Neomycin was used to assess the involvement of Ins (1,4,5)P3 in the Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum induced by the bile acid taurolithocholate. In saponin-permeabilized rat hepatocytes, neomycin via its ability to bind Ins (1,4,5)P3 abolished the release of Ca2+ induced by added Ins (1,4,5)P3. In contrast, it did not alter the Ca2+ release initiated by the bile acid. In intact cells, neomycin had no effect on the [Ca2+]i rises promoted by taurolithocholate and vasopressin. It is suggested that the effect of taurolithocholate in liver is not mediated by Ins (1,4,5)P3 but results from a primary action on endoplasmic reticulum.
