We examined whether the increase in endothelial albumin permeability induced by alpha-thrombin is dependent on extracellular Ca2+ influx. Permeability of 125I-albumin across confluent monolayers of cultured bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells was measured before and after the addition of 0.1 microM alpha-thrombin. In the presence of normal extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]o, 1000 microM), alpha-thrombin produced a 175 +/- 10% increase in 125I-albumin permeability. At lower [Ca2+]o (100, 10, 1, or less than 1 microM), alpha-thrombin caused a 140% increase in permeability (P less than 0.005). LaCl3 (1 mM), which competes for Ca2+ entry, blunted 38% of the increase in permeability. Preloading endothelial monolayers with quin2 to buffer cytosolic Ca2+ (Cai2+) produced a dose-dependent inhibition of the increase in 125I-albumin permeability. Preincubation with nifedipine or verapamil was ineffective in reducing the thrombin-induced permeability increase. A 60 mM K+ isosmotic solution did not alter base-line endothelial permeability. alpha-Thrombin increased [Ca2+]i in a dose-dependent manner and the 45Ca2+ influx rate. Extracellular medium containing 60 mM K+ did not increase 45Ca2+ influx, and nifedipine did not block the rise in 45Ca2+ influx caused by alpha-thrombin. Ca2+ flux into endothelial cells induced by alpha-thrombin does not occur through voltage-sensitive channels but may involve receptor-operated channels. In conclusion, the increase in endothelial albumin permeability caused by alpha-thrombin is dependent on Ca2+ influx and intracellular Ca2+ mobilization.
