    Abstract:
    Ca(2+) influx triggered by depletion of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) stores [mediated via store-operated Ca(2+) channels (SOCC)] was characterized in enzymatically dissociated porcine airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells. When SR Ca(2+) was depleted by either 5 microM cyclopiazonic acid or 5 mM caffeine in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+), subsequent introduction of extracellular Ca(2+) further elevated [Ca(2+)](i). SOCC was insensitive to 1 microM nifedipine- or KCl-induced changes in membrane potential. However, preexposure of cells to 100 nM-1 mM La(3+) or Ni(2+) inhibited SOCC. Exposure to ACh increased Ca(2+) influx both in the presence and absence of a depleted SR. Inhibition of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP)-induced SR Ca(2+) release by 20 microM xestospongin D inhibited SOCC, whereas ACh-induced IP(3) production by 5 microM U-73122 had no effect. Inhibition of Ca(2+) release through ryanodine receptors (RyR) by 100 microM ryanodine also prevented Ca(2+) influx via SOCC. Qualitatively similar characteristics of SOCC-mediated Ca(2+) influx were observed with cyclopiazonic acid- vs. caffeine-induced SR Ca(2+) depletion. These data demonstrate that a Ni(2+)/La(3+)-sensitive Ca(2+) influx via SOCC in porcine ASM cells involves SR Ca(2+) release through both IP(3) and RyR channels. Additional regulation of Ca(2+) influx by agonist may be related to a receptor-operated, noncapacitative mechanism.
