Pretreatment of chromaffin cells with the permeable analogue of cGMP, 8-Br-cGMP (100 microM), leads to a reduction (35%) of depolarization-evoked intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) increases. There is evidence that bovine adrenal chromaffin cells are provided with both dihydropyridine-sensitive and -resistant voltage-sensitive Ca2+ influx pathways. Combined incubations with nifedipine 10 microM and 8-Br-cGMP reduced KCl-evoked intracellular Ca2+ concentration to a greater extent that each compound separately. Moreover, 8-Br-cGMP failed to affect the [Ca2+]i transient induced by the L-type Ca2+ channel agonist Bay K 8644 (1 microM) under conditions of low depolarization. Neomycin (0.2 mM) and omega-AgaToxin-IVA (AgTx) (1 microM) inhibited the calcium transient to a similar extent, and this inhibition was not enhanced by the presence of 8-Br-cGMP. It is concluded that 8-Br-cGMP modulated the dihydropyridine-insensitive Ca2+ influx pathway in the chromaffin cell.

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.
