Popis: The effects of heparin on intracellular calcium release in monolayers of permeabilised cultured rabbit smooth muscle cells were determined using 45 Ca effluxes. Low molecular weight heparin inhibited inositol 1,4,5- trisphosphate (InsP 3 ) induced Ca 2+ release (IC 50 = 0.8μg/ml), but not guanosine 5′-O-(3-thio triphosphate) (GTPγS) stimulated Ca 2+ release. Only a small inhibition was noted with high molecular weight heparin and de-N-sulphated heparin, although chondroitin sulphate A potently inhibited the InsP 3 response. These results indicate the competitive and specific nature of the heparin effect and give information about the structure of the InsP 3 binding site.
