Diethylstilbestrol increases intracellular calcium in lens epithelial cells

Abstract: The effects of diethylstilbestrol (DES) on steady-state intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and resting Ca(2+) influx were examined in primary cultures of bovine lens epithelial cells using conventional fluorometric techniques (Fura-2). At low concentrations (10 microM), DES usually induced relatively rapid increases in [Ca(2+)](i) that occurred over an interval of 10-50 s and that persisted for several minutes in the continued presence of the drug. In about 10% of the cells, cyclic oscillations … Show more

“…The loss of calcium homeostatis in the platelets may originate from inhibition of SERCA by TAM. In addition, there is evidence that diethylstilbestrol increases intracellular calcium in lens epithelial cells by inhibiting SERCA [48] and cataracts result from TG1inhibited SERCA upregulation [49,50]. We believe the evidence for off-site binding of SERMs to SERCA and the proposed impact that it has on calcium homeostatis leads to the reported adverse effects.…”
