On the role of intracellular concentration of Ca2+ and H+ in thymocyte death after irradiation.
The role of intracellular Ca2+ and H+ concentrations in radiation-induced interphase death of rat thymocytes has been studied. In response to concanavalin A treatment in the Ca(2+)-containing medium, or to the CaCl2 treatment in the Ca(2+)-free medium, the [Ca2+]i rise in irradiated cells was as in the non-treated cells. No changes in the level of [Ca2+]i and pHi were found within 1 h after irradiation of thymocytes with a dose of 6 Gy. 15 microM 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)-amiloride, an inhibitor of Na+/H+ exchange, did not affect the DNA fragmentation. The fragmentation was prevented by 2-4 microM (1-[bis(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-3-[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)]-2-[(2,4- dichlorophenyl)-methoxy]-ethyl)-1-H-imidazolium chloride, an inhibitor of calmodulin. The above data indicate that triggering of interphase death in irradiated thymocytes is not mediated by changes in either [Ca2+]i or pHi. Such changes seem to be involved in intermediate steps of the interphase death process.
