Effects of taurolithocholate, a Ca2+-mobilizing agent, on cell Ca2+ in rat hepatocytes, human platelets and neuroblastoma NG108-15 cell line

Abstract: The monohydroxy bile acid taurolithocholate permeabilizes the endoplasmic reticulum to Ca2+ in rat liver cells. To assess whether this action on the endoplasmic reticulum was restricted to this tissue, the effects of bile acid were investigated in two cell types quite unrelated to rat hepatocyte, namely human platelets and the neuronal NG108-15 cell line. The results showed that taurolithocholate (3-100,UM) had no effect on free cytosolic [Ca2+] in human platelets and NG108-15 cells, whereas it increased it f… Show more

“…We have previously shown 14 that BA uptake by ABAT is required for BA to alter cholangiocyte proliferation. Other studies 37,38 have shown that BA signal cellular processes only if BA are internalized in cells. Experimental insertion of ABAT into cells, which normally do not respond to BA, markedly increases BA-signaling.…”

“…Second, the cells continued to respond to TDC in the absence ofbath Ca2 , which would not be likely if a detergentinduced leak pathway for Ca2+ was responsible for the secretory effects ofTDC. Third, bile acid exposure does not cause an increase in (Ca2+)i in some cell types, e.g., platelets or neuroblastoma cells (43), whereas increased (Ca2+)i would be expected in all cells if the effects were nonspecific. Fourth, there was no detectable leak of fura-2 from the cells during the Ca2" measurements.…”

“…Hydrophobic bile acids are classic hepatotoxicants in vivo, causing cholestatic liver injury. Numerous studies have demonstrated that hydrophobic bile acids, including TLC, elevate hepatocyte Ca 2ϩ (72)(73)(74)(91)(92)(93) and calpain activity (20), which play a key role in bile acid hepatotoxicity (20,(72)(73)(74)(91)(92)(93).…”
