Disease relevance of maptam

  • To determine whether incubation for several hours with intracellular Ca++ indicators caused toxicity to freshly isolated hepatocytes from rats, cells were incubated under 95% O2-5% CO2 in medium containing 2 mM Ca++ and the acetoxymethyl (AM) esters of Quin 2, Indo 1, Fluo 3, 5,5'-Dimethyl BAPTA, 4,4'-Difluoro BAPTA or Fura 2 for up to 5 hr [1].
 

High impact information on maptam

  • Addition to cells of the intracellular Ca2+ chelator MAPTAM before preincubation with LPS blocked the changes in [Ca2+]i and the enhanced respiratory burst that characterize LPS priming [2].
  • Protein kinase C inhibitor, Ro 31-8220, or a calcium chelator 5,5'-dimethyl-BAPTA shifted the concentration-response curve of convulxin-induced platelet aggregation to the right [3].
  • Modulators of intracellular calcium homeostasis, MAPTAM, and TMB-8 blocked ookinete development as did the calmodulin (CaM) antagonists W-7 and calmidazolium [4].
  • In 5,5'-dimethyl-BAPTA-treated platelets, Y-27632 and HA 1077 completely abolished both ADP-induced platelet shape change and myosin light chain phosphorylation [5].
  • Exposing PMN to the intracellular Ca2+ chelators MAPTAM or BAPTA significantly reduced H2O2 generation in response to the receptor-mediated agonists, FMLP or GM-CSF, but did not affect PMA-stimulated H2O2 generation [6].
 

Biological context of maptam

  • When PMN were loaded with MAPTAM, a cell permeant analog of EGTA that prevented any rise in [Ca2+]i, they showed no FMLP-stimulated phagocytosis but had a normal phagocytic response to PAF and phorbol dibutyrate [7].
 

Anatomical context of maptam

  • In contrast to phospholipase inhibition, intracellular Ca2+ chelation with MAPTAM did not affect monocyte adherence but did inhibit monocyte spreading [8].
  • Depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) by treating 3T3-L1 adipocytes with EDTA and 1,2-bis(2-amino-5-methylphenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetra-acetic acid tetra-acetoxymethyl ester (MAPTAM) did not have a significant effect on ET-1-induced glucose uptake [9].
 

Gene context of maptam

  • Addition of MAPTAM after FMLP priming abolished enhanced ingestion, even in the presence of optimal extracellular Ca2+ [7].
