Abstract

This study investigated the role of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in apoptosis in MIN6 cells, an insulin secreting cell line, and in mouse islets. Thapsigargin, an inhibitor of sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases (SERCA), caused a time- and concentration-dependent decrease in the viability of MIN6 cells and an increase in DNA fragmentation and nuclear chromatin staining changes characteristic of apoptosis. Two structurally distinct SERCA inhibitors, cyclopiazonic acid and 2,5-di-[t-butyl]-1,4-hydroquinone also caused apoptosis, but agents that increased [Ca2+]i by other mechanisms did not induce apoptosis in MIN6 cells. Carbachol- or ionomycin-releasible intracellular Ca2+ stores were completely depleted in cells treated by SERCA inhibitors, but not by other agents that increase [Ca2+]i. The ability of thapsigargin to induce cell death was not affected by blocking Ca2+ influx or by clamping [Ca2+]i with a cytosolic Ca2+ buffer suggesting that the process did not depend on changes in [Ca2+]i per se. However, application of the lipoxygenase inhibitors 5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid and nordihydroguaiaretic acid partially prevented MIN6 cell apoptosis, while exposure of cells to the product of lipoxygenase, 12-hy...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
