Although there are numerous examples of 2-APB inhibiting Ca2+ signaling in intact cells, its mechanism of action is unclear. In addition to attenuating the release of internal Ca2+ stores, 2-APB can also inhibit the store-operated channels (SOCs) that replenish the Ca2+ pool, suggesting that the inhibition of SOC may be a primary target for 2-APB.
| SPECIFIC ACTIONS OF 2-APB ON Ca2+ RELEASE BY InsP3 RECEPTORS |

|
|
|---|
Ironically, the inhibitory effect of 2-APB on Ca2+ release via InsP3Rs is perhaps the most controversial of its actions. The cell types where 2-APB has been shown to have effects consistent with inhibition of InsP3-induced Ca2+ release include platelets (9
, 10)
, suprachiasmatic nucleus (11)
, ventricular cardiomyocytes (12)
, various types of smooth muscle (9
, 13

, toad sinus venosus (19)
, pancreatic ß cells (20)
, fungal growth tips (21)
, hippocampal neurons (22)
, skeletal myotubes (23)
, neutrophils (24)
, and endothelial cells (25)
. Generally, these studies found that over the range 1100 µM, 2-APB inhibited Ca2+ signals due to the release of intracellular stores and subsequent Ca2+ entry. However, in many of these studies, 2-APB has been used to demonstrate the involvement of InsP3Rs without consideration of additional effects.
Results obtained using permeabilized cells, cell membranes, and intact cells suggest that 2-APB may not be a consistent blocker of InsP3Rs. Whereas Maruyama et al. (9)
and others (e.g., refs 26
, 27
) found that InsP3-induced Ca2+ release in permeabilized cells was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by 2-APB, different studies have reported either weak inhibition or no effect on InsP3-induced Ca2+ release (e.g., 28
).
Why 2-APB has such a variable effect on InsP3-induced Ca2+ release in intact or permeabilized cells is unclear. One possibility, suggested by Kukkonen et al. (29)
, is that 2-APB shows selectivity for different InsP3R isoforms. Consistent with this notion, some of the most prominent effects of 2-APB have been seen in cell types that largely express types 1 and 3 InsP3Rs, whereas cells that express largely type 2 InsP3Rs seem to be insensitive. However, there are exceptions to this rule, which suggests it is perhaps only a partial explanation. An alternative possibility derives from the mixed mode of inhibition of InsP3-induced Ca2+ release by 2-APB. The inhibitory effect of 2-APB can be partially out-competed by increasing InsP3 concentration. The IC50 for inhibition of InsP3-evoked Ca2+ release is therefore dependent on the ambient InsP3 concentration. In experiments by Maruyama et al. (9)
, Ca2+ released from cerebellar membranes by 100 nM InsP3 was inhibited by 2-APB with an IC50 of
1020 µM. The maximal response of cerebellar microsomes to InsP3 is achieved with 10 µM InsP3; at this concentration of InsP3, the IC50 for 2-APB is
1 mM (J. Bilmen and F. Michelangeli, personal communication). The discrepant effects of 2-APB in blocking agonist-induced Ca2+ release in intact cells may therefore indicate that different cell types generate substantially varying levels of InsP3. However, this is also likely to be only a partial explanation, since the same concentrations of 2-APB and InsP3 have been shown to have contrasting effects in different cell types (e.g., compare refs 27
, 28
). Although there is no apparent resolution to the divergent effects of 2-APB on InsP3-induced Ca2+ release in different studies, these data do highlight the need for caution in simply using 2-APB as an InsP3R antagonist. In some situations, 2-APB attenuates Ca2+ signaling without modulating Ca2+ flux through InsP3Rs. In these cases, the action of 2-APB can be explained by inhibition of Ca2+ entry.
