Abstract

In many nonexcitable cells, hormones and neurotransmitters activate Na+ influx and mobilize Ca2+ from intracellular stores. The stores are replenished by Ca2+influx via “store-operated” Ca2+ channels (SOC). The main routes of Na+ entry in these cells are unresolved, and no role for Na+ in signaling has been recognized. We demonstrate that the SOC are a major Na+ entry route in arterial myocytes. Unloading of the Ca2+stores with cyclopiazonic acid (a sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor) and caffeine induces a large external Na+-dependent rise in the cytosolic Na+ concentration. One component of this rise in cytosolic Na+ concentration is likely due to Na+/Ca2+exchange; it depends on elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ and is insensitive to 10 mM Mg2+ and 10 μM La3+. Another component is inhibited by Mg2+ and La3+, blockers of SOC; this component persists in cells preloaded with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane- N, N, N′, N′-tetraacetic acid to buffer Ca2+ transients and prevent Na+/Ca2+exchange-mediated Na+ entry. This Na+ entry apparently is mediated by SOC. The Na+ entry influences Na+ pump activity and Na+/Ca2+exchange and has unexpectedly large effects on cell-wide Ca2+ signaling. The SOC pathway may be a general mechanism by which Na+ participates in signaling in many types of cells.
