Molecular Dissection of Ca2+ Efflux in Immortalized Proximal Tubule Cells

Abstract: Plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) and the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger participate in regulating cell function by maintaining proper intracellular Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i). In renal epithelial cells these proteins have been additionally implicated in cellular calcium absorption. The purpose of the present studies was to determine the Ca2+ extrusion mechanisms in cells derived from the proximal tubule. Homology-based RT-PCR was used to amplify PMCA transcripts from RNA isolated from mouse cell lines originating fro… Show more

“…Among the four plasma membrane Ca 2+ ATPase (PMCA) isoforms, the PMCA1 and PMCA4 isoforms are expressed ubiquitously including in kidney1718. We further investigated whether testosterone-induced SMP30 expression has a role in regulating plasma membrane Ca 2+ ATPase expression.…”

“…mRNA was extracted from brain samples or isolated pancreatic acini with a mRNA extraction kit as per the kit instructions. For RT±PCR analysis of PMCA isoforms, two different sets of primers were used, those described by Reisner et al (1997) and by White et al (1997). For RT±PCR analysis of Syts, the following primers were used: Syt I, sense 5¢-GTGCCA-TACTCGGAATTAGGTG-3¢, antisense 5¢-GCTGAAGGACTCATT-GTAGTAGGG-3¢ (393 bp); Syt II, sense 5¢-ACACTGACGAGATCC-ATAGCTATC-3¢, antisense 5¢-GCACATACAGGTGTACACACA-CAC-3¢ (402 bp); Syt III, sense 5¢-GTACCTCTATGGTTCTGACCA-GCTC-3¢, antisense 5¢-GGAGGTAGCAGAGAGAGAAGTTGAG-3¢ (404 bp); Syt IV, sense 5¢-GAGAAGAAGCACAGAGTGAAGACC-3¢, antisense 5¢-GGTACAGGTTCACTTTGACGTAGG-3¢ (397 bp); and bactin, sense 5¢-TGTTACCAACTGGGACGACA-3¢, antisense 5¢-TCT-CAGCTGTGGTGGTGAAG-3¢ (392 bp).…”

“…For example, the sensitivity of the RT-PCR approach may be responsible for the detection in some tissues of alternative splice products of PMCAs 1 and 4 at splice site B (87) and may have led to an overestimate of the diversity of alternative splice options utilized in some cell types (74). The importance of a careful analysis of all RT-PCR products by nucleotide sequencing and the inadequacy of agarose gel electrophoresis and Southern blotting alone to determine alternative splice variants have been pointed out by Zacharias et al (185) and White et al (180). Information concerning the exact cellular distribution of the various splice variants is generally not obtainable by RT-PCR because all tissue structure and cellular identity is destroyed in the process of extracting the RNA.…”
