Popis: Amitriptyline is a widely used tricyclic antidepressant, which acts primarily as a serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. This study examined the effect of amitriptyline on Ca2+homeostasis and its related mechanism in MG63 human osteosarcoma cells. Amitriptyline evoked cytosolic-free Ca2+concentrations ([Ca2+]i) rises concentration dependently. Amitriptyline-evoked Ca2+entry was confirmed by Mn2+-induced quench of fura-2 fluorescence. This entry was inhibited by Ca2+entry modulators nifedipine, econazole, SKF96365, the protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate but was not affected by the PKC inhibitor GF109203X. In Ca2+-free medium, treatment with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+pump inhibitor thapsigargin (TG) inhibited amitriptyline-evoked [Ca2+]irises by 95%. Conversely, treatment with amitriptyline abolished TG-evoked [Ca2+]irises. Inhibition of phospholipase C (PLC) with U73122 inhibited amitriptyline-evoked [Ca2+]irises by 70%. Amitriptyline killed cells at 200–500 μM in a concentration-dependent fashion. Chelating cytosolic Ca2+with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane- N, N, N′, N′-tetraacetic acid/AM did not reverse amitriptyline-induced cytotoxicity. Collectively, our data suggest that in MG63 cells, amitriptyline induced [Ca2+]irises by evoking PLC-dependent Ca2+release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca2+entry via PKC-regulated store-operated Ca2+entry. Amitriptyline also induced Ca2+-disassociated cell death.
