The expression levels of TRPCl were increased by liposomal transfection, whose effectiveness was evaluated by Western-blotting and single cell reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.RESULTS: Ca^2+ influxes could be elicited by adding 1 mmol/L CaCl2 to the test solution of HL-7702 cells. They were enhanced by addition of 20 μmol/L noradrenalin and inhibited by 100 μmol/L LaCl3 (a non-selective Ca^2+ channel blocker); 5 μmol/L nifedipine did not induce any change. Overexpression of TRPCl caused increased Ca^2+ influx. Five micromoles per liter nifedipine did not inhibit this elevation, whereas 100 μmol/L LaCI3 did.CONCLUSION: In HL-7702 cells, there is a type of TRPCl-dependent Ca^2+ channel, which could be detected v/a NMT and inhibited by La^3+.展开更多
