- W2030789035 abstract "Investigations have been undertaken in order to study the possibility that Lanthanum could differently affect the different calcium binding sites. Experiments have been carried out in normal and in K+-depolarized rat uterus. A biphasic action (inhibition of the concentration which wears off at higher doses) is shown by Lanthanum. The suggestion that this dual effect could correspond to a dual site of action (cell membrane and intracellular calcium stores) seems to be confirmed by the enhancement of contraction occurring at high Lanthanum concentrations in depolarized preparations. Finally, the contractions elicited by Lanthanum in Ca-free, K+-depolarized preparations suggest that Lanthanum can penetrate into the cells and bind to the contractile elements, acting as a calcium substitute. The activation of the contractile elements in smooth as well as in skeletal muscles involves the increase of calcium concentration in cytoplasm (Hurwitz, 1971) above 10−7 M (Bianchi, 1969). Activator calcium may come from intracellular storage sites (Carsten, 1969; Peachey et al., 1959), or from extracellular sources; the last process could become more evident when the cell permeability is enhanced, like during the depolarization of the cell membrane (Hurwitz, 1971). A direct proof of the involvement of one or both mechanisms is difficult to obtain, since a small increase in tissue calcium content is needed for maximal activation of contractile elements; to this purpose a new method has been recently proposed. The method is based on the use of Lanthanum, making the assumption that this element, whose affinity for negative groups is higher than that of calcium, can displace calcium from the membrane-located binding sites; because of the apparent ability to limit its action at the level of the membrane, Lanthanum could effectively “lock in” the intracellular calcium and block the calcium movements across the membrane (Marschall, 1973). Since all conclusions drawn by the Lanthanum method are based on the assumption that the activity of this element is limited to a calcium displacement from the cell membrane, further investigations are needed in order to check if Lanthanum can penetrate into the cell and in this case which effect it brings about. In fact, some observations (Goodman et al., 1971) let suggest that Lanthanum could differently affect the different calcium sites or stores. In these experiments, the action of Lanthanum on smooth muscles has been studied in control conditions and after depolarization, i.e. by normal and by enhanced membrane permeability. Rat uterus has been choosen as the target organ since it develops spontaneous contractions which can be used for evaluating the action of an inhibiting agent." @default.
