Isolated neutrophils were used to study the intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) dependency of Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin-induced production of leukotriene B4 and plasma membrane damage. Exposure of neutrophils to leukotoxin caused a rapid and concentration-dependent increase in [Ca2+]i, followed by simultaneous plasma membrane damage and production of leukotriene B4. Removal of extracellular Ca2+, replacement of Ca2+ with other divalent cations, or exposure to high concentration of verapamil, an inhibitor of voltage-dependent calcium channels, inhibited leukotoxin-induced increases in [Ca2+]i, leukotriene B4 production, and membrane damage, thus indicating that influx of extracellular Ca2+ is necessary to produce these leukotoxin-induced neutrophil responses.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
