In the presence of external Ca2+, pretreatment of neutrophils with 3-(5'-hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzyl indazole (YC-1) inhibited the cyclopiazonic acid -induced [Ca2+](i) elevation in a concentration- but not a time-dependent manner, while YC-1 had no effect on the Ca2+ signals in a Ca2+-free medium. YC-1 failed to inhibit ATP- and interleukin-8 (IL-8)-induced [Ca2+](i) changes. Addition of YC-1 after cell activation strongly inhibited the cyclopiazonic acid (CPA)-induced [Ca2+](i) changes. In a classical Ca2+ readdition protocol, a similar extent inhibition of Ca2+ spike by YC-1 introduced either prior to or after cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) stimulation was obtained. In rat neutrophils, mRNA for endothelial differentiation gene (edg)1, edg5, edg6 and edg8, the putative targets for sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), could be detected. However, S1P was found to have little effect on Ca(2+) signals. YC-1 did not inhibit but enhanced the sphingosine-induced [Ca2+](i) changes. Inhibition by YC-1 of cyclopiazonic acid (CPA)-induced [Ca2+](i) changes was not prevented by 7-nitroindazole and N-(3-aminomethyl)benzylacetamidine (1400W), two nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors, by aristolochic acid, a phospholipase A(2) inhibitor, or by suspension in a Na(+)-deprived medium. YC-1 did not affect the mitochondrial membrane potential. Moreover, YC-1 did not alter [Ca2+](i) changes in response to ionomycin after cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) and formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP) stimulation in a Ca2+-free medium. YC-1 had no effect on the basal [Ca2+](i) level, the pharmacologically isolated plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase activity, and Ba2+ entry into cyclopiazonic acid (CPA)-activated cells. YC-1 alone resulted in the accumulation of actin filaments in neutrophils, while significantly reduced the intensity of actin filament staining in the subsequent activation with cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). These results indicate that YC-1 inhibited cyclopiazonic acid (CPA)-activated store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) probably through the direct blockade of channel activation and/or the disruption of the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton necessary for supporting Ca2+ entry pathway in neutrophils.
