Free [Ca2 + ]ER responses in bradykinin- and thapsigargin-stimulated cells. Wild-type (K41) and calreticulin-deficient (K42) cells were transiently transfected with YC4ER expression vector. A and B show the time-course of spatially averaged [Ca2+]ER responses in cells stimulated with bradykinin and thapsigargin (BK + TG) or with thapsigargin alone. The responses were measured in Ca2+-free medium. When indicated, ionomycin (1 μM) was added to maximally deplete ER Ca2+ stores. (C) [Ca2+]ER levels measured shortly after stimulation with bradykinin/thapsigargin or after full depletion of stores with thapsigargin. The absolute values were: 80 ± 12 μM (K41) and 114 ± 18 μM (K42) for BK + TG, and 44 ± 5 μM (K41) 53 ± 7 μM (K42) for depletion with TG. BK, bradykinin; TG, thapsigargin; iono, ionomycin. Data are mean ± SE. n, number of experiments.
