Hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)-induced cell damage and Ca2+ influx into bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) were investigated. Our data suggested that H2O2 could dose- and time-dependently induce damage in cultured BAEC assessed by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay and increase malondialdehyde (MDA) production, which reflects the level of lipid peroxidation. Exposure of BAEC to H2O2 (100 mumol.L-1) caused significant increase in intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i) within 6 min, suggesting that the increase of [Ca2+]i might implicate in H2O2-induced cell damage. The calcium inhibitor nifedipine was found to dose-dependently decrease the increase of [Ca2+]i caused by H2O2 and protect BAEC against H2O2-induced damage reflected by significant decrease of MDA production and increase of MTT value. These results indicate that overload of calcium might be responsible to some extent causing oxidative damage to cells.

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.