| SPECIFIC ACTIONS OF 2-APB ON Ca2+ ENTRY THROUGH SOCs |
|---|
|
|
|---|
Despite its widespread use, there is presently no clear-cut evidence for 2-APB inhibiting Ca2+ signaling by solely targeting InsP3Rs. At best, it seems that in some cells 2-APB can inhibit both agonist-induced Ca2+ release and the concomitant SOC with the same efficacy (e.g., refs 16
, 27
). In contrast, there are several studies of intact cells where 2-APB was found not to inhibit InsP3-induced Ca2+ release, but it could still block Ca2+ entry. For example, Barritt and colleagues (28)
found that concentrations of 2-APB of up to 100 µM had no effect on Ca2+ release during vasopressin stimulation of primary hepatocytes, but it did cause a concentration-dependent inhibition of Ca2+ influx with an IC50 of
10 µM. Thapsigargin-induced Ca2+ influx was inhibited with a comparable concentration dependence. A similar effect of 2-APB inhibiting SOC without affecting Ca2+ release has been demonstrated for CHO cells (29)
.
The best evidence for 2-APB inhibiting SOC through a mechanism not involving InsP3Rs is that it is still effective in cells that do not express InsP3Rs at all (27
, 31
, 34
, 35)
. Activation of Drosophila photoreceptors relies on the gating of light-activated cation channels in the plasma membrane of these cells. It is well established that the InsP3Rs expressed in Drosophila photoreceptors are not necessary for vision, yet 2-APB still blocked light-induced cation entry (27
, 36)
.
2-APB does not inhibit SOC when internally perfused within cells (31
, 32)
or applied to the cytosolic surface of excised membrane patches (33)
. Extracellularly applied 2-APB inhibits SOC in platelets with no measurable delay, similar to inorganic ions such as lanthanum (37)
. These data indicate that 2-APB blocks SOC by interacting at the outside of cells. The manner in which 2-APB prevents SOC is unclear. The agonist-induced activation of the putative SOC channel TRP3 heterologously expressed in HEK cells was inhibited by 2-APB whereas activation of the same channel by diacylglycerol analogs was not (30)
. Similarly, in Drosophila photoreceptors, 2-APB blocked light-induced cation entry but not that evoked by metabolic stress (36)
. If 2-APB simply occluded these channels, it should prevent their activation by any means. These data therefore suggest that 2-APB probably does not bind directly to the channels, but rather interacts upstream in their activation mechanism (see also ref 38
).
If 2-APB is to be used as a SOC inhibitor, it is essential that it has good selectivity for those channels. The original study demonstrated that it had no effect on voltage-operated Ca2+ channels (9)
, a finding supported by several other studies (11
, 13
, 16
, 19
, 23)
. Several other non-voltage-activated Ca2+ entry pathways that are distinct from SOC are not inhibited by 2-APB, including S-nitrosylation-induced influx in a smooth muscle cell line (39)
, maitotoxin-evoked Ca2+ entry in hepatocytes (28)
, Ca2+ influx caused by diacylglycerol analogs in PC12 cells (40)
, muscarinic activation of nonselective cation channels in smooth muscle (41)
, and arachidonate-stimulated Ca2+ channels in HEK293 cells (38)
and HeLa cells (authors unpublished observations).
Despite its lack of action on the non-SOC Ca2+ entry pathways listed above, 2-APB is not completely specific for SOC channels, as it has been shown to inhibit MagNuM channels (also known as LTRPC7 and TRP-PLIK; ref 42
). MagNuM is a widely expressed ion channel that conducts Ca2+ and Mg2+ at negative membrane potentials. This channel is not regulated by store depletion, but instead is activated by a decrease in intracellular levels of magnesium nucleotides (43)
. Although SOC and MagNuM may be difficult to discriminate if they are simultaneously switched on, since the latter is not activated by store depletion it is likely that the flux of Ca2+ through this channel will not be appreciably altered by mild treatments that activate SOC. Under many experimental conditions, therefore, it is likely that a block of Ca2+ entry by 2-APB would reflect and affect SOC channels rather than MagNuM. In rat basophilic leukemia cells, the effect of 2-APB on MagNuM was rapidly reversible whereas its effects on SOC were not (42)
. The reversibility of 2-APB may therefore provide a means of discriminating between different targets.
2-APB also modifies the conductance through CaT1 channels (44)
. These channels were suggested to underlie ICRAC, a well-characterized form of SOC (45)
. However, whereas 2-APB irreversibly inhibits ICRAC, it reversibly potentiates the conductance of CaT1 channels, suggesting they are not the same (44)
.
