Bovine growth hormone induces oscillations in cytosolic free Ca2+ in single rat hepatocytes.


ABSTRACT: Single rat hepatocytes microinjected with the photoprotein aequorin generate oscillations in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) when stimulated with agonists acting through the phosphoinositide signalling pathway. We show here that, in single rat hepatocytes, bovine growth hormone (bGH) is able to induce [Ca2+]i oscillations which display similarities with oscillations induced by phenylephrine. Thus the rate of rise of intracellular Ca2+ in each oscillation closely resembles that induced by Ins(1,4,5)P3-mediated agonists. However, the duration of bGH-induced oscillations increases with agonist concentration, in contrast to phenylephrine-induced oscillations, which undergo an increase in frequency as the agonist concentration is raised, without any increase in the duration of individual oscillations.
