Popis: Celecoxib has been shown to have antitumor effect in previous studies but the mechanisms are unclear. The effect of celecoxib on cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) and viability in HA59T human hepatoma cells was explored. The Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dye fura-2 was applied to measure [Ca2+]i. Celecoxib at concentrations of 10–50 μM induced a [Ca2+]i rise in a concentration-dependent manner. The response was reduced by 80% by removing Ca2+. Celecoxib induced Mn2+ influx, leading to quenching of fura-2 fluorescence. Celecoxib-evoked Ca2+ entry was suppressed by nifedipine, econazole, SK&F96365, and protein kinase C modulators. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, incubation with the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump inhibitor thapsigargin nearly abolished celecoxib-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Incubation with celecoxib abolished thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]i rise. Inhibition of phospholipase C with U73122 abolished celecoxib-induced [Ca2+]i rise. At 1–50 μM, celecoxib inhibited cell viability by less than 20%, which was not reversed by chelating cytosolic Ca2+ with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N, N, N′, N′-tetraacetic acid/acetoxy methyl (BAPTA/AM). Celecoxib (10–50 μM) also induced apoptosis. In sum, in HA59T hepatoma cells, celecoxib induced a [Ca2+]i rise by evoking phospholipase C-dependent Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca2+ entry via protein kinase C-sensitive store-operated Ca2+ channels. Celecoxib also caused cell death via apoptosis.
