in cultured human gingival fibroblasts by immunohistochemistry. TIMP-1 immunostaining was observed in the cytoplasm of a majority of cells, and in the nucleus of some cells. Depletion of fetal calf serum (FCS) from the culture medium reduced the density of immunoreactive TIMP-1 in the nucleus more remarkably ...
متن کاملThe effect of stress and glucocorticoids on modulation of pain in mice: Interaction with activation of voltage dependent Ca2+ channel
Previous studies indicated that stress and glucocorticoids have modulatory effects on acute pain. The aim of present study was to determine the interaction between stress and glucocorticoids with activation of voltage dependent Ca2+ channel on modulation of acute pain in mice. Male albino mice (25-30 g) were used for this experiment. Tail flick and hot plate were used for evaluation of analgesi...
متن کاملAccumulation of ciprofloxacin and minocycline by cultured human gingival fibroblasts.
Through a mechanism that is unclear, systemic fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines can attain higher levels in gingival fluid than in blood. We hypothesized that gingival fibroblasts take up and accumulate these agents, thereby enhancing their redistribution to the gingiva. Using fluorescence to monitor transport activity, we characterized the accumulation of fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines in...
