Liver cells possess store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCs) with a high selectivity for Ca2+ compared with Na+, and several types of intracellular messenger-activated non-selective cation channels with a lower selectivity for Ca2+ (NSCCs). The main role of SOCs is thought to be in refilling depleted endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores [Cell Calcium 7 (1986) 1]. NSCCs may be involved in refilling intracellular stores but are also thought to have other roles in regulating the cytoplasmic-free Ca2+ and Na+ concentrations. The ability of SOCs to refill the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores in hepatocytes has not previously been compared with that of NSCCs. The aim of the present studies was to compare the ability of SOCs and maitotoxin-activated NSCCs to refill the endoplasmic reticulum in rat hepatocytes. The experiments were performed using fura-2FF and fura-2 to monitor the free Ca2+ concentrations in the endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasmic space, respectively, a Ca2+ add-back protocol, and 2-aminoethyl diphenylborate (2-APB) to inhibit Ca2+ inflow through SOCs. In cells treated with 2,5-di-t-butylhydroquinone (DBHQ) or vasopressin to deplete the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores, then washed to remove DBHQ or vasopressin, the addition of Ca2+ caused a substantial increase in the concentration of Ca2+ in the endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasmic space due to the activation of SOCs. These increases were inhibited 80% by 2-APB, indicating that Ca2+ inflow is predominantly through SOCs. In the presence of 2-APB (to block SOCs), maitotoxin induced a substantial increase in [Ca2+](cyt), but only a modest and slower increase in [Ca2+](er). Under these conditions, Ca2+ inflow is predominantly through maitotoxin-activated NSCCs. It is concluded that SOCs are more effective than maitotoxin-activated NSCCs in refilling the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores. The previously developed concept of a specific role for SOCs in refilling the endoplasmic reticulum is consistent with the results reported here.
