The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between agonist-induced changes in intracellular free CaL+ ([Ca"],) and the refilling of intracellular CaLc stores in Fura 2-loaded thyroid FRTL-5 cells. Stimulating the cells with ATP induced a dose-dependent increase in ([Gal-' 1,).
Receptor-mediated calcium entry was investigated in Fura 2 loaded FRTL-5 cells. The purinergic agonist ATP activated the release of sequestered calcium and the entry of extracellular calcium. Downregulation of protein kinase C (PKC) substantially enhanced the ATP-evoked calcium entry. Pretreatment o
