Abstract

Ca2+ channel antagonist drugs inhibit voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in many different cell types. Inhibition of Ca2+ channels in smooth muscle and cardiac muscle cells by these drugs is valuable in the therapy of a wide range of cardiovascular disorders including hypertension, atrial arrhythmia and angina pectoris. Additional uses under evaluation are protection against ischemic damage during myocardial infarction and stroke and in a wide range of other conditions. Further understanding of the sites and mechanisms of action of Ca2+ channel antagonists, as described in this review by Bill Catterall and Jörg Striessnig, will provide new insight into the design of novel therapeutic agents acting on Ca2+ channels and provide further understanding of Ca2+ channel structure and function.

      Note that the complexation of 7d with CaM is attributed to its cationic peptide portion, because the Ir complex 8 without the cationic peptide part had a negligible affinity for CaM and the peptide alone 14b binds weakly to CaM. It is described that programed cell death can be classified into apoptosis, necroptosis, paraptosis, autophagic cell death, and so on [26–51]. In our previous study, we reported that cell death induced by 3a (with a peptide at the 5′-position) was not inhibited by a broad caspase inhibitor, Z-VAD-fmk [18], while inhibition was observed in the presence some inhibitors related to Ca2+ homeostasis including 3-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP, an uncoupling reagent and an inhibitor of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake) [44,45], verapamil (an L-type voltage-operated Ca2+ channel blocker) [46–48], quinidine (a Na+ and K+ channel blocker) [49,50] and xestospongin C (a selective inhibitor of the IP3 receptor on the ER which releases Ca2+ into the cytosol) [51,52].

      Co-incubation of cells with both Bay K8644 and nicardipine reduced the number of DCF-DA positive cells compared to Bay K8644 alone, with a significant reduction in DCF-DA positive cells achieved at 10 nM nicardipine (Fig. 1 B). Previous studies have demonstrated that the serum, or the IgG fraction, from patients with T1D contains a functional Ab that acts as an agonist at the DHP binding site of L-Type VGCCs, and disrupts channel-mediated physiological responses in live tissue or cell-based assays (Catterall and Striessnig, 1992; Jackson et al., 2004; Jackson and Gordon, 2010). Recent reports indicate that these anti-VGCC Abs are capable of mediating over-activity of VGCCs in cultured pancreatic β cell lines, resulting in altered ion exchange and induction of apoptosis (Chang et al., 2004; Bason et al., 2013; Yang et al., 2015).
