One current hypothesis for the initiation of Ca2+ entry into nonelectrically excitable cells proposes that Ca2+ entry is linked to the state of filling of intracellular Ca2+ stores. In the human T lymphocyte cell line Jurkat, stimulation of the antigen receptor leads to release of Ca2+ from internal stores and influx of extracellular Ca2+. Similarly, treatment of Jurkat cells with the tumor promoter thapsigargin induced release of Ca2+ from internal stores and also resulted in influx of extracellular Ca2+. Initiation of Ca2+ entry by thapsigargin was blocked by chelation of Ca2+ released from the internal storage pool. The Ca2+ entry pathway also could be initiated by an increase in the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ after photolysis of the Ca(2+)-cage, nitr-5. Thus, three separate treatments that caused an increase in the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ initiated Ca2+ influx in Jurkat cells. In all cases, Ca(2+)-initiated Ca2+ influx was blocked by treatment with any of three phenothiazines or W-7, suggesting that it is mediated by calmodulin. These data suggest that release of Ca2+ from internal stores is not linked capacitatively to Ca2+ entry but that initiation is linked instead by Ca2+ itself, perhaps via calmodulin.
