Calcium stores from cultured skeletal muscle cells were depleted using cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), a reversible inhibitor of Ca2+-ATPases at the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Store depletion led to activation of the calcium-specific leak channel, as assayed using single-channel patch clamp analysis and rates of manganese influx and quenching of fura-2 fluorescence. Two novel dihydropyridine compounds inhibited this single-channel leak channel activity, the resting and depletion-induced manganese influx, and refilling of the CPA-depleted intracellular calcium store. These compounds represent the first antagonists for a calcium leak channel and for a channel that mediates a capacitative current. The development of the skeletal muscle capacitative current was inhibited by genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, but was not affected by okadaic acid, a phosphatase inhibitor, or econazole. Thus, the capacitative current in cultured skeletal muscle cells was mediated by the calcium leak channel and was inhibited by pharmacological antagonists and may provide a model system for uncovering the complete set of signals leading from store depletion to channel activation.
