The rat basophilic cell line RBL-1 is known to express high levels of the Ca current activated by store depletion, known as Ca release-activated Ca current (I), the main Ca influx pathway so far identified in nonexcitable cells. We show here that, as reported in other cell types, metabolic drugs strongly inhibit the Ca influx operated by store depletion in RBL-1 cells also. We have tested the hypothesis that intracellular adenine and/or guanine nucleotide levels act as coupling factors between I and cell metabolism. Using the whole cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique, we demonstrate that addition of ADP to the intracellular solution significantly reduces I induced by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. This phenomenon differs from other regulatory pathways of I, since it is highly temperature-dependent, is observable only in the presence of low intracellular Ca buffering capacity, and requires a cytosolic factor(s) which is rapidly lost during cell dialysis. Moreover, the inhibition is specific for ADP and is partially mimicked by ADPS and AMP, but not by GDP or GTP.
