Figure Legend Snippet: Coupling of 5-HT receptors to T-type Ca2+ currents in human cultured adrenocortical cells. (A) Superimposed Ca2+ currents elicited by increasing depolarizing pulses (from −60 mV to −30 mV) from a holding potential of −80 mV (upper panel). Current-voltage relationships of the peak Ca2+ currents (lower panel). (B) Superimposed Ca2+ currents elicited by depolarizing pulses from −80 mV to −50 mV and −40 mV recorded in the absence (control) or presence of 5-HT (10−5 M). (C) Effects of graded concentrations of 5-HT on cortisol secretion by adrenocortical cells cultured in the absence or presence of the T-type Ca2+ channel blockers mibefradil (10−6 M; ■) and NiCl2 (8 × 10−5 M; ●). (D) Effects of the L-type channel blocker nifedipine (10−5 M), N-type channel blocker ω-conotoxin (10−6 M) and P-type channel blocker sFTX-3.3 (10−6 M) on basal and 5-HT-induced cortisol production. BL, Basal level. *, p < 0.05; ***, p < 0.001 versus basal production in the absence of test substance. ###, p < 0.001 versus production in the presence of 5-HT.

Article Snippet: VSCC inhibitors ( Article Title: Bending the MDCK cell primary cilium increases intracellular calcium. Article Snippet: We tested the hypothesis that the primary cilium of renal epithelia is mechanically sensitive and serves as a flow sensor in MDCK cells using differential interference contrast and fluorescence microscopy.. Bending the cilium, either by suction with a micropipette or by increasing the flow rate of perfusate, causes intracellular calcium to substantially increase as indicated by the fluorescent indicator, Fluo-4.. This calcium signal is initiated by Ca-influx through mechanically sensitive channels that probably reside in the cilium or its base. |
