Differential effects of Dex on neurotransmitter inputs and inflammatory mediator-induced intracellular calcium signaling in mouse SMG cells. (A) Changes in [Ca2+]i induced by 100 μM isoproterenol without (closed circle) and with pre-treatment with 100 ng/ml Dex (open square). All of the traces were averaged. (B) Changes in [Ca2+]i induced by 10 μM carbachol without (closed circle) and with pre-treatment with 100 ng/ml Dex (open square). All of the traces were averaged. (C) Changes in [Ca2+]i induced by 100 nM histamine without (closed circle) and with pre-treatment with 100 ng/ml Dex (closed square). All of the traces were averaged. (D) Changes in [Ca2+]i induced by 20 μg/ml LPS in ducts and in acini without (gray line for ducts and light gray line for acini) and with (black line) pre-treatment with 100 ng/ml Dex. A single trace is shown. Arrows indicate when stimuli were applied to the cells.
