When bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells are superfused with a solution containing low calcium (approximately 10 nM) and subsequently exposed to a solution containing normal Ca2+ (2 mM) a large transient increase in intracellular calcium is seen. This elevation in [Ca2+]i is similar to that described as the calcium paradox in cardiac cells. If the cells are exposed to the agonist, ATP, during the period in low-Ca2+ solution the paradoxical rise in [Ca2+]i is increased. Removal of external Na+ from the low-Ca2+ solution reduces the rise in [Ca2+]i on returning to 2mM-Ca2+ solution. These data are consistent with the presence of a calcium paradox in these cells and with the hypothesis that the underlying mechanism involves the loading of the cell with Na+ during the period in low Ca2+. This process may occur as a result of the altered selectivity of the ATP-activated Ca2+ influx mechanism.
