摘要
The basal levels of cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) are elevated in hemodialysis ((HD) patients, and this abnormality has been implicated in the dysfunction of the PMNL of these patients. The elevated [Ca2+]i appears to be due to PTH-induced entry of calcium into PMNL, an action that may be prevented by calcium channel-blockers. We examined [Ca2+]i and carbohydrate metabolism of PMNL of normal subjects and of HD patients before, after eight to nine weeks of verapamil therapy (120 mg/day), and after eight to ten weeks of discontinuation of verapamil treatment. In HD patients, the basal levels of [Ca2+]i of PMNL are elevated and their glucose uptake, the activity of total and active forms of glycogen synthetase, and glycogen content are reduced compared to values in normal subjects (P < 0.01). These derangements were normalized after verapamil therapy and re-emerged after discontinuation of treatment with verapamil despite no change in blood; levels of PTH. The results indicate that the elevation in [Ca2+]i of PMNL and the consequent derangements in carbohydrate metabolism of these cells are treatable with a calcium channel blocker. The data assign a valuable role for calcium channel blockers for the amelioration of some aspects of cell dysfunction of uremia.
