WS® 1442 has been proven as an effective and safe therapeutical to treat mild forms of congestive heart failure. Beyond this action, we have recently shown that WS® 1442 protects against thrombin-induced vascular barrier dysfunction and the subsequent edema formation by affecting endothelial calcium signaling. The aim of the study was to analyze the influence of WS® 1442 on intracellular calcium concentrations [Ca2+]iin the human endothelium and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Using ratiometric calcium measurements and a FRET sensor, we found that WS® 1442 concentration-dependently increased basal [Ca2+]iby depletion of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and inhibited a subsequent histamine-triggered rise of [Ca2+]i. Interestingly, the augmented [Ca2+]idid neither trigger an activation of the contractile machinery nor led to a barrier breakdown (macromolecular permeability). It also did not impair endothelial cell viability. As assessed by patch clamp recordings, WS® 1442 did only slightly affect endothelial Na+/K+-ATPase, but increased [Ca2+]iby inhibiting the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ATPase (SERCA) and by activating the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) pathway. Most importantly, WS® 1442 did not induce store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), but even irreversibly prevented histamine-induced SOCE. Taken together, WS® 1442 prevented the deleterious hyperpermeability-associated rise of [Ca2+]iby a preceding, non-toxic release of Ca2+from the ER. WS® 1442 interfered with SERCA and the IP3pathway without inducing SOCE. The elucidation of this intriguing mechanism helps to understand the complex pharmacology of the cardiovascular drug WS® 1442.
