- Abstract:
- Using single cell microfluorometry to monitor changes in bulk Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]bulk) and the whole-cell configuration of the patch clamp technique to measure K+ currents (voltage clamp) and membrane potential (current clamp), the mechanisms of histamine-induced Ca2+ oscillations in the umbilical vein endothelial cell-derived cell line EA.hy926 were studied. In single cells, histamine (10 microM) evoked sinusoidal Ca2+ oscillations in low extracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]o = 10-30 microM). In contrast, histamine did not initiate Ca2+ oscillations either in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ (10 microM EGTA) or in the presence of 2.5 mM extracellular Ca2+. Ca2+ oscillations were accompanied by rhythmic activation of Ca2+-activated K+ (KCa) channels and membrane hyperpolarization of 18.1 +/- 3.9 mV. Hence, cell depolarization with 70 mM extracellular K+ or the inhibition of non-selective cation channels (NSCCs) and KCa channels by 10 microM Loe 908 and 10 mM tetrabutylammonium prevented histamine-evoked Ca2+ oscillations. Preventing Na+-Ca2+ exchange (NCX) by 10 microM 2', 4'-dichlorobenzamil, or removal of extracellular Na+, abolished histamine-induced Ca2+ oscillations. Lowering the extracellular Na+ concentration and thus promoting the reversed mode of NCX (3Na+ out and 1Ca2+ in) increased the amplitude and frequency of histamine-induced Ca2+ oscillations by 25 and 13 %, respectively. Hence, in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, 10 microM histamine induced an elevation of intracellular Na+ concentration in certain subplasmalemmal domains. The inhibitor of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) 2,5-di-tert-butyl-1, 4-benzo-hydroquinone (15 microM) prevented histamine-induced Ca2+ oscillations. In addition, blockage of ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ release (RsCR) by 25 microM ryanodine blunted Ca2+ oscillations. In endothelial cells that were treated for 16 h with 10 microM nocodazole to collapse the superficial endoplasmic reticulum (sER), no histamine-induced Ca2+ oscillations were found. We conclude that in low [Ca2+]o conditions histamine-induced Ca2+ oscillations depend on transmembrane Na+ loading through NSCCs that leads to Ca2+ entry via NCX. Cation influx is controlled by KCa channel activity that triggers membrane hyperpolarization and, thus, provides the driving force for cation influx. Hence, the Ca2+ entering needs to be sequestrated via SERCA into sER to become released by RsCR to evoke Ca2+ spiking. These data further support our previous work on localized Ca2+ signalling as a key phenomenon in endothelial Ca2+ homeostasis.
