Evidences a(CHEBI:nifedipine) to bp(GO:"calcium-mediated signaling")

As shown in Fig. 5, A–C, nifedipine was found to decrease the peak calcium response to choline in PC12 cells (peak: 795.00% ΔF/Fθ ± 107.1%) by 56.94% (p = 0.003), whereas prolonging the duration of the choline-induced calcium transient (AUC: 749.50% ΔF/Fθ2 × s ± 64.02%) in the same cell.

In α7345–348A nAChR expressing cells, nifedipine had no effect on the peak or the duration of the calcium transient (peak: 957.00% ΔF/Fθ ± 252.2%; AUC: 333.33% ΔF/Fθ2 × s ± 91.53%) relative to choline treatment alone (Fig. 5, A–C). The findings suggest that choline-induced calcium responses in PC12 cells involve the activity of VGCC (37, 38).
