Sodium and ionic strength sensing by the calcium receptor Quinn SJ; Kifor O; Trivedi S; Diaz R; Vassilev P; Brown EJ Biol Chem 1998[Jul]; 273 (31): 19579-86The calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is activated by small changes in extracellular calcium [Ca2+]o) in the physiological range, allowing the parathyroid gland to regulate serum [Ca2+]o; however, the CaR is also distributed in a number of other tissues where it may sense other endogenous agonists and modulators. CaR agonists are polycationic molecules, and charged residues in the extracellular domain of the CaR appear critical for receptor activation through electrostatic interactions, suggesting that ionic strength could modulate CaR activation by polycationic agonists. Changes in the concentration of external NaCl potently altered the activation of the CaR by external Ca2+ and spermine. Ionic strength had an inverse effect on the sensitivity of CaR to its agonists, with lowering of ionic strength rendering the receptor more sensitive to activation by [Ca2+]o and raising of ionic strength producing the converse effect. Effects of osmolality could not account for the modulation seen with changes in NaCl. Other salts, which differed in the cationic or anionic species, showed shifts in the activation of the CaR by [Ca2+]o similar to that elicited by NaCl. Parathyroid cells were potently modulated by ionic strength, with addition of 40 mM NaCl shifting the EC50 for [Ca2+]o inhibition of parathyroid hormone by at least 0.5 mM. Several CaR-expressing tissues, including regions of the brain such as the subfornical organ and hypothalamus, could potentially use the CaR as a sensor for ionic strength and NaCl.
