The calcium-sensing receptors (CaSRs) play an important role in many tissues and organs that are involved in inflammatory reactions. Peripheral blood polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are important inflammatory cells. However, the expression and functions of CaSR in peripheral blood PMNs are still not reported. In this study, we collected rat peripheral blood PMNs to observe the relationship between CaSR and PMNs. From the results, we found first that the CaSR protein was expressed in PMNs, and it increased after PMNs were activated with fMLP. In addition, CaSR activator cincalcet promoted the expression of CaSR and P-p65 (NF-kappa B signaling pathway protein) and Bcl-xl (antiapoptosis protein), and it increased the secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and myeloperoxidase (MPO); meanwhile, it decreased proapoptosis protein Bax expression and the production of IL-10 and reactive oxygen species (ROS). At the same time, cincalcet also decreased the PMN apoptosis rate analyzed by flow cytometry. However, CaSR inhibitor NPS-2143 and NF-kappa B signaling pathway inhibitor PDTC reverse the results cited earlier. All of these results indicated that CaSR can regulate PMN functions and status to play a role in inflammation, which is probably through the NF-kappa B signaling pathway.
