DA-6034 Induces [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]i Increase in Epithelial Cells

DA-6034 Induces [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]i Increase in Epithelial Cells

DA-6034, a eupatilin derivative of flavonoid, has shown potent effects on the protection of gastric mucosa and induced the increases in fluid and glycoprotein secretion in human and rat corneal and conjunctival cells, suggesting that it might be considered as a drug for the treatment of dry eye. However, whether DA-6034 induces Ca<sup>2+</sup> signaling and its underlying mechanism in epithelial cells are not known. In the present study, we investigated the mechanism for actions of DA-6034 in Ca<sup>2+</sup> signaling pathways of the epithelial cells (conjunctival and corneal cells) from human donor eyes and mouse salivary gland epithelial cells. DA-6034 activated Ca<sup>2+</sup>-activated Cl- channels (CaCCs) and increased intracellular calcium concentrations ([Ca<sup>2+</sup>]i) in primary cultured human conjunctival cells. DA-6034 also increased [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]i in mouse salivary gland cells and human corneal epithelial cells. [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]i increase of DA-6034 was dependent on the Ca<sup>2+</sup> entry from extracellular and Ca<sup>2+</sup> release from internal Ca<sup>2+</sup> stores. Interestingly, these effects of DA-6034 were related to ryanodine receptors (RyRs) but not phospholipase C/inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP<sub>3</sub>) pathway and lysosomal Ca<sup>2+</sup> stores. These results suggest that DA-6034 induces Ca<sup>2+</sup> signaling via extracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup> entry and RyRs-sensitive Ca<sup>2+</sup> release from internal Ca<sup>2+</sup> stores in epithelial cells.
