TGFβ1, a decisive regulator of megakaryocyte maturation and platelet formation, has previously been shown to up-regulate both, store operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) and Ca2+ extrusion by Na+/Ca2+ exchange. The growth factor thus augments the increase of cytosolic Ca2+ activity ([Ca2+]i) following release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores and accelerates the subsequent decline of [Ca2+]i. The effect on SOCE is dependent on a signaling cascade including p38 kinase, serum & glucocorticoid inducible kinase SGK1, and nuclear factor NFκB. The specific Na+/Ca2+ exchanger isoforms involved and the signalling regulating the Na+/Ca2+ exchangers remained, however elusive. The present study explored, whether TGFβ1 influences the expression and function of K+ insensitive (NCX) and K+ sensitive (NCKX) Na+/Ca2+ exchangers, and aimed to shed light on the signalling involved.
