- Abstract:
- Modulation of store depletion-activated Ca2+ entry by acidosis was investigated in ECV304 endothelial cells. Lowering extracellular pH from 7.4 to 6.9 markedly suppressed Ca2+ entry elicited by direct depletion of Ca2+ stores with thapsigargin (100 nM), but did not significantly affect leak Ca2+ entry. Acidosis diminished thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ entry by 53.7 +/- 7.8% at 2.5 mM extracellular Ca2+. A similar degree of inhibition was observed in cells depolarized by high extracellular K+ (100 mM). Reduction of extracellular pH from 7.4 to 6.9 was associated with a decrease in intracellular pH from 7.23 +/- 0.01 to 7.01 +/- 0.03. Propionate (20 mM) caused a reduction of intracellular pH to 6.97 +/- 0.02, but failed to suppress store depletion-activated Ca2+ entry at 2.5 mM extracellular Ca2+ significantly. Our results suggest that an increase in extracellular proton concentration inhibits store depletion-activated Ca2+ entry through a direct, membrane potential-independent effect on the plasmalemmal Ca2+ channel.