At present, the bulk of data supports the notion that 2-APB is an almost universal blocker of SOC and some TRP isoforms (35)
while being a rather variable inhibitor of InsP3-induced Ca2+ release. Whereas substantially different concentrations of 2-APB are needed to inhibit InsP3-induced Ca2+ release in different cell types, SOC is generally fully inhibited by 50100 µM 2-APB. The present exceptions to this are SH-SY5Y cells, which appear to be completely insensitive to 2-APB (29)
, and neutrophils where Ca2+ signals in response to platelet-activating factor were totally blocked by 100 nM 2-APB (46)
.
| POTENTIALLY UNHELPFUL ACTIONS OF 2-APB |

10 µM, 2-APB caused a transient increase in the amplitude of systolic Ca2+ rises, followed by a progressive diminution of the electrically evoked responses (authors unpublished observations). This effect is consistent with an inhibition of SERCA activity leading initially to an enhanced response due to less Ca2+ sequestration, but the lack of Ca2+ store refilling eventually leads to a failure of excitation-contraction coupling.
2-APB prevents mitochondria from releasing Ca2+ they have sequestered (31)
, possibly by an inhibitory action on the sodium/Ca2+ exchanger. We have found that 2-APB at 100 µM causes mitochondria to swell and change shape, but without causing them to depolarize (authors unpublished observations).
These actions of 2-APB may render it useless in some situations. However, in experimental protocols investigating SOC activity, the intracellular Ca2+ pool is often completely discharged by application of substances such as thapsigargin. Under those conditions, any effect of 2-APB on the Ca2+ leak or SERCAs would be irrelevant. Although mitochondria and intracellular Ca2+ signaling systems communicate bidirectionally, the effect of inhibiting mitochondrial Ca2+ release on a particular response can be directly tested by using the sodium/Ca2+ exchange blocker GCP37157 (47)
.
Another potentially limiting feature of 2-APB is that it is poorly reversible in some cell types. In toad sinus venosus, for example, it took > 1 h for the inhibitory effects of 60 µM 2-APB to be reversed (19
, see also refs 27
, 31
, 32
). These data contrast with other studies where the inhibitory effects 2-APB were reversed within a few minutes (28)
or even immediately (36)
. In studies of cardiac myocytes, we have found that the concentration of 2-APB applied to cells determined its reversibility. 2-APB inhibited spontaneous diastolic Ca2+ transients evoked by endothelin 1. At concentrations of < 5 µM, this effect was readily reversible, whereas higher concentrations gave a prolonged inhibition (unpublished results).
Some of the discrepant effects of 2-APB may be due to its ability to exist as different species. Besides the open-chain monomeric form, it has been suggested to dimerize (39)
and form a monomeric heterocyclic compound with an internal coordinate nitrogen-boron bond (10)
. It was proposed that 2-APB dimers resemble Xestospongins, indicating a common mechanism of action (39)
, but this seems unlikely (10)
. A comparison of structural analogs of 2-APB that inhibit Ca2+ signaling in platelets has suggested that the diphenyl moiety is important for its activity (10)
.
The pKb of 2-APB is
10, which means that in physiological pH its amine group will be protonated, giving the molecule a net positive charge (J. Bilmen and F. Michelangeli, personal communication; ref 10
). We have found that 2-APB causes a rapid cytoplasmic acidification that is slowly reversible, suggesting that it either carries protons across the membrane or displaces them from internal sites (authors unpublished observations).

The enhanced leak of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum and inhibition of SERCA activity by 2-APB may underlie some of the observed potentiation of Ca2+ signaling and the suggestion that 2-APB may act as an agonist of InsP3Rs (51)
. Ca2+ that is nonspecifically released by stores can positively stimulate further InsP3 production or Ca2+ release (e.g., 52
). Removal of Ca2+ sequestration by SERCA inhibition will remove a negative feedback component from the responses. Therefore, whereas potentiatory effects of 2-APB on Ca2+ entry might reflect modulation of channels (31)
, enhancement of Ca2+ release probably reflects actions of 2-APB on the Ca2+ leak and SERCAs.
