description: The intracellular cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca]i) was determined in cultured rat luteal cells using the calcium-chelating dye fura-2 and microspectrofluorimetry. Angiotensin-II (Ang-II) induced a dose-dependent transient increase in [Ca]i (ED50, 9.0 +/- 6.5 nm). After the initial peak in [Ca]i, cytosolic calcium returned to a secondary elevated basal level that was dependent upon the presence of extracellular calcium. Pretreatment of rat luteal cells with Ang-II (100 nm) desensitized a subsequent response to a higher concentration (1 mum), but did not desensitize a prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha)-induced calcium flux. Although the peak increases in [Ca]i induced by Ang-II (1 muM) and PGF2alpha (10 muM) were not significantly different, the plateau phase stimulated by PGF2alpha was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that stimulated by Ang-II (1 muM). Pretreatment of luteal cells with the type 2 Ang-II receptor antagonist PD 123319 (10 mum) did not inhibit calcium mobilization; however, Ang-II (1 mum)-induced calcium mobilization was dose dependently blocked by the type 1 Ang-II receptor antagonist (DuP 753). The ID50 for Losartan was 5.2 +/- 1.8 nm. Pretreatment of the luteal cells with the endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin (1 mum) also blocked Ang-II-induced calcium mobilization. These data demonstrate the presence of the type 1 Ang-II receptor in rat luteal cells, through which Ang-II dose dependently mobilizes calcium from an intracellular source, probably the endoplasmic reticulum.
