The aim of the present study was to investigate the properties and role of capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE) in interstitial cells (IC) isolated from the rabbit urethra. Ca2+ entry in IC was larger in cells with depleted intracellular Ca2+ stores compared with controls, consistent with influx via a CCE pathway. The nonselective Ca2+ entry blockers Gd3+ (10 μM), La3+ (10 μM), and Ni2+ (100 μM) reduced CCE by 67% ( n = 14), 65% ( n = 11), and 55% ( n = 9), respectively. These agents did not inhibit Ca2+ entry when stores were not depleted. Conversely, CCE in IC was resistant to SKF-96365 (10 μM), wortmannin (10 μM), and nifedipine (1 μM). Spontaneous transient inward currents were recorded from IC voltage-clamped at −60 mV. These events were not significantly affected by Gd3+ (10 μM) or La3+ (10 μM) and were only slightly decreased in amplitude by 100 μM Ni2+. The results from this study demonstrate that freshly dispersed IC from the rabbit urethra possess a CCE pathway. However, influx via this pathway does not appear to contribute to spontaneous activity in these cells.
