Background and ObjectivesGingival overgrowth caused by phenytoin is proposed to be associated with Ca2+signaling; however, the mechanisms that increase the intracellular Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i) are controversial. The current study aimed to elucidate the mechanism underlying the phenytoin‐induced increase in [Ca2+]iin human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs).MethodsEffects of 100 μM phenytoin on [Ca2+]iin HGFs were examined at the single‐cell level using fluorescence images of fura‐2 captured by an imaging system consisting of an EM‐CCD camera coupled to an inverted fluorescence microscope at room temperature.ResultsExposure of HGFs to 100 μM phenytoin induced a transient increase in [Ca2+]iin the absence of extracellular Ca2+, indicating that the phenytoin‐induced increase in [Ca2+]idoes not require an influx of extracellular Ca2+. In addition, phenytoin increased [Ca2+]iin HGFs depleted of intracellular Ca2+stores by thapsigargin, indicating that neither Ca2+release from stores nor inhibition of Ca2+uptake is involved. Furthermore, the phenytoin‐induced [Ca2+]ielevation was reduced to 18.8% in the absence of extracellular Na+, and [Ca2+]ielevation upon removal of extracellular Na+was reduced to 25.9% in the presence of phenytoin. These results imply that phenytoin increases [Ca2+]iof HGFs by suppressing the Na+/Ca2+exchanger. Suppression of intracellular Ca2+excretion is thought to enhance the Ca2+responses induced by various stimuli. Analysis at the single‐cell level showed that stimulation with 1 μM ATP or 3 μM histamine increased [Ca2+]iin 20–50% of cells, and [Ca2+]iincreased in many unresponsive cells in the presence of phenytoin.ConclusionOur findings demonstrate that phenytoin induced increase in [Ca2+]iby the inhibition of Ca2+efflux in HGFs. It was also found that phenytoin strongly enhanced small Ca2+responses induced by stimulation with a low concentration of ATP or histamine by inhibiting Ca2+efflux. These findings suggest a possibility that phenytoin causes drug‐induced gingival overgrowth by interacting with inflammatory bioactive substances in the gingiva.
