摘要：

The role of homocysteine for store-operated calcium influx was investigated in human umbilical cord endothelial cell line. Homocysteine significantly decreased thapsigargin-evoked Ca2+ entry, membrane hyperpolarization and actin polymerization. GSH and DTT prevented homocysteine-induced inhibition of thapsigargin-evoked Ca2+ entry, membrane hyperpolarization and actin polymerization; while GSSG had the opposite effect. Homocysteine blocked large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channels in a concentration-dependent manner and related to the redox status of the endothelial cells. BKCa channels opener NS1619 reversed thapsigargin-evoked Ca2+ entry, membrane hyperpolarization and actin polymerization; BKCa channels inhibitor iberiotoxin had the opposite effect. The findings suggest that homocysteine is involved in store-regulated Ca2+ entry through membrane potential-dependent and actin cytoskeleton-dependent mechanisms, redox status of homocysteine and BKCa channels may play a regulatory role in it.
