Haloperidol, a Sigma-1 Receptor Antagonist, Inhibits Ca2+ Responses in Rat Peritoneal Macrophages
Sigma-1 receptors are ubiquitous multifunctional ligand-regulated molecular chaperons in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, having a unique history, structure and pharmacological profile. Sigma-1 receptors modulate a wide range of cellular processes in normal and pathological conditions, inc...

Summary: | Sigma-1 receptors are ubiquitous multifunctional ligand-regulated molecular chaperons in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, having a unique history, structure and pharmacological profile. Sigma-1 receptors modulate a wide range of cellular processes in normal and pathological conditions, inclu-ding Ca

signaling processes. Using the Fura-2AM fluorescent Ca
2+
probe, we have shown that sigma-1 receptor antagonist neuroleptic haloperidol significantly suppressed the mobilization of Ca
2+
from intracellular Ca
2+
stores and the subsequent store-dependent Ca
2+
entry into cells caused by endoplasmic Ca
2+
-ATPase inhibitors thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid, as well as immunomodulators glutoxim and molixan in rat peritoneal macrophages. The results indicated the participation of sigma-1 receptors in the complex signaling cascade caused by glutoxim or molixan and leading to an increase in intracellular Ca
2+
concentration in macrophages, as well as the involvement of sigma-1 receptors in the regulation of store-dependent Ca
2+
entry in macrophages. |
