TABLE 3.

Ca2+ registrations in SW620 cells pretreated with DHA (70 μM) at time points indicated: SW620 cells stimulated with ATP, 1μM

Pretreatment # Cells Baseline [Ca2+], nM Maximal [Ca2+] Increase, nM Decline of the Response
None (control) 103 123 (± 4.1) 247 (± 10.6) 2.07 (± 0.09)
DHA 24 h 85 141 (± 4.7)a 238 (± 14.1) 1.61 (± 0.07)a
2. EGTA 81 103 (± 3.7)a 259 (± 18.2) 2.51 (± 0.14)a
EGTA, DHA 24 h 73 105 (± 3.8)a,b 227 (± 17.3) 2.11 (± 0.12)a,b

EGTA, ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid. After 30 s of [Ca2+] registration ATP (1μM) (Sigma-Aldrich) or vehicle was added. Maximal [Ca2+] increase is calculated as difference between baseline and peak [Ca2+] in the responding cells. The decline of the response is quantified as the ratio between peak [Ca2+] and [Ca2+] at the end of the registration (180 s). Registrations are depicted in Fig. 4D. The data are presented as means with standard errors (± SEM).

a

Significantly different from control (P < 0.05).

b

Significantly different from DHA 24 h (÷ EGTA) (P < 0.001).
