The impact of nitric oxide on calcium homeostasis in PE/CA-PJ15 cells
Highlights • We investigated the effect of exogenous NO on Ca2+ homeostasis in PE/CA-PJ15 cells. • We found that NO generated a dose-dependent reduction in the cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+ ]c ). • NO depletion using HbO2 as a scavenger, blocked any variation in the ([Ca2+ ]c ) induced by N...

Summary: | Highlights • We investigated the effect of exogenous NO on Ca2+ homeostasis in PE/CA-PJ15 cells. • We found that NO generated a dose-dependent reduction in the cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+ ]c ). • NO depletion using HbO2 as a scavenger, blocked any variation in the ([Ca2+ ]c ) induced by NO. • The inhibition of mitochondrial respiration with FCCP and oligomycin strongly reduced the [Ca2+ ]c decrease induced by NO. • During the mitochondrion energy deficit, the NO effect on ([Ca2+ ]c ) is also reduced in the presence of La3+ and thapsigargin. |
