The effect of nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), a compound commonly used as a lipoxygenases inhibitor, on intracellular free Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+](i)) in PC3 human prostate cancer cells was investigated. [Ca2+](i) was measured by using the Ca2+-sensitive dye fura-2. NDGA increased [Ca2+](i) in a concentration-dependent manner with an EC50 of 30 muM. The Ca2+ signal comprised a gradual and sustained increase. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ partly decreased the NDGA-induced [Ca2+](i) increase, suggesting that the Ca2+ signal was due to both extracellular Ca2+ influx and intracellular Ca2+ release. NDGA-induced Ca2+ influx was independently confirmed by measuring NDGA-induced Mn2+-coupled quench of fura-2 fluorescence. The NDGA-induced Ca2+ influx was not affected by L-type Ca2+ channel blockers. In Ca2+-free medium, the NDGA-induced [Ca2+](i) increase was abolished by pretreatment with 1 muM thapsigargin (an endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)pump inhibitor), and conversely, pretreatment with NDGA abolished thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+](i) increase. NDGA-induced intracellular Ca2+ release was not altered by inhibition of phospholipase C. Overnight treatment with 20-50 muM NDGA inhibited cell proliferation rate in a concentration-dependent manner. Several other lipoxygenases inhibitors did not alter [Ca2+](i). Collectively, this study shows that in prostate cells, NDGA induced a [Ca2+](i) increase via releasing stored Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum in a manner independent of phospholipase C activity, and by causing Ca2+ influx. NDGA also caused cytotoxicity at higher concentrations. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier Inc.
