This study investigated the acute effects of a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-{gamma} ligand, ciglitizone, on cell proliferation and intracellular Ca2+ signaling in human normal myometrium and uterine leiomyoma. The changes in intracellular Ca2+ level ([Ca2+]i) were measured using fura-2/AM, and the cellular viabilities were determined by viable cell count and MTT reduction assay. Ciglitizone (100 µM) induced greater inhibition of cell proliferation in uterine leiomyoma than in myometrium. Ciglitizone also dose-dependently increased [Ca2+]i in both myometrium and uterine leiomyoma; these [Ca2+]i increases were inhibited by PPAR-{gamma} antagonists and raloxifene. The ciglitizone-induced [Ca2+]i increase showed only an initial peak in normal myometrial cells, while in uterine leiomyoma there was a second sustained [Ca2+]i increase as well. The initial [Ca2+]i increase in both myometrium and uterine leiomyoma resulted from the release of Ca2+ by sarcoplasmic reticulum via activation of ryanodine receptors. The second [Ca2+]i increase was observed only in uterine leiomyoma due to a Ca2+ influx via an activation of store-operated Ca2+ channel (SOC). Cell proliferation was inhibited and the secondary [Ca2+]i increase in uterine leiomyoma was attenuated by cotreatment of ciglitizone with a SOC blocker, lanthanum. The results suggest that ciglitizone inhibits cell proliferation and increases [Ca2+]i through the activation of SOC especially in human uterine leiomyoma.
