CXCL12 stimulates mobilization of intracellular calcium. A, CXCL12 in calcium-free buffer stimulated a dose-dependent increase in intracellular calcium. Treatment with the extracellular calcium chelator EGTA (3 mm) decreased persistent calcium mobilization in cells stimulated with 100 ng/ml CXCL12. B, CXCL12-stimulated calcium release is blocked by the cell-permeant chelator BAPTA-AM. Chemokine-induced calcium mobilization was completely blocked to control (no stim) levels by pretreatment with 10 μm BAPTA-AM. Pretreatment with 3 μm BAPTA-AM partially abrogated calcium mobilization. Values are relative Fluo-4 fluorescence units minus background signal from a representative of three separate experiments.
