The mechanism by which calcium-depleted intracellular stores may trigger an external calcium influx through a calcium release-activated channel was investigated by analyzing the effects of several protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors on calcium movements in Jurkat T cells. Tyrphostin A9, an inhibitor of the kinase activity of the platelet- derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor, dramatically impaired the sustained elevation of cytosolic calcium concentration, induced by either CD3 mAbs, thapsigargin, ionomycin at low (10(-7) M) concentration, or passive depletion of intracellular stores; other tested tyrphostins, lavendustin, genistein, and compound 5 lacked significant effect. Tyrphostin A9, added during the plateau phase, was able to return cytosolic calcium to resting concentration. Likewise, it abrogated manganese entry in cells stimulated by CD3 or thapsigargin, measured by the quenching of the fluorescence of Indo-1. However, it did not measurably modify kinetics of intracellular calcium releases monitored in the absence of extracellular calcium, nor did it reverse the inhibition of phosphatidylserine that occurs as a consequence of emptying intracellular stores. Analyses of tyrosine phosphorylations demonstrated that A9 inhibited the phosphorylation of proteins, which occurred every time that internal calcium stores were depleted. These phosphorylations were not impaired by chelation of external Ca2+, nor by La3+ that inhibits calcium release-induced calcium entry. We concluded that their inhibition was not a consequence, but may be a cause, of the blockade of calcium release-activated channel by tyrphostin A9.
