Changes in cytosolic calcium in undifferentiated HL-60 cells transfected with either the FPR or the lipoxin A4receptor (LXA4R/FPRL1).
Undifferentiated HL-60 cells expressing either FPR or LXA4R/FPRL1 were loaded with 2 μmol Fura-2 and analyzed with respect to the rise in intracellular [Ca++] mediated by the application of peptides. (A) FPR-expressing HL-60 cells have a resting value [Ca++]i around 75 nmol/L. A concentration of [Ca++]i around 150 nmol/L was reached 15 to 20 seconds after addition of fMLFK (final concentration, 10−7 mol/L; open circles) or WKYMVm (final concentration, 10−7 mol/L; closed circles).Inset: The [Ca++]i increase (peak value in percent of maximal value) induced by different concentrations of fMLFK (open circles) and WKYMVm (closed circles), respectively. (B) HL-60 cells expressing LXA4R/FPRL1 have a resting [Ca++]i around 75 nmol/L. A concentration of [Ca++]i around 300 nmol/L was reached 15 to 20 seconds after addition of fMLFK (final concentration, 10−6 mol/L; open circles) or WKYMVm (final concentration, 10−9 mol/L; closed circles).Inset: The [Ca++]i increase (peak value in percent of maximal value) induced by different concentrations of fMLFK (open circles) and WKYMVm (closed circles), respectively. For both figures, abscissa, time of study; ordinate, concentration of [Ca++]i.
