Indirect evidence, using organic calcium channel modulators suggests that calcium channels exist in endothelial cells. Using freshly prepared and cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells, we have studied the effect of calcium channel modulators on Fura-2 fluorescence and have examined the binding of the dihydropyridine, (+)[3H]PN200-110. In both isolated primary and cultured cells, external calcium (0.5-2 mM) and bradykinin (10(-8) M) increased the intracellular calcium concentration. In cultured cells, the increase in calcium was not significantly attenuated by preincubation with nitrendipine (10(-8) M) or d-cis-diltiazem (10(-6) M). The calcium agonists (-)Bay k8644 and (+)202-791 had no effect on intracellular calcium concentration, but other agonists including ATP (10(-4) M) and thrombin (1.5 micrograms/ml) significantly increased the calcium concentration. Competition binding studies with (+)[3H]PN200-110 indicated specific binding of this ligand with a KD of 57 nM and a Bmax of 2.1 pmol/10(6) cells. While these data do not provide convincing evidence for the existence of calcium channels in cultured or fresh bovine aortic endothelial cells, explanations may yet reconcile our observations with the presence of calcium channels in these cells.
