Abstract: | AIM:The mechanism of angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) in mediating increase in intracellular free magnesium ([Mg2+]i) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was investigated in this study. METHODS:The change of [Mg2+]i in HUVECs was quantitatively detected in intracellular cation measurement system via loaded with the fluorescent magnesium indicator mag-fura-2. RESULTS:Ang-1 increased [Mg2+]i, and there was not any significant difference among the groups of 0 mmol/L and 1 mmol/L of extracellular Mg2+. Similar results were obtained in groups done with Ca2+. Pretreatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (tyrphostin A23 and genistein), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors (wortmannin and LY294002) blocked the increase in [Mg2+]i induced by Ang-1. However, mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors (SB202190 and PD98059) had no effect on the Ang-1-induced [Mg2+]i increase. CONCLUSION:These results suggest that the increase in [Mg2+]i by Ang-1 come from intracellular Mg2+ pools mediated by tyrosine kinase/PI3K -dependent signaling pathways. |
