Abstract

Objective: We visualized and investigated the intracellular calcium waves propagated by platelet-activating factor (PAF) in cultured human myometrial cells. Study design: Myometrial cells were stimulated with PAF ranging between 10 −8 and 10 −15 M. For the observation of calcium waves, calcium green-1 and a confocal laser microscopy were used. Cells were also stimulated with 10 −9 M of PAF in a calcium-free solution. Results: In physiological solution, PAF at concentrations ranging between 10 −9 and 10 −15 M induced intracellular calcium waves. Mean wave speed was 16.1±5.6 μm/s. Wave speeds were independent of the PAF concentration. Similar results were observed in the absence of added calcium, with the exception that the wave speeds were significantly slower (7.3±3.3 μm/s). Conclusion: This is the first study to demonstrate the calcium waves propagated by PAF stimulation in human myometrial cells. These observations further support the proposed role of PAF in parturition.
